Chapter 975 Pros and Cons
The ninja world does not have nuclear bombs or ultra-long-range cruise missiles, but it can still form a deterrent balance.
Of course, to achieve such a balanced situation, at least there must be enough powerful flying ninjas.
Just like before, the "Akatsuki" organization teamed up to attack Sunagakure Village and threw several large rocks from the sky. Sunagakure Village could only watch helplessly as justice fell from the sky.
By the way, except for the owners of the Samsara Eye and strong men of the same level, they can break this balance, but how many such masters can there be in the ninja world, and how many years does it take for one to appear?
Unless full-attribute defense capabilities such as λ-DRIVER and psychic barrier are developed in the future, or even real conceptual weapons with high magic and high martial arts such as Gundam and EVA, can the changes brought about by the emergence of air combat troops be promoted to the next level. level.
After all, the path of the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki and Yin-Yang Escape is too narrow. As long as humans are still the masters of this world, huge changes in the mode of war will also subvert the traditional strength and weakness of the ninja world.
Daimaru always felt that only the "erudite" himself could understand that the emergence of the epoch-making air combat troops would subtly change the balance of power between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Ninja Village at the core military level. As for the top masters, that requires sufficient physical training. It can only be cultivated with the amount and population size, as well as sufficient resources. You can't count on time travelers like Daimaru or genetic mutations. You have to lay a solid foundation, and this takes time.
"You actually thought about it so much?"
Regarding Jiraiya's question, Daimaru was noncommittal and could only try to deal with it.
"The air combat troops of Sand Hidden Village are not that exaggerated..."
Jiraiya burped, breathed out alcohol, and said dizzy:
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I still feel a bit unclear! Individual flying masters and air combat troops trained on a large scale are completely different concepts. Even the demolition troops of Iwagakure Village are not that powerful."
What Jiraiya means, and Daimaru also understands, is that being able to fly is an amazing ability. In the past, only a few talented ninjas could master it, and it was not systematic.
Sunagakure Village has opened up the road for ordinary ninjas to become flying ninjas, and the qualification requirements are much lower than the above. Most of the backbone of Daimaru's subordinates are selected from the unsuccessful apprentices. The wind escape qualifications are the best, and there is no possibility of being able to do so. Almost, but not completely impossible.
Basically, the qualifications are much lower than those of traditional puppet masters, but with enough training, they can become flying ninjas, which is quite scary.
This situation can basically be compared to the emergence of thermal weapons. The majestic cavalry and well-trained infantry phalanxes that cross the battlefield can only retreat sadly in the face of thermal weapons.
The elite soldiers who have been trained hard since childhood and experienced hundreds of battles are just targets to be lined up and shot in front of the musketeers who are illiterate and can only train in shooting for a few months before they can be dragged into the battlefield in droves.
As long as the population size of Sunagakure Village increases, it is rich enough, and it can maintain the advantages of puppetry and aerial combat troops, Konohagakure's status as the overlord of the ninja world will begin to shake.
Originally, Daimaru only had a vague idea in his mind, but with the subsequent development, he felt that Sunagakure Village did have a chance to achieve "overtaking in a corner". There was still a long way to go to replace Konoha Village, but there was still hope for being on equal footing.
Daimaru had also vaguely mentioned to Gaara before that not long ago, after becoming the acting Kazekage and taking control of the entire Sunagakure Village, he realized that he could gain a foothold in the harsh conditions of the Wind Country and become one of the five great ninja villages, and his strength was still average. There are really some reasons for reaching such a high standard.
Ninjas who are good at wind-type chakra ninjutsu have the advantage of being more numerous. If they can be fully stimulated, their future will be limitless.
Maybe other shinobi villages also have matching attributes, such as the earth attribute of Iwagakure Village and the water attribute of Kirigakure Village, but most of them can only take advantage under certain conditions and are not very applicable.
Sand Hidden Village is good at puppetry, which is not a great advantage. Limiting it to making combat puppets and studying enemy-killing tactics is really overkill.
Looking at Jiraiya, who was holding his chin in one hand and shaking the empty wine bottle in the other, Daimaru nodded imperceptibly:
"Do you want to establish a deeper cooperative relationship with our Suna ninja on behalf of Konoha Village?"
"Um?"
Jiraiya, who didn't seem to realize what he said in his drunken state or what Daimaru across from him was thinking, was stunned for a moment and then shook his head,
"These are things that Tsunade needs to consider, I'm just complaining casually..."
Well, Daimaru once again confirmed that it was wrong to look down at the natives of the ninja world with a time-traveling perspective, especially outstanding figures like the "Sannin", which Daimaru could not underestimate.
In other respects, these ninjas may not think too much, but after being ninjas for decades, their intuition about the advantages and disadvantages of combat modes and approaching crises is really not very sharp.
"Don't try to fool the trend-setters of these times with your advanced intelligence advantage. It can be mutually beneficial, but if you take advantage of others' danger and exploit them too much, there may be consequences in the future..."
Finally, after complaining naggingly that Tsunade didn't care much about the hard-working Toad Sage, Jiraiya shook his head to wake himself up and asked directly:
"I am very interested in the information about the owner of the Samsara Eye. If possible, can you let me see the puppets who showed up?"
After a pause, Jiraiya lowered his voice, leaned over and said:
"I know you have a way. Ninjas who are good at mystical arts can deliver more accurate information..."
"Can……"
Daimaru is also unambiguous. It's hard to tell the pros and cons of telling this matter. But with the Samsara Eye and the Heretic Golem in hand, Nagato is almost invincible. Jiraiya has hope of defeating him, but that's just hope. , when the fight started, there were too many surprises, and it was difficult for Jiraiya to defeat four people with just two fists.
"I only have one request, and that is that I hope that senior will at least remain neutral when there is a conflict between Miao Mushan and me..."
Is this actually a request?
Hearing Daimaru's response, Jiraiya was instantly frightened out of his drunken state.
"What's going on? Do you really have any ill intentions towards those kind-hearted psychic beasts?"
Daimaru shook his head:
"No, you misunderstood. I actually have no conflicts with them. The ninja world is so big that it can accommodate many people, but..."
After embarking on the road of imitating the Holy Land of Psychic Beasts and establishing Sunagakure Village's own heritage place, there will definitely be conflicts of interest with the forerunners. Not to mention anything else, in the Kingdom of Wind, there will be no three major Psychic Beasts in the distant future. The Holy Land stirs up trouble in the space.
Well-intentioned psychic contracts are welcome to enter, and Suna ninjas are not even excluded from contacting them. However, it is absolutely unacceptable to want to enter the core, or even use gimmicks such as prophecies to change the course of Sunagakure Village.
