Chapter 758 Konoha Responds to the Challenge
The four major ninja villages planned well and believed that Konoha Village rushed into the battle and had no time to prepare for the war.
According to common sense, Konoha started making preparations as soon as it received the ultimatum. First of all, the military supplies were not collected. Secondly, the ninjas who went out on missions had no time to rush back to Konoha, so it was difficult to complete the assembly of the ninja army.
Therefore, Konoha had no choice but to compromise, even if it was delayed for a few days, until the allied forces of the four major ninja villages gathered at the foot of Konoha City for a siege. In order to prevent the village from being destroyed, they had no choice but to humiliately sign an alliance under the city walls.
The four village ninja armies can also take the opportunity to plunder, ruthlessly rob Konoha of the economic construction results of the past year, and move away all the factory equipment, materials, and funds that can be moved.
However, the situation in Konoha Village is not as bad as imagined. With the current production capacity of Konoha Factory, it takes only ten days for the workers to produce the armaments required by the army of ten thousand people, as long as the workers work three shifts and work overtime.
As for the ninjas who go out to do missions, Konoha ninjas no longer undertake transnational missions with high risks and high casualty rates because the input-output ratio is too low.
Moreover, nowadays the wealthy Konoha Village does not need to work hard to make money. The lives of ninjas are more valuable than the commissions earned.
The ninjas who go out to do missions in Konoha Village are all in the Kingdom of Fire, and the entire territory of the Land of Fire is covered by a road network. Konoha ninjas go out to do missions by car. The car is equipped with a high-power radio station, which can receive the call immediately. notify.
How do the Konoha ninjas in the original plot deliver messages over long distances?
It’s similar to the Asgardians whose technology tree is super crooked, relying on birds.
Kakashi Ban once escorted Shibuki, the ninja leader of Takinin Village, back to Takinin Falls Village. He received a flying eagle message from Konoha, informing him that the village would convene a Jonin meeting.
Even if the flying speed of an eagle is 200 kilometers per hour, it is far lower than the transmission speed of electromagnetic waves. God knows that the ninja world, which already has analog signal television technology, still uses birds to transmit information. Isn't it afraid of delaying the war?
The ninjas who were out on a mission received the message from the car radio. If the road conditions were good, they could rush back to Konoha from anywhere in the Land of Fire within a day, without delaying the assembly of the ninja army.
The various changes brought to Konoha by the Dragon Chamber of Commerce have invisibly improved the war mobilization ability of Konoha Village. Unfortunately, instead of adopting Naruto's suggestion to arm the ninja army with technology and prepare the army for war in advance, Sarutobi Hiruzen will He forced him to leave, otherwise Konoha Village would definitely give the four major ninja villages a big surprise in the upcoming ninja war.
Jiraiya forcefully vetoed the peace negotiation proposal of Koharu and Mito Monobu, telling them that if you want to talk, you can go and talk. Konoha's bottom line is that it can only pay a maximum of 30% of the tariff. If the Five Ninjas If the National Fourth Ninja Village doesn't accept it, then let's have a fight first and then talk after the fight.
Jiraiya's decision was supported by Danzo, and most of the ninja clan in Konoha voted in approval. Most importantly, Team Metro, the strongest elite team in Konoha, also expressed support.
Metro's team has four Kage-level ninjas and is undoubtedly the main force on the battlefield. Their support plays a huge role in influencing the outcome of this meeting.
In the end, Konoha's top leaders decided that Konoha would enter a state of war and immediately assemble the ninja army to face the coalition of four major ninja villages that were advancing from all directions and trying to surround Konoha.
Konoha Village is located in the middle of the Country of Fire, and the Country of Fire is located in the middle of the Ninja World. It can be said that Konoha Village is in the center of the Ninja World. The four major Ninja Villages are located in the four directions of Konoha Village, southeast, northwest, and through the Konoha Ninja Army. The staff concluded that the four-village coalition was likely to attack from both directions on the east and west fronts.
This is because Konoha's military strength is not weak. If the four villages divide their forces and advance from four directions, they are likely to be defeated by Konoha's ninja army one by one. Therefore, the method of "strong villages and weak villages join forces and attack from the east and west" is adopted to attack Konoha. The Ye Ninja Army is the greatest threat.
Specifically, on the eastern front, Kumogakure and Kirigakure villages joined forces, and the Kirigakure ninja army landed in the Kingdom of Iron by boat, joined the Kumogakure ninja army who marched by land, and crossed the border of the Iron Country into the Land of Fire.
On the western front, Sand Hidden Village and Iwagakure Village joined forces. The two ninja armies merged in the Country of Grass and entered the Country of Fire after gathering.
As a result, the Konoha ninja army can only divide its forces for defense. If any line of defense is breached and the enemy arrives at the gate of Konoha Village, even if the four-village coalition forces are repelled by Konoha along the way, they will attack Konoha on the other side and kill the Konoha ninjas. The Konoha ninja army had to surrender due to concerns about the lives of the villagers.
The countermeasures made by the Konohagakure Ninja Village Staff Headquarters are that on the western front, two thousand ninja troops led by Metro Squad will block the Iwagakure Sandgakure coalition, and on the eastern front, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Sarutobi Hiruzen will lead Three thousand ninja troops fought against the Kumogakure and Kirigakure coalition forces.
Danzo led the root ninjas to conduct guerrilla warfare, sneak attacks on the supply lines behind Sunagakure and Iwagakure, and used surprise attacks to find a turning point in the battle.
The mission of Koharu and Mito Katohan is to immediately start diplomatic work and try to reduce the tariff ratio through diplomatic mediation. It is also a strategic confusion, pretending that Konoha is not ready for war and wants to pass Spend money to buy peace of mind through the crisis.
This set of counterattack strategies was jointly planned by Nara Shikaku and Nara Shikamaru, who had just been promoted to Jonin. The father and son worked hand in hand and worked together to formulate a remarkable countermeasure.
At this point, the countdown to the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja War has begun.
…
The ninja world is turbulent, and a war that will determine the future of the world is about to break out, but the country of Tian is a peaceful scene.
As an illegal organization that masters the forbidden art of mass murder, the major ninja villages that are about to enter the war can only selectively ignore it and treat Tian Country as a blank area on the map in order not to get burned.
The General Staff of the Four Villages Allied Forces combined various intelligences and believed that Naruto rebelled against the village due to unfair treatment in Konoha. His various actions in Tian Country, such as being busy with civil infrastructure construction, seemed to be to establish an independent kingdom and pass the lord Daimyo Emperor. Addiction should not interfere with the war in the early stages of development and destroy the results of hard work.
In order to guard against the Tian Country Youth League organization, the four-village coalition divided 5,000 troops and deployed troops outside the borders of Tian Country as a deterrent. However, they did not dare to send troops into Tian Country, so as not to touch Naruto's sensitive nerves and bring trouble to the upcoming ninja world. War brings changes.
In a ward in the Oto Ninja Village Hospital, Tsunade was observing the glass through the isolation room, looking intently at a patient who was half lying in the ward chatting with a friend.
The patient had long white hair and a pale face. Although he was suffering from a stubborn disease and could die at any time, he was still calm and calm. He was also polite and well-educated, showing maturity beyond his years.
Except for the lack of a gentle smile, the patient looked very much like a man, a man that Tsunade had been dreaming about for many years.
"What's wrong with me? He can be my grandson!"
Tsunade slapped her cheek and shook her head vigorously, trying to force herself to look away, but found it difficult, really difficult...
