Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 736: Your Majesty and I are ready to fight to the death, why did you surrender first?
In the dark space, on top of the towering tree!

Blurry phantoms stood on it, and the only difference between them was their eyes, representing their different identities.

"Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, let's prepare now!"

A figure at the top of the giant tree spoke.

"Yes!"

A dozen or so black shadows bowed respectfully, then disappeared one after another.

Castle tower!
"It's so hard for me to create an illusion space with the help of the Sky Tower, but Nagato can easily handle a multi-person meeting over such a long distance. The illusion body technique is really magical!"

Tang Ping, who had just returned, rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself.

Yes, in the giant tree space just now, he used the Sky Clearing Tower as a signal tower, and then used natural energy and hibiscus tree branches to locate, successfully bringing people together for a meeting.

But the effect is far inferior to Nagato.

No matter how far away the opponent is, as long as they are in the ninja world, they can be pulled together for a meeting, and it doesn't consume much energy, and they can even help launch the Elephant Turning Technique.

It's so magical that I have no friends.

Tang Ping coveted this ability very much.

Unfortunately, it is an ability that comes with the Rinnegan, not a ninjutsu or something like that, so there is nothing someone can do to teach me even if they want to.

Sky Tower!
But it can not only collect emotions/grant faith energy, but also has a lot of additional abilities, which are also related to the subsequent "Heaven Plan", so Tang Ping has to do everything possible to drag Longchidong into the water.

Because only in this way will there be a reason to take action against it, thus saving time to achieve the goal of building the Sky Tower in the three holy places to cover the ninja world.

To this end, he did not hesitate to let the castle tower lose a large amount of territory and suffer heavy casualties.

He will not feel any psychological burden about these casualties.

After all, he was not the one who could start the Ninja World War alone. Besides, he could not really treat them like pigs if he gave them such good benefits.

After this period of great battles, the internal cohesion of the castle tower has increased a lot.

The losses are worth it compared to the gains.

Now that the plan has been successful, he will be able to achieve his strategic goal after tomorrow.

Divide the ninja world into two!

Directly split the ninja world into two to start the 'Cold War', bring together the corrupt forces, and finally destroy them.

In fact, he also wanted to push forward in one breath and purify the corrupt ninja world.

But if we play like this, the Six Paths Sage will definitely come out and help Prince Naruto cheat.

Konoha is their base. How can they play if you have already defeated them?

Therefore, even if Dou Ping was confident about the decisive battle tomorrow, he had no intention of wiping out the ninja world.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but the ninja world is too complicated and now is not the time.

It would be better to use the 'Cold War' to consume and wear down the other party, and when you finally have the strength to deal with the manipulator behind the scenes, complete the final goal in one go.

The next day!

The sky is clear.

Even in autumn and winter, one can feel a sense of heat.

However, at this time, both sides of the central defense line of the castle tower certainly could not feel this heat, but instead felt cold.

A cold murderous intent permeated the battlefield.

On the central battlefield today, Jiraiya gathered his troops, which had just rested and were even larger in number than last time, to fight.

Just a dozen days.

Nearly half of the bastion defense area on the castle tower side was breached.

It’s not that the coalition forces have any powerful means, they are just using human lives to fill the gap.

The number of casualties among foot soldiers and samurai alone exceeded more than 100,000.

It's like tens of thousands of people dying every day, just like a meat grinder.

Even thousands of ninjas died.

Terrible!

No matter who sees these data, they can think of the bloody scene behind it.

The fighting in the center was so fierce that the allied forces on both wings naturally did not want to be outdone and they all attacked with all their might.

Fortunately, not only was the castle tower powerful, but its defense line was also extremely solid, so they were able to successfully hold the line.

However, the coalition forces were well aware that the real main battlefield was in the middle.

Even though the Cloud Ninja and the Iwagakure Ninja were also extremely wary of the castle tower, they had never felt any "pain". Konoha was under the greatest pressure, so they naturally would not compete for the protagonist's position.

Over the battlefield.

The airships of various shapes completely covered the sky.

Although the coalition forces were far inferior to the castle tower in terms of technology, it was certainly not a problem to manufacture some simple airships. Hundreds or even thousands of airships had already drawn most of the coalition forces' airships.

And the number of flying troops using hang gliders was even more exaggerated. At this time, they took off like raindrops from the temporary air tower built in the rear camp.

Compared with the number of flying units on the coalition side, the number on the castle tower side is much smaller.

But no one dares to underestimate it.

First, the "Kirov airship" painted like a shark is high in the sky.

In terms of quality, they are on a completely different level. Whether in speed, defense, or even other aspects, the Kirov airship has an overwhelming advantage.

Especially the take-off altitude!
It is not important for airships at normal times, but it is extremely critical on the battlefield.

Thousands of meters high, these crude airships cannot reach a height, let alone an ordinary hang glider. Only a professionally trained wind-style ninja can reach such an altitude.

Dozens of Kirov airships were all that remained after the Battle of Myōbokuyama.

This type of war airship is manufactured extremely slowly, so the replenishment speed is not very fast, and it has not even recovered to the number before the Battle of Myoboku Mountain.

In addition to the Kirov airship, there were also a number of aircraft hovering.

Compared to hang gliders, these aircraft are not the same thing at all except that they look similar.

In the previous war of attrition, the air force of the castle tower had always treated the coalition flying forces like pigs.

That is to say, they should be more "restrained" and pretend nothing happened when the other side retreated. Otherwise, the flying unit of the coalition forces would have been wiped out long ago.

In ground combat, you can still use crowds of people, but in air combat, no matter how many people you have, it is difficult to make up for the disadvantage.

Just like the Kirov airship!
After occupying a commanding position, no matter how many people on the coalition side there were, they could get close except for the wind-style ninjas who specialized in air combat.

Ground troops also appeared one after another.

As the party that took the initiative to initiate the decisive battle, the coalition forces had astonishing numbers.

I'm talking about ninjas!
Ordinary troops that serve as consumables did not appear at all today.

Tens of thousands of ninja soldiers!

They dispersed into small teams and slowly surrounded the bastion area of ​​the castle tower.

At the forefront were Jiraiya and a group of Konoha's strong men, including Kakashi, Gai, Yamato, and other elite soldiers who had not appeared in the last attack.

burn one's boats!

It looked like Jiraiya was ready to fight to the death.

Whether for revenge or for Konoha, the castle tower must be destroyed.

There is only one chance, and there may not be another chance if you miss it, so Jiraiya must have made up his mind to die and bring all the strength of Konoha with him.

Especially the three thousand Yuan family soldiers also came.

Doing so would be equivalent to wasting decades of efforts of the Sarutobi clan.

Because these private armies of the Sarutobi clan participated in such a brutal war, it would be good if only a few of them could return.

I can only say that this move is cruel enough.

The Sarutobi clan is Jiraiya's family, and with the existence of Asuma, the 'Dragon of Konoha', it is indeed a bit excessive to treat them like this.

Do you think it was Jiraiya's work?

wrong!
He just didn't object.

Because the person who proposed to let the Sarutobi clan's private army join the war was someone no one would have expected.

Sarutobi Asuma!
That's right, it's the 'prince' of the Sarutobi clan.

It's the ninja version of 'Your Majesty, why did you surrender first when we were about to fight to the death?'

If it was proposed by the village leaders, the Sarutobi clan would have refused.

After all, even though I embezzled and misappropriated public funds, money is money and people are people, and they cannot be confused.

In theory, the village cannot mobilize private armies.

In previous ninja wars, the top leaders privately negotiated with the ninja clans to use post-war profits to compensate for the losses of private armies.

Therefore, after the three wars, the major ninja clans suffered heavy losses and did not receive any compensation, so Sarutobi Hiruzen had to step down as an explanation.

The Sarutobi clan's private army village is indeed not qualified to be mobilized, but Sarutobi Asuma is the young clan leader, so he is naturally qualified to be mobilized.

This action of his instantly freed him from the influence of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his reputation skyrocketed.

Today, three thousand Yuan family soldiers also went into battle under his leadership.

The number of Konoha's ninjas alone exceeds eight thousand.

Together with the ninjas from other forces, the number of ninjas in the Central Alliance has exceeded tens of thousands, which is an unprecedented scale.

And there is also a new ninja army among them.
