Chapter 55 The Kingdom of Rain

Naruto World.

The Land of Rain is known as the Land of Weeping.

If we want to explain Qingshui from a geographical and climatic perspective, it is because the ocean monsoon blowing from several other directions is blocked here.

To the southwest of the Rain Kingdom, bordering the Wind Kingdom, there happens to be a huge mountain range that extends southward and surrounds nearly half of the territory of the Wind Kingdom.

To the north of the Land of Rain are the high mountains and plateaus of the Land of Earth, which also block the water vapor.

In addition, the terrain of the Rain Country is lower than that of the Fire Country and the Grass Country to the east, so the water vapor from the ocean monsoons in at least two directions eventually gathers here, making the Rain Country the "rainiest place" in the ninja world.

"Finally, I set foot on the land of the Rain Country again."

Qingshui walked on the muddy ground, carrying the seal scroll, and followed the main group with his teammates.

Ye Cang wrung out the wet corner of his clothes and looked around.

"The water resources here are still as abundant as ever. Last year, I carried out several material escort missions here. At that time, I was thinking how great it would be if we could dig a big river here to connect to the village."

Maki was carrying a large backpack made of waterproof fabric and looking around frequently.

"It seems that I am the only one who has come to the Rain Country for the first time. Before I was assigned to this team, my mission was usually to deliver supplies to the stronghold on the west side of the border. But Ye Cang, you are right. If we can dig a large canal connecting the two places, it will not only alleviate the water shortage in the coastal areas, but also transport a large amount of supplies. Whether it is for commercial exchanges or the transportation of food and troops, it will be of great value!"

There is the sea on the west side of the border of the Kingdom of Wind, but there is a vertical mountain range not far from the sea that blocks the water vapor, resulting in only a small area with good precipitation. According to Qingshui's personal judgment, it has a Mediterranean climate.

During the First Ninja World War, Kirigakure had experience of plundering the coastal areas of the Land of Wind by ship, so that place was also one of the important lines of defense for Sand Village.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. If we want to dig a canal like this, although the efficiency of the ninja can save a lot of manpower, it will not be too low, and the maintenance cost is very high. Once the river is cut off, poisoned, or even stored upstream for water attack, it may not be a big threat to the ninja, but it will cause a devastating blow to the business and agriculture that rely on this river."

Qing Shui shook his head. As he spoke, he memorized the terrain of this road and continued:

"Suppose we spend a year and invest a huge amount of money to operate this canal, and then something like what I said happens. Most of the cost we invested before will be lost. So if we want to dig a canal, we must firmly occupy the upstream area of the river."

Ye Cang and Maki looked at each other.

What this guy said seems to make a lot of sense.

These are the things everyone learns in Ninja School, why are you the only one who can think of these?

Chiyo, who was standing in the front of the team, listened to Shimizu's words and couldn't help but think in his heart: You are worthy of being my disciple!
At this moment, Feng Shang Qianlan came running over from a distance with a few leaps.

"Master Chiyo, there are no traces of ninjas in the ruins of Gray Rain Town ahead. Only a small number of refugees survive here."

"Then we will stay there. As for the refugees, give each of them two days' rations and let them head north."

Chiyo nodded slightly.

According to intelligence, the bases of Konoha and Amegakure are located to the south and east of this place, while the north is occupied by Iwagakure Village.

This will allow Konoha to come into contact with these refugees later, and also allow for the location of the main force of Sunagakure later, giving it more time to set up the camp.

After Konoha knew the location of the main camp of Sand Village, they would definitely think of attacking them while they were still unstable and tired from traveling, and try to drive them away. It would be fine if they killed the refugees, but it was against the rules to involve ordinary people in the battle between ninjas. With too many people watching, this kind of thing could not be done openly.

If Chiyo was more ruthless, she might have sent secret troops to kill the refugees right after sending them away.

Of course, with Konoha's capabilities, even if these refugees are not needed, relying on the Yamanaka, Hyuga, Aburame, Inuzuka and other ninjas with perception and reconnaissance capabilities, they can explore the location of the Sand Village main camp in a relatively short time.

These things have nothing to do with Qingshui.

Even though he was Chiyo's disciple, he was only a Chunin.

The first thing to do after arriving at the destination is to build defensive fortifications for the camp.

Those who can use wind escape can cut down trees and collect materials, those who can use earth escape can build walls, and then there are the construction of watchtowers and other fortifications.

"Qian Lan, after you finish your work here, your team will go to the warehouse to take charge of the inventory of logistics supplies. I must hand this matter over to someone I trust enough and who has enough ability."

After Team 9 built a patrol tower under the guidance of Feng Shang Qian Lan, they received orders from Chiyo.

Qingshui knew that this was probably the care for himself and others.

If you manage logistics, you naturally don’t need to fight at the front line, and your safety will be relatively higher.

Of course, this does not mean complete safety, because logistics has always been the enemy's main target.

However, the logistics warehouse of the main force is the general gathering station for receiving supplies from other logistics channels behind. The supplies for the combat troops of the Sand Village in the Rain Country are mainly obtained here, and there is no need to go out and transport supplies.

If even this place is breached, it means that the main force of Sunagakure has been defeated by the enemy.

If this situation really happened, not to mention Shimizu and others, even the entire army would be in danger of being wiped out.

The ninja was very efficient and it only took a few hours to build the initial fortifications.

Just when Shimizu arrived at the logistics department, he received instructions from Chiyo.

Quickly count the gas masks and antidote pills in the camp and distribute them.

Because...the enemy is coming!
It was not the Konoha ninja that was judged at the beginning.

The visitors were the Hidden Rain Ninjas led by Hanzo of the Salamander.

As local bosses, they are better informed than Konoha.

Hanzo's strength is almost at the top of the current ninja world.

His master-level ninjutsu ability, especially water-style ninjutsu, coupled with his grandmaster-level swordsmanship, instant body movement technique, and strong combat awareness, make him possess a combat power that is no less than that of the five contemporary Kage, and he is regarded as a top figure in the ninja world.

But what is most frightening is Hanzo's ability to use poison.

Whether it's the deadly poison released by the salamander with just a breath, or the poisonous mist released by its spiritual beast, the salamander Jingfu, the mere mention of it makes people shudder.
