However, the fall of the Land of Lightning and the Cloud Village dealt a heavy blow to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. In particular, the death of the Daimyo and nobles of the Land of Lightning made the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who prided himself on being superior, feel the strong threat of death for the first time in a long time.
"Your Highness, urgent information from the front line!"
When the Daimyo of the Land of Fire stayed in his study, and finally suppressed his fear after being irritable for a long time, and was about to go out to ask someone to contact the Daimyo of the Land of Earth immediately, a personal attendant stumbled over, his tone full of panic.
If it were in the past, such rude behavior by the personal servant would have earned him a scolding or even banishment from the Fire Nation Daimyo. Especially when the Fire Nation Daimyo was in a bad mood, such a person without the slightest courtesy would become his punching bag. However, after hearing the words of the personal servant, the Fire Nation Daimyo felt a pang in his heart, and a very bad premonition made him immediately snatch the information.
When the Fire Country Daimyo read the urgent intelligence that had just been delivered to the front line, his face quickly turned pale. He was like a dead person, disregarding his etiquette in front of his subordinates, and his sharp voice was as harsh as a drake:
"What? The leaders of the frontline ninja army that was confronting the Ninja Alliance in the original Wind Country were all killed by the people of the Rain Village in a surprise attack? Even the defense line was breached?!"
Chapter 74 Uzumaki Nagato's Backstab
The time goes back to three hours ago, at the command center of the joint defense line, the frontline commander of the Iwagakure, Huang Tu, and the frontline commander of the Konohagakure, Hatake Kakashi, both walked into the conference room with their guards and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the people from the Raingakure.
After all, it is a critical defense line of the United Camp against the Original Wind Country. While it is called the "United Defense Line" by various forces, they still spare no effort to strengthen the defense line. Although they cannot handle the truly close cooperation of various forces, they try their best to coordinate the command. This command center is the result of compromise among all parties. In wartime, it is used to coordinate the ninja armies of all parties to conduct joint operations.
That's right, the function of the command center is to coordinate the ninja armies of all parties to carry out joint operations. No one can expect the various forces on the defense line to abandon past grudges and complex interest disputes and work closely together to deal with the Ninja Alliance.
Without saying anything else, let's take a look at the various forces on the entire joint defense line. The border of the Land of Earth is guarded by the Iwagakure Ninja Army, the border of the Land of Fire is guarded by the Konoha Ninja Army, and the Land of Rain and a small area around it are a mixed coalition formed by the combat troops sent by various small ninja villages and the Land of Iron, together with the landlord Rain Ninja Village.
Among them, the Rain Ninjas of the Rain Country and the Samurai of the Iron Country are the main forces. The small ninja villages such as Yuguku, Takiguchi, and Kusagakure have all sent some troops to varying degrees. The grievances and hatreds between these various forces are enough to write a novel of 10 million words. It is naive to expect these various forces, which are entangled with countless grievances and hatreds and conflicts, to be able to cooperate closely to deal with foreign enemies. One has no idea how difficult it is.
Anyway, since the establishment of this joint defense line, there have been many conflicts between the various forces. Quarrels and even fights are not uncommon. And since the Iwagakure, Konoha Village and Rain Village are involved, it is guaranteed that no one will be killed or seriously injured, and other minor matters are ignored as much as possible.
For ninjas and even samurai, a life of blood and blade is by no means an exaggeration. They follow the rule that the strong are respected. Occasionally, if their subordinates quarrel or even fight with each other, in the eyes of the ninja commander, it can also allow them to vent some of the extreme emotions brought about by past grudges. Unless they go too far and seriously injure or even kill their opponents, getting beaten or suffering minor injuries is not something to be surprised about for the ninjas and samurai who are about to go to the battlefield.
As for the joint defense line, the commanders of the ninja armies of all parties must have sufficient judgment. In addition, facing the scorching pressure brought by the Ninja Alliance, they would communicate on daily situations in the command center in the past. There were also personnel from various forces stationed there to allow them to communicate with each other at any time. It can be said that there seems to be no problem on a daily basis. The joint defense line gives people the feeling that it is as solid as a rock.
Now, knowing that the Ninja Alliance launched a surprise attack on the Land of Lightning and the Cloud Village yesterday, the people of the Rain Village took the initiative to propose holding a discussion meeting today. Whether it was the Iwagakure or the Konoha Village, even other small forces, they all agreed!
"Commander Hatake, do you have the latest battle reports from the Land of Lightning and the Cloud Ninja Village?"
Looking at the commanders of various small ninja villages and the Land of Iron who had arrived one after another, the commander of the Iwagakure Village, Huang Tu, looked at Hatake Kakashi who was sitting opposite him. He moved his eyes slightly and took the initiative to start a conversation. He was ready to see what kind of experience this famous copy ninja who was replaced by Konoha Village as the defense commander a month ago had, and to collect more intelligence for his own ninja village by the way.
This is not to say that Huangtu regards Hatake Kakashi as an enemy. It is purely the influence of the wars between ninja villages in the past. It is very common for major ninja villages to collect intelligence on each other's strong opponents and even kill the opponent's geniuses. Now, at most, they are just collecting intelligence on each other!
"No, Commander Huang Tu, since we received information about the battle in the Land of Lightning yesterday, there is no more accurate information. On the contrary, the army of the Ninja Alliance is constantly mobilizing and testing outside our front line. It really makes us worry..."
In response to the probing move from the Iwagakure Village commander Huang Tu, Hatake Kakashi calmly rejected it and changed the topic to the opponent that they were most worried about at the moment.
The Land of Lightning is separated from the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. Unlike one or two small countries that serve as buffer zones, the joint defense line faces the troops of the Ninja Alliance directly. It can be said that the two sides have not had a major fight in recent years, but frictions often occur in private.
When Jiraiya transferred Kakashi Hatake to the position of commander of the Konohagakure ninja army on the united camp side, he originally wanted to refuse but to no avail. He and a group of newcomers from Konohagakure replaced the original commander of the ninja army and some people. Naturally, he had carefully understood the situation on the united defense line and understood how complicated this situation was. It can be said that there was both confrontation and trade with the Ninja Alliance, and ordinary ninjas would definitely not be able to handle it.
In the ninja world, it is very common to see ninjas who dare to risk their lives with ninja swords and kunai. In the Ninja World War, even a few-year-old child who has learned chakra refining for a year can go to the battlefield with kunai and blasting talismans. It is said that ninjas are very experienced in fighting, and there are many excellent commanders who command ninja teams to fight. However, ninjas who can understand the implications of politics, economy and military aspects and have some accomplishments in these are rare. They can be said to be rare animals N times rarer than pandas.
As for Hatake Kakashi himself, he was well-informed after all. He had experienced his father's suicide and the Third Ninja World War. With the reminder of his master Jiraiya, he naturally understood that in addition to guarding the joint defense line within the Fire Country, he had to do a good job of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance against the Ninja World Alliance, and secondly, he had to control the rampant smuggling caravans controlled by the nobles and even daimyo.
Even in Kakashi Hatake's own heart, he wanted to kill all those insects, but in reality he couldn't be so cruel. Even if he was already a high-ranking official in Konoha Village, offending the nobles and even daimyo of the entire Land of Fire would ruin his reputation and even make him a so-called traitor.
In this regard, after seeing his idolized father commit suicide because of a rumor that he gave up the mission for his companions, which spread in Konoha Village, Hatake Kakashi became extremely vigilant about dirty political struggles...
"The commander of the Rain Village, Nagato, and the Salamander Hanzo are here together!"
While Kakashi Hatake was chatting casually with Huang Tu, testing each other's thoughts and the ninja village's ideas about the war against the Land of Lightning, one of the commanders of other small ninja villages and the Iron Country samurai who were staying aside suddenly spoke.
There is no doubt that his words attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. Even Huang Tu, Hatake Kakashi, and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi and Uchiha Shisui who served as their guards, all looked at the opened door with serious expressions. The commanders of other small ninja villages, and even the Iron Country samurai who usually put on a cold face, all stood up and prepared to greet them.
There is no way. Perhaps if it is the Rain Country and the Rain Village, they are definitely not the opponents of the Iwagakure and the Konoha Village in a one-on-one fight. The Rain Village, which can be regarded as the ceiling of the small ninja villages in the ninja world, was inferior to the five major ninja villages in strength and status in the past. For example, if the Sand Village fights the Rain Village, it is hard to say whether it will end in a lose-lose situation. The leader of the Rain Village, the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, and the rising star Nagato who was brought to his side by "him", are also looked up to by other ninja villages.
He was the demigod of the ninja world who defeated the combined attack of three Kage-level strongmen of Konoha Village, and was given the name of "Three Ninjas" because of the strength of Konoha Village. He had fought against Kage-level strongmen from the three major ninja villages, namely, Iwagakure, Sand Village, and Konoha Village. It can be said that the fear of the five major ninja villages towards the Rain Village is mostly due to the former demigod Hanzo of Salamander, who won the respect of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world with his strength.
Looking at the entire ninja world, a ninja's strong strength does not necessarily mean that he has strong management skills, but it is very easy for a strong ninja to gain power and respect. Even in the Mist Village that was once in the blood mist, strong ninjas can live well!
"Everyone, I'm sorry I'm late because I just received a message!"
Amid the slightly aged voice of "Demi-god Salamander Hanzo", the Rain Ninja leader wearing a special respirator and protective clothing walked into the conference room, followed closely by Uzumaki Nagato who had dyed his hair black. Then the door of the conference room was closed again by the guards, and the mixed guards from various forces stood outside the conference room to prevent spies from the Ninja Alliance from stealing information.
At first glance, Uzumaki Nagato, who has recovered his health and is in disguise, is just a Rain Ninja commander following the "Demi-god Salamander Hanzo". Considering that "Demi-god Salamander Hanzo" is already very old, this is not a strange thing!
"You are so polite, Hanzo-sama!"
"We are waiting for the adults to arrive and prepare to discuss the current defense line..."
Compared to Kakashi Hatake and Huang Tu's nodding of understanding, and the smiling welcome of the samurai commander of the Land of Iron, the commanders of nearly ten other small ninja villages were all very enthusiastic, and almost nodded and bowed to show their humility.
It seems that the commanders of these small ninja villages have a very humble attitude, but in fact it is not a strange thing in the ninja world. The small ninja villages can survive the confrontation among the five major ninja villages, and their ability to adapt to the situation is first-class. Those small ninja villages that are so tough that they don't even care about the five major ninja villages have long become a historical term, such as the Sora Ninja Village that was destroyed by Konoha Village finding an excuse.
The former Sky Ninja Village was also intended to be recruited by the Konoha Village as a younger brother. However, the Sky Ninja Village, which was proud of its own strength, was unwilling to be a younger brother, so the Konoha Village found an excuse without hesitation and destroyed it. The other small ninja villages that were destroyed by the four major ninja villages were also unlucky ones who could not see the situation clearly or blocked the way.
No one really thinks that the five major ninja villages are vegetarian animals, right?
Even the Konoha Village had never shown mercy when it attacked the Sky Village, which posed a threat. For example, the Uzushi Village, which was a staunch ally of the Konoha Village, was targeted by the other three major ninja villages, and as a result, the Uzushi Village, which was not weak in strength, was destroyed by the three major ninja villages.
In the current ninja world, the Rain Village and those surviving small ninja villages are either considered difficult by the five major ninja villages, with the price they pay far outweighing the gains, or they have been weakened to the point of posing no threat at all. The Rain Village is naturally the former, and the nearly ten small ninja villages belong to the latter. As for these small ninja villages, it is natural that they try to curry favor with the Rain Village, vaguely regarding it as the leader, to ensure that they will not be abandoned in the war. At least they can safeguard the interests of themselves and other small ninja villages.
Under such circumstances, it goes without saying what the attitudes of other small ninja villages are towards the Rain Village. It's not that Uzumaki Nagato has never been interested in beauty. I'm afraid that other small ninja villages will consider using beauty traps to strengthen their relationship with the future leader of the Rain Village.
"Ahem, Mr. Hatake Kakashi, Mr. Huang Tu, and everyone else, before we start the meeting, I want to tell you something very important!"
After exchanging pleasantries with the commanders of the small ninja villages, the puppet of [Demi-God Salamander Hanzo] made by Li Mo himself walked directly to his seat without sitting down, coughed twice and greeted everyone in the conference room. Under the gazes of other ninja commanders, he said directly without changing his expression: "Can you please...become prisoners of the Ninja Alliance?"
Buzz~!
As soon as the puppet of [Demi-god Salamander Hanzo] uttered that sentence, Uzumaki Nagato had already activated the barrier technique he had prepared earlier, isolating the entire conference room in an instant. No matter how vigilant the guards outside were, it was useless.
Under normal circumstances, when Uzumaki Nagato's barrier technique was deployed, a group of powerful ninjas were trapped in this small space, which could be said to have turned it into a narrow bloody fighting cage. The conference room, which was no larger than one thousand square meters, was completely enough for the combined camp of these ninjas, who were at least special jonin and at most Kage-level strongmen and Jinchūriki, to surround and kill Uzumaki Nagato and [Demigod Salamander Hanzo].
Those ninjas who were stunned by the sudden change but reacted quickly were preparing to perform their own secret techniques and ninjutsu, but suddenly found that they could not mobilize their chakra at all. Even the Jinchūriki, Lao Shi, who had the Four-tailed Beast Son Goku, was unable to mobilize the tailed beast chakra that could easily control a battlefield in the past. Even the Four-tailed Beast Son Goku fell into a dazed state and was unable to run out and perform combat actions as a tailed beast.
There is no doubt that the inability to mobilize his own chakra directly destroyed more than 90% of the means of these ninjas in the conference room. In the past, they used chakra to perform ninjutsu, illusion or secret techniques. Even if Kakashi Hatake activated his transplanted [Sharingan], it still required chakra and the consumption was very large. If he had no chakra and relied on pure physical skills, it would be hard to say whether he could defeat the Chunin.
After all, ninjas also use chakra to amplify their physical skills. The only one who can truly use physical skills that do not rely on chakra power and can rival a jonin with just his own physical strength is probably the physical skills master Mike Kay. However, he is not here, and even if he were present, it would be difficult for him to defeat Nagato Uzumaki.
Seeing that the ninja commanders of the two major ninja villages and a group of small ninja villages were all lying down, Uzumaki Nagato took direct action to seal the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Shi first, and then Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, Huang Tu and others, and directly used special sealing techniques!
"Just now... it was a mixture of toxins that suppressed chakra and targeted the body..."
When Hatake Kakashi was captured by Uzumaki Nagato with a special seal, he seemed to have thought of something when he was limp all over. Looking at Uzumaki Nagato who was using a mixed sealing technique that sealed his chakra and mental power and turned him and others into ordinary people, he did not shout or even try to surrender like the commanders of other small ninja villages, but calmly expressed his own opinions.
"You guessed it right! So please just be my captive!"
In response to Hatake Kakashi's guess, Uzumaki Nagato, who had stabbed the United Front in the back, nodded in agreement. He was too lazy to talk to those idiots who were shouting "The Rain Village is going to betray the United Front" and "What on earth are you doing", but since Hatake Kakashi seemed to have guessed his methods, he still answered them.
The special toxin that even Kage-level strongmen and the Jinchūriki of the tailed beasts could not withstand was naturally applied for by Uzumaki Nagato to the Ninja World Alliance and personally prepared by Orochimaru, the head of the scientific research department. It was one of the results of his research on multiple experimental projects such as the connection between Jinchūriki and tailed beasts, the nature of tailed beasts and chakra experiments. The colorless and odorless mixed toxin was extremely expensive and easy to dissolve if prevented. However, when the unsuspecting ninja smelled the toxin, they became fish on the chopping board.
Even a Kage-level strongman like Uchiha Shisui who mastered the "Kotoamatsukami" move, or the Four-tailed Beast Jinchuriki, Lao Shi, would become a useless person at the mercy of others after being hit. Their ability to move was about the same as that of a ninety-year-old man with late-stage Parkinson's syndrome. Let alone getting up and performing ninjutsu to fight, it was a miracle for them to stand up on their own. However, facing Orochimaru's work, obviously no miracle happened.
Seeing that the commanders of the various ninja villages on the joint defense line had been captured, Uzumaki Nagato, who had been restraining himself for several years and wanted to stab these ninjas in the back and throw them into the garbage dump of history, directly said on the confidential communication channel:
"Well, Lord Orochimaru, we have succeeded here, please execute the battle plan!"
Chapter 75: Collapse of the War
Uzumaki Nagato's actions were naturally not his own willful actions. Instead, when Li Mo was making previous war arrangements, he had planned several different combat plans based on the estimated results of the attacks on the Kumo Village and the Land of Lightning.
As an extremely critical chess piece planted by Li Mo in the united camp, the Rain Village and Uzumaki Nagato had previously hidden well. The puppet [Hanzo of the Salamander] created by Li Mo, even if observed with eye techniques such as [Byakugan] and [Mangekyo Sharingan], or passively perceived with various perception ninjutsu, would be considered a real demigod in the ninja world.
Even Danzo Shimura, who had once cooperated with Salamander Hanzo, actually didn't know that the demigod Salamander Hanzo had been killed by Uzumaki Nagato long ago. He still thought that he was still in control of the Rain Village, which led to Li Mo's move to use the Rain Village as his own hidden chess piece.
During the past few years, one third of the people in Rain Village were replaced by ninjas trained by the Ninja Alliance. They cooperated with the Rain Ninjas who had long been subdued by Uzumaki Nagato, making Rain Village a loyal subordinate of the Ninja Alliance. Even other small ninja villages were given a lot of pawns. It can be said that the joint defense line carefully prepared by the united camp was just a joke in Li Mo's eyes.
It's not that the previous preparations were not complete, and the number of trained ninja soldiers and management talents was not enough. Li Mo had already taken over the Wind Country and the Sand Village, taking advantage of the weakest time of the remaining three countries and the three ninja villages to attack them while they were weak. However, Li Mo considered that the power he had cultivated was not strong enough, and with the support of strong strength, he was confident enough to endure temporarily. On the one hand, he gave priority to improving the strength of the Ninja World Alliance, and on the other hand, he was ready to start a war again at any time. Then, when he felt he was sure, he would naturally act without hesitation.
The Land of Lightning and the Cloud Village were easily conquered by him and his men. Now the remaining two major countries and two major ninja villages would certainly fight desperately. Li Mo naturally would not wait slowly for the other side to attack him, and directly agreed to the suggestion of activating Uzumaki Nagato and the Rain Village. Even Orochimaru in the desert war zone cooperated. The mixed toxin that even the Kage-level strongmen and the Jinchūriki were hit by was no ordinary stuff.
Especially Orochimaru, as the deputy commander of the desert war zone, he has obtained authorization from Li Mo and Ye Cang, and directly commanded a well-equipped ninja army of no more than 5,000 people. After receiving the news from Uzumaki Nagato, he quickly broke through the defense line of the Rain Country and then divided his troops into two groups to carry out a counter-encirclement.
At this time, the defense lines of the Fire Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom, which were closest to the Rain Kingdom, had already been attacked by the Ninja Alliance's ninja army. The Iwagakure and Konoha Village had never imagined that the enemy would actually attack them from behind!
………………
Boom——————!
Behind the joint defense line built by the Iwagakure, a number of chakra tanks that were as big as heavy tanks were roaring. The chakra cannons, which were cut down to beggar versions according to the characteristics of the tailed beast cannons, kept bombarding and formed a powerful artillery coverage.
If the people of the Cloud Ninja Village were lucky enough to see those chakra chariots, they would be amazed at the small size and great power of the chakra cannons on them. It was entirely based on the changes in the nature of fire-attributed chakra, simulating the transformation mode of the tailed beasts using the tailed beast cannons. Once a chakra cannon was fired, it could be compared to a senior ninja performing an A-level ultimate fire ninjutsu with all his strength, and it was not much less powerful than modern heavy artillery.
At least, there are not many ninjas in the ninja world who dare to say that they can ignore the attack of A-level ultimate ninjutsu. A fire chakra cannon can burn people into ashes within a radius of fifty meters. Rocks will directly turn into lava under such power, and steel may be burned into boiling molten steel. Even if the rock ninjas are good at building defenses with earth-based ninjutsu and can perform ninjutsu similar to earth escape to hide underground, they will still be very powerless against such a powerful attack.
Especially the defense line arranged by the Iwagakure, its main defense is the desert area of the original Wind Country. It is unlikely to set up any solid fortress in the rear... Under normal circumstances, who would guard against the rear direction of their own ninja village and the country where they are located? If it is not a battle between ninja villages, it is very easy to use sneak attack tactics to raid transport teams and key nodes from behind. In addition, there are many ninjas in the Iwagakure who are good at earth escape, so I am afraid that this decent rear warning defense line cannot be built.
As a result, when Orochimaru's assault force split into two groups and carried out a flanking attack, the Iwagakure Village could barely hold on by relying on the warning line. However, under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of chakra chariots, they could hardly hold on.
"Damn it! Those damn *%¥#% from the Rain Village... Where are our reinforcements?!"
In the underground shelter at the rear end of the Iwagakure's defense line, an elite jonin wearing an Iwagakure forehead protector disregarded all etiquette and cursed the betrayed Amegakure with the most vicious words he knew, and then shouted to his deputy.
There was no way out. He had bad interpersonal relationships with his colleagues in the past, so he was arranged to the rear guard line with the same treatment as exile, and he could not get involved in the lucrative logistics department. In the past, he nominally commanded 3,000 ninja troops scattered in dozens of rear guard strongholds and fortresses, but in reality he stayed in this key guard fortress. If the fortress was not equipped with barrier techniques and reinforced with earth-based ninjutsu, it would have been destroyed by the assault force at the first moment.
Now, after less than five minutes of artillery bombardment, this elite Rock Ninja, who had originally been thinking about making achievements, immediately threw his previous little thoughts to the winds and wished that reinforcements would arrive here immediately, otherwise the situation would be very bad!
"We have no reinforcements!"
Hearing his leader's shout, the special jonin who held the position of adjutant turned pale. He had just come out of the underground shelter, his face was covered in dust, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes. He answered the question of reinforcements that everyone present was most concerned about: "The people on the front line can't be withdrawn at all. Not only did the enemy bypass the Rain Village and surround it on both sides, but the enemies on the front line also invested a large number of weapons to attack. Lord Huangtu can't be contacted, so it's impossible to withdraw reinforcements..."
There is no doubt that the adjutant's words dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Rock Ninjas in the underground hideout. Even if they were very loyal to their own village, they would defend a line of defense until they died in battle. It would be nonsense to say that they would not harbor resentment. They were simply brainwashed and restricted by the village.
At least, when the Iwagakure was not defeated or occupied by the enemy, the Iwagakure ninjas, who had been instilled with the concept of loyalty by their own village since childhood, and the ninjas from other large ninja villages all had a relatively high degree of loyalty to the village. Unless they were controlled by others like the Mist Village and acted recklessly, or for other special reasons, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Iwagakure ninjas were still relatively outstanding. However, when these Iwagakure ninjas were completely unprepared for battle and encountered a surprise attack from the Ninja Alliance, the situation was not very good.
On the ground, the fortress barrier technique of the warning line set up by the Iwagakure Village collapsed after less than a minute. The remaining main body of the fortress had been bombarded into a lunar crater by the main guns of hundreds of chakra tanks. Even the soil and rocks on the ground had turned into semi-solidified magma. It seemed that most of the hundreds of Iwagakure garrisoned in this fortress had been killed or injured, and there was no hope at all.
Just ten minutes later, the first wave of Shinobi Alliance soldiers rushed into the ruins of the fortress. After suffering minor casualties, the Shinobi Alliance had captured this key fortress and declared the encirclement of the border ninja army in Iwagakure!
……
"Report! We have captured one-third of the strongholds held by the Iwagakure Ninja Army. Their rear defense lines have all been occupied by us. The enemy has retreated to underground fortresses and hideouts!"
"The Second Task Force has outflanked the rear of the Konoha Ninja Army's defense line and successfully occupied its rear hospital and logistics warehouse, killing and capturing more than 5,000 Konoha Ninjas. They are now preparing to cooperate with our ninja army on the front line to completely wipe out this Konoha Ninja Army!"
"Our casualties exceeded 200, and the number of injured exceeded 500..."
Three hours after the Iwagakure and Konohagakure were outflanked, suffered the indiscriminate main gun bombardment of the Chakra Tanks, and were attacked from both sides, Orochimaru, who was sitting safely in the command vehicle, heard the relevant battle reports compiled by the combat staff one after another.
There is no doubt that the united camp has declared the collapse of the war this time. Orochimaru, who had served as the commander of the Konohagakure and had a brilliant record, naturally did not anticipate the sudden defection of the Rain Village. Even those small ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom were caught off guard or defected. The Konohagakure and the Iwagakure, who had lost their commanders, were caught off guard. The originally established joint defense line had lost its meaning.
After all, the original significance of the joint defense line was to use the terrain advantages of desert areas and other places to block the Ninja Alliance's ninja army outside the core areas of the two major countries, so as to buy time for the two major ninja villages, the two major countries and a group of younger brothers to withdraw troops for reinforcement. For this reason, the joint camp has invested a lot of money in this joint defense line. For example, the first-line defense line guarded by the Iwagakure Ninja Army and the Konoha Ninja Army has a barrier that is enough to withstand the attack of more than a dozen tailed beast cannons, and various fortifications are also quite good.
The problem was, Li Mo was not stupid enough to just crash into that solid defense line. He first took down the Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning, and then used the same cleverness to target this joint defense line, allowing Uzumaki Nagato to kick out the commanders of all parties. Not only that, the defense line of the Rain Village was directly opened, and the Rain Ninja Army, which had captured their former brothers and allies, quickly changed their logos to the Ninja World Alliance and joined the assault force.
Even if the actual strength of the Iwagakure Ninja Army and the Konohagakure Ninja Army was slightly more than the assault force and feint force of the Ninja Alliance, the ninja armies of the two ninja villages were doomed by the assault force and without a commander. What's more, the Ninja Alliance had prepared hundreds of chakra chariots, and the large-scale artillery fire caused the ninja armies of the two major ninja villages to quickly collapse. Now, more than 10,000 people have been killed or captured.
For Orochimaru, he was not surprised by this kind of war scene. It was not even Li Mo who gave the order. He was just preparing to see how his creations performed. Staying in the laboratory to conduct various experiments was much more meaningful than dying in a war!
"Sir, Lord Nagato is here!"
While Orochimaru was listening to the staff's report, thinking about the data of his experimental project and estimating the battle situation while maintaining a certain degree of vigilance, a staff officer in formal attire carefully walked up to him, bowed respectfully and reported in a low voice, which made Orochimaru's pupils shrink for a moment, and then he nodded silently, indicating that he already knew about this matter.
As one of the super shadow-level strongmen in the Ninja Alliance, Orochimaru is still very interested in Uzumaki Nagato, but he cannot put him on the test bench for research. Also, they are colleagues, so he still has to work with him patiently!
"Master Orochimaru!"
Ten seconds later, Orochimaru, who had just walked out of the command vehicle, heard Uzumaki Nagato's very enthusiastic greeting. Then he looked up and saw Uzumaki Nagato, who was wearing a black robe with red clouds, standing not far away with several of his subordinates. He was smiling and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Nagato, you've already finished your work~!"
Seeing Uzumaki Nagato, who had removed the burden and became stronger because of taking off the [Rinnegan], Orochimaru, who had studied the [Rinnegan], looked at him with some admiration, and gave up his thoughts on studying the super-shadow-level Uzumaki Nagato, and then praised him with admiration: "You did a great job. Once the Konoha Ninja Army is declared destroyed, the Iwagakure Ninja Army will not be able to hold on for long. The outcome of this battle is already determined!"
As one of the former high-ranking officials of the Konohagakure, Orochimaru's mood was also inexplicably complicated when he said this. He already knew that with Uzumaki Nagato's personal intervention and the sudden betrayal of some pawns hidden in the Konohagakure army, the Konohagakure army had been completely eliminated by Uzumaki Nagato half an hour ago.
There is no doubt that the annihilation of tens of thousands of Konoha ninja soldiers would be a major event at any time. Judging from Orochimaru's own experience, except for the deaths of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, there has never been a case in which Konoha Village lost tens of thousands of ninjas at one time, which could have outweighed such a major event in terms of influence. Even if more than half of the Konoha ninjas were captured by Uzumaki Nagato, according to the ninja village's calculation method in war, the prisoners were also included in the ninja village's loss figures.
Konoha Village has the largest population and potential, but it doesn't mean that anyone who has practiced chakra refining techniques for a year or two can be a ninja. At most, they are just cannon fodder on the battlefield quickly trained by the ninja village. Real ninjas have at least been trained and screened out for several years. And the Konoha ninja army defending the border consists of at least half of the elite troops trained by Konoha Village in recent years, but now they have all been dealt with by Uzumaki Nagato.
As for the fact that there were still people resisting in the Iwagakure, it was not because their strength was stronger than that of the Konohagakure Ninja Army, but simply because Orochimaru himself did not take action, and even the several Kage-level strongmen assigned to him did not take action. Otherwise, the Iwagakure Ninja Army would not be able to resist the attack of such a lineup.
"Lord Orochimaru, it's my honor!"
Hearing Orochimaru's words of praise, Uzumaki Nagato responded seriously without being polite. He was particularly conspicuous standing there, with his red hair like flames stained with blood, but his whole body was filled with the awareness of changing the world.
For Uzumaki Nagato, after seeing the suffering of the civilians in the Rain Country and other countries in the Ninja World, and the tragic death of his good friend Yahiko, he already had the idea of changing all this. Moreover, the establishment of the Ninja Alliance and the existence of Li Mo prevented him from taking the overly extreme path of becoming a god. Instead, after stripping away Uchiha Madara's pair of [Reincarnation Eyes] and with the strong training of the Ninja Alliance, he successfully broke through to the powerful super-kage level.
Of course, Uzumaki Nagato would take the initiative to attack the Konoha Ninja Army. Besides the fact that he wanted to take action himself, the biggest reason was that Uzumaki Nagato's parents died at the hands of Konoha Ninjas. Now he was thinking of revenge and directly cleared out the Konoha border Ninja Army!
……
When the joint defense line collapsed completely, the Rain Village, under the command of Uzumaki Nagato, successfully backstabbed those small ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom. Even the Konohagakure Ninja Army was declared destroyed. Needless to say, the remaining Rock Ninja Army also died quickly.
