If Sand Village is a headache, then Rain Village makes it difficult for Konoha to start.

The ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village have nothing commendable about them except that they have the advantage of time and place that allows them to better adapt to the environment of the Rain Country.

In a head-on fight, the Konoha ninja with better quality can replace two opponents with one.

But...they really have no way to deal with the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo the Salamander who is hailed as a demigod!

He was a truly powerful man, and was also skilled in large-scale poison attacks, making him extremely difficult to deal with.

Orochimaru once calculated that even if he, Tsunade and Jiraiya attacked him together, they might not be able to defeat him.

We have to add Hatake Sakumo to barely fight the opponent on equal terms.

This time, the ultimate goal of Konoha's counterattack plan built with Luo Cheng as the core is to capture Salamander Hanzo by surprise!

But this is not an easy task, so before dealing with the salamander, they still have to verify whether the preset tactics are effective through actual combat.

For this reason, Hatake Sakumo, who is good at assassination, returned from the front line and began tacit understanding training with Luo Cheng.

After finishing the last operation of the day, Tsunade dragged her tired body to the training ground. When she saw everything going on in the training, she felt that her fatigue was relieved a little.

Two or three Konoha ninjas who had passed the "political review" and were absolutely trustworthy and could not be spies were chopped down by Hatake Sakumo with wooden swords as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

These people ranged in strength from jonin to special jonin to chunin, but there was no difference in the results they received under Hatake Sakumo.

One cut in one second!

Logically speaking, this situation should not happen. It is okay for Chunin and Special Jonin. Everyone who gets the title of Jonin is an absolute elite among ninjas. At the very least, they should be able to deal with a senior elite Jonin like Hatake Sakumo.

The only reason for this behavior now is...

Luo Cheng, who was hiding in a corner of the training ground, walked out of the bunker and put down his hands that had been in seals.

"How was it?" Seeing that they had finished their sparring, Tsunade walked forward.

Hatake Sakumo knew what Tsunade was asking: "Everything is going well. We will adjust our status tomorrow and be able to take action the day after tomorrow."

Over the years, Hatake Sakumo has been carrying out missions alone most of the time, and has not been with other people very often.

Because as his strength continues to grow, fewer and fewer people can keep up with his pace. He will only choose to act with his teammates for those tasks that require cooperation of multiple people.

To be honest, these two days were the most comfortable days he had felt in the past few years.

In the past, no one had ever been able to cooperate with me so perfectly!

But behind the comfort, Hatake Sakumo also felt a little creepy.

because.

Just like when you feel that a person is humorous, interesting, can respond to any topic, and is cheerful and generous, it often means that the person sitting opposite you is superior to you in IQ, EQ, wisdom and experience, and all your every move is within his expectations and ability to bear!

The same goes for cooperation in combat.

With perfect coordination, he can reap a life with a casual swing of the knife. The other side of this pleasant feeling is that every step he takes, every step of the enemy's actions, are all within the calculation range of this child!

Everyone seems to be acting freely, but in fact, they are puppets in his script!

Hatake Sakumo looked at Luo Cheng deeply, but said nothing.

The war had been going on for four years, and he had not been home properly for four years. He only visited his family briefly and stayed for a few nights when he was on a mission back to the village.

He wanted to spend more time with Kakashi, who was still a toddler, and didn't want to continue killing and experiencing the death of his companions in this humid battlefield.

How many four years do we have in our life?

Even a steel knife will eventually be unable to bear the weight after constant torture.

An ordinary ninja could retreat, but a ninja like him who was the backbone of the entire battlefield could only hold on.

For Konoha, he who possesses the Will of Fire is willing to hold on, but if he can end it all early...

Hatake Sakumo chose not to mention Luo Cheng's 'abnormality'.

He believed that Orochimaru, Tsunade, who were the direct disciples of the third generation, and even Jiraiya who had only visited once or twice, could all see that this child was unusual.

But no one said a word.

Then there is no need for me to say more.

"Okay!" Hearing that they could take action the day after tomorrow, Tsunade nodded with satisfaction, and the fatigue in the corners of her eyes disappeared for the most part.

If you want to end the war in the Rain Country, you must defeat Hanzo, but Hanzo the Salamander is too powerful.

If we start with Hanzo and fail, things will get into an even more irreversible predicament.

So according to the plan, they will use Sunagakure to see some blood first!

As long as Luo Cheng can cooperate well with Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru, take advantage of their unpreparedness, and give Sunagakure a ruthless blow, killing several high-level fighters there, the battle situation will be extremely favorable for Konoha.

He then adopted the tactic of defeating them one by one and attacked Yuyin Hanzo.

Even if it fails at that time, at least Konoha will not be in the situation of being attacked from all sides in the Rain Country.

Unless the Sand Village is half-crippled, new ones from the five major national villages will come out and challenge Konoha.

"You guys have a good rest, I'll prepare some medicine for you. The old guy Chiyo's poison is very sinister, I'll give you something special." Tsunade, who was forcing herself to be alert, said to the two people, one big and one small, in front of her.

In the ninja world, there are many unique products. Some of them, after special preparation, can become potions that can detoxify most toxins in the world, or life-saving potions.

Unfortunately, because the ingredients are too precious, even with Tsunade's wealth, it would be painful to mix a few bottles.

Most ordinary ninjas, even the jonin, cannot afford it.

It has no promotional significance.

This time the situation is special, Tsunade decided to pay out of pocket.

Even if it is not used in the fight against Sand Village this time, Hanzo is a poison user, and it will most likely be used when fighting against Salamander Hanzo.

.

.

.

On the third day, Luo Cheng, who had been transformed, arrived at the front line again.

A month or two ago, he was still a blind and weak child, and any Chunin could ask for his nickname with a kunai.

At this moment, he will participate in the counterattack against Sand Village as the strategic core of the entire war! !

It's strange, why does this cold feel so bad, the fever is gone but I keep coughing and feeling dizzy... It's amazing_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 5 The decisive battle!

The climate in the ninja world is very strange. It might be more appropriate to describe it in one sentence.

That is……

Drought will kill you, and floods will kill you!

The Land of Wind, located in the southwest of the Ninja Realm, has yellow sand all day long, a lack of arable land, and a desert climate in most areas. However, the Land of Rain, which is closely adjacent to it, has two rains a year, one in the second half of the year.

Because of the almost never-ending rainy season, even if there is land, it has no value in farming.

The Earth Kingdom in the northwest is a little better than the Wind Kingdom, but not much.

Of the five major countries in the ninja world, only the Land of Fire, with its fertile land and abundant oil, and the Land of Lightning, which has many mountains but a well-developed animal husbandry, can provide most of its citizens with enough food.

"Can we win..."

"Will win..."

Such conversations have frequently occurred in the Sand Village camp recently.

Four years of war had made Konoha suffer a lot. Even for Konoha's wealthy country, it was too much to endure the quagmire of war.

What's more, due to the uneven economic development, the Wind Kingdom and the Sand Country are already extremely poor and are preparing to overturn the table to redistribute the benefits in order to gain a breathing space.

Four years of war have almost wiped out their entire generation!

But let alone the original plan to bite off a piece of fertile land from the Fire Country to alleviate the food and economic difficulties of the Wind Country, it is now a difficult task for the Sand Village to maintain morale.

They began to doubt the significance of this war and the significance of the sacrifices of their comrades who had died in the past four years.

They are confused about the way forward and can only keep comforting themselves.

Will win!

Looking at the lights still on in the central tent, Chiyo who was preparing the new poison, and Ebina who was reviewing the strategic plan, there were still people who had not given up, and they would not give up!

In addition to being a ninja, you must obey orders and complete missions.

There is another pillar supporting them.

That is... I don't accept it!

They are not convinced! Why do you think the best land in the world belongs to the Fire Nation?

Are the people from the Wind Country only fit to eat sand in the wind?

In the past, you had the two great ninja gods, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, to keep you in check, so you had to hold back your anger.

But now Madara is dead, and Hashirama Senju is dead too.

If you guys continue to take advantage of so many things, isn't that a bit... inappropriate?!

This is a war caused by uneven development.

To end it, one must either find a new balance or, like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, suppress all disobedience with absolute violence.

Otherwise... we will have to wait until we are all exhausted and no one can fight anymore before we can take a temporary break.

Yes, it's halftime, the core conflict has not been resolved, and even if there is a ceasefire, it is just preparing for the next war. True peace will never come!

Those soldier ninjas who are filling the front lines may not feel anything about this.

But the top leaders of the various hidden villages all see this very clearly.

But what’s the use of seeing it clearly?

The fight should still be fought.

Just like in interpersonal relationships, many people know that if you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon.

but……

Why do I have to retreat?!

Can't you just sacrifice your own interests and step back?

As individuals, they can think rationally and make decisions by giving up their interests.

But it is difficult for a country to take this step back.

Because the country is not decided by one person!

All they can do is fight, and fight continuously.

After waking up groggily from a dream, the Sand Village, which was accustomed to the desert climate, felt excited when it first came to the Rain Country and saw the never-ending drizzle.

After all, in the desert, every drop of water is precious.

But within a few days, the hot and humid hell experience would make them very uncomfortable. If it were not for the power of chakra, there would probably be a lot of non-combat casualties on the spot.

"This again..." He took the ration pill from the quartermaster.

Bingliang Pills can quickly replenish physical strength and restore chakra, but long-term consumption will cause great harm to the body.

"It's good to have something to eat." The quartermaster said coldly.

It's not that they have any objections to the ninjas who receive the supplies, but many poor people in the rear are barely able to afford food because of years of war, cut off trade routes, and increased taxes.

It is now difficult to even find a cactus in the desert.

In the past, the Kingdom of Wind could trade the rare treasures in the desert with merchants from the Kingdom of Fire. Although most of the profits would be taken away by the merchants from the Kingdom of Fire, at least they could harvest a lot of food.

As the two countries entered a warring relationship, private business activities began to plummet.

It was fine in the first two years, as everyone still had some emergency food stored in the past, but now...

"Oh, if only the war could be won." After stuffing the food pill into his mouth, his stomach and intestines, which had not properly digested food for a long time, had begun to degenerate in function. Feeling his physical strength gradually replenished, the Sand Ninja turned and left.

There was a raid on the Konoha front today, and he was one of the people on the mission.
