Chapter 218 Pre-War Confrontation
December 18, 46th year of Konoha.
Ohnoki felt that he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up.
But when he looked at the time, he found that it was already past nine in the morning.
"Emergency?" Ohnoki asked the Anbu who woke him up.
"It's not urgent!" The Anbu said, "But the troops led by Minato Namikaze have already arrived at the city!"
Ohnoki was a little speechless, but this was indeed not an emergency, because he knew yesterday that the Minato army would definitely come today. It would not be strange if the Minato army came, but it would be strange if they didn't come.
"Take me to see!" Ohnoki put on his cloak and walked out of the office first.
Behind him, the Tsuchikage guards followed him consciously.
Although it is called the city, in fact, the Hidden Rock Village is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Minato's army is actually stationed at the foot of a mountain.
But the Hidden Rock Village has no city walls, and the mountains on all sides are the city walls of the Hidden Rock Village, so it is no problem to say that it is under the city.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Ohnoki looked down and frowned.
The Mizumon Army had a total of 8,000 people, but they were not concentrated together, but scattered widely, with continuous small tents occupying a large valley.
This camp layout directly shattered Ohnoki's idea of annihilating the entire army with a dust escape.
"Didn't they just arrive? Why are they setting up the camp?" Ohnoki asked.
"This" the Anbu was stunned for a moment and replied: "They did just arrive. As for why the camp was set up so quickly, maybe they used ninjutsu?"
Ohnoki was speechless. If it was a mud wall below, it would be fine, but it was clearly a tent!
What ninjutsu can create a tent?
And this is on the battlefield, the enemy is right in front of them, which ninja can be so bold as to waste chakra in front of the enemy?
Pillar/Tiger Taku: I am not talented, it is me.
"Go down and take a look!" Ohnoki observed for a long time, but because the distance was too far, he could not see anything.
"No, Lord Tsuchikage!" Before the Anbu spoke, the guard Akagi behind him was anxious.
"What are you afraid of!" Ohnoki said unhappily: "The enemy has already hit me in the face, don't I even have the courage to look at it?"
"This"
"Besides, I'm not that easy to kill!" Ohnoki said, flicking his sleeves and walking down the mountain road.
The Iwagakure Village chose to build the village here because it was surrounded by mountains and was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And this terrain did play a role in the war, just when the Kirigakure Village invaded Iwagakure.
After all, it is high above, and with this height difference, throwing a stone or a piece of wood can cause damage of B-level ninjutsu.
So Ohnoki can see Iwagakure ninjas carrying stones, cutting wood and piling them together along the way, ready to use in battle.
However, all the good things in the world cannot be taken by one person, and such terrain is not always good for Iwagakure.
At least rolling logs and rocks can only hit rookies, not high-end ninjas. Once a master rushes to the top of the mountain, the attacker will be the one looking down.
The second generation Tsuchikage Mu can also fly, so why can he fight to the death with the second generation Mizukage?
It was because he was rushed to the top of the mountain by the second generation Mizukage, and he saw the Hidden Rock Village behind him. Mu had no choice but to die with the second generation Mizukage.
Minato's speed is faster than the second generation Mizukage, and he can teleport. If no one is watching him, he will definitely rush to the top of the mountain.
Even if there is only one person to watch him, it is not enough. Even Ohnoki has no confidence to watch Minato.
So, he also found two helpers.
"Lao Zi, Han" Halfway up the mountain, Ohnoki saw two Jinchūriki who had just moved into the village from outside the village.
The four-tailed Jinchūriki Lao Zi, the five-tailed Jinchūriki Han.
"Lord Tsuchikage!" The two men saluted Ohnoki respectfully. Although the Jinchūriki of every village were not well received, the two from the Tsuchikage Village were actually okay.
The main reason was that the Four-Tailed Son Goku and the Five-Tailed King Mu were not hot-tempered tailed beasts, so even though their sealing skills were a little poor, and their physiques were not as good as Uzumaki, they could barely keep the tailed beasts from exploding.
"Well!" Ohnoki nodded and said, "You two, come down with me and take a look, and get to know your opponents!"
"Okay!" Lao Zi and Han nodded heavily, handed the work in their hands to others, and then followed Ohnoki down the mountain.
It was not very clear on the mountain before, but as the distance got closer, Ohnoki saw more and more details of the Konoha camp, and then he couldn't help but sigh.
Although the Konoha camp was in the valley, it was the highest point in the valley, which avoided the possibility of being washed away by a wave of water escape.
There are also two rivers near the Konoha camp, one passing through the camp and the other behind the camp, and the upper reaches of the rivers are all on the mountain behind Konoha.
This ensures that the source of the water flow will be controlled by Konoha, preventing the opponent from weakening the combat effectiveness by poisoning the river.
Going closer, Ohnoki even saw a shadowy cover covering the camp!
"Barrier?" Ohnoki's face darkened, this is too extravagant!
Barrier ninjutsu is generally a secret of a ninja village, and is only passed down from generation to generation by a few ninjas who know barrier ninjutsu.
In essence, the barrier of a ninja village is equivalent to the password to enter the village. What if too many people know the password?
Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Sand Village, because it is too poor and basically no one attacks, so there is no barrier ninja at all.
Everyone knows the role of the barrier, but no one has ever seen anyone send barrier ninjas to protect the camp. After all, if these ninjas get into trouble and their memories are read by the enemy, then the enemy can enter the ninja village through the barrier?
Needless to say, which is more important, the front-line camp or the ninja village!
But now, Konoha really sent barrier ninjas to the front line!
This makes many of the ninjutsu that Ohnoki intends to use ineffective, including Dust Release.
Of course, the barrier cannot block Dust Release, but it can weaken the power of a large part of Dust Release, and as long as the barrier blocks it for one or two seconds, it is enough for the ninja to dodge the attack distance.
"It's really tricky!" Ohnoki frowned and asked, "Have you found out where Konoha's supply line is?"
Although he knew that the opposite side was the coalition of Konoha and Sunagakure, Ohnoki still habitually called it Konoha.
"From Huangshi Mountain to here, we haven't seen Konoha's transport team!!" Anbu replied.
Huangshi Mountain is the area where Minato and Huangtu fought, which means that Konoha's logistics troops only went there at the farthest.
"So this troop in front of us is isolated?" Ohnoki asked.
"It seems so!" The Anbu nodded.
This is unreasonable. How can a troop not have a logistics troop!
Without a logistics troop, how can we cut off the supply!
So Ohnoki determined that this troop must also have a logistics troop, but they have enough supplies and do not need to be replenished for the time being.
But they will have to replenish sooner or later.
"Issuing an S-level mission to investigate the supply line of the Konoha Ninja Army!" Ohnoki said sternly.
"Yes!" The Anbu responded and then disappeared immediately.
Ohnoki turned his head again and was about to say something to the two Chuuriki, when he suddenly saw a group of people from the Konoha camp coming over.
The leader was wearing a white brocade robe, with long golden hair, a sunny smile and a chic step.
It was obvious that he was not just strolling around, because his direction was unbiased, that is, towards Ohnoki.
Ohnoki, who had already walked down the mountain but was hiding behind a boulder, also knew that he had been discovered.
This was normal. Everyone in the ninja world knew about the Hyuga clan's reconnaissance capabilities.
Since he had been discovered, Ohnoki did not hide anymore. He simply tidied up his clothes, jumped onto the boulder, and looked down at the Konoha group in front of him.
Namikaze Minato, who is the red-haired one? I don't know.
But looking at the way she was holding Minato's arm, she should be Minato's lover.
Behind him, there was a pineapple-headed, blonde, fat man. This should be the Ino-Shika-Cho clan. I didn't expect that this generation of Ino-Shika-Cho has also grown up!
Further back, there was Hinata, but why was there no forehead protector or headscarf on his forehead, and it was still smooth?
Hyuga clan?
The three people next to Hinata, Rasa, Kayura, and Yekura?
Ohnoki's face completely darkened.
Not only did he discover that there were more than just Minato on the other side, he also discovered that these geniuses were younger and stronger than each other.
Konoha was already full of talented people, and now there is a village called Sand Village.
On the other hand, I also value education, so why haven't we had any decent geniuses born?
It would be great if Minato was born in my Iwagakure Village. I would be willing to teach him everything!
