Chapter 295: The Daimyo of the Wind Country Does Not Play by the Rules
During this period, it was snowing heavily in other places, but it was still the same in the Kingdom of Wind.
Even if it snowed, it would melt quickly. It was extremely hot during the day and suddenly cold at night.
The dreaded sandstorms blew from time to time, causing great trouble to Konoha's combat troops.
If you are not familiar with the terrain, once you encounter such a natural disaster, it is like bad luck.
After fighting back and forth, Konoha's ninjas would rather encounter the enemies of the Sand Village and fight with them than encounter such a natural disaster, and then hold their heads and look for places to hide.
Many teams died in confusion.
They did not die in the hands of the enemy, but were killed by the bad weather of the Kingdom of Wind.
The Sand Village is also good at using terrain to fight.
If we can't beat you in a head-on battle, then we will play dirty. Don't you, Orochimaru, like to play dirty?
Now it's our turn.
The cost and benefits of war are disproportionate.
Orochimaru has realized this problem.
The most rational thing to do is to stop the war immediately, because if we continue to fight, we will not get anything good.
Unfortunately, this is Orochimaru's personal idea, and the village's order is to continue fighting until the war is won.
Orochimaru has nothing to say about this. He has already won enough glory in this war, established enough prestige, and made enough contributions.
Whether the war stops or continues, it will not affect him.
Even if Konoha is defeated in the end, he, Orochimaru, will not be affected.
However, the Sand Village began to become wretched, which did make the war a little difficult to fight, and Konoha became timid.
Go straight in and worry about the retreat.
But the Sand Village did not cooperate in the face of the enemy.
Following the enemy around, it is easy to be tricked by the enemy and easy to be affected by bad weather.
"Interesting."
Staring at the map for a while, Orochimaru suddenly laughed out loud.
"Let the people from the logistics department come to see me."
"Yes, sir."
The ninja on duty hurried to the logistics department to find someone.
Soon, the person that Orochimaru wanted to see came.
"I need your logistics department to build such a windproof fortress in the Konoha combat area. Can you do it?"
Orochimaru picked up a simple blueprint. Although the blueprint was very simple, experienced people could tell at a glance what kind of fortress Orochimaru wanted.
"The fortress does not need to be too big or too strong. It is enough as long as it can allow our people to rest in it and resist low temperatures and wind and sand."
As the war entered the final stage, the biggest threat to Konoha ninjas was no longer the enemy, but the bad weather and frequent natural disasters in the Wind Country.
The person in the logistics department carefully looked at the blueprint, looked at it for a moment, and replied:
"Lord Orochimaru, it is not difficult to build such a fortress, and the materials are also simple. It only requires a group of ninjas who are good at earth escape to cooperate. But are these fortresses built on our positions?"
"If you don't build it on your own position, do you still want to build it in front of the enemy?"
Orochimaru made a joke.
As a result, the people in the logistics department were scared out of their wits.
This joke is not funny, at least the ninja in the logistics department can't laugh, because he is not sure whether Orochimaru is really joking or blaming him.
"Forget it, you go down."
Seeing that the other party was frightened, Orochimaru lost interest immediately.
Inexplicably, he began to miss the days when Jingyi was here. Among so many people in Konoha, only when he was with Jingyi did they get along best.
No need to care about identity, jokes can be made casually, and there is no need to worry that the other party will get angry.
You can also sit together to discuss some ninjutsu and so on.
What a pity.
He is the only one in the camp.
Orochimaru, who was not interested, looked up at the map, and raised his mouth slightly:
"Like to play dirty? What a coincidence, I like it too."
You Sand Village want to do something dirty?
Well, I will advance openly. Isn't the environment and weather bad?
There are frequent natural disasters from time to time.
Well, I will build fortresses directly. I will build them wherever Konoha fights. These simple fortresses are only enough for Konoha's ninjas to take a temporary rest.
Is the temperature difference between day and night too big?
It doesn't matter. Just go to the fortress to rest when you are tired.
Is a natural disaster coming?
It doesn't matter. Just rest in the fortress. In this kind of weather, the enemy has no ability to attack them. Rest at ease.
The fortress does not need to be too big. It just needs to be enough to accommodate six or seven people to rest. The more it is built, the better.
Anyway, it is just a temporary fortress, so we don't pursue too good quality.
As Orochimaru's order was issued, the people in the logistics department became active and began to run around the battlefield. So in the shortest time, a hexagonal fortress with a height of only two meters appeared on the battlefield.
With these fortresses, Konoha's ninjas fighting on the battlefield do not need to look for places to hide and rest at night.
Just go directly into the fortress to rest.
Even keeping people on guard duty is better than looking for places to rest everywhere.
They can still resist low temperatures, but they can't resist frequent sandstorms. However, with these fortresses, everything has changed.
As Orochimaru said, most ninjas can resist low and high temperatures. When facing terrible natural disasters, they can just hide in the fortress to rest. In this weather, it is difficult for the ninjas of the Sand Village to take the initiative to attack.
So the Sand Village found that Konoha's attack has become radical again.
After finding out all the truth, the Third Kazekage was silent for a long time.
At this moment, he admitted that Orochimaru had a talent for war.
As more and more fortresses appeared on the battlefield, the Third Kazekage knew that the Sand Ninja Village had no chance in this war.
Unless they continue to retreat back.
But, can they still withdraw?
Even if someone destroys these eyesores, Konoha can still be rebuilt quickly.
With the cooperation of the earth escape ninja, it is simply too easy.
Maybe the speed of your destruction can’t keep up with the speed of others’ construction.
How to play this?
If you fight, you can't fight, and if you retreat, you can't retreat.
How long can the village hold on?
As a Kazekage, the Third Kazekage is very aware of the current situation of the village, but he is unwilling to bow to Konoha and admit the failure of the war. This is the final bottom line, his bottom line, and the daimyo's bottom line.
Therefore, even if you can't hold on, you must persist.
Fortunately, after the fire country's daimyo had a bad start, the wind country's daimyo also became angry and began to provide a lot of assistance to Suna Ninja Village, allowing Suna Ninja Village to continue to persevere.
Otherwise, Suna Ninja Village would need to raise the white flag right after New Year's.
"So, Sarutobi Hiruzen, how long can you hold on?"
The Third Kazekage raised his head and looked in the direction of Konoha.
Sand Ninja Village was in a state of torment, holding back his breath and unwilling to bow his head.
Konoha wasn't much better.
At this critical moment, the Daimyo of the Country of Wind has given certain support to Sand Ninja Village. Will the Daimyo of the Country of Fire give support to Konoha?
I'm afraid I'll be lucky if I don't hold back.
Since you Konoha people can't invade the Kingdom of Wind on a large scale, then just waste it.
The Suna Ninja Village resisted tenaciously, and Konoha gritted its teeth and persisted in the attack.
As time went by, the problem was placed in front of the Third Hokage.
Konoha was fighting step by step, pushing the battle line towards the interior of the Kingdom of Wind little by little, but Suna Ninja Village kept gritting its teeth and refused to give up, resisting, but did not give up the war.
On the bright side, Konoha still has the upper hand and continues to expand its advantages.
But regarding his own family's affairs, the Third Hokage knew in his heart that if he pushed forward the war like this, Konoha would lose blood.
When he learned that the daimyo of the Land of Wind had begun to provide aid to the Sand Ninja Village, the Third Hokage's mentality collapsed.
Why! !
You didn't help earlier, you didn't help later, but you just didn't help when Konoha was about to win and when Suna Ninja Village was about to be unable to bear it.
Isn’t this intentional nonsense? !
The Third Hokage, who never showed his inner emotions, angrily tore the information to pieces.
