Chapter 376 Secret

The defense line of fire shrinks.

Since years ago, the ninja troop of the Nation of Fire, Daimyo Prefecture, led temporarily by Root, has been shrinking its front line.

This method of hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity made Nagato feel tricky.

But thinking of the leader behind the ninja force of the Daming Prefecture, Nagato was relieved.

Throughout Danzo's life, since the third generation of Hokage came to power, he has been a ninja in the dark.

Darkness, that is the field that the roots are most familiar with and also the best at.

Although Bai Jue was dispatched to investigate, but only the most peripheral news was detected.

The entire camp is surrounded by a special sensory barrier, and the defense is very tight. There are white-eyed ninjas monitoring day and night. Under such double insurance, Bai Jue can't sneak into the root station and investigate any useful information.

But shrinking the front line definitely does not mean that the Nation of Fire is afraid of Umegashi. Nagato is self-aware. Apart from him, there is nothing worthy of the Nation of Fire's attention in Umegashi now. Even himself, in the eyes of the other party, is just an insignificant role.

"This method of shrinking the front line seems to be saving something in the dark... Do you want to take down Yuyin in one go?"

In the tent of the camp, Nagato frowned and thought.

The stove next to it quietly radiated light and heat, which made the gloomy tent a little more bright and warm.

Normal war should deal a huge blow to the enemy with the smallest sacrifice.

During the Third Ninja World War, Konoha demonstrated the strategic miracle of individual tactics.

also proved the feasibility of such tactics.

Fourth Hokage, Yellow Flash, single-handedly reversed the unfavorable situation against Konoha in the third war, ended the battle with Iwagakure at the speed of light, and then quickly moved to Tang Country to meet the cloud hidden ninja troops, so that Yunyin also feared the name of Yellow Flash like a god.

The reason for this is that in these two battles, Yellow Flash won with speed, and at the least cost, won the victory for Konoha, and became the key figure for Konoha to win the third Ninja World War.

Cut off the supply line and harass individual soldiers, thereby restraining the main force on the front and preventing the main force from acting rashly.

This isn't a tactic unique to Yellow Flash,

During the Second Ninja World War, Konoha Hakuba Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Ruri, Hinata Ayane, and Chiba Shiraishi formed the Shiraiya team. Konoha has already mastered quite mature tactical and strategic experience for small elite forces to sabotage the enemy's rear.

Their harassment work in the enemy's rear even affected the positive balance of power between Ninja Village and Ninja Village, which made Sand Yin shrink back and dare not fight Konoha head-on.

However, due to Baiyan's powerful detection function, every encirclement and suppression was reversely annihilated by the Baifang team.

Thanks to this, the speed is faster than the yellow flash of the White Fang team, and it has become a master of this type of tactics.

As a result, Konoha's ninja sacrifice rate dropped significantly in the middle of the Third Ninja World War, which laid a solid foundation for the later battle with Yunyin.

According to this type of tactics, cutting off the supply line and harassing the enemy's rear with a small group of elite troops is what Konoha is best at.

It stands to reason that even if Konoha, who has accumulated so much experience, cannot reproduce the brilliant record of the White Fang team and Yellow Flash, he can rely on his previous experience to effectively attack Yuyin's power.

However, since the Kingdom of Ghosts officially intervened in the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Fire has been deliberately shrinking its defenses.

Although there are still ninja activities at the root, they are for gathering intelligence, not for cutting off the supplies behind Ugakure, and there are harassments behind enemy lines... The main task of the oil girl Ryoma who sneaked into Ugakure is still mainly to collect intelligence.

This led to a series of deployments made by Nagato years ago, all of which were miscalculated and wasted effort.

"Is it because of Chiba Shiraishi?"

Nagato thought.

It is true that Yellow Flash is dead, and so is Hatake Sakumo, but the other three members of White Fang's team are not dead.

Compared to the theoretical experience calculated by Konoha, Chiba Shiraishi, as a past personal experiencer, is obviously better than Konoha in these fields. Also know how to use such tactics and set traps.

Maybe it is because of this that the Fire Nation dare not reproduce this kind of tactics in the Rain Nation. First, the quality of ninjas in Daming Prefecture is not as good as Konoha, and second, because of Chiba Shiraishi, he is afraid of being counter-killed.

The involvement of the Kingdom of Ghosts has changed the overall strategy of the Kingdom of Fire. Nagato, who realized this, was somewhat depressed.

Then, Nagato is a little uncertain about what countermeasures Danzo will take next.

Compared with this veteran of the ninja world, his combat experience is still too immature.

Perhaps the overall situation is not inferior to the opponent, but when it comes to the details of the arrangement, in the eyes of experienced people, it is a frustrating move full of loopholes.

"Nagato."

Xiao Nan walked in from the outside, not wearing the Hongyun uniform of the Akatsuki organization, but a black hooded raincoat.

She took off the hat on her head, and her clothes were stained with rainwater.

"What's wrong? Is there any new news from Bai Jue?"

Nagato turned his head and asked.

"No. The emissary from the kingdom of ghosts has arrived. Do you want to meet?"

Nagato pondered for a moment, then agreed.

"It's okay to see it, let the messenger come in."

Xiao Nan nodded, turned and walked out.

When she returned again, she was followed by a young woman about twenty years old, wearing a rain-proof cape and bamboo hat like an ascetic monk, but from the collar and the bottom of the skirt that was not completely covered by the cape, it could be seen that she was a wandering witch from the kingdom of ghosts.

In the name of practicing medicine, spies from the Oni Land military spread all over the ninja world.

However, it's not the one from last time. Has the person in charge replaced it? Seeing that this wandering priestess is not the same person as the wandering priestess who was in charge of negotiating with him last time, Nagato secretly guessed in his heart.

"Lord Payne."

Yunyou Miko gave a slight salute to show her respect for Nagato, the leader of Ugakure.

"Come here at this time, do you have any new plans for the kingdom of ghosts?"

"Yes, there is a little problem on the Land of Waves side. Master Shiraishi is worried that it will affect the Land of Rain, so he specially asked me to come over to start a new cooperation with Your Excellency Payne."

The wandering witch brought such news.

Nagato's eyes fluctuated.

"The Land of Waves."

This is something he didn't pay much attention to.

Although he knew that there was also a small country stage where the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of fire wrestled, it was not his own country after all. In order to deal with the kingdom of fire, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the situation there for the time being, and only paid attention occasionally.

Looking at it now, the reason for the recent anomaly at the root is probably because the Fire Nation's countermeasures against the Wave Nation have changed, causing the situation here to change along with it.

"I probably understand the matter...but what is the new cooperation you are talking about?"

Nagato asked.

"I hope that Your Excellency Nagato will be able to select twenty Amane ninjas as soon as possible, and then we will give Your Excellency Payne a satisfactory answer."

"Twenty Yukakure ninjas?"

Nagato narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, we have recently developed a new batch of new bombs, which are far more powerful than the detonators used by ninjas, and can be mounted on flying ninjas. However, due to some operational problems, it takes two or three days of training time."

Yunyou Miko tells the truth.

After hearing this, Nagato remained expressionless. He stared at the wandering priestess for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes. Xiaonan, you take her to pick out twenty Ugashi ninjas, and those who have operated flying ninjas are given priority."

Yuyin Village also bought some of the flying ninjas developed by Oni Ninja, but because the number of purchases was small, only five, they were usually used to detect the enemy's situation, not to attack.

Because the assault capability is too weak, and the Nation of Fire has also purchased flying ninja equipment, Yuyin does not have the advantage in terms of quantity.

"plz follow me."

Xiaonan nodded, said something to Yunyou Miko, then turned and left.

Yunyou Miko gave a slight salute to Nagato, and left with Xiaonan.

The Land of Fire, Daming Mansion.

After receiving the letter from the Namiya daimyo, the Fire Nation daimyo showed a satisfied smile after reading the entire contents of the letter.

Recently, there have been frequent unfriendly news about the Nation of Fire, which made him, the famous name of the Nation of Fire, feel a little flustered. However, the situation is finally stable now.

The workers' and civilians' cooperatives in the Kingdom of Waves were sealed up in the official name of the Daming Mansion in the Kingdom of Waves. Although it intensified some dissatisfaction at the bottom, this method is simply necessary to appease the civilians at the bottom.

Next, as long as the granaries are opened a little bit and some grains are distributed for free, it will be enough to appease the resentment and dissatisfaction in the hearts of these civilians.

In the absence of deliberate guidance, the Fire Nation daimyo knew that these civilians were of no avail. Although these civilians are not troublesome when they are united, if there is a ghost country secretly seducing them, then the situation will be completely different.

The only thing he is worried about is that the Kingdom of Ghosts will infiltrate the people of the Kingdom of Waves too hard, and will then dominate the public opinion of the Kingdom of Waves, causing the Kingdom of Waves to fall into civil strife like the Kingdom of Rain.

The Land of Rain needs war and chaos, and the Land of Waves needs stability. This is the policy tone that was decided from the very beginning.

As long as the people at the bottom can be stabilized, no matter what the Kingdom of Ghosts does in the Kingdom of Bo, it will be useless. It is also impossible to pass through the Kingdom of Waves and pose a threat to the Kingdom of Fire.

This is not only the face of Yuguan Fire Nation, but also the frontier safety issue of Yuguan Fire Nation.

The Land of Waves is too close to the territory of the Land of Fire, which is equivalent to an important strategic location like an outpost. In any case, it is a strategic center that cannot be controlled by other countries.

Now it seems that the crisis of the Kingdom of Bo, which acts according to the will of the Nation of Fire, is temporarily lifted.

However, you can't be careless. The Kingdom of Ghosts, who has been pushed into such a hurry, will definitely not be willing to withdraw from the Kingdom of Waves like this, and will definitely take follow-up actions. What this follow-up action is, the fire country daimyo is still unknown. This is possible through political diplomacy, or military diplomacy.

Therefore, the fire country daimyo did not relax his monitoring of the ghost country's movements.

Facing this up-and-coming star who defeated the Allied Wind Country, he must pay 100% attention.

As long as I don't give the Kingdom of Ghosts anything to attack, no matter how well the Kingdom of Ghosts is on the international stage, it won't be able to shake the status of the Kingdom of Fire. The Kingdom of Thunder also has no possibility of ascending.

While attacking, we must also carry out strict defense.

"The matter of the Land of Waves has come to an end for the time being, and the daimyo of the Land of Waves will take care of it for us. Next, the issue of the Land of Rain."

Convened the important ministers directly under him, and the fire country daimyo held a high-level meeting in the castle tower.

The letters of the daimyo of the wave country, these important ministers have also read it, and are also satisfied with the actions of the wave country.

As long as they act according to their will, then if the country of ghosts is not given any chance to cause turmoil at the bottom of the country of waves, and the money and materials used to win over the civilians at the bottom of the country of waves, the country of ghosts will be in vain.

Although this can't hurt the ghost country, and it can't even lose the face of the ghost country, it is a good turning point.

The past few months have brought all kinds of bad information, and now they urgently need a remedy to restore their self-confidence as the leader of the five major powers.

"Regarding the Land of Rain, the ninja forces that have settled in the Land of Rain have been shrunk, and now there is only one time left before the action of a battle to determine the world."

A senior minister of the Fire Nation said.

"In other words, Danzo is fully prepared, right?"

The fire country daimyo covered half of his face with a folding fan, squinted his eyes, revealing a ray of light.

"Ninjas who have taken banned drugs have basically completed their training. Although there is no way to fight one against a hundred, one against twenty or thirty is still very easy for a ninja who has taken banned drugs. Even if the leader of Yuyin, Payne, has superpowers, he will be crushed by our ninja troops under absolute strength."

An important minister showed joy in his eyes.

Compared to the Kingdom of Waves, the Kingdom of Rain is obviously more worthy of their consideration of how to deal with the enemy.

If it was Yuyin Village before the Third Ninja World War, they would certainly not dare to do this.

Because Hanzo's deterrent power was still there at that time, Konoha had to rely on the power of Konoha to form a suppressive force on Yuyin Village, but this suppressive force could easily be broken by Yuyin Village. At that time, if there is a conflict with Yuyin Village, it is likely to reproduce the pattern of the Second Ninja World War, and it will be nothing in the end.

But today's Yuyin is no longer what it used to be. The quality and quantity of ninjas are very worrying. In addition, the domestic economic collapse, famine, refugees and other problems have not been effectively resolved. Without a stable environment, it is completely impossible for Yuyin to develop with peace of mind over the years and restore the peak power of Hanzo's rule.

This can't help but make them thank Orochimaru who has defected to Konoha. After all, he was the first to propose the strategy of framing Hanzo, and then implemented it together with Nemo.

Hanzo, the death of a large number of elites of Yuyin directly led to the rapid decline of Yuyin, and was once reduced to a vassal of Konoha.

A large amount of secret arts and resources have flowed into Konoha, and it is on the verge of destruction.

If it wasn't for the sacrifice of the fourth generation of Hokage later, Yun Yin saw the right time to make a comeback, so Konoha had to continue to fight Yun Yin, and Yu Yin was out of control again. Otherwise, Yuyin and the Land of Rain would already be in their pockets, and such a thing would never have happened, and the border of the Land of Fire would become very stable.

Therefore, whether it is the Kingdom of Ghosts, or the Kingdom of Thunder, the high-level executives of the Kingdom of Fire are very resentful.

These two countries, every time they sabotage their perfectly planned actions, they are like the natural opponents of the Kingdom of Fire, and they always like to give them a 'surprise' at critical moments.

"Late is changing, so as not to have long nights and dreams, send a letter to Danzang, let him solve the resistance forces organized by Yuyin in the Kingdom of Rain as soon as possible, there is no need to go around in circles with Yuyin again, and carry out the final general attack. Annihilate all enemies in one battle!"

The fire country daimyo closed the folding fan in his hand, and settled down with one hammer.

"yes."

The sun is shining brightly, and some of the frost and fog on the waters of the Wave Country have dissipated a lot. This calm day is very suitable for going to sea.

Fishing boats, large and small, leave from the coastal shore, bring fishing tools, and go to sea to salvage.

"Mr. Dazner, long time no see."

Dazna, who was carrying tools, arrived at the shore when a young man came over and greeted him.

"It's you, Kaisha. It's been a while. My precious grandson has been complaining about you at home recently, so why don't you go to play with him."

Dazna recognized the fisherman Kesha.

The other party is a foreigner who came to the country of Na with a dream in mind, but after these years of influence, he can be regarded as an out-and-out local of the country of Na. From the perspective of outsiders, he cannot be seen as a foreigner.

And because of his kindness, bravery, and charitable character, he is also quite famous in the local area.

The last time the gate of the coastal dam was damaged, the other party bravely withstood the pressure of the sea torrent and repaired it with the ninjas from the ghost country, which also left a deep impression on Dazna.

The most important thing is that he is also the savior of his grandson Yili.

If it weren't for the other party, Yili might have died at the bottom of the sea because of the mistakes of those brats.

If it becomes like that, both he and his daughter Tsunami may have a mental breakdown, not knowing how to live.

"No way, things are a bit busy recently. I will go and see Iraq in a few days."

Kesha scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"That's good. After I go back, I will talk to Yi there about it. By the way, there is one more thing."

Dazner suddenly remembered something.

"What's up?"

Seeing Dazna's mysterious look, Kesha tilted his head in doubt.

Dazna hooked his hands on Kaisha's shoulders, and his originally kind face suddenly became hideous and terrifying. He showed his sandbag-sized fists in front of Kaisha, and stared at Kaisha fiercely:

"You are approaching Yili, maybe you have some bad intentions for my daughter?"

"Uh... what are you talking about? Ms. Tsunami and I have only met a few times, how could I have any idea?"

Although Dazna's daughter Tsunami is a well-known beauty, there are not a few people who broke through the threshold of Dazner's family before they got married.

Even if the husband died later, many people went to ask for marriage.

However, Kaisha thinks that he is not the kind of man who can't walk after seeing a beautiful woman, and he has not thought about starting a family yet.

Because the housing prices in the Land of Waves have been too high in recent years.

He has to save for years to buy a house.

"You mean, my daughter is not very attractive? Can't attract your attention?"

After hearing this, Dazner's face seemed to be even more ferocious.

Kaisha swallowed his saliva, always feeling that the kindness of the old man in front of him is completely fake.

When it comes to the daughter, it becomes extremely scary.

"No, no, I mean, Ms. Tsunami is a charming housekeeper."

"After all, you still have unreasonable thoughts about my daughter, don't you?"

"...whatever you say, Mr. Dazner, I don't want to argue."

Kesha sighed helplessly.

Feeling that everything he said might be misunderstood by Dazna as having unreasonable thoughts about his daughter, he was very speechless.

Is this old man in charge of his daughter?

"Hey, Dazna, Kesha, the boat is about to sail, what are you doing there?"

In the distance, the worker Kiki's shouts came, telling Dazna and Kaisha to hurry over.

"Haha, it's okay, I'm having a good exchange of feelings with kid Kaisha."

Dazna laughed loudly and patted Kaisha on the shoulder. The ferocious expression just now completely lost its trace.

Kesa forced a smile on his face.

Really, what can the two men have to exchange feelings? People who don't know may think they have some special hobbies.

Even if you want to exchange feelings, you have to change to another woman, such as Ms. Tsunami...

Kaisha shook his head quickly, shaking off the dirty thoughts in his mind.

No, I am an upright man of the sea, and I can't think about other people's wives, although as a wife, Ms. Tsunami is very attractive.

"Okay, Kaisha, let's go there quickly. You are an expert in fishing, so I ask you to show your prowess this time."

As if all the previous threats were fake, Dazna and Kesha were chatting and laughing, and took him to gather with Keech's fishing team.

The sun was setting and it was about to sink to the other side of the sea.

The temperature of the air over the sea slowly dropped, and a freezing breath swept over.

Dazner's fishing team, because of the existence of Kaisha, a fishing expert, can be said to be full of rewards.

Looking at Kaisha who was surrounded by everyone in the center, Dazna just watched from a distance and showed a sincere smile.

Although he is a boy from abroad, he already has a lot of fame in the country of Wave, and many people even regard him as the main one. This detached charm can easily attract others to surround him.

If the other party is really able to combine with Tsunami because of Inari, after he leaves, Tsunami and Inari can be regarded as relying on.

But... Dazner felt that he was overthinking it.

A young man like Kaisha who can be favored by people wherever he goes, must be a hot seller.

Even Mr. Kaduo, the millionaire from the ghost country, loves Kaisha very much, and greets Kaisha more than once. How can such an excellent man like a widowed woman who is already married and has a child?

"Okay, today can be said to be a rewarding experience, let's go back quickly."

Worried that the pirates would come and wander, Keech told everyone to return to land quickly.

The rest of the people responded one after another, and at this moment, there was a burst of panicked shouts.

Everyone looked at Dazna's position, and saw the small one-person fishing boat he was driving suddenly spinning on the sea surface, and a huge vortex appeared there at some point, involving the fishing boat.

Affected by the vortex, Dazna swayed on the fishing boat, and couldn't even grasp the oars.

The bucket next to it was also overturned, and the fish in it jumped out of the bucket alive and kicked up and down on the fishing boat.

Soon, without giving Dazna a chance to ask for help, the vortex directly swallowed the people and the boat into the rapids, sinking Dazna and the boat to the bottom of the sea.

It happened so suddenly that no one could react.

"Mr. Dazner!"

Among the crowd, Kaisha was the first to react. Seeing Dazna being sucked into the bottom of the sea by the torrent vortex, he knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous Dazna would be, so he quickly jumped off the fishing boat, dived into the sea, and swam to the place where Dazna sank.

"Don't mess around, Kesha!"

The shouts of the people on the fishing boat were too late, and Kaisha could not be seen on the sea.

"Hey, Keech, what should we do?"

The rest became anxious.

The two top players, Kesha and Dazner, have disappeared, and Keech is their backbone.

"I, I don't know what to do."

Kiki was sweating profusely. It was the first time he encountered this situation, and he didn't know what to do.

In such a whirlpool, no matter how good the water quality is, it may be life-threatening.

Even if Kaisha is the best among them, the strength of human beings is still too small in the face of such a situation.

The wet cave, the sound of dripping water.

Dazna woke up Yoyo, stood up from the ground, looked at the surrounding environment, showing a dazed look.

"This is... where is this place?"

Unable to determine where this place is, Dazner only remembered being sucked into the vortex, and then fell unconscious.

I thought that the corpse would sink to the bottom of the sea, but I didn't expect to come to such a strange place.

Beside it, there is a puddle leading to the sea, surrounded by seamless rock walls, and in front of it is a dark cave that twists and turns leading to the depths.

However, looking at the candles burning around, it is clear that this place is inhabited, and there must be vents here.

Thinking to no avail, Dazna had no choice but to stand up, his wet body was very cold, and he sneezed directly, and the snot was about to come out.

Then, he slowly and carefully walked towards the cave.

It seems to have entered a dark world, even with candlelight shining, the place looks extremely gloomy.

Dazna swallowed his saliva, a little afraid of the environment here.

I had no choice but to lean on the wall and walk forward slowly.

Soon came to the end of the cave, and a door was blocked in front, with an iron lock hanging on it, and a keyhole for opening.

On the iron lock, there is also a family crest that Dazna feels familiar with.

"This emblem...isn't it a royal family emblem that only famous people can use?"

Dazna, who knew the result, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know where he was, it was obviously still in the area of the country of Waves, not a completely strange country.

Followed by doubts.

On the iron lock, why are the family crests of the great masters of the Land of Waves engraved?

Is there any connection between this cave and famous masters?

Dazna's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

I always feel that I have discovered something not so good by accident.

And this matter will have something to do with the most terrifying force in the Kingdom of Wavesthe great masters.

After Dazna realized this, he quickly turned his head, trying to escape from this place of right and wrong.

No matter what is hidden behind the door, it is not something that a foreman can control.

The best way to deal with it is to pretend that you don't know anything, and that you have never been here.

However, the moment he turned around, Dazna saw a icy knife light slashing towards his body.
