Chapter 602 The Battle of Mt. Miaomu (1)

Sand hidden, hospital.

After the last procedure of the operation, Chiyo walked out of the operating room with a careless and relaxed look on his old face.

"It's still as powerful as ever, Chiyo-sama, it's simply not old."

In the waiting room outside, the medical ninja who witnessed Chiyo performing the operation showed admiration.

Chiyo glanced at the medical ninja whom he admired lightly, and said in a slightly displeased tone: "If your skills can be improved, you won't be able to ask me, an old woman who has already retired."

The medical ninja choked and smiled embarrassingly.

"In addition, if you have this time to admire, you might as well study your own medical skills. Although advanced medical equipment has been introduced, some things cannot be replaced by machines. Because of this, every medical ninja is a unique treasure. You are too dependent on machines imported from abroad."

"yes."

The medical ninja lowered his head in shame.

As Chiyo said, they rely too much on so-called advanced equipment.

Because medical ninjas are different from ordinary doctors, they can use amazing medical ninjutsu. In many fields, as long as medical ninjutsu reaches a certain level, it is much more convenient and effective than machines.

However, humans have inertia, and ninjas are no exception. When there are convenient things that can replace them to a certain extent, they will naturally think about being lazy.

Therefore, even though the number of medical ninjas in Sand Hidden began to increase, compared with forces such as the kingdom of ghosts and Konoha, there has been no breakthrough in medical technology.

"It's up to you to listen or not to do it or not. I'm already an old woman with half a foot in the coffin. Even if you ask me in the future, I'm afraid the old woman will be helpless."

Chiyo's tone made no secret of his worries about Sagakushi's future.

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Sha who was staring blankly at the scene in the operating room through the glass wall.

"I have already extracted the poison in Gaara's body through surgery. Let him rest for a day or two and he will be fine. The poison of the boy Scorpion is getting more and more difficult. It seems that even if he is alone in the field these years, he has always been striving for perfection, strict demands on himself, and no time wasted."

Chiyo didn't know if it was luck or misfortune.

Fortunately, I got the news of my grandson. Unfortunately, the other party was the murderer of the third Kazekage that I had been obsessed with for a long time.

Judging from Luo Sha's description, the murderer who assassinated the third Kazekage more than ten years ago was none other than Scorpion. Moreover, Scorpion not only killed the third Kazekage, but also made it into a taboo human puppet, capable of performing various ninjutsu that the third Kazekage used during his lifetime.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Elder Chidai."

Luo Sha sighed.

"No, I'm already old, and I don't know how long I can last."

Chiyo shook her head.

As a seventy-year-old man, she has witnessed the rise and fall of Sand Yin for decades.

The only two thoughts in life now are the village and becoming a rebellious grandson.

The former is the goal of my life, while the latter is because of personal relationship.

"Elder, you will surely live a long life."

Luo Sha said.

"Admit what you say."

For Chiyo, living a long life is not a good thing, even though her current body is stronger than many young people.

But the passing of vitality still made her clearly feel the cruelty of time.

Although a medical ninja can regulate his own body, there is a limit after all.

"How do you plan to proceed with the next war?"

Chiyo asked this question.

She has also heard a little about the battle on the front line, but judging from the written report, the situation is not optimistic.

Although Sha Yin has not yet suffered a large-scale loss, it cannot make any further progress.

"This matter needs to be discussed before it can be concluded. Just now, Konoha's Hokage sent me a letter, hoping that we will not retreat and maintain the status quo of containing the ghost country."

Luo Sha replied.

Although he has been chasing Gaara these days, he is also paying close attention to the battle situation on the front line.

Saw Yin and the ninjas of the Oni Land were conducting a tentative attack with a small combat force, and the stalemate came to a tepid stalemate.

Although both have losses, Sha Yin's losses are even greater, but fortunately, these losses are within Luo Sha's tolerance range, so they won't hurt muscles or bones.

But the situation on the side of Konoha and Iwain is completely different. From a slight advantage in the early stage, it is completely in chaos at this moment.

Konoha's Jiraiya belongs to the unit, imprisoned in the eastern part of the bear country, unable to advance or retreat. Also because there were too many wounded, it was impossible to transfer from the position safely.

After Iwagakure was defeated on the front line, before he could regroup, Hyuga Ayane rushed to the territory of the land of land alone, and fought a one-man guerrilla battle. Although the loss was not large, it made the land of earth start to rage everywhere, and the nobles of the land of earth panicked.

Not only that, but with Hyuga Ayane's advance, the western border of the land of the land was also attacked by the support troops of the land of the ghosts. Two cities and more than ten villages and towns have been lost in a row, and they have been occupied by the ninjas of the land of the ghosts.

Presumably that Tsuchikage is feeling overwhelmed by this situation.

"The actions of the Demon Country are a bit strange, you should pay more attention. Also, don't trust the so-called alliance army too much, otherwise Kirigakure is the best example. It doesn't matter if there is a little loss in the war, but don't lose your old money like Konoha and Iwagakure."

Chiyo gave Luo Sha a piece of advice.

From the very beginning, she was contemptuous of the so-called Union Army.

The primary factor in the formation of the coalition army is unity of purpose, unity of will, and the ability to abandon previous suspicions and face the enemy in front of them together.

However, this time the Ninja Village Alliance Army of the four countries not only cannot unify their purpose and will, but also their past grievances have not been eliminated, so they cannot merge and completely concentrate their forces.

Because of past grievances, some internal personnel were not active in the battle, and had a serious rejection of the ninjas from other villages of the Alliance Army.

These things will not be displayed in literal data, but they are extremely realistic problems.

A plate of loose sand.

Wuyin is just a sign. At this time, what you need to ensure is not to win the war, but how to preserve your own strength as much as possible, lest the ghost country come to find a place after the war, and you have no strength to resist.

"I understand. I will seriously consider this matter."

Before the start of the war, he might not follow Chiyo's advice, but at this time, because of some problems with Kirigakure, there have been many trust problems within the alliance army. He had to think about a more realistic issuethat is, in this war, the kingdom of ghosts may not be defeated, and the odds of winning are getting bigger and bigger.

If this joint operation fails, the Kingdom of Ghosts will definitely liquidate all countries afterwards. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure that one's own strength is not lost to deal with subsequent crises.

Not words of discouragement, but fact.

The military strength of the ghost country and the ninja's ability to move made Luo Sha feel frightened every time the battle report came.

This reminded him of Konoha, who once had a superior performance in the Third Ninja World War. No, the current Demon Country is more terrifying than Konoha during the Third World War.

With one enemy four, the kingdom of ghosts may not be able to do it, but it is not difficult for the kingdom of ghosts to deal with two big Ninja villages at once.

As far as Luo Sha knows, there are still a considerable number of ninja troops in the Kingdom of Ghosts that have not been dispatched.

Just like their four villages, they also stationed quite a lot of ninja troops in the country, but not all of them went to the battlefield, in order to leave a way out for themselves and some confidence.

"Since there is nothing wrong with Gaara here, please ask Elder Chidai to take care of it. I need to rush to the front line as soon as possible."

Luo Sha glanced at Gaara in the operating room, nodded to Chiyo, and left the waiting room.

Without the important support of Gaara, Luo Sha is even more pessimistic about the next actions against the kingdom of ghosts.

He didn't expect to unite the forces of the four ninja villages, but none of them could put the ghost country into a desperate situation. Now they are the ones who are in a desperate situation.

To fight or not to fight has become a primary issue.

Continue to fight, how many troops will be invested to break through the defense line of the ghost country?

How much domestic power is left in the kingdom of ghosts?

Are the allies still trustworthy?

Not only that, but Konoha and Iwagakushi kept accusing Kirigakure of false information, and needed Kirigakure to give a reasonable statement and demand compensation.

While Kirigakure's Mizukage Yakura kept shirking responsibility, he gave the two villages a satisfactory answer by "abdicating Mizukage" and sincerely apologized to Hokage and Tukage.

This made Luo Sha feel very speechless. Is there any necessary connection between the abdication of Mizukage and making up for the loss of Konoha and Yanyin?

Allies who are suspicious and attacking each other have begun to make the alliance gradually fall apart.

Watching Luo Sha leave, Chiyo withdrew his gaze, gave an order here to leave enough Anbe Jonin, and left himself.

Bear Country, East.

As the fortress of Camp Konoha, most of the area was reduced to ruins.

The Konoha ninjas camped here seem to have become refugees, and most of them are ashamed.

More than that, before dawn, the air combat troops of the Ghost Country came to harass them on time. Although they were intercepted by Konoha's air troops, no actual losses were caused, but the noise made by the flying ninjas in the sky made every Konoha ninja feel nervous and unable to rest at ease.

In addition, these days, they have been fighting with the ninjas of the ghost country and encountering attacks, which makes many Konoha ninjas feel exhausted and sleepless day and night. Even though there is still enough food and water, many ninjas start to look haggard.

It is even more annoying to harass and attack the ninjas in the kingdom of ghosts.

However, the patrol troops and air troops, once they leave the camp too far away, always disappear, which makes them unable to figure out the deployment and action routes of the ninjas in the surrounding ghost country. The situation is in a state of passive counterattack from beginning to end.

Therefore, even those Konoha ninjas who have undergone strict spiritual training can no longer maintain an optimistic attitude towards the current battle situation.

Even the most stupid person can understand that if you continue here, there is only one dead end.

Must find the right time to break through.

As the buzzing and roaring in the sky receded, the air troops of the Oni Land evacuated from the vicinity of the fortress. Even though Konoha's air troops tried their best to intercept them, many places in the camp were still bombed and gas bombs were dropped.

This is a poisonous bomb tactic commonly used in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Because of the excellent military equipment of the ghost country, every ninja will wear a special gas mask to fight in the field covered by poisonous gas.

Fortunately, this poison has been cracked by Konoha, so that Konoha Ninja will not be in a hurry.

Compared with those, the food, living utensils and medical items in the camp are more worthy of attention.

"What's the matter, are you still unable to maintain a stable connection, Haiyi?"

In the communication room, several ninjas of the Yamanaka Clan jointly performed secret techniques, sat around in front of a device, and sorted out the Chakra signals of the surrounding troops to determine the movements of their own people and the enemy.

It is Kaiichi Yamanaka who is in charge of managing this place.

However, even as a well-known perception ninja in the ninja world, the corner of Haiyi's mouth could not help but bitter at this moment.

Facing Lu Jiu's question, Hai Yi shook his head helplessly and said:

"No, the surrounding chakra network is very chaotic, and it has been messed up by people. The area where the information can be kept normally is only three kilometers. Once this distance is exceeded, it will be interfered by the enemy's spell."

The distance of three kilometers does not seem short, but for a ninja, this distance can be reached in a moment.

"Can't you crack it with your ability?"

Lu Jiu frowned.

Haiyi is one of the best perception ninjas in Konoha. As a perception ninja, his ability is enough to rank in the forefront.

But in the end, he encountered an obstacle here, which caught Lu Jiu by surprise.

The prerequisite for the implementation of tactics is that the intelligence network can be laid out.

If the information is not complete, rush into the blind spot rashly, and it is easy to be annihilated by the enemy.

This is exactly the problem Lu Jiu encountered. If there is not enough information as a support, then the so-called tactics and strategies cannot be implemented, not to mention tearing a hole from here, and even breaking through becomes a luxury.

"Among the enemies, it seems that there are also quite powerful perception ninjas, most likely from the Uzumaki clan. Although the ninjas of this family are famous for their sealing techniques, they are also outstanding in the use of perception ninjutsu."

Hai sighed.

Ninjutsu that interferes with perception abilities, which often occurs in perception battles.

In the final analysis, the foundation of ninjutsu is chakra. Sensing ninjutsu is to spread one's own chakra to form a large-scale "line of sight" and expand the network field to capture the movement of surrounding things.

But since it is chakra, then only the chakra spilled out from the chaotic part can form effective interference.

Haiyi also has this ability. In past battles, he used this method more than once to counter the enemy's perception ninjutsu.

However, this time the opponent is different.

He vaguely learned through the chakra emitted that there are quite heavyweight perception ninjas among the enemies, and the number is also more than one. Each of them is an elite in the field of perception ninjutsu, and directly limits the perception ninja ninjutsu headed by him to a small area.

In war, vision is a very important link.

Lost vision, not to mention offense, even how to defend is a problem.

"Really? I didn't expect the situation to turn into this in just a few days... The kingdom of ghosts is really a terrible enemy."

Lu Jiu is well aware of how terrifying the enemy is, but now that he thinks about it, this prediction still seems a bit conservative.

The gun blade of this country is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

As for the alliance army, apart from its strength, the ghost country's advantage is almost crushing.

But with several frontal battlefield forces, even in terms of military strength, the alliance's advantage began to gradually lose.

Even if he continues to invest more troops, whether he can regain his advantage is still unknown to Lu Jiu.

Kirigakure's false report of the war situation made the ninjas on both sides of Konoha and Iwagakure angry. The hostility between the two villages now not only points to the country of ghosts, but also to Kirigakure.

The explanation given by Kirigakure is that Yakura intends to take the blame and resign and sincerely apologize in order to make up for the loss of Konoha and Iwagakure.

Lu Jiu couldn't blame him for being wise and protecting himself and Wuyin's strength.

But it was the lives of thousands of ninjas from Konoha and Iwagakure that were sacrificed for this, which also made Shikajiu deeply understand that Kirigakure is an unreliable ally.

In the next battle, Kirigakure could no longer count on it.

Then, the attitudes of Sha Yin and Yan Yin towards this war will inevitably change accordingly.

"Judging from the battle report transferred from Mt. Miaomu, the overall situation is indeed not optimistic. The alliance will inevitably fall apart. Kirigakure is no longer reliable, and what actions Iwagakure and Sandgakure will take next is impossible to speculate, but it is Jiraiysama. Is there any arrangement?"

haiyi asked Lu Jiu while maintaining the communication technique.

"Master Jiraiya is maintaining the security and order of the camp. The air force from the Ghost Country came to harass three times a day. Although the number of deaths is not many, the wounded and injured are gradually accumulating. The pressure on the wounded and medical treatment is increasing sharply every day."

Lu Jiu looked dignified.

The three times a day harassment tactics of the Oni Land do not focus on annihilating Konoha's vital force, but to expand the number of wounded Konoha ninjas in the camp, causing these wounded to become a drag on the entire army.

As time goes by, the number of wounded here will sooner or later exceed half.

By then, the situation will undoubtedly become more serious.

"It's really a vicious strategy. Are you planning to wipe out all the Konoha ninjas here? From the very beginning, this fortress was used to bury us as a trap."

hai smiled, but there was no smile in the smile, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

The kingdom of ghosts is now adopting harassment tactics, not focusing on the annihilation of living forces, which does not mean mercy, but that the time for annihilation has not yet come.

When the time comes, all the Konoha ninjas here are staying.

"Yes, the field of vision cannot be laid out, the number of wounded is still increasing, and the medical pressure is highly tense. There are fewer and fewer ninjas who can fight. As far as the chess game is concerned, we are already at a dead end here. If we want to make a living, we can only rely on external forces.

No matter how clever the brain is, Lu Jiu can only say such dejected words.

Information, the most important thing is intelligence, how many troops are deployed in the surrounding ghost country, and where are the specific positions. If you don't know these things, breaking through will make the Konoha ninjas here die faster.

Haiyi was about to continue speaking when the door was suddenly pushed open.

A Konoha ninja rushed in with a panicked expression.

"Mr. Lu Jiu, something is wrong!"

"What's up?"

Lu Jiu frowned.

"There are problems with the newly transported medical supplies. The wounds of the wounded who have been used have not only deteriorated further, but also many slightly injured people have directly become seriously injured!"

"What!?"

Whether it was Lu Jiu or Hai Yi, their expressions changed drastically when they heard the news. They couldn't believe that such a thing would happen in the camp.

Medical items, how could there be problems?

These things have been strictly inspected inside Konoha, and then transferred from Mount Miaomu and transported here. It stands to reason that such a thing is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, when the number of wounded was further expanded, Lu Jiu's face was pale. Thinking of the harassment tactics of the ghost country in the past few days, and the material warehouse destroyed by the ghost kingdom ninjas when they attacked the fortress that day, the bad premonition grew in his heart.

An absurd guess quickly formed in Lu Jiu's mind-there is an inner ghost in the Konoha Medical Department, and the level is very high, he can cover the sky with one hand in the medical department!

"I'm going to check this batch of medical supplies. In addition, send this news back to the village and report it to Master Hokage as soon as possible! Go!"

"yes!"

I have never seen such an urgent Shikahisa before. The Konoha ninja who reported was stunned for a moment, then hurried down and followed the instructions.

"Hai Yi, you are responsible for monitoring the surroundings, don't give the enemy an opportunity!"

Leaving this sentence behind, Lu Jiu hurriedly left with a pale expression.

"I will try my best."

hai smiled wryly, and wondered if Lu Jiu heard it. Since the Kingdom of Ghosts has also dispatched sophisticated sentient ninja troops, it is basically impossible to monitor each other's every move by capturing Chakra.

Land of Earth, West.

"Block them, don't let them advance half a step!"

Iwagakushi Jonin, with blood on his face, roared forward.

Endless flames sprayed from the front, and the earth was rolled over and over again to defend against the huge earth wall created by the enemy's armored artillery vehicles.

There are countless deep pits blasted by shells on the ground.

Like a steel machine pushed forward by a black torrent, the accompanying ninja troop of the Oni Nation also sprinted along, fighting desperately with the Iwagakure ninja.

The fire was burning in the night before dawn. Facing the aura of the kingdom of ghosts pushing everything flat, the Iwagakure ninja also showed a fierce will to fight, desperately resisting the advance of the mechanized troops.

However, for these Yanyin ninjas blocking the road, armored chariots made of steel sped forward all the way, firing shells, and plowing the earth wall blocking the road ahead.

Some rock ninjas had to create pits to stop the steel from advancing.

However, in this tough battle, the number of armored combat vehicles invested by the Ghost Kingdom is extremely large, and the accompanying ninjas are also escorting them to reset the sunken land to its original position, allowing the group of black steel to maintain a full-speed sprinting posture, and carry out terrifying fire suppression on the Iwagakure ninjas behind.

The artillery fire that poured into the sky, and then fell to the ground, like a brilliant meteor, finally sprayed fire and shock waves on the meteorite on the ground.

Crushing the blood-red and black-smoky ground, the white snowflakes on the road were dyed black and red.

Under this dense firepower coverage, as long as it is within the reach of the range, there seems to be no difference between the front and the rear.

Along the way, there are large pieces of armored vehicle parts that were destroyed. Strictly speaking, there are not many dead ninjas compared to a country.

But the destructive power caused by the ninja troops is extremely astonishing.

In the battlefield of thousands of people, within five kilometers, there are traces of fighting and fighting with the naked eye, and the potholes are one after another, as if they will continue endlessly.

When the first ray of dawn shines on the earth, the earth is already red and scorched black, and there is no one place that is intact.

When the track rolls, it makes a rumbling sound, spreads through the pits, and sweeps the battlefield slowly to see if there are any omissions.

The ninjas from the ghost country who accompanied them were also collecting the corpses of the enemy soldiers and cremating them together.

Except for the captives, there is not a single Iwagakure ninja standing up on this battlefield.

Either flee, or stay here forever.

The captured Iwagakure ninja, his face numb, seemed to have been greatly stimulated mentally.

Seeing the potholes on the battlefield and the broken body parts made them want to vomit.

Their eyes were full of bewilderment, as if they didn't know why this war was fought and what they were fighting for.

No one would care about little people like them.

"In this battle, a total of 302 people were killed, 210 were wounded, 1,100 enemies were wiped out, and more than 600 people were captured. They went further into the western region of the Land of Earth. Please report this battle report."

Junin who was in charge of commanding this battle, glanced at the statistics of the battle report, and said to a Chunin accompanying him.

"yes."

Take this data down and report to the headquarters.

After a while, the Jonin from the rest of the squadron gathered.

The Jonin who commanded them said: "The fourth, fifth, eighth, and ninth squadrons stay, and the rest of the squadrons continue to move forward! Set off immediately!"

"yes!"

The earth rumbled and began to vibrate.

Armored chariots full of battle marks rolled over pits, and their rolling tracks pushed forward tirelessly.

Junin wearing Chakra armor and accompanying ninjas ran to follow up and ate special Bingliang pills to recover their physical strength and Chakra.

The sound of neat running and the sound of mechanical crawling and rolling resounded in the boundless land, marching forward in the morning light.

Meanwhile, the misty valley.

The trees are verdant, the land is fertile, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere permeates the forest outside the valley, like a paradise.

Click!

The sound of tree branches breaking down sounded one after another in the quiet forest, overshadowing the sound of birdsong.

A figure in heavy armor and a gas mask sprinted through the forest, crossing the foggy area in front of him at high speed, and pointed his eyes directly at the valley that looked like a paradise on earth.

The frogs on the side of the road widened their eyes and croaked like a warning, anxious and panicked.
