Chapter 303： A very different battlefield

"Kinoha's new three generations of Hokage (

Even if the detonating cannons have all lost their effect, and the continuous explosion suppression has disappeared, it does not mean that the situation of Iwakura Ninja has improved, or that it has indeed improved, but it has not improved much. Because, in order to annihilate the explosive guns on the battlefield, Iwakura Ninjas, including Shima, consumed a large amount of chakras, and it would be difficult to recover for a while. At this time, the Konoha Ninja in good condition had already approached.

From the beginning of the battle to the present, the Konoha ninjas of the front combat unit have almost no physical loss. They only need to send the talisman into the detonating cannon, and then manipulate the detonating talisman to fire it out. There is no simpler task than this. , You know, the Konoha ninja responsible for the two-wing assault has already paid a lot of casualties, and the remaining people have also lost a lot of Chakra.

With the participation of these new forces, the Rocky Ninjas will face a pressure different from the detonating cannon. In the face of the detonating talisman that is constantly projected, they only need to bury their heads and build the rock wall. However, Konoha ninjas will not only use such a single-board fighting method. They rushed to the front line with the squad as the basic unit. They climbed or collapsed or crumbling rock walls, and rushed to the Iwagaku ninja who was staying behind. .

Because the actions of Konoha Ninjas are more complicated, Iwakura Ninjas can't just repeat wall-building tasks with a single board. However, because of the previous continuous monotonous tasks, the response of Iwakura Ninjas is a bit slow, and the loss of physical strength also makes They can't make tactics that they have practiced many times in the past.

The only good thing is that because of the constant bombardment of the detonating cannons, the surrounding rock walls are collapsed, making the terrain here up and down, undulating, which gives the Yanyin ninjas a chance to breathe. You can take advantage of this. Terrain, relying on the soil to sneak to dodge or meet the enemy, but the pressure on the enemy is not very large.

Shima recovered from the joy of destroying the detonating cannon, and realized the current situation, and hurriedly issued orders to let the Iwakura ninjas shrink their defenses again, concentrate their strengths, stick to their positions, and at the same time, abandon the fortress strongholds they established in the wild. , To concentrate on remodeled towns.

With the current situation, it is no longer possible for the Iwakura Ninja to defeat the enemy in the wild. Instead of fighting the Konoha Ninja here, it is better to return to the town as soon as possible, where there are sufficient material reserves and strong defensive barriers. But it is much more complicated than the simple fortress built in the field, even if it is faced with the detonating gun again, it will not be without the strength to fight back.

Although it still seems to be giving way, Zhimo feels that this is the best way to preserve the vitality of the troops. Counting his achievements in destroying the detonating cannons, he will not be given a very serious punishment. At that time, he can still make up for it. With the new troops, once again challenged the Konoha Ninja Village.

In the next battle, the Yanyin ninjas retreated while fighting, using the chaotic terrain formed by the collapsed rock wall to greatly reduce their own casualties. Before they withdrew, they also used the earth to lay out a lot of obstacles to block the pursuit of Konoha Ninja, as long as there is a certain amount of time, they can use the retreat route set early to return to the town stronghold.

When Konoha Ninja solved the obstructing roadblock, the Iwagaku Ninjas were nowhere to be found, and the ninja did not find the enemy's trace. After confirming that it was not far away from the town that was rebuilt by Iwaguru Ninja, the commander in chief decided to stop. Moving forward is mainly to consolidate the current advancing turf. After all, the detonating cannons have all been damaged now. Without such a weapon that is convenient for attacking the city, Konoha Ninja has no confidence that they can easily break the town, not to mention the headquarters did not order them to break the town.

In fact, even if it loses all the detonating cannons, this Konoha ninja unit has already completed the mission in full. Almost all of the Iwayuki field defenses they were responsible for have been cleared. Although I don't know the situation in other places, based on the performance of Iwayuki Ninja today, other places will not be much better. In other words, the current Yanyin field defense line in this area has been swept away, and what remains is a stronghold in the town, which is equivalent to a soldier approaching the city.

It seems that Konoha ninja has a very big advantage and got very brilliant results, but the face of every Konoha ninja is not very optimistic. When cleaning up the battlefield, they deliberately counted the battle damages. Although Konoha Ninja's losses were less than those on the other side, Iwakura Ninja's casualties were not much.

The reason for this is that by being flexible with complex terrain, Iwakura Ninja greatly reduced its own losses, except for the initial shock by the detonating gun, plus the face-to-face confrontation with Konoha Ninja, the rest of the Iwakura Ninja The loss is really pitiful, and the more corpses are all samurai troops belonging to the land of the land.

For the current Ninja Village, the threat of the samurai army is far less than it used to be. Looking at the corpses of these warriors in the earth country, it makes people sigh that the age of the samurai seems to be completely over soon, except Beyond this, there is no extra feeling.

"It's really tragic." Asuna stood beside a collapsed rock wall, watching Konoha ninja who was responsible for tidying up and cleaning up the corpses below. The corpses crushed by the rocks looked terrible, and some of them were detonated by guns. The body that was bombed was mutilated, with blood everywhere.

This is the first time that Asuna has seen such a terrifying corpse. In the past battles, most of the corpses she saw were left. However, the battle with Iwakura Ninja Village was a completely different situation. It was with Yu. The battlefield of the Kingdom of the Kingdom is completely different, another level of battle.

Asuna suddenly felt a little sick. She didn't regret killing these enemies because they tried to invade their country and destroy their hometown. This alone was a mortal guilty. However, the tragic deaths of these people still caused Asuna's psychological discomfort. She turned her head hard, but the images of those people still appeared in her mind.

At this time, Asuna recalled the previous Iwagaki Ninja who would use an earth spear. His death was also very miserable, but what made Asuna even more concerned was that the obsession he showed before his death was not just completion. The belief in the mission had never been understood before, but now, Asuna vaguely felt that she had caught the other's thoughts.

If one's own companion died in such a miserable appearance, and it was caused by the enemy on the other side, then he might be hot-headed and rush to avenge him, even if it might violate the village's order. Asuna didn't know whether this idea was correct, whether it was really the obsession of that Yanyin Ninja, at least she felt that way.

Suddenly, someone patted Asuna's shoulder. Asuna shuddered all over, and quickly turned her head. He saw that he was standing behind Sakumo Hagi. His body just relaxed slightly and said, "It turned out to be Big Brother Sakumo."

"Are you okay, you don't seem to have a good complexion." Sakumo Hagaki asked. When Asuna just turned her head, her eyes had a different kind of emotion, which made him feel bad. .

"It's nothing, I just think..." Asuna glanced at the corpse that had been stored, now it was wrapped up, and she couldn't see the appearance, "War, it's really annoying."

Sakumo Hagiki noticed Asuna's eyes looking at the corpse, and his heart sank slightly. His fellow Tsunade was a new star in the medical department, and he was expected to become the leading medical ninja in the medical department. Naturally, she understood very well that she was concerned about ninjas. The subject of mental health, having said that, the proponent of this subject is Asuna’s father Masaki Fumori.

——Perhaps, the teacher realized a long time ago that for young ninjas, the psychological harm of war to them, if not properly guided, may affect their future lives.

Sakumo Hagiki looked at Asuna with a hint of pity. Asuna was only sixteen this year. As far as the ninja profession is concerned, she is no longer young, but in the eyes of his teacher, this is still something that needs attention. generation. You know, even Haaki Sakumo, who was in his twenties, was a little uncomfortable after witnessing the casualties caused by this battle, let alone the younger Asuna.

"Brother Shumo." Maki walked over at this time, her expression was also a little strange. For these young ninjas, especially women with relatively slender temperaments, they would have some psychology for such terrible corpses. Unwell, "The above tells you to go back and report the situation."

"Yes, I almost forgot." Hearing the words, Sakumo Hagaki remembered immediately, patted his head, and said to Asuna, "Asuna, don't care too much. Get a good night's sleep when you go back and fight. After so long, I must have been tired, Maki and Risa are the same, you all have a good rest."

After all, Sakumo Hagi is not a professional medical ninja, and he does not know how to give people psychological counseling. This is not a skill that everyone has mastered in the medical department. Naturally, he is a fighting ninja. He can only talk about it. He hurriedly said goodbye.

Now, the battles in other places have ended. As everyone expected, facing the sudden detonation of the cannon, the Iwakura Ninjas were obviously unable to deal with it. Almost all the defense lines in the field were pulled out by the Konoha Ninja, and they faced the Iwakura Ninja directly. The town to be defended, and the next battle must be re-planned. The first is to detail the mistakes committed in this battle. The senior Konoha ninja who is in charge of the field command must report and discuss it. This is wind. Mori Zhenghui's request, discuss with each other, find out their own shortcomings, and prevent repeating mistakes next time.

As the leader of the No. 1 Ninja Team, Sakumo Hagiki also wants to participate in this discussion. From his own perspective, he elaborated on the defense measures of Iwakura Ninjas and suggested ways to solve them. After he finishes his report , Is the speech of other people.

Generally speaking, the mistakes Konoha Ninja made are not too big, the most of which are the problems faced by new ninjas such as the detonator for the first time. Firstly, because the detonating gun has great destructive power and easy to operate, it is easy to make people feel slack, forgetting to cooperate with it, and play a greater role; second, the detonating gun is very expensive, and the detonating bullets it carries Almost facing the situation of insufficient supply, these are the main problems that arise when the detonator is used.

"After all, the detonator is just a weapon. We need to use it to increase our own power, not let it replace us." After everyone had finished reporting, Commander Inuzuka knocked on the table with a serious expression, "If it's too much Relying on it, it is easy to have flaws, and if you are not careful, you will be used by others, such as a detonator that has all broken down.

Although Shigeru Inuzuka didn't name his name, everyone knew who he was talking about. This incident is no longer a secret, because that was the only group that damaged all the detonated artillery. The commander suddenly fell into a cold sweat and looked embarrassed. Can't argue, after all, Inuzuka's statement is reasonable.

"After you go back, think hard about how to make the team and the use of the detonator to form a good cooperation, so that the two will not be out of touch. It seems that there is no big problem. At most, you can’t give your full strength. However, for the experienced Ninja, this kind of disconnection will become a huge loophole, understand?" Inuzuka Shigeru said.

"Yes." The Konoha ninja present immediately responded loudly, indicating that he understood.

Shigeru Inuzuka nodded and said, "As for the detonation talisman, I will write to the village and ask it to deliver new detonation talisman. During this time, don't attack the town. The main task is Consolidate the existing lines of defense, monitor the movements of Iwakura Ninja, collect intelligence, and provide a basis for formulating combat plans."

For this, everyone knew it well, although I had already heard of the reputation of Iwakura Ninjas who are good at defensive , but they were shocked the first time they faced it. This time, because of the detonating gun raid, significant results were obtained, but then it will not be so smooth. They have already tasted the difficulties they face in personal battle. The enemy is like a tortoise retracted into the shell, facing the outer shell again. Knock and hit, you won’t be able to break it for a while, and when you feel tired and want to rest, the other party suddenly stretches out your head and bites you. If there is a detonating cannon, this situation will be much better, but on the contrary The reserve of detonating bullets is far from enough, and it won’t take a long time for a real bombardment. It is impossible to gnaw away the indestructible town fortress in a short period of time.

"Master Shiger, I have a request." Said Shigeru Hagi, "I hope that people in the medical department can send people who are good at psychological counseling to the front line to ensure the mental health of their companions. The battle with the Iwayuki Ninja is too tragic. , So many companions have psychological discomfort."

Following the speech of Sakumo Hagiki, other people nodded one after another, indicating that this phenomenon also appeared in their own tribes. Seeing this, Shigeru Inuzuka couldn't help groaning. Old ninjas like him actually didn't understand this new thing. During the Warring States period, it was far more cruel than this kind of cruel thing. He had already adapted to it, or it was numb. At that time, he was licking each other's wounds with his companions, and has been alive all the time, but Feng Mori Zhenghui personally promoted this matter, and was in charge of the matter by Zhuan Xiaochun. He just let it go, but did not expect it to be really useful. time.

"I will apply to the village if the village agrees to this matter." Shigeru Inuzuka considered it again and again and planned to give it a try. Having said that, he heard that Tsunade had studied this subject specifically, and now Tsunade is When he went to the Eastern Front, he couldn't guarantee that the medical department had enough psychological mentors.
