Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world
Chapter 18 Chase and Escape
Hatake Sakumo thought for a long time and finally made a decision, "I declare that the mission of gathering intelligence has been completed. Shigeo and Hondou will return first and report the intelligence they have obtained to the Nara clan in the camp. The ninjas of the Nara clan will decide on a new war plan. Mogo and I will send you back first, and then stay on the west bank and wait for an opportunity to act!"
Hondou looked embarrassed, "Captain Sakumo, but..." Inuzuka Shigeo interrupted Hondou, "A ninja's first priority is to complete the mission, everything else comes second!"
Hatake Sakumo nodded, acknowledging Inuzuka Shigeo's words, and then leaned against a tree and wrote a letter, asking the master to take it back. The four of them returned to the river bank. No one spoke along the way, and everyone was in a heavy mood!
Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo hid in the trees by the river, silently watching the backs of Shigeo and Hondou going away in the river, until they crossed the river and reached the east bank. Hatake Sakumo sighed, "I guess after daybreak, the people of Sand Village will find out that a patrol team of Jonin is missing.
At that time, they might guess that we crossed the river to attack them, and then found out some information from them, such as that they had learned that the news that the Third Hokage had left River Country had been leaked.
So we have to make it look like this is just an active harassment mission to attract their attention! I have already written a short letter, suggesting that Nara send a large-scale elite team across the river to harass us!"
Mo Congfeng thought about it for a while and understood what Hatake Sakumo meant. The first layer of intelligence was that the Third Hokage had left the Kingdom of Rivers;
The second level of intelligence is that the core leaders of Sand Village already know that the Third Hokage has left River Country;
The third level of intelligence is that Hatake Sakumo and his group, or the Nara clan in the camp, have already learned that the core leaders of the Sand Village have already known that the Third Hokage has left River Country.
So what we need to do now is to prevent the fourth level of intelligence from happening, take the initiative to attack, and create the illusion that we are unaware of the enemy's second level of intelligence.
"Well, yes, we knew nothing. We were just crossing the river to harass them. We happened to meet a group of Jonin from the Sand Village and then we wiped them out. The purpose of our doing this was simply to cover up the fact that the Third Hokage had left the River Country. We were bluffing and intimidating them!" Mo Congfeng tried to express his guess!
"Yes, that's right. That's why we have to make a bigger noise, create doubts in the enemy's mind, and buy time for the Nara clan to use their wisdom!" Hatake Sakumo smiled knowingly.
That night, Mo Congfeng followed Hatake Sakumo and attacked patrol teams several times, killing many ninjas, but deliberately did not wipe them out completely, which finally alerted the main force of the Sand Village. As soon as the sky was bright, Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo were chased by multiple enemies. At first, they could handle it easily, occasionally killing the enemies who were chasing them, and always stayed at the edge of the woods on the west bank of the river, ready to leave the battle and return to the east bank of the river at any time.
Standing on the treetop near the river, Mo Congfeng saw with his own eyes that the Konoha ninjas on the east bank of the river began a small-scale assault on the Sand Village ninjas on the west bank after daybreak, trying to cooperate with Hatake Sakumo and the other two. At first, the Sand Village ninjas on the west bank showed some panic.
But after a brief panic, the core leaders of the Sand Village showed that they were well prepared. The Sand Village ninjas successfully stopped the Konoha ninjas on the west bank and attacked them fiercely on the unobstructed river surface. The Konoha ninjas were quickly forced back to the east bank!
In the next few days, masters from the Sand Village also appeared one after another and participated in the pursuit and interception of Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo. The situation deteriorated rapidly, and finally the two were gradually forced away from the west bank of the river. The two had no choice but to hide deep in the woods, getting farther and farther away from the river, and gradually losing the favorable conditions to return to the east bank of the river at any time!
A large number of puppet ninjas will release a large number of puppets once they encounter them, spraying highly corrosive poisonous smoke and venom. It can be said that this is the opponent that Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo are most reluctant to encounter;
A powerful ninja who can use "Wind Style: Kamaitachi", who combines the ability of large-scale reconnaissance and search for enemies with the ability of large-scale destruction. He has a very strong alert ability and cannot be attacked by sneak attacks. Once Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo encounter him, it will be extremely difficult for them to hide. The only way is to speed up and escape;
There was also a sand-controlling ninja with amazing defensive power. Under the guidance of Hatake Sakumo, Mo Congfeng realized that this was a ninja from the Sandfall clan. He was probably a grain of sand that the Second Kazekage mixed into the battlefield of the River Country controlled by the Chiyo clan. The two took advantage of the fact that he was alone and had basically no support from his teammates, and attacked him from both sides, taking advantage of the fact that he was a moment slower in speed and killed him;
There was also a newly appeared old man who could use the Burning Release Ninjutsu. He seemed to be the elder of the Burning Release Ninja Mukura who was killed by Mo Congfeng. He seemed to have completely surrendered to Chiyo and was closely protecting a Chiyo clan puppet ninja. Once Mo Congfeng appeared and approached, the Burning Release old ninja would be extremely angry and chase after him, releasing a powerful ninjutsu that burned down large tracts of forest.
The combined ninjutsu of a large group of ninjas was extremely powerful. They formed several warning lines. Once they spotted the two, they would immediately release flares to attract a group of masters!
In just a few days, the land on the west bank of the River in River Country was severely damaged, and everywhere was in a mess. Large tracts of forests were cut down by large-scale wind-style ninjutsu, and the burning and fire-style ninjutsu caused serious burns to the forests. The trees that could originally be used for hiding and escape were gradually decreasing.
A blank area about ten miles wide was quickly created, like the hair on a man's head, which quickly became bald and formed a gradually losing hairline. Mo Congfeng and Qi Mu Shumao were hiding at the hairline, and now the hairline was still moving backwards rapidly!
The range of activities of Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo is gradually moving away from the big river in the center of River Country. In the process of chasing and escaping, Mo Congfeng is becoming more and more proficient in the use of new ninjutsu. Although he encounters some powerful ninjas who he cannot deal with in a short time, he can always rely on his speed to escape.
The ninjas of Sand Village tried to surround the two several times, but they always failed because of their internal conflicts and the two's flexible positioning. Therefore, Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo did not feel any real crisis. This is the harm that ninjas with mobility far exceeding normal levels can cause! In the process of chasing and escaping, Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo established a certain tacit understanding and became good comrades who admired each other!
If they continue to force them, there will be only one result, that is, forcing Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo into the territory of the Kingdom of Wind. Hatake Sakumo judged that such a result would be absolutely unacceptable to the top leaders of the Chiyo clan, so the final decisive battle is about to come. Hatake Sakumo made such a guess that they are about to encounter an interception at the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of River!
There they might encounter the Second Kazekage Shamon and his direct troops who have never appeared before!
Hatake Sakumo said: "The Second Kazekage arrived when the Third Hokage appeared in the Land of Rivers. The two strongest men from the two ninja villages once faced each other across the river, and neither of them was willing to act rashly. In front of such supreme military power, the intrusion of ordinary ninja teams is meaningless.
As a result, both sides exercised maximum restraint, with each side rarely sending out even half of their attacking teams, and only sending out patrol ninjas as per the usual practice. It was a complete sit-down war!
I originally thought that it would continue like this until the other battlefields were decided. In fact, as long as the Third Hokage is here, it is enough to involve the enemy's equal Kage-level power. We can completely draw forces other than the Hokage to influence other battlefields! And now the Third Hokage has left!" Hatake Sakumo said this and glanced at Mo Congfeng.
"Then what choice will the Second Kazekage make? Will he take the opportunity to defeat us, or will he continue to follow the footsteps of the Third Hokage and move to the battlefield where the Third Hokage is about to arrive?" Mo Congfeng expressed the doubts in Hatake Sakumo's mind tacitly, but in his heart he was thinking about the sit-in battle that Captain Hatake Sakumo mentioned.
I feel that Captain Hatake Sakumo has oversimplified the problem. Such a sit-down war cannot be sustained for a long time. In such a sit-down war, the ninjas' excess energy is actually used on these small countries. For example, the small village on the west bank of the river in Kawanokuni, and it is the people of these small countries who suffer. One day, when the ninjas have had enough of these small countries, they will use their strength on each other!
Moreover, the Chiyo clan in the Land of Rivers wants to make military achievements and seize the position of the Third Kazekage. They will not sit back and watch the war continue in vain. They need military achievements. The ninjas of the Land of Fire will probably have this tendency as well.
Mo Congfeng gradually realized that this kind of war itself had no meaning, but was just a tool for those power-seekers to fight for power. Countless such meaningless wars had occurred in the Central Plains. There was no intention of war at all. The plots and purposes mentioned in their mouths were just superficial. They were basically just for the purpose of fighting for power and profit and provoking border conflicts.
Mo Congfeng spoke unconsciously, "This war has no meaning at all! The sit-down war between the Second Kazekage and the Third Hokage has no war demands. The two Kages do not covet each other's land in this war. This war is just a battle to seize the shadows!"
Hatake Sakumo looked at Mo Congfeng in silence, as if waiting for Mo Congfeng to continue. Mo Congfeng came back to his senses and continued to express his guess, "One of the next days, we will encounter an interception battle, but the Second Kazekage will not appear. The current Second Kazekage is not in the Kingdom of Rivers at all. His attention is not on us, and his goal is not on the Konoha ninjas on the east bank of the river. He has only one goal, and that is the Third Hokage!
That's why he didn't show up these days and catch us two rats who were making trouble in their back garden and even about to get into their rice warehouse!"
Hatake Sakumo understood what Mo Congfeng meant. "The Second Kazekage is old, but he is definitely not a mediocre person. He doesn't think highly of us two little mice. We made a big fuss in a self-righteous manner, but the mission assigned to me by the Third Hokage failed. We failed to attract their forces. Perhaps it was our reluctance to evacuate to the east bank of the river that told the Second Kazekage our real purpose. Our purpose is to attract the Second Kazekage's attention and delay their forces."
Hatake Sakumo continued to analyze, "So what is the purpose of the Second Kazekage?"
"Or in other words, what does the Second Kazekage care about?" Mo Congfeng looked at Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo frowned slightly, "It's obvious that he cares about the Third Hokage!"
"Then the Second Kazekage's target is the Third Hokage!" Mo Congfeng felt a little uneasy, and a guess emerged in his mind!
Hatake Sakumo was shocked, "The Second Kazekage's target is the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage is in danger!"
Mo Congfeng understood. "They were so determined to resist the Konoha ninjas on the east coast, and they were so large-scale in their siege of the two of us that they even created a blank area about ten miles wide. They might just be using our tactics to counter our tactics! That's why they didn't siege us for such a long time, because the Second Kazekage took away his direct troops."
"The Second Kazekage may join forces with the Sandfall clan ninjas from the Land of Rain, and even the Land of Earth ninjas, to launch an attack on the Third Hokage who is about to arrive in the Land of Rain. This is the Second Kazekage's goal!" Hatake Sakumo was shocked! He took out a piece of paper and a pen and quickly wrote down his guess. Then he summoned a ninja dog. Jiandan and Mo Congfeng explained that this was a gift from Inuzuka Shigeo, and whispered a few words to the ninja dog, "Please, Uru!" Uru disappeared with a bang!
Mo Congfeng couldn't help but say, "But this is just our speculation, there is no evidence!"
Hatake Sakumo replied, "I believe in the ninja's intuition, and I have also written down that it is our guess. Let the smartest group of people make the judgment!"
Mo Congfeng knew that it was the Nara clan that Hatake Sakumo often talked about, so he stopped asking and turned to another question, "The Sand Village is blocking us ahead. It might be a trap. Where should we go?"
Hatake Sakumo answered confidently, "Of course we will rush to the front and step on their traps, and make a final confirmation to see if the Second Kazekage is there! After a brief contact with the battle, we will quickly withdraw and make a full-scale attack on the Wind Country and wreak havoc. The ninjas of the Sand Village cannot afford the consequences of angering the Daimyo of the Wind Country!
So we will definitely do our best to intercept them. If the Second Wind Shadow is not here, then we will definitely not have enough strength. We will then withdraw and quickly return to the river, then we can cross the river and escape! Mo Jun, run at full speed!"
That day soon arrived. Mo Congfeng stood at the farthest point that the river of the River Country could nourish, at the edge of the forest, with a grassland in front of him.
Hatake Sakumo pointed out, "After this grassland, there is an endless desert, which is the Land of Wind. Alas, nature is so unfair to the Land of Wind. The cold and wet monsoon that brings rain blows from the northeast to the southwest, but cannot reach the deep part of the continent. It hits the hot wind from the south, and the rain line stops right at the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers and the Land of Rain. The entire Land of Wind has very little rain, which makes it abnormally dry and the poorest place in the Ninja World!
On the contrary, the Land of Rain is located at the intersection of the cold monsoon and the hot wind from the south. Half of the rain in the Ninja Realm falls in the Land of Rain. The rain in the Land of Rain continues all year round, and it converges to form many rivers. These rivers flow into the Land of Rivers, converge into a big river, and rush into the sea! This big river is the big river where the two countries are confronting each other! "
A woman's chuckle came from the tall bushes beside the woods. "I didn't expect that the brave and warlike Konoha White Fang would be so knowledgeable. Oh, oh, I can't bear to kill you. I have decided to beat you half to death later. Please tell me about the knowledge in your head. I am very interested in the knowledge you possess! Hahahaha!"
