Chapter 220 The Thunder Shadow Also Reads Books

While Ohnoki was carrying the book up the mountain, Minato and his party had also completed a reconnaissance of Raocheng and had just returned to the camp.

"Iwagakure Village is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not just talk!" The results of this reconnaissance made several senior executives quite emotional.

Before, these people had only heard about the situation of Iwagakure Village, and it was their first time to conduct an on-site survey!

"The mountains on all sides of Iwagakure Village are high and low, with the highest reaching 576 meters and the lowest being 395 meters. These commanding heights add up to only more than 40. Iwagakure Village only needs to arrange 200 people to guard it, which can cause huge casualties to our army!" said Hyuga Hiashi.

He is the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi and the head of the branch family. Logically, he should be a diehard of the main family.

But compared with Ningyuan, who abolished the main and branch family systems and removed the seal of the bird in the cage, his brother is nothing.

Ningyuan saved not only him, but also his possible children, descendants, and generations in the future!

After removing the seal of the bird in the cage and inheriting the inheritance of the main family, Hizashi Hizashi not only improved his strength, but also became more confident.

With his cooperation, the chief of the Kurama clan next to him first drew the mountains around the Hidden Rock Village, and then asked the earth escape ninja to shape the Hidden Rock Village on the sand table.

Looking at the bare cliffs with few trees, the weaker ninjas already felt a headache.

"Just now, why." Someone asked.

It was about why they didn't take the opportunity to capture Ohnoki.

"Onoki can indeed be taken down in an instant, and there are many benefits to taking down Onoki!" Nara Shikaku said: "Onoki is not only the strongest person in Iwagakure, but also the only ninja in Iwagakure who can fly. If we can take down Onoki, we can take advantage of the air and transfer troops to Iwagakure by air transport. And Iwagakure has lost a super strong man and has lost the threat to our large army!" "But Onoki is not Sarutobi Hiruzen. He has great prestige in Iwagakure. If we kill Onoki without declaring war, it is likely to arouse the anger of the people in Iwagakure, which is very bad for us to take over Iwagakure. It is disadvantageous!"

Minato Namikaze nodded: "When two armies fight, the best is to attack their plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities. War is the last resort. If possible, I hope that the Hidden Rock Village can return peacefully!"

"Will he surrender?" Luo Sha from the Hidden Sand Village was puzzled: "We haven't taken over the Hidden Rock Village yet, and we have nothing to threaten him!"

"Let's try it!" Minato Namikaze was quite calm: "Even if the peace talks fail, it will be the same if we catch Ohnoki at that time!"

This is the confidence brought by strength. Minato is confident that everything in the Hidden Rock Village is under control.

If it doesn't work out, I can still ask for help. There are still a lot of masters in the Ning organization who haven't been dispatched!

In addition, Minato is still very sure that the Hidden Rock Village will choose to surrender, because the organization has conducted special research on this matter.

The reason for this is also due to the design of the concept of ninja village by Hashirama Senju in the past, as well as the legacy left by the ninja family.

That is: the ninja village and the daimyo are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but an employment relationship where you pay and I work.

Ninjas are not soldiers brainwashed by militarism, and there is no such thing as fighting to the death and not surrendering.

The reason why there was no surrender in the previous war was that ninjas could read memories from other people's brains, and the fate of ninjas after surrendering would be very miserable.

Rather than being defeated and having your memory read by others, it is better to fight to the death on the battlefield.

But what is the situation now?

Although the Hidden Rock Village was not surrounded, it was not much different. With the speed of the Guining Army, even if the Hidden Rock Village left the village from other routes, it would be quickly caught up by the Guining Army.

And in the wild, without the protection of the mountains, how can the Hidden Rock Ninja be the opponent of the Guining Army?

If they can't go out, it means that the Hidden Rock Village can't support the daimyo.

Then the daimyo of the Land of Earth will inevitably be taken down by the Ning Organization.

The daimyo is gone, and the employment relationship is naturally terminated.

Now that the Hidden Rock Village has no master, why not change it?

The only uncertainty in this matter is Ohnoki. If this person is greedy for power and unwilling to give it up, it is possible that he will fight to the death with the Ning Organization.

So Minato sent the "Ning Organization Popular Education Handbook" again. While popularizing education to the masses, this book also showed off its muscles to those who don't know the Ning Organization.

It clearly tells you that our Ning Organization is not an ordinary organization. Now we have completely controlled two major countries and several small countries, and the entire land has almost been taken by us.

Our dreams are big, our will is very firm, and there is no possibility of change.

If Ohnoki had some brains, he would not make the decision to fight to the death with the Ning Organization.

Is Ohnoki a brainless person?

Minato didn't know that when people are in desperate situations, the choices they make are often unreasonable.

So he can only wait for the result.

After a while, the White Zetsu who lurked in the Hidden Rock Village sent news.

The left and right printing factories in the Hidden Rock Village were recruited by the Tsuchikage to start printing a book called "Ning Organization Propaganda Education Handbook".

Minato smiled slightly, and his hanging heart finally settled down.

The big thing is settled!

While Ohnoki was printing the book, the third generation Ai was also busy.

Yunyin Village has always done things vigorously and resolutely. The moment they got the Guining Army and Chen Bing's border, they began to assemble their troops. That night, two thousand elites and three thousand genin had already been assembled. Then the third generation Ai and Qilabi led the elites to set off overnight, and the fourth generation Ai and Yukito followed with reserve troops and logistics supplies.

At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Sandaai met the ninja who came from the front line to deliver the news.

After learning that the Guining Army did not attack but instead set up camp on the spot, Sandaai relaxed a little, then ordered everyone to rest on the spot and continue moving forward two hours later.

So the Kumogakure troops, who were supposed to arrive at the front line at 12 noon, were delayed until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Such a slow march was simply a crime in war. If the Guining Army took the opportunity to launch an attack on the frontline border guarding ninjas, Sandai Ai didn't know how they could defend it.

But the Guining Army did not launch an attack.

So the third generation Ai unconsciously developed a little contempt for the Guining Army.

What's the use of having more people? If you encounter a leader who has little ability and can't seize the opportunity to fight, let's see how you win the battle!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Sandaai arrived at the frontline fortress.

The border fortress of Kumogakure Village is different from that of Iwagakure Village. The opponent Iwagakure Village has to face is Sunagakure Village. Sunagakure ninjas are weak in attacking fortresses and generally focus on Konoha, so the border of Iwagakure Village Although the fortress is operated, its quality is average and it is in disrepair and lacks maintenance.

But the fortress on the border of Yunyin Village is to deal with Konoha, so the quality is different.

Not only is the entire fortress made of extremely hard thunder stones that have been struck by thunderstorms throughout the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Thunder also spends a large amount of materials on maintaining the border fortress every year.

This fortress stretches between two valleys and stretches for four kilometers. It looks like an artificial giant blue dragon. Therefore, the fortress whose official name is Shigu also has another name, called Tianqian Blue Dragon.

Cloud Hidden Village has three thousand ninjas stationed at the border all year round. These people are not only used for defense, but from time to time they also go to Konoha or other countries to fight against the autumn wind and grab geniuses.

On the mountain tops on both sides of the fortress, Yanyin Village also had manpower deployed.

Although the mountains on both sides of the fortress are extremely steep, it is not impossible for ninjas to climb up if they really want to, so Yunyin Village has built a separate fortress on each hilltop, with five hundred people stationed in each fortress.

There are a thousand people on the mountain and three thousand in the fortress. In addition to the two thousand elites led by the third generation Ai Qin, the number of Kumogakure troops in this fortress group has reached six thousand!

If you include the reserve troops, the total strength of Yunyin Village is nine thousand!

This number is not terrifying, and is simply small compared to those large battles on Earth that can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.

But these are nine thousand superpowers, and everyone can control the elements!

This is a bit scary!

Even so, the trio of Guining troops did not panic at all, but it was the third-generation Raikage Ai who panicked.

"Sixty thousand ninjas, are you sure? You read that right?" Ai looked at his sensing ninja with an angry expression.

"That's 60,000 people. Even if I'm wrong, there are so many full tents and they are arranged neatly. I can count them myself!" the Sensing Ninja said aggrievedly.

"How is this possible!" After hearing this terrifying number, the third generation Raikage Ai also felt a little numb.

But what puzzled him even more was where did these 60,000 people come from?

Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and even Kirigakure, even the four ninja villages combined cannot produce 60,000 ninjas!

Not to mention that I also received news here that there are two other Guining armies, one is going to fight Iwagakure, and the other is in Tang Country!

If there are so many people in the other two armies, doesn't it mean that there are 180,000 ninjas under the command of this Guining army?

"Has anyone from the other side been sent over to communicate?" Lei Ying asked.

The commander-in-chief of the border guards, Sakye, shook his head: "No!"

"No?" Lei Ying was puzzled and refused to communicate. Why did you send so many people here?

Whether it's a fight, a peace, or even blackmail, someone must be sent over to talk about it!

"If he doesn't send someone, then we will send someone over!" Sandaimei said, and just as he was about to figure out who to send over, he heard his Sensing Ninja speak: "Lord Raikage, someone from the other side has been sent over!"

"Huh?" Several people turned their heads, and sure enough, from the camp opposite, there was a man running over.

Sandaai frowned and turned to look at Saki.

Thackeray immediately raised his hands and swore: "There can be no spies on our border!"

Sandaai didn't say anything, but no one came to communicate with him all day and night before, and the person who came to the opposite side came as soon as he arrived.

If it's not a spy, it's because the opponent's investigation ability is too strong.

Are they from the Hyuga clan? What an enviable bloodline!

"Do we want it?" Sakhi breathed a sigh of relief when Raikage didn't pursue him, and then asked.

As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Sandaai shook his head: "Send someone to ask what he wants to say. You must know why they are here!"

So a ninja ran down from the fortress.

Not long after, he came back holding a book.

"Lord Raikage, this is given to you by the commander of the Guining Army opposite. He said that after reading this book, you will understand why he is here!"

"We have checked it. There is no poison or illusion in the book. It is sealed. It is just an ordinary book."

"Oh?" Sandaai frowned. If you have something you can't say directly, do you still want me to read a book?

Looking at this book that was three fingers thick and quite large, the third generation Ai instinctively resisted.

But after thinking about it, he still took it.

Although he had not read Sun Tzu's Art of War and did not know that knowing the enemy and knowing yourself will ensure victory in a hundred battles.

But it would never be wrong to know more about the opponent.
