Chapter 401: War Mobilization
After listening to the reasoning of his younger brother Omoi, Darui felt that it was nonsense.
It's good to be cautious, but not too cautious.
"The camp defense will be arranged, don't worry."
He waved his hand to the Fourth Raikage and said, "Boss, you should take some time to rest. You still have to be the main force in the night raid."
The other side.
According to statistics, 57 ninjas from Konoha were killed and 311 were injured. This number of casualties is already quite high among the total army of 7,000, which is very regrettable. Almost all those who died in the battle were young Genin.
"Two of our ninjas have been captured." Shikamaru was trying hard to get into the role. The battle had just ended, so he went to count the casualties and found that two ninjas were missing. Several ninjas in the same group said that they did not see when their companions disappeared. Shikamaru concluded that they were captured by the enemy's Lightning Release master.
Ino held the thermos cup and drank wolfberry tea slowly. Killer Bee and Yukito had the big cheat of the tailed beast, but she didn't have it now.
The core principle of the Wooden Man Technique is still the extraction of chakra from the sacred tree.
The extracted chakra is transmitted through plants and trees and absorbed into the wooden man's body, making the wooden man stronger and stronger. However, these chakras belong to the wooden man, not Yamanaka Ino.
This is no different from the previous water and fire ninjutsu. Ninjutsu adds changes in nature and form. Once it is released, it means that the chakra is consumed. It can be controlled, but it cannot be taken back.
Ino released the Woodman Technique, and the tailed beast chakra in the woodman returned to nature. Nature will not say that you are good-looking. We all get a share. I will give you half too? Ino has never eaten the face fruit, so her face is not that big.
She is now using her own chakra, and chakra is a forced extraction of her own cells, which consumes her own energy. She is now very tired after maintaining the Wood Man Technique for a long time.
She drank her tea slowly, not understanding for a moment the purpose of Shikamaru telling her this.
Tsunade is not the Fourth Raikage who has been lifting weights every day for decades. He drinks, plays cards and feeds pigs every day. He has been decadent for so many years. After the battle, he is more tired than Ino and goes to sleep as soon as he returns to the tent. At this time, she is the only one who can be responsible for the work of the camp.
10 o'clock made her quickly figure out Shikamaru's intention: "Are you worried that our defense information will be leaked?"
Shikamaru nodded: "Yes, although the captives are Genin, if some of the information falls into the hands of Kumogakure ninja, it will definitely be disadvantageous to us."
Ino thought about it. It was unrealistic to expect the Konoha ninja to keep their mouth shut under torture.
She put down the cup and said, "Assuming that the information about our defense has been leaked, based on my understanding of the Fourth Raikage, that guy will definitely try to launch another sneak attack. Choji, go find me two bodies of Kumogakure ninjas."
The fat man didn't know what her intention was, but he still went out honestly to move the body.
It wasn't long before the two dark-skinned bodies of the Kumogakure ninjas were placed in Ino's tent.
She stretched out her hand and touched the forehead of the corpse. Just when Shikamaru and Choji thought she was going to read information from the enemy's brain, she clenched her right hand, pulled it upward with force, and along the connection between the corpse and the soul, she forcibly summoned the soul of the Hidden Cloud Ninja.
Death beads appeared in her hand. She closed her eyes and listened for a while. Soon she had dug out most of the information about the Hidden Cloud Ninja.
"I'm going to find the teacher. Shikamaru, you go find the earth-style ninja and reinforce the camp."
That night, Tsunade, Ino, and Asuma led the team to raid the Hidden Cloud Camp. The other side also came to raid them. The two sides met halfway. They felt a little embarrassed when they saw each other, and another melee ensued.
The intensity of the battle was much lower than that during the day. Tsunade, the Fourth Raikage, and Ino were only human after all, with limited chakra. The two Jinchūriki were also in a half-dead state. Ino did not use wooden men, but wooden dragons, and fought with them for half the night.
The high-intensity fighting lasted for three days, with both sides using every possible means.
Konoha has been at peace for a long time, but the mentality of the village's ninjas has not yet fully adjusted. They still view the battlefield with the mentality of previous peacetimes.
Tsunade personally came out to boost morale for several days in a row. Tsunade and Ino, master and apprentice, also remained constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances and held their own defense line. The first to give up would definitely be the Hidden Cloud Village, which had a weaker financial situation.
Konoha Village continuously transported supplies to the front line, in addition to supplies, there were also large amounts of gold, silver and treasures.
Most ninjas don't have the spirit of sacrificing their lives for the ninja village. This is a purely militarized organization. How can there be any lofty ideals of defending the country? Everyone puts their heads on the belt to fight, guard the border for the Fire Country, and fight for the ninja village. You have to pay, if you win, you have to pay, if you lose, you have to pay, if you don't pay? Then rebel!
The system of the Ninja Village is similar to the Wei Bo Yabing in the late Tang Dynasty and the Japanese samurai group. It is a typical way of creating happiness with salary. No money? If you don’t have money, you can do whatever you want.
Konoha increased its troops, Kumogakure also increased its troops, Konoha increased its troops again, and Kumogakure also sent reinforcements to the front line. The strength of each of them exceeded 10,000 in a short period of time.
Konoha can also carry out a larger-scale mobilization. Ten thousand ninja troops are almost all the resources of the Hidden Cloud Village.
Jiraiya reformed some of the systems during the Third Hokage's period, trying his best to be fair.
A large number of ninjas are fighting on the front lines, while those ninjas in charge of secondary work are wandering around the village, not caring about anything? This is not okay!
You say you have no fighting ability? Then you have to go to the front line, even if it's just to transport some supplies or bring back some wounded soldiers. You can't just sit in the village and watch others sacrifice themselves.
Under his strong pressure, even a ninja with a close relationship like Kaminarimon Yueli had to hang out at the front line.
Every policy has its countermeasure. Raimon went to the western front where the war had not yet started. There, Kakashi and Might Guy were guarding the two canyons leading to the Land of Fire, so it was relatively safe for the time being.
Kaminarimon Kotsugi has connections with Mitomon En, so he was able to pick a job that isn't too dangerous. The remaining second-tier civilian ninjas have both hard and soft connections.
The forced conscription of second-line civilian ninjas to the front lines caused a lot of dissatisfaction.
At the critical moment, Iruka, a teacher who had studied at Yuanfudao, stood up bravely. He angrily rebuked his colleagues who were afraid of death and were thinking about finding connections and ways to avoid going to the battlefield. For the sake of Konoha Village, he resolutely quit his school job and signed up to go to the front line to fight!
Also setting off with him was Moonlight Gale, who had just become a teacher.
Before leaving, Iruka treated Naruto to a bowl of ramen, then said that he was going to the battlefield and asked Naruto to study hard and take care of himself.
There is nothing much to say about Moonlight Gale. Mao Yue Xi Yan has already been fighting on the eastern front. He is just picking up the long sword again and joining the battle again.
