Chapter 413 Frost Country
Xi's Yin-tun ability is far inferior to Ino's back then, but he has the jade talisman of the first Raikage in his hand, and the Hidden Cloud Village has been raising giant turtles for decades, so they have a deep friendship.
The giant turtle heard Xi's call and responded to him. Then, while the main consciousness fell into a long sleep, it woke up part of its consciousness and took the Cloud Hidden Ninja, led by the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, to dive into the seabed, bypassing the multiple defense lines of the Mist Hidden Village and attacking the defenseless Mist Hidden Village! There were not many Cloud Hidden Ninja, but they were all elite and their targets were obvious.
The Fourth Raikage yelled on Kame Island: "Two targets, one is the Master, the other is Chojuro! If we catch them, I can control the Hidden Mist Village, move!"
On the third day after Konoha and Kirigakure formed an alliance, Mei Terumi personally arrived at the eastern front with 3,000 ninjas. This Mizukage with emerald green eyes and long red curly hair attracted the attention of a large number of married and unmarried Konoha ninjas.
The Fifth Mizukage is a bit like Ino, and also uses bangs to cover his right eye.
However, compared with the bold Tsunade and the sharp Ino, Mei Terumi with her pink lips, fair skin and plump figure is undoubtedly more feminine.
Tsunade's seniority in the ninja world is much higher than Mei Terumi, but considering that this is the current Mizukage, Tsunade still led the senior ninjas out of the camp to welcome him.
Mei Terumi led the Kirigakure ninjas and Konoha to form an alliance. Facing Tsunade, she behaved very humbly, calling her "senior" all the time. Both sides introduced each other's jonin to each other.
Ino saw Zabuza Momochi, who was tall but wearing an ANBU mask.
But there was no Shiro, nor was there any Chojuro who looked like the son of Mei Terumi.
She asked, "Mizukage-sama, isn't Chojuro here?"
Given her status as Tsunade's lieutenant and her recent impressive battle record, it was perfectly fine for her to ask this question.
Mei Terumi covered her mouth and smiled: "Little sister in the mountains, Chojuro will stay in the Hidden Mist Village to look after the house, if you miss him."
Ino waved her hands quickly, ending the topic here, as she and Chojuro were not familiar with each other at all.
After all, Mei Terumi is the Mizukage, and Tsunade cannot give her orders, nor does she have any intention of seizing power. She just lets Gonbei represent her and lead two thousand ninjas to join the coalition forces. She herself leads the remaining thousand ninjas to the rear to do some work such as allocating supplies and treating the wounded.
This person is a little neurotic, but she is quite ladylike when she doesn't talk. When the wounded saw the Mizukage coming to visit them in person, they were all very excited, and the morale of the coalition forces was greatly boosted.
Under the leadership of Tsunade and Ino, the Konoha ninjas gradually changed their defensive strategy and entered the attack phase. It took them three days to break through the Hidden Cloud Defense Line and officially enter the Land of Hot Spring, the country where the cat and dog war took place before.
To the north of the Kingdom of Soup is the Kingdom of Frost.
Geographically speaking, the Land of Fire originally did not border the Land of Lightning. It was due to the great battle between Kaguya Ĺtsutsuki and the Six Paths Sage that the southern continent was broken and the sea level of the northern continent dropped. The land that was originally under the sea slowly rose up, and due to some plate collisions and displacements, the two continents of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning were connected together.
The channel connecting the two sides is the Frost Kingdom that was originally located on the seabed and has now risen above.
To the southwest of this long and narrow country is the Soup Kingdom, a barrier specially set up by the Fire Kingdom. To the northeast, it borders the Lightning Kingdom. The other two directions are all sea. In a sense, this narrow passage of the Frost Kingdom divides the North Sea and the East Sea.
Due to the strength of the Hidden Cloud Ninja, this narrow area has always been under the control of the Hidden Cloud Ninja. As long as the Konoha Ninja occupies this passage, they can form a situation of closing the door and beating the dog against the Hidden Cloud Village.
Shikamaru advocated quickly occupying the Frost Country, seeking the initiative in the war, then using one or two major battles to force the Kumogakure ninjas to withdraw from the war, and finally mobilizing a large army to attack the Iwagakure on the western front.
Ino has a different opinion. The war between ninja villages is different from the gangsters fighting for territory. The national conditions, culture and customs are all different. It is impossible for Konoha to subdue the Kumogakure ninjas by defeating the Kumogakure Village. Unless they can reach the combat power of Naruto and Sasuke at their peak, it will take a long time to defeat them. Shikamaru is too optimistic.
She knew that the Akatsuki and Kara organizations were still hiding in the dark and watching the show. Not to mention the Hidden Cloud Village, just talking about Konoha, once a large-scale battle was launched, there would be a lot of casualties. If the damage to Konoha was too great, it would not have the strength to fight against those guys hiding in the dark in the future.
Shikamaru believes that he should take advantage of his illness to kill him, destroy the Hidden Cloud Village in one go, and end the war on the Eastern Front first. This idea is actually not wrong, but the two sides have unequal information and different perspectives.
Tsunade sat in the middle and didn't say anything. She was the final decision maker and needed to consider opinions from all parties before making a decision.
In the end, she decided to follow Shikamaru's advice, defeat the Hidden Cloud Village in one fell swoop, bear some sacrifices, and end the war on the Eastern Front as soon as possible.
The next day, the coalition forces entered the long and narrow Frost Kingdom.
The country is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, with the sea outside the cliffs and rugged mountain roads inside.
The population of the Frost Country is very small. Before the war, the Kumogakure Ninja moved all the ordinary people away. All the Konoha Ninja could find were thatched huts, dilapidated water tanks and stone mills.
The transportation of supplies became increasingly difficult, but the army's morale was still high at the thought of being able to completely defeat the Hidden Cloud Ninja.
There are many mountains and the passages in some valleys are extremely narrow. The Hidden Cloud Ninja guarded the checkpoints and Ino's wooden man could not be used, so she retreated to the rear and left the task of attacking to Tsunade.
After breaking through five checkpoints in two days, the army gradually penetrated into the heart of the Frost Kingdom.
Ino felt that the Hidden Cloud Village should not be so weak, but she did not read any important information from the souls of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas who died in the battle. It seemed that this ninja village relied on chicken blood to fight, and it would become weak when the excitement wore off.
She felt uneasy, so she went into battle herself and exchanged a few moves with the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee and the others, but she still didn't notice any problems.
The Hyuga ninja in the army said that everything was normal.
Ino couldn't see the problem and could only think that the Hidden Cloud Village was weaker than she had imagined. With her joining, Konoha became stronger than the original time and space. The addition and subtraction led to the current situation.
Tsunade led two thousand Mist Ninjas including Gonbei to attack from the front, while Ino and Shikamaru were responsible for the support.
Shikamaru also made many guesses about Ino's worries. He looked at the high cliffs on both sides and raised a finger: "The terrain here is very suitable for ambushes. Most Genin find it difficult to maintain a stable chakra output during a battle. Once the intensity of the battle increases, they will not be able to attach chakra to the soles of their feet and climb up such a high cliff like normal times."
Ino was the first to deny this speculation: "The problem is that the Hidden Cloud Village only has so many soldiers. We have been to the Hidden Cloud Village. Their mobilization capacity is now almost at its limit. Can they still arm another 10,000 ninja soldiers to set up an ambush? This is impossible."
