Chapter 340 How to deal with the enemy?(1/2)
Three days later, Mai Uchiha successively captured six camps in Sunagakure Village, killing ninjas and nearly a thousand puppet masters. With heavy casualties, he announced his arrival to Sunagakure Village.
For a time, Sunagakure was shaken, and the battle line retreated three hundred kilometers overnight, to the land of fire and the desert of the country of wind.
Whether it was the Sandaime Kazekage, the top powerhouse who was famous in the ninja world, or the new generation masters such as the Red Sand Scorpion and Rasa, they all avoided fighting.
Don't dare to fight.
The impact of Mai Uchiha's one-man division's capture of Kirigakure Village was too great, and everyone agreed that they could not compete with him.
The Third Kazekage, Onoki, the Third Raikage and others have studied every battle of Uchiha Mai since her debut.
After analysis, a shocking conclusion was drawn: almost every once in a while, Uchiha Mai's strength would make significant progress.
Every time he fights, he is stronger than the previous one. And the enemies he fights are always misled by the "information about Uchiha Mai that he has already mastered".
This is especially true in the Battle of Kirigakure.
Even though Yagura and Minazuki Yukikaze had overestimated Mai Uchiha's strength and progress as much as possible, they were still defeated by Mai Uchiha.
Now that Uchiha Mai has returned after more than half a year of silence, according to the previous laws, her strength will inevitably increase further.
Even though she has reached the level of Uchiha Mai, her strength can continue to improve after half a year. This kind of thing sounds ridiculous and unbelievable.
But in line with the principle of showing leniency to the enemy, everyone in Sunagakure Village has to believe it even if they don't believe it.
"hateful."
The Red Sand Scorpion crushed the puppet parts in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't come out early, you won't come out later, so you left Kirigakure Village at this time to support Konoha.
Even if they only wanted to support Konoha, they chose the Sunagakure front.
That red-haired boy is really good at annoying people."
The Red Sand Scorpion was so bored that two years ago he was personally invited back to the village by the Sandaime Kazekage to join the great cause of attacking Konoha.
Because Sunagakure Village had an advantage in high-end combat power in the early stage, Scorpion once saw the hope of defeating Konoha and killing Hatake Sakumo to avenge his parents.
Until half a year ago, Mai Uchiha sent Kakuzu to support Sakumo Hatake and balance the strength of Sunagakure Village and Konoha. Scorpion was assigned a job specifically to keep an eye on Kakuzu by the Third Kazekage.
It was agreed that I would kill Hatake Sakumo with my own hands. How could I be given such a disgusting opponent?
The arrival of Mai Uchiha has made the situation in Sunagakure Village worse and worse, making the hope of Hatake Sakumo, the scorpion-hand sword, even slimmer.
"Calm down, Scorpion."
Luo Sha, who also had red hair, frowned and said with relief: "At least we are still alive now.
As long as you live, there is the possibility of starting over, of developing countermeasures, defeating Mai Uchiha and avenging your parents."
"Research, discuss, after studying for so long, have you come up with any countermeasures?" The Red Sand Scorpion looked impatiently and asked Luo Sha sternly.
Luo Sha was not angry because of the attitude of the Red Sand Scorpion. Getting angry at his own people would not solve any problems.
"The most beneficial countermeasure for us at the moment is to avoid Uchiha Mai and strategically relocate."
Luo Sha gave a rather vague answer. To put it bluntly, he couldn't beat him and retreated step by step.
The Sandaime Kazekage, who was sitting in the first place, remained silent, obviously supporting Rasa's not-so-solution.
"How can it be repaired?"
"Bang!"
The Red Sand Scorpion cursed in a low voice and kicked over the long table in front of him to vent his anger and depression.
This kind of incompetent and furious behavior of kicking the table in front of the Kazekage and Kazekage candidate was undoubtedly very rude. However, neither the Sandaime Kazekage nor Rasa said anything about Scorpion's rude behavior.
Scorpion's status in Sunagakure Village is quite delicate. His grandmother is Sunagakure Elder, and his parents are Sunagakure Village Jonin. They died due to Kazekage's wrong decision-making in the Second Ninja World War.
Scorpion himself is also an extremely talented ninja and puppet master. In his youth, he showed a talent for puppetry that far surpassed Chiyo's.
Xie is the group favorite of Shayin Village, the number one yamen, no matter who they are, they either respect, care for or feel guilty about Xie.
In the eyes of the Sandaime Kazekage and others, it is actually a good thing for the Red Sand Scorpion to vent his anger and depression in front of everyone.
That proves that he has regarded the Sandaime Kazekage and Rasa as his own.
On the contrary, the fact that he remained silent made people even more worried. With Scorpio's level of paranoia, he would do something crazy without even knowing it.
"Tap..."
The sound of footsteps was heard, and a ninja wearing a Sunagakure forehead protector broke into the camp. He was a member of the Sunagakure village's secret troops who were guarding the camp.
Luo Sha only thought that this ninja had barged in after hearing the noise, and said kindly: "It's nothing, don't panic too much, it's just that I accidentally knocked over the table."
The Sunagakure ninja was slightly startled, and then said: "Master Kazekage, Master Luosha, Master Scorpion, I have something else to report."
Something else?
The Sandaime Kazekage raised his hand and said softly: "Speak."
After receiving Kazekage's permission, the Sunagakure ninja straightened his expression and reported: "I just received news that Mai Uchiha attacked a camp 40 kilometers to our left."
"How many casualties are there?" Luo Sha asked quickly.
"No one of more than two hundred people was spared. The entire squadron was wiped out. The entire camp was reduced to ashes and buried in the desert."
Uchiha Mai took action in person, so naturally no one would be left alive. Even a group of passing desert camels were shined in the face by Uchiha Mai and slapped each one.
The Sandaime Kazekage's face was gloomy and he clenched his fingers, looking at another camp. Counting this camp, Sunagakure Village had already lost more than a thousand ninjas in just a few days.
Even if these more than a thousand people are not elites, they can be regarded as the main force.
The Sunagakure ninja raised his head and glanced at Kazekage's face, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Master Kazekage, are you still following the previous strategy?"
In order to prevent being wiped out by Uchiha Mai, and to avoid direct combat with Uchiha Mai as much as possible.
In the past, every time a camp was breached, the Sunagakure front would withdraw at least dozens of kilometers to show the enemy's weakness.
"Retreat fifty kilometers and prepare immediately." The Sandaime Kazekage ordered.
"Yes, I will go out and prepare immediately." The Sunagakure ninja took the order, turned around and left the camp to prepare for the retreat.
Retreat across the board, naturally including the camp led by the Sandaime Kazekage himself.
The Red Sand Scorpion was furious and said unwillingly: "Retreat fifty kilometers today and eighty kilometers tomorrow.
If we retreat in a few days, we will have to retreat to the village. When Uchiha Mai continues to attack, how far can we retreat to and give up Sunagakure Village?"
“What can I do if I don’t retreat?”
Rasa stood up and asked the Red Sand Scorpion: "Gather all the troops to fight Uchiha Mai to the death?
You have fought against him before and fought side by side with him. You know how terrifying his group fighting power is. That was only a few years ago.
Although we have teachers on the front line, you, me, and the five top masters of Elder Chiyo and Fenfuku-senpai behind us, there are also Danzo, Kakuzu and Hatake Sakumo in Konoha.
The other three are enough to hold down the four top experts on our side, and Uchiha Mai can easily let go and have a big fight.
We played a war game two days ago and faced off against Mai Uchiha head-on. There was only a dead end."
Luo Sha's words were cold-blooded and realistic.
Under the condition of overestimating Uchiha Mai's combat power as much as possible, even if Sunagakure Village has more high-end combat power and grassroots combat power than Konoha, it is still at an absolute disadvantage.
During the military push, there was even a situation where the three top masters of Sunagakure Village and more than two thousand ninjas were defeated by Uchiha Mai in two hours. These three top masters also included the Sandaime Kazekage.
As for weakening Uchiha Mai's strength in the military test, but overestimating the number one master in Konoha... Rasa and the Sandaime Kazekage cannot do this kind of self-deception.
A lesson learned from the past experience of Kirigakure Village.
"Ahhh!"
Scorpion let out a low growl and paced back and forth in the tent, extremely annoyed and annoyed.
Seeing Xia's irrational behavior, the Sandaime Kazekage and Rasa were not happy, but they did not blame Xia.
Scorpios are not like this at ordinary times. They are taciturn, calm and decisive, resourceful and resourceful, which is somewhat similar to Mai Uchiha's character.
But now Scorpion, who is burdened with the revenge of killing his father, needs to face an opponent who cannot be defeated by conspiracy and tricks, and whose absolute combat power is completely suppressed by his own opponent.
Playing dirty tricks? Uchiha Mai is also very good at it, but Scorpio may not be able to play against her opponent.
Competing for strength? It's impossible to win. Kirigakure Village plans to compete with Mai Uchiha for strength. Now the whole village has changed their surname to Uchiha.
This helpless feeling of being helpless and having no choice but to wait for death and failure makes the usually calm Scorpio despair and go crazy.
Negative emotions spread within the camp.
"Tap, step..."
There was another sound of footsteps outside the camp.
"Didn't I already say that we would retreat another fifty kilometers? Why did we come here again?"
The extremely bored Xie yelled angrily, and after turning around, he realized that the person who came in this time was Ye Cang, a beautiful ninja in a backless outfit, not the previous ninja.
"What about retreating fifty kilometers?" the beautiful ninja Ye Cang asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mai Uchiha captured one of our camps again."
After Luo Sha explained, he asked again: "On the contrary, you returned to the camp a little later than the previous two days. Did you encounter something?"
The three evil-minded guys, the Sandaime Kazekage, Rasa, and Akasaka Scorpion, were discussing countermeasures in the camp, looking for a way to deal with Mai Uchiha, the formidable enemy.
