Chapter 264 Spearhead
Whether for Konan or Uchiha Yayoi, the name Uchiha Hikaru is impactful enough.

The former was because he had grown up and studied under her for seven years, while the latter undoubtedly regarded her as a mortal enemy.

Not to mention Sawara Kiri.

What puzzled him was how the army could advance so quickly?

If it is just a small team, they can naturally travel light, and with the speed of a ninja, they can even cross the thousands of kilometers between the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom in a short period of time.

However, for a complete and well-equipped army, whether it is equipment consumption or material supply, they are destined to need a huge amount of logistical supplies. Even though the universal capsules of the Maomao Express Group have been popularized in many fields, the limitations of capacity and price still make the logistics fleet an inevitable burden.

In just one and a half months, Konoha, led by Sawara Kiri, has just entered the Sand Village. How did they do it?
As Sawara Kiri thought about this, he suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the power of the “Eight Thousand Spears” before.

At this critical moment, he naturally couldn’t let family matters hold him back. He immediately turned to Miss Yayoi with a serious face and said quickly:

“Yayoi, the overall situation of the Sand Village is left to you.”

“I have to go back to the village first.”

“I huh?”

Just as Yayoi was about to say something, she saw Sawara Kiri move faster than ever before. She quickly grabbed the still confused Kakashi and Konan and jumped out of the window.

Uchiha Yayoi stared at Sawara Kiri’s back for a long time.

Finally he let out a long sigh.

The reason why Sawara Kiri left Yayoi in Sunagakure was to get away as soon as possible and to let her avoid the upcoming battle with Uchiha Hikari.

Of course he knew what kind of personality Miss Yayoi had. Ever since they last met in the village, there had been a constant grudge between her and Guang – of course, it might have started from the first time they met.

If they didn’t collide in the next battle, it would be fine, but if the two of them happened to meet alone, the result would be a fight to the death.

In order to prevent her from going crazy, the best option is to get Yayoi out of this war.

After briefly dealing with the affairs of the Sand Village and temporarily handing over the governor’s power to Yayoi, Sawara Kiri, Konan and their group quickly traveled back to Konoha with light luggage. It only took them two days in total.

Konoha during the war was completely different from the bustling street scenes on ordinary days.

The bustling streets of the past have disappeared, and there are few pedestrians on the empty streets. There are all kinds of transport vehicles coming and going everywhere, most of which are trucks, and there are also a small number of civilians riding three-wheeled bicycles, often towing goods or mobile snack stalls behind them.

In the distance, at the edge of the new city, winding columns of gray-black smoke rose up from the sky, floating like dragons under the clear blue sky. Various factories were working overtime to manufacture exoskeletons, portable short guns and various ninja tools needed for the front line. Since the war began, fast weapons such as “short guns” have become one of the standard equipment of Konoha ninjas.

This new weapon is powerful and has high damage. Just by changing the type of bullet, it can easily penetrate the enemy’s earth-style defense ninjutsu. It can even explode after entering the human body, or be filled with a very small amount of solid toxin. It is a must-have for home travel, murder and arson.

However, Konoha’s management of it is quite strict. The reason is that even if civilians are equipped with such harmful weapons, there is a high probability of killing ninjas. In addition, it was originally an Anbu equipment and its own level of secrecy is not low. If the war had not started suddenly, it might take some time before it appeared in the hands of ordinary ninjas.

The only two things that people criticize are that even after installing a silencer, the weapon is still quite loud, which is somewhat incompatible with the ninja’s fighting style. Another thing is that the trajectory is very limited and it goes straight back and forth, which can be easily avoided at a long distance with the speed of a ninja.

Representatives of the Uchiha clan specifically requested that the equipment research department add a turning function to this weapon so that the Uchiha clan, who are proficient in the Sharingan and shuriken throwing techniques, can better exert its effectiveness.

This is simply a fairy tale.

But what was very subtle was that Orochimaru specifically responded and expressed his agreement.

This forced Sawara Kiri to come up with some wild imagination.

Wouldn’t he be able to see the Hyuga clan, who specialize in long-range curved sniping, and the Uchiha clan, who specialize in close-range bullet curved gun fighting, known as the Twin Guns of Konoha in the village in the future?
This imagination only stayed in his mind for a moment.

After returning to the village, he only rested at home for one night, and the next day he received a request from Tsunade to attend a meeting.

In the Hokage Building, many commanding jonin who came to attend the meeting were standing in the corridor outside the conference room. Most of them were chatting with each other, discussing various things on the battlefield, and some of them looked quite excited and interested.

There is no other reason.

The current Konoha is extremely strong, which is incomparable to the arduous and arduous appearance during the last war. The war has only been going on for more than two months, and it is one against three, but the victory reports are coming in one after another.

Even for many grassroots commanding ninjas, they can visibly perceive that after the opening of the Ninja High School and the reform of all ninja specialization, the overall quality of the entire Konoha Ninja Army has been significantly improved, and geniuses have emerged one after another among the civilian ninjas. Strong is no longer a synonym for the exclusive ninjas of the ninja clan, and various combat techniques and morale are also higher than each other.

In the west, the Wind Country, under the leadership of Sawara Kiri, captured the Sand Village in one fell swoop.

The goal of controlling the entire ninja world is about to be achieved.

In this situation, no one could remain calm like Sawara Kiri.

However, that’s why.

After everyone noticed Sawara Kiri’s appearance, regardless of age or position, they all lowered their voices, looked at him, and said in unison:

“Lord Sahara.”

Ninjas always respect strength.

Konan and Kakashi stood on both sides behind him, following closely.

Although little Kakashi has been accustomed to this scene for some time, he still has a different feeling in his heart when he sees so many famous Konoha senior ninjas in the ninja world looking like this.

On the contrary, Xiaonan still looked indifferent, but in his heart he couldn’t help but think:
“If these guys knew that the man in front of them, who is called the God of the Ninja World, is actually a lecherous man who likes to touch other people’s drums and two-timing, they would definitely be disappointed.”

It is obvious that Xiaonan thinks that she has become the second boat under Sawara Kiri.

In fact, it was because she was a bit of a jerk.

If I could just be toyed with by this guy and live to see the day when the world is unified, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Sawara Kiri still looked like a gentleman, showing a warm smile to everyone around him and responding to them one by one.

It seems that no changes have been made due to the gap in status and strength.

As he was greeting, he saw Shuimen, dressed in dust, hurriedly jumping in from the window.

Sahara Kiri’s eyes lit up and he raised his hand towards him:
“Minato, this way!”

“fog!”

Namikaze Minato also showed joy: “You are back too.”

“I heard that you killed all the Raikages in the Land of Lightning this time. You did a good job.” Sahara Kiri naturally hugged him and whispered in the corner.

Many people around him who wanted to get close to him dispersed when they saw that he was busy.

Minato smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t beat that guy. This time it’s all thanks to Lord Orochimaru’s Dragon Pulse Cannon.”

“Otherwise, I’m afraid the teacher and I will have to die there.”

“correct.”

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something and took out three pieces of the Four Souls Jade from his pocket: “We found these in the bomb crater. I wanted to ask the Fourth Generation to give them to you, and it just so happens that you’re back.”

“No wonder.” Seeing these fragments, Sawara Kiri finally understood why Minato and the others had such a hard time fighting.

When he took the fragment, he immediately felt the power contained in it, the same power that Grandma Chiyo had.

“Holiness”

Since it is because of this ability, the hard work of Minato and others can be understood.

The two chatted in low voices for a while, and soon, the office door was pushed open.

“My Lords, the meeting time has come.”

Noticing the familiar voice, Sawara Kiri subconsciously raised his head.

Then, his eyes met with Yukie Sahara who was winking at him.

Miss Xuehui smiled and winked at him. As the brother and sister passed by each other, she whispered:
“Remember to go home for dinner today.”

“Yes, yes~”

Sawara Kiri also responded in a low voice.

Since the war began, Yukie, a fourth-class medical jonin, was arranged by Sawara Kiri and Tsunade to work in the Konoha Hospital.

Later, due to the shortage of medical resources on the front line, he stayed in the third-line field hospital in the direction of the Land of Earth for a period of time.

Originally, Sawara Kiri thought that most of Iwagakure’s forces were tied up by the Moon Organization and should be fine. However, unfortunately, their rear position suffered an attack, and even Yukie was injured and evacuated.

From then on, she was arranged by Tsunade to be her secretary.

After everyone entered the room, they saw that the young girl Tsunade was still as tired as a social animal who had been working overtime for a long time. It was not until everyone sat down that she perked up a little:
“It has been confirmed that the Moon Organization has invaded the Iwagakure Village.”

“Due to the pupil technique of the Eight Thousand Spears, many Iwagakure clans have switched sides and are now heading towards our country and the Land of Lightning from both land and sea.”

“Please discuss the overall strategy for the upcoming war.”

The content of the meeting was unremarkable. Preparing for war seemed to be a mental job, but in fact it was a physical job not much different from working in a factory.

After the most basic battle direction is determined, what remains is the extremely large and complicated arrangement of roads, battle lines and logistics, each of which requires extremely precise comparison and formulation – because everything they decide at the conference table will involve the safety of the ninjas fighting on the front line.

Sahara Kiri sat on Tsunade’s left and listened quietly, but she felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart.

“coming.”

Looking at the shadowy figures on the road ahead, Qiu Daoqufeng, who was standing on the top of the bunker, put down the telescope and spoke to the commanders around him.

After the opening of the Ninja Academy, although more and more jonin of the new generation are active on the battlefield, the seniors who were able to control the situation in the old era seem to be insufficient.

Under such circumstances, Akimichi Tofu, who had been active on the battlefields of World War I as a teammate with Sarutobi Hiruzen, became the ballast stone for the direction of the Land of Earth.

It’s not that he was reluctant, he was just a little surprised.

At the same time, due to the reforms of the ninja clan in previous years, they had to be much more cautious than others in doing things.

Unlike other fronts, due to the surprise war between the Iwagakure and the Moon Organization, after the initial head-on confrontation between Konoha and the Iwagakure Village, the entire following month turned to harassing each other’s rear, and the front line was generally calm.

After initially advancing two hundred kilometers towards the Land of Earth, most of Konoha stopped at an exit at the southernmost tip of the Land of Earth Plateau, and built a large-scale permanent fortress complex there to resist the attack of the Iwagakure Village.

Due to the super-large-scale barrier and the underground reinforced concrete structure, the large-scale earth-style ninjutsu that the Iwagakure Village is best at and the most threatening cannot play much of a role in this line of defense. If one wants to capture this stronghold, they can only do so by sacrificing lives.

Therefore, they had not sensed the presence of Iwagakure ninjas around for a long time.

But I didn’t expect that the scale of what I encountered today would be so huge.

All the commanders present had solemn expressions.

However, unlike them, the Konoha ninjas in the front-line trenches and bunkers were rubbing their hands in anticipation and looked excited.

The battle reports that had been coming from the rear in recent times had already made them eager to fight. After receiving the news that Lord Sawara had broken through the Sand Village, many people clamored to take the initiative to advance and take advantage of this great opportunity to conquer the entire Land of Earth in one fell swoop.

Now that we finally see the enemy appear, how can we not be excited?

However, the enemies that appeared before them seemed different from what they had imagined.

There were numerous figures in black robes, all arranged in neat battle formations. At a glance there were at least a thousand of them.

However, there was not even the slightest noise coming from the entire marching column, and there were no large-scale siege convoys or sealing squads in the rear.

The commanding jonin in the bunker on the front line closed his eyes and formed hand seals, sensing the attacking ninjas in front of him, with a strange expression on his face.

The chakra reactions of these people are a bit strange.

However, these few doubts were not enough to make him back down.

He immediately shouted to the players around him:

“Ready to fight!”

The ninjas around him were setting up machine guns, setting up cannons, and the rest were preparing ninjutsu and organizing the ninja tool bags on their waists.

Everyone was full of determination, and when they got close enough, they were going to give these short-sighted Iwagakure people a ruthless blow.

But it was beyond everyone’s expectation.

The approaching Iwagakure ninjas didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping after seeing the group of bunkers ahead.

On the contrary, their pace seemed to be a little faster.

The Iwagakure ninja at the front first walked quickly, then jogged, running faster and faster, gradually distanced themselves from the large force behind them, splitting into scattered star-shaped dots, and gradually forming a huge spearhead.

He actually rushed towards the bunker without even looking back.

The faces of those figures hidden under the black robes and hoods gradually appeared in the eyes of the bunker commander in the front.

expressionless.

As if he suddenly thought of something, the commander suddenly roared:

“Open fire! It’s the demolition team!”

The next moment, a loud bang of fire wrapped in blood suddenly bloomed above the barrier in the front.

Then the second and third
The explosive spearheads, numbering in thousands, penetrated deeply into the cement fortress complex like spears piercing a shield.
