Facing the ninja troops from the Kingdom of Demons, Sunagakure arranged his position into a three-stage concentric circle formation, divided into three lines of defense from outside to inside.

A total of one thousand sand ninjas are stationed on the first line of defense, mainly responsible for warning and monitoring the enemy. Once the ninjas from the Kingdom of Oni attack, they can determine the enemy's attack route.

Then the 1,500 Sand Ninja placed on the second line of defense will move in response, ready to support at any time to block the enemy's invasion.

The third line of defense is located at the core, and is also the last line of defense in Sunagakure's formation. It exists as a headquarters, with 2,500 Suna ninjas stationed there, and is personally led by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

In the core headquarters area, there is a large amount of supplies that Sunagakure brought to the front line, as well as a simple field hospital that has been established. They are all Sunagakure key protection areas. The Sunagakure protection force in these two areas is also the strongest.

Adequate.

In a conference room set up with a simple tent, the Suna ninjas headed by Kazekage Rasa and the Konoha ninjas headed by Jiraiya started an extremely rigorous discussion on tactics.

Since the Land of Wind is Sunagakure's home turf, Jiraiya can only focus on Sunagakure's strategic layout most of the time. Occasionally, he will put forward his own opinions to supplement the deficiencies in Sunagakure's strategy.

"According to what the investigation team members saw with their own eyes, the ninja troops from the Kingdom of Ghosts have established a huge base thirty miles north of the camp. Judging from their appearance, they should be planning to start a long-term stalemate with us.

.”

Luo Sha took out a few photos and spread them out on the table. The photos showed what a base looked like.

Judging from the size of the base, it is no problem to accommodate five thousand people for long-term garrisoning.

In addition, the outer walls of the base are very tall, and protective barriers are placed in the sky and underground. It is definitely not a wise move to attack this base when the ninjas of the Demon Country occupy the advantageous location. There will definitely be casualties.

heavy.

"Are they planning to delay the war in a stalemate until the end?"

Jiraiya asked strangely.

Although he couldn't say anything, the strategic layout of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Wind was weird and confusing.

"This kind of thing is not clear, but from the very beginning, we, Sunagakure, fell into the trick of the Kingdom of Demons. As a result, the vanguard army composed of a thousand ninjas is still uncertain about life and death. Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that they will

Already captured by the Kingdom of Ghosts."

As for the fate of the captives, Luo Sha couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about it.

In this turbulent era, prisoners have no human rights at all.

Although in the past the five major powers jointly formulated the so-called humanitarian principle of not killing prisoners of war, and it was affirmed by the Five Kage at that time, this humanitarian rule of not killing prisoners of war actually did not have much binding force on ninjas.

The so-called humanitarian principle of not killing prisoners of war is nothing more than an anesthetic formulated by the five major countries to allow small countries to comfort themselves.

In the Ninja World War, it has long been a tacit truth among the five major nations to kill enemy prisoners at will.

Unless some special prisoners will receive preferential treatment, such as medical ninjas, most prisoners will only be tortured and die miserably in endless torture.

Therefore, Luo Sha most likely believed that the vanguard army to which Ma Ji belonged had been completely wiped out and no one survived.

Even if he survived, he would probably be in a situation where life would be worse than death, and it would be better to die happily.

After hearing this, Jiraiya also sighed lightly, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Of course he knew how prisoners would be treated during war. Once they opened their mouths and obtained the information they wanted, one could only imagine how they would be treated.

Especially for some female ninjas, after being captured, their fate will be even more miserable than that of male ninjas.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya hated war even more and vowed to prevent these tragedies from happening.

As long as the true son of the prophecy can be found and guided on the path of the savior, war can be avoided, the ninja world will usher in true peace, and no one will bear the pain caused by war.

Just when Jiraiya was about to say something, suddenly there was a sound of firecrackers outside, and the pattern of fireworks exploding was reflected on the tent's cloth.

What this scene foreshadows is self-evident.

Rasa immediately said to Jiraiya seriously: "Jiraiya Jounin, please use the transformation technique immediately, transform into our Suna ninja, and move to a safe area. No matter what, your whereabouts and identities, no matter what,

We cannot let the Kingdom of Ghosts notice it at this time, otherwise our surprise attack plan will be in vain."

The alliance with Konoha was carried out secretly and was not announced publicly.

When Jiraiya and others entered the Sunagakure camp, they were also cautious and did not attract the attention of the Demon Country.

They came here as a surprise attack force, used at the most critical moment.

If the ninjas from the Kingdom of Demons find traces at this time, it will also affect Sunagakure's subsequent layout.

The arrangement of the surprise attack is completely meaningless.

Jiraiya also knew the importance of the matter, so he nodded solemnly to Luosha.

After saying that, he, Takashi Sarutobi and Tsuruko Sarutobi used transformation techniques to transform into Suna Ninja according to Rasa's instructions.

Follow a Suna ninja to leave the tent and go to where the other Konoha ninjas are. Let them also use the transformation technique to change their original appearance and stay away from the upcoming battlefield to avoid getting caught in a fight and exposing their identities.

As the previous fireworks exploded in the night sky, it was the Sand Ninjas at the first line of defense who sent out a warning signal, proving that there was an enemy invasion.

Not long after, a second firework also exploded in the air.

The enemy broke through the second line of defense and rushed towards the headquarters.

Luo Sha, who was leading the headquarters of the Sand Ninjas to stand ready, looked slightly gloomy.

The action was too fast.

The enemy almost ignored the two lines of defense he had set up outside and directly attacked the headquarters.

So, from what direction is the enemy attacking? If you can ignore the two lines of defense in the outer circle, you can get the correct answer basically without thinking.

in the air.

Sure enough, in the sky above the second line of defense, two black shadows rushed towards the headquarters here like meteors at extremely fast speeds.

"Don't even think about it!"

Luo Sha clapped his hands and rushed forward. A single pedestal made of placer gold gathered under his feet and drifted rapidly into the air.

Behind him, a huge golden hand broke away from the shackles of the desert and grabbed the void in front of him, as if it was going to crush the body of the invading enemy.

Boom!

A dull scratching sound spread through the air.

The two figures deviated from their flight direction, one to the left and the other to the right. The golden sand fell partially from the sky, and the sand-gold hands grabbed a ball of air.

When Luo Sha saw that his attack failed, he was not discouraged. Instead, he dispersed small streams of gold from his hand, chasing towards one of the black shadows like a long, agile snake.

The alluvial gold snake moved in the air at an extremely fast speed, like golden lightning, and made a harsh scream as it rubbed against the air.

A light bullet appeared next to the pursued black shadow, and collided with it at a flying speed that was not weaker than the placer snake.

boom!

Intense firelight scattered in the air, and sand gold flew everywhere, completely shattered by the shock wave after the photobomb explosion.

Luo Sha looked intently and realized that the enemy appearing in the night sky was not a human being, but a mechanical humanoid whose entire body reflected metallic luster.

The red jade on its chest made a clear beeping sound, and its semicircular head, which looked simple and honest, also flashed red light, as if it was warning of danger.

"What's this?"

This was the first time Luo Sha had seen this strange mechanical creation.

No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't belong to the category of normal creatures.

The Kingdom of Ghosts can always create some weird fighting tools.

The tail gas of gradient colors was sprayed out from behind. Destroyer 001 seemed to be aware of the danger of Luo Sha, and moved to high altitude. During the transfer process, the air around it began to twist, and a large number of red light bombs appeared like phantoms, scattering flowers in the sky.

way, causing the light bombs to fall on the desert in an irregular manner.

Sand and soil were flying, people were flipping over, and the cloth tents burned in an instant.

The sand ninjas kept yelling and cursing, and they quickly took action against them.

The arrows are attached with detonating symbols, which push out the ballista, which can hit targets at ultra-long range, and point it high into the sky, aiming at Destroyer 001 to launch a counterattack.

A series of explosions produced an extremely brilliant sea of ​​fire, lighting up the night sky into daylight.

Tianyu Girl, who was separated from Destroyer 001, launched a raid towards the warehouse area where Sunagakure's headquarters was located.

A red scroll fell out of her white sleeves. Tianyu Nu did not hesitate to untie the rope and open the scroll.

The scroll is inscribed with dense incantations. Surrounded by a large number of incantations, there is an eye-catching word "fire" in the center.

The moment the scroll was opened, the word "fire" came into contact with the outside air and immediately burned, with the font flashing with the brilliance of flames.

Immediately, thin flames began to fill the air, seeming to ignite the void.

There was no movement on Tianyu Nu's face. A violent hurricane was generated around her, and at the same time, the flames spitting out of the void were also involved in the hurricane.

Like the exaggerated trend of a spark igniting a prairie fire, the hurricane turned red and spread from the sky to the endless sandy land below.

Led by the storm, the terrifying flames raged everywhere in the Sunagakure camp, swallowing up the warehouses storing supplies in the camp, and making the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas bleed.

The Sand Ninja stationed in the warehouse area was in a hurry for a while, but they still could not stop the spread of the flames.

Sunagakure, who was in a defensive state, originally had to take care of many aspects, and this was an extremely important warehouse area. Many of their violent methods were unable to be used and were restricted.

boom!

During the fire, some explosive items in the warehouse seemed to have detonated. There was a terrifying explosion, which caused the fire to spread faster. Some sand ninjas had no time to dodge and were swallowed up by the fire. When they escaped, their faces and bodies were covered with fire.

It was a black burn mark and his posture was awkward.

When Luo Sha saw this scene, she abandoned Destroyer 001 without even thinking and ran straight towards the warehouse area.

Placer gold gathered in the form of huge waves from all directions and rushed towards the warehouse area in an attempt to extinguish the fire burning in the warehouse area.
