Escape From Konoha

After afternoon tea, under the leadership of Ichihime, Ruri and Ayane came to the area where the mechanical troops used for actual combat exercises.

The exercise area is located in the plain area in the northwest of the country of ghosts. It is said to be a plain, but it is a vast wasteland in the plain area.

Withered and bitter sand and dust swept across the desolate land, the boundless land also stretched into the distance, and the huge snow-capped mountains located on the border of the Snow Country could be seen.

Around the vast wasteland, about tens of kilometers in radius, there are no people living there, and it belongs to the no-man's land controlled by the military.

Therefore, it is often used by the military of the country of ghosts and is often used for actual combat exercises.

Even the pre-formed air combat troops often come here to conduct actual combat training in this area.

In this wasteland, you can see many damaged buildings, as well as countless potholes caused by explosions, all of which are the remnants of actual combat exercises.

There are about 2,000 military ninjas stationed here. Of course, the number of soldiers in the country of ghosts does not only count the number of ninjas, but also includes non-ninja combat units, plus a large number of non-combat logistics personnel, the number is even larger.

And such military bases have been set up in the territory of the country of ghosts.

The sound of mechanical rolling and boiling began to sound from a long distance.

On the desolate plains where the ground is uneven, the rolling tracks firmly grasp the ground.

And while rolling, these tracked armored combat vehicles kept throwing up dust, making the ground tremble.

Its black steel body swept in like waves of rolling black waves.

It looks like a long barrel with powerful destructive power, and a hard steel armor that can defend against ninjutsu bombardment frontally.

Among them, there are also a small number of wheeled armored fighting vehicles, but compared with tracked armored fighting vehicles, this part of the armored fighting vehicles is slightly weaker in defense, and the attack is not a barrel, but a continuous Multiple muzzles that fire ammunition have an advantage in movement speed.

The total number of armored combat vehicles that drove into the wasteland plains was in the range of three to four hundred.

The momentum of advancing together is very ferocious. If it is the first time someone encounters it, it is likely to be frightened by this momentum.

"It looks quite imposing, but I don't know if the rolling steel can withstand the toss of the ninja war. I hope it won't be some kind of goods."

Ayane looked at these mechanized armored vehicles galloping like a black torrent, and smiled with great interest, but was not shaken by this level of momentum.

The reason why the air combat unit can quickly make a name in the ninja world and make it favored by various countries is that it buys a large number of flying ninja tools from the country of ghosts every year, which is widely recognized on the battlefield.

But even air combat troops, in many areas, are actually flawed.

For example, in areas with complex terrain, it is difficult to effectively annihilate the enemy.

Especially when it comes to those ninjas who can use the earth escape and drill into the earth, even if they cast the latest type of earth-penetrating bomb, it is impossible to pursue the earth escape ninja.

Therefore, in theory, the flexibility of the land combat mechanized unit, which is far less flexible than that of the air combat unit, needs to have certain reservations about what level it can show in actual combat, and it cannot be expected too early.

From what the naked eye can see, the mobility of this mechanized unit is obviously far inferior to that of the air combat unit.

"Try it and you'll know. But from the perspective of the outer armor, it shouldn't be difficult to block Ninjutsu such as the fireball without any damage."

Ruri nodded, she and Ayane had the same question.

In ninja battles, it is not uncommon to attach sharp chakras to kunai and cut through steel at will.

Basically a ninja with a certain foundation, using Chakra, can easily do this.

Therefore, it is not possible to start from the surface alone, thinking that this kind of sturdy-looking armored vehicle will definitely be able to block the attack of ninjas.

If the energy of chakra cannot be used efficiently, then no matter how strong it looks, in the eyes of ninjas, it is as light and brittle as a piece of paper.

After all, the steel that crawls and rolls on the ground can't carry people to fly like a flying ninja and carry out a pulling battle. Once approached on land, with the ninja's extraordinary maneuverability, as well as all kinds of strange ninjutsu, even if the genin is well prepared, he can easily fly a kite between these rolling steels.

Of course, everything depends on the actual departure.

If steel is dead, then how to use these mechanized weapons flexibly in the ninja war is something the commander needs to think about.

During the conversation, more than 300 armored combat vehicles stopped together in the wilderness.

The sand and dust rolled, and the pitch-black muzzle loomed in the thick dust, giving people a majestic and heavy sense of oppression.

Under the command of Ichiki, an armored fighting vehicle drove out of the queue and appeared at the front of the team.

Under the adjustment of the controller inside, the gun barrel was aimed straight at the double-layer cement house built on the mound, two kilometers ahead of the standard distance.

"let's start."

While calibrating the target at the muzzle, Kazuhime pointed at the ear strap type walkie-talkie and said something.

The armored chariots that drove out of the queue immediately burst into splendid fire at the muzzle position.

I saw the cannonball flying out of the muzzle, piercing the air at supersonic speed.

At the moment when the cannonball flew out, Liu Li pressed the stopwatch in her hand.

With a loud bang, the double-layer cement house on the mound two kilometers away exploded.

A small mushroom cloud shot up into the sky, burning violent flames, and a lot of black smoke.

This is a high-explosive bomb, suitable for blasting, and with strong visual effects, it can effectively deter the enemy's morale.

When the black smoke disappeared, the double-layer cement house disappeared on the mound, and the top of the hill seemed to be gouged out with a knife, and it went bald.

It is not difficult to imagine that the mound that was used as a target was instantly razed to the ground under the bombardment of a shell from an armored combat vehicle.

For this scene, Liuli and Ayane's eyes did not waver in the slightest. This power is not small, but it is definitely not exaggerated.

But considering this kind of thing, even non-ninja combat units can be controlled smoothly, so it is not an exaggeration to give a pass or even a good evaluation.

Lucy glanced at the stopwatch in her hand.

"Four and a half seconds, the speed of the cannonball reaches more than 400 meters per second, the speed of the cannonball is very fast, and it has exceeded the reaction ability of a considerable number of ninjas... But there is a delay in firing the cannonball, and the revolving of the muzzle requires time to prepare... Well, for these weak points place, make improvements.”

After thinking about it, Liuli came to this conclusion.

"Even so, this is not a job that can be completed in a short time. I don't think it is necessary to be too harsh... How is the defensive performance? Have you tried it?"

Ayane looked at Kazuhime.

Kazuhime gestured to the ninja on the side of the country with her eyes.

This ghost country ninja is wearing black chakra armor. Compared with the first-generation chakra armor, the chakra armor currently used by the ghost country military is lighter and thinner, and has better defensive performance. The ability to absorb chakra allows the wearing ninja to fight for a long time.

I saw him pulling out the standard ninja sword in his hand, but it was slightly longer than the regular standard ninja sword. With the operation of chakra, the sharp breath instantly wrapped the blade, and he walked to the armored vehicle that drove out of the queue. Next to the chariot, he took a deep breath and swung his arms vigorously.

A long and narrow knife mark was directly printed on the hard outer steel plate, which was clearly visible.

"This armored fighting vehicle uses armor with a thickness of 180 mm and is attached with wind-type chakra ninja tools. Generally speaking, it can cut into a depth of 60 to 80 mm."

Kazuhime explained on the side.

"That is to say, if you encounter a ninja who specializes in thrusting, there is still a risk of being penetrated?"

"That's right... But the ninjas who can do this are either the best in the chunin or the jōnin. According to our military's standards, these ninjas account for about 100% of the total number of ninjas. Between five and ten percent."

Kazuhime used the ninja of the land of ghosts as an example.

After all, Shangnin is already a leader in the ninja class, and the destructive power they can cause is definitely on top of armored combat vehicles, and they also have more flexible mobility.

Of course, compared to the Shinobi, the armored fighting vehicle is not without its advantages.

The attack distance, as well as the attack range formed by the shells, are far beyond conventional ninjutsu. In terms of fire suppression, it is definitely better than the regular ninja troops. And without consuming chakra, before the fuel burns out, it can tirelessly become a meat grinder on the battlefield, which is an advantage over the weak flesh and blood.

"Can't the thickness of the armor be increased?"

Liu Li was still not satisfied with the armor of this thickness.

In her opinion, she could pierce through this thickness of armor with a single blow, and even split the car and the man in half with a single swing of Susanoh.

"Yes, but you can't have both. If you continue to increase the thickness of the armor, it means that the mobility will be sacrificed. At least from the current point of view, if you want to balance armor and mobility, it is not technically supported. And if you sacrifice more In exchange for defensive armor, it will completely become a living target in the eyes of ninjas."

Ichiki shook his head.

Previously, the scientists of the Ghost Country military had devoted their energy to the transformation of flying ninja tools and marine warships.

To a large extent, it depends on the technological order of the sky country.

Flying ninjas and aircraft carriers are not reinvented from scratch.

The mechanized armored combat vehicles used for land warfare are completely from scratch, so they look a bit bulky. For ninjas with special abilities, 180mm thick steel armor may also be as thin as paper.

Therefore, to use the most pertinent words to evaluate, is satisfactory, but not completely satisfactory.

"It seems that the mechanized army is completely formed, and it still needs a difficult journey to go. It must be combined with the ninja's high-mobility combat method to be perfect. However, it can have such a high destructive power, and it is separated by such a The long-distance attack is not completely good, and it is more powerful than I originally imagined."

Ayane won't be as harsh as Ruri.

The advantages and disadvantages of armored combat vehicles compared to ninja troops are very obvious.

But in fact, there is no need to pursue perfection. After all, these shortcomings of armored combat vehicles can be avoided by adopting reasonable tactics.

"That's right, the mechanized troop here is just an initial model, and its combat methods have not been tested on the real battlefield. Therefore, new weapons and equipment will be developed in the future to match this troop. Wait until then. , it can be regarded as a truly qualified strong army.”

Ichiki also said.

She is very optimistic about the prospects of mechanized troops.

"Since this is the case, put this mechanized unit into the actual combat exercise with ninjas as soon as possible. It is meaningless to simply target. It is necessary to obtain further detailed actual combat data."

Liuli only believes in the results brought by actual combat. Although the power of target shooting is surprising, in reality, the enemy will not stand on the spot like a target, standing still and let people attack.

Theoretical data is not to be trusted, and it is a matter of course when the theory is not transformed into a force visible to the naked eye.

"Then find a buyer, get some out and let them test it for us."

Ayane suddenly suggested.

Compared with exercises, it is easier to obtain data in real wars, and these data are more real and reliable than exercises.

Moreover, it is not the first time that the country of ghosts has done this. Today's international situation is tense, and all countries have great demands for military power.

"There is a high probability that it will not work. Few countries have launched wars recently, and even small countries have begun to weaken. Even if conflicts occur, they are only resolved by peaceful diplomatic means."

Liuli shook her head, not optimistic about this proposal.

Although the country of ghosts has made a lot of money over the years through the sale of arms, the war cannot continue forever.

Many small countries have begun to recharge their batteries and have no intention of expanding externally for the time being.

When encountering a daimyo who is incompetent, the whole country is directly drunk with life and dreams.

When encountering a shrewd daimyo, they all began to actively look to the great powers, expand their armaments, and invest funds in the military field to prevent them from being embezzled by outsiders when they encounter wars in the future.

Moreover, if the actual combat of the armored combat vehicle is not satisfactory to even one's own people, then as a buyer, naturally, he will not foolishly take the money out of his pocket.

"Then let's secretly find suitable buyers while conducting practical exercises."

Seeing the disagreement between the two, Yiji learned from her own old man and made a compromise.

Although she often complained about the old man's low status at home, considering the terrifying force of these two women, Yiji felt that the old man's approach was still worthwhile.

She doesn't want this 'little mother' to put on her own shoes, besides, Ayane only has a little opinion on her mother... But what does it have to do with her if she has an opinion on her mother?

She didn't want to deal with such troublesome things.

If something really happened, it would be a solution to push the old man out and get caught by these two people.

"Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you."

Ruri and Ayane looked at each other, then looked at Kazuhime, almost in unison.

"?"

Kazuhime felt that something was not quite right.

Why yourself again?

"Wait, it should take a while for the old man to come back. I'll do everything, so what do you do?"

Ruri and Ayane were stopped by her question, and they tilted their heads in confusion.

"Cultivation? Shopping?"

"Tea party? Hot springs?"

Hearing this, Kazuhime smiled.

Give me two dead old wives to die! Kazuki was filled with dark feelings that wanted to destroy everything.

◎

The country of Tian, ​​the village of sound and ninja.

It is said to be an underground training ground, but the ground is actually very rough. It is a huge cave that has been dug out deeply. The air inside is humid and cold.

Especially in the dark, there is a strange smell that makes people vomit from time to time, it is a fishy stench.

"It only took less than a week...how is this possible..."

In front of Sasuke, four figures fell in a row.

One of them is Kidoumaru, who first received him.

A member of the four people of Yinin, he has the strength to make Shangren also have a headache.

The rest of the three also fell to the ground, and they didn't even have the strength to raise their fingers. Obviously, like Kitomaru, they belonged to the four members of the Tonin family.

At this moment, they are all struggling to prop up their bodies from the ground, and their eyes are full of shock when they look at Sasuke.

Even Guitong Maru, who was the first to receive Sasuke, had a look of loneliness and helplessness on his face at this moment.

As the bodyguards of Orochimaru, the leader of the sound ninja, they were completely defeated by a ninja two years younger than them.

Although it cannot be said that they are powerless to fight back, they were still defeated when the four of them joined forces, which is enough to explain part of the problem.

The curse marks on Sasuke's face and body began to fade.

The pair of fleshy wings on the back, similar to eagle paws, also retracted into the muscles on the back, revealing only two holes in the clothes.

The pale long hair also reversed growth, began to shorten, and the hair color became normal black.

A pair of three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes exudes a biting chill, and it seems that staring at it may cause the blood to freeze.

Sasuke glanced at the palm of his hand, as if feeling this new experience, he clenched his fist subconsciously, and then used the red writing wheel to sweep the four people who fell in front of him, especially Guitong Maru. Sneering colors.

"In this way, your strength does not seem to be particularly great."

Guitong Maru opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but then he sighed even more lonely, and lowered his once proud head.

Because he never imagined that, just by telling him a little about the trick to control state two, the other party would be able to use it in a very short time, and the proficiency and duration were even better than those of them who had been immersed in state two for more than two years. .

Is this guy really human? Kitomaru couldn't help feeling chills at Sasuke's talent.

He somewhat understands why Orochimaru values ​​this orphan of Uchiha so much.

As long as he is guided in the right way, he has the talent to quickly turn his potential into strength.

Moreover, his extreme thirst for power proves that in the process of pursuing power, he is not only persistent, but also will not be defeated by any difficulties.

This is the 'target' that Mr. Orochimaru dreams of! Guidoumaru is lost and regretful.

"Damn, a mere brat is so arrogant!"

One person suddenly burst out and punched Sasuke again.

Although it was true that he was defeated, he knew that Sasuke was not unscathed, at least half of Chakra was consumed.

If there is a surprise attack, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"Wait, near you!"

It was too late for Kitomaru to stop it.

Sasuke's fist was swiftly swung towards Sasuke.

Sasuke didn't waver at Sakin's fist that was thrown at him.

In an instant, Zuo Jin's body froze, and his fist stopped in front of Sasuke with a slight gap.

"Body...how...illusion...when..."

Nearly unbelievable.

The red writing wheel eyes that suddenly opened in the darkness in front of him released a coquettish and strange power, binding his body in place, unable to move a step.

However, it is only right to avoid the eyes of the writing wheel. Zuo Jin did not know where the error occurred.

"You Jin, hurry up and interrupt this illusion for me!"

Although he didn't know how he got the illusion, Zuo Jin turned his head to the head-like object behind him and shouted loudly.

However, the head behind him did not respond to him for a long time.

"Idiot, this is an illusion released through touch, and even the other guy in your body is disturbed by the illusion..."

She finally lifted her body from the ground, the orange-red long-haired girl, although she looked cute, her tone of voice was extremely bad, with a sarcastic tone.

With a broken flute in her hand, she stared at Sasuke with embarrassed eyes.

As an illusion-type ninja, it is really a shame to be defeated by the opponent's illusion.

This also proves that her illusion is not strong enough.

Need to get stronger!

"You bastard!"

After the girl's explanation, Zuo Jin suddenly understood and glared at Sasuke.

"It's really insidious, there is a kind of despicable tricks like don't use illusions to fight!"

Sasuke didn't say much about Zukin's idiot-like provocation, and kicked Zukin's chin.

Boom!

Zuo Jin is in a head-up position, like a cannonball bombarding out.

As the dust spread, the fragments of the rock fell off, and the entire head was embedded in the rock above the cave, stuck there, and after a few swings of the body, it lost its movement.

grunt!

The other three suddenly swallowed their saliva.

Is this guy going to beat people to death?

If you're not careful, you can kick someone's head.

"You seem to lack the respect I deserve..."

After Sasuke said these words, Kitomaru and the other two immediately corrected their attitudes, knelt down on one knee, and lowered their once proud heads to Sasuke.

"Master Sasuke."

The coldness in Sasuke's writing wheel's eyes dissipated a lot.

"You introduced yourself at the beginning, I didn't hear it clearly, let's say it again now."

"Yes." Guitong Maru didn't hesitate, and said his name again: "My name is Guitong Maru, and from today onwards, I will be the bodyguard of Lord Sasuke!"

"...Tao Yuya."

The girl who looks cute but doesn't speak in a cute voice also reported her name, but there was still a hint of unwillingness hidden in the depths of her eyes.

"My name is Jirofang. If you can buy me ten bags of potato chips imported from the country of ghosts every day, I will hang out with you."

The third person was a fat man who was no weaker than Qiu Dao's ninja, and said this sentence silently. While following Sasuke, he made his request at the same time.

Although his physique is relatively flamboyant, his tone of voice and unexpected duty make him an honest fat man.

"What about this guy above?"

Refers to the guy whose head is stuck in the rock.

"He is called Zuojin, and there is a younger brother called Youjin in his body. Although he is the same body, he has two different consciousnesses. The supply system of chakra also exists independently. Therefore, using illusion to control one of them will be released by the other. Just control them both at the same time as you did just now."

Guitong Maru introduced Sasuke, and at the same time revealed the characteristics of the other party, and did not dare to hide it at all.

"Although your strength is so-so, I see your potential in the future. You should follow me in the future."

Sasuke is not discussing with them, but an order.

In terms of age, these four people are only one or two years older than him.

At this age, he has the ability to make Jōnin feel difficult. In the foreseeable future, it is inevitable that the four of them will reach the Jōnin level, and even further, it is not impossible.

And the four of them are basically the most high-end combat personnel in Yinin Village.

In Yinin Village, there are only a handful of people who are stronger than the four of them.

"Yes."

Without refuting, the three immediately agreed.

popping.

The sound of applause came from behind.

Sasuke turned sideways and swept towards the tall and thin figure walking out of the shadows.

"Master Orochimaru!"

Except for Zuo Jin, the three of them trembled and lowered their heads, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, they did not dare to breathe loudly.

Orochimaru, who came out of the shadows, did not intend to see all the previous scenes in his eyes, with an intriguing smile on his face, and did not look at the three Guitongmaru who were kneeling there waiting to be punished.

Or for him, the mood of the loser is no longer something he considers.

Because Sasuke is better than them.

This alone is enough!

Therefore, in his pair of golden vertical pupils, only Sasuke can be accommodated now.

"The power of the curse mark~www.readwn.com~ I have mastered it. Next, I need to practice further, Orochimaru, please arrange for me quickly."

Sasuke did not have any awe of Orochimaru, and demanded Orochimaru in an equal tone.

"Hehe, Sasuke-kun, you are truly an amazing talent, even better than I imagined. It seems that the plan for your cultivation should indeed change the process."

A hoarse laughter came from Orochimaru's mouth.

The cracked mouth is exaggerated like a snake's mouth, evil and cold.

The pair of golden snake pupils also gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Sasuke didn't seem to care about the greedy eyes in Orochimaru's eyes that seemed to invade his own, and looked at him calmly.

"In addition, I heard Kakashi say, you and the Itachi guy are working in the same organization... I need his information, his purpose, the ability to write a kaleidoscope, and whether there is still a connection with Konoha's **** high-level , the more information on this, the better!”

Hearing Sasuke say this, the smile on Orochimaru's face became even bigger.
