Skills from HokageEdit

"The appearance of this kind of puppet is no longer specially treated hardened wood, but a layer of extremely hard metal half a meter thick."

"And, this kind of puppet no longer uses ninja tools such as Kunai, Qianben, or detonating charms as long-range attacks."

"It's a kind of condensed wind group that spews out from the metal pipe, similar to the enlarged version of wind escape ninjutsu."

"At the same time, based on the descriptions of ninjas who survived on the battlefield, as well as my short research, I discovered some of its shortcomings."

"First of all, because the size of this puppet is huge, the nine puppet masters who need to control each use a seal scroll to carry a part of the puppet body, and temporarily assemble it before the battle."

"And, according to its performance on the battlefield, it can be judged that this kind of puppet consumes a lot of money."

"It is often necessary to stop in place for more than ten minutes after fighting for an hour."

"Perhaps in order not to hinder the giant puppet's movement, the defense of some joints on the giant puppet's body is weaker than other places."

"........."

"The above is all the information I have summarized about the new type of sand ninja puppets."

"I hope it can attract enough attention from Nara Jonin."

"Finally, if you can, say hello to my three incompetent disciples for me."

"Sender: Orochimaru."

"Konoha 36/February/2th, four o'clock in the morning."

...............

"Report, the letter has been deciphered."

Holding the letter in his hand, Jonin flipped through the small paper back and forth, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he stood up straight and looked at Nara Shiruhito.

After the Jonin deciphered the letter sent by Orochimaru, a strange silence fell into the camp.

The expression on everyone's face is very dignified, feeling troubled by Sand Shinobi's new puppet.

In the tent, only Shen Yun had a slightly different mood. When he heard the "giant puppet" described in Dashemaru's letter, he inexplicably felt a strange sense of sight.

"TMD, Gundam!"

Chapter 112 Well, This Is Indeed a Puppet

"Isn't this Pure Gundam?"

Standing next to Nara Luren, Shen Yun couldn't find peace in his heart.

"In the original book, does Sand Ninja have such a giant puppet?"

Holding his chin, while other people in the camp were still receiving information about the new sand ninja puppet, Shen Yun hurriedly recalled it.

"This kind of giant puppet has never appeared in Shayin Village in the original book."

"But..." Shen Yun pondered for a moment, remembering a Naruto theatrical version of the story. "The Lost Tower, Anlu Mountain, Dragon Vein, Giant Puppet..."

Shaking his head, Shen Yun said, "That's not right. Even if An Lushan really exists, Dragon Veins and the ancient Loulan Kingdom really exist, it has nothing to do with the giant puppets that appeared in Sand Ninja."

After thinking for a long time, Shen Yun couldn't come up with a result. Turning his perspective, he found Nara Luren's Ninja World map spread out on the table in the center of the camp.

"Loulan..., if it really exists, it should not be destroyed at this time."

With a thought in his heart, Shen Yun took a few steps to the table where the ninja world map was spread out, and glanced over.

In his memory, the so-called surroundings of Loulan are all deserts. Shen Yun also turned his attention to the surroundings of the country of sand at this time, looking for the name of Loulan.

After searching for a while, Shen Yun withdrew his gaze, already determined in his heart.

The so-called Loulan ancient country does not exist, at least the name Loulan does not appear on the most complete map of the ninja world.

Where did the giant puppet of sand ninja come from?Why is it never described in the original book?

Is it possible that the wings of his butterfly fan can reach Sand Ninja Village?

It's not scientific either...

………………

In the tent, Nara Luren sighed very much.

"I didn't expect that the war has reached the level it is now, and Sand Ninja is still hiding a hand."

"It should be that Sand Ninja Village developed this giant puppet recently." Shen Yun, who was still standing by the table, said without turning his head when he heard Nara Luren's words:

"After all, this war has been fought for four years, and none of the ninja villages participating in the war suffered heavy losses."

After saying this, Shen Yun turned around and looked at Nara Luren who was frowning and thinking.

"What's more, the number of ninjas in Sand Ninja Village is the lowest among the five major ninja villages, so they should feel more distressed about the damage to their own ninjas."

"Yes, that's right." Nodding, Nara Luren approved Shen Yun's idea.

"Indeed, if sand ninjas had this new type of puppets from the very beginning of the war, it would be impossible for them to remain indifferent to the soaring ninja casualties on the frontline battlefield."

Having said that, Nara Luren looked at Shen Yun.

"After all, for a ninja village, only ninjas are the foundation of a ninja village."

"Even this new type of puppets emerging on the battlefield today needs ninjas to control them, doesn't it?"

"That's right." Hearing Nara Luren's words, Shen Yun nodded in agreement.

After all, the ninja world is a world with extraordinary power, and the upper limit of personal force can reach an extremely high level. Basically, no ninja village will relax the cultivation of its own ninjas.

Including the current and future Sand Ninja Village.

After all, a giant puppet needs nine puppet masters to control it together, and the number of puppet masters in Sand Ninja Village is no more than a thousand at most.

Now that Sand Ninja has a weapon of war like a giant puppet, it is foreseeable that Sand Ninja will pay special attention to the cultivation of puppet masters in the future.

You know, the puppeteer uses the chakra line formed by the condensed chakra to fight, which is naturally a kind of ninja.

"Okay, it's meaningless to talk about it now." In the camp, Nara Luren's voice sounded.

"It has nothing to do with us when the giant puppets of Sand Ninja were developed. We just need to think about what impact these giant puppets will have on the war that was originally coming to an end."

After finishing speaking, Nara Luren bypassed Shen Yun, walked to the round table in the middle of the tent where the ninja world map was placed, raised his head to look at Shen Yun, and motioned for him to come over.

Taking a few steps forward, Shen Yun walked up to Nara Luren, and looked at the ninja world map on the round table with him.

"Here is our current location." Nara Luren looked at the map, and after observing for a while, stretched out his finger to point at the map.

"Oshemaru was attacked by a team led by Chiyo in the early hours of yesterday. According to the original plan, it should have been attacked in this area."

Immediately afterwards, after thinking about it, Nara Luren drew an area on the map.

Shen Yun had been standing next to Nara Luren, and when he saw the attack range of Orochimaru drawn out by him, he immediately nodded in agreement.

As one of the three commanders of the planned three teams, he roughly knows the route of the other two teams. According to his estimation, Orochimaru also encountered Chiyo in this area.

The specific location is about southwest of the center of the Land of Rain, which is closer to the victorious Rain Ninja Battlefield than the Sand Ninja Battlefield.

Nara Luren was silent, and after a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head to look at Shen Yun beside him, and said:

"On the morning of three days ago, I also received information that Chiyo was entangled with Bai Fang at the Iwanin front line in the north of the Land of Rain. I didn't expect to cross half of the Land of Rain in the early morning of the next day and attack the team led by Orochimaru."

Hearing this, Shen Yun was taken aback.

"It takes less than ten hours to cross half of the Land of Rain, such a quick march..."

Frowning deeply, Shen Yun said:

"I'm afraid that when Sand Shinobi attacked Teacher Orochimaru's team, he was actually just exhausted from the rapid march."

"Is that kind of giant puppet so strong?"

Seeing the frown on Shen Yun's face, Nara Luren shook his head.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, but don't exaggerate the enemy too much."

"Although this kind of giant puppet is indeed very strong, it is comparable to the multiple Jnin in terms of intelligence alone."

"But you have to be clear, the result that caused nearly half of Orochimaru's current team damage is not only because of the power of this new type of puppet."

Having said that, Nara Shiruhito lowered his head and closed his eyes.

"I have to bear most of the responsibility for such a result."

"Because the Orochimaru team has the longest distance, it takes more than half of the country of rain to reach the rear of the sand ninja main force and join us."

"But Orochimaru's team has to arrive at the meeting point at the same time as us, and the error cannot exceed two hours."

"At the same time, according to my judgment, Orochimaru's forward route should be very safe, because of the impact of the war, there will be few animals."

"So, under my order, Orochimaru's team has been marching at full speed, and can only take a good rest every few days."

"When Chiyo was attacked, in fact, all Konoha ninjas, including Orochimaru, had gone through several days of rapid march and were already very tired."

"Under such circumstances, Orochimaru was attacked by a thousand sand ninjas, plus dozens of giant puppets, which caused the team to lose nearly half."

Chapter 113 The dawn of the end of the war

After Nara Luren said these words, his tone paused.

"Moreover, as the commander of the sand ninja front appointed by Naruto-sama, I should have had many opportunities to prevent such losses from happening."

As he spoke, Nara Luren listed these opportunities one by one.

"As long as I can see the hidden backhand in Sand Ninja Village in time, I can be more cautious because of Chiyo's disappearance in the Iwanin Battlefield for a day, and I don't rashly issue rush marching orders because there are no people on the way to Orochimaru......... ..."

Nara Shiruhito closed his eyes and said, "If I could have noticed something wrong from these details at the time, I would have been able to prevent the loss of Orochimaru's team in time."

"The seven hundred Konoha ninjas would not have died so hastily."

"Boom!"

Taking stock of all his previous mistakes in decision-making, Nara Shiruhito felt more and more ashamed and unwilling, and slapped his hands on the round table in front of him on which the ninja world map was placed.

Seeing this situation, Shen Yun and the others in the tent looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, Nara Jonin, please calm down, no one wants to cause the current result."

In the end, it was Shen Yun who stepped forward to speak.

He walked up to Nara Luren, and said in a slightly serious voice:

"Besides, now is not the time to think about these things."

"Chiyo has led more than 1000 sand ninjas, more than 500 puppet masters, and the remaining dozens of giant puppets towards the main force of sand ninjas."

"Once Chiyo and the remaining sand ninja main force join together, the two thousand ninjas we stay on the front line will definitely not be able to stop the sand ninja attack."

"If we don't think of a way to make arrangements, the advantage we have accumulated with great difficulty through successive victories will disappear directly."

"Even, the Iwanin battlefield on the other side of the country of rain will be implicated by us and become more difficult."

Said, Shen Yun frowned.

"In this case, the situation of Konoha in the Land of Rain will be dragged down by us."

"That's right..." Nara Luren heard Shen Yun's words, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "The mistakes of the past cannot be undone, but the deployment must not be wrong again."

After speaking, Nara Luren thought for a moment, then looked at Shen Yun.

"The situation on the front line is not so bleak."

"Didn't Orochimaru lead the remaining ninjas back to the sand ninja front?"

"With Orochimaru leading the front line of ninjas, at least the defense line will not be easily broken by Sand Ninja."

"However." Nara Luren looked down at the table in front of him, stared at the map and said, "We can't take it lightly because we don't know the cost and operation difficulty of a giant puppet like Sand Ninja."

"If they release more than 100 giant puppets of that kind at one time, plus there are now nearly 4000 sand ninjas on the front line, it is absolutely impossible for the three thousand Konoha ninjas led by Orochimaru to stop the sand ninja attack."

After thinking for a while, Shen Yun looked at Nara Shirohito, and tentatively said: "Since Mr. Orochimaru has led his team back to the sand ninja front by the same route, the original plan should no longer be completed."

"How about we take the two thousand Konoha ninjas here to directly attack the rear of the sand ninja main force?"

"Yes, but...not good enough!" Nara Luren shook his head after thinking about it, denying Shen Yun's idea.

"Chiyo attacked Orochimaru this time, leading not only the puppet division troops, but also more than 1000 sand ninjas."

He turned to Shen Yun and asked, "Do you know what this means?"

Before Shen Yun could answer, Nara Luren gave the answer directly.
