The Land of Wind is the largest of the five major ninja countries, but its economic strength is the weakest among them.
Because although the area is large, most of the land is occupied by the desert, resulting in low productivity.
The people built villages in the desert oasis, and the population wasn't poor. After the Five Kage Summit many years ago, the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire had a lot of trade, so the economy has improved.
But in the period before the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War, the relationship between the five major ninja countries was tense, and this trade was forcibly interrupted. Today, the economy of the entire Land of Wind has been damaged.
Looking at the endless desert, the wind whistled, rolling up the dust.
Rustle!
More than two thousand Wood Leaf Ninjas moved forward in the desert, neither too fast nor too slow.
On the battlefield of the Land of Rain, Wood Leaf Ninjas completely took the initiative and disdained to invade other countries.
It's just that the Sunagakure troops used despicable means twice, which made Sandaime Naruto unable to bear it anymore.
Therefore, this war, instead of attacking other countries, is to show the majesty of Wood Leaf Ninja Village, which is at the top of the five major ninja countries.
If a country, especially a major country, doesn't maintain its majesty, it will be regarded as weak by other countries.
This is absolutely not allowed to happen.
This time, Hyuga Tianqi not only brought more than two thousand ninjas, but also enough materials for more than two thousand people to fight a protracted war. Unlike the time in the Land of Rain, this time the front line is longer.
As the war continues to advance, deep into the Land of Wind, transporting supplies is extremely difficult.
Gradually, the night deepened.
In the vast desert, groups of flames lit up.
In the temporary headquarters tent, Watergate handed a scroll of information he just received from the toad of Mount Myoboku to Tsunade and then retreated.
Tsunade directly spread the scroll on the table in front of him, with the eyesight of Sho Sho, Orochimaru, and others, it wasn't difficult to read from all angles.
When Xiang Tianqi, Tsunade, and the others finished reading the contents of the scroll, there was a slight fluctuation in their eyes.
It was written on the scroll that Kumo Shinobu's troops had crossed the desolate Gobi Desert and invaded the Earth Kingdom.
The Sandai Tsuchikage seemed to have expected this, and the Rock Army set up a defensive line on the border. Because of the geographical advantage, they were able to block Kumo Shinobu.
The Ninja forces of the two countries clashed here, and even though the Rock was prepared, they still failed.
This wasn't surprising, after all, even Tsuchiaki was buried in the Rain Country. Even if the Rock didn't have only one elite, they were still weak compared to Kumo Shinobu, who didn't participate in the Rain Country.
Moreover, it seems that the Third Raikage's son also shined in the battle against the Rock, killing many of their members.
"It's good news for us that the Rock and Kumo Shinobu are entangled."
Orochimaru said with a smile. Although this result was expected by many people, the Rock's defeat was too fast.
In just a few days, the Rock were defeated in their own territory, allowing Kumo Shinobu to control the border.
Once this happens, Kumogakure can continuously send troops to launch a full-scale attack on the Earth Country.
"Sandai Tsuchikage is probably angry in his office right now." Hyuga Tianqi smiled faintly and said: "I'm afraid he hates Konoha to the bone now."
Tsunade and the others annihilated the Rock's elite troops, which was a big reason for the Rock's defeat.
"Let him hate. In this situation, no matter how much Onoki hates, he has to suppress his anger."
Tsunade didn't care, the Rock didn't have the upper hand in the battle against Kumo Shinobu, and it's impossible for them to provoke Wood Leaf.
The entanglement of these two countries means that Wood Leaf's troops don't have to worry about the situation in the Rain Country and the Fire Country.
...
The next day, Wood Leaf's troops were ready to set off.
The journey was very smooth, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Sand's reconnaissance team.
"Are the Sand's people so timid? The previous sneak attack in the Rain Country is fine, but now they're at home, and they don't dare to come out and fight! "Shinji, who was at the back of the team, said with contempt.
If it weren't for Watergate, he would've died in the hands of the Sand's Ninjas. But after thinking about it, it was because he was too impulsive and overestimated himself.
He wasn't qualified to fight against a Jonin, but Shinji, who has always loved Wood Leaf, couldn't understand the situation of the Ninja Village being invaded by other countries.
Even if he was in Wood Leaf, he was the invader.
At this time, Surou, Akimichi Choza, and the others beside him seemed to agree with his words.
"You don't really think that the Sand's leaders are afraid of fighting, so they didn't resist Wood Leaf's troops, right?"
Shihisa, who was in the team, sneered at their naive thoughts and shook his head with a smile.
"Isn't that the case?" Surou asked.
"Of course not, the opponent is one of the five major ninja countries. Although Wood Leaf sent a lot of strong people and more than 2,000 troops this time, they aren't weak enough to be scared by this force."
Shihisa chuckled and said, "It's not that the Sand didn't resist, it's just that they don't want to do something meaningless. You all saw it yesterday, we traveled more than 100 kilometers in a straight line in the desert. How big is the desert?"
"In such a large desert, guarding against more than 2,000 ninjas is just a waste of effort." Hyuga Hiashi immediately understood after listening to Nara Shikaku's words.
Lu Jiu tacitly agreed with him and nodded.
"I advise you not to participate in the war with such naive thoughts. If you underestimate the enemy, you will lose your life."
Shihisa reminded everyone. He was usually lazy to do this kind of thing, but he saw that Shinji, who had experienced war, was still so naive, so he spoke.
"Thank you." Mikoto thanked him.
At this moment, Watergate, who was in the front of the team, also heard a conversation that happened at the same time, and he couldn't help but smile.
What Shihisa pointed out was exactly what he was worried about.
Although Wood Leaf's troops are now in the winning position, the most taboo on the battlefield is to underestimate the opponent.
And this genius from the Nara clan, even if he hasn't experienced war, still saw through this.
