In the Land of Earth, in the southeast of several small countries, there was an endless mountain range. Behind this mountain range, in the territory of the Land of Earth, there was a large area of plateau wasteland and scattered rocky hills.
The natural environment of the Land of Earth was better than the Land of Wind in the west. Just like the Land of Wind, the natural environment of the Land of Earth was the reason why they wanted to invade the Land of Fire.
The frontline camp of the Rock Village was located on the highest mountain near the border between the two countries.
In the center of the camp, in a spacious tent, the Rock Shinobi who attacked the Wood Leaf defense line was reporting the latest information to his superior.
Unlike Konoha's Sand Village, the leader of the Rock Village in the front line wasn't a young ninja, but the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
Onoki's appearance was easy to recognize, but the most eye-catching thing about him was his short stature and the big nose in the middle of his face.
In the commander's tent, Onoki was wearing a tight black combat uniform. The shoulders and chest of the combat uniform were equipped with gray laminated armor, and his arms and calves were equipped with net-like wrist guards. The upper part was a red cloth, and the lower part was an independent green strip vest.
"… In the raid, our explosives team lost two Jonins, more than half of our Chunin, and one of them was an elite Jonin with the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai …"
Onoki, who was listening to his subordinate's report without any expression, raised his eyebrows when he heard that the explosives team lost so much.
Hearing that an elite Jonin with the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai had died, the calm expression on Onoki's face could no longer be maintained. His two small round eyes closed, and when he opened them again, he was staring straight at his subordinates in front of him.
Onoki didn't use any ninjutsu, but his short stature floated up as if he was weightless, and he quickly flew in front of his subordinate who was reporting, until his big nose almost touched his subordinate's forehead.
Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique.
Taught by Onoki's master, the second Tsuchikage, the enhanced version of Earth Release: Light Weight Rock Technique can greatly reduce the weight of matter, reduce the weight of oneself, and increase one's speed, allowing one to fly freely in the air.
The third Tsuchikage, Onoki, is one of the few ninjas who can fly freely in the sky.
When Kato Mitsukaze developed the Light Wind Jutsu, it was based on the concept of Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Jutsu.
Super Light Weight Rock Jutsu is an Earth Attribute Ninjutsu, which uses the gravity of objects. Light Wind Jutsu is a Wind Attribute Ninjutsu, which uses the blowing force of the wind.
Moreover, Super Light Weight Rock Jutsu is a secret Jutsu of the Rock Hidden Jutsu. Others simply can't get their hands on it. Kato Mitsukaze also didn't get his hands on it. He has been thinking about this Jutsu for a long time.
Onoki suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to ask in a calm tone.
"Such a meticulous plan, led by five Jonins of the Rock Village, followed by more than thirty elite Chunins, and covered by the harsh weather of the Rain Country. The initial surprise attack was also successful, but now you're telling me that we lost so many people?"
"You, are, playing, with, the, old, man?"
When he said the last sentence, Onoki said it almost word by word.
At this time, although Onoki was nearly fifty years old, he was still at the peak of his strength.
With Onoki's last sentence, his invisible pressure began to be released. Some small stones and dust on the ground in the tent floated in the air like Onoki's body, and then gathered around Onoki, condensing into a brown rock ball.
"Tsuchikage-sama …"
The Rock Shinobi who was in the middle of his report couldn't even speak a few words, he couldn't continue.
It's not that he didn't want to say it, but the pressure of Onoki's Kage level strength made him unable to speak.
Outsiders say that the 3rd Tsuchikage Onoki is stubborn and protective of his own people. Only those who are younger than Onoki know how strict Onoki's requirements for them are, to the point that they are harsh.
The mission of attacking the Wood Leaf defense line was going well according to plan, but who would have thought that the Wood Leaf defense line would be attacked by a Kage level Ninja, and the Rock Hidden Army would lose their elite members.
They really can't explain it to Onoki.
Drops of cold sweat the size of soybeans condensed on the temples of the Rock Shinobi. The entire tent was shrouded in Onoki's aura. The other Rock Shinobi in the tent were also silent, not daring to make a sound.
Onoki didn't retract his pressure, he just stared at the subordinate in front of him, waiting for him to speak.
Onoki didn't expect him to give a strong reason, he just hoped that the subordinate in front of him would speak under his pressure.
After a long time, Onoki didn't hear the answer he wanted, he closed his eyes in disappointment, the rock ball floating beside him also fell to the ground, smashing the ground with gravel and dust.
Of course, Onoki didn't want to show off his majesty as a Tsuchikage in front of his subordinates. He was disappointed because in this tent full of subordinates, no one could speak under his pressure.
Onoki is the Third Hokage, Yuanfei RIzhan, and the Three Generations Of Kazekage.
As far as Onoki knows, Wood Leaf and Sand Village already have young ninjas who can stand on their own, but the Rock Village doesn't have any young ninjas who can compete with the other two countries.
Otherwise, why would Onoki, the Third Generation Tsuchikage, personally sit in the front line? Isn't it because the Rock Village has a lot of talented people after his generation?
Isn't it better to sit in the rear like the Hokage and Kazekage?
Onoki has a stubborn and tough personality, but he is not a war maniac, nor is he a musclehead Raikage.
After Onoki retracted his pressure, it took a long time for the Rock Shinobi, who couldn't speak a moment ago, to finally tell Onoki about how they were stopped by Konoha's Shinobi behind them.
"He's good at using wind release ninjutsu, especially wind blades."
"He's extremely fast, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Ordinary Chunin can't see his speed at all. Every time he appears on the battlefield, there will be an invisible wind blade that will take the lives of ordinary Chunin."
"When the five of us noticed that something was wrong, more than half of the Chunin were dead or injured … We suspect that the enemy has the strength of a Kage …"
"What's the name of the Wood Leaf Ninja who stopped you?"
Onoki interrupted his subordinate's report and directly asked the key point.
"Kato Mitsukaze, he's the deputy chief of the Northwest Stronghold camp promoted by the Wood Leaf Ninja a year ago."
"His surname is Kato? I remember that the Wood Leaf Ninja surnamed Kato is from the Wood Leaf Ninja family. Is it the family that has the secret soul technique of spiritualization? "
"Yes, he's from that family. According to the information we gathered, Kato Mitsukaze is not only good at wind release ninjutsu and extreme speed, but also their family's spiritualization technique …"
"Kato Mitsukaze …"
Onoki had flown back to his seat at this time, and repeated Kato Mitsukaze's name in a low voice.
"Kato Mitsukaze is only 24 years old this year. He was promoted to Shinobu Kiba two years ago. He and the third Hokage's disciple, Tsunade, are a well-known couple in Wood Leaf Village …"
Hearing that Kato Mitsukaze was less than 24 years old, Onoki thought of the current situation of the Rock Village, and his heart ached.
It wasn't that there were no other outstanding ninjas in the Rock Village after Onoki. What Onoki wanted was the next leader of the Rock Village who could take charge of the village alone. He wanted the successor of the Tsuchikage.
Onoki was almost 50 years old. At this age, he was already an old man in the Warring States Period. Who knew how long he could live in this chaotic Shinobi World?
Onoki was thinking about the lack of talents in his village. He thought of the other young heroes in Wood Leaf Village, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochi Maru, Hatsuki Shigeru, and the young and powerful Shinobu Kiba, and now Kato Mitsukaze.
Onoki's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and an idea was faintly formed in his heart.
Since the Rock Village has a gap in the next generation of talents, and Wood Leaf Village has young talents, then we should take advantage of this war and try to kill as many Wood Leaf Ninjas as possible.
"Tsuchikage-sama?"
His subordinate's voice interrupted Onoki's contemplation.
"Speak!"
Onoki said in a harsh tone.
It may be that Onoki's tone was too harsh, but the Rock Jonin in front of him remembered the huge pressure Onoki exuded and couldn't help but shiver.
Although his movements were small, how could he escape Onoki's sharp eyes? He was less than 50 years old, and his eyes weren't that old yet.
Onoki glanced at the subordinate who spoke with disgust. Thinking of how he couldn't even finish his sentence under his coercion, he sighed deeply.
Alas!
They are all the young ninjas of the next generation, why is the gap between them so big?
Onoki found that he was a little jealous of Konoha in his heart. He thought of the scene when he was 13 years old and followed his master, who was not the second Tsuchikage, to Konoha.
There, he met the first Shinobi Kami Senju Tokuma, and Uchiha Madara who insulted and ridiculed them.
Wood Leaf Village has outstanding talents in every generation, such as Yuanfei RIzhan and Shimura Danzo.
Now the next generation of Wood Leaf Village has grown up to be independent.
Is the almighty ancestor of Chakra protecting Wood Leaf Village?
In Onoki's heart, he was even more determined to take advantage of this Shinobi World War to kill more of Konoha's young heroes.
The young Jonin didn't know why Onoki sighed again, he was afraid of being taught a lesson again, so he quickly finished his words.
"Our Rock Village's army has now advanced to the border of the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire. Should we continue to advance to the Land of Fire?"
"What are you waiting for? Wait! Pass my order to the frontline, without my order, no one is allowed to step into the Fire Country! "
"Pass my order to the frontline, the next step of our plan is to consolidate the current defense line."
Onoki directly used his order to answer his subordinate's question.
"Yes, Sandaime-sama."
"Yes, Sandaime-sama."
…
In the commander's tent, there was a sound of receiving orders.
In the end, a young Jonin with a simple and honest face asked cautiously, "But Mister, why don't we take this opportunity to attack the Land of Fire?"
"Use your brain that's full of rocks and mud!"
Onoki stared fiercely at him with his two small eyes.
After a while, Onoki explained to his subordinate.
"This war has just officially begun, we have formed an alliance with the Sand Village in the west. This time, we were able to break through the Wood Leaf Village's defense line so easily because the Wood Leaf Village put most of their forces on the Sand Village in the west."
"If we break into the Fire Country too early, the Wood Leaf Village will certainly transfer most of their forces to the north to fight with us, and by that time, our losses will increase."
The subordinate asked again: "Aren't we allies with the Sand Village?"
"I really want to pry open your skull and see if it's really full of stones and mud. It's true that the Rock Village and the Sand Village are allies, but we used to be enemies! In the west of the Bird Country, we have a large territory dispute with the Wind Country! "
"It's enough to defend our current frontline position and maintain the pressure on Konoha's northern side. It's more in our interest to let the barbarians in the desert bear the main pressure from Konoha. Let them invade the Land of Fire first!"
The Rock Ninja asked again: "If they know that we broke through the Wood Leaf Village's defense line, what if the Sand Village sends people to force us to attack the Fire Country?"
Boom!
Onoki could no longer bear the anger in his heart, and the broken stones and dust on the ground quickly condensed into a stone ball under the control of Onoki's Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Light Weight Rock Technique, and under the control of Onoki's Ninjutsu, he quickly condensed a stone ball and hit the head of the Rock Ninja.
"Do you really need me to teach you this? Just find a reason to fool the Sand Village's Barbarians. "
Onoki flew up again and yelled at his subordinates in the tent: "Didn't you get stopped by a Wood Leaf Ninja this time? Increase the losses by ten times, and say that we suffered heavy losses in order to break through the Wood Leaf Village's defense line, and that we can't launch a second large-scale attack in a short time! "
Perhaps Onoki was too angry. His bulbous nose became red and bright when he roared. It looked as if it had become bigger. Even his beard and eyebrows trembled with anger.
Onoki's appearance was already funny, and now he looked a bit funny, but the other Rock Ninjas in the tent didn't dare to laugh, and when they saw Onoki lose his temper again, they bowed their heads like quails.
After Onoki finished yelling, he looked at his subordinates in disappointment, and then flew away angrily. He now wanted to find a quiet place to plan how to kill more of the Wood Leaf Village's Barbarians in this war.
For example, Kato Mitsukaze, who jumped out this time.
