Chapter 824 Greenery Master
Chapter 824 Greenery Master
Originally established as a forward outpost, the seabuckthorn city has finally fulfilled its original purpose.
The group from Iwagakure was led by Deidara, with Kurotsuchi following behind him.
None of the other high-ranking members of Sunagakure came; clearly, they wanted to train Deidara.
Deidara was very intelligent, and leading 2000 people was not difficult for him.
Kurotsuchi was able to sit in the position of Tsuchikage in the original timeline, so she was naturally no pushover.
Two thousand people quickly entered the seabuckthorn city.
Although Konoha only had 500 people, there were a large number of Uchiha and Hyuga clan members.
As Sunagakure said, they were the advance reconnaissance force.
The goal of the Ninja War five years ago was to eliminate the remaining forces of Sunagakure, so all that was needed was to hunt down the Sunagakure troops.
But this time is different; the goal of this war is to completely conquer the Land of Wind.
Investigation is of paramount importance.
The leaders of Konoha's team were originally White Fang, Kakashi, and Nawaki, two of them in the open and one in the shadows.
Kakashi was the primary one issuing orders; White Fang was merely there as a combat unit.
However, after Tsunade woke up, she also came to join in the fun, so the command position fell to Tsunade.
Of course, the group wasn't just made up of these people; Ebizo and Chiyo also came along.
Chiyo is still capable of fighting, but she hasn't been involved in much combat in recent years.
She and Ebizo came here as consultants.
After all, the desert region and the Land of Fire are completely different worlds, and it would take a lot of effort to completely conquer this desert.
In the conference room of Seabuckthorn City.
The members of Konoha, along with Deidara and Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure, were discussing battle plans in this room.
"...Based on the terrain, going west, it's about a day's journey through desert."
Chiyo pointed to a hanging map and said.
"This...this...is one of the two important passages connecting Sunagakure to the outside world. Sunagakure must have deployed a large number of troops to guard it this time."
"Aside from these two roads, Sunagakure is surrounded by desert, and it is the most dangerous Demon Desert in the Land of Wind."
"If we don't go in through these two routes, the only way to enter Sunagakure is through the Demon Desert."
“The Sand Village has a great advantage in this environment, and the Demon Desert has set up a detection barrier.”
"If a large number of people cross the border, it will definitely be detected."
"We must be careful not to get dragged into the Demon Desert."
"Because there are extremely extreme temperature differences between day and night, a large number of quicksand pits in the desert, and very changeable weather, which often causes sand tornadoes and sandstorms."
"This kind of natural disaster is completely beyond our control. Even we can only find a place to hide."
"And the timing of such natural disasters is not fixed."
"As long as we don't encounter a sandstorm, we can cross it directly in one day."
"Whether we go directly to fight them or we want to green this place, the weather is something we have to take into account."
From Konoha's perspective, Chiyo actually felt that they could ignore the outer desert and the Demon Desert and simply send elite troops to cross over and take down Sunagakure.
After all, Minato's Flying Thunder God technique is very fast at transporting troops.
Transforming this desert is time-consuming and laborious, and results will not be seen in the short term.
But Chiyo's intention was to use this to force Sunagakure to know that Konoha wanted to conquer the Land of Wind.
Another point to consider is whether Sunagakure will ask Kumogakure for help, and how Kumogakure will react.
However, as a former resident of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, Chiyo wouldn't want Sunagakure to be directly attacked.
After all, nearly 10,000 people from Sunagakure died in the last Ninja War. If Chiyo personally takes action again this time, the number of people who die in Sunagakure will be more than 10,000 or 20,000.
In Qianyao's view, with the Otsutsuki above him who could fall at any moment, his focus should be on improving his own strength.
And to cultivate a sufficient number of experts.
Fighting the Sand Village is merely a means, not an end.
The higher-ups in Konoha were generally aware of the Otsutsuki clan and Chiyo's plans, and no one questioned it.
After observing this situation, Chiyo knew that Konoha was preparing to slowly erode the Land of Wind, and she also knew what to do.
"We don't need to rush in through these two passages; there's no need for a head-on battle that exhausts our resources."
"We can start from the Stone Mine and take over this area before the Demon Desert."
"Let's see how fast the desert is greening. Sand Village is just a pushover. Let's see if Cloud Village reacts."
Chiyo drew a circle on the map.
"Then it's decided. Let's send people out and explore the entire area."
Tsunade originally wanted to show off her skills, but now that she hasn't even seen a single Sand Village resident, she naturally feels a bit drowsy.
Upon seeing that a feasible solution had been proposed, they immediately approved it.
The others looked at each other and had no objections.
The original condition with Iwagakure was that they wouldn't send anyone to waste resources, so the best course of action now is to focus on greening their territory.
Deidara and Kurotsuchi had no objections.
After agreeing on the plan, the people from Iwagakure and Konoha worked together to form groups, collect supplies, and equip themselves with the necessary gear.
As the sun set and the temperature dropped, a group of people quickly set off to explore the planned area.
During this time, they only encountered a few Sunagakure spies, but the two sides only met from a distance.
Konoha used their Byakugan to observe Sunagakure, while Sunagakure also observed Konoha with binoculars and other equipment.
After all, the desert here stretches endlessly with no obstructions, so binoculars are practically useless.
The Sand Village was very cautious, observing from a very far distance.
If Konoha shows any intention to approach, Sunagakure will quickly retreat.
The entire area was explored in one night.
There is nothing dangerous or that requires special attention.
……
The people of Yanyin formed groups of ten and lined up from the edge of Seabuckthorn City all the way to the Stone Mine.
Earth Release: Rock Transformation Technique!
After everyone had formed the hand seals, they placed their hands directly on the ground.
The scene of two thousand people using ninjutsu together is also very spectacular.
Boom boom boom!
From beneath the sand came muffled sounds like rolling thunder.
Sand continuously aggregates to form rock slabs, which harden from the surface into the ground.
The process only stopped after the sand grains had all been transformed into rock slabs at a depth of five meters underground.
The Iwagakure members who successfully performed the spell raised their flags in groups of ten, signifying that everything was normal.
Deidara flew through the air, quickly inspected the area, and then proceeded to the next step.
He fired a signal flare into the sky, and seeing that his flare was fired, ten more flares were fired in succession from the ranks.
The Iwagakure members sprang into action once more, forming hand seals and extracting chakra.
"Earth Release: Rock Hole Technique!"
As they slammed their hands on the ground again, countless holes and cracks instantly appeared in the rock slab below.
Near the Seabuckthorn City, Tianzang was also casting a spell.
"Water Release: Waterfall Technique!"
This technique can connect to a water source drawn from the Land of Rain.
The underground rock pores were gradually soaked with water.
Of course, the wind and sand in the Land of Wind are very strong, and if that were all, the rock slabs would soon be covered by sand and gravel.
So, this brings us to the most crucial person.
Rope tree.
He made a gesture, and some Uchiha members had already scattered the prepared tree seeds in the designated area ahead.
Some specific trees are better adapted to the climate change in the desert.
"Snapped!"
Nawaki slammed his hands together: "Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"
"Drink!"
With the intense release of chakra, the ground immediately began to tremble incessantly.
Countless trees sprouted from the ground, twisting and growing into towering giants.
With this spell, an area roughly the size of a football field was transformed into trees.
All the trees twisted and rooted in the ground, trees that would normally be unable to survive in the desert or on rocky ground.
However, because of the continuous water supply, they are able to survive here.
