After all, the Breath of Wind and the Breath of Thunder share the same origin. Now, with the Breath of Sun as a reference, the difficulty of merging them is much lower.
"If there's something wrong with your body, you need to obediently get checked, Shimizu-kun."
Butterfly Ninja smiled and leaned down, saying to Shimizu while impolitely slapping away Shimizu's arm and attaching the stethoscope.
"Speaking of which, what's the name of the new breathing technique?"
"The principle of the new breathing technique is based on the ionized wind of nature, so let's call it the Breath of Ionization."
Shimizu said casually.
...
...
Naruto World.
A torrential rain fell from the sky. On the desolate and muddy plain, blood flowed like rivers. The sounds of fighting and the wind and rain seemed to be the main melody of the world.
After a long time, the Konoha ninjas left hundreds of corpses on the battlefield and retreated completely.
A "crack" of mechanical twisting sounded, and Shimizu walked out of the Great Ivan, his hands emitting a faint green glow, using healing techniques to help Yakura and Maki heal.
The overall combat power of their team was already not low. On the local battlefield, they had begun to undertake some important tasks, and the pressure they faced had also increased.
Fortunately, they could still cope with it. Maki and Yakura only had minor injuries.
The result of this battle could also be described as a complete victory.
After the war, Chiyo called the special Jonin-level and above ninjas in the camp together for a meeting.
"Very good, Konoha's main force has been repelled, and Hanzo is surrounded by Iwagakure, isolated and helpless. Even if he can lead the Amegakure ninjas to break through the encirclement, after this battle, Amegakure will be seriously injured and will no longer have the power to take the initiative."
Chiyo pointed to the map hanging on the wall and began to explain the current situation.
Since Orochimaru was transferred to another battlefield, although the momentum of the Third Kazekage's eastward advance was interrupted by the Konoha ninjas he led, the power of Konoha in the Land of Rain naturally weakened.
Especially when Danzo Shimura's command ability was relatively average.
In terms of overall situation, strategic planning, and tactics, he was much worse than Orochimaru. In addition, Tsunade was crippled. Relying on Danzo and Jiraiya alone, they could only hold on to the situation and hope for changes to occur.
That is, some small tricks played by Danzo, such as assassination. After the first attempt failed, facing the Suna ninjas who had become more vigilant, they no longer worked, and even backfired, wasting the benefits that were intended as traps.
"On the eastern front, due to Orochimaru's relationship, the Third Hokage's advance has been temporarily blocked, but the entire Land of Rivers has been completely swallowed by us, and defenses have been built. Konoha's counterattack has been blocked, and now both sides are in a stalemate in the Land of Rivers and the Land of Valleys."
"And we have also reached our limit, not in terms of logistics. Under the strategy of using war to support war, our material reserves are even more than when we first entered the Land of Rain, and even a large number of precious materials have been sent back to the village, but in terms of manpower."
Chiyo then removed some red flags representing Konoha and Amegakure from the sand table on the table, and replaced them with green pieces representing Suna and yellow flags representing Iwa.
Through the sand table, the division of the situation inside the Land of Rain can be clearly seen.
The south and west are basically occupied by the allied forces formed by Suna and Iwa.
The largest central area was previously occupied by Amegakure and Konoha, but now it is divided up by Suna and Iwa.
Amegakure retreated to the north, which is Hanzo's lair, and Konoha also retreated to the east, backing on the border of the Land of Fire.
Suna and Iwa now control more than 50% of the territory of the Land of Rain.
The occupied territory has suddenly increased by more than half. Whether it is Suna or Iwa, after carrying out basic defenses in the occupied areas, they have reached the limit of manpower.
"In other words, we now have more than enough defense, but not enough offense. Although Konoha has suffered a defeat, its main force has not suffered too much loss. It is still very difficult to take them down. If we continue to attack forcefully, it will instead cause internal emptiness. Under Konoha's desperate counterattack, we may suffer losses instead."
Chiyo concluded.
In short, with Hanzo not dead and Konoha's main force still there, with the current strength of Sunagakure, it is not enough to annex the Land of Rain. Even being able to occupy nearly one-third of the Land of Rain is already the limit.
"Can the village send reinforcements?"
A Suna ninja asked.
"What about Takigakure in the north? Although it is not one of the five great ninja villages, they also have a Tailed Beast. Among the small countries, their strength ranks among the top, not worse than Amegakure. If we can form an alliance with them…"
Rasa asked.
"I have already sent someone to Takigakure to send a letter for negotiation, but it seems that they only want to guard their own small territory and have no desire to intervene in the wars of other countries."
Chiyo shook her head again.
Of course, Takigakure didn't dare to take action.
Shimizu thought to himself.
Since Kakuzu defected, killed all the former high-level officials of Takigakure, and stole the Earth Grudge Technique, Takigakure has almost lost its inheritance, and no noteworthy masters have emerged since then.
It is only by relying on the skin of the Seven-Tails that other ninja villages take a high look at them, but if they really send troops abroad, then it is estimated that they will reveal their true colors.
But I don't know where Kakuzu is now.
This person can also be regarded as a veteran Kage-level powerhouse. If he can find contact information and give enough money, presumably he will not refuse Sunagakure's war employment.
A group of Suna Jonin expressed their opinions. Although there were also good suggestions, they did not have much impact on the overall situation.
"Shimizu, what about you? Do you have any thoughts?"
Near the end, Chiyo suddenly asked Shimizu.
She believed that her disciple still had some quick wits.
"I was thinking, if we can't defeat Konoha with our current strength, can we make Konoha retreat on its own?"
Shimizu rubbed his chin and said.
"Tell me in detail."
Chiyo asked with interest.
"We can attack Konoha's rear strongholds like last time. Even if we don't have the previous intelligence advantage now, if the Land of Fire is damaged, Konoha will definitely have to take some action, right? Even if the Konoha ninjas in the Land of Rain may not withdraw, we can also explore how many people Konoha can still draw out now and whether they still have the strength to send reinforcements to the Land of Rain battlefield."
Chiyo's mind turned, considering the feasibility.
