The entire Iwagakure Village, in terms of architectural style, fully reflects the enthusiasm, toughness, stubbornness and lack of adaptability of the people who live here.
Viewed from a distance, Yanyin Village looks like a small village hanging on the mountainside. In front are several mountain roads spiraling down, facing a bottomless mountain stream, and behind it is backed by a bare rocky mountain with not a single tree. No, the mountain wind is so strong that you can even see the fine gravel blowing away in the wind.
Further away, there is an old road washed by water. The once great river has long since changed its course, leaving only a plain after the river and barrier lake dried up.
There are a few small ponds at the bottom, which nourish the nearby grassland.
This is already a rare good land with a radius of hundreds of miles. The Iwa Ninjas plant crops and raise livestock here, and can barely provide basic food rations for the people of Iwagakure Village.
It seems a little better than the endless desert of the Kingdom of Wind. In fact, the Kingdom of Earth is closer to the north. It not only has mountains and barren hills, but also the cold air that invades from the north from time to time.
Eight mountains, one water, and one field are not enough to describe the hopeless desolation of the Kingdom of Earth. To make matters worse, there are cold waves passing through here from time to time, wind and snow passing by, and flying sand and dust, making it really uninhabitable.
If I had to give the Country of Earth a position, it would be "the land that military strategists cannot compete with", which is exactly the opposite of the Country of Grass, the Country of Rain, and the Country of Taki.
If it weren't for the adaptable profession of ninja, and the fact that the Kingdom of Earth is indeed rich in mineral reserves, the conditions here would be even worse than those in the Kingdom of Wind.
For ordinary people, mining in such an environment is too difficult, too costly, and not cost-effective. There will be no problem if ninjas do it.
There are treasures buried under the continuous mountains, which is also the key factor for Gushan Bushui to find the right opportunity to enter the Kingdom of Earth.
As long as a normal person operates a business like mining, it is impossible to lose money. At most, it is a matter of making more or less.
Regrettably, Iwagakure Village has made a lot of money over the past few decades by taking advantage of the fact that it was born in a mine. The conditions in Iwagakure Village are much better than those of the shabby and impoverished Sunagakure Village. There is no need to carve out a "concession" for Gusugi. Family debt.
Uchiha Itachi and Fangtuchi, who had just arrived, walked on the trestle and headed towards Iwagakure Village.
It's clearly right in front of us, but getting there is really not an easy task.
What does it mean to watch the mountain and run away from the dead horse? This is!
"I said, why don't we use the flying psychic beast to carry us there? Isn't it a waste of time to go like this?"
Walking one after another, walking in silence, Jiangtu suddenly suggested,
"Or do you also want to delay?"
Uchiha Itachi replied without turning his head:
"It's not time yet. Everything is the same. Walking is already a very easy job."
What's more, flying in the sky may be noticed by the Iwa Ninja.
The "Akatsuki" organization is now a notorious rebel ninja group in the ninja world. Ohnoki also cooperated with Nagato and others in his early years, so he is not ignorant.
Especially when Deidara joined, was captured by mistake, and had to spend money to redeem him, Iwa Ninja had a strong dislike for the "Akatsuki" organization.
"Indeed, most things in the ninja world are actually insignificant. When time comes, things will fall into place, and key nodes will be the opportunity to differentiate."
Jiang Tu agreed with great understanding.
Many big figures who are "playing chess" behind the scenes have already planned the major events that will happen in the next few years. As long as there are no major deflections in the process, the results will not be affected.
"I heard that it was you who defeated Deidara that made him willing to join the organization. You two have a bad relationship, right? What kind of person is he?"
"A young man who is very impulsive. If you want to use him to destroy the Leaf Village, he is probably the best choice besides the leader."
Explosion naturally has the advantage of large-scale destruction. Top ninjas can still use various methods to save their lives. Ordinary people don't even have the ability to resist.
Deidara self-destructed with all his strength, and the explosion's damage range was close to ten kilometers. This kind of power was more powerful than most nuclear bombs.
In the previous life, nuclear weapons were said to destroy the world. The power of nuclear bombs promoted by the public was actually too exaggerated. The explosion yield and damage range were expanded in proportion to the existing data, and thus the conclusion was drawn as to how many times existing nuclear weapons could destroy the world.
The killing range of one million tons equivalent is one hundred times that of ten thousand tons equivalent?
These are just words to scare laymen.
Of course, the secondary disasters of nuclear bombs are very serious, and the damage caused by radioactivity is difficult to remove for many years. It is different from the situation where Deidara's explosion caused one-time damage and there were no further consequences.
In short, if Deidara is willing to blow himself up in Konoha Village, basically there will be nothing left in that area except a big pit.
"Are you giving me advice?"
Jiangtu asked Uchiha Itachi playfully,
"I thought you would stop my attempt to hook up with Deidara and convince him to join us in destroying the Leaf Village."
"If you can do it."
Uchiha Itachi also knew how awkward that young man was. He had held a grudge for so long just because he lost a move. It was really hard to be persuaded.
"Do you think we can successfully find Deidara and take him away?"
"almost impossible."
If it were in Konoha Village, Uchiha Itachi could still think of something. The defensive barrier there was relatively familiar. Even if there were changes, he could still contact the spies who had mixed in.
The Iwa ninjas are difficult to deal with. They rarely appear outside the Land of Earth. Although they are relatively united, they are also very xenophobic. It is not easy to plant a spy.
Onoki, who is old and strong, is incredibly powerful. Not everyone can resist the power of the Blood Succession Elimination, Dust Escape, and Original Realm Peeling Techniques.
Neither Uchiha Itachi nor Furito was the type of ninja who was good at making waves in Iwagakure Village.
The destructive power of Dust Release is too strong, and the defense of the collective ninjutsu of the united Rock Ninjas is also quite amazing.
"Indeed, I am more suitable for setting up suitable traps, causing a large number of casualties to ordinary people and middle- and lower-level ninjas. As for you..."
After Jiangtu thought about it, he didn't know how to describe it.
The two have been partners for so long, and Fangtu has never really seen Uchiha Itachi fight seriously. Judging from the rumors on the night of Uchiha's genocide, the young man opposite him who is much younger than him is terrifyingly strong.
"It is possible to have a back-and-forth fight with Ohnoki. Of course, this is in a one-on-one situation."
The specialty of Iwagakure is that many people join forces to use joint ninjutsu to increase the power and destroy all invading enemies with extremely powerful attack power.
A duel with dignity and dignity?
That doesn't fit with the Iwa-nin's view of war!
The two of them were walking and chatting, and unknowingly got off the trestle and entered the long and narrow valley. As they were about to continue moving forward, they saw many figures suddenly appearing on the mountains on both sides.
"Earth Release: Rock Iron Cannon Technique!"
Dozens of Iwa ninjas who suddenly appeared and ambushed Uchiha Itachi and Furuchi spit out small stones from their mouths, which continued to grow in size as they flew, bombarding them like cannonballs.
This relatively popular technique is not particularly powerful, but when dozens of people use it together to ambush and attack two people, it is very scary.
Faced with such a critical situation, Uchiha Itachi was about to launch the Suzuo Nōhu, which was both offensive and defensive, but was stopped by Fukito.
"Let me do it. I'm better at dealing with miscellaneous fish."
As he spoke, Jiangtu took out a thick piece of talisman paper, spread it flat on the ground, quickly bit his index finger and pressed it on it.
"Earth Escape·There is potential for transformation."
Using the long-sealed talisman design, the normally stored power was instantly exploded, and a large-scale earth escape ninjutsu was performed with the help of necromancy.
Soon, the surrounding terrain directly changed according to the preset plan in the design drawing, and changed to a limited extent in accordance with the idea of falling soil.
The earth escape shells that flew in one after another hit the suddenly appeared earth escape mountain wall. The safe and sound Uchiha Itachi followed the earth escape and walked through the unpredictable earth escape maze.
"It's a really good ninjutsu. It stores the scattered power and releases it directly when needed."
Through the observation of Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi, who instantly understood the principles of this earth escape secret technique, asked,
"What are you going to do?"
"Let others have a look first. If you want to ambush, you can ambush. If you have more people, you dare to provoke powerful enemies. The Iwa Ninja is swollen."
As he spoke, Fangtu used his senses to observe the enemy's movements, while skillfully manipulating the surrounding mountains, changing the terrain, and breaking up the formations of Iwa ninjas.
The Iwa Ninja united is a dragon, and the Iwa Ninja alone is a worm.
In terms of average individual strength, Iwa Ninja is almost at the bottom of the list of the five great ninja villages. There are very few single-on-one masters who pursue personal heroism, except for the Tsuchikage who must have overwhelming strength to command the entire village.
Walking through a cracked passage, killing the lone Iwa ninjas one by one, the weapon in Jiangtu's hand flashed with lightning, and there was more and more crimson blood on it, and the bloody smell around him was also getting more and more... concentrated.
When the Iwa Ninjas realized something was wrong and wanted to get out of the predicament, they found that it was too late.
Jiangtu was in the middle of a killing spree, and when he wanted to kill all the enemies in one go, suddenly, a large piece of stone floated above his head.
"Tu Eun Tu Ling Tuanzi."
It's just a C-level ninjutsu, and it's not very powerful. But when so many rock ninjas jointly perform it, and there's a powerful jounin in the middle - Bunya, the power is increased by several points out of thin air.
In the eyes of Fangtu and Uchiha Itachi, the mass of soil that almost covered half of the sky fell from the sky and crushed them, which was really frightening.
"Want to leave?"
Uchiha Itachi asked,
"It seems very troublesome."
Jiangtu waved his hand confidently and said calmly:
"Iwa Ninja may have made a mistake. I am not only good at earth escape, but also thunder escape."
As he spoke, he concentrated the power of the changed nature of the thunder attribute chakra on the tin staff he held. This alien weapon was like an antenna that received thunder and lightning, concentrating the lethality into a slender lightning escape spear, and then He was suddenly thrown out by Jiangtu.
In the eyes of everyone, they saw a shining lightning flash across, hitting a huge ball of soil in the sky, and then erupting with violent lightning, completely destroying the earth escape chakra in the ball, so it could not maintain its form and transformed. Pieces of fine sand and gravel fall.
Of course, this can't cause any harm. Whether it's Fangtu or Uchiha Itachi, they can easily avoid it.
A few seconds later, looking at the tin staff disappearing into the sky, Jiangtu smiled slightly, and used his psychic technique again. He saw the tin staff falling into the abyss at the end of his sight, back in Jiangtu's hand.
"Is this the one just now?"
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but asked curiously,
"It looks ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be a divine weapon."
Not all weapons can be summoned back after being thrown.
Weapons with such abilities are all famous magical weapons in the ninja world, such as several Kusanagi swords, Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords, Six Paths artifacts, etc.
Jiangtu replied naturally:
"When you have been the leader of the guardian ninja of the Fire Country Daimyo, and you have the richest family in the ninja world, the Kosugi family, you can get any precious materials. Asking a famous person to create a magical weapon is not easy, but it is not It’s not too difficult.”
"I see."
Uchiha Itachi, who was once the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader family, also knows a thing or two about how powerful money, manpower and resources can be.
The wealth of the Furusugi family is several levels higher than that of the Uchiha family.
No inheritance, no artifact?
It doesn't matter, the Gushan family spent their own money and people to build it. One generation can't do it. The accumulation of several generations is enough, right?
Even so, there are still not many unknown weapons like this, and the tin staff held by Jiangtu is one of the better ones.
"The master is here, it's time for us to leave."
After observing the surroundings and concealing the whereabouts of the two of them, Jiangtu suggested,
"Although I'm not afraid, there's no need to rush into the trap without hesitation. However, I'm more curious, how did Yanyin Village find us and accurately find the right ambush location?"
If Fangtu and Uchiha Itachi hadn't been so powerful, they would have really suffered a big loss here.
Fighting with dozens of Iwa ninja for 300 rounds, it's not a big problem!
How many powerful Jonin are there among them?
Seriously, it's not life-threatening.
But if more enemies besieged them, Fengtu and Uchiha Itachi would not be guaranteed to be surrounded and killed.
Everyone has heard of the lesson learned from the fact that the Raikage Sandaime was eaten alive by the Ten Thousand Gan Ninja.
If you can't beat them, fight in groups. Iwagakure Village really has a glorious tradition.
"My psychic beast observed two relatively powerful chakras approaching in the sky."
Uchiha Itachi, who had long since released a psychic crow to patrol around, said to Fangtu:
"It seems that I have to leave if I don't want to."
Although they met on a narrow road, the fighter that Iwagakure was looking for was so good that the two of them had to wonder if there was another traitor in the organization who wanted to kill them with the help of Iwagakure.
A few minutes later, Onoki, who had arrived late, looked at his compatriots who were dead and injured, and became furious.
"I can't even delay it for a few minutes. Is the enemy that strong?"
