Two days to advance several dozen kilometers sounded terrible.
After all, the Blazing Sun Army held an overwhelming advantage, yet this was all they had achieved.
The problem was that those several dozen kilometers consisted of fortresses, Sentry Towers, and trap zones. It was practically an impregnable wall of steel.
When building the outer defenses, Asuma and Konoha's higher-ups had even planned to use them to hold the enemy back for months, exhausting their morale and supplies.
