"Change the squad into a squadron, and all members are prohibited from patrolling in the field. All corresponding areas are controlled by puppet troops."
Just as Hidden Cloud Village was adjusting its next plan and preparing for the counterattack, Yayoi was also adjusting its own deployment.
Due to the airborne landing of 'Ai', nearly ten ninjas from two teams and Samurai died. Yayoi quickly dismantled the team patrol mode and formed a squadron-sized unit, and all patrol work in the field was performed by puppet troops.
This is to prevent Hidden Cloud Village from using similar means again and catching this side by surprise.
Compared with a squad of four or five people, a squadron has a larger number of people. Each squadron has at least hundreds of people, and is equipped with several Jonin and Upper Samurai as standard.
If they are suddenly attacked by 'Ai' again, although a squadron-sized mixed force is still no match, at least they won't have any resistance at all. They can even contain the opponent and wait for rescue to arrive.
Although doing so will make the control of some places less connected, extraordinary measures are needed in extraordinary times.
The less resources you get, the less you get. In the eyes of Yayoi, ninjas and Samurai are the most precious resources, and you can't put the cart before the horse.
He is not stingy with sacrifice, but if it is a meaningless sacrifice, there is no need to sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice.
As for Kicho and Yaya who are on the front line, as well as Komurasaki who is responsible for guerrilla warfare, they are the investigation troops to guard and sweep Hidden Cloud Village according to the original plan.
Over time, it is equivalent to chewing off a piece of flesh from Hidden Cloud Village.
Land of Lightning Hidden Cloud Village Troops Over the past six months, hundreds of elite ninjas have been killed or injured in guerrilla warfare. This is not something that can be easily revealed with a few innocuous words.
If this continues, Hidden Cloud Village, apart from shrinking completely and becoming a coward, can only increase its sacrifices and obtain negligible information.
Ninjas are different from Ordinary People. A dead Chunin elite cannot be cultivated in a short time.
To build a stronghold and fight stupidly is the strategy formulated by Yayoi.
First seek to be undefeated, then find the enemy's weaknesses and carry out defensive counterattacks that determine victory or defeat.
Now it seems that the opportunity for defensive counterattack may come soon?
Because Hidden Cloud Village, who was in a stagnant pool of water, finally started to move around frequently.
No matter what kind of plan it is, as long as it is put into action, the corresponding weaknesses will be exposed.
Things did not go as Yayoi expected. Half a month after making subtle adjustments to the defensive strategy, 'Ai' was once again sent to Land of Night's defense zone.
This time, Hidden Cloud Village was still very careful, and the places they landed were all relatively 'safe' places they had found.
It's just that Yayoi has adjusted its strategy and there is no longer a team out on patrol. In addition, the nearest puppet troops are still several kilometers away. By the time they get there, 'Ai' is already in Land of Night's Sensory, making a rapid breakthrough all the way to the outside of the defense zone.
And in the middle of escaping, he also destroyed dozens of Obelisk Tower used to control puppets.
Regarding this, Yayoi and all the Land of Night commanders showed no fluctuations in their faces or hearts, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Sure enough, what Hidden Cloud Village detected were all their superficial 'weaknesses', and the real core was something they had never touched.
It's normal if you think about it carefully. They have set up Barrier to block unfamiliar Chakra Sensory. What the Sensory ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village can Sensory are basically only these superficial deceptions.
And in order to cooperate with Hidden Cloud Village's performance, they also made the puppets near the destroyed Obelisk Tower stop and fall to the ground, like a pile of discarded scrap metal, which was seen by 'Ai' with his own eyes.
"Notify the nearest squadron to repair the damaged signal tower."
"Yes."
In the super large Obelisk Tower controlled by Maple City, the Sensory ninja issued instructions to the nearest squadron through Sensory Water Sphere.
"General, don't you need to arrest him directly?"
A Jonin asked.
Before Yayoi could answer, Jonin, who held another important position, sneered and retorted:
"What's the use of catching him now? The real big fish hasn't surfaced yet."
"That's right, Hidden Cloud Village finally started to move. Now is not the time to alert the enemy. Let this 'Ai' fly for a while longer."
In their eyes, as long as Hidden Cloud Village and his successor Raikage continue to carry out such an airborne offensive, they will basically be the turtle in the urn.
Because the Obelisk Tower receiver disclosed to the outside world only shows what outsiders can see.
In each zone, in addition to the outer Obelisk Tower receiver, there are two backup receivers.
Hidden in trees, rocks, or buried underground, it is completely meaningless to only destroy the outermost Obelisk Tower.
It's just that the people at Hidden Cloud Village don't know this. They just think that the Obelisk Tower outside is the only Chakra receiver that controls the puppet's actions.
Maybe for the first time, 'Ai' can use the teleportation technique that Land of Night doesn't know to catch this side by surprise.
But wanting to repeat the same results as last time for the second time is simply a fool's errand. If it weren't for catching the big fish behind, 'Ai' would have been heavily surrounded by them now.
Compared to 'Ai', the big fish following behind was more worthy of their efforts to bait.
When Hidden Cloud Village uses 'Ai' to test, it is also the test of Land of Night on Hidden Cloud Village.
Yayoi has no objection to this. He has the same idea. If he catches 'Ai' now, he will probably make Hidden Cloud Village shrink even more.
He waited for more than half a year before Hidden Cloud Village finally became active again. Once this opportunity was missed, he would not know how long he would have to wait for the next such a good opportunity.
Therefore, Yayoi decided to stand still and let 'Ai' airborne for the next time, constantly wreaking havoc, looking helpless.
In Hidden Cloud Village's field of vision, Land of Night's shrinking is completely normal behavior.
The great thing about Heavenly Transfer Technique is that there is no need to mark it in advance. In theory, the target can be teleported to any place as long as the caster has the corresponding knowledge in his mind.
It is only limited by the Chakra of the caster, the target size and the teleportation distance.
This is the limit of human beings, not the limit of technology.
As long as 'Ai' is not unlucky enough to fall into the encirclement of Land of Night, the so-called enemy-occupied area is like a public toilet in the eyes of 'Ai', who can come and leave whenever he wants.
Then two or three months passed, and the time came to December. As Hidden Cloud Village used 'Ai' to test more and more places, a lot of the fog spread over the areas occupied by Land of Night was also lifted.
Especially in the last two times, they have successfully used 'Ai' to destroy many long-distance freighters used to transport tons of supplies in the western port of Land of Lightning.
According to 'Ai''s description, Land of Night began to transfer a considerable portion of its troops towards the port.
This was also within Hidden Cloud Village's expectation. Those materials were valuables plundered from the west of Land of Lightning and were extremely valuable. In order to protect those things, Land of Night would definitely transfer some of its troops.
The last time 'Ai' went over, he was almost intercepted by the troops there. Fortunately, 'Ai''s Lightning Release was fast, otherwise he would have been really surrounded.
'Ai' came back to report this matter, which made Hidden Cloud Village's senior management sweat.
At the same time, in Maple City's wartime conference room, Yayoi and Irori summoned a group of Land of Night high-level ninjas and Samurai to participate in a combat meeting.
"Hidden Cloud Village's recent actions have become more and more radical, and they have successively destroyed many long-distance cargo ships. In their eyes, our forces have begun to disperse towards the port area."
Yayoi pointed at the opening of the map and marked the various locations where 'Ai' had appeared over the past few months.
Exploring the layout of the defense zone and destroying the control puppets Obelisk Tower and the freighters used to transport goods at the port were all done very delicately, which involved a large part of Land of Night's energy.
"At this rate, it seems that Hidden Cloud Village's offensive is about to begin."
"After all, they have recently deliberately tightened their defense lines and pretended not to want to fight head-on."
"What if they really don't want to fight head-on and are just using teleportation to harass us little by little?"
"Then we can only catch 'Ai', but we can't gain nothing."
Land of Night Jonin and Upper Samurai here, what do you think about the next step? They are all making money here, it is just a difference between making more and making less.
However, they still longed for a big war in their hearts. After all, they had been fighting guerrilla warfare for almost a year, and they were almost sick from it.
In such a slow battle, not only Hidden Cloud Village was holding his breath, but they were also holding their breath.
Especially young newcomers who are eager to make contributions and make a successful career feel that General is good at everything but too stable.
When it moves, it's like thunder, but when it doesn't move, it's really motionless.
And he always likes to defend and counterattack, waiting for the enemy to reveal a weakness before attacking.
Unlike the battlefield of Hot Water and Frost Countries, the fighting is in full swing, and there will be a huge battle every month.
Here General always keeps accumulating strength, and then for that moment of trembling, the battle suddenly ends.
(Foreplay is over)
