Chapter 253 Ninja Strategy
"Bang bang~"

"Damn Sarutobi, damn the ninja clan, damn the Daimyo of Shikoku."

At the Fire Nation Daimyo's mansion, after the video conference ended, the Fire Nation Daimyo immediately smashed the TV in front of him, and then frantically smashed everything in the house, cursing at everyone.

The task of buying time for other countries to develop fell on the Fire Nation. Although it had no ninja villages and was afraid that it would be difficult to resist, other ninja villages and daimyos expressed their understanding and provided some assistance, but the actual help was not great.

At this moment he hated Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen weakened Konoha and enriched himself, and at the most critical moment he took the lead in escaping with his family. How could he face the current predicament? How could the Fire Nation face the current predicament?

They have already held an emergency meeting. If Sarutobi Hiruzen could resist, even if only for ten days or half a month, not giving the enemies from the other world a chance to gain a foothold, and giving them time to gain support, they might not have to face the current predicament, and might even be able to beat the enemy back directly.

All the ministers who were watching the meeting were silent as they saw this, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

A minister nearby saw that the daimyo was still furious and didn't seem to be stopping, so he whispered, "Dai-myo, since the situation is not favorable now, why not negotiate with the enemy to save yourself!"

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Fire Nation. Although various countries have made verbal promises, the actual help is not significant.

Upon hearing this, the daimyo immediately opened the fan in his hand and slashed at the minister who made the proposal.

"puff!"

A sound of flesh being torn was heard, and the minister who made the proposal was immediately split in half.

How can a country with such a great reputation and national resources at its disposal be a weakling?

Seeing this, the other ministers dared not speak anymore.

"Humph!" Seeing that the ministers all lowered their heads, the daimyo snorted coldly. "Whoever makes such remarks again in the future will be exterminated."

He wanted to surrender, but he was not that stupid!
As a ruler with charisma, he is definitely a thorn in the eyes of the enemies in the other world. Even if the people in the other world accept surrender, they will definitely settle accounts with him and the entire daimyo family in the future.

On the contrary, most of these ministers were able to continue to prosper under the enemy after surrendering.

After killing the man, the daimyo vented his anger and immediately issued an order: "Immediately gather all the people in the southern part of the Land of Fire to migrate to the west and north, and destroy and block all roads."

"Immediately summon all ninjas and samurai from across the country to gather in various cities, including those strays, and wait for the next order."

"Also, immediately recruit soldiers from all over the country, including prisoners, all able-bodied men over the age of 13, and begin training immediately."

"Call all ninja clans to the Fire City immediately, including those that escaped from Konoha."

"Call all craftsmen from across the country to the City of Fire and prepare for the production of new weapons immediately."

After giving the order, the Fire Nation Daimyo roared, "Do it now!"

"Hi!" Upon hearing this, the ministers of the Fire Nation quickly responded and then fled one by one.

"Damn Sarutobi Hiruzen!" Seeing his ministers leaving in a hurry, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire could not help but curse again. It was because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's early escape that the enemy gained a foothold in the Land of Fire. Now he had to mobilize the entire country.
-
Amid the angry curses of the Fire Country Daimyo, the daimyos and ninja village leaders of other countries also issued similar orders after the meeting.

Summon all ninjas, samurai, craftsmen, and recruit a large number of ordinary people as soldiers.

At the same time, the drawings sent back by the summoned beasts were immediately put into production and testing. People were sent to contact the ninja families who escaped from Konoha and win them over to their own country. These people had experience in fighting the enemy, although it was rare, but it was very important.

Then comes reform!

Everyone knows that the enemies in the other world are absolutely very powerful, and even if the Fire Nation tries its best, it cannot defeat them. Otherwise, the future that the priestess foresaw would not be such a difficult battle.

Everyone was determined to complete the reforms, training, and deployment of new weapons as much as possible during the period when the Fire Nation was under pressure.

Then, try to repel the enemies from the other world within the Fire Country as much as possible, place the battlefield in the Fire Country, and create a safe logistical environment for the rear.

To put it bluntly, it means selling the Fire Nation in exchange for time and space.
-
Konoha has now been changed to the Village of the Dead.

The people who were abandoned in the name Konoha are all dead, and it also means to please the dead.

The civilians and ninjas of Konoha were still receiving training, and except for some leading ninjas, the rest were not sent to participate in the expansion operation.

Considering that these people had just surrendered and were surrounded by familiar places and people, Iruma Hui was worried that they might rebel again because of their emotions, so he did not send them out, but only strengthened their training and transformed their values.

At the same time, the army of Sakura Star was divided into six legions, expanding twenty to forty kilometers around every day, bringing back tens of thousands of civilian prisoners and hundreds of corpses every day. This was because there were not many bandits around Konoha, and it was a relatively stable area, so the villages were relatively clustered.

The main reason for the slow speed is that the roads in the ninja world are all dirt roads, and the main roads are blocked by the escaped ninja families. There are also traps set by the ninja families on the roads. In addition, the scattered villages in various places and other factors have greatly delayed the marching speed of the Sakura Star Army.

For now, due to the short time they have been here and the lack of communication with ordinary people in the ninja world, the expansion of the Sakura Star army has not encountered any resistance.

Even many villages did not evacuate, either because they did not receive the news, or because they wanted to evacuate but found that the roads had been blocked by the fleeing ninjas.

"General, all the main roads around here have been blocked by those ninjas, and there are many traps on the roads, which have caused many of our casualties. We have to clear obstacles and build bridges and roads along the way, and the marching speed of each army is very slow!"

"According to the current progress, it will probably take at least three times longer than expected for the various armies to reach the designated location."

In the Konoha Hokage's office, an intelligence officer spoke to Iruma Keiho.

"Have the various armies come up with any solution to this problem?"

Iruma Kei asked, carefully studying the map of the Land of Fire, which belonged to Konoha.

"Those escaped ninja families blew up the bridges and created a large number of huge potholes at various road joints. The various armies did not bring enough engineering vehicles. To solve these problems, I'm afraid the ninjas will need to use ninjutsu!"

The intelligence officer replied.

"Reject!" Upon hearing this, Iruma Hui rejected it without any hesitation.

Currently they have too few ninjas, and each one of them is a scarce personnel. Except for those ninjas sent out to lead the way and provide experience, the remaining ninjas must be used in the education industry to train more ninjas for Sakura Star.

"Let them keep going. I will mobilize more engineering vehicles to support them."

After thinking for a while, Iruma Kei gave the order.
