Chapter 297 The war escalates
The natural canyon was filled with two 50-meter-wide passages after a day and night of full efforts by a large number of earth-style ninjas.

Once the passage was filled, there was no distinction between men, women, old or young, and the dense crowd retreated towards the Land of Earth like migrating oxen.

"Clang clang clang!"

Just as the crowd was retreating in a hurry, the sound of clanging bells suddenly rang out.

"Enemy air raid is coming, those who haven't evacuated yet, leave the passage immediately!"

"Everyone, find shelter nearby, don't gather in groups!"

Hearing the bell, the Earth Kingdom ninjas who were responsible for maintaining order in the crowd shouted.

Among the crowd, there were many trenches dug to prevent air raids because they knew that the enemy would launch retaliation.

Hearing the bell and shouting, the crowded crowd instantly panicked, but under the command of the ninjas, they quickly ran to the surrounding trenches.

In just a moment, the trenches were filled with people. In some places where the crowd was dense, the trenches could no longer be described as crowded, but piled with people. Even those who couldn't squeeze into the trenches could only lie on the edge of the trenches.

In the crowded trench, the cries of children could be heard continuously.

At this moment, none of the adults cared about the crying children. They were all praying nervously or looking up at the sky.

In the northern sky, dense black spots could be seen clearly. Everyone knew that they were the enemy's aerial weapons. More people prayed at once, and even the ninjas could only pray that their luck was not so bad and they would not be hit directly by the enemy's aerial weapons.

"The first formation is about to reach the enemy's airspace and has discovered a new bridge built by the enemy. Captain, please confirm the target and decide whether to start dropping bombs!"

"No need to determine the target, just proceed with the carpet bombing as planned!"

"Yes, prepare to drop the bomb!"

"The bomb bay is open!"

"bomb!"

In just one minute, the fleet of planes, which were originally small black dots in the sky, flew over the retreating crowd.

Then a large number of bombs began to pour down.

Twenty seconds after being dropped, these bombs disintegrated into more small bombs the size of footballs, spreading out over a larger and denser area, like dense raindrops.

In the crowd below, people looked in horror at the dense black spots falling like raindrops in the sky, and prayed even more anxiously in their hearts.

The next moment, these can-sized bomblets kept falling to the ground and then bounced up from the ground.

Just when people were wondering why this happened, the bombs that bounced up from the ground suddenly exploded. In an instant, a large number of diamond-shaped iron blocks as big as fingernails shot out from the center of the explosion and shot towards the people on the ground from all directions, like a torrential rain.

Every time a bomblet explodes, it scatters thousands of diamond-shaped iron blocks.

In an instant, screams were heard everywhere. Those who were lucky were killed by the iron blocks that hit their heads, while those who were unlucky were hit by dozens or hundreds of iron blocks and could only lie on the ground wailing and waiting to die.

These iron blocks are irregular diamond-shaped and will cause large-area lacerations when shot into the human body. Such injuries would be difficult to save even if there were medical ninjas, not to mention there were no medical ninjas to treat them. Even Tsunade might not be able to save the patient.

However, there are limited aircraft and it is impossible to cover all the millions of people here.

~~~
"How could this be?"

After the bombing, the survivors, civilians and ninjas, crawled out from under the piles of corpses, covered in blood. They looked at the blood-red earth, gritting their teeth and trying their best to endure it.

If the previous bombing gave them a shock, it was unbelievable.

This time the bombing was far less shocking than before, but the scene was even more bloody and cruel. "Hurry up and treat the wounded!"

People shouted and gritted their teeth as they began to rescue those who were still wailing, but experienced ninjas knew that most of these people could not be saved.

What is even more infuriating is that the road that had just been filled with earth escape was once again broken and collapsed by the aerial bombs and rockets carried by fighter jets. It will take at least three hours for the earth escape ninja to repair it.

On the other side, the Land of Thunder.

After more than half a month of sailing on the sea, Mifune and other people from the Iron Kingdom finally arrived at the Thunder Kingdom.

This is the safest place at present, and it is also the last place of resistance in the plans of all parties in the ninja world.

A lot of supplies and equipment have also been transported here. Even the Land of Earth has plans to evacuate to the Land of Thunder. Various large equipment and important factories are built on the coast near the Land of Thunder.

If the situation goes wrong, the supplies and equipment can be immediately loaded onto the ship and headed to the Land of Thunder.
-
At the same time, in the Land of Waves.

A large number of ships were docked at the coastal ports of Wave Country, the number had reached thousands, and they could transport at least 100,000 soldiers. These were all confiscated and newly manufactured ships.

There are even large shipyards under construction. Once successfully built, the speed of shipbuilding will increase several times, and the ships built will be large steel ships.

The enemies from another world are building ships in the Wave Country with the obvious intention of attacking the Water Country, so the Water Country certainly can't sit still.

Even the Kingdom of Thunder does not want to see the enemy build a large number of ships. After all, the enemy's ships can not only attack the Kingdom of Water, but also the Kingdom of Thunder.

This is extremely detrimental to the entire ninja world's plan to delay time.

Therefore, both countries sent a large number of ninjas to destroy these ships and even the shipbuilding factories.

But unfortunately, Sakura Star is also very wary of ninjas.

The first is that there are ten giant underwater monsters in the waters of the Wave Country. These monsters will not only attack any ship that dares to approach the Wave Country, but will also disperse the schools of fish near the Wave Country to reduce the interference of the fish with the radar.

At the same time, there are a large number of radars, various advanced coastal defense guns and close-in defense guns on the coast of Wave Country. Not to mention ninjas getting close, even larger fish will be blasted into pieces if they get close.

There are also fighter jets and helicopters patrolling the sky day and night.

The defenses are very strict.

~~~
"Master Qing, the enemy's defense is too tight, and we have not been able to complete the mission until now. The commander is dead, and we have changed seven temporary commanders!"

"We have tried more than a dozen times, but we were killed before we could get within three nautical miles. We are very sorry for not completing the mission!"

On a small island near the Land of Waves, in a cave covered by mud, sand and branches, a jonin from the Mist Shadow Village reported to the newly arrived Aoi with a guilty conscience.

The other ninjas in the cave also lowered their heads in self-blame.

The village sent out more than 800 ninjas, all of whom were Chunin and Jonin, to destroy the enemy's ships and docks, but they failed to complete the mission.

At this time, there were only more than 300 ninjas left here, but they tried their best and sacrificed more than 500 people, but they couldn't even get within three nautical miles of the enemy, let alone complete the mission and destroy the enemy's ships.

"It's not your fault. The power of those aliens here is very strong, and their weapons are powerful and strange. We don't have the corresponding intelligence, so it's normal that we failed."

Qing sighed and said. The situation here is not detailed even in the future foreseen by the witch, and it can even be said to be dispensable. We only know that a very powerful force from another world is concentrated here, and in order to ensure the safety of the ship, the rest can be said to be dispensable.

Qing also knew that although these people were all ninjas from the Blood Mist Era, they all knew that this mission not only concerned the survival of the Mist Shadow Village, but also the survival of the entire Water Country and even the entire ninja world, so everyone came with the determination to die. Now that the mission has not been completed, they are actually more tormented than anyone else.

Otherwise, he would not have stayed here and tried to complete the mission after the commander died and the temporary commander was replaced (died).
