Chapter 246 Battlefield
Chapter 246 Battlefield
Battlefield in the Land of Stone.
After the people of Yanyin occupied the area of the mine, they did not rush to start mining.
After all, if we send ordinary people over now, they'll likely die, and then no one will dare to come over in the future.
Most of these fifty hidden rock dwellers were brought along by Huang Tu, who happened to be doing a mission nearby.
Of the group of Iwagakure members who initially fought against Rasa, very few are still alive.
Therefore, they are working hard to build defensive fortifications.
As the Earthmoving Brigade, Iwagakure's speed is incredibly fast.
They have now used earth magic to create a small fortress for shelter.
Its defenses are definitely much stronger than those of Sunagakure.
At this moment, Huang Tu was discussing the upcoming battle with a group of Iwagakure members.
Because the Sand Village could attack at any time.
Their current numbers of fifty are still too few to completely occupy this area.
"The Sand Village has temporarily retreated, but they could launch their next attack at any time."
"Let's discuss how we should respond."
Huang Tu looked at Yan Yin beside him, mainly at Da Yan and Hou Shi.
These two are considered the elite of this group.
Da Yan has dark skin and is tall and strong, while Hou Shi is shorter and stocky.
They exchanged glances, and Ooiwa said, "We should hold our ground here and wait for Lord Tsuchikage's reinforcements."
Atsushi added, "We will continue to strengthen the construction of the fortress, and Sunagakure won't be able to mobilize personnel over so quickly."
"We have an advantage if we hold firm to our position."
Because of Onoki's long-standing conservative approach, the people of Iwagakure tend to favor defense and counter-attack in combat.
After all, Earth Release techniques are very effective in group combat, and they are used to doing it that way.
As Onoki's son, Hiroto naturally shared the same way of thinking.
Seeing that no one in the group had any other opinions, he nodded slightly: "Then..."
“I have a better way, hmm.”
A boy's voice came from behind, making Huang Tu turn his head.
In the corner of the room where they were having their meeting, sat a blond-haired boy.
Both his physique and appearance were different from the rough men around him.
It was Deidara.
Since Deidara was kidnapped, he seems to have changed his personality. After returning, he has been working hard to train and has rarely had time to cause trouble.
In particular, he kept pestering Onoki to teach him Dust Release.
Deidara was rejected by Onoki because he was too young and had a very eccentric personality.
Not to mention how difficult it is to learn Dust Release.
If Deidara really learns it and goes out to cause trouble, even Onoki won't be able to stop him.
However, given that Deidara has changed a lot and Iwagakure is facing a talent shortage with no successors, the situation is dire.
Onoki has started to focus on training Deidara, and is now familiarizing him with the three nature transformations.
Once he's a little more mature, we can start teaching him Dust Release.
Deidara also did some missions with Huang Tu and the others, but his approach was completely different from theirs.
They are often wildly imaginative, but still very valuable for reference.
Even if Huang Tu doesn't necessarily adopt it, he's still willing to listen to Deidara's whimsical ideas.
"Then tell me your plan, Deidara."
Deidara rubbed a piece of clay in his hand, and in a moment it turned into the shape of a spider.
"We used earth-遁 (a technique involving earth-based techniques) to thicken and reinforce the upper layer of the ore, and then we withdrew from this area."
"Once the Sand Village people take over, just let the mine explode and collapse! Bury them all! Hmm!"
Deidara's eyes lit up when he talked about this.
"The more people they come, the more people will witness my magnificent art of explosion!"
Loess can now be filtered automatically, according to Deidara's art theory.
However, he was seriously considering Deidara's solution.
After thinking for a long time, Huang Tu still shook his head and said:
"No, if Sunagakure doesn't go to occupy the mines but instead comes to hunt us down, then we will lose all the advantages we have gained during this period."
“Deidara, your idea is good, but we lack information about Sunagakure, so this is still somewhat risky.”
With Onoki ordering Deidara's development, Hirotsuchi still needs to occasionally acknowledge his talent.
Moreover, Deidara's idea this time is not bad.
Deidara rubbed his hands together: "Getting intelligence is so easy, I can conduct reconnaissance by flight, which is much faster than you going to investigate."
Huang Tu sized up Deidara. He had been with Deidara for a while and had figured out some ways to communicate with him.
"Alright, you go and scout ahead. If there's an opportunity, we can try your method."
"No problem, leave it to me, okay!"
Deidara excitedly responded and then ran out.
A moment later, a rock hermit came in and reported to Huang Tu:
"Lord Huangtu, Deidara just rode the Clay Bird to Sunagakure."
"Hmm," Huang Tu responded, and dismissed him.
At this moment, Daiwa asked, "Lord Huangtu, are we really going to use Deidara's method?"
Huang Tu shook his head and denied it: "No, I just want to find him something to do."
Everyone present showed expressions of understanding.
Everyone knows what kind of person Deidara is.
All I can say is that I should be thankful if they don't cause any trouble.
“However…” Huang Tu paused.
"It would be good if he could bring us back some valuable intelligence."
……
After Deidara made his clay flying bird, he rode on it and flew towards Sunagakure.
Quickly raise the altitude to an absolutely safe height.
The typical range of ninjutsu attacks is only a few dozen meters.
His altitude reached 300 meters, which is an absolutely safe high-altitude position.
Of course, you can't see the ground clearly from here, since people are smaller than ants.
However, Deidara was prepared. He took out a miniature telescope from his ninja tool bag and attached it to his left eye.
The various scenes on the ground were magnified and brought into his view.
Deidara's life is somewhat miserable right now.
Although Qianyao showed him the various clay bombs he would later create, he quickly figured them out himself.
However, he encountered difficulties when he tried to learn Dust Release.
Given Deidara's intelligence, he was absolutely convinced that he could learn it.
However, the foundation of Dust Release is the fusion of three nature transformations.
He must first thoroughly understand the three property transformations, and practicing property transformations requires repeated and repeated spellcasting.
Deidara didn't have Naruto's ability to cheat with shadow clones, so he had to do it over and over again, which was very tedious.
That's why I followed Huang Tu out to do some tasks.
"Hmm? Brother Scorpion...?"
As Deidara flew, he saw the person from his memory.
Although he knew Scorpion, Scorpion did not know him.
At this height, neither Sasori nor Kakuzu could see Deidara with the naked eye.
Therefore, he can observe with peace of mind.
"Their route?"
"Could it be that they're going to attack our camp?"
Deidara headed towards his camp with a somewhat excited expression.
Since it's our first meeting, we should at least prepare a generous gift for Brother Scorpion.
