Chapter 1064: War Begins and Two Days

The border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire.

On a desolate desert, towering stone pillars could be seen everywhere. These stone pillars were originally built by humans, but unfortunately, under the great power of nature, the humans who wanted to live here were defeated, leaving only these stone pillars, while other buildings had been buried under the yellow sand.

Some stone pillars were about thirty meters high, while others had been eroded by wind and sand to only a dozen centimeters high. These stone pillars were arranged in the desert without any regularity.

Su Xiao lay on a stone pillar. The position he was in would become the main battlefield before long.

Regarding the Ninja World War, Su Xiao was actually not afraid, provided he didn't encounter a ninja whose strength crushed him.

Su Xiao had already experienced human-sea tactics many times. According to the situation he knew, the troops of the Allied Shinobi Forces were around eighty thousand, mostly genin, and quite a few chunin, while Jonin and Kage-level were actually not many.

As for his side, one hundred thousand Zetsu + Edo Tensei troops + Obito, Kabuto, and others. Kabuto himself didn't count as combat power; he had said before that he wouldn't participate directly in the war.

Adding both sides together, the troops were less than two hundred thousand, most of whom were "water goods." The role played by those one hundred thousand Zetsu was mainly to hold off the offensive of the Allied Shinobi Forces' main troops.

In Su Xiao's view, ninjas were different from soldiers. Ninjas belonged to the type with strong individual combat ability, and team cooperation was just so-so. At most, they could use some combination-type ninjutsu; there was no need to think about battle formations at all.

Su Xiao had participated in battlefields of hundreds of thousands of people in world wars. The strength of those soldiers was definitely no match for ninjas one-on-one, but those soldiers could form terrifying battle formations.

Su Xiao had personally seen several Troll-race members with attributes of 80 points being torn into sky-filling minced meat in just 7 seconds under the charge of a battle formation.

There was also the charge of the even stronger Dwarf heavy cavalry regiment. One round of charging created corpses everywhere, which could be called an iron frenzy.

Su Xiao even doubted that if the ninja world didn't have those ninjas with strong individual strength, whether 8,000 ninjas, including Jonin, could block the charge of 2,000 Dwarf heavy cavalry was unknown.

In fact, this kind of comparison was somewhat unfair. Those Dwarf heavy cavalry were cultivated for war, and their individual combat ability was not very good.

Ninjas were suitable for carrying out missions in small groups. This was like letting a group of assassins form an army, which was a very ridiculous thing.

However, these assassins had really formed an army. They were actually aggressive, and what they were about to face was Su Xiao, who had been baptized by medieval cold-weapon wars.

"Let Zetsu form that kind of formation? Really no problem?"

Obito on a stone pillar not far away spoke.

"Of course no problem. Have you seen cold-weapon wars?"

"It's just war, I have even experienced it."

Obito's tone was somewhat disdainful. He had participated in the Third Ninja World War.

"What you participated in is not called war; it counts at most as some ninjas skilled in assassination fighting in the wild."

Su Xiao sat up and lit a cigarette.

"True cold-weapon war is two armies charging at each other and then fighting into a mass. When the war ends, thousands of tons of the dead's flesh and blood will be left on the battlefield. Have you ever tried charging up a high slope and having your ankles submerged by the blood of the dead on the slope? 'Blood flowing like a river' is not a metaphor. Piles of corpses—as long as there is fire oil on the slope, they can be burned to ashes in less than half an hour."

Su Xiao spat out a puff of blue smoke. He recalled the scene of the war world. At that time, everything on the battlefield was green or red; green was green phosphorus fire incendiary bottles, and red was flesh and blood.

Obito's eyes narrowed. In the wars he had witnessed, such a scene could not possibly appear.

"Although Zetsu hasn't undergone professional training, they can't just rush up brainlessly. That is the most brainless behavior."

Su Xiao was shocked by Obito's rough-to-the-point-of-being-eye-stinging plan when he heard it earlier. The way he used Zetsu was just letting Zetsu form a large army and charge at the Allied Shinobi Forces with a numerical advantage.

Of course, Zetsu could disguise themselves as others, which was not a small advantage.

However, in Su Xiao's view, letting Zetsu form the simplest battle formation, using Wood Style to get some shields or weapons, etc., and forming a "T-shaped formation" or "C-shaped formation" to charge was the most correct choice.

Su Xiao had seen infantry charges on the scale of one hundred thousand people. That was the first time he had the feeling of his legs going soft. Later, he got used to it after killing and killing.

Whether it was Obito or the Five Kage, they were all ninjas. What they were best at was small-scale fighting. Large-scale wars had only broken out three times since the appearance of ninja villages, and now this one was in a state of being about to break out.

Looking at that war world again, large-scale war was the most common thing for the soldiers of that world; that was a part of their lives.

Although Su Xiao hadn't commanded an army, he had personally participated in cold-weapon wars and knew how terrifying it was when a large group of Orcs formed a battle formation. Once Orcs formed a battle formation with a number of over 5,000, Su Xiao would turn and retreat; there was simply no way to fight that.

Although Zetsu couldn't form a battle formation that was tight and could advance and retreat in an orderly manner, according to the formation arranged by Su Xiao, it was clearly much better than rushing up brainlessly.

In Su Xiao's view, let Zetsu form ten columns, each column with ten thousand Zetsu, then two or three small teams would form a surrounding posture, try to surround and kill small groups of the Allied Shinobi Forces, quickly cannibalize them, and then retreat immediately, thereby putting pressure on the Allied Shinobi Forces.

As for who would command, of course it was Orochimaru-Kabuto. Kabuto's Edo Tensei ability allowed him to overlook the entire battlefield.

What was a pity was that whether it was Obito or Kabuto, they both had only a smattering of knowledge about large-scale war. Su Xiao had participated in large-scale cold-weapon wars and knew how terrifying it was, but he was not good at commanding.

【Hint: The Hunter is about to participate in the large-scale plot event "Fourth Ninja World War."】

【During the Hunter's participation in the large-scale plot event, you will not be able to immediately obtain World Source after killing enemies. After this event ends, rewards will be calculated, and World Source will be obtained.】

【Hint: The large-scale plot event "Fourth Ninja World War" is divided into three stages.】

【The first stage is: Obito's Six Paths Transformation.】

【The second stage is: Uchiha Madara's Resurrection.】

【The third stage is: Otsutsuki Clan.】

【Hint: The Hunter can exit the large-scale plot event "Fourth Ninja World War" after completing any of the three stages and settle the rewards.】

【Hint: If the Hunter forcibly exits the "Large-Scale Plot Event: Fourth Ninja World War" before the completion of any stage, rewards will not be settled.】

【Hint: The development of "Third Stage: Otsutsuki Clan" can be changed. If the Hunter reaches an alliance with "Uchiha Madara" in the second stage and prevents the resurrection of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the third stage will be changed to "Strongest Madara."】

【Hint: Main Quest: Prelude to the Ninja World War (Completed).】

【Yes/No to complete "Main Quest: Prelude to the Ninja World War." If this quest is completed, the Hunter will return to Reincarnation Paradise within 10 seconds (must be in a non-combat state).】

【Hint: Because the main quest has been completed but not submitted, the remaining stay time is 3 natural days.】

This series of hints contained a large amount of information. The most important thing was that Su Xiao's stay time was reduced to 3 days. It seemed very short, but in reality, it was already enough, because in the original work, the Ninja World War only lasted two days.

Although it was very funny, the facts were indeed so. A war of nearly 200,000 people only took two days to decide the winner. In fact, from this point, one could see what the war level of the ninja world was like.

If it were a total troop strength of over one million, then a war of nearly 200,000 people only lasting two days would mean this war was very tragic. But the final decisive battle only lasted two days, which was somewhat confusing. Did both sides just simply kill each other? Without much strategy?

In fact, both sides were really just killing each other. There was no strategy. This wasn't because the command was brainless, but because the individual strength of humans in this world was too strong.

The battle of ninja troops was nothing more than using a large amount of ninjutsu to fight each other first, and then close-combat fighting after chakra was not much.

Conversely, if small groups fought, the fighting was exceptionally intense, with all kinds of scheming.

Just as Su Xiao was checking the hints, a large sound of chaotic footsteps came. It was the vanguard of the Allied Shinobi Forces that had arrived, about a few dozen ninjas.

Su Xiao lost interest. He now wanted to know one thing: what would happen if he rushed into the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces? With his experience in large-scale cold-weapon wars, he should be able to kill a large area.

In close-combat fighting, most ninjutsu were very chicken-rib abilities. They needed hand seals, which led to a long activation time. Although the killing range was large, it was easy to accidentally injure one's own side in close-combat fighting. Moreover, even if it was a Jonin, after using a few A-level ninjutsu, they basically had no chakra left.

Su Xiao was different. His sword art was very suitable for chaotic fighting, and he had the talent ability "Soul Eater" to restore health and mana after killing enemies. As long as he wasn't killed in seconds or fought until he was exhausted, he would almost have no life danger in large-scale cold-weapon wars.
