Chapter 784

Ninjas are also people, and they also need to eat, drink, and poop.

Without a food source, the morale of the Rain Ninjas will soon be shaken, and if it continues to drag on, it is very likely that they will collapse without being attacked.

This brilliant plan of drawing the firewood from under the cauldron was just proposed by Tsunade, and was immediately agreed upon by Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

So, the three immediately changed the plan, changing the strategy of surprise attacking the Rain Ninja camp to a surprise attack on the Rain Plain.

With the cooperation of the Sannin, the Konoha troops of nearly a thousand people did not alarm anyone.

Under Orochimaru's snake-servant technique, the Rain Ninja sentries along the way were all pulled out without anyone knowing.

Because Hanzo of the Salamander and the Rain Ninjas focused all their energy on the three Rain Ninja gathering places, Konoha's action of going straight to the Rain Plain was not noticed at all.

After arriving at the Rain Plain, the Konoha ninjas began to act separately.

For a time, fire and flying dust were all over the Rain Plain; almost instantly, the originally fertile fields became a mess.

Under the effect of ninjutsu, destroying the fields on this plain was simply easy for the Konoha ninjas.

After succeeding, the Konoha ninjas began to evacuate along the pre-planned path, without being greedy for merit or advancing rashly.

After the Konoha ninjas left for a period of time, Hanzo of the Salamander, who was slow to realize, arrived late with the Rain Ninjas.

But at this moment, everything was already too late.

Unless Senju Hashirama is reborn, no one can save this fertile land that has been completely destroyed.

Looking at the messy Rain Plain, Hanzo of the Salamander clenched his fists.

He had already anticipated what would happen next.

The grain and grass stored by the Rain Ninjas could still last for a month; originally, one month later would be the time for harvesting grain in the Land of Rain, and at that time, the grain and grass reserves of the Rain Ninjas would also be perfectly connected.

But now, everything has been destroyed.

Grain and grass have now become the biggest constraint plaguing Hanzo of the Salamander.

The Land of Rain is located in the cracks between three major countries, and the road to obtain grain and grass from neighboring countries has also been completely blocked.

First of all, the Land of Fire, which is the richest and does not lack grain, is now the mortal enemy of the Rain Ninjas, so there is no need to mention it.

Another relatively rich one is the Land of Earth, and although Iwagakure and the Rain Ninjas are calm on the surface at the moment, the filth behind the scenes is still not small.

Finally, there is the Land of Wind; the Land of Wind is resource-poor, and its own grain is not enough to eat, so where is there any spare power to support the Rain Ninjas?

Thinking about it, Hanzo of the Salamander can only pin his hopes on the Mist, which has a secret alliance relationship.

Hoping to obtain enough grain and grass from the transaction with the Mist to tide over the difficulties.

The depression in his chest made Hanzo of the Salamander want to look up to the sky and howl, but when he raised his head to look at the sky, he finally endured it.

At this moment, the feeling of powerlessness in Hanzo of the Salamander's heart emerged again.

Let him calculate everything, but the constraints brought by the poor resources and combat power of the Land of Rain always make him fall short at critical moments.

Hanzo understands that people can move and hide.

But the crops in the fields cannot move or hide, so as long as Konoha has the heart to attack here, it will be destroyed sooner or later.

The main reason for the grain crisis of the Rain Ninjas is still the poverty of the Land of Rain.

It's like this again.

In the large Rain Ninja, there is not a single person who can share the pressure on Hanzo of the Salamander's shoulders.

The Rain Ninjas at the moment seem very strong, but in fact, this strength is all brought by Hanzo of the Salamander alone; once Hanzo of the Salamander falls, this Rain Ninja will also completely fall apart.

Thinking of this, Hanzo of the Salamander's heart is inevitably a bit tired.

Originally, he had already relied on his strategy to take the initiative on the battlefield, but who would have thought that Konoha would withdraw as soon as they said, putting on a posture of "see who can consume whom."

This family business and confidence are always difficult for Hanzo of the Salamander, who comes from a small family, to reach.

Not only that, Konoha saw his lifeline and directly attacked the grain-producing area of the Land of Rain, making his grain supply directly unsustainable.

But the same trick, if he chose to replicate it, would have no effect on Konoha at all.

Because for the rich Land of Fire, even if the Rain Ninjas destroyed large areas of fields in the Land of Fire, these losses would be a drop in the bucket and would not affect Konoha in the slightest.

If the Rain Ninjas really did this, it would instead give Konoha an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and consume the combat power of the Rain Ninjas.

After the two separate implementations of avoiding the enemy's sharpness and drawing the firewood from under the cauldron by Konoha, the balance of the war has undergone a subtle deflection under the wings of the butterfly.
