Chapter 447: Attack and Defense of Crab Island!

Crab Island!
Located in the sea area south of the castle tower.

It is also the headquarters of the castle tower army.

Compared with the size of several small teams on other islands, almost half of the defenders are gathered here.

At the same time, the younger generation of the castle tower, such as Honglian, Uchiha Inahiya, etc., are also stationed here.

The two sides used their base camp as the core, and then fought for the surrounding islands in the area, trying to weave an encirclement to defeat the other side.

Although the castle tower is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But their personal qualities are stronger. After all, the Mist Ninjas did not go into battle, and those ninjas who went into battle wore Mist Ninja forehead protectors, but their strength was really not that good.

Even if it doesn't reach the level of "I want to fight ten people", fighting one against a few is completely simple and enjoyable.

The point is not these, but the difference in logistics supply.

The castle tower not only has healing potions, but also detonating tags and various ninja tools. In terms of survivability, it is many levels ahead of the opponent.

Therefore, up to now in the battle, the casualties ratio between the two sides has been extremely disparate.

The castle tower lost less than a hundred ninjas, while the Mist Ninjas lost nearly a thousand.

Please note that these are just cannon fodder wearing Mist Ninja forehead protectors, which does not mean that their strength is as strong as the Mist Ninjas.

The ninjas bred by the five major ninja villages are definitely much stronger than those of ordinary small ninja villages at the same level, not to mention wandering ninjas and wild ninjas.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable that the two sides had such a large casualty ratio. If it was not this ratio, then we would have to suspect whether the castle tower gave it away on purpose.

However, the situation was different after the 'real' Mist Ninja army was dispatched.

The casualty ratio on both sides decreased rapidly.

Although the castle tower still has advantages in terms of logistics, it does not have many other advantages.

And today is the day when the Mist Ninja army swept across the surrounding islands like thunder and headed straight to the Crab Island.

As long as this island, which stores most of the supplies for the castle tower front line, is captured, even if the ninja suffers little loss, they will have no choice but to retreat.

Being a ninja is a profession that relies heavily on logistics.

At least on a large-scale battlefield.
Because refining chakra requires a lot of food supply, otherwise, can chakra really appear out of thin air?

So the bigger the war, the higher the demand for food.

Finally, there are various secret medicines and military pills, which are also necessary to maintain one's own condition.

Huge warships began to form a semi-encircled formation in the south of the island.

There is a Mist Ninja on board!

It’s not that I don’t know how to tread water, but it’s to save energy and chakra.

After all, treading water all the time will consume energy, so why not use the boat if you have one?

Well...the warships of the Mist Ninja are extremely large, and they are equipped with fishing crossbows, cannons, catapults and other war machines.

Although it is called a battleship, its real combat power lies in the Mist Ninjas on standby. These war machines are useful against ordinary people, but not so useful against ninjas.

The number of super-large warships that are hundreds of meters long alone exceeds double digits, not to mention the other ships.

If all the numbers are added up, the number of this fleet has exceeded 100.

Simply heartless!
You have to know that these are not merchant ships or fishing boats, they are all warships built for naval battles.

Only one of the five major countries, the Water Kingdom, can produce warships of this size.

The land of water!
The ship belongs to the Water Country, but it was given to the Mist Ninja for use.

Otherwise, the Mist Ninjas alone would not be able to support such a fleet.

Judging from the battle formation alone, the Mist Ninjas had an overwhelming momentum, as if they wanted to swallow up nearly a thousand Castle Tower Ninjas on the Crab Island in one gulp.

Why are there still nearly a thousand ninjas even though they lost over a hundred?

Of course, the castle tower has been constantly in "cultivation" mode, constantly replenishing manpower.

In the past, the school only trained a total of 300 ninjas, and the rest were all reserves, which means 50 graduates each year.

However, with the development of the castle tower, the emergence of a large population, and the migration of major ninja clans, the number of ninjas they trained each year increased directly. Now, more than two hundred ninjas graduate every year.

Note that these people do not include some "family-style" trained ninjas.

Judging from the number of ninjas trained alone, the castle tower is completely catching up with the five major ninja villages.

If you have money and resources, you can do whatever you want!

That is to say, there are not too many potential ninjas, otherwise the number that can be trained will be even more exaggerated. Although the castle tower is far less famous than the five major ninja villages, if we really talk about income...

Therefore, once they occupy the Water Kingdom, they can harvest ninja seedlings from the entire country to train, and then they will enter a "boom period".

Although this kind of civilian ninja has low potential, Dohei and his team don't need seedlings with too high potential.

The two sides are at war with each other!

The fortress on the Crab Island was built against the mountain, located in the extremely solid mountain wall, with only a few shooting holes exposed.

There are also many war machines such as cannons and crossbows.

These things are not used to deal with ninjas, but to deal with warships.

Of course, if it is a large-scale ninja charge, these things can also come in handy.

Combined with a large number of traps, the defense of Crab Island is as solid as a rock.

However, facing the full-strength attack of the Mist Ninja, this defense seemed insignificant.

With more than 5,000 ninja soldiers and these warships, it is definitely not something that the castle tower defenders of less than a thousand people can stop.

So the Mist Ninjas are full of confidence.

In the fortress on the island.

"Hmph, it looks like the Mist Ninja is planning to attack us?"

Uchiha Xiang looked through the observation hole at the fleet in the distance, as well as the ninjas jumping onto the sea surface, and snorted with some dissatisfaction in his tone.

He had naturally received information about the internal strife of the Mist Ninja, and naturally understood why the other side did not retreat but advanced instead.

They were planning to bully them because their castle tower was not strong enough, and wanted to use them as stepping stones to prove that the Mist Ninja was still strong and had not been weakened by the internal strife.

Uchiha Sho was dissatisfied because he felt that the castle tower was underestimated.

Even though they have only been in the castle tower for a few years, all the Uchiha from the eldest branch consider this place as their real "home".

After all, not only will they not be tamed like hunting dogs, they will also receive all kinds of welfare benefits and respect. How can people not be satisfied?

Even the Uchiha from Konoha, who had never given up their plan to let them go back, were rejected.

No one wants to go back to Konoha, a place where they are excluded and oppressed, and no one is born a masochist.

Even if someone asked them about their relationship with the Uchiha of Konoha now, they would probably say "we are not familiar with each other".

After venting his anger, Uchiha Sho looked at his subordinates around him.

Among them are new generation elites such as Yakushi Nono, Uchiha Inahib, etc.

This is a rare opportunity for training, so naturally they want to fight.

As for fear of danger?

Sorry, if you're really scared, then don't be a ninja.

Even for Honglian, the next generation leader whom Tang Ping and his men valued the most, they could only provide him with sufficient conditions but would not send anyone to protect him.

Only those who have emerged from the war are recognized by them as the new generation leaders.

In this regard, Uchiha Mei is hawkish and ruthless.

Tang Ping didn't say anything, he just took the flesh and blood tissue in advance and recorded the chakra at the same time.

Well, he has already obtained the Impure World Reincarnation. If he has flesh and blood, he can naturally come out of the Impure World. If combined with Chiyo's secret technique, he will immediately have a complete channel for resurrection.

Unfortunately, Chiyo had just come up with an idea and was still a long way from completing the development, so Dohei and Konan were extremely anxious and wanted to jump out and develop for the other party.

But it’s okay, as long as you have the idea.

Anyway, whenever Konan has time, she likes to hang out in the Sand Village, and she treats Dohei like a god.

Because a few years ago, when the other party didn't even have this idea, he had already predicted this in advance. How could she not admire him?

Soon, a Mist Ninja came over from the sea to kill them.

"Prepare for battle!!"

Uchiha Sho is full of fighting spirit.

Intelligence had come in earlier that the support team had already set out, but would find an opportunity to join the battlefield, giving him, the front-line commander, freedom to perform his duties.

Although he didn't know how to perform, Uchiha Xiang naturally wouldn't give up easily.

Thus, a bloody battle began between the two sides.
