All night was fine, and the next morning, the Hanyu team hurriedly ended the night of rest, and then continued to rush forward. After a day and a half passed, they arrived at the front line command post before the deadline.

The reason why the great powers with strong military power can tolerate the existence of small countries and small ninja villages with insufficient strength is, on the one hand, because the division of world borders and territories itself is affected by historical and geographical factors; on the other hand, the deliberate efforts between major powers are to leave a buffer zone for each other.

Otherwise, when the system of one village and one country is established, the fate of those small countries will be only left to be pushed and eroded by the big countries.

So far, the existence of small countries retaining their existence on the border has been proven to be a correct decision, because no matter how far the current ninja world war is fought, the main battlefield has always been on such a buffer zone and in the territory of small countries.

Even whether it was the First Ninja World War or the subsequent wars, the main battlefield was like this... Indeed, in every war, villages like Konoha fought fiercely, but even worse, they were always sandwiched between the Country of Fire, the Country of Wind, and the Country of Earth.

This does not even accuse Konoha of deliberately bullying the weak. The reason is very simple. When the war is in front of two options: fighting in one's own country and fighting in other countries, anyone will choose the latter.

Therefore, even though the war damage of ninjas was very serious in military terms, the production and other facilities in the major powers were not irreversibly damaged, so the war could last longer, so the great powers and the great ninja village were soon able to recover their vitality after the war.

Compared with countries like Umeno Country and Tano Country, the Kawano Country where Hanyu and others are currently located is actually not small in terms of area, but it did not have any ability to resist during the war in the ninja world. The reason is that there is no ninja village in this country.

At present, Konoha has about 4,000 ninjas deployed in the territory of Kawa Country. In order to achieve a balance of power with Konoha, at least the number of Sand Ninjas should be the same as Konoha, so this country has been filled with dense ninjas.

In fact, Hanyu always thinks that the ninjas are actually quite stupid when they are gathered together. Flexible team combat is the characteristic of ninjas. It is the samurai rather than ninjas who are group-based deployment and instigating large-scale attacks. Should ninjas be lined up and shouting slogans to launch attacks?

But at present, this kind of deployment and combat method is not something that a village or a country can decide. When the war has reached this level, either side can only concentrate its forces to attack.

The kind of "extraordinary ninja" war style that Hanyu imagined was determined by small-scale battles, which only existed in the war-torn era before the establishment of the ninja system. When ninjas formed a village, their power was much stronger than that of the clan war period, and the scale of the battle naturally expanded uncontrollably.

Of course, even if the manpower is arranged so densely, the battle between the ninjas will not completely lose their characteristics... Indeed, both major ninjas have arranged heavy troops in Kawano Country, but unless it is a strategic-level decisive battle, neither side will be able to suppress their own strength in one fell swoop.

At present, most of the battles between Satsui and Konoha are still mainly due to the encounters between sporadic small troops. Both sides are patient and attempting to consume each other's strength bit by bit... To put it bluntly, the war has now entered a strategic stalemate stage.

After arriving here and reporting to the front line command, Hanyu's team was dispatched just a few hours later, as he had expected.

Before Naruto arrived, Konoha's commander-in-chief was Uchiha Mitsuki. When he was in the village, Mitsuko could shout and drink at Uchiha Mitsuki, and Hanyu could see him often, but that situation would never happen here. Hanyu didn't even have the qualifications to meet the other party for the time being.

After the report was completed, Hanyu returned to the team members with the mission. He opened the task map he had just obtained, pointed to a small area above and said, "Since the reconnaissance team in this area had completely lost contact, the command center speculated that they had been killed and now we need to take over."

Although the words "speculation" are used, in fact, both the command center and Hanyu can determine that the team of ninjas are dead... In such places, as long as the ninjas' regular contacts are not delivered to the command center on time, they will be judged to be dead.

"Where is the time?" Narazusa asked the team when they lost contact.

"It's been seven hours." Hanyu told everyone about the information he received from the command center. Generally speaking, the regular contacts of front-line ninjas are conducted every six hours. In case of an emergency, special signals will be sent. However, the team that Hanyu and the others are going to take over did not send out signals or contact them regularly. The biggest possibility is that they have been silently resolved by the enemy.

"What is our mission, offense or defense?" Nara asked again.

"Defense, our mission is to guard that area. If there are small groups of sand ninjas infiltrated, annihilate it; if it is an invasion of an enemy of medium or above, we must promptly warn the command center." Hanyu said. When he was assigned a mission, he also asked specifically whether to collect the whereabouts of the missing ninja team or investigate the cause of their death, and this question was completely rejected.

Ninjas die here every day, and the command center has no energy to investigate the cause of their deaths one by one, nor has the energy to retrieve their remains.

"The time limit is five days, and someone will rotate us after five days. If we don't get the rotation command after one week, we will be allowed to voluntarily withdraw... Are there any problems with the mission?"

"No more." The three members shook their heads together, and Hanyu's explanation of the task was clear enough.

"Okay, then we will start to arrange combat formations below because they are defense missions. In order to ensure a broad vision and not be quenched, I am going to adopt a scattered station arrangement. The basic formation is the 't' formation. Nara and I are at the front to deal with the first attack. Ten meters behind are Renjuro, who is responsible for reconnaissance and transmission of information to the front and back. Twenty meters behind are Chihiro, who is Chihiro, you must ensure sufficient height and vision, and be careful to support us at any time... Be careful, because the position is too open, you must hide yourself, otherwise once the rear is raided, it will be difficult for us to return to the rescue."

"Are you any opinions on the formation?"

Everyone shook their heads again.

It is hard to believe that the people who arrange tactics now and those who listen to tactics are all fourteen-year-old children. They are too calm and too cruel. Ninjas are not killing machines, and everyone knows this, but they are constantly urging themselves to evolve in the direction of the killing machines.

Even if he was about to enter the battlefield, Hanyu's thinking was still very clear and his language was extremely accurate and concise... The first battle formation was absolutely impossible to push him psychologically.

Hanyu fully understood the task he received, that is, they could die, but had to pass on the information of death, so he adopted a dispersed formation arrangement. The most dangerous thing in this formation was actually Chichihe. In fact, she was already out of touch with the front. If she encountered an irresistible enemy in the front, she would be the last guarantee for returning the information. If the enemy came out from the rear or flank, she would die immediately.

"Okay, check the equipment and supply..."

"No problem? Let's go!"

Hanyu and his team members rechecked the items they carried with them.
