Red sand dust

When new weapons and new arms appear that can change the mode of warfare, few people realize the changes they bring.

The emergence of large-scale air combat ninjas means that the previous passive air defense tactics will be completely eliminated.

Regardless of whether you are an optimist or a pessimist, even as smart as Nara Shikamaru, you may not have imagined how terrifying the ninjas with extraordinary power would be after they understood the essence of air-land warfare.

The noise caused by the slight vibration of the forward swept wings didn't seem that objectionable after I gradually got used to it.

Accustomed to the howling cold wind at night in the Land of Wind, the villagers of Sand Hidden Village adapted quickly to this small disturbance.

After realizing that there was no danger, everyone returned to the peaceful life of the past. The only change was that there was one more thing to talk about after dinner.

Families whose children are selected to participate in the trial training of the Sky Team are naturally overjoyed and receive envious looks from their neighbors.

Although the future of these children is still difficult to determine, at least they have made a good start. At the worst, they can become mediocre ninjas in the future and slightly improve their family's predicament.

…

Kankuro, who was taking advantage of his free time to process spare parts for Daimaru's puppet workshop, felt a little sense of accomplishment when he saw the wing armors that he had debugged being put to use.

The young puppet master, who was well aware of the performance of these wing armors, had long expected such a day, so he was not very excited. With a smile that showed that it was going so smoothly, Kankuro walked into his workshop and concentrated on Things at hand.

Nighteye, who was watching the puppet shop where the business was gradually improving, called the surprised temporary clerks back to their posts.

Miss Saya, who paid little attention to external affairs, and her sister Shanai, who was well-informed about the gossip, also noticed all the movements in the sky at the right time.

Temari, who had a rare vacation, invited Qian to go shopping. In the noisy flow of people, she followed everyone to enjoy the not very smooth flight performance.

Without comparison, one would naturally not understand how ridiculous these beginners' on-the-spot showoffs were. For the long-dormant Sunagakure Village, it was already very rare to have good news that people were slightly looking forward to.

Not long after, the students, who didn't care about their physical strength and chakra, could no longer hold on for more than half an hour. Most people are self-aware, and when the time is up, they return to the training base to rest.

There were also two or three young guys who liked to be in the limelight. They used various tricks to show off their superiority in mid-air. As a result, they were exhausted and fell from the sky. One of them almost hit the crowd and injured others.

Fortunately, seeing that the situation was not going well, Gaara waved his hand, and the rising sand cushion caught them. At Daimaru's signal, he threw them unceremoniously on the street, causing a dog to chew on the mud.

The half-grown boy grinned in pain, blushed with embarrassment, and ran away amidst the not-so-malicious laughter of the surrounding villagers.

"These idiots, we must show them some color later!"

The instructor who thinks he has great prestige and his "follow-up" teachings are actually not taken seriously. Where can he put his face?

"That's it..."

Sunagami, who arrived belatedly, only saw the second half. A few students showed off their skills but accidentally overturned, which happened to be noticed by his eyes. He was not young at all, and he had seen the ninjas making fools of themselves during the test flight many times. What did this trivial matter mean?

"That's good, Daimaru, they are just kids! You are young too, and you have plenty of time to teach, so you don't have to be so impatient!"

"I made you laugh!"

There are too few sand ninjas who follow the rules. Even these young boys might get into trouble if they don't pay attention.

"The effect is okay!"

Long Sha, who was calm and collected, watched the last winged armor fall slowly and disappear in a corner of the village.

"In any case, the huge investment is worth it..."

"The key is the next step, how to take advantage of the air combat ninja..."

Fu Yi, who had not said much, was very concerned about forming an aerial team and spared no effort in his investment.

Daimaru hesitated for a moment, then said:

"The training of aerial combat ninjas is quite troublesome. Not only are wing armors very expensive, but it is also difficult to select qualified candidates with talents. During the training period, a lot of manpower and material resources are spent. It is impossible to have too many such precious special combat powers. But each one is precious. Regarding its combat mode, I think we should first set up imaginary enemies and develop targeted tactics..."

"imaginary enemy?"

The elders present were a little surprised, and Ma Ji asked with some doubts,

"Can't they be fully developed like regular ninjas?"

"You can, but it's not necessary, and the qualification requirements are too high..."

Daimaru smiled bitterly and replied,

"Everyone knows the advantages and disadvantages of today's thirteen trial trainees. Apart from their high chakra activity and being very suitable for controlling wing armor, their other qualifications are mediocre. With these, most of this year's graduates have been All the qualified people are caught in one fell swoop. Where are the talents who are truly promising to be comprehensively cultivated and can be encountered casually?"

Fu Yi thought for a while and nodded:

"This is indeed the truth. You can't be greedy. A brand-new fighting ninja must gradually accumulate experience and slowly improve..."

Another reason that cannot be said is that for comprehensive training, the training cycle is bound to be very long and more resources are required. Nowadays, the cost of training an aerial combat ninja is already a bit distressing. If there are too many additional expenses, the village will not be able to bear it.

"That's fine!"

Huang Sha and Sha Shang looked at each other and agreed with this opinion.

"So, who is the imaginary enemy of the air combat troops in your mind?"

"Weakly defended logistics bases, wounded soldier camps, and transport teams on the battlefield; as well as enemy ninjas that can fly..."

The former, in the minds of other Sand Ninja, can be simply compared to the fragile second-line force of the Iwa Ninja who are good at positional combat; the latter, the floating ninjas of Iwagakure Village who use Earth Release and Super Light Heavy Rock Jutsu have always been a source of harassment and If there is an aerial team to detect the main force of Sand Ninja, all this will no longer be a problem.

"Can!"

Fu Yi was the first to express support.

Dealing with the Iwa Ninja is the "righteousness" of Sunagakure Village. It can increase the winning rate of feudal killings and there will never be a shortage of fans.

Sunagakure Village, which has re-established an alliance with Konohagakure, currently has its only enemy, the Iwa ninja who have been in conflict with each other. If you don't target them, who should you target?

As for revenge against the damned Orochimaru, that is something the Kazekage Godaime has to consider, so let’s put it aside for the time being.
