Chapter 301: 294: Infancy
The Land of Winds, Sand Dunes located in the Northwest.
On the endless yellow sand, a circular base building with an unusually large scale rose from the ground.
The outer layer was built with hard, special stone materials, which could effectively prevent bombardment from explosive tags and ninjutsu. The 20-meter high wall kept everything inside tightly confidential, making it impossible for outsiders to peek inside.
On the tall and thick walls of the base, a ninja from the Land of Demons stood guard, keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding desert scene to prevent potential enemy raids.
Above the vast circular base, a spherical light film shimmered under the sun's refraction, casting a faint blue glow. It was a barrier which served to thwart infiltration and intercept ezplosive tags and ninjutsu. This protective barrier extended not only across the sky but also enveloped the underground area. It facilitated rapid rescue operations for the Land of Demons' ninjas in case of an air strike or underground infiltration.
However, this base had only completed its outermost protective layer for the time being. The various buildings inside were still under frenzied construction. These construction materials had been prepared years ago, ready to be used to completely blockade this area and establish firm control once they invaded the Land of Wind.
Since overcoming the support troops led by the Fourth Kazekage, Suna's frequent small-scale harassment occurred, yet large-scale invasions were absent. Suna aimed to test the Land of Demons' next strategy through these repeated small-scale operations.
Having lost the advantage, Suna adopted a cautious approach. For example, how many ninja from the Land of Demons had invaded the Land of Wind, whether there were air troops among them, how many Jonin were present, whether Chiba Shiraishi and Hyuga Ayane had arrived alongside Uchiha Ruri - these were all unknown and dangerous factors for Suna.
Despite various small-scale squad harassments, approaching the tall military base remained impossible. Ninja Eagles attempting aerial reconnaissance were met with explosives fired from the base, shattering in mid-air.
