A reasonably developed ninja world

In fact, only by actually participating in it will you know how much work it takes to transform the dead forest. Nagata estimates that he will not arrange other projects until graduation.

The Death Forest Project is based on the forest on the east side of Konoha. It is almost equivalent to a large-scale project to rebuild Konoha.

Although, above the Hokage Rock, Konoha has built many large training grounds. But that is using the natural terrain, just leveling it with earth escape is enough.

In the forest of death, there is no need to move except for the central area. Large areas of virgin forest need to be moved away.

In a forest where underground roots are entangled with each other, the power of earth escape is almost reduced to a minimum. And large areas of fire escape can easily cause forest fires. Once it spreads to Konoha, the consequences will be disastrous. In time, the Nanhe River passes through the middle of the Death Forest. The water escape of most ninjas cannot reach very far.

Most of the projects need to be completed manually. Including the tall tower in the middle of the Death Forest. Manpower is also needed to transport materials from Konoha.

The structures built by Earth Release are not permanently effective until the chakra that maintains the ninjutsu naturally dissipates. The walls of the city made by Earth escape will become sparse due to the disappearance of the chakra originally used for support inside, forming bubble-like or network-like holes. In other words, the things made by Earth escape were extremely hard at the time. Later, a child might kick him and he would fall down.

This is true even for Wood Release, when the active chakra inside Wood Release disappears. The wood created by Wood Release will turn into something like rotten wood, but because Hashirama's chakra nature is too active, Wood Release lasts longer.

If possible, it is better to use artificial materials. The students from the ninja school were pulled over to do this.

The second-year students are required to cut down the trees bit by bit on the periphery, cut them into wooden boards of the specified size, and transport them back to Konoha for storage. These materials will be used whether they are used for cooking or building a secret room in the ANBU, so as not to waste them.

In the process of labor, of course, we will also encounter some poisonous insects and beasts. On the outskirts of Konoha Forest, naturally they are not powerful characters. Under the teacher's care, these become the perfect teaching materials.

Nagata and others must follow the road opened by the ANBU and deliver the materials to the heart of the Death Forest. More dangerous and more tiring. After all, the current trucks in the ninja world are all rickshaws. It's like the rickshaw in the old Shanghai movie we watched. There is a horizontal bar in front of the car, and people push hard. In an environment like the forest, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward.

After delivering the materials to the designated location, Nagata and others need to fight with the beasts in the death forest under the guidance of ANBU and others.

The previous training arranged by the Ninja School was basically based on survival and gathering. If you can't beat it, you can avoid it. If there were casualties, it was because of bad luck or because they ran into the territory of other beasts in a panic. Fighting should be avoided if possible.

Now, Nagata and others are required to take the initiative to participate in the battle, and the requirements are higher. But with ANBU on the side, security can be said to have improved.

After delivering the materials, it doesn't mean that Nagata and others can practice with peace of mind. We still have to send food and supplies. In Nagata’s words, “I’m really acting like a cow now.”

After the entire project is completed, a huge, nearly concentric structure will be formed. In the center is a forest full of ferocious beasts, and around it is a training ground divided into pieces.

The main stream of the Nanhe River passes through the middle of the Death Forest, splitting the concentric circle into two sides. It also provides the beasts in the forest with a source of water for survival.

Once this plan is completed, it will match well with Konoha's own defense system.

To put it most directly, by increasing the distance between the forest and Konoha, it can effectively reduce the possibility of wild beasts attacking Konoha.

Animals that call the forest home rarely leave the forest unless they encounter drastic changes in the environment. Occasionally I leave the forest and wander on the plains, but I don't go too far. It can greatly reduce the pressure on Konoha's defense forces.

If analyzed from the perspective of war, the Death Forest can also play a very good defensive role.

Geographically speaking, the forest of death is a huge concentric circle. The left side is bounded by the cliff where Shadow Rock is located. On the right is a large area of ​​virgin forest. Above, it extends to the important distributary of Nanhe River.

It is from here that the Nanga River branches off an important tributary that flows through Konoha. The water intake problem of Konoha Village basically depends on this tributary.

The forest has been transformed into a flat training ground. Without the obstruction of trees, the vision will become very wide. Only a small number of people are needed to monitor a large area. Even from the cliff, you can see farther. You can easily detect whether an enemy is poisoning the water source, or use earth escape to change the terrain and cut off Konoha's drinking water.

If an enemy tried to sneak into Konoha from the east, they would have to pass through a long area without any cover, which would be almost impossible.

Think more deeply, because you don’t have to worry about wild beasts in the forest accidentally touching and trapping you. Konoha can only open a few specific training grounds for ninja training, and safely dig in at other training grounds. It takes a few years to build traps, and you can definitely build them to the point where the enemy will doubt their life.

In this way, you only need to arm yourself on the specially reserved safe path. Once the enemy wants to attack Konoha from this direction, they must either pay a heavy price to eliminate the trap, or follow the prescribed route and be intercepted by Konoha's side who are well prepared.

In this way, to the north of Konoha Village is the empty Hokage Rock Sky Barrier, and to the east is the heavily prepared Death Forest. The west side is the space reserved for the development of Konoha Village. To the south is the direction of the Konoha Gate, used for the entry and exit of caravans and ninjas. It can be said that it is very thoughtful.

Such a huge project requires the efforts of a village to complete. The real difficulty is not physical labor such as cutting down trees. But it's about the beasts in the forest of death.

Konoha's side treated this project completely with the standards of a small battle.

At the junction of the east side of Konoha and the forest, the Konoha Security Force assigned personnel to patrol. Put up a line of defense. The regular garrison is the ninja school. If a large beast came out for a walk after it was full, the second-year students of the ninja school would resist under the organization of the teacher. It's best to solve it yourself. Even if it cannot be solved, relying on the numerical advantage, it can still support the arrival of the security force.

After all, most of the beasts are solitary due to the quantity of food. Those who can form groups are not so cruel.

The ANBU went deep into the center of the forest, opened a road, and then built a simple camp centered on the predetermined location of the tower, and then radiated out to clean up the wild beasts.

In terms of personnel configuration, Konoha's security force is a regular defense corps. ANBU is the sharp knife assault force. Nagata and others are the logistics team. Even if there is a war in Konoha in the future. This is almost the model.

However, it will no longer follow the current fixed team model. Instead, a small number of Jonin were assigned according to their strength to form an assault force and go deep behind enemy lines to destroy supplies. A large number of chunin defended the formation, while genin were responsible for transporting supplies and serving as cannon fodder.
