The 10,000 Iwagakure army led by the Sandaime Tsuchikage Ōnoki surged out of Tori Country like a torrent over the mountains and plains, pouring towards the vast golden sea of sand.
The entire team is divided into three parts: front, middle and back.
At the front was the scout unit responsible for reconnaissance, basically in the form of a four-person team, spread out over a wide area.
This is because Sunagakure ninjas are very good at hiding in the sand.
Or maybe there are poisonous traps buried in the sand.
They had to be careful.
The team in the middle is the main battle force led by Huang Tu, and it is also the largest group.
Most of them are genin who are good at using combined ninjutsu.
The fighting style of Iwagakure Village is like this. It does not rely much on individual strength, but likes to suppress the enemy through teamwork.
The team at the rear is regarded as the command post, and Ohnoki, as the Third Tsuchikage, is personally in charge.
The main personnel are composed of several special forces such as the Anbu of Iwagakure Village, demolition troops, medical troops, and sealing troops. Of course, there are also some regular ninjas responsible for guarding.
at the same time.
Over there at Yuyin Village.
Young Ai also led the 5,000 Kumogakure troops he brought over and the nearly 800 Takigakure and Kusagakure ninjas who joined later, and rushed towards Loulan Kingdom in a menacing manner.
By his side.
There is also a man wearing a metal helmet with anti-virus properties.
Hanzo!
The powerful helper Ai acquired in exchange for his second tail is a man who is regarded by most people in the current ninja world as the 'pinnacle of ninja'!
In fact, according to the original battle plan, we should have set off a few days ago.
But Hanzo insisted on having the second-tailed jinchuriki first.
In desperation, Ai had no choice but to communicate with Ohnoki and postponed the day for a few days.
Although Onoki had some complaints, he also knew that Hanzo's strength allowed him to be willful, so he could only agree rather unhappily.
A talented boy named Yahiko, who is twelve or thirteen years old this year.
With that firm look in his eyes and the ideal of peace he spoke of, even Ai, who thought he was too naive, couldn't say anything mocking.
The next result was not surprising.
After the young Yahiko was injected with the chakra of the two tails, although he was about to lose his mind at first, he soon regained his composure.
The whole process went so smoothly that both Hanzo and Ai looked surprised.
certainly.
The moods of the two were completely different. Hanzo was naturally extremely happy and accepted Yahiko as a closed disciple on the spot, but Ai was not so happy.
As for Konan and Nagato who came with Yahiko, no one paid attention to them.
It's not that Nagato's Rinnegan is unattractive, but that he used transformation techniques to hide his Rinnegan in advance so as not to cause trouble.
So Yahiko is now an Amegakure jounin.
As for Nagato and Konan, because they did not use their full strength in the test, they were only Amegakure chuunin.
at this time.
The three of them were running through the desert together behind Hanzo.
Surrounded by a hundred Amegakure ninjas responsible for guarding.
The reason why he only brought this few people was because Hanzo felt that there was no need to bring most of the village ninjas.
After all, I am just helping out in the battle, and there is no need to pay too much regardless of whether I win or lose.
If there is an accident, you can take Yahiko and leave quickly.
Moreover, Amegakure Village also needs enough ninjas to defend other ninja villages.
"Well, it's so hot..."
As Xiao Nan ran along, he raised his head and glanced at the scorching sun above his head that looked exaggerated on the earth.
The sunshine that shines down gives people a feeling of scorching heat like fire.
It's not just her.
All the ninjas of Amegakure Village, including Hanzo, are feeling somewhat uncomfortable to some extent. The temperature here is indeed too hot for them.
honestly.
It was really their first time back to the Kingdom of Wind, and naturally it was also their first time seeing the desert.
"Be patient, try to adapt, we will fight soon, we must get used to this environment..." Yahiko said in a serious voice.
Nagato nodded, he could understand what Yahiko really wanted to say: "Well, we will protect ourselves."
"Yes, Yahiko, don't worry about us!" Xiaonan on the side agreed firmly.
Hanzo in front heard the conversation of the 'three little ones' behind him and said with a smile: "As long as you stay with me, nothing will happen to you."
The reason why he had the confidence to say this.
The main reason is that we have learned that Crocodile, who captured the Sandaime Raikage alive, is no longer in Loulan.
So how could Loulan stop them?
oh.
I heard that there is a master who is good at using some kind of sound release, and he can compete with the Sandaime Raikage in a short time.
But if it was only at this level, Hanzo felt that it would not be difficult to solve it by himself.
After all, he thinks he is stronger than the Sandaime Raikage.
"Yahiko, how are you getting along with Erwei?"
"It's good. It only looks fierce on the surface, but I can see from its eyes that Erwei is actually very gentle at heart."
Yahiko replied with a soft smile.
However, he still doesn't really admit that Hanzo is his teacher.
Not only because of Jiraiya-sensei, but also because the time we have known each other is too short.
certainly.
He's not stupid enough to say what's on his mind.
at the same time.
A big cat with blue flames burning all over was sealed inside Yahiko's body.
He was lying on the ground, closing his eyes and concentrating, but when he said these words.
Suddenly he opened his vertical eyes, one yellow and one green.
"Interesting innocent kid..."
This kid actually talked to it about his ideals before.
How can we create world peace without resorting to extreme force?
And he looked directly into his own eyes without fear.
to be honest.
Erwei felt very baffled, thinking that your ideals have nothing to do with me.
He even yelled in disgust and scolded him fiercely to shut up.
But who would have thought that Yahiko completely ignored it and continued to give a speech.
The key is that every word he says sounds so sincere and serious.
It seemed like he was really talking to himself from the bottom of his heart.
This touched Erwei's heart, whose true personality was like a gentle big sister.
He actually calmed down and listened to Yahiko's words subconsciously.
Um.....
This is the approximate process of Yahiko becoming a Jinchuuriki.
He convinced Erwei just with his mouth and sincere eyes...
On the other side is Sunagakure Village.
Rasa, Chiyo and other high-level officials have learned about the massive invasion of Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages.
Of course, these days, they are well prepared.
now.
Including Rasa, the current fourth generation Kazekage, all Sunagakure elders focused their attention on Crocodile, who was sitting on Kazekage's chair with a long and thick cigar in his mouth.
"Sir, do you need anything from Loulan..."
"Hehehe, don't worry about that, just let them go."
Crocodile sneered.
You must know that even he is not sure what kind of monster will come out of Loulan.
In comparison, those idiots in Kumogakure might as well run to him.
"Okay, now that the Sandaime Tsuchikage is here, you should entertain them first, and I will take action when the time comes..."
Crocodile had no intention of being the first to go.
Otherwise, what is the point of conquering the Sunagakure Village?
In comparison, he prefers to see these ninja people killing each other.
By the way, let’s find out what methods are available in Iwagakure Village.
He is not like some idiot who just rushes forward and underestimates the methods of this ninja world.
You don't even know how to use your brain, but you still dare to compete with yourself as a general?
