Hinata Huan did not answer in a hurry. After looking into the distance carefully for a long time, as if he had finally determined the current situation, he turned back and said lightly:
"As you can see, I was chased by that old guy Feng Xiu in a very embarrassing manner."
Saying that, Hinata Tamaki raised his arms and showed the jounin vest he was wearing in front of Namikaze Minato.
A series of hideous gashes, as if cut by sharp knives, almost covered the surface of the clothes, but strangely, no blood flowed out from inside.
"In short, that guy's technique is more restrained than mine."
Putting down his arms nonchalantly, Hinata Huan calmly gave such a conclusion, then turned around and walked aside.
Seeing that Hinata Tamaki was planning to just leave alone, Namikaze Minato lowered his head and thought for a while, then imagined the battle scene between Hinata Tamaki and Kaze Erosion.
After a few seconds, he stood up, followed Hinata Huan a few steps, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Senior Huan, what are you..."
Glancing sideways at Namikaze Minato, perhaps guessing what the other party wanted to ask, Hinata Tamaki walked forward and answered casually:
"The task given by Lei Luo asked me to monitor Sunagakure's main camp, but I was noticed by the old guy Feng Xiang."
"We fought for a while. I couldn't do anything to him, and he essentially couldn't do anything to me."
"I might have been attacked by Suna Ninja, so I ran away."
Hinata Tamaki spoke very briefly, and Namikaze Minato also sorted out the context of the matter, thought about it, and then asked: "Taki-senpai, have you discovered anything?"
The footsteps paused for a moment, and Hinata Huan was silent for a while, only saying: "The situation is a bit serious, let's talk about it when we get back."
Noticing that Hinata Tamaki's face was a little solemn, Namikaze Minato's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
'Senior Tamaki is so solemn about this, is it possible that... Sunagakure's combat power is much stronger than before?'
The reason why this judgment can be made is that in Namikaze Minato's impression, the strength of Konoha and Hinata Tamaki is probably only lower than Railuo.
Now, since Hinata Tamaki personally said the words "the situation is serious", it means that something must have changed on Sunagakure's side.
At least, it should have... the power to threaten their Konoha.
The war with Sunagakure has been going on for several years. After such a long time, Namikaze Minato has gained some understanding of Lei Luo's strategy. He knows that the latter is mostly pretending and has not spent much thought on dealing with Sunagakure.
Hidden above.
Even though this is the case, Konoha still keeps suppressing Sunagakure. This has to be said to be a tangible reflection of the gap in strength between the two sides.
Even Namikaze Minato, who was always very thoughtful, didn't think that Sunagakure had any hope of making a comeback.
In fact, he has always felt that as long as Lei Luo can be ruthless and attack Sunagakure with all his strength, then Sunagakure's defeat may only happen overnight.
But……
Now, the attitude shown by Hinata Tamaki as if facing a formidable enemy made Namikaze Minato realize that things might not be as simple as he thought.
For the next time, the two did not continue talking.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that all the members of the Flying Thunder God Commando were gathered together. Namikaze Minato gave the order and everyone began to move.
But after a while, the Konoha ninjas were no longer around the shallow grassland.
…
When Feng Xiang returned to the Sunagakure camp, he immediately went to meet with the Third Kazekage. After briefly reporting the situation, he left on his own.
Sitting in the main seat, the Third Kazekage pondered for a while and glanced at the figures around the round table: Monzaemon, Chiyo, Rasa, Hayakura, and...
Sitting next to Ye Cang, there was a sturdy old man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a rugged face. His exposed arms were very muscular.
It can be said that this old man's dress is completely different from that of ordinary Sunagakure ninjas. Even the white or black robes that Sunagakure elders often wear, he has never worn, and his style of painting does not match the others in the scene at all.
At first glance, this person was dressed like the most ordinary old civilian in the Kingdom of Wind.
But he didn't seem to care about his unsociability, nor the serious atmosphere in the scene. He just relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair, folded his arms across his chest, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a nap.
This sturdy old man, codenamed Drought, is both Ye Cang's master and Ye Cang's father.
At the same time, as a former member of the Shadow Guard, he is at the same level as Feng Xiang. To a certain extent, they can both be regarded as the elders of Sand Hidden Village.
He participated in the disputes of the Warring States Period, fought against Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, experienced the first ninja war, and was the creator of the bloodstained Escape...
His strength is so terrifying that almost no one in Sand Hidden Village can match him. Even the Third Kazekage himself has to admit that in terms of combat power alone, he is not as good as Drought.
In fact, if Drought and Wind Erosion hadn't had no intention of competing for the position of Kazekage, the title of the third Kazekage would never have fallen to him.
It is precisely for this reason that the third generation of Kazekage has no suspicion at all about drought and wind erosion, simply because these two people have used practical actions for decades to prove their loyalty to each generation of Kazekage.
Looking back at the drought, the Third Kazekage cleared his throat and took the lead in asking Monzaemon: "Have the repairs of the Chikamatsu Ten been completed?"
Two years have passed since that pursuit battle.
At that time, the Chikamatsu Ten People lost five puppets due to sabotage by Aburame Shiguro. One of Monzaemon's most important tasks in the past two years was to replenish the number of the Chikamatsu Ten People.
"finished."
Monzaemon didn't say much, just replied briefly, and then nodded slightly to Chiyo beside him, indicating that the latter didn't need to have too much psychological burden.
Chiyo looked ashamed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking note of Monzaemon and Chiyo's little moves, the Third Kazekage made no comments and started the next topic without any delay:
"Is the lightning protection armor ready?"
Lightning protection armor, as the name suggests, is a set of equipment with extremely strong insulation properties that the Third Kazekage deliberately ordered Monzaemon to create in order to counter Railo's lightning escape.
"It's done." Monzaemon replied decisively without any hesitation.
It uses rubber as the main material, supplemented by silk, cotton, cotton yarn and other insulating materials, plus a series of exquisite conductive lines, extremely high-temperature resistant resin...
Monzaemon dared to guarantee that the Third Kazekage, who was wearing lightning protection armor, could even stand still and receive Lei Luo's high-voltage lightning escape without suffering any damage.
"Have the batch of quartz watches purchased from the Country of Craftsmen been distributed?"
The Third Kazekage no longer asked this question to Monzaemon, but to Chiyo.
"There are a total of one hundred and fifty-three watches. All have been distributed, and each of our jonins has one." Chiyo's face was serious, and his tone was full of solemnity.
Timing device...
This is the preparation work that the Third Kazekage made after integrating the information given by Kirigakure Village and what he had experienced during the one-on-one duel with Lei Luo...the feeling that time seemed to be split apart.
In the past two years, after a lot of analysis and recalling the battle over and over again, the Third Kazekage finally made a judgment:
Jueying's technique is related to time.
This terrible guess, after corroborating it with information from Kirigakure, is undoubtedly the truth of the matter.
Through a point, gradually expand to the surface...
For the first time, the mystery of Juekage was completely revealed to the Third Kazekage and all the Sand Ninjas:
Super fast speed, inexplicable recovery of injuries, inexplicable sudden movements, and, with just one touch, the body will completely come to a standstill.
Time, time...
The Third Kazekage had never seen a ninja capable of manipulating time to fight, and he didn't know how he could defeat such a monster. He only knew...
The war has progressed to this point, and after preparations for so long, the Kingdom of Wind has no retreat, Sunagakure has no retreat, and he himself has no retreat.
Therefore, even though there is still too much unknown information about the enemy that has not been found out, the Third Kazekage still plans to fight Lei Luo to the death. For this reason...
No matter how trivial it was, even if he was not sure whether preparing the timing equipment would have any effect, he still did it.
