Chapter seven hundred and seventy third before the war
"Yellow sand, scorching sun, hot wind..."
"When was the last time you set foot here? I seem to have lost track of it."
At the end of the horizon, the sun gradually rises, and the boundless yellow sand sweeps around with the howling wind, constantly sweeping away the scattered sand and gravel dust.
Looking around, the entire world seems to have turned into a monotonous earth-yellow picture. Through the hazy light falling from the sky, one can vaguely see groups of tiny figures emerging in the distance.
Just like a colony of ants, approaching quickly.
Above the towering sand dunes, Lei Luo sat on the ground, one hand casually resting on his knees, and the other hand holding a light green fruit, slowly approaching his mouth.
When speaking, Lei Luo's eyes were calm, and his expression seemed to be reminiscing or sighing. After he finished speaking, his teeth bit the surface of the fruit, splashing out a little purple-red juice.
The sweetness and sourness stimulated the taste buds, and the rich aroma of the liquid gave it an exotic feel. Lei Luo suddenly felt that his dry throat was much better.
This randomly picked cactus fruit...
It tastes really good.
After a while, Uzumaki Cheng, who was standing upright next to him, glanced at Lei Luo inadvertently, pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly said with a smile:
"Is there a battle at Ishikawa Hill? It should be almost ten years ago, right?"
Uzumaki Makoto did not participate in the Battle of Ishikawa Hill. He was still the leader of the Kingdom of Uzumaki at that time, and Lei Luo was not yet the Hokage.
"Yes, the battle of Ishikawa Hill, I really didn't expect time to fly by so fast... The day of fighting the Third Kazekage seems like it just happened yesterday."
Patting his forehead, Lei Luo couldn't help laughing as he thought of the past. Then, he stood up and patted his sleeves that were covered with gravel.
He raised his head, looked at the Sunagakure troops approaching quickly from the distance, and said to himself: "In the battle of Ishikawa Hill, although the enemy is the Sunagakure ninja, I actually didn't spend too much energy on these guys."
"After all, no matter what angle you analyze it from, the situation back then did not allow me to squander the power in my hands wantonly."
"But now, it's different..."
Turning his head slightly and looking behind him, the boundless sea of people suddenly came into view.
Green figures stacked up at the end of the field of vision, as if forming an oasis.
Looking down from above, you can clearly see the solemn faces.
It was quiet within a kilometer nearby, and the air seemed to be filled with a chilling atmosphere.
In the silence, this inaccessible desert was filled with layers of heavy oppression, as if it were covered with dark clouds.
More than 10,000 National Defense Force ninjas lined up neatly, including more than 100 artillery pieces behind the positions, were the main force used to clear the battlefield and occupy territory.
The reason why I use the word "clean up" is because Lei Luo is confident: as long as he can defeat Scorpion, Chiyo, One-Tail Jinchuuriki and other shadow-level powerhouses in Sunagakure Village, then...
In the subsequent battle, even if he does not participate, Sunagakure will completely collapse. By then, with the numerical and equipment advantages of the National Defense Force ninjas, it will definitely not be a problem to deal with more than 3,000 Sunagakure.
Further on, the fall of the Kingdom of Wind...
It's just a matter of time.
The high-end battlefield is handled by Lei Luo, while the low-level battlefield is handled by the National Defense Force ninjas, and Uzumaki Makoto, a shadow-level powerhouse...
"Lei Luo, you really don't need me to help you share the pressure?"
There was a trace of unspeakable helplessness on his face, and Uzumaki Makoto's expression was filled with the feeling of being hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to persuade, but he also knew that it would have no effect.
"Yes, I alone am enough."
Lei Luo withdrew his gaze from sizing up the army at the rear, and did not look at Uzumaki Cheng. He simply replied with a faint smile, and said: "You have only one mission, and that is to assist the large army in attacking."
After saying that, Lei Luo said no more and stood on the top of the sand dune with his arms folded. The strong wind blew by and the Hokage cloak behind him couldn't help but billow. He quietly looked at the Sunagakure troops in the distance, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Uzumaki Makoto looked at Lei Luo's appearance from the side, and could clearly feel the other's confidence. A rare hint of worry appeared in his eyes, obviously not thinking that Lei Luo could defeat so many masters of Sunagakure by himself.
Yes, Lei Luo is very strong.
But for Sunagakure on the opposite side, in addition to the two top puppet masters of Red Sand Scorpion and Chiyo, we also need to include the ten people of Wind Erosion, Fierce Fighting, and Chikamatsu controlled by them. How many shadow levels are these?
What's more, there is also a jinchūriki.
Even though he knew that Lei Luo's strength was higher than Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki Makoto still felt that Lei Luo was a bit too much, and using one against many was obviously not a wise choice in his opinion.
The effect that can be achieved by the cooperation of Kage level and Kage level is far beyond the scale of joint operations between ordinary teams. Moreover, Chiyo and Akasaka Scorpion are family members. After fighting, the level of tacit understanding can be imagined.
.
If he, Uzumaki Makoto, hadn't run so fast when he saw the situation was not going well in the last battle, he might have lost his life at the border of Sichuan Wind, in the rolling yellow sand, which shows the terror of a lot of high-end puppets.
…
Two kilometers away from the National Defense Forces position, the Sunagakure ninjas ran quickly between the desert and the Gobi desert. The soles of their feet stepped on the surface of the yellow sand, causing dust to rise up and clouding the surrounding scene.
Chiyo and Xia ran at the front of the team. Behind them were Spider, Ebizo, and an old man dressed in white robes, long eyebrows, and a sad expression dressed as a monk. He was none other than the one-tailed Jinchuuriki - Fenfu.
More than half an hour has passed since receiving the information about the mobilization of the National Defense Force troops. Chiyo finally accepted Scorpion's suggestion, and instead of hastily choosing to retreat for reinforcements, decided to fight Uzumaki Seibu again.
If this battle still ends in a great victory, then Sunagakure's troops will attack the country of Kawa with all their strength. If Makoto Uzumaki withdraws his troops, he will drive straight into the territory of the Land of Fire, forcing the Fire Country Defense Force in the Land of Rain to return for reinforcements.
Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao was Sunagakure's new strategy.
"Strange, why didn't the enemy attack directly this time like last time, but stopped near the border? As if... waiting for us to come?"
While running, Chiyo raised his head, squinted his eyes and stared at the group of vague figures in the distance, muttering slightly confused to himself, which attracted the spider's attention. The red-haired woman immediately sneered:
"With this kind of formation, do you want to fight us openly? Uzumaki Makoto really doesn't have a long memory..."
"Something's wrong."
Interrupting the spider's words, Chiyo frowned tightly. A terrible thought suddenly appeared in her mind, driving her to say quickly:
"The enemy's current behavior reminds me of a battle that year. Could it be that... Lei Luo came here?"
