Although Zhuge Qingyun came to investigate the situation of the battle between Sunagakure and Kumogakure under the orders of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would not rush to the battlefield in person if there was no need to take action.
However, Zhuge Qingyun separated several shadow clones and asked them to rush to the vicinity of the battlefield. As long as there was any important news? They would immediately cancel the shadow clones and send back the information they saw.
According to the news sent back by the shadow clone just now, in order to resist the invasion of Kumogakure ninjas, the Sunagakure ninjas directly brought Shukaku's jinchūriki to the battlefield.
Among the nine tailed beasts, Shukaku's strength ranking can only be considered medium, but it is made of sand, so it is best at fighting in an environment surrounded by sand like the Kingdom of Wind.
Fighting in a desert environment, Shukaku's strength will be greatly improved. Since Shukaku joined the battlefield, Kumogakure's ninja army has begun to retreat steadily and has fallen into a disadvantage.
Zhuge Qingyun was not surprised that Yunyin would be defeated by Sunagakure, he had even expected it.
After all, there is a Fire Country between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Wind. Although the military strength of Yunyin Village is far greater than that of Sand Hidden Village, the resources consumed by cross-border operations are too large.
Moreover, although Sunagakure Village was left without a leader due to the killing of the third Kazekage, with Rasa being appointed to succeed the Fourth Kazekage at the critical moment, the entire Sunagakure Village began to regain its stability.
Therefore, if Cloud Hidden Village wants to continue to invade Sunagakure Village, it needs to carefully consider whether it is worth it, otherwise it will be possible to steal chickens and lose rice by accident.
…
"Zhuge Qingyun... you deserve to die!"
"boom!"
In the root's secret base, after Danzo read the information that the root ninja had just investigated, he couldn't help but clenched his fist and punched a big hole in his desk.
According to the information investigated by Root Ninja, there are indeed traces of a battle in the woods where Danzo designed to ambush Zhuge Qingyun, which means that the elite Jonin he sent out fought Zhuge Qingyun.
However, Uchiha Sora and the others have not come back to life, and the members of the root group have been planted with curse marks by Danzo. Anyone who betrays him will die, so Uchiha Sora and the others cannot choose to betray.
In other words, Uchiha Sora and the others failed in their mission to intercept Zhuge Qingyun, and there was a high possibility that the four of them would die in Zhuge Qingyun's hands.
Even if there are many elites in the root, the death of four elite jounin at once is very painful for Danzo, which makes him resent Zhuge Qingyun more and more.
What makes Danzo most angry is that he sent the four Uchiha Sora to intercept Zhuge Qingyun this time as a secret operation, so even if he knew that Zhuge Qingyun killed Uchiha Sora and the others, he could not use this reason to deal with Ge Qingyun.
.
After Danzo burned the letter in his hand to ashes, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Here comes someone!"
"Whoosh!"
As Danzo finished speaking, a ninja wearing a patterned mask suddenly appeared in front of him, knelt on one knee and said: "Duanzo-sama."
Danzo showed a sinister look on his face, and ordered in a serious tone: "Go and send a message to the Fourth Kazekage and the senior management of Sand Hidden Village, saying that Zhuge Qingyun is now lurking at the border of the Kingdom of Wind, and that he is the one with the Red
The mysterious ninja who fought against the Sand Scorpion, the Third Kazekage's puppet is in his hands."
"..."
When the root ninja heard Danzo's order, his pupils shrank slightly, but he still did not dare to raise the slightest objection, and disappeared from the place with a movement.
Danzo looked up in the direction of the Kingdom of Wind and said with a sneer: "Zhuge Qingyun, let me see how you died this time?"
In the Second Ninja World War, Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village fought, and the two sides formed a great hatred. Moreover, after the third Kazekage disappeared for no reason, Sunagakure Village also placed suspicion on Konoha Village.
On the body.
If it weren't for Zhuge Qingyun's battle with Scorpion, which exposed the secret of the Third Kazekage's death in advance, Sunagakure Village might have used this as an excuse to fight Konoha Village.
Although Sunagakure Village is currently at war with Cloud Hidden Village, it does not mean that they have forgotten the hatred between them and Konoha Village. If there is a chance to get rid of Zhuge Qingyun, the genius of Konoha, the people of Sunagakure Village will definitely be happy.
of.
What's more, the Third Kazekage's puppet was created by the powerful Zhuge Qingyun. Once the people of Sand Hidden Village learn this news, they will definitely not pursue Zhuge Qingyun at all costs.
…
The reason why the third generation Raikage issued the order to invade the Kingdom of Wind was because the third generation Kazekage was killed and the Sunagakure Village was leaderless. This gave him hope of invading the Kingdom of Wind.
But now that Ichibi Shukaku has joined the battlefield, and the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa has restored the cohesion of Sunagakure Village, it will be very difficult for Kumogakure Village to invade the Kingdom of Wind.
If the whole army of Yunyin Village is dispatched, Sand Hidden Village will naturally not be their opponent, but Yunyin Village also has other enemies, and they must retain enough strength to prevent the invasion of other ninja villages.
Therefore, after the Third Raikage saw that there was no advantage to be taken, he asked the remaining Kumogakure ninja troops to withdraw from the Kingdom of Wind, and the war between Sunagakure and Kumogakure stopped.
However, the Third Raikage was a war maniac. Although he gave up his intention to invade the Kingdom of Wind, he immediately shifted the target of his invasion to the Kingdom of Fire.
There is only the Kingdom of Fields between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder, which is more suitable for the invasion of the Kingdom of Thunder than the distant Kingdom of Wind.
Moreover, the Country of Fire is the leader of the five major countries, and it occupies the most territory and resources among the five countries. Once the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire fight, the other three countries will definitely take advantage of the Fire Kingdom and add insult to injury.
After the Kumogakure ninja troops retreated from the Kingdom of Wind, these Kumogakure ninjas did not rush back directly to the Kingdom of Thunder, but chose to invade the Kingdom of Fire.
At the same time, the Third Raikage also sent a ninja force composed of thousands of Kumogakure elites, marching from Kumogakure Village to the border of the Fire Country.
The commanders responsible for leading this ninja force are none other than ‘Ai’, the son of the Third Raikage, and Rabbi Kiri, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
…
"Now that Kumogakure has chosen to retreat, it's time for me to return to Konoha."
After Zhuge Qingyun received the news of the retreat of the Kumogakure ninja troops from the shadow clone, he had no intention of staying in the Kingdom of Wind for a long time.
"Um?"
But just when Zhuge Qingyun was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, he suddenly sensed that there were many sand ninja chakra auras near the inn, and there were also some elite jounin auras among them.
"To be able to detect my presence so quickly, it seems that I have underestimated the Suna Ninja."
After Zhuge Qingyun sensed the aura of these sand ninjas, he gave up the idea of leaving directly and showed a somewhat amused expression.
