After taking good care of Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, Toneri didn't have to do too much with Hinata Hizashi.
As a member of the branch family, Hyuga Hizashi has the caged bird curse mark on his body, so even if he wants to, he can't do anything to his eyes.
Instead, I collected some information about caged birds. After all, studying a caged bird that has completely faded from a dead person is not as good as a caged bird that is intact on a living person.
Summoned Little Blue and left some marks on Hinata Hizashi's body.
After dealing with this, Toneri took back the puppet of the Third Kazekage and sat silently waiting for the two of them to wake up.
...
the other side.
The country of rain.
According to the message sent back by Toneri, Orochimaru hesitated for a moment, and immediately prepared an army to directly enter the Rain Country, and uprooted all the strongholds built by Sunagakure Village in the Rain Country during this period.
Chiyo, who received the message, was not to be outdone and met the Konoha ninja army led by Orochimaru at the border of Rain Country.
After the first collision ended in the disastrous defeat of Sunagakure Village, Chiyo did not dare to collide with Konoha easily again.
At this moment, Konoha is facing Sand Hidden Village, Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village at the same time. In terms of numbers alone, Konoha is at an absolute disadvantage, so the surest way to win is to slowly defeat Konoha's ninjas.
It is definitely not appropriate to directly determine the winner and loser at once when all is exhausted.
Although this can be done once and for all, for Sunagakure Village, which is already lacking in resources, the cost of deciding the winner at once is too high.
Rather than doing this, it is better to leave this arduous task to Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village.
Anyway, the original purpose of Sunagakure Village from the beginning was just to resolve its own internal conflicts. Now that the internal conflicts have been resolved and resolved, the Sunagakure are united in pointing their finger at the outside world. Now there is no need to directly start a decisive battle with Konoha.
Therefore, Chiyo only led the army of Sunagakure Village to confront the Konoha ninja army, and had no intention of rushing forward. At the same time, he also sent some troops to guard the back.
At this time, Luo Shadu had not sent back the message, so Chiyo and Ebizo were a little uneasy.
Sunagakure Village is unwilling to fight, and the Konoha ninjas led by Orochimaru certainly don't want to start a war either.
Orochimaru's purpose this time was just to hold the Sand Hidden Village on guard, preventing them from unscrupulously dealing with the three Toneri men who were operating behind them.
The weather in the Kingdom of Rain is always filled with continuous drizzle. The Sand Ninjas who suffered a loss once will not easily enter the Kingdom of Rain again this time unless their numbers gain a certain degree of upper hand again.
Of course, since Konoha will send people to deal with Sunagakure Village's supply lines and supply troops, the same goes for Sunagakure Village.
In response, Orochimaru also dispatched a protection team to perform the mission.
What the two sides are waiting for now is actually to see whose special operations team can complete the mission first and send back the good news.
...
"Sheren, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Uchiha Fugaku covered his right eye which was wrapped in gauze with one hand, feeling the strangeness in his eyes, and said with a slight apology and thanks.
At that time, when Ichibi Shukaku appeared, he was heavily enveloped by the sand. Then there was a huge roar, causing the sand layer to surge wildly. He was also tossed around with the sand, and finally lost consciousness and fell into a coma. He didn't know
I encountered something.
After hearing Toneri's story, I realized that the terrifying giant beast raging in the desert turned out to be the war weapon of Sunagakure Village, the Ichibi Shukaku.
He felt something strange about his right eye, but other than that, he didn't feel anything else. It was probably just because of the injury that he felt something strange.
The somewhat uncomfortable feeling has gradually disappeared under his subjective control.
Toneri is currently one of the best medical ninjas in Konoha. Since he has his treatment, he said there is not much problem, so it should mean that there is not much problem.
"Senior Shiren, I'm so sorry. I'm so busy that I can't help. Instead, I've become a burden..."
Hinata Hizashi was also a little embarrassed in his clothes at the moment, scratching his head in embarrassment.
Both of them fell into coma, and finally escaped from danger with the help of Toneri.
A team was formed to carry out the mission, but in the end they didn't help much, which was a bit embarrassing.
Toneri waved his hands repeatedly, "Look at what you said, if it weren't for you, this mission wouldn't have gone so smoothly. I'm afraid I would still be chased away by the ninjas of Sunagakure Village.
Moreover, their target was me, but I put you in danger, so I should be the one to feel sorry."
Is this called emotional intelligence?
This is called "emotional intelligence".
Toneri's words obviously made Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi feel a lot better, and their recognition of Toneri was also greatly improved.
"Sunagakure Village was destroyed in their own hands this time. They wanted to use the One-Tail to deal with us, but they didn't expect that the One-Tail that escaped control would immediately go berserk. The oasis that plays an important role in their supply line has already
It was destroyed by Shukaku, and those supplies were buried deep under the desert. Our mission this time can be considered completed."
Although the task was completed with some twists and turns, as a ninja, as long as the task is completed, no matter what method is used or what coincidence is encountered, it is completed when it is completed.
"The next step for us is to break through the defense line of Sand Hidden Village and return to the Land of Rain." Toneri's words seemed a bit serious.
Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi, who knew what he wanted to express, didn't look very good either.
When they crossed the Kingdom of Wind and got closer, the Sand Ninjas didn't feel anything, but now that they were leaving, it would definitely not be that simple.
"After the first decisive battle with us, the manpower of Sunagakure Village must be seriously insufficient, so I suggest that we go south and not in the direction of the Rain Country. Sunagakure Village must be heavily defended there.
I suggest we go south to Kawa no Kuni.
Although the distance is more than twice as long, the advantage is safety.
Moreover, Teacher Orochimaru must be leading Konoha's ninja army to confront the Suna ninjas at this moment. We may not be able to actually accomplish what we are supposed to do when we go to the border. We still have too few manpower.
Once we are stopped, and Sunagakure Village gathers the group of people looking for us, we are probably more likely to be the one to be attacked from both sides."
Toneri took out the map and briefly analyzed it for Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi.
The battlefield between Konoha and Sunagakure Village is mainly in the Country of Rain, but in fact, the country that borders both the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind is not only the Country of Rain, but also the Country of Kawa to the south of the Country of Rain.
Compared to the Country of Rain, the Country of Sichuan has a larger land area, so it is not easy to find it after entering the Country of Sichuan.
Although the strength of the Kingdom of Sichuan may be relatively weak, the Kingdom of Rain borders the three major countries of Fire, Wind and Earth. The geographical location is too important. As long as you occupy the Rain Kingdom, you will face the other two countries.
, can advance, attack, retreat and defend, it is a battleground for military strategists.
Therefore, after the Second Ninja World War, the Amegakure Village, which was allied with Konoha at the end, and the Konoha ninjas drove the Suna Ninja and the Iwagakure out of the Country of Rain, the Sunagakure Village and the Iwagakure Village had to agree to sign an armistice agreement.
, because Konoha, which occupied the Rain Country at that time, had the final say whether it wanted to fight or defend it.
Not wanting to be beaten passively, coupled with the threat of demigods and half-zodiacs, Iwagakure and Sunagakure had to cease the war.
Although the Third Shinobi World War initiated by Sunagakure Village was originally intended to be an outlet for internal conflicts, it still decisively targeted the Land of Rain.
Of course Konoha would not allow such an important place to fall into the control of Sunagakure Village.
Especially at this time, the position of Hanzo, the leader of Yuyin Village in the Land of Rain, is unclear.
Hanzo is gathering the power of the Hidden Rain Village and opening the Country of Rain to Sunagakure Village and Konoha. He is waiting for the situation to become clearer, or who can provide more benefits.
At the moment, all the attention is focused on the Kingdom of Rain. Toneri plans to go to the Kingdom of Sichuan. The defense force will definitely be many times weaker. It is safest to take a slightly longer detour and return to the Kingdom of Fire.
"This is indeed a good choice, but the country of Kawakawa is full of barren mountains. It will definitely take a lot longer than we planned to cross it." Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly.
There are a large number of high mountains in the Kingdom of Sichuan, especially at the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Sichuan, and at the border between the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Fire.
This is also the reason why Kawakuni has such a large territory.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how difficult the road is, it's still much safer than walking directly behind the Wind Kingdom camp."
The two of them stopped talking. Since Toneri was the captain, he made the proposal and the two of them had no objections, so just follow it.
...
My evening two days later.
The Toneri team arrived at the border between the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Fire.
At the border, they met the ninjas waiting for them under the orders of Orochimaru.
And Orochimaru and the ninjas of Konoha have also withdrawn from the Kingdom of Rain to the border of Konoha, but in the end the two sides still failed to fight.
The three came to Orochimaru to submit the task completion application.
However, Orochimaru's expression in the camp was not very good.
After noticing this scene, Shiren had a thought in his mind and vaguely guessed something.
"Our supply line was also cut off by Sunagakure Village?" Toneri asked.
Orochimaru did not reply, but Nara Shikaku, who was sitting aside, spoke, "Three teams from Sunagakure Village attacked our supply line at the same time. In this sneak attack, we lost a total of three jonin and five chunin.
And many genin."
Following Nara Shikaku's words, the faces of everyone present became a little solemn.
Nara Shikaku continued: "Sunagakure Village took advantage of the gap between our entire army and sent people to cut off our supply line."
Hearing this, Toneri was stunned and looked at Orochimaru with some surprise.
So, my plan to have Orochimaru's entire army not only failed to help the three of me, but actually gave them more opportunities?
Orochimaru nodded silently.
This time, not only him, but both of them felt that they were being calculated.
Suddenly, Toneri thought that the fact that the three of them could break through the border defense line of the Kingdom of Wind so easily was probably their plan from the beginning.
The purpose was to deal with themselves, who were a thorn in their side, and even sent Rasa and Fenfuku, the one-tail jinchūriki, to use an important oasis as bait.
And with the help of Orochimaru's army to advance, some people were ambushed in the Rain Country. Once the Konoha ninjas cross the line, they can attack directly from the rear and attack Konoha's supply line.
"So... this old guy Ebizo really knows how to grasp people's hearts."
Toneri couldn't help but sigh, and sat back down heavily in his seat.
Without thinking too much, you can guess that the only one who can come up with such a damaging move is Ebizo, who is known as the brains of Sunagakure Village.
Orochimaru's expression was so ugly because he clearly felt that he had been tricked.
Now, even if Toneri completes the mission, he only exchanges with Sunagakure Village and alternates his own supply lines.
Nara Shikaku spoke again, "But it's not that there are things that are beneficial to us. We have cleared out a large number of strongholds in Sunagakure Village in the Rain Country. If they want to set up such a stronghold distribution again, it will take at least half a month.
It also consumes a lot of manpower and resources.”
"Of course, half a month is not enough for them to build the supply line again, but Sunagakure Village will definitely send troops to the front line again. In general, there is basically no difference between now and before, and the situation is still different.
Too optimistic.”
Konoha is unable to fight a decisive battle with Sunagakure Village, and it is difficult to fight a war of attrition with Sunagakure Village. Their manpower is more abundant, which makes the space they can operate become stretched.
Moreover, Toneri and the others only focused on the battlefield on the Rain Country side, but Orochimaru could always receive information about the situation in Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village.
No matter which side it is on, it is not optimistic for Konoha.
They were both in the Great Hidden Village, but the pressure on Konoha with one against three was much greater.
"It's really irritating." Toneri muttered, holding his head and looking at a piece of information on the table. Deep in his eyes, a surge of anger spurted out. He was not pretending, but he was really angry.
This mission was successful. It not only destroyed the supply line of Sunagakure Village, but also successfully obtained the chakra of Ichibi Shukaku and the Sharingan of Uchiha Fugaku.
No matter how you look at it, he is the one who wins completely this time.
But after being played like this by Ebizo for a while, I felt very unhappy.
The most important thing is the information in front of him about the people on Konoha's casualty list...
Orochimaru glanced at it and was inserting his hands into the black hair on his head, scratching his head from time to time.
Teng——
Shiren suddenly stood up.
Everyone in the camp looked at him with solemn expressions in surprise.
I just saw him walking slowly and silently towards the outside of the camp. He didn't leave any words or indicate his purpose. He just lifted up the covering cloth at the entrance of the camp with a slight vulgarity and strode out, leaving behind
surprised everyone.
Being a little confused by Toneri's actions, he turned his attention to Orochimaru who was in the main seat.
However, Orochimaru, who had always had a sullen face, actually had a meaningful smile on his face.
"Jun Sheren, you seem really angry..."
angry?
This thought flashed through the minds of everyone in the camp.
If you observe carefully, you can find that in the list of casualties caused by the sneak attack on Sunagakure Village that is displayed on Toneri's table at this time, there is a name that he is very familiar with.
Uchiha Yoshinari!
...
The cold-faced Toneri walked out of the tent without stopping, leaving Konoha's camp and heading straight into the Land of Rain.
He held a breath in his heart, especially when he saw the name Uchiha Yoshinari.
Unknowingly, he didn't even notice it himself. He kept saying that he was dismissive of Sarutobi Hiruzen's 'Will of Fire' theory, but when he really reacted, he found that he had unknowingly
Fell in.
As his first teammates, the first two players, Uchiha Yoshinari and Nara Shikaku, both hold a lot of weight in his heart.
It may not have as high a weight in his heart as Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, but it will definitely not be as low.
Therefore, when he saw the name Uchiha Yoshinari in the death list, the anger in his heart suddenly rose up and rushed into his mind.
If he was a member of the Uchiha clan, his eyes might have opened at that moment.
Orochimaru just understood what Toneri was thinking at this moment, so he didn't stop him.
After leaving the camp and entering the Land of Rain, Toneri did not stupidly rush directly to the garrison of the ninjas of Sunagakure Village.
Facing thousands of ninjas from Sunagakure Village alone, as well as Kage-level experts like Chiyo, was asking for death. He had better and more suitable ways to deal with them.
Although his heart is full of anger, he is not the kind of person who acts on impulse.
Under the influence of the anger just now, he thought of a very good way to take revenge on Sunagakure Village.
In the Kingdom of Rain today, except for the location of Yuyin Village in the center, which is in good condition, the rest of the place is basically in a mess, and various displaced people can be seen everywhere.
In the muddy fields, dense forests, and wet roads, from time to time you can see the residents of the Kingdom of Rain wearing simple and ragged clothes.
Regarding all of this, if Toneri had just come to the ninja world, it would probably be difficult to accept it, but for Toneri, who has been in the ninja world for many years, he has become accustomed to it.
The worthlessness of human life is clearly demonstrated in the world of ninjas.
Although without power, human life is cheap everywhere, but it is even more so in the Kingdom of Rain at this moment.
Silently walking through the damp and dark woods, we arrived at the relatively safe outside of Rain Hidden Village in the Rain Country.
Both Sunagakure Village and Konoha have a tacit understanding not to go to the trouble of Amegakure Village, and do not want to give the vitality of Amegakure Village to the other party.
Therefore, although the residents and ninjas of Amegakure Village were also frightened by the war, their lives were pretty good.
Toneri waited for a while outside Yuyin Village, looking for a good opportunity, and successfully sneaked into Yuyin Village using the "Jutsu of erasing the face".
When he came to Yuyin Village again, his mentality was completely different from last time.
When I came here last time, I felt a certain amount of awe towards Yuyin Village, a village with half gods and half hidden people.
But this time, it seemed much calmer.
Looking at the buildings that looked like bamboo shoots, the well-developed sewer system prevented Yuyin Village from being flooded by a large amount of rain. There were quite a few people on the street, all wearing heavy raincoats, walking quickly in
Walking on the street, footsteps are hurried, and there is no communication with each other.
He gently pulled the raincoat on his head. This kind of dress undoubtedly increased his ability to hide his figure.
It is also easier to do things.
I found a pub that looked relatively lively, opened the door and walked in.
