Sunagakure's Two-Piece Set

As the fallout from Sunagakure being attacked and Shukaku being taken continued to spread, the Land of Wind's international reputation grew increasingly abysmal.

Many countries began to stir, impatient to test whether the Land of Wind had truly declined.

Of course, the countries that genuinely wanted to test the Land of Wind could not act personally. Otherwise, things could easily spiral out of control. They could only let certain smaller nations do the work for them.

Thus, against this international backdrop, a localized battle broke out.

Along the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers, Sand Shinobi coldly observed the battlefield in the distance.

"Have these Land of Rivers rebels gone mad? They actually dared to attack us?" a Sand Shinobi said disdainfully.

As ninjas of a great nation, they had always been the ones bullying others. Since when had anyone else gotten to strike first and bully them?

It would have been one thing if it were another great nation, but the ones who made the first move were a small country like the Land of Rivers—and a rebel organization within that small country, at that!

This was simply an insult to the Land of Wind and Sunagakure!

The person in charge of this localized battle was a Jonin from Sunagakure named Hara Jiro.

Hearing his subordinate's question, Hara Jiro pointed at the enemies advancing and retreating in orderly fashion on the battlefield and sneered. "You call these people wandering ninjas?"

Although their coordination was not as seamless as that of ninjas from great nations, it was still obvious that they had received deliberate training. Ordinary wandering ninjas could never coordinate like this.

Not to mention that among the enemy forces was a Jonin whose strength matched his own. And you called them wandering ninjas?
