Konoha In mid-February of 49, with the frontline supplies of Land of Grass and Land of Rain arriving one after another, Konoha Ninja officially started the "cleaning" work in the New Year.
For Sunagakure Ninja, the past six months have been a nightmare. Not only were the commissions further compressed, but they also had to constantly resist "monsters" in the village.
After consultants Chiyo and Jonin Rasa were seriously injured, the senior management decided to activate Tailed Beast Weapon!
Although some impulsive Sunagakure Ninja still clamored for "fight to the death", Rasa and Chiyo always called for calm.
After the news of the frontline Konoha Ninja operation spread back to the village, Ebizo, who was in charge of intelligence work from Sunagakure, had to participate in the meeting. Faced with Jonin Division's doubts, he calmly gave an answer, "In the direction of Land of Rain, it is difficult for us to break through the blockade of Konoha Ninja."
"I know that everyone is willing to give everything for Sunagakure, but the ninja must ultimately rely on strength to speak for itself."
"Be patient and wait for the opportunity. If Iwagakure can defeat Kumogakure, we will reach an agreement with it. Only then will we have a chance to defeat Konoha Ninja."
"There is another option, bypass the defense line through Land of Rivers and raid the hinterland of Konoha!"
In the conference room, Jonin who were clamoring for a fight to the death just now were silent. Only Rasa raised his head, looked at Ebizo and asked seriously, "If we bypass the defense line, where is our goal?"
"Kikyo Castle, after evaluation by intelligence personnel, we can make more gains here."
Ebizo still gave the advice slowly. After looking around, there was a look of ridicule in his eyes, and he continued to add, "Send a thousand troops to bypass the defense line and destroy Kikyo Castle, so that Konoha Ninja can be severely damaged."
"This is the advice I give based on all the information. I hope everyone can make a choice carefully."
Ebizo is 53 years old. He has not participated in decision-making in the past few years, but this time the village encountered a major crisis, and he was pulled out by his sister Chiyo.
Unfortunately, after seeing the reaction of these elite Jonin in the conference room, the old man was very disappointed and did not even have the courage to die. No wonder the village was suppressed like this.
Chiyo could see what her brother was thinking, and she didn't expect that Jonin Division would become silent after giving the detailed plan.
The two siblings looked directly at everyone in the conference room. Some Jonin lowered their heads in shame. Finally, Rasa stood up and looked at the two consultants and responded solemnly, "I am willing to lead everyone to complete this raid. As long as Konoha Ninja can be severely damaged, we can regain the commission."
"Karura and the children will leave it to the village!"
"Rasa-sama!"
Some Jonin exclaimed in surprise when they heard this decision. Rasa's second child has not yet been born. If he really wants to carry out the plan to attack the hinterland of Konoha, he will most likely die on the spot.
Rasa showed "Kazekage's magnanimity", Chiyo sister and brother nodded secretly, they saw the right person.
Regardless of the outcome, this courage alone is enough to serve as the next Kazekage.
"Rasa, your Gold Dust can suppress One-Tail, leave it to me, an old guy, to attack Kikyo Castle!"
"If you can die in Land of Fire, it seems to be a good choice. After seeing the same sand, dying on fertile land is a kind of relief."
Chiyo chuckled at the end. This attitude of disregarding life and death finally infected everyone, and more and more Jonin responded.
Seeing this scene, Rasa clenched his fists tightly. He yearned for power more and more. If he could kill Shu Furukawa, Sunagakure would not launch the "death plan".
Sunagakure is shrouded in wind and sand all year round. The buildings in the village are built in the rock canyon, and the khaki dome houses are very exotic.
Shu Furukawa, who sneaked into Land of Wind, also found many Buddha statues along the way. At this time, he came to the outside of Sunagakure, looked at Orochimaru and whispered, "Teacher Orochimaru, we are about to approach the perception barrier. This is the Five Great Nations Ninja Village, and the defense is very tight."
Orochimaru, who was wearing a cloak to block the wind and sand, did not respond immediately. He raised his head and glanced at the setting sun, with a playful smile on his pale face, "Xiu, it seems that Tsunade has not taught you enough. Five Great Nations also has strengths and weaknesses."
"Sunagakure Even the commissioned tasks have problems. Facing such an opponent, we need to be smarter."
"Someone will take us in late at night. Don't underestimate my intelligence work. There are loyal subordinates in Five Great Nations."
Orochimaru had to show off his strength from time to time along the way. Shu Furukawa had to admit that this guy had a unique charm when it came to winning over his subordinates.
"Let's take a rest first. If we can encounter Tailed Beast rampage tonight, maybe we can achieve our goal on the outside."
"Sealing Jutsu of Sunagakure is very interesting. If I have the chance, I would like to study it."
Orochimaru did not hide his purpose. In addition to Tailed Beast Chakra, he was also very interested in Sealing Jutsu, who had a unique heritage.
Shu Furukawa used Earth Release ninjutsu to dig out a hole in the mound. After the two entered, they sat on the ground. "Teacher, it is said that Sunagakure was founded by Ninja Temple?"
"Does the inheritance of Sealing Jutsu come from Sage of Six Paths?"
Orochimaru glanced at Shu Furukawa with admiration. Most ninjas did not care about this information. "I didn't expect you also like to collect these secrets. In my opinion, Sealing Jutsu has two schools, one is that of the Uzumaki Clan, and the other is inherited by Land of Wind Ninja Temple."
"Sunagakure has mastered the method of sealing Tailed Beast very early. Not only the technique, Ninja Temple also inherited a treasure."
"As for Sealing Jutsu coming from Sage of Six Paths, I believe this is true."
"So we have two goals tonight, Xiu, you don't want to miss this opportunity!"
Shu Furukawa responded with an appropriately fanatical expression. Ever since he found God Tree Root alive, he had started planning [Collection]Tailed Beast Chakra.
Although Sealing Jutsu is good, it is not his goal. After all, Orochimaru can only believe half of what he says.
The two of them chatted about the secrets of Sage of Six Paths while waiting for nightfall. It wasn't until stars appeared in the night sky that Orochimaru stood up calmly, pulled up his hood and said, "Let's go, it's our turn!"
A Sunagakure Ninja wearing a white turban appeared at the entrance. Orochimaru using Transformation Technique just nodded slightly, and the other party led the two of them into the perception barrier.
Some businessmen were also intercepted, but Shu Furukawa found that his side was unimpeded. It was obvious that the latent intelligence officers held a lot of power.
Orochimaru and Shu Furukawa looked at the tallest building in the distance together. Wind Shadow Building was in the center of the village. "Xiu, this is how ninjas infiltrate. By combining money with ninjutsu, you can do a lot of things."
"If we can have eternal life and control a country for our own use, the truth will be just a matter of time."
