One month later.
On a sandy Gobi Desert, dozens of Konoha Ninja gathered around Shin'un, quietly waiting for something.
Suddenly, a breeze carrying yellow sand swept over them, and a Jonin next to Shin'un, who had his eyes closed and his Jonin touching the ground, seemed to notice something and trembled.
Standing up, the Konoha Jonin looked at Shin'un beside him and said respectfully:
" Lord Hirakawa, we've spotted traces of Sand Ninja ahead."
"Um?"
Shin'un retracted the wisp of blue-purple electricity floating in the center of his palm and looked up.
" Sand Ninja?"
"Has it finally arrived?"
How many people are there? Have any supplies been found?
As he spoke, Shin'un took a few steps forward, placed his right hand on his brow, and gazed into the distance.
Upon hearing Shin'un's question, the Jonin for a moment before replying:
"Report: What I observed appears to be a reconnaissance team from the Sand Ninja transport squad. There were only six people in total, and no indication was found that they were carrying a large amount of supplies."
"Is that so..."
Shin'un raised his hand to touch his chin and turned to look behind him.
"Go and inform Nara- senpai that the Sand Ninja transport team is arriving soon. Assemble the team and prepare to inspect the supplies."
"Yes!"
The last Chunin in the group Chunin the order and vanished in Body Flicker Technique.
Watching the departing figures of the Chunin, Shin'un straightened up, his face gradually becoming serious.
"Get ready, let's head to meet the Sand Ninja team."
"Clear!"
Amidst the yellow sand, a six-person Sunagakure team is advancing.
In the group, a Sunagakure Jonin with fair skin, seemingly untouched by wind and sun, appeared to have noticed something and immediately ordered the rest of his squad to stop.
After a brief pause, the pale-faced Jonin turned and gave an order to the only female Sand Ninja in the six-person team.
"Remote sensing."
"Yes!"
The female Sand Ninja Sand Ninja was a rare long-range sensory ninja in Sand Village. Upon receiving the order from the white -Jonin, she immediately half-squatted on the ground and began to Hand Seals.
A slight fluctuation of Chakra appeared, accompanied by a gentle breeze that emanated from her body and drifted rapidly into the distance. The scene several kilometers ahead was instantly clear in the female ninja's mind.
"That is..."
Soon, with the successful execution of her Sensory Ninjutsu, the female Sand Ninja quickly noticed a group of ninjas rapidly approaching their location.
Among them, the leader of this Konoha team stands out.
Besides his exceptionally young and handsome appearance, and his unusually long, silvery-white hair, there was also a large amount of fine electric current wrapped around his body.
" Konoha, Lightning Release, silver-white hair... It's Konoha Lightning Lord!"
Without hesitation, the female ninja from Sunagakure immediately recognized the identity of the ninja covered in lightning.
Suddenly, from the female Sand Ninja's perspective, Shin'un, who was running, abruptly looked up, glanced around, and then looked directly at his own location.
"Have you spotted me?"
Swallowing hard, the female Sand Ninja realized that her spying had been discovered by Konoha Lightning Lord.
"Such keen perception..."
Opening her eyes, the female Sand Ninja stood up and looked at the pale-faced Jonin in front of her.
"Report: A Konoha team has been spotted ahead. They are not making any attempt to conceal their movements, and should be the advance team from Konoha to receive supplies."
"However, the leader of this team is... Hirakawa Shin'un."
Upon hearing this, the pale- Jonin taken aback, then sneered and said:
"Is that Konoha Lightning Lord?"
"I'm going to see for myself today whether this fourteen-year-old brat really has three heads and six arms, that's why he's being talked about like a god throughout the Shinobi World."
Turning his head, the pale-faced Jonin looked at a Chunin behind him.
Go and inform the rear transport team to speed up their advance.
"Yes!"
The Chunin accepted the order and Body Flicker Technique vanished from the spot using Body Flicker.
Seeing this, the pale-faced Jonin looked at the distant yellow sand and said:
"Alright, now that we've spotted the Konoha support team, let's speed up and meet them."
After saying that, the pale- Jonin gathered his Chakra and prepared to use Body Flicker Technique to move towards the Konoha team in front of him.
"Sizzle~"
Before the pale-faced Jonin could even take a step, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the air not far in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a figure crackling with electricity appeared in front of him.
"What!"
Upon seeing this, the pale- Jonin broke out in a cold sweat, and his right hand instinctively reached into his ninja tool pouch behind him, pulling out a Kunai.
"How?"
The electric current coursing through his body quickly subsided, revealing Shin'un's true face, who said expressionlessly:
"Could it be that Sunagakure is still unwilling to remain idle and wants to fight Konoha again?"
"No, no, no!" Upon hearing this, the pale-faced Jonin realized that without realizing it, his right hand had already grasped a Kunai and held it upright in front of him.
"Whoosh~"
Just then, dozens of Konoha Ninja who had been left behind by Shin'un arrived Body Flicker Technique, fiercely surrounding the six Sand Ninja.
Retracting his Kunai, the pale-faced Jonin glanced around at the dozens of grimacing Konoha Ninja, and forced a smile as he said:
"How is that possible?"
"Oh, really...?"
Looking at the flustered Sunagakure Jonin before him, Shen Yun Shin'un his arm and said:
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I only have one head and two arms, not three heads and six arms."
Upon hearing this, the pale -Jonin ninja, terrified by Shin'un's ghostly speed, could no longer remain calm and stammered:
"You... you must be joking..."
Seeing that this Sunagakure Jonin nervous that he couldn't even speak, Shin'un narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and said:
"It seems the Sand Ninja is truly out of talent, sending someone like you to exchange supplies with Konoha."
"Pfft..."
As soon as he said this, bursts of suppressed laughter erupted from the dozens of Konoha Ninja around him, causing the Sunagakure Jonin's originally fair face to flush red.
Turning his head, Shin'un looked at the dozens of Konoha Ninja around him and said in a pretentious manner:
"Be serious!"
After speaking, Shin'un looked towards the distant yellow sand and asked:
"What about the supplies that were transported?"
The pale- Jonin lowered his head, knowing that Shin'un was asking him a question, and swallowed hard before saying:
"We're essentially the reconnaissance team; the supply convoy follows behind."
Shin'un nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Since that's the case..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shin'un suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
Just as everyone was wondering, the Konoha who had just been sent by Shin'un to inform Nara Shikahito appeared in Body Flicker Technique Chunin.
After bowing slightly as he approached Shin'un, the Konoha Ninja said:
"Report, Lord Nara has assembled the troops."
Shin'un nodded, indicating that he understood.
Turning around, Shin'un looked at the Sunagakure Jonin.
"In that case, I will lead you to the supplies inspection site later."
Half an hour later, Nara Shikahito at the designated temporary storage and acceptance site for the supplies.
Outside the Konoha camp, a dozen tall and spacious warehouses were scattered around, connected by flat and compacted roads, and surrounded by thick and sturdy walls.
Originally, this was just a desolate desert, but it was temporarily transformed into its current form after Nara Shikahito chose it as a storage location for supplies.
Taking advantage of the ninjas' ability to use Earth Release, it only took them three days to build such a large-scale material storage area covering more than 20,000 square meters.
After more than ten days of waiting, this warehouse is finally ready to be officially put into use.
