Arriving at a hotel at random, Uya no longer looked like a child, but rather a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager, so no one gave Uya any strange looks.
After sitting down, Uya casually ordered a cup of tea.
Coincidentally, a group of people at the table behind Uya were discussing matters related to the battlefield.
"I heard that the Konoha Ninja Village of the Land of Fire is coming in really strong this time, directly invading the heart of our Land of Wind."
"Yes, but thankfully, they're not used to our environment, and they're still being held back by our ninjas from the Land of Wind."
"Sigh, when will this war ever end?"
Hearing the news coming from behind him, Uya's eyes flickered slightly. He calmly finished his tea and turned to leave.
From these few sentences, Uya can deduce that Konoha's current situation should be quite good.
However, since the Land of Wind is almost entirely desert, the ninjas of Sunagakure thrive there, while the ninjas of Konoha, though not exactly declining in number, are severely limited.
In the end, Konoha didn't gain any advantage.
Of course, these people discussing the war were just ordinary people, and their information might not be accurate. Uya planned to bring a few ninjas along to get more details.
After wandering around the town, Uya finally got the information he wanted.
Among the Konoha troops that invaded Sunagakure were Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya, while Orochimaru was recalled to Konoha.
Tsunade, on the other hand, was stationed at the very back, or rather, at the border between the Land of Rain Land of Wind, where she served as medical-nin to deal with casualties on the front lines.
In that case, there's no need to worry about Tsunade's safety.
As for Hatake Sakumo, Uya believed that even if he encountered the Kazekage and joined forces with Jiraiya, he could escape unscathed even if he couldn't defeat him.
Orochimaru reached the Kage Level a year ago. Jiraiya if Jiraiya is slower, he should catch up with Orochimaru in a year.
Speaking of which, Uya doesn't know if Tsunade has successfully developed the Strength of a Hundred Technique. If he has the chance, he could go and check on her.
After learning some information about the battlefield, Uya decided not to go there, but instead planned to bypass it and head straight for Sunagakure.
Before that, there is still one thing to do.
Uya concealed his identity and engaged in slightly unusual behavior in the town, attracting the attention of the Sunagakure.
Immediately after Uya left the town, the ninja called a companion and quietly followed behind Uya.
They suspected that Uya might be a scout for Konoha.
However, in reality, Uya deliberately lured them out, with the aim of killing them... or rather, to obtain a plausible identity.
Under the Shockwave Sensing, Uya was able to clearly perceive the movements of the two Sunagakure behind him.
After leaving the town and gradually venturing deeper into the desert, Uya suddenly turned around and calmly glanced at the two people behind him.
The two had been using the desert as cover to follow Uya, but when they saw Uya suddenly turn around, they both knew something was wrong.
Both of them immediately formed hand Hand Seals, intending to retreat, but Uya wouldn't give them the chance.
Whoosh!!
In the next instant, Uya appeared directly in front of the two of them and suddenly threw a punch.
boom!!!
The sand sea suddenly surged with waves like ocean water, and the two Sunagakure ninjas were instantly blown apart.
Uya's current Power of Tremors is truly terrifying.
Splash!
The desert even developed terrifying cracks under Uya's punch, but since sand is fluid, it wouldn't be long before the marks were smoothed over.
Looking at the corpses of the two Sunagakure on the ground, Uya shook his head and then slightly formed a Hand Seals.
" Transformation Technique!"
Pfft!
As the smoke cleared, Uya's figure had transformed into that of one of the ninjas, and there was almost no flaw in his appearance.
Of course, ordinary Transformation Technique are difficult to perfectly conceal one's tracks, and will be exposed as soon as they are used. However, Uya does not need to hide for a long time. He only needs to be able to infiltrate Sunagakure and find the Kusanagi Sword.
Once he gets his hands on the Kusanagi Sword, Uya won't care about anything else. Even if his identity is exposed, it won't be easy for Sunagakure to keep him here!
There's also the issue of the Transformation Technique's duration, but you only need to use it once more before entering Sunagakure.
After taking out the map of the Land of Wind and examining it in detail, Uya once again set off on her journey, heading towards Sunagakure.
This time, Uya traveled very quickly, without stopping along the way. He basically skipped over any small towns he encountered, gradually venturing deeper into the Land of Wind Land of Wind finally arriving in its heartland.
Sunagakure.
The entire village is built within a towering wall.
It's called a wall, but its height looks almost like a mountain range, a mountain range rising in the desert!
These are ninjas skilled in Earth Release, and there was more than one of them. Together, they carved out a rock wall in the desert to block the sandstorm.
Absolutely spectacular!
This rock wall stretches for an unknown distance, enveloping the entire Sunagakure. It blocks most of the sandstorms from entering, making it almost impossible for them to penetrate the Sunagakure.
On the rock wall that forms a circle, resembling a wooden barrel, there is a narrow crevice, like a sliver of sky.
This is the entrance to Sunagakure, guarded by a squadron of Sand Ninja.
The surrounding rock walls are stepped, stretching all the way to the highest point, while at intervals above, Sand Ninja are watching them.
These are just the sentry posts on the rock face; inside Sunagakure, there are also sentry posts specifically tasked with watching the sky.
Of course, Uya didn't need to infiltrate from the front.
With his speed, even if he were to leap over this towering rock wall, the Sunagakure ninjas would have little chance of detecting him.
Silently.
A seemingly normal Sunagakure Sunagakure appeared on the streets; it was none other than Uya, who had infiltrated the village.
Walking through the streets of Sunagakure, Uya sensed an atmosphere completely different from that of Konoha.
If Konoha is bustling with activity, its streets Tenten incredibly noisy, then Sunagakure is a place where hardly anyone ventures out.
Wandering the streets like Uya does is rather suspicious behavior.
However, Uya possessed the power of Shockwave Sensing, and no visible or hidden sentry within a radius of one mile could escape Uya's perception, so Uya easily avoided all the Sand Ninja.
"This really shows the difference between Sunagakure and Konoha."
After walking for a while, Uya looked back at the rock wall that enveloped the entire Sunagakure and commented to himself.
As Uya continued deeper into Sunagakure, he used his Shockwave Sensing ability to observe the village.
"Not only are there far fewer sensory-type ninjas than in Konoha, but the number of both covert and overt sentries is also significantly less than in Konoha. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Sunagakure focuses on an elite approach, resulting in a small number of ninjas."
"Speaking of which, Konoha seems to have a huge Sensory Barrier that covers the entire village, but I didn't detect it at all when I entered Sunagakure, so I guess it doesn't exist."
It must be said that the power of the Shockwave Sensing made it possible for almost all secrets to be exposed wherever Uya went.
As Uya ventured deeper into Sunagakure, the Uya Kusanagi Sword sealed in his palm suddenly transmitted a fiery sensation to Uya.
"So the other Kusanagi Sword is indeed in Sunagakure?" (To be continued.)
