Chapter 322 West
In the west, yellow sand covers the sky and the sun.
The migrating troops moved forward slowly, but the desert border ahead was covered with lush green trees.
Whether it is the seemingly never-ending wind and sand, or the desert beneath everyone's feet, there is always a moment of rest, and there is always an end to the border.
The River Kingdom is the termination line at the junction of the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom.
From the yellow sand to the border of the River Country, it is blocked by the valley and river. As for the noisy wind, it seems that it is too lazy to take a step further to the east valley.
"Everyone, after crossing the river country, we are home." Orochimaru smiled and stared at the large forest ahead.
Chiyo said: "Although we are old, we still know the way."
"Well, yes, we are still very familiar with the western border of the River Country and the Fire Country."
Ebizo also looked at the familiar land around him with a confident smile.
In front of the migrating troops from Sand Hidden Village, three people stood on the edge of a valley cliff.
On the opposite bank of the valley is a large forest.
At this time, the migrating troops were passing through the valley, riding on the water. Due to the large number of people, the river in the valley was also filled up and became blocked.
Ebizo was still looking around, with a trace of reminiscence on his old face.
In the past wars with Konoha, their Sunagakure Village had invaded here many times.
Chiyo's face showed more helplessness.
Unlike Ebizo, she has not yet recovered from the reality that Sunagakure Village has ceased to exist.
Orochimaru looked at the two old guys and said happily: "This time is different. This time, after crossing this river valley, we are a family."
Ebizo's expression changed slightly, and the pride on his face disappeared.
Chiyo sighed and did not argue. He planned to leave along the valley wall and meet the villagers in the valley.
Although they have not yet recovered from the reality that Sunagakure Village no longer exists, these days, the Konoha ninjas have gone all out to protect them against the White Zetsu army.
There is no Leaf Village.
No Uchiha.
There is no Orochimaru.
Under the division and suppression of the White Zetsu army, this Sand Hidden Village will probably cease to exist in the end.
This was also the reason why Chiyo and Ebizo didn't have any intention of rebelling along the way, and suddenly ran away with the remaining ninjas of Sunagakure.
At this time, Orochimaru stopped Chiyo, still smiling, and said: "You two, since you are going to become family soon, I don't mind helping you to help you integrate into this big family faster."
Chiyo, who walked to the edge of the cliff, heard this.
She came back again.
Looking at Orochimaru with a smile on his face.
Chiyo said angrily: "There is some bad water in your stomach, pour it out quickly!"
If Minato had a smile that looked sunny and cheerful, then Orochimaru's smile looked cold and evil.
Even if this is a desert border and it doesn't snow in winter, looking at Orochimaru's smiling face can still send chills down the back.
Ebizo's eyes also lit up and he moved closer to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was not angry either. He looked towards the south of the River Country and said with a smile:
"When we sent troops to Sand Hidden Village, we met the armed forces formed by the River Country on the way."
He didn't use the word 'ninja force' to describe it, because that would embarrass the word ninja.
The ninja team formed by the River Kingdom is too weak, but it also wants to carve up the territory of the Fire Kingdom.
Therefore, Orochimaru wanted to integrate the small countries on the border of the Land of Fire on behalf of Lord Yinyue before going back.
After all, even Sunagakure Village was included.
Can the small countries surrounding the Fire Country continue to roam the ninja world?
What kind of old foxes are Chiyo and Ebizo?
That was an old fox who had lived in the desert for nearly a hundred years. They naturally knew what Orochimaru wanted to do.
Ebizo looked at the large troops migrating to the Kingdom of Rivers through the valley below the cliff, and said in a deep voice: "But if we leave the troops, what if another White Zetsu monster attacks..."
Chiyo also looked surprised.
She knew that although Orochimaru was annoying, he was still very reliable in doing things, and there had been no mistakes in his command along the way.
At the moment, Orochimaru wanted to leave the migratory unit, so he was naturally holding back his nerves and wanted to go wild outside. However, if he dared to do this, he must have smelled some important information.
Orochimaru glanced at Chiyo and Ebizo, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said calmly: "Whether you want to follow me or not, it's up to you, haha."
As he spoke, he took two steps back toward the cliff, formed a seal with his hands, and pressed toward the ground.
Bang——
The fog cleared.
A huge brown psychic snake appeared at the other end of the valley, carefully approaching the huge snake's head, waiting for Orochimaru to step on it.
Ebizo looked surprised, and while he was still hesitating, he was dragged by Chiyo, followed Orochimaru's footsteps, and stepped onto the snake's head.
hiss--
The giant snake opened its bloody mouth, its fangs exposed, its bright red tongue flying, and it neighed.
After Orochimaru and the other three stood firm, he swung his tail and raised a splash of water on the river, then quickly headed south of the River Country.
"Sister?" Ebizo looked puzzled at the sister beside him.
You know, since Chiyo has grown old, he is no longer interested in things that only young people are interested in.
Ebizo looked back at the migrating team from time to time. He was worried about the safety of the remaining ninjas in Sunagakure Village and the people of the Land of Wind.
Chiyo shook his head and remained silent.
As the giant snake left the valley, entered the mountains, and walked along the edge of the town in the Kingdom of Rivers, Orochimaru smiled, and then he explained:
"I received a message from Lord Yin Yue."
Ebizo and Chiyo's expressions changed slightly, and they almost said in unison: "Oh?"
At the moment, whether it is Sunagakure or the Kingdom of Wind, in short, whether Sunagakure or the people, whether they live or die, all depends on that one word.
Therefore, they would naturally pay special attention to any news about Yin Yue.
Normally, Ebizo and Chiyo hate Orochimaru talking. For one thing, they wish Orochimaru could finish all the words in one breath.
Orochimaru was not in a hurry and said slowly:
"Have you not noticed that a week has passed since we broke through the White Jue army's defense line a week ago, and the White Jue army has not caught up with us yet. Aren't you curious?"
Ebizo probed: "Isn't it because we run fast?"
As soon as these words came out, even Chiyo rolled his eyes at his brother.
Orochimaru was not annoyed, he said cheerfully: "No, it's Lord Yunyue who has returned from the sky."
Ebizo frowned, his beard moved slightly, and his lips murmured: "No, your moon-drinking Lord can go to heaven?"
However, Chiyo looked extremely serious and asked seriously: "What is he going to do in heaven?"
Although Chiyo didn't know what Yin Yue was busy with during this period, the situation in the ninja world was so dangerous that it was naturally impossible for Yin Yue to be idle.
Since he didn't care about Bai Zetsu's invasion of the five great ninja villages, it meant that he was busy with more important things than these things.
"Sorry, I don't know either."
Orochimaru spread his hands and smiled helplessly.
"..." Chiyo.
Ebizo followed Orochimaru's example, spreading his hands and imitating his tone: "Sorry... you don't know either, but you are quite polite."
"But I know the latest changes in the ninja world after Yin Yue-kun returned from heaven."
Orochimaru said.
The two old guys held their breath and concentrated again.
Orochimaru then explained:
"There will no longer be White Zetsus. Oh, a slip of the tongue. There will still be White Zetsus, but they will never attack humans again."
"Hiss!!" Ebizo took a breath of air and said anxiously: "Seriously? I mean, is this information true?"
Chiyo directly grasped the core of the problem and said happily: "The White Zetsu crisis is over, does this mean that we don't need to migrate anymore??"
No wonder, Orochimaru has not been very concerned about the migration since early this morning. It turns out that he has known the news for a long time.
"Of course, keep it true. This is what Yin Yuejun said to me personally." Orochimaru said slowly: "No need to migrate? Haha, you can go back now and bring everyone from Sunagakure and Wind Country back to the desert. What do you think? Did Lord Yin Yue spend so much effort to move to the four major countries just to deal with a White Jue army? "
"Well, this...isn't it?"
Ebizo said in confusion.
Chiyo also looked confused.
It is normal for humans to fight against humans, and their brains will be broken, and their ancestors will not recognize each other. However, when humans fight against monsters, in extraordinary times, some outstanding people will inevitably appear to guide humans to face the crisis.
In their opinion, Yiyue is such a savior, the savior of the ninja world.
The two of them couldn't figure it out.
Except against Bai Jue.
What is the purpose of all Yinyue's actions from before to now?
But Orochimaru smiled, and the smile was meaningful. Although Orochimaru himself didn't know what Yin Yuejun was going to do in the end, he was looking forward to it and following it.
What Yin Yuejun wants to do is naturally impossible to fall into the cliché and inferiority.
Seeing Orochimaru, he remained silent.
Ebizo and Chiyo looked at each other, and they fell silent.
For a moment, Ebizo broke the stalemate and said with emotion: "That's all, that's all, since your Fire Nation needs people, then we'll just go. Anyway, you'll have food and shelter when the time comes, so it's not us who will suffer."
Chiyo also gave up, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, I, Osha Gakure, have long wanted to leave the desert and settle in the Land of Fire. Of course, it would be even better if we could be given a part of the rich Konoha Village!"
"Although the wish is very beautiful." Ebizo complained: "Sister, I think you are just trying to eat shit. If Yiyue divides Konoha among us, I will eat it alive in front of the entire Fire Nation. Fuma Shuriken!"
…
…
River country.
capital.
The city does not have towering walls, only a few guard towers. After all, this is the ninja world. No matter how high the city wall is, it is all flat land and passable roads for ninjas.
Therefore, in the ninja world, there are few cities with towering walls, because they are just decorations.
Oh, except for one place, that is the Iron Kingdom in the north. That traditional country ruled by warriors still retains towering walls and fortress buildings.
Daming Mansion.
There are many palaces, but it is not too shabby.
Main hall.
The daimyo of the River Country's front was covered in dust, and he was spinning around in a panic. The ministers around him were also extremely panicked.
This daimyo is over sixty years old. His face is covered with wrinkles and he is dressed in fine clothes. He looks very noble.
His age can be considered a long life among the daimyo of the country in the ninja world.
“Damn it, damn it, you shouldn’t have been greedy in the first place and sent people to form a ninja force to go to the Land of Fire, thinking of carving up the land of the Land of Fire!!
Why is Konoha still not destroyed when the three major ninja villages besiege it?
The Land of Fire was abandoned, and Konoha even hid such a strong ninja army? "
The Daimyo of the Land of Rivers was furious and kicked a minister, shouting:
"It's all your fault, why didn't you stop me at the beginning! ! "
The ministers trembled like quails, no one answered, but they all cried out in their hearts: "Sir, those who stopped you at the beginning were dragged out and beheaded by your order!"
"What should I do, what should I do?" The Daimyo of the Land of Rivers said in horror: "Why did the Land of Winds lose so quickly? Looking at the number of people in the migration troops, it seems that the entire Land of Winds was captured. Aren't they all ninjas? How could Sand Village lose so thoroughly? "
Still no one answered.
The ministers sighed in their hearts:
"The gap between ninjas is sometimes greater than the gap between humans and dogs! ”
Before that, the Daimyo of the River Country knew that Orochimaru was personally leading his troops to the Wind Country. Although they were all desperate, the Daimyo was betting that Orochimaru would not be able to take down the Sand Country and would waste a lot of time in the Wind Country.
As long as there was enough time, the Daimyo of the River Country would be ready to compensate the Fire Country with materials and ask for forgiveness from Konoha at that time.
But now...
"Forget it, send envoys to the Fire Country and Konoha to seek peace!" The Daimyo of the River Country said in a deep voice: "No matter what price the current person in Konoha offers, we will accept it."
This is the solution out of helplessness.
After all, it was their River Country that was unreasonable first, and when the Fire Country seemed to be declining, they sent armed forces to the Fire Country...
As a result, the other person's "house" was just dirty, and the owner was not in a hurry to clean it.
They, a group of piranhas, sniffed the smell and swarmed into the person's home, ready to divide up the property.
At this time, Orochimaru's cold and hoarse voice hovered in the palace:
"Any price accepted? As a daimyo, you should commit suicide. All the treasury of the River Country will be handed over to the Fire Country. In this way, most of you will be spared. "
The daimyo of the River Country's face changed drastically. He looked up at the top of the palace and shouted loudly: "Who, who are you? ? ? "
The ministers also looked panicked. Obviously, the River Country had attacked the Fire Country before, and now they came to the door.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the gate, and the two heavy doors were suddenly opened, and even huge cracks appeared on the doors.
The one who opened the door was the brown giant python summoned by Orochimaru.
It just flicked its tail lightly, and the wooden door of the human palace was pulled open.
Orochimaru walked slowly into the palace with Chiyo and Ebizo. The three figures were stretched by the light and looked particularly slender.
"It's him..."
"Big, big, big Orochimaru! "
The ministers of the River Kingdom cried out in shock, and some even fell to the ground, moving backwards.
"You..."
The Daimyo of the River Kingdom was also as pale as death at this moment, staring at Orochimaru who was walking towards him, his calves suddenly trembled, and he felt dizzy for a moment.
Orochimaru said happily:
"What do you think? Do as I say, or do I send you to the west with my own hands?"
