Chapter 70: Sand Village's General Attack on Konoha (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!)
The sky of the Kingdom of Wind is dark yellow.
Yellow sand connects the sky and the earth. The wind blows the sand like flowing waves, and the raised sand dunes are flattened by wind erosion.
The huge sunset hangs at the end of the sand sea, as if placing the whole world in the desert.
The capital of the Kingdom of Wind is in the only oasis.
It is like a giant mourning death, half of its body is buried in the loess, with only its arms sticking out of the water.
The Sand Village is located next to the oasis. The closed and wide circular earth and stone building can serve as a wall to protect the capital of the Kingdom of Wind while resisting the invasion of sand and dust.
At this time, in the Sand Village Wind Shadow Building, there is a round table meeting room.
A man with long dark blue hair and wearing a blue wind shadow robe stands in front of the statues of three wind shadows, and his face is very similar to the third statue.
"Everyone, I have recently obtained new information."
Looking at the Sand Village high-level officials including Ebizo in front of him, the Third Kazekage's originally cold face became solemn and said: "A strange ninja appeared at the border of Konoha and seriously injured Tsunade, who was the border commander."
"Now, Tsunade has returned to Konoha for treatment under the protection of Jiraiya, and is currently under the temporary command of Orochimaru."
Speaking of this, the Third Kazekage paused and said in a deep voice: "So, I decided to take this opportunity to end the previous test, gather troops to borrow the rain country, and launch a general attack on the fire country!"
After these words came out, everyone did not show any surprise, but fell into deep thought.
The Second Kazekage Shamon is an explorer similar to Tobirama Senju.
He set up a ninja school in imitation of Konoha to train and promote civilian ninjas, and used the special mineral resources of the wind country to vigorously develop puppetry, thereby cultivating a large number of excellent puppeteers such as Monzaemon.
At the same time, it is the first village among the five major ninja villages to obtain the tailed beast.
Long before Hashirama Senju convened the Five Kage Conference to distribute the tailed beasts, Sand Village had studied the special abilities of Shukaku, the One-Tailed One, and Sand Village developed the Magnetism and Sand Manipulation Ninjutsu based on this.
The Third Kazekage, who stood out from many competitors after the Second Kazekage died, is a Bloody Ninja with the Bloodline Limit: Magnetism. The powerful Magnetism is enough to suppress the Puppet Master.
The title of "Strongest Kazekage" has been widely spread, and he urgently needs to win a big victory to prove his ability.
And the first one he targeted was naturally the neighbor of the Wind Country, the resource-rich Fire Country.
"The first generation has expressed our demands to Senju Hashirama. The One-Tail has been in our hands from the beginning to the end, so what we need is never the power of the tailed beast!"
The Third Kazekage turned his head to look at the statue of the first generation behind him, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "What we need is land resources and task shares, but Senju Hashirama arrogantly ignored our demands!"
"In that case, let's take it ourselves. This is not robbery. This is ours, and we deserve it!"
The economic gap between countries is widening, and we strive for reasonable and reasonable interests on the grounds of increasing fair privileges.
As soon as the righteous and well-founded words came out, many people present felt the same.
The harsh desert environment of the Wind Country has become an excellent food for cultivating ninjas and cultivating the tenacious Sand Village.
But if there is a choice, who wants to be in such a ghost place? !
Looking around, there are cliffs and barren deserts everywhere, with no signs of life. Crops are difficult to grow. There is no sea, and it is impossible to trade like the Fire Country. It is also very difficult to do business. To reach Sand Village, you have to cross a vast desert area, and even missions cannot be accepted...
"I agree with the idea of the Third Generation."
An elite jonin nodded and asked with a somewhat hurried breath: "Please give the order to attack the Fire Country!"
The general plan is clear to the Sand Village leaders present. The only thing that needs to be discussed now is when to attack so as to give a fatal blow to the Fire Country and Konoha.
"I have communicated with Elder Chiyo, who is still at the front line, through letters."
The Third Kazekage looked at everyone and said in a steady tone: "With Tsunade not at the front line, Elder Chiyo's poison can work wonders, enough to catch Orochimaru off guard."
"So, I think the sooner the better, next week is the best time!"
After the Third Kazekage finished speaking, Ebizo sat there without saying anything, his eyes hidden under his drooping eyebrows, and the fluctuations in his eyes and expression could not be seen, but he obviously agreed with his point of view.
The other senior executives looked at each other. Although a few of them reserved their opinions, with Ebizo and Chiyo's tacit approval, it must be a foregone conclusion to launch a general attack on Konoha.
Of course, most of the people present now are excited about it, and no one will feel timid.
The rich family assets accumulated by the Second Kazekage Shamon, plus the warlike Third Kazekage, the entire Sand Village is restless, eager to obtain land resources through war.
They are very strong, very, very strong.
They have had enough of the poverty that does not match their strength, and they also want more oases instead of deserts!
"Third generation, I have another question."
The head of the intelligence department seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice: "The terrain of the River Country is not conducive to the movement of large troops. We can only choose to borrow the road from the Rain Country."
"Is there any problem in the Rain Country? For example, that Hanzo, I recently received news that he has been called a 'demigod'..."
"... Hanzo? Demigod? Don't tell me you really believe it."
The Third Kazekage glanced at him and said indifferently: "I recently heard that a force called Dawn appeared in the Rain Country. It is composed of downtrodden nobles and refugees. They claim that their leader can bring peace to the Rain Country and the Ninja World. Should we also pay attention to it?"
After this, the head of the department blushed and lowered his head in shame.
"When did we need to care about a small country?"
The eyes of the Third Kazekage were full of sharpness. He glanced at the people in front of him and sneered: "Whether they agree or not, whether they refuse or not, what does it have to do with us?"
"From the beginning to the end, there is only one enemy we really care about, that is the Land of Fire and Konoha!"
"Other than that, just crush them!"
The two consultants, Chiyo and Ebizo, were ninjas in the early days of Sand Village, and are now his capable assistants.
Chiyo's sophisticated poison making and puppet technology have cultivated the current puppet troops for Sand Village.
Ebizo is responsible for the logistics of Sand Village. The spies he trained are lurking in the ninja villages of the five major countries. He has arranged his eyes and ears in many ninja villages. His intelligence is enough to support him to become a consultant of Sand Village.
Although there are occasional conflicts of ideas with the Kazekage, he will support him in major matters and work hard for the development of Sand Village.
In addition, there is Rasa, who inherited his legacy and can use magnetic escape, the female ninja Yekura who has the blood limit·burn escape, and the young Scorpion...
So, the current Sand Village can be said to be united, and there are more and more talented ninjas of the new generation, so there is no need to care about the Rain Country.
Even if the Rain Village has a Hanzo who is good at swordsmanship and once defeated the Iron Country head-on, he cannot resist the edge of their Sand Village.
Whether it is a "leader" who can bring peace to the Rain Country and the ninja world, or the so-called "demigod" boasted by the samurai and the Rain Village ninja, in the eyes of the Third Kazekage, it is just a means of creating momentum.
The samurai hopes to wash away the humiliation of being defeated by raising the opponent.
It is better to be defeated by a samurai known as a "demigod" than to be defeated by a samurai from a small country who is unknown, right?
The Rain Village ninja is guided by Hanzo behind the scenes, so that he can be valued by other ninjas, gain the favor of the Rain Country daimyo and nobles, and at the same time improve his own voice and status.
He was very familiar with this set of procedures.
Moreover, even if Hanzo was very strong, so what?
In the final analysis, he was just a samurai abandoned by the times, nothing more!
"Elder Ebizo."
The Third Kazekage stood up and said to Ebizo beside him: "I'll leave the preparation of materials to you."
"Don't worry, Third." Ebizo nodded, still with a deep expression, "But you'd better find a way to deal with the Fuku. I can't stand the torment of the One-Tail with my old bones."
Hearing this, the Third Kazekage's face sank, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the One-Tail Jinchūriki.
After everyone in the conference room left, he walked to the window of the conference room and looked at the panoramic view of the village again.
A group of tumbleweeds rolled in the quiet rustling sound, and the yellow sand left a slight trace because of his passing. It ran from the top of the hillside from left to right.
The hot wind blew from the sand dunes, and fresh sand fluttered on the window.
The entire Sand Village is like a giant, bowing its head to mourn the withering of the forest. The sunlight is their blood, which gradually drains away until it is swallowed by the sand and dust into the darkness.
"The Land of Fire, Konoha, the Land of Rain, the Land of Rain..."
The Third Kazekage's eyes flickered, exuding a cold and chilling coldness: "No matter who it is, don't think of stopping the rise of the Sand Village."
This time, they, the Sand Village, will surely become the winner of the Second Ninja World War!
