As everyone expected, the "National Protector Army" of the Sunagakure Elders neither protects the country nor has the combat power it deserves. It also does not receive support from the separatist regions. In addition to the arrogance stemming from their identity and the looted Apart from abundant supplies, they had nothing.
Not only did they not have an advantage in numbers, they also lacked all kinds of new ninja tools developed by the shogunate, and their combat method was still the traditional three-person team raid. Therefore, although they are all confident, in the eyes of the Third Kazekage and Ebizo, these vassals of the Presbyterian sect are already "dead people in futures".
Therefore, after the ninja armies of the Kazekage sect and the Sovereign sect jointly launched an attack, the Presbyterian sect retreated steadily, and the former Sunagakure ninjas who formed the "Guardian Army" suffered heavy casualties.
Konoha and the shogunate did not take advantage of the situation as the Third Kazekage had initially feared.
Ye Cang led his troops to garrison at the border of the Kingdom of Wind, maintaining a state of silent confrontation with the western frontier army commanded by Uchiha Fugaku. Although the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, there were no signs of war.
Iwagakure and Kumogakure of the Northern Alliance were relieved, but also a little disappointed.
Once a war breaks out, it is not easy to end.
What's more, even Onoki couldn't guarantee that his village would not be involved in the war.
And in this time of civil strife in Sunagakure, it was Luosha who gained the most.
Just as Uchiha Tokumitsu imagined.
When the internal conflicts of Sunagakure intensified and a civil war was about to start, the middle-class Sunagakure ninjas made up their minds to unite around Rasa to fight against the other three forces in the Kingdom of Wind - the elders were already dead. , naturally no one would count them among their own factions.
As a result, Luo Shaye, who was originally controversial for his promotion in the joint anti-terrorism force, naturally became the spokesperson of a faction among Sunagakure.
For Uchiha Tokko, this gripping point is enough.
…
"scorpion!"
The Third Kazekage frowned and used the sand to block the poisonous needle shot by the puppet, "Are you seeking death!"
Ever since he spoke to Scorpion by the lake that day, for some unknown reason, Scorpion began to launch various childish attacks on the Third Kazekage.
Of course, the Third Kazekage was extremely angry at first, feeling that this was an offense against him, but he soon discovered that Scorpion's attack was extremely ridiculous, just like a child's play.
Therefore, the Third Kazekage believed that this was a kind of incompetent revenge that Scorpion got angry out of after being seen using puppets to play house for his parents.
However, although the Third Kazekage was willing to tolerate his younger generation, he began to become impatient with Scorpion's childish tactics more and more times.
"...You can't tell anyone!"
"Um?"
"Don't tell anyone what you saw last time!"
Xie said coldly.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell anyone..."
The Third Kazekage felt angry and amused, so he kept saying, "Don't worry! As a Kazekage, my mouth is the most reliable."
Xie didn't speak, but stepped forward and picked up the two poisonous needles that fell on the ground.
poor child……
The Third Kazekage sighed inexplicably.
Although in his eyes, Xie was just a poor boy with a noble birth but a miserable life.
Although Xie is very accomplished in puppetry, judging from his recent actions, Xie's true mental age may still be that of a child.
"...Do you want to learn magnetic escape?"
The Third Kazekage said with a smile.
"think!"
The tone was calm.
"Then you can wait for me at the training ground tomorrow!"
"good!"
Scorpion, who cherishes words like gold, turned and left after speaking.
"Really..."
The Third Kazekage shook his head and praised himself for his great achievements in taking the initiative to save the younger ninja from going astray.
It’s just that he didn’t see——
After leaving, Xie took out the two poisonous needles he had just picked up from the ground, placed them in front of his eyes and examined them carefully.
"Penetration depth 20 cm..."
Scorpion carefully recorded and summarized the traces left by the characteristic poisonous needles after use.
He used various childish methods to test the combat power and protective power of the Third Kazekage, and the effect was surprisingly good. In particular, he had a clear understanding of the Third Kazekage's reaction speed and his habitual starting ninjutsu.
As for the magnetic escape practice that starts tomorrow...
Xie snorted coldly.
Whether he can learn Magnetic Release is one thing, but understanding the characteristics of Magnetic Release and applying its restraint methods to puppets is very important!
What's more, Scorpio has an even crazier idea...
…
"Is he seeking death?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned as he reviewed the intelligence sent back by the joint anti-terrorism force.
Two days ago, a venomous snake riot suddenly appeared in the Swamp Country, which is rich in snakes.
Countless poisonous snakes emerged from various unexpected places such as jungles, swamps, rock crevices, wells and even debris piles, and launched crazy attacks on the civilians of the Swamp Kingdom.
And even the snake catchers of the Swamp Country were at a loss when facing these violent snakes - because their snake medicine suddenly lost its snake-repelling effect!
Fortunately, there was a caravan temporarily stationed in the Swamp Country to purchase live snakes. After the poisonous snake riot, the ninjas in the team actively participated in the elimination and counterattack of the poisonous snakes, and the poisonous snake riot was quelled.
Immediately, this news was transferred to the joint anti-terrorism force by the joint company, followed by the arrival of the reconnaissance ninja.
And the most important thing is that the white-eyed ninjas of the Joint Anti-Terrorism Force actually discovered a huge snake nest with chakra reaction in the swamp!
——It’s the chakra of Ryūchi Cave!
The white-eyed ninja who had participated in the Akatsuki organization's suppression campaign was very familiar with the smell of this special mixture of poisonous gas and stench.
So, while Uchiha Shiina nervously began to dispatch troops and generals immediately, the information was also sent back to Konoha.
And almost immediately after the time difference, another piece of information was reported to him with great urgency.
"The reconnaissance team directly under the Joint Anti-Terrorism Force found traces of Jiraiya in the jungle of the Country of Swamp?"
"After many rounds of close reconnaissance, it was confirmed that it is me?!"
This made Uchiha Tokko feel strange.
First Ryuji Cave, and then Jiraiya. Are these remnants of the Akatsuki organization planning to cause some trouble in the Land of Swamp?
Moreover, this series of things seems so reasonable and coincidental! Logically it's almost impossible to fault!
But if there seems to be no problem, that means there must be a big problem!
Because it's all such a coincidence.
Whether it was the snake riot, the caravan fighting to repel the snakes, or even the white-eyed ninjas of the anti-terrorist force discovering that Ryūchi Cave was arranged in the snake cave in the ninja world, it all seemed too smooth and too deliberate.
In particular, the most surprising thing was that Jiraiya could be traced by a ninja at the chuunin level.
"..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a while.
"The First Division of the Red Guards is ready for battle!"
"Inform Uchiha Shiina that the rebellious ninja Jiraiya must be sealed in the swamp within one day, and then the sealing circle will be opened!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu plans to take action personally this time!
Whether it was Jiraiya or Ryujidou who deliberately exposed the flaw and made secret preparations, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care at all.
In the past, all living beings were equal under the Tailed Beast Jade. Now, after completing the Five Release Cycle, Uchiha Tokumitsu's last shortcomings have been made up, especially the combined ninjutsu that he modified from the Five Release Great Continuous Bullets is even more powerful.
Under such circumstances, it is actually the safest thing for him to take action.
Even if he doesn't have to fight in person, as long as he is there, it is the best encouragement for the anti-terrorist troops!
Since you actively seek death...
"Then I will personally satisfy you!"
