Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

The border of the Fire Nation.

The moment the Konoha ninjas sensed the attack from the Sand Village ninjas, it was already too late.

Because Rasa's plan was to defeat the slow with the fast, the ninjas from the Sand Village did not hold back this time.

Plus the cooperation of the Sand Village intelligence personnel.

The Konoha intelligence personnel in the River Country were almost eliminated in the first encounter, and had no time to pass the intelligence to the border.

This resulted in the Konoha ninjas on the border of the Land of Fire being destroyed without any preparation.

In just a few minutes, the feet of the Sand Village ninjas were filled with the corpses of Konoha ninjas.

These corpses also show the current shortage of Konoha's combat power, because most of them are Genin, even Chunin is pitifully few, and there are even some children.

However, this was not the time to be soft-hearted, and he immediately gave the order coldly.

"Rest for ten minutes, replenish your strength, and then continue the attack as planned!"

"Hey!"

After all, they had been traveling all night and had experienced several small-scale conflicts. Now they had arrived in the territory of the Land of Fire. Some large-scale conflicts might break out next, so Rasa still gave the Sand Village ninjas some time to rest.

The ninjas of the Sand Village immediately began a short rest after receiving the order, eating something and replenishing their chakra.

Luo Sha said to an Anbu ninja beside him.

"Send a message to the village, Maki can act now!"

"Hey!"

In an instant, three ninja hawks flew up from the hands of the Anbu and flew towards the village.

Unlike Konoha, which has a profound foundation and occupied all three holy places with just summoning beasts, the Sand Village has no decent summoning beasts at all and can only transmit messages through specially trained ninja hawks.

The ten-minute rest was quickly over, and under the leadership of Rasa, the ninjas of the Sand Village immediately set off and headed deep into the dense forest.

Not long after, the patrolling Konoha ninjas also saw the scene of the battle here, and immediately reported the news to the village in shock...

----------------

In the Sand Village, the Anbu ninjas waiting at the village gate soon saw the news from the Ninja Hawk and quickly came to Maki and Ebizo.

"Minister, elders, the information about Master Kazekage has arrived!"

"Ok!"

Maki took it, looked at it, and passed it to Ebizo.

Ebizo said without even looking.

"In that case, let's get going. This is a great opportunity for our Sand Village and we can't afford to miss it!"

"Hey!"

So, all the villagers in the Sand Village saw that at the exit of the village, there were densely packed teams of ninjas, numbering thousands of people.

This shocked all the spies in the Sand Village.

"What is the Sand Village going to do? Are they going to go to war with that country directly?"

You have to know that in the current ninja world, the major countries are still in a stage of friction. Even between Konoha and Cloud Ninja, a real large-scale war has not broken out.

But the Sand Village sent out so many people at once, as if they were ready for a decisive battle.

What the hell is going on?

This confused the spies from various ninja villages!

However, not understanding the situation did not stop these spies from spreading the news. At the same time, they were determined to take this opportunity to create some trouble in the Sand Village and hinder the inexplicable actions of the Sand Village.

But at this moment, the shadows of hundreds of Sand Village ninjas appeared on various buildings in the Sand Village, and behind them stood one or two creatures that looked like humans but were not human.

"That's a puppet!"

Standing at the highest point of the building, in the center of the puppet army, Chiyo glanced coldly at the entire village. Behind her, ten puppets dressed in white stood behind her.

No matter how unhappy Chiyo is with Rasa's threats to her, her love for the village is real.

She would not allow anyone to destroy the village during this period of time.

————————————————————————

Konoha Ninja Village.

Hokage Tower.

Shortly after the Sand Village invaded the Land of Fire, Konoha also received information.

For this purpose, Konoha's elders gathered together.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in his prime, looked at the information in his hand with a headache, and glanced at the faces of each of the elders.

"Tell me, what should we do? Is the Sand Village really targeting us?"

Why do you say "as expected"?

Because of the several Ninja World Wars, the Land of Fire has always been the center of attack by other countries.

Who allowed the Fire Nation to occupy the most fertile land in the Ninja World?

Danzo's answer was direct.

"What do we do? Of course we should attack them. It's just a village called Sand Village."

"Don't say such naive words, Danzo, fight, how do you fight?"

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little angry.

What is a mere Sand Village?

If it was a year ago, Konoha would naturally have the confidence to say such things, but now, the Hidden Cloud Village has deployed troops on the border, the Hidden Iwagakure Village is eyeing it covetously, and even the Hidden Mist Village is trying to take advantage of the situation.

If one is not handled properly, the four major ninja villages may attack at the same time.

Utane Koharu said coldly.

"It's different, Hiruzen. No matter how hostile the Cloud Village, the Iwagakure Village, and the Mist Village are to us, they only provoke us at the border. But now the Sand Village has already fought into the territory of the Land of Fire. This has a different meaning."

Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly understood, he sighed and said.

"But there aren't many ninjas left in the village right now."

Mitomon En, who was wearing glasses, gave his own suggestions.

"We definitely cannot move the troops from the Hidden Cloud Village. So, we can only temporarily withdraw part of the troops from the border of the Hidden Cloud Village. Together with the ninjas in the village, that should be enough."

"That's a good idea. Who will lead the team this time?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

This should have been an unquestionable answer.

Although Jiraiya is not in the village for the so-called collection of materials, Orochimaru is still there. Letting Orochimaru go into battle directly is the best option, but at this moment, the elders gave a different opinion.

"Pull Minato back from the front line and let Orochimaru take over!"

Danzo said it was a suggestion, but there was a tone of command in his voice.

This was obviously a waste of time. Although Minato and Orochimaru could return to the village very quickly, the trip back and forth would still waste a lot of time. However, the elders still made such a decision.

The reason is very simple. After the Second Ninja World War, Orochimaru's reputation in Konoha Village was too high.

Danzo never gave up his dream of becoming Hokage.

How could he allow Orochimaru's reputation to continue to rise, not to mention that Orochimaru had the support of Jiraiya and Tsunade. But Minato was different. As a commoner, he would never become an obstacle for Danzo to become Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally understood his good friend's plan, but his problem was that he was too soft-hearted.

In addition, the other two elders had the same idea as Danzo.

Although they have no intention of becoming Hokage, they will not support Orochimaru becoming Hokage.

Because, with the ambition shown by Orochimaru, if Orochimaru becomes Hokage, then the rights of their Council of Elders will definitely be deprived by Orochimaru.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Anyway, for the Konoha Village, the interests of the village are the top priority. The Land of Fire is so big that it is not easy for the Sand Village to attack. They can still afford to wait for this period of time.

So, Luo Sha discovered something very strange along the way. The ninjas from the Sand Village advanced straight into the village without encountering any decent resistance...
