Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

Somewhere in the land of birds.

In the dense forest, a group of ninjas dressed in Konoha Anbu uniforms are hiding here, seemingly waiting for something.

However, after an hour, the expected target did not appear.

Three figures slowly walked out from the shadows of the trees.

"Orochimaru, it seems that your plan has failed?"

Orochimaru, who was wearing a black robe that completely hid his figure, said this without showing any sign of loss due to failure.

"Isn't this natural? Elder Danzo, you are the Kazekage after all. It would be strange if you didn't even have this little bit of caution... It would just be a waste of those experimental materials..."

Danzo, with his face half covered, had a gloomy expression.

"If we don't find out from this Kazekage who leaked the secret of the Root, Orochimaru, you and I will not be able to sleep or eat..."

Unfortunately, Orochimaru didn't take it seriously at all.

At this moment, a Root ninja appeared in front of Danzo and reported.

"Master Danzo, the battle ahead is over..."

"what's the situation?"

"Sorry... I'm sorry, we didn't dare to get too close to know the specific process, but the Kazekage of the Sand Village has left. We explored the place and it seems that all the ninjas of the Iburi clan are dead..."

Danzo frowned slightly, but Orochimaru said with a hint of interest on his face.

"Interesting. The Iburi clan's smoke transformation technique is a very powerful technique for escaping, but not a single one of them escaped... The Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village is really interesting..."

The Root Ninja reported.

"Reporting to Lord Orochimaru, we saw that the Kazekage seemed to have trapped all the ninjas of the Iburi clan with a barrier."

"Boundary?"

Orochimaru looked like he was thinking.

Danzo said without paying any attention.

"Forget it, since the mission has failed, let's retreat. I still have a lot of things to deal with in the village..."

As the Root ninjas evacuated one by one, Orochimaru had no choice but to follow.

However, at this moment, he seemed to realize something and looked up at the sky.

All I saw was a huge eyeball floating in the sky.

"interesting..."

But he said nothing, just followed Danzo away with a mysterious smile on his face...

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

Eye of Sand!

One of the many sand control techniques developed by the Nidaime Kazekage.

This is actually another application of transformation.

A ninjutsu that transforms condensed sand into eyeballs and connects them to the field of vision of the main body's eyes to perform long-distance reconnaissance.

By changing the size of the eyeball, the Eye of Sand can observe movements up to ten kilometers away.

It’s a pity that I don’t have the ability of perspective, so I can only observe some obviously moving objects, and I can only see their general appearance.

But, it’s enough!

"Humph! It's these two guys!"

Although one can only see their general appearance, the attire of Danzo and Orochimaru is so distinctive that one can identify them without having to see too clearly.

Ye Cang asked when he saw this.

"Is he from Konoha?"

"Yeah, Danzo and Orochimaru from the Root of Konoha!"

These two names surprised the three people present.

Danzo was the murderer designated by Rasa to kill the Third Kazekage, and Orochimaru was one of the legendary Three Ninjas.

"Then what do we do now?"

Ye Cang asked through gritted teeth.

Konoha actually dared to assassinate Rasa, the Kazekage of their Sand Village. This was a huge provocation to their Sand Village.

Luo Sha was naturally very unhappy at this time. He wanted to kill them and chop off the heads of these two guys, but he still endured it.

"It would be foolish to rush in knowing it's a trap! However, we can't just let this matter go. I was still wondering if I had any excuse to declare war on Konoha, and now Konoha has offered itself to me."

After saying that, he looked at Maki and gave orders.

"Maki, immediately, in my name, using this assassination incident, on behalf of the Sand Village, formally declare war on Konoha! Tell all the ninjas in the village that this action is different from the last one, we will make Konoha pay with blood!"

"Hey!"

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

The news that Konoha's elder Danzo and one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, had failed to assassinate the Kazekage of the Sand Village in the Land of Birds, and with the help of the Sand Village, they formally declared war on Konoha, and the news spread throughout the ninja world.

After confirming the news was correct, the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Iwagakure Village were naturally ecstatic.

They were worried that the Sand Village would not contribute enough in the attack on Konoha, but now they don't have to worry at all, because assassinating the Kage of a village is the most serious diplomatic provocation in any country.

The reaction of the Sand Village also disappointed them.

After the official declaration of war, the advance force of the Sand Village began to assemble rapidly, crossing the River Country and attacking the border of the Fire Country.

Moreover, it was completely different from the last sneak attack.

This time, the Sand Village is clearly serious.

Because after the advance troops, countless logistics teams left the Sand Village.

This means that the Sand Village is not just trying to take advantage of the situation this time, but really wants to fight a protracted war with Konoha.

As for when the main force will be deployed next, it depends on when the cooperation between the three countries is actually signed.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwa Village also know about the Hidden Sand Village's plan.

In order to seize this opportunity of favorable timing, location and people and defeat Konoha in one fell swoop, they also quickly urged the three parties to reach a cooperation.

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

After receiving the formal declaration of war from the Sand Village, the atmosphere within Konoha became depressing.

Danzo's actions were certainly his own initiative, but at this point, the village could no longer blame Danzo.

Firstly, it is for the unity within the village, and secondly, it is inevitable that the Sand Village will join this war.

And Danzo also has his own reasons, he did this entirely for Konoha.

If he could successfully assassinate the Fourth Kazekage, he could take advantage of the civil strife in the Sand Village and prevent the village from joining the war.

But it's obviously useless to say this now.

The participation of Sand Village in the war is a foregone conclusion.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwa Village did not miss this opportunity and began to mobilize troops on a large scale along the border, as if preparing for a decisive battle.

Upon seeing this, Danzo finally took the opportunity to reveal his true purpose.

"It's time to let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki join the battle! With the power of the Nine-Tails, it will definitely change the current situation in Konoha!"

Minato naturally strongly opposed it.

But given the current situation, it seems that the best option is for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to join the battle.

So, the Konoha’s top leaders also started arguing at this moment.

While the Konoha high-level officials were arguing, Luo Sha returned to the Sand Village and heard incredible news about the sacred tree he had planted...
