An hour after the scorpion left.

The hospital doctor heard a sharp explosion during his routine ward rounds.

Soon, the top leaders of the Sand Village learned about the mysterious disappearance of the Third Kazekage.

Orders came one after another from the mouths of these high-level officials, mobilizing all the ninjas in the village to search for the trace of the Third Kazekage.

But the results were all in vain, and no one in the entire Sand Village had ever seen the Third Kazekage.

That’s strange, where did the Third Kazekage go?

At this time, all the high-ranking officials of the Sand Village were looking for the answer to this question.

No, where is my grandson?

Only Chiyo, while wondering about the whereabouts of the Kazekage, was still worried about her "cute" grandson.

The Sand Village leaders who were lost did not believe that their own Kazekage had met with a murderous attack and thought that the other party had simply gone out for a stroll, and then forced an explanation.

"That's the most powerful Kazekage, and he's always surrounded by experts protecting him."

"Even the puppet master in the village, second only to Advisor Chiyo, is protecting him. How could he be attacked and abducted by outsiders?"

In the meeting room, the top leaders of the Sand Village were discussing endlessly.

"Even if he was really attacked, he wouldn't die immediately."

"Perhaps Lord Kazekage is seriously injured and is hiding somewhere waiting for our support?"

A senior executive offered his own opinion.

Three hours had passed when we learned that the Sandai Kazekage had mysteriously disappeared in the hospital.

During this period of time, the Sand Ninjas have searched all places around the Sand Village, but have not found any clues.

Because the Third Kazekage was in the hospital, they had to leave one guard behind and take turns every twelve hours, which meant that these people had no idea what was happening during the process.

You can only imagine things in your own mind, which leads to a deviation from reality.

Therefore, they could only look in the dark, holding on to a glimmer of hope, and continuously expanding their search range.

"Oh... forget it, just expand the search area!"

A senior executive said this and looked at Chiyo with hope.

As the most prestigious senior figure in the Sand Village today, it can be said that after the Kazekage left, she is the actual leader of the Sand Village.

"That's all we have to do."

After hesitating for a moment, although she knew that such actions would inevitably be known to other villages, when she thought about her own grandson who was also missing, Chiyo finally agreed.

After getting approval, the other senior executives immediately began to assign tasks.

Order all ninjas performing missions below A-rank to cease actions and join the search for the Third Kazekage.

Another week passed, and they didn't even find a single hair of the Third Kazekage, let alone the Third Kazekage.

The Sand Village's higher-ups, who were already a little overwhelmed, expanded the search range again without regard for the consequences.

What? There aren't enough ninjas in the village?

Then we should call back some ninjas from the border to join the search.

As a result of this action, not only Konoha Village, but even the distant Kirigakure Village learned the news.

"Oh? The Third Kazekage is missing."

Looking at the information in his hands, Danzo knew that it was most likely Sasori who killed him.

In the original anime, it was the blind search of the Sand Village that made the Cloud Village think they had an opportunity.

Only then did he sneak away from thousands of miles away to launch a surprise attack, starting the Third Ninja World War.

I just don't know if they, after being won over by Ōnoki, will still be like the original story.

Throwing the information in his hand back on the table, Danzo sat in the chair in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

……

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

Ōnoki's frown has never relaxed since the disappearance of the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.

They had already successfully won over the Takigakure Village and reached a secret agreement with the Kumogakure Village and the Kirigakure Village.

A few days ago, we even received a hint from the Sand Village that they were willing to cooperate with the Iwagakure Village to attack the Konoha Village.

As a result, the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village mysteriously disappeared in his own village hospital for some unknown reason.

What the hell? The tailed beast Jinchuriki disappeared mysteriously, why is he like this?

This made Ohnoki a little upset. According to his subordinates, the Sand Village was currently searching for information about the Third Kazekage.

Let him put a cross on his plan of a coalition of the four major ninja villages.

Me? I’m really convinced.

Cursing inwardly, Ohnoki began to rethink his plan.

As a Tsuchikage whose political skills were comparable to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and even slightly superior to his, Ōnoki quickly came up with a new war plan.

It would be better to let the Hidden Cloud Village confront the Konoha Village head-on first, and let the reckless man Sanleizi test the strength of the Konoha Village.

It just so happens that this guy has been sending secret letters to us recently, urging us to start attacking Konoha Village.

This is also a good opportunity for me to properly assess the combat effectiveness of Konoha Village.

All he needed to do was to keep his troops in place, and when the Hidden Cloud Village gained the upper hand, it would attack the Konoha Village.

If Konoha Village has the upper hand, then it could switch sides and seize the land of the Land of Lightning.

What the hell are the four major ninja villages? From the very beginning, this was all Ohnoki's empty trap, a cover to paralyze everyone.

Soon, Ōnoki's handwritten letter was delivered to the Third Raikage.

At this time, the Third Raikage did not read Oonoki's secret letter immediately.

Although he has been talking a lot recently, clamoring to destroy Konoha Village.

But the real purpose of the Third Raikage was actually to cover up the mysterious disappearance of his own Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

There was no way. Their village had the most tailed beasts in the entire ninja world, and now they were all lost.

What would happen if other ninja villages found out about this?

Although there have been many minor frictions with Konoha Village on the border recently, the Third Raikage has not given the order to the troops to go to war.

All of this was just to encourage Ōnoki and let the Iwagakure Village test the strength of the Konoha Village first.

Even the Third Raikage, the Sixth Old Man, secretly transferred back the border troops that were in conflict with Konoha Village.

However, Hyuga Genma, who was in charge of Konoha Village on the border, was obviously unaware of this.

He is still doing his best to organize the defense and strictly abides by Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders, always on guard against the Hidden Cloud Village.

"What? Has the border defense of the Sand Village been relaxed to this extent?"

The Third Raikage looked at the sand table, constantly calculating something in his mind.

"Yeah, that's right."

"The Sand Village is now focusing all its efforts on searching for the mysteriously missing Third Kazekage of their family, and has no time to take care of the defense of the border."

Dodai, who had just returned from gathering intelligence in the Sand Village, said this, pointing to several fortresses on the border of the Sand Village.

"Yoshi... this is a good opportunity."

San Leizi nodded.

The Hidden Cloud Village has a very strong desire for land. Since its establishment, the village has been in a state of crazy expansion.

The neighboring villages around him have all been invaded by them to varying degrees.

Therefore, even though he knew that the Sand Village was just a barren piece of land, Sanleizi still coveted it.

"But Onoki's side..."

Tutai seemed to be hesitant to talk.

"Aren't we all ready to unite the four great ninja villages..."

"Hmph, leave that old guy alone."

With his hands behind his back, San Lei Zi took a few steps back and said with disdain.

"The alliance of the four major ninja villages? What a joke, it's just a verbal cover. Anyone who really takes it seriously is a real fool, hahahahahahaha."

"Listen to my Tutai and give me the order immediately."

"Mobilize the troops immediately. Gather 4... oh no, 7000 ninjas. Follow me to raid the Sand Village!"

Upon hearing the order from his own Third Raikage, Dodai looked embarrassed.

7000 ninjas? How about their food? They also need to attack the Sand Village in the southwest from the northeast.

In between are several other countries, including the Land of Earth, the Land of Iron, the Land of the Moon, the Land of Grass, etc.

Moreover, since the Land of Grass is actually controlled by Konoha Village, it means that the Hidden Cloud Village can only pass through the Land of Earth.

If Ōnoki launches an attack, won’t all of them be trapped and die in the Land of Earth?

Moreover, with so many of his people passing through their territory, would Ohnoki think that the Cloud Village was actually using the guise of attacking the Sand Village to launch a sneak attack on their Iwagakure Village?

Besides, would Onoki agree to borrow the road? Would he? Would he? Hmm?

However, San Lei Zi seemed to be blind. He did not notice Tu Tai's ugly expression at all and continued to issue various orders on his own.

The whole person is very excited, it can be seen that this guy really likes to fight...

Oh, I hope everything goes well.

Looking at San Lei Zi's excited state, Tu Tai could only pray in his heart that the operation would go smoothly.
