Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

Land of Fire, border.

The moment Konoha's ninjas sensed the approaching Sand Village ninjas, it was already too late.

Because Rasa's plan was to use speed to overcome slowness, the Sand Village ninjas held nothing back this time.

In addition to the cooperation of the Sand Village's intelligence personnel.

The Konoha intelligence personnel within the Land of Rivers were almost all eliminated in a single encounter, leaving them no time to transmit intelligence to the border.

This resulted in the Konoha ninjas at the Land of Fire's border being annihilated without any preparation.

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

From these corpses, one could also see the current shortage of Konoha's combat power, as the vast majority were genin, with even chunin being pitifully few, and there were even some children.

However, this was not the time for womanly kindness, and he immediately issued a cold order.

"Rest for ten minutes, replenish your stamina, and then continue the attack according to the original plan!"

"Yes!"

After all, they had traveled all night and experienced several small-scale conflicts. Now that they had reached the Land of Fire, there might be some large-scale conflicts breaking out next. Rasa still gave the Sand Village ninjas time to rest.

The Sand Village ninjas, upon receiving the order, immediately began a brief rest, eating something while also replenishing their chakra.

Rasa then said to a ninja from the Anbu by his side.

"Send a message to the village, Maki can move!"

"Yes!"

Instantly, three ninja hawks soared from the Anbu's hands, flying towards the village.

Unlike Konoha's deep foundation, which occupied all three great sacred lands with just summoning beasts, the Sand Village had no decent summoning beasts at all and could only rely on specially trained ninja hawks to transmit messages.

The ten-minute rest quickly ended. Under Rasa's leadership, the Sand Village ninjas immediately set off, advancing deep into the dense forest.

Not long after, the Konoha ninjas who came to patrol also saw the scene of the battle here and immediately sent a message to the village in great shock...

Sand Village, the Anbu ninjas guarding the village entrance quickly saw the message from the ninja hawk and quickly came to Maki and Ebizo.

"Minister, Elder, the Kazekage-sama's intelligence has arrived!"

"Hmm!"

Maki took it and passed it to Ebizo.

Ebizo said without even looking at it.

"Since that's the case, then let's set off. This is an excellent opportunity for our Sand Village, and we can't afford to lose it!"

"Yes!"

Thus, all the villagers of the entire Sand Village saw the dense ranks of ninja teams at the village's exit, numbering as many as several thousand.

This shocked the spies in the Sand Village.

"What is the Sand Village trying to do? Could it be that they are going to directly start a war with that country?"

You must know that the ninja world is currently in a stage of friction between the major countries. Even between Konoha and Cloud Village, there has not been a truly large-scale war.

But the Sand Village has suddenly mobilized so many people, looking like they are going to fight a decisive battle.

What exactly is going on?

This confused the spies of the various ninja villages!

However, not understanding did not prevent these spies from sending out the news. At the same time, they also made up their minds to take advantage of this opportunity to create some chaos in the Sand Village and hinder this inexplicable action of the Sand Village.

But just then, hundreds of Sand Village ninjas appeared on the various buildings of the Sand Village. Behind them stood one or two creatures that were neither human nor non-human.

"Those are puppets!"

Chiyo, standing at the highest point of the building, in the very center of the puppet troop, coldly scanned the entire village. Behind her, ten puppets dressed in white stood.

No matter how dissatisfied Chiyo was with Rasa's threat to her, Chiyo's love for the village was real.

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

Konoha Ninja Village.

Hokage Building.

Not long after the Sand Village invaded the Land of Fire, Konoha also received intelligence.

For this reason, Konoha's elders gathered together.

The middle-aged Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the intelligence in his hand with some headache, his eyes sweeping across the faces of each of the elders.

"Speak, what should we do? The Sand Village's target is indeed us?"

Why say indeed?

Because in the past few ninja world wars, the Land of Fire has always been the center of attack by the other countries.

Who made the Land of Fire occupy the most fertile land in the ninja world.

Danzo's answer was very direct.

"What what should we do? Of course, we should fight back. It's just the Sand Village."

"Don't say such naive things, Danzo. Fight, how do we fight?"

This made Hiruzen Sarutobi somewhat angry.

What do you mean just the Sand Village?

If it were a year ago, Konoha would naturally have the confidence to say such a thing, but now, Cloud Village is deploying troops on the border, Rock Village is eyeing them covetously, and even Mist Village has the intention of muddying the waters.

If not handled properly, they might face simultaneous attacks from the four major ninja villages.

Koharu Utatane said coldly.

"It's different, Hiruzen. No matter how Cloud Village, Rock Village, and Mist Village are hostile to us, they are only provoking us on the border, but now the Sand Village has already hit the Land of Fire, the significance is different."

Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly understood, he sighed and said.

"But now there are not many ninjas in the village that can be mobilized."

Homura Mitokado, wearing glasses, gave his own suggestion.

"We certainly can't move the troops on the Cloud Village side. Then, we can only temporarily withdraw some of the troops from the Rock Village border, plus the ninjas in the village, that should be enough."

"That's a good idea, then who will lead the team this time?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

This should have been an unquestionable answer.

Although Jiraiya is currently not in the village because of his so-called research, Orochimaru is still there. It would be the best choice to directly let Orochimaru go into battle, but the elders gave a different opinion at this moment.

"Bring Minato back from the front line and let Orochimaru take his place!"

Danzo's words were a suggestion, but there was a hint of command in his tone.

This was clearly a very time-consuming behavior. Although Minato and Orochimaru would be able to return to the village quickly, this back and forth would still delay a lot of time, but 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 has never given up his dream of becoming Hokage.

How could he allow Orochimaru's reputation to continue to rise, not to mention that Orochimaru also has the support of Jiraiya and Tsunade, but Minato is different. Born as a commoner, he will never become an obstacle to Danzo's becoming Hokage.

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

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

Although they did not intend to become Hokage, they would not support Orochimaru becoming Hokage either.

Because, with the ambition that Orochimaru has shown, if Orochimaru becomes Hokage, then the power of their elders will inevitably be stripped away by Orochimaru.

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

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

Thus, Rasa found a very strange thing along the way. The Sand Village ninjas went straight in all the way, but they did not encounter any decent resistance...
