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

Fire Country, on the edge of a vast forest called Yoshino River.

As night approached, the Sand Village ninjas arrived here according to Rasa's plan.

Looking into the distance, the forest had disappeared, replaced by an endless vast plain.

This was where Rasa planned to resist the Leaf Village ninjas for the next seven days.

Because for the Sand Village ninjas, most of them were good at Wind Release, and the natural cover of the forest would greatly reduce the power of Wind Release, but a plain like this was different.

"Alright, we have reached our destination. Sensory ninjas are responsible for monitoring the surroundings, and the others will set up camp, make a fire, cook, and rest well. There will be a tough battle to fight in the next few days!"

All the ninjas immediately moved.

They began to gather materials from the forest on the spot to set up camp.

As for food, everyone only brought enough soldier pills to last for seven days.

Because Rasa had decided on a quick-attack strategy, everyone did not carry much baggage this time, and the storage scrolls they carried with them were all weapons.

Fortunately, this was a forest with many wild animals and no shortage of water.

Soon, under the cover of the forest, camps were set up along the Yoshino River forest, and the aroma of food wafted from the camps.

In the center of the camp, in the tent representing the Kazekage, Rasa, Yekura, and Mikawa gathered here. In addition, there was also an Anbu ninja named Yura, who was sent by Maki to be at Rasa's disposal.

As soon as everyone sat down, Mikawa said.

"The Leaf Village ninjas seem to be a little slow to react. Even now, our people have not detected any movement from the Leaf Village ninjas."

Rasa's plan naturally took into full account the distance between the two countries and the speed at which both sides were traveling.

According to everyone's judgment, the Sand Village's invasion of the Fire Country would definitely not be concealed from the Leaf Village for long.

Judging from the speed at which the Leaf Village sent out ninjas after receiving the information, the Leaf Village ninjas should not be too far away when the Sand Village arrived here, but now, they have not received any news.

This was indeed a bit puzzling.

Rasa glanced at Yura and asked.

"Does Anbu have any information?"

Yura nodded and said.

"Reporting to Lord Kazekage, our intelligence personnel in the Leaf Village have discovered that the Leaf Village is conscripting ninjas, but strangely, when the news came, they did not see a large number of Leaf Village ninjas leaving the Leaf Village."

This made everyone in the camp even more puzzled.

Rasa also couldn't figure it out, but he understood what his purpose was and said.

"Isn't this a good thing for us? Our Sand Village is not here to fight to the death with the Leaf Village this time. The slower they are, the greater our chances of success in the end!"

This made Yekura and Mikawa nod their heads in excitement.

Rasa then continued to ask.

"Where are Maki and Elder Ebizo?"

Yura replied excitedly.

"Just received intelligence that the Minister and the Elder have dispersed and infiltrated the border of the Fire Country under the cover of night. At the same time, the ninjas we arranged in these fourteen cities have also begun to act."

"Not bad, at least everything is going smoothly so far!"

After praising, Rasa also looked at Yekura and Mikawa.

"This time it concerns the future of our Sand Village. As long as we succeed, we will be able to get rid of the control of the daimyo in a short period of time, and our village will be able to take a big step forward!"

"Yes!"

The two nodded, rationally not expressing any objections.

"Alright, since the people of the Leaf Village have given us time, then let's not waste it. Everyone, go back and rest well and wait for tomorrow's battle!"

Leaf Village Ninja Village.

Under the night.

Minato Namikaze hurried back to Konoha, accompanied by his three partners, Shibi Aburame, Choza Akimichi, and Kiba Inuzuka.

At this time, although Minato Namikaze had already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was still unable to achieve the speed of using the Flying Thunder God to travel in the later stages due to his unfamiliarity with the use and the consumption of chakra.

In the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the elders simply issued orders to Minato Namikaze.

"I understand, Lord Hokage, I will set off now!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Minato Namikaze's dusty appearance and asked.

"Why don't you take a break, Minato, and go see Kushina and Kakashi!"

Minato thought for a while, his eyes flickered slightly, but he still shook his head.

"No need, Lord Hokage. Since the Sand Village dares to invade the Fire Country, as a member of the village, I have an obligation to drive them out of the Fire Country."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Minato. I have also asked someone to contact Jiraiya. He will also go to support you soon."

"That's great, that way I will be much more confident!"

After Minato left, he came to the entrance of the village.

The ninja responsible for leading the team this time had already been waiting here. It was also Minato's good friend, Choji Akimichi's clansman: Todo Akimichi.

"It's you, Todo, long time no see!"

"Yes, Minato, and Brother Choza, we can finally fight together again!"

"Yes!"

Minato nodded.

"Then let's set off, Todo, tell me the specific information on the way!"

Under Minato's leadership, nearly five hundred Leaf Village ninjas left the Leaf Village one after another and attacked in the direction of the Sand Village.

In the dark dense forest, Todo Akimichi also told Minato and the others about the Sand Village's information this time.

"This time the Sand Village's invasion is very strange?"

"Strange! ?"

This caused Minato Namikaze and the others to look sideways.

"That's right, according to the information from our intelligence personnel in the Sand Village, the Sand Village's action is very strange. Our people did not see any large-scale mobilization of supplies in the Sand Village."

This stunned everyone, because as far as wars are concerned, even ninjas cannot avoid the rule that the army's food and fodder go first. Whether it is food, weapons, or medicine, they are huge consumables on the battlefield.

"That is to say, the Sand Village does not intend to fight us for too long!"

"This is the strange thing, because although there was no large-scale mobilization of supplies, our people saw that the Sand Village dispatched at least more than two thousand ninjas this time!"

"! ! !"

"What?"

This number shocked everyone.

You must know that according to Konoha's understanding of the Sand Village, the total number of ninjas in the Sand Village in recent years is probably this number.

"There is no mobilization of supplies, but so many ninjas have been dispatched. What exactly is the Sand Village doing?"

Shibi Aburame, wearing sunglasses, looked thoughtful.

"This is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that, according to the news from our intelligence personnel, the number of Sand Village ninjas currently appearing in our Fire Country is only more than three hundred..."

Now everyone was even more puzzled.

"Hey, the Sand Village wouldn't be crazy and want to start a war with the Cloud and Rock Villages, would they?"

Kiba Inuzuka, riding a ninja dog, roared incredulously.

Minato Namikaze thought for a while and said with a thoughtful expression.

"If this is the case, then it would be a good thing for our Konoha, but is the Sand Village really that irrational?"
