From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 103: Conquest and Defeat (5k)

"The enemy is ashamed, I'm going to take off her clothes!"

As soon as Sawara Kiri rushed into the Sand Village, he immediately rushed to the top of the Kazekage Building, the highest point in the entire Sand Village, and announced his victory loudly.

Almost at the moment when these waves of sound swept across the entire Sand Village like a storm, all the people who were fighting, whether on the Konoha side or the Sand Village side, were stunned.

Gradually, two completely opposite expressions appeared on the faces of the two groups of people.

Shock and excitement mixed in the night.

After the earth-shattering battle just now, how could anyone not know what the current situation is?
After just a moment's pause, all the surviving Konoha ninjas were filled with fighting spirit and excited expressions. Shouts of killing that were countless times more intense than the previous second suddenly broke out from these mere hundreds of people, and like sharp knives, they pierced into the Sand Village ninjas who were besieging them.

Kunai, shurikens, and all kinds of ninjutsu seemed to explode in the village at once, making a series of roars and collisions.

On the other hand, the Sand Village ninjas seemed to have lost their will to fight all of a sudden. Even those who were fighting almost subconsciously looked at the figure standing on the top of the Kazekage Building from time to time.

The Kazekage Building, which originally symbolized the glory of all Sand Village ninjas, and even the most honorable title of "Kazekage", seemed to be trampled under the feet of that unknown man at this moment.

However, no one dared to raise the slightest thought of resisting him.

As said before.

Precisely because powerful ninjas have the qualifications to make the final decision, all ninjas have an almost blind admiration for the strong men in their village.

However, when after showing its strength to the fullest, if one is still suppressed by another strong man, then this once blind worship will also turn into an intense fear like a headless fly without any conditions attached. Many ninjas who are usually firm and calm and not afraid of even death will even lose their fighting spirit involuntarily after just hearing the names of those strong men.

The major ninja villages in the past have repeatedly announced that when they encounter Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, they can unconditionally abandon their missions and escape. This is the reason.

No village is willing to let one of their ninjas die in vain.

Now, the same is true.

Even though the Sand Village ninjas only stood far away and watched the battle for a while tonight, the oppressive feeling brought by the One-Tail Shukaku was unquestionable.

A Konoha ninja who could defeat that kind of monster is undoubtedly a monster.

After thinking about this, it was unknown who took the lead, but the Sand Village Ninja Brigade, which had just launched a charge towards the Konoha Ninjas, suddenly began to flee without any warning.

At the beginning, there were only a few people fleeing, and later on even small groups broke away from the main force, until finally, except for the people in the front row who had already fought with the Konoha ninjas, the entire rear force was like dandelions blown by the wind, scattered in a pool.

On the other hand, the Konoha ninjas are all becoming more and more courageous at this moment.

The vague figure of Sawara Kiri standing on top of the Kazekage Building was like a pillar on the spiritual level, supporting them as they continued to fight bravely and move forward.

Until finally, teams of Konoha ninjas fought their way through the thin line of resistance of Sunagakure.

Cheers filled with countless emotions came from the mouths of these Konoha ninjas who believed they would die but were ultimately spared.

The sound became louder as it went on.

On the other hand, the Sand Village ninjas were all like stray dogs, fleeing in panic from the village where they were born and raised.

In that sparse and scattered crowd, one could even faintly hear cries of grief and anger.

Sawara Kiri just stood on the Kazekage Building, watching the scene quietly.

Of course, he had the ability to chase down these Sand Ninjas one by one and kill them all.

But if he did that, he would not be able to decide how many of the remaining Konoha ninjas would be killed by the desperate Sand Village ninjas who had been aroused to resist before he killed everyone.

Even though the Konoha ninjas now look extremely brave, they are actually just taking advantage of the fact that the Sand Village ninjas have no desire to fight. Most of them have already been exhausted and are relying solely on their last breath to keep rushing forward. If someone comes and gives them a push, they can be crushed to death here.

What's more, let alone Sawara Kiri, even Namikaze Minato could sense that the Sand Village ninjas who were still staying in the village to block them were just a group of abandoned pawns and cannon fodder. Most of them were probably only at the middle and lower level of ninja. Except for the three people who intercepted Sakumo teacher, there was no real strong one.

"It should have been transferred, right?"

Namikaze Minato stood beside him, sensing quietly.

He frowned and turned his head: "Mist, can your 'that' find those hidden people?"

"I only have a bloodline limit, not the Sage of Six Paths." Sahara Kiri said jokingly in a relaxed tone, "What's more, judging from their arrangements in the Sand Village, the core figures and confidential information have probably been moved away by those Kazekage advisors, right?"

"I have not been able to find the advisor Chiyo who once fought against Lady Tsunade in the battlefield."

"I wanted to kill her at first."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato nodded in agreement: "To cut the grass, you have to remove its roots."

I wonder if the Jinchūriki is afraid of poison.

He was a little worried.

"Okay, don't think too much."

Sahara Kiri patted his shoulder and pointed at the Kazekage Building below: "I've checked it out just now. There are still a lot of detonating talismans buried at the bottom of this building. There are also some books left in the office. They should be used to lure us in. Be careful when you ask people to dismantle them later, so as not to detonate them."

"okay."

Namikaze Minato agreed subconsciously, then suddenly turned to look at him, puzzled: "What about you, Kiri-kun?"

"Of course I went to rest."

Sawara Kiri said as if it was a matter of course: "It's so cold on the rooftop in the middle of the night. Besides, I was seriously injured when I fought Shukaku just now. Guuuu!"

He covered his chest and suddenly acted as if he was seriously injured and could not be cured.

Minato looked at him with a subtle look and gave him a kind smile.

"Yes Yes."

"Mist-kun, you've worked really hard."

"What's with that motherly tone?"

While the two were fighting and playing, the Konoha ninjas below had already started celebrating. Many of them couldn't help but laugh and cry as they watched the Sand Village ninjas fleeing into the distance.

The legion has a total of 3,000 people, but after fighting for so long, they can't even gather 300 people.

Along the way, their sacrifices and dedication cannot be ignored by anyone.

However, soon, everyone changed their mindset under the advice of the senior ninjas, and began to run to several important facilities in the Sand Village under the leadership of the reconnaissance ninjas, intending to take away some spoils before leaving.

There is no doubt that this group of people will be the first to achieve merit in the entire battlefield of the Wind Country.

As for Lord Sawara Kiri, he is the first among the first.

Although his performance at the moment was not so obvious, everyone saw the battle with the One-Tailed Shukaku Jinchuriki just now.

They already had a deep enough understanding of the capabilities of the young man who was previously unknown and was even regarded by many as someone who relied on his lower body skills to rise to the top from Lady Tsunade.

The reason they survived was all thanks to Lord Sawara's hard work!
These people will be the most staunch supporters of the Sawara Kiri faction in the future. No, now they are still the most staunch supporters of the Hatake Sakumo faction.

Sawara Kiri himself may not have this political sensitivity yet, but Hatake Sakumo, who has seen the expressions of the people around him change at a speed visible to the naked eye, has already deeply realized this.

"It's amazing."

Hatake Sakumo muttered this in his heart, then smiled and shook his head, not really caring about it.

"Hey! Who's that over there?"

"Come and help out at the Fengying Building! Remember to sort the confidential documents and take them away!"

"Yes--"

However, compared to the excitement of Konoha, the Sand Village side seemed gloomy.

In a sand dune valley in the distance that was used to temporarily accommodate the wounded, many people gradually withdrew from the Sand Village according to the planned failure plan. No, it would be more accurate to say that they were fleeing rather than withdrawing.

Of the thousands of ninjas that were supposed to guard the village, three or four of them disappeared in the vast desert, disappearing without notice.

Some of them were completely demoralized because their beloved villages had been conquered;
Others saw through the bleak future that Sunagakure was about to face, and instead of continuing to stay in this village that was almost certain to fail and would have to bear a heavy burden after the war, they decided to form their own team and go out to try their luck.

With people's hearts in turmoil, it will not be surprising to make any decisions.

Even when filled with negative emotions such as the death of a companion, the broken family, and the passing of a loved one, many people have a drastic change of mood and suddenly become manic and attack their companions around them. If they are not careful, a big melee like wild beasts will break out.

The spirit that was as taut as a string and could collapse at any time made everyone feel particularly depressed.

"Crack, crackle, crackle."

Next to the bonfire in the center of the crowd, the burning camel dung emitted a flame that barely gave people a sense of warmth in the cold desert night.

Advisor Chiyo, who was organizing the evacuation of the village, just learned that his son and daughter-in-law had died at the hands of Konoha White Fang.

However, the successive failures and bad news had already brought her mood to the bottom.

Even she, the current top leader of the Sand Village, almost couldn't help but have the negative thought of "I shouldn't be a ninja anymore".

"Where did Scorpion go?"

Just as Chiyo was immersed in the death of her children, she seemed to suddenly notice something and abruptly raised her head to look around.

The ninja beside him whispered, "Master Chiyo, Master Scorpion just went towards the top of the mountain."

Chiyo was startled when he heard this.

At the top of the mountain, two figures were swinging their legs, sitting quietly on the edge of the cliff, looking towards the direction of the village from dozens of kilometers away.

As soon as Scorpion walked here, he noticed this scene and his expression froze.

Originally, he wanted to find a quiet place after hearing the news of his parents' death.

But all around were people who had lost various loved ones, sitting scattered everywhere, and even the depressed emotions mixed in with them didn't seem so noticeable.

Almost subconsciously, he wanted to find a quiet place to be alone.

But I didn't expect that there was already someone there.

"Lord Garura?"

As the grandson of Chiyo, Scorpion, who is already ten years old this year, naturally knows Garuru, the direct disciple of the Third Kazekage.

But, the person sitting next to her is.?

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice behind her, Jialuo turned her head subconsciously, and the man next to her also turned his head 180 degrees.

Scorpion's expression froze.

He also recognized the other man's appearance.

That was another disciple of the Third Kazekage, and a genius who was known as 'Gold Sand' in the village at a young age, Luo Sha.

However, now he has become a puppet accompanying Jialuo.

Seeing this, even Scorpion was stunned.

Was Lord Garuro so sad that he actually made his lover's corpse into a puppet?

You this
Isn’t that a bit extreme?

"It's a scorpion."

When Jialuo Luo saw that it was an acquaintance, he was too lazy to show any emotion on his already pale face. He turned his head quietly and ignored him.

All the events that happened tonight, as well as the blow of being forced to flee from the village, made Scorpion much stronger when facing the death of his parents.

His heart felt empty and he wanted to put something in it.

Now seeing the puppet next to Jialuo that was obviously made of a corpse, the urge to talk to and be talked to became even stronger.

"Lord Garuro, what are you doing?"

He carefully sat down on the other side of Jialuo and looked at the puppet next to her.

"It's a human puppet."

Jialuo's voice was light and indifferent, as if he had become indifferent to everything in this world: "A forbidden technique that can retain a portion of the deceased's power before his death."

"A ninja who gave everything to protect the village during his lifetime had to continue to suffer such blasphemy after his death."

"What a shame this is for us as the living."

"Scorpion, can you understand?"

"."

Hearing her words, Scorpion was stunned.

For young people of this age, ethics and morals, blasphemy and dedication are all things whose necessity is difficult to understand.

All he could see was the pain that came with having to turn the people he cared about into weapons.

How sad is Jialuo's expression right now?

'She must be suffering a lot more than I am now, having just lost my parents, right?'

As Scorpion listened to Jialuo's seemingly calm voice, this thought inexplicably arose in his mind.

Scorpion, who had been trained by Grandma Chiyo since childhood to become an excellent puppeteer, suddenly felt an indescribable disgust for this kind of weapon.

It was as if I saw something dirty.

"Everything stems from a lack of strength."

Suddenly, he spoke like this.

Jialuo was startled when he heard this and turned to look at him.

As if to emphasize, Scorpion calmly looked at the cliff below and said: "Whether it is the death of Lord Luosha, the death of my parents, or the death of all other Sand Ninjas, they all stem from the same reason."

"Lack of strength."

He had just clearly seen the entire battle between Sawara Kiri and the One-Tailed Shukaku. Even though they were far away, the fight between the two was so intense that even on the top of such a distant mountain, he was able to use special ninjutsu to observe the process of their fight.

Because they could see it, no one suggested stupid things like "Let's go over and help out."

Similarly, this also brought great shock to Scorpio's young heart.

"Lord Garuro."

"I don't want to practice puppetry anymore."

Scorpion's eyes were calm and determined: "No matter how powerful a puppet is, it can't defeat a fully formed tailed beast, right? Then naturally, it can't defeat the Konoha ninja who is more powerful than the One-Tailed Shukaku."

"The only thing that can transcend humans is humans themselves."

"The puppet is too weak."

"If possible, after the war is over, could you please introduce me to the Third Kazekage?"

Hearing this, Jialuo couldn't help but look at him in a daze, looking at this little kid who was only this tiny this year.

The pale expression on her face froze for a few seconds, and then she slowly revealed a weak smile:

"I will."

"Thank you very much."

At this time, Scorpio did not know that his life had deviated greatly due to the changes in his obsession.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After the dust settled on the battle in the Sand Village, Chiyo had already arranged people to quickly transmit the information back to the camp on the front line against the Fire Nation.

Originally, the Third Kazekage felt a little relieved because the Sawara Kiri had not harassed them for many days.

But the information that appeared on his desk immediately afterwards made his face suddenly turn pale.

Chiyo wrote the entire process in great detail in the intelligence, and after the Konoha ninja collected the important intelligence and supplies in the Sand Village, they returned to the village to re-count them. The final result was very bleak.

Because the explosive array buried at the bottom of the Fengying Building was discovered in advance and failed to be detonated in time, 60% to 70% of the remaining important information in the building was wiped out, and the remaining part was because it was transported away in advance.

In addition, there was a series of bad news, including the huge casualties and rout of the Sand Village garrison ninja that night, the disappearance of the One-Tail Shukaku, the death of the Jinchūriki Bunfuku, etc.

Chiyo simply ignored the remaining notes sent from the Land of Wind - their Sand Village was already having a lot of headaches, so how could they have the time to care about you?

The Third Kazekage lived up to his name of 'Iron Sand' and read the entire report in full.

However, his expression was so bad that even the staff ninjas around him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for him.

Now that the village has become like this, the Third Kazekage is the last pillar of their village and the biggest scapegoat. If anything happens to him, who can bear the current situation of the village?

The army is still fighting on the front line, but they don’t know that their hometown has been destroyed.

"Suck--!"

The Third Kazekage put down the letter and took a deep breath, but he still felt dizzy and his vision went dark.

Finally, he could only lower his voice and calmly say: "We lost this battle because of Sawara Kiri. If it weren't for this person's many days of attack, we would have defeated the Jinchūriki."

Just as he was struggling to continue summarizing, a very familiar "boom" sound suddenly came from outside.

The Sandaime Kazekage's expression froze.

A sharp alarm sounded outside the military tent, and the messenger ninja rushed into the tent and shouted:
"Sandaime-sama!"

"Sawara Kiri is here again!"

"puff!"

That night, the Third Kazekage vomited three liters of blood in the military tent.

The war is completely impossible to fight.
