From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 96 Returning Home Watergate (1w)

Almost at the moment when he saw the faint white light above Hatake Sakumo's head, Sawara Kiri knew that he had to stand up.

"Shallow Heart Knot"

When Hatake Sakumo looked at him in confusion, his thoughts at the moment had already appeared on the panel.

"Sahara's Book of Friends"

"Hatake Sakumo's Heart Knot (Shallow)"

"Details: No matter what the cost, this mission must succeed, even if the cost is life."

Sawara Kiri looked at the words on the panel and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Lord Sakumo, since the Sand Village has already moved some of the supplies away in advance, it must mean that they are now prepared for our current actions and the possibility of an attack from the rear."

"Right now, the total number of our troops is only over 3,000. Even if we send half of them out, it will be difficult to contain the Sand Village attacking army with a total number of over 20,000."

"In fact, the enemy may have already used the supplies as bait, waiting for our sneak attack troops to walk into the ambush."

"What's more, even if we send troops to break into the Sand Village camp, with only a few people in the encirclement, how much of the Sand Village's supplies can we destroy in the end?"

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo and several other staff officers remained silent, but did not refute.

If even Sawara Kiri could think of it, how could these senior commanders not have any defense or speculation?
Even this important logistics base located in the Ōakigawa has only such a small number of personnel. Isn't this intentional on the part of the Sunagakure side?
They can all think of it.

However, what they are facing now is an either-or decision.

There was no choice at all.

Because of this, Hatake Sakumo, who chose to split his troops to attack the rear of the Sand Village, had to make the decision to fight for his life.

Mr. Wu, you are still too young.

Don’t you see through this?

Hatake Sakumo sighed in his heart and was about to explain to the young man the situation he was facing.

Then, Sawara Kiri continued, "Instead of making such an unprofitable sacrifice under the guidance of Sunagakure, why don't we try another method?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Another way?"

The Nara ninja beside him asked subconsciously.

"Yes."

Sawara Kiri smiled slightly, turned to look at the blond young man next to him who had an equally serious expression, and stretched out a finger.

"Depend on him!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

Minato: "Huh?"

Sahara Kiri smiled confidently and said, "It only takes two of us, that's enough."

Hearing this, everyone present seemed to have thought of something and their eyes suddenly lit up.

Only Uchiha Yayoi, who was also standing in the crowd, was stunned. He stared at the two of them blankly for a while, then lowered his head silently. His slender hands tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, his fingers clenched until they turned white.

Not a word.

Under the night.

Sawara Kiri and Namikaze Minato were flying through the forests and mountains of the River Country at an extremely fast speed, heading straight back to the hilltop near Kikyo Castle.

Until the moonlight gradually brightened, the two of them lay on a mountain with a good view and looked far away in the direction of the Sand Village position.

"That's about it here."

Sawara Kiri looked into the distance with his "six eyes", making estimates in his mind.

Namikaze Minato followed beside him, looking a little nervous.

After hesitating for a moment, he subconsciously asked:

"Mist-kun."

"Is this method of fighting really okay?"

Sahara Kiri's expression was even more resolute than his own, and he said with great confidence:
"Trust me, Minato."

"As long as the two of us can make good use of this fighting method, we will not be the strongest in the ninja world, but at least the most annoying in the entire ninja world."

Minato smiled awkwardly: "If it can help the war, I can barely accept it."

"It's just not handsome at all."

Sawara Kiri didn't care about his muttering, his heart was filled with worry about Hatake Sakumo.

The azure "six eyes" expanded their field of vision to the extreme, enclosing the entire Sand Camp and part of the Kikyo Castle defense circle, observing them carefully.

If there are tens of thousands of people, there will be no boundaries.

At least 20,000 ninjas were gathered, and the military tents were scattered everywhere. In the Sand Village camp, there were many guard posts, defense circles and barriers. Even Sawara Kiri's "six eyes" vision could only barely cover it.

It took him a long time just to find a supply storage point in this area.

It was almost twenty minutes later that he finally identified their target.

"Tsk, it's really insidious."

"I said, those guys from Sunagakure must have been waiting for us here for a long time."

Sawara Kiri murmured softly.

In the vision of his "Six Eyes", near the material storage center in the north, there were always at least two thousand Sand Village ninjas lying in ambush even in the middle of the night, and several nearby camps also maintained observation posts at all times.

If anything happens nearby, countless big men will suddenly rush out of the dilapidated house and beat up the attackers.

What’s even more disgusting is that this material storage point, which seems to be heavily surrounded, is mostly empty.

Instead, there is a thick layer of detonating arrays buried at the bottom layer.

It was obvious that even if Hatake Sakumo and his men finally rushed in after going through untold hardships, they would probably be blown to the sky by the explosive talisman array inside.

The real material storage points were placed in eleven seemingly inconspicuous military warehouses near Fengying's tent - a large hole was dug out in the ground of each warehouse.

So stubborn.

Looking at the heavy defensive posture, Sawara Kiri couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a while, he finally decided on a plan and made a decision.

"Watergate?"

"Yes."

"How is your earth escape skill?"

"what?"

The lights were on in Fengying's tent.

Up to this time, the Third Kazekage was still busy.

Material consumption, intelligence analysis, casualties, total stock of medicines and tools, and estimated time of the next attack.
Since there was no qualified military management team, most of these tasks had to be done by the Third Kazekage himself.

However, compared to his compatriots who were fighting on the battlefield, the Third Kazekage did not feel that his current job was so hard.

It was not until he saw a piece of intelligence that a sneer slowly appeared on his face.

"At this time, the team led by Hatake Sakumo should have been caught in a dilemma, right?"

"Abandon the mission and launch a surprise attack, or continue to destroy the logistics system?"

"I'm afraid there are only 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers that can be deployed from Kikyo City. If these few people are gathered together, they can still be of some use. But if they are separated, no matter what they do, they will definitely fail."

"Hatake Sakumo."

"What would you choose?"

No matter which side he chooses, the Third Kazekage believes he is fully prepared.

In terms of physique, he is not as good as the Third Raikage, in terms of secret techniques, he is not as good as Ohnoki, and in terms of wealth, he is not as good as Konoha.

However, when it comes to wisdom and diligence, the Third Kazekage dares to straighten his back and laugh out loud, saying that you all are garbage.

Just as he was thinking this, bursts of piercing shouts and screams suddenly came from the direction of the supply center in the distance that was used as a decoy.

Noticing this subtle sound, the Third Kazekage stood up from his desk, slowly walked out of the military tent, and a calm smile appeared on his face:

"It seems that this side has been chosen?"

"boom--!"

The blazing burning figure ignited streams of light in the night, like a dazzling arc, moving back and forth in the Sand Hidden Army formation, making bursts of explosive roars.

The Sand Village ninjas who had been lying in ambush for a long time, after noticing the movement here, immediately gathered in the direction of the sound according to the original plan.

The nearby Sand Village ninjas also noticed the movement here, and they all stood up from their tents and looked towards the direction where the fire was.

"Kagura, the God of Fire, Round Dance!"

The blade suddenly swept a circle of flames in the air and melted in mid-air, but the figure still rushed forward into the center of the dense Sand Hidden Army formation, moving straight towards the supply point that was obviously protected by all of them at an extremely fast speed. The target was extremely obvious.

After seeing this iconic move, someone among the Sand Village ninjas present immediately recognized the figure.

"Hedao! It's Sawara Kiri!"

"That bastard Konoha ninja!"

"The Mist of the Blade? That monstrous genius!"

"Stop him! He's trying to break into the supply point!"

There was an immediate rustling sound among the crowd.

However, even after knowing the other party's name, none of the Sand Village ninjas present showed the slightest intention of retreating.

There are more than 20,000 Sand Village ninjas here!
Even if there were 20,000 pigs, he would be exhausted to death if he had to chop them one by one.

What's more, in order to guard against sudden attacks by more than a thousand people, a complete military formation is always on guard here.

Almost at the moment when Sawara Kiri broke into the military formation, several ninjutsu combined battalions and sealing battalions in the rear had already launched an attack in his direction.

"Joint Ninjutsu: Great Wind Kiri Jutsu!"

Dozens of people formed a military formation to release ninjutsu at the same rhythm, and at the same time spewed out a large number of fine wind blades. These countless wind blades mixed together and immediately formed a larger storm, which completely covered the area of ​​hundreds of meters centered on Sawara Mist.

In an instant, the moist soil under the feet was lifted up by this huge wind, and a large amount of dust and sand flew together. The entire ground seemed to be covered with countless cuts, and it was advancing forward like an invisible wall.

"boom--!"

Sawara Kiri stood firmly in place, as if an invisible barrier separated him from the wind and sand outside.

Countless grains of sand suddenly stopped within an inch of him and could not get any closer.

However, if you look closely, you can find that there are still very small wind blades leaving fine scratches on the surface of his skin - in order to ensure breathing, it is impossible for Sawara Kiri to block out all the gases.

If there were too many of them suddenly gathered, even he would accidentally miss a few.

However, these fine marks only stayed on the skin for a moment before closing silently, leaving only tiny traces of blood.

The powerful physique brought by the "Energy Beast" not only gives him the same reproductive ability as an orc, but most importantly, it gives him the orc's powerful recovery ability.

This is the key to having ten times a night!
"Hey!"

Sawara Kiri raised his head and suddenly rushed out.

The other troop's joint seals were completed almost simultaneously, with both hands slapping the ground.

"Joint Ninjutsu: Wanli Doryubi!"

In an instant, a barrier like a city wall rose up, and the tall and thick earth wall seemed to lock him in this narrow range forever.

However, before the troops behind could continue to cast the spell.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Across the thousands of miles of earth flow wall that stretched in front of them, there was a sudden burst of deafening impact sounds. The giant rock wall was penetrated layer by layer. From a distance, it seemed as if some monster was charging, knocking down the layers of earth flow wall from the bottom layer, breaking them in the middle, and raising a large amount of smoke and dust.

Looking at the scene happening before their eyes, all the Sand Village ninjas present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Hey Hey hey--"

"Is this something that can be done by just one person?!"

More than one person asked this question in their hearts.

Until finally, that inconspicuous figure finally broke through all the stone walls and stood in front of these Sand Ninjas.

Suddenly, he stretched out a finger towards the Sand Village army formation in front of him.

"Reversal of the technique!"

"Hey!"

The few Sand Village ninjas standing at the front were all stunned when they saw the subtle red light.

How can such a small ninjutsu
Before his brain could react, a deafening supersonic explosion rang in his ears.

"boom--"

Immediately afterwards, the red light suddenly penetrated.

This attack blew open a passage in the Sand Village army formation within a few hundred meters.

All those who stood in the way of that subtle red light were crushed into a pool of meat paste.

However, even this momentary pause was caught by the sharp-eyed Sand Ninjas, and the Sealing Squadron immediately took action.

"The Great Seal of Dust and Sand!"

Dozens of ninjas who were proficient in sealing techniques pressed their hands to the ground.

In just a moment, Sawara Kiri's "Six Eyes" made him sense a strong threat. A cloud of dust immediately burst out from under his feet, and he rushed a hundred meters away.

Three seconds after his figure disappeared.

The place where he had just stood was suddenly surrounded by countless fine sealing formations that emerged from the ground.

Countless fine black sands gushed out.

Suddenly, it was all swallowed up.

Only a sunken hole was left in its place.

Sawara Kiri looked at the entire team of Sand Village Sealing Squad ninjas who were all dressed in masks, and his expression was a little solemn.

"Is it similar to the technique of the inner four-symbol seal?"

Compared to the sealing technique performed by Monzaemon that he had encountered before, the joint sealing mastered by these sealing class ninjas is obviously more targeted at the battlefield.

Obviously, because there is no need to conduct in-depth research on the stability of the target after sealing, and even in order to pursue the lethality brought by this "unstable" seal, similar sealing techniques are much simpler than formal sealing techniques.

But it was too slow for him.

In addition, it is only suitable for battlefields that are preset in advance.

Sawara Kiri's "Six Eyes" only scanned the battlefield once, and noticed the vertical sealing scrolls that had been set up in advance and placed in various places nearby. He almost realized that the move just now also required advance preparation in order to be completed quickly.

At this time, more and more people noticed the movement here, but they were not allowed to leave the camp because they had no orders from the commander.

Sawara Kiri observed for a while and felt that the time was about right, so he turned around and rushed into the supply center that was used as a decoy as quickly as possible.

The moment they saw this scene, several senior commanders of Sand Village in the crowd immediately showed surprise on their faces.

Almost at the same time, the detonation troops who had been lying in ambush outside for a long time clasped their hands together.

"burst!"

Flames shot up into the sky and the earth trembled.

The sound of explosions that pierced the clouds and split rocks suddenly resounded throughout the Sand Hidden Camp.

They knew that this large-scale detonating array was designed to deal with the Konoha attack force of around a thousand people.

However, after seeing Sawara Kiri's devil-like performance just now, no one regarded him as an ordinary ninja anymore.

All the Sand Villagers present just wanted to kill this horrible monster immediately.

Even the Third Kazekage who was walking nearby did not stop their wasteful behavior. Instead, he frowned and looked quietly at the explosion point.

Hundreds of thousands of detonating tags were stacked together, densely covering the entire warehouse. The impact caused by their simultaneous detonation turned the area of ​​hundreds of meters into a white field in an instant.

The location where the material warehouse was originally located was deeply sunken, revealing the underground space hidden inside.

The smell of gunpowder filled my nostrils, spreading over the vast area like fog.

However, none of the surrounding Sand Village ninjas spoke first.

Faintly, one could only hear the wailing and swallowing sounds around.

"call--"

The violent howling wind blew away the gray fog in the center of the battlefield.

All the Sand Village ninjas were stunned.

Sawara Kiri, who was unharmed, slowly stepped out from the center of the explosion, sighing leisurely:
"Ah, it was thrilling."

"It was nearly blown to pieces."

The Third Kazekage looked at him solemnly.

The young man in front of him had almost no signs of burns on his body except for his hair being blown up by the impact of the explosion.

Instead, a raging fire broke out on the ground around them.

Based on the countless information he had obtained before, the Third Kazekage finally confirmed the technique he was performing.

"A nearly constant, space-based defensive spell?"

“How on earth did they do that?”

Sawara Kiri did not answer, but just smiled at him in a friendly manner and asked: "Compared to this, you should actually be more concerned about your supplies, right?"

"?!"

Hearing this, the Third Kazekage was stunned.

What do you mean?
Almost at the moment this thought arose.

"Boom--!"

There was another deafening explosion.

However, this time it rose near his Fengying tent.

The Sandai Kazekage's heart suddenly tightened, and he suddenly looked behind him.

The billowing flames lit up the sky.

Faintly, it seemed as if something was burning.

“You——?!”

At this moment, the Third Kazekage understood everything.

This guy had deliberately lured them here!

The Third Kazekage stared at him, his eyes wide open.

Sawara Kiri smiled nonchalantly and said gently, "Don't worry! Master Sandai. There are enough supplies for tens of thousands of people. The quantity is huge."

"You can't solve all of them by just using it once."

"It will take at least a few more times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze appeared beside him and nodded at him.

Sawara Kiri looked into the eyes of the Third Kazekage, which were almost burning with fire, and smiled:
"Next time, please keep up the good work."

Suddenly, the two figures disappeared at the same time.

The entire battlefield seemed to gradually fall silent as their figures disappeared.

The Third Kazekage stood there silently for a long time, looking at the fire in the distance. He thought about the preparations made by the entire Sand Village and the Kingdom of Wind for more than ten years, and his heart was bleeding.

In the night, his eyes were bloodshot, veins on his forehead were about to burst, his gums were almost bleeding from biting his teeth, and he spoke word by word:
"Sa!hara! Kiri——!!!"
