From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 99 Jinchūriki (6k)

"Report!"

"Gosaga Logistics Base was attacked! The Ichihara Castle Guard was unable to make contact."

"Green City has not sent back any news for a whole day and night. The situation is worrying!"

“We are here.”

The Third Kazekage left the village for war, and as the advisory elder, Chiyo naturally took on the responsibilities of the Kazekage, and was responsible for handling all matters in the Kazekage Building.

However, since a few days ago, various places in the Kingdom of Wind have been attacked by several Konoha troops. The casualties in various cities have been heavy. The entire Kingdom of Wind has been shocked three times a day. The nobles in charge of managing cities in various places have been constantly sending notes to the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind, so that envoys from the Kingdom of Wind have come to hold them accountable almost every day in the past few days.

As a high-ranking official of Sunagakure, Chiyo is naturally well aware that these are things that the daimyo's mansion has to do. After all, even the daimyo of a country cannot withstand the joint accusations of dozens of high-ranking nobles, so he can only put the blame on the Sunagakure Village - no, it's not even the blame, because protecting the country is the duty of a ninja village in a country.

But now, the Sand Village is completely powerless to stop the invasion of these Konoha ninjas.

Even though it was only a small-scale force, the destructive power of ninjas on ordinary people was beyond the reach of even the army.

In just a few days, the logistics and supply systems of most of the Wind Kingdom were basically cut off. Even merchants did not dare to travel during these days and hid themselves away. As a result, the lives of the nobles in various cities began to become miserable.

You have to know that the Kingdom of Wind is not a country as vast and rich as the Kingdom of Fire. More than 80% of its territory is desert, and most of the rest is wasteland. All people living in this country rely on the materials produced by a limited number of large oases and fertile lands on the edge to survive. The trade routes between cities can almost be called the lifeline of this country.

Naturally, they became the main targets of Konoha Ninja in addition to attacking the logistics system.

However, facing this situation, Chiyo has no other choice.

The Third Kazekage made a desperate move and led all his troops to attack the defense line of Kikyo Castle in the Land of Fire. Most of the remaining ninjas in the Sand Village were old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if all these people were added up, there were only more than 4,000 of them. The limited young and strong ninjas were assigned to various logistics lines to defend the rear lines of the Sand Village army.

However, these scattered ninjas became the main hunting targets of the Konoha ninjas.

"Damn Konoha ninja!"

Chiyo slammed the table so hard that the documents on it jumped.

If the Sand Village army was here, why would they allow the Konoha ninjas to be so rampant now?
Even now, the problem of attacks in various places in the Wind Country has gradually become a trivial matter. From the continuous summary of the information sent back from various places, Chiyo can see at a glance that these Konoha ninjas are obviously heading towards the direction of the Sand Village.

As the logistics base for the entire Sand Village army, if the village was wiped out by these guys, one can imagine what would happen next.

"If this continues."

Chiyo sat there in deep thought for a long time, and realized that she alone could not take the responsibility for the wrong decision.

In desperation, he had to summon all the remaining Sand Village high-ranking officials in the village.

"What do you think?"

After the remaining senior executives took their seats and read the news from various places sent by the intelligence department one by one, everyone's expression could not help but be a little anxious.

Ebizo's brows were furrowed deeply, and wrinkles kept piling up on his forehead. "According to the intelligence, it may only take one or two days for the Konoha ninja to reach our Sand Village."

"Why didn't you notify the front corps earlier?"

To Chiyo's right, a young man with red hair frowned and asked in confusion, "With so few people tied up, can't the army in front squeeze out?"

"Ize!"

Chiyo's eyebrows were raised, and she scolded coldly: "It's not your turn to speak yet."

The senior executives around him didn't say much and pretended not to hear anything.

The red-haired young man called Yize looked at his mother with some confusion and dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to speak further because of the majesty she had established since childhood.

Seeing this scene and looking at the expressions of several senior executives around him, Chiyo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If it weren't for the fact that her son and daughter-in-law were two of the only few jonin left in the village and had such a relationship with her, Chiyo really didn't want to let her silly son who only knew how to study puppets get involved in such a topic.

In this situation, do you still want the army in the front to allocate troops to the rear?
The troop led by Hatake Sakumo was not small in number, but they easily bypassed the blockade of the army ahead and rushed straight to the Kingdom of Wind. Do you think it was a coincidence or a tacit understanding between the two sides?

The Sand Village army only has a limited time to hold out at the front line, so for the Third Kazekage who has staked everything on this, what's the problem with reducing such a large group of powerful resistance without losing a single soldier?
As for the damage caused to the Wind Kingdom and the village?
If you win, it won’t be a big deal at all;
If we lose, that’s not the biggest problem. It’s not a big deal.

But unfortunately, this silly son of his has absolutely no similar political wisdom. He cannot see through this point at all. Instead, he is still entangled in the gains and losses of a city or a place.

"The problem now is how to resist Konoha's invasion."

"Please stop mentioning things that are obviously impossible to do."

Ye Cang calmly answered the question and continued, "Now, the target of Konoha Ninja is clear, which is the steel mill and weapons manufacturing plant currently in operation in my village."

"If these two places are completely destroyed, it will take at least two months to rebuild them."

"If we lose skilled craftsmen and important machines, it will take longer."

She did not continue.

By then, the defeat of Sunagakure will be certain.

"How long will it take to transfer the personnel and machines?" The bitterness on Ebizo's face became heavier, but his eyes were solemn.

"I have already started giving orders last night, and it will take about half a day to transport everything underground." When Ye Cang said this, his tone slightly relaxed.

"."

After hearing this, no one at the scene cared about the small matter that Ye Cang bypassed the high-level meeting and gave the order directly.

Instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

As long as the most important personnel and machines are not damaged, the Sand Village still has a chance.

"In that case." Chiyo straightened her back, swept a fierce look at everyone present, and said firmly, "We will use these two places as fulcrums to give these ignorant Konoha ninjas a hard blow!"

"No matter what the final result is, we must let those bastards know that we, the Sand Village, are not to be trifled with!"

"Yes!"

Everyone present nodded in unison.

However, his expression was still full of worry.

Although Advisor Chiyo did not mention it intentionally, all of the Sunagakure high-ranking officials present were well aware of the number of ninjas remaining in the village.

Relying solely on these 4,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, what can they achieve even if they try their best?

But, in the end, you still have to work hard.

Night falls,

The desert in the Kingdom of Winds is cooling rapidly.

The ninjas, who had been disliked the dry and hot sand during the day, immediately felt the cold invading their bodies.

However, among the Konoha ninjas lying in ambush outside the Sand Village at this moment, none of them spoke, and they all waited quietly.

After issuing the remaining tasks, Hatake Sakumo automatically resigned from his position as commander-in-chief and became the captain of this 200-man assault team, rushing to the front in the upcoming battle.

At this time, he, like his companions around him, was lying quietly on the sand waiting.

Until one moment, a red light like a flame suddenly lit up in the distant sky and quickly swept across the sky.

"collapse--!"

The sound was like the breaking of a harp string.

The entire giant barrier that originally surrounded the Sand Village suddenly made an unbearable and terrifying sound under this blow, abruptly waking up all the ninjas in the Sand Village.

Almost at the same moment when the sound was rang out, the Konoha ninjas who were originally ambushing in various places immediately began to charge towards the target according to the original plan.

"kill!"

Hatake Sakumo pulled out the White Fang from his waist, drew his sword, and rushed to the front of the entire team. With the speed of wind, he rushed to the wall of the Sand Village ahead of others.

The Sand Village ninjas who were suddenly attacked were obviously slow to react for a moment when they heard the shouts and screams from under the city wall, but they responded to Konoha's first round of surprise attacks under the angry rebukes of the older ninjas.

The Sand Village ninjas, who had not undergone joint training, could only fight on their own at this time.

If it were a normal day, it wouldn't be a big problem, but what they need to face now is the blade that belongs only to Konoha, which has been polished to the brightest and sharpest level through countless hardships in various parts of the Wind Country.

Almost in an instant, Hatake Sakumo's figure plunged into the crowd lined up on the city wall.

"Wind Style: White Fang!"

The wind-style chakra that has been honed day by day for decades is bestowed on this seemingly ordinary short sword in its most simple and unpretentious form.

While extending the attack range of the dagger, it also gave it the sharpest blade in the world.

Looking at it from the night sky, the extremely pure wind-style chakra was like a thin layer of glass stuck on the surface of the blade. There was no trace of flow shown by ordinary wind-style chakra at all, and the whole blade appeared translucent.

However, no matter who it is, no one can be his match.

In the moment when the chakra dagger named White Fang passed by, no matter it was a steel kunai, a special weapon, or a body that had been trained countless times - all matter that dared to stand in his way would be easily cut off.

The shrill sound of breaking wind tore through the night, and amid the tragic wails of countless people, it penetrated through the crowd from the front to the end at a speed that was too fast for ordinary people to react.

He left behind a bloody trail paved with countless limbs and lives.

That silver-gray short hair and cold face, in the eyes of other Sand Village ninjas, was so terrifying that he looked like a demon crawling out of the abyss.

However, his subordinates who followed him regarded him as a hero unmatched in the world.

After Hatake Sakumo almost single-handedly opened a path, the Konoha ninjas behind him easily rushed into the Sand Village army formation, which was not very tight to begin with, with almost no effort. They kept performing ninjutsu and swinging their swords to kill those Sand Village ninjas who behaved like sheep in fear, obedient and weak.

The speed of the advance was astonishingly fast.

At the same time, Hatake Sakumo did not lose his mind because of killing. On the contrary, every swing of the sword he made was incredibly calm and rational.

While constantly shuttling among the Sand Ninjas, he was also quickly searching for the preset target of this mission.

Steel Plant.

According to the information they obtained, the steel plant in the Sand Village is a semi-buried structure, so it is not obvious from the outside.

However, as one of the most important buildings in the entire Sand Village, there must be a large number of ninjas guarding it.

Therefore, before launching the surprise attack, Hatake Sakumo had already found several sensory ninjas to follow him. "Lord Sakumo!"

The Inuzuka clan ninja was closely followed by a ninja dog, with a trace of blood on its sharp claws, but his voice was urgent and excited: "Ogomaru said that there is a large number of ninjas gathering in the southeast direction. The smell is very obvious, and there is also the smell of iron and burnt chimneys! It is roughly the same direction as the steel mill we observed on the mountain!"

"Charge forward!" Hatake Sakumo gave the order without any hesitation.

"Yes!"

The ninjas following behind immediately responded in unison.

However, before they could rush into the vicinity of the steel plant, they saw several figures stepping on the roof and quickly landing in front of them, blocking the door tightly, with sharp voices:

"Konoha White Fang!"

"How dare you be so presumptuous in the Sand Village? I'll pay you with your lives!"

"Hey."

Hatake Sakumo looked at this gloomy, short middle-aged man with a solemn gaze:

"Sunagakure advisor, Ebizo."

"Are there still Izawa and Chie from the 'Red Machine Twins'?"

Obviously, this is the last trump card of the Sand Village.

but
Hatake Sakumo looked at the three of them, and in this eerie silence, he slowly walked forward.

With every step he took, the aura of this sultry man who usually looked leisurely and at peace with the world would increase a little bit, and the surging chakra would burst out of his body with a storm-like roar like a raging spring or a volcanic eruption.

The short gray hair swayed slightly in the constantly surging chakra. The wind chakra compressed to the extreme wrapped around his feet and blade, giving people an indescribable terrifying oppression.

There was an unprecedented arrogance in Hatake Sakumo's voice:
"What on earth made you so arrogant that you think you are qualified to stop it with just a few guys?"

"I?!"

Almost at the moment the sound fell.

His figure seemed to be suddenly swept into the center of a strong wind, and turned into a blurry mist at a speed that was completely impossible to capture with the naked eye, and suddenly rushed towards the three people in front of him.

Ebizo and his companions' hearts suddenly skipped a beat and they subconsciously took out their swords to block the way ahead. At the same time, the puppet opened into a semicircular shield amidst the sounds of mechanical deformation.

"Zheng——!"

The moment Ebizo opened his shield, he saw an extremely sharp blade wrapped in an unimaginably sharp wind-style piercing through the steel plate made of special metal. The wind-style chakra was almost an inch in front of his pupil, scraped across his fluttering and split eyebrows, and cut an arc horizontally to the side of his body.

The sound of metal tearing in my ears seemed to pierce my eardrums.

The sparks from the ultra-high-speed friction lit up the night.

Ebizo did not dare to pause for a moment. While controlling the other two puppets with one hand to block his body, the short knife in his hand stabbed forward fiercely.

"Sword skills?"

There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in Hatake Sakumo's voice. He moved his body to the side, avoiding the tip of the knife, and swung the White Fang short knife in his hand upwards, easily cutting it in half.

The next moment, two puppets fell from the air, spinning and converging towards him with their huge flywheels.

"clank!"

With two consecutive slashes from front and back, the sturdy flywheel puppet was easily torn apart. Hatake Sakumo turned his head sharply and glanced at the red-haired young man behind him.

Yize felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously formed seals with his hands.

"Secret Technique: Puppet Substitute!"

Almost at the moment when the seal was completed, the cold light of the sword suddenly penetrated the night and drew an arc like a meteor in the air.

"Crack——!"

As a special substitute for the puppet, it was chopped into several pieces in an instant.

But before Izawa could start to adjust his posture, he saw Hatake Sakumo rushing in front of him at a faster speed and suddenly slashed with a knife.

"Whoosh!"

Before White Fang's blade could reach him, another puppet had already blocked it.

But before Izawa could start to feel relieved, Hatake Sakumo had already taken a step forward and thrust his thigh across, kicking him right in the abdomen.

Yize was kicked and turned over dozens of times in the air, but his wife Qianhui had already taken his place, controlling the other two puppets to block in front of him with an extremely serious expression.

'Scorpion, still waiting for them to come home.'

Ebizo and the two Akaki demons formed a triangle and surrounded Hatake Sakumo.

The Sand Village ninjas led behind them, relying on their several times greater numbers, collided with the Konoha ninjas.

However, probably because most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled and were no longer in their prime, these Sand Village ninjas could hardly hold out for long under the impact of the elite Konoha ninja troops, and their entire defense line was penetrated.

"Go destroy the equipment in the steel mill first!"

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo was concentrating on the battle, another deputy commander immediately shouted out the mission objective.

The Konoha ninjas did not stop and immediately filed into the direction of the steel plant.

"Hey."

Suddenly, a sneer slowly appeared on Ebizo's old face.

Hatake Sakumo noticed this scene and suddenly felt something strange in his heart. He immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the troops behind him.

Oops.

"boom--!!!"

On the other side, Sawara Kiri and his group were flying towards the arsenal, relying on his "six eyes" vision to fly over the rooftops at the fastest speed, avoiding the Sand Village troops that were constantly chasing them from all directions.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard in the distance.

The flames shooting up into the sky lit up the night, and the ground beneath our feet seemed to be shaking faintly, with the aftermath continuing.

"what happened?!"

Minato Namikaze suddenly turned his head towards the direction where the explosion came from.

With their current material reserves, they simply do not have the detonating talisman resources to cause such a large-scale explosion.

In this case
"Is this an ambush by the Sand Village?"

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Sawara Kiri, who was rushing in the front, suddenly stopped and raised his hand to the ninjas following behind him.

"stop."

The Konoha ninjas who were rushing out from behind covered in blood immediately stopped.

Sawara Kiri looked ahead, and the interior of the arsenal was reflected in the azure "Six Eyes".

Densely packed detonating talismans were like stickers, covering every corner of the entire arsenal. A rough count showed that there were at least tens or even millions of them - enough to blow them and the entire factory to the sky.

Obviously, even those that cannot be transported away cannot be left to Konoha.

I don't know how Mr. Sakumo is doing now.

Besides
"Watergate!"

Sawara Kiri's voice suddenly became very urgent, and he shouted loudly: "Where is the nearest space point to you?"

"At the entrance of Sand Village!"

Although he didn't know why Kiri shouted like that, Minato Namikaze answered without any hesitation.

Almost at the moment he shouted, Sawara Kiri suddenly grabbed his arm, swung him up in the air, and threw him towards the factory gate in front with unprecedented force.

Suddenly, there was an explosion of violent speed that Minato Namikaze had never experienced in his life.

"boom!"

"Send him away!"

Heavy sonic boom rings were wrapped around him, and even the sound seemed unable to keep up with his body, but Minato Namikaze still understood what he meant in an instant.

When his figure passed through the darkness, his sight finally saw the only old man in the empty factory area in the changes of light and darkness.

Minato Namikaze stretched out his hand without hesitation.

Almost at the same moment, the old monk with a compassionate look on his face had a thin layer of tailed beast chakra appearing on the surface of his body.

He kept his hands clasped together, with an expression of indescribable sadness and pity on his face.

"Konoha's Ninja"

"Fuck!"

The larger the transmission volume and the stronger the chakra interference force, the greater the total amount of chakra consumed by the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This attack of the Flying Thunder God Technique completely exhausted Minato Namikaze's full strength.

But even so, it could only barely get him a few kilometers away - and that was already quite remarkable.

"boom--!!!"

The next moment, terrifying chakra like the collapse of the sky and the earth, continuously rose up into the sky from the gate of the Sand Village, as if to light up everything in everyone's sight.

Like a burning torch.

At this moment, all the Konoha ninjas present felt a chill in their hearts.

Jinchūriki?
