I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"I hope my name will not bring shame to our Land of Wind, or to the Kazekage of all time!"

"Kings of the Wind Kingdom! Come with me!"

Chapter 336 The Strange Onoki

"Wow, Mr. Ebizo is amazing."

Nara Shikaku exclaimed to Ebizo in shock, "I really didn't know you had such a skill!"

Among the group heading towards the border of the Land of Wind were the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who had been temporarily appointed, Ebizo, Chiyo, and Chiaki's group.

The main force of the Land of Wind, along with the underpowered Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto, fell behind. The people in the front row went ahead to the border to see what that old guy Onoki was up to.

Among this group, there were two Kage, and all of them were Jonin, with only Ebizo being a Chunin. They were truly the elite of the elite.

Although Ebizo, a Chunin, slowed down the march, no one objected.

As a top strategist, one always receives special treatment.

This team has Kage-level combat power plus Genin-level combat power, with front-line tanks, damage dealers, controllers, healers, and two super strategists. It's simply amazing.

"Cough cough cough."

In response to Nara Shikaku's praise, Ebizo coughed and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Nara."

"Still pretending?"

Nara Shikaku looked at Ebizo with disdain and said, "What's going on with this attack from the Land of Earth?"

"Why did the Anbu appear just when things were about to fall apart? What a coincidence!"

In the eyes of a charlatan, nothing is a coincidence; everything can be calculated.

"You must have already calculated that the Land of Earth, having been defeated by the Land of Wind in a breach of contract, would not be able to swallow this insult and would come to launch a sneak attack!"

Nara Shikaku stroked his chin, thinking that as a smart man, he could easily connect everything.

"That makes sense. Onoki is cautious by nature, but he has one major flaw: he is arrogant."

"He was outmaneuvered by the weak... oh... I mean, not very powerful Wind Kingdom, he definitely won't swallow this insult."

"After all, they've been used to bullying the weak, so they're bound to retaliate."

Nara Shikaku thought about it and realized it made perfect sense. "That's right, this really fits Onoki's personality!"

"By calculating based on his personality and behavior, and adding some details and intelligence, it is entirely possible to predict when Onoki will attack, and thus devise such a shocking plan. You are truly worthy of this!"

"Cough cough cough... Mama mama..."

Ebizo's cough worsened, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Alright, alright, I understand. This is indeed something to be proud of. Old sir, there's no need to get so excited, lest you faint."

Nara Shikaku remarked with a sigh, "Oh dear, there's still so much I need to learn from you..."

"Alright, alright, stop bragging."

Chiaki rolled her eyes. "If you keep bragging, Mr. Ebizo will really be blown away by your boasting."

"Hahaha."

The group burst into laughter. Anyone with eyes could see that this really had nothing to do with Ebizo; it was just a coincidence.

This time, Nara Shikaku really overthought things.

"Okay, okay, stop laughing."

Looking at Ebizo, whose face was flushed from coughing, Chiyo said irritably, "We're about to reach the front lines. Are you making such a racket because you want everyone to know we're here?"

As the older sister, it's still very necessary for me to protect my younger brother.

Even though she herself really wanted to laugh.

The group was getting closer and closer to the location of Onoki and the others mentioned in the report. It was a rather ordinary little village, so ordinary that even Ebizo hadn't noticed it on the map.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, stood ahead, radiating his Kage-level aura, as if waiting for everyone to arrive.

His aura was so overwhelming that even Nara Shikaku and Ebizo did not realize that something was wrong, despite the formidable enemy at hand.

Qianqiu frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

"what happened……"

"I don't recall this part being in the original work..."

After much thought, Qianqiu realized that the original story did not include the part where the Land of Earth fought the Land of Wind.

What is the reason for Onoki's sudden appearance?

Because of me?

Qianqiu looked down at her hands and shook her head.

impossible.

Almost no one knows about his activities in the Land of Wind, which means that Onoki's attack on the Land of Wind this time could not possibly be because of him.

Because of whom?

Chiaki's gaze fell on Rasa, then looked at Nara Shikaku and Ebizo. He felt the answer was about to be revealed, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Ahhh!"

Chiaki scratched her long pink hair in frustration. She felt terrible. If she had Nara Shikaku's super high IQ, combined with her understanding of the original work, she should be able to predict everything, right?

Now... we can only take it one step at a time.

I hope nothing bad happens...

……

Almost simultaneously, all the important figures stationed on the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire received this intelligence.

"The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, personally attacks the Land of Wind to challenge the Fourth Kazekage!"

This news even reached Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"what happened?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply; his years of combat experience and intuition told him that something was wrong.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, would actually challenge the Fourth Kazekage, who had just taken office or hadn't even taken office yet?

What does he want to do?

Everyone knows that the Land of Wind is now allied with the Land of Fire, and without the Kazekage, the Sand Village's fighting strength is rather weak. Onoki's large-scale attack is bound to provoke a full-scale backlash from the Sand Village.

At the same time, Konoha will definitely send people to assist them in order to prevent their allies from suffering heavy losses.

It's not right that Ohnoki is destined to return empty-handed this time.

why?

Wanting revenge because you were tricked?

Personal matters?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and frowned as he pondered.

Given Onoki's personality, it's not impossible, but it doesn't make sense. He must have some other motive!

The key point is, what exactly is this scheme?

Is Ōnoki plotting to seize the Land of Wind?

Or... is he plotting something else?

For example, Chiaki, who is hidden in the Land of Wind?

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples, his head aching. He tossed the scroll aside and called out in a deep voice, "Someone come here!"

Swoosh

An ANBU member appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi, respectfully awaiting his orders.

"Pass down the order: let the front lines make their own arrangements. Send White Fang to the Wind Kingdom to check on Qianqiu's safety. The rest of you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, weighing the pros and cons, before finally letting out a long sigh: "Let's act expediently and try our best to protect the people of the Land of Wind."

Chapter 337 Isn't it because I'm good-looking?

The wind was still.

The sand was lazily lounging.

Onoki floated silently above the village, freely displaying his aura and oppressive presence, making no attempt to conceal his position.

Sensing this aura, the passing ninjas and animals all kept their distance.

Clearly, this powerful Kage-level expert was waiting for someone to arrive.

His imposing presence is the best indicator; as long as you follow his aura, you can find his location.

Below Onoki, the villagers had long been dispersed, and a group of Jonin from the Land of Earth were quietly waiting. They had no indiscriminate killing of innocents; their purpose in accompanying the Tsuchikage on this trip was solely to provide assistance.

After all, Onoki is the Tsuchikage, and it's not good for him to travel alone; he always needs a few helpers.

"Ok?"

"coming."

Onoki, who was resting with his eyes closed in the air, suddenly opened them and shot out his gaze like lightning.

Several dark figures approached from afar, unlike the other creatures that avoided their aura, and went straight to Onoki.

swish swish

The dark figures landed directly in front of Onoki, stirring up a storm.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Third Tsuchikage."

The first to step forward was Luo Sha.

Onoki narrowed his eyes and looked at Rasa. The aura emanating from this man felt somewhat unfamiliar to him, but it was quite obvious from his aura that this man had already reached the Kage level.
