Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 155 Three Thousand Iron Cavalry Destroy Konoha!

Did Sunagakure send a ninja team to Loulan?

Suzuki frowned.

Thinking back to the original future, the Loulan that had been saved by Naruto and Minato Namikaze had become a ruin more than ten years later.

He couldn't help but suspect that this might be due to the attacks and sabotage inflicted by the Sand Village ninja during this war.

But Loulan is now his territory.

Suzuki looked at Yakushi Nonou and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, I'll go over there."

As he spoke, Suzuki paused, a slight smile appearing in his eyes.

Just now, his Observation Haki sensed an unexpected visitor near the base.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came to our door seeking refuge.

Suzuki looked out the window with a smile, then stood up and added to Yakushi Nonou:

"We have a guest outside, who might become your colleague. Nonou, could you go and greet him later?"

"By the way, he's the red-haired puppeteer, Sasori of the Red Sand."

Yakushi Nonou was somewhat taken aback, but quickly recovered and bowed slightly, saying, "Yes, Suzuki-kun."

At this moment, Suzuki's figure had already disappeared from the room.

……

Meanwhile, Chiyo's grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand, who killed the Third Kazekage and caused the Ninja War, has arrived near the Ark Maxim.

While the fast-running duck is common in the deserts of the Land of Wind, it is relatively rare in the Land of Waves.

At this moment, people at the dock stopped and looked over with curiosity when they saw a handsome red-haired boy riding a fast duck, and the fast duck was even wearing armor.

However, Scorpion ignored them, holding the Den Den Mushi with a puzzled expression.

Is this the place?

Scorpion carefully surveyed his surroundings, but found nothing unusual except for the dock, the sea, the beach, and a few forests.

"Did we take the wrong turn?"

Just as he was wondering where to find the base, a gentle female voice rang out.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Scorpion. Suzuki asked me to pick you up."

Scorpion turned his head and saw a long-haired, gentle woman with glasses standing not far away with a smile on her face.

Are they from Suzuki?

Scorpion nodded without hesitation, and then followed Yakushi Nonou as they walked and talked all the way to the base.

Before long, gasps of surprise rang out from within the base.

"Siguo Yi, what kind of metal is this? It's so thin yet so hard. If I could use it as a material, I'd definitely be able to make even better puppets!"

"Wait, a Devil Fruit? There are such amazing fruits in the ninja world?"

"What kind of seashell is this? Wow, Ms. Nonou, is amazing! Can I get some to put on my puppet?"

……

Outside the city gates of Loulan, the land of winds.

A battle is breaking out here.

"Wind Release: Crush!"

A fierce wind blew, and the yellow sand within hundreds of meters was mercilessly swirled up, crashing towards the Sand Ninja like ocean waves.

"Damn it! How did this wretched place become so prosperous, and how did it become home to such a powerful ninja?"

The captain of the Sand Ninja squad looked at Kakuzu with a somewhat flustered expression.

He had lived in Sunagakure for so many years and had never seen a ninja use such a terrifying Wind Release technique!

"Captain? What do we do?"

"Are we going to die?"

Several Sand Ninja in the squad looked on in panic as the yellow sand surged towards them like waves.

Loulan was originally just a small city struggling to survive in the desert. Because it was located in the Land of Wind, it used to have to rely on Sunagakure in many places.

However, now...

No, we have to escape! We must tell the village this information; this small country is already a threat to the village!

As a Jonin of Sunagakure, the captain of the Sunagakure squad is very decisive.

"Wind Release: Wind Wall!"

"The Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

He completely ignored his teammates and immediately activated his Body Flicker Technique to escape Loulan.

"Hmph, I once fought against Hashirama Senju. How dare a mere Sand Ninja act so arrogantly in front of me?"

Kakuzu glanced at the panicked Sand Ninja and sneered disdainfully.

What? He actually fought against the First Hokage of Konoha, the God of Shinobi?

The Sand Ninja squad leader looked shocked, and even paused in his escape.

very scary!

No wonder it's so powerful!

"Lightning Release! False Darkness!"

However, before the Sand Ninja squad leader could recover from the shock, a sharp lightning spear flew swiftly and pierced through his chest in an instant.

"No……"

The Sand Ninja squad leader stared in horror at his chest before collapsing into the yellow sand, his body turning to dust.

Kakuzu, with a cold expression, walked over and dug out several Sand Ninja who were buried and barely alive in the yellow sand. He then picked up the body of the Sand Ninja squad leader and headed towards the Dragon Vein.

……

Not long after, the dragon vein was sealed.

"Did you tell the boss about this?"

Kakuzu glared at Shennong and threw the Sand Shinobi in his hand to the ground.

"Didn't I say I could handle this? Look at these Sand Ninja, what's so great about them? I've killed countless of them before. With me in Loulan, there won't be any problems!"

Shennong smiled wryly and said helplessly to Jiao Du:

"It's not that we don't trust you; we all know your capabilities."

"But with Sand Ninja squads disappearing and dying one after another here, Sunagakure will definitely take it seriously; after all, it's a major ninja village!"

As he spoke, Shennong's face showed a hint of doubt:

"Moreover, that seedling seems to..."

What happened to the sacred tree sapling?

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shennong, Kakuzu, and the others quickly turned around and saw Suzuki's figure suddenly appear behind them, calmly looking at them.

"Lord Suzuki!"

"Lord Suzuki!"

"..."

All the base members immediately bowed in respect.

Suzuki gestured to stop the greetings and continued to look at Shennong, asking:

What happened to the sacred tree sapling?

"Uh..." Shennong said apologetically, bowing his head slightly.

"Lord Suzuki, that seedling is clearly a plant, but recently it has inexplicably grown a tail and legs, and at the same time it has become very agitated."

"We truly cannot understand the cause of this strange change, so we have been forced to disturb your cultivation. We apologize!"

"Oh?"

Suzuki turned his head to look at the strangely shaped seedlings at the dragon vein seal.

This is……

Ten-Tails form?

Shennong didn't know, but he still had some understanding of it.

The Divine Tree is a life form that is half plant and half animal, and it has many forms. It can not only absorb the world's energy as a tree, but also transform into the Ten-Tails to become a weapon to destroy the world!

Suzuki smiled as he watched the seedlings waving their tentacle-like tails.

So that's how it is. So you've grown to this level...

Then, he looked at the crowd whose faces were filled with fear and anxiety, and comforted them:

"Don't worry, this is a normal change, not an accident."

"As for mania..."

Suzuki lowered his eyes and pondered for a while.

His Ten-Tails was cultivated using the incomplete parts of Kaguya Otsutsuki's Ten-Tails.

Perhaps it longs to return to the womb?

That being the case...

Suzuki looked at Kakuzu and calmly ordered, "Mr. Kakuzu, please come with me and capture the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure."

"Okay, boss!"

……

At the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

Bunpuku, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, was dispatched to the battlefield by Sunagakure at this time.

however……

The strength of Sunagakure in this war was unexpected not only by Konoha, but even by themselves.

"kill--"

"Hahaha, the ninjas of Konoha have become so weak!"

"Go to hell!"

"Quack quack quack..."

Thousands of Sand Ninja rode fully armed running ducks, rushing across the battlefield at breakneck speed, overwhelming the Konoha ninja forces that outnumbered them several times over, displaying an unstoppable force!

This is a cavalry unit that Sunagakure has been secretly training for a long time.

The deceased Third Kazekage was never an incompetent person, nor was he lacking in courage and boldness.

After discovering these fast-running ducks, he not only used them to revitalize the economy of Sunagakure, but also secretly trained duck cavalry. He even had Chiyo lead a puppet army to create a batch of puppet armor specifically for these ducks!

With the help of the puppet armor and the wind-style ninjutsu that almost all Sand Ninja are good at, the Run Ducks ran like crazy!

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

A burst of flame was sprayed toward several Sand Ninja cavalrymen, but they easily dodged it.

"Damn! They're so fast!"

Having just graduated this year, Sarutobi Asuma, who was sent to the battlefield, clenched his fists and looked resentful as he watched the Sand Ninja dodge his attack.

"Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!"

Several Sand Ninja cavalrymen, after dodging the flames, circled back and launched an attack on Asuma.

"Be careful!"

An elder of the Sarutobi clan quickly pulled Asuma aside.

"Hehehehe... It's no use!"

"Combination Ninjutsu, Wind Release: Hundred Streams Wind Cutter!"

In an instant, the Sand Ninja cavalrymen around them simultaneously formed hand seals, and hundreds of sharp wind blades appeared, flying rapidly towards the Konoha ninjas from all directions.

"ah--"

"My legs, my legs..."

"Water escape, water formation wall!"

"No, don't..."

"Run! These Sand Ninja are too strong, we can't possibly be a match for them!"

In a short period of time, Konoha suffered over a hundred casualties among its ninjas.

The blood instantly stained the surrounding land crimson.

Faced with such a cunning yet terrifying opponent, many Konoha ninjas even considered fleeing the battlefield.

"Damn it! These ducks are too fast! Many of our ninjas can't keep up, and even those who do are forced back by their attacks. What do we do?"

Akimichi Choza's face and body were covered in dust, making him look quite disheveled.

"No, we have to find a way to restrict the ducks' movements!"

Watching the Sand Ninja relentlessly roaming the battlefield and cutting through everything in their path, Konoha's deputy commander-in-chief, Nara Shikaku, looked anxious.

This was the first time he had encountered such a war and such a situation.

Because they had mounts, the Sand Ninja had plenty of chakra and could almost always launch a wind blade while riding on the back of a duck, making them virtually free to move around the Konoha army.

As a fast-running duck carefully selected from tens of thousands of ducks and rigorously trained, it not only runs fast but also has excellent endurance.

Even in the current Sunagakure village, there are less than two thousand of them, and those who can be selected as Sand Riders are basically Chunin from Sunagakure.

At this moment, these Sand Ninja cavalrymen displayed an offensive on the battlefield that made the Konoha ninjas feel despair!

Meanwhile, Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, caught a glimpse of this scene and burst into unrestrained laughter:

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"So Konoha is nothing special after all. If I had three thousand iron cavalry, I would surely raze your Konoha Village to the ground!"
