Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 63 Chiyo, Surround! (Long chapter, please subscribe and vote!)

As the sun rises in the east, the ancient land of goodness gradually awakens from its slumber.

Within the king's palace, as a large number of guards were mobilized, orders were quickly relayed to the nobles and ministers residing around the palace, as well as to the three ninja captains of the Ancient Kingdom of Zen.

Such a commotion immediately alerted Ryo Inuzuka and Ryoma Aburame, who were hiding in the shadows.

This is because our own captain made the move.

We'll lure them into the trap and capture them all!

The two immediately followed the three ninjas from the ancient kingdom of Zen, sneaking into the king's palace and lying in ambush outside the main hall where the assembly was taking place.

Inside the hall, noble ministers arrived one after another.

As all the high-ranking officials entered the hall, the doors creaked shut by the guards.

The guards were not manipulated by Hoshino, but were carrying out the king's orders.

After the palace doors closed, the king appeared and sat on the throne.

The noble ministers did not notice anything amiss and all paid their respects.

However, the three ninjas sensed something was wrong with the king, because his eyes and behavior were clearly different, as if he were sleepwalking.

wrong!

The three ninjas exchanged a glance and were about to move when vines grew rapidly beneath their feet, binding their legs.

When?

The three of them were taken aback. Just as they were about to cut the vines, a large number of vines sprang up from the ground and spread rapidly amidst screams and shouts.

In the blink of an eye, the entire spacious hall was filled with trees, and everyone, including the three ninjas, was bound by vines and suspended in the air.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's life force was rapidly draining away, being swallowed up by the vines that entangled them, and their bodies were gradually wasting away.

Hearing the commotion, the soldiers guarding outside the palace were about to open the palace door and rush in when a dark shadow flashed by, and one by one, the soldiers collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"San-tou and Pegasus, you two take charge of the remaining ninjas."

Hoshita Hide's voice reached Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma's ears.

After the two dealt with the soldiers, they exchanged a glance and immediately leaped away.

As expected of the captain, he easily wiped out the high-ranking officials of the Ancient Kingdom of Goodness.

……

Inside the palace, Xingxia Xiu stepped out of the darkness, glanced at the artwork she had created, and then formed a hand seal to create a Wood Release clone that left.

In the morning, the ancient kingdom of Goodness was still peaceful. The crowds passing by on the streets and the children playing and laughing were unaware that the country's top leaders had all been hanged.

The wooden clone darted between buildings and quickly found the person based on the marks left by Yakushi Nonou.

What made Hoshino frown was that there was a little girl, only three or four years old, sleeping soundly on Yakushi Nonou's back.

Looking into the eyes behind Hoshino Shirai's mask, Yakushi Nonou timidly lowered her head.

"Later, take the children to play somewhere a kilometer away."

After saying that, Xingxia Xiu disappeared.

Not long after.

In the area designated by Yakushi Nonou, children from one household walked together, their silvery voices creating a lively atmosphere on the street.

Among this group of children, the stranger, Yakushi Nonou, did not stand out.

the most important is.

Xingxia Xiu used the Nirvana Abode technique on the people in this area, inducing mass hypnosis.

It stands on the roof.

Hoshino watched as Nono, the pharmacist, led a group of children away.

In the end, there's still a sliver of humanity left!

No wonder everyone in the ninja world is mentally unstable.

Xingxia Xiu sighed, a surge of murderous intent welling up in his chest.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

I want to destroy this ugly world!

But for some reason, Hoshino suddenly thought of the Sage of Six Paths.

This guy is dead but still lingers; he's probably spying on us right now, isn't he?

In an instant, Xingxia Xiu's murderous intent vanished without a trace.

"I'm just a nobody, I'm nothing!"

With a self-deprecating laugh, Hoshino Hide estimated that the time was almost up. A Rasengan appeared in his hand, and then the sphere expanded. With a sharp, piercing sound, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken appeared.

Holding the Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken, he pressed it against the ground, and intense light burst outward, forming a huge, ever-expanding sphere of light.

The sphere of light continued to expand outward, and the dense chakra needles pierced through and destroyed everything.

When the sphere of light expanded to a diameter of more than one mile, it suddenly contracted.

Rumble!

The friction of the air currents created a terrifying roar. Centered on the point where the ninjutsu was unleashed, the storm swept outwards, causing houses to collapse and disintegrate wherever it passed, becoming part of the storm.

One kilometer away, the moment Yakushi Nonou saw the ball of light, she led the children to hide behind the wall.

In just a moment, a gale swept in, carrying billowing sand and dust that blotted out the sun, turning the area within several kilometers into a scene of apocalypse, with countless people screaming in panic.

Some people were blown into the air, some were tossed about on the ground by the gale, and some were hit by collapsing buildings...

At this moment, the peace and tranquility of the ancient kingdom of goodness were completely shattered.

……

South of the ancient kingdom of Shan.

Beneath an inconspicuous sand dune, there was a camp.

The Sand Village ninja, who were observing the movements of the Ancient Land of Goodness, saw the blinding ball of light and immediately realized: someone had made a move!

He bit his finger and formed a mudra with his hands.

Spiritual communication!

Bang bang bang!

Smoke rose, and three sand foxes appeared.

"Notify them to take immediate action!"

After the Sand Ninja finished speaking, she released the summoning.

The three sand foxes were stationed at the three sand ninja squads in the east, west, and south of the Ancient Land of Goodness. These sand ninja squads were lurking in the nearby oases.

Despite such a commotion, the smaller oasis, which is much farther away, should also be able to feel it.

But as observers, we must resolutely carry out our tasks.

……

The ancient country of goodness.

After the storm, Yakushi Nonou glanced at the bewildered children whose illusions had been dispelled, then rushed away to the devastated land to begin rescuing the injured.

Inside the King's Palace.

Xingxia Xiu left behind a wooden clone before leaping away.

A moment later, he met up with Ryo Inuzuka and Ryoma Aburame.

"withdraw!"

Xingxia Xiu gave the order and immediately took the lead in retreating northward.

Before they had even left the ancient land of Zen, Aburame Ryoma suddenly said, "Captain, the people from Sunagakure have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Inuzuka Ryo immediately said, "It seems they've been lurking outside all along, observing the movements here."

"Captain, do you think there might be an ambush to the north?"

Xingxia Xiu kept walking and said calmly, "You'll find out soon enough."

at the same time.

The Sand Ninja squad, entering the ancient kingdom of Zen from the east and west, went straight to the location of the king's palace.

When they arrived, all the soldiers had fallen to the ground, but they were only unconscious.

The two teams quickly moved in after only a brief inspection, until they reached the outside of the assembly hall.

But just as they were about to break into the palace, a burst of bright light shot out from within.

"Be careful!"

"spread!"

The two Jonin who reacted the fastest shouted and used the Body Flicker Technique to fly backward.

The intense light quickly engulfed the entire palace and then expanded outwards.

Just as it was about to engulf the Sand Ninja, the sphere of light rapidly contracted, and then, accompanied by a violent roar, the storm swept outwards.

Several Sand Ninja were blown away by the storm before they could react.

Wait until the storm ends.

The Sand Ninja reappeared in a sorry state, but all that remained of the site where the King and other high-ranking officials of the Ancient Kingdom of Goodness had died was a giant crater.

The crime scene of Xingxia Show was completely destroyed.

The two Sand Village Jonin exchanged a glance, then simultaneously ordered, "Chase!"

Swish swish!

The afterimages leaped and bounded, heading straight north.

Meanwhile.

Another place where the Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken erupted.

The busy pharmacist, Nono, had her face covered in sweat and dust, and her clothes were tattered from saving people, as she couldn't reveal her identity as a ninja.

Just as she was struggling to provide the most basic first aid to the injured person, several figures suddenly appeared.

A Sand Ninja squad arrived.

"That's truly astonishing destructive power!"

"That damn guy, he has absolutely no scruples!"

Several sand ninjas spoke up, clearly annoyed.

The latest novel is first published here!

Chiyo frowned, then whispered, "Hurry and save them!"

"clear!"

The three Sand Ninja immediately scattered to rescue the person.

Chiyo flashed and appeared in front of Yakushi Nonou.

Yakushi Nonou was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. Only when she saw the Sunagakure headband on Chiyo did she timidly speak, "You...you're a Sunagakure ninja?"

Chiyo nodded slightly: "Do you know who caused all this?"

Yakushi Nonou shook her head blankly: "I...I don't know either."

Chiyo glanced at the wounded who had received only basic bandages, then squatted down and asked, "Who taught you your medical skills?"

Yakushi Nonou lowered her head slightly: "My father was a samurai, and I learned that from my father and mother."

Seeing the scrapes and abrasions all over Yakushi Nonou's body, Chiyo sighed inwardly, offering no words of comfort. Instead, she stood up and said, "Then help me. I'm a medical ninja; I can save them!"

After saying that, Chiyo began to identify and treat the wounded that the pharmacist Nono had already treated.

Pharmacist Nonou hesitated for a moment, then jogged over to help.

……

On the sand dunes.

Ryoma Aburame caught the flying insect, and after a careful conversation, said to Hideaki Hoshishita, "Captain, two Sand Ninja squads are catching up!"

Hoshita Hide nodded slightly, then formed a hand seal to create a wooden clone that remained behind. He then led Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma in a change of direction, heading east.

When traveling through the desert, you must take routes with oases and water sources, otherwise it is easy to get lost in the vast sea of ​​sand.

Therefore, even if there are likely Sand Ninja waiting for him on the road ahead, Hoshino Hide must take this route.

The three left, and the wooden clone waited for less than a quarter of an hour before several figures appeared in its line of sight.

Two Sand Ninja squads have arrived!

Meanwhile, the Sand Ninja also saw Hoshinobi Shuu.

"Only one person?"

A Sand Ninja raised an eyebrow, then raised one hand, spreading his senses outwards, and quickly said, "Indeed, there is only one person."

"It's very likely just a clone used to buy time."

One of the Sand Village ninja scoffed, "Trying to stall for time with just a clone? They're seriously underestimating us!"

Jonin Captain Sara warned softly, "Don't let your guard down!"

"This guy must be an elite member of Konoha's Anbu."

"Yuta, you guys go first. We'll catch up after we've dealt with this guy!"

The other Jonin captain, Yuta, immediately nodded, then slightly changed direction, preparing to bypass the sand dune where Hoshino was located.

Upon seeing this, Xingxia Xiu immediately clasped his hands together, forming the Si Mudra.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!

After completing the hand seals, Xingxia Xiu waved his hands forward, and a large number of vines sprouted from the sand dunes and grew rapidly, sweeping over the two Sand Ninja teams.

This scene startled the Sand Ninja. Yuta and the other three, who were originally going to go around, immediately stopped and began to form hand seals to unleash ninjutsu.

Wind Release: Thousand Faces of Wind!

Wind Release: Net!

Wind Release: Kamaitachi!

Wind Release: Sandstorm!

……

One after another, wind-style ninjutsu erupted, stirring up terrifying storms, mixed with either sharp wind blades or sharp net-like winds, cutting through everything.

The vines that were spreading forward were immediately cut open and even torn to pieces.

However, new vines continued to grow and extend along the broken surface, and after the storm, they continued to sweep towards the Sand Ninja.

"Damn it, could this be the legendary Wood Release technique?"

"Withdraw one after the other!"

Sara and Yuta, the two Jonin, shouted in succession, their hands forming hand seals and their mouths spewing out air, once again stirring up a storm.

But just as the other Sand Ninja were about to take the opportunity to retreat a distance and prepare their ninjutsu, vines sprouted from the ground behind and around them, wrapping around their bodies like pythons.

"My chakra!"

"Damn it, these vines absorb chakra!"

The Sand Shinobi screamed in terror.

However, after absorbing the chakra of the Sand Ninja, the vines grew and spread at an even faster rate, enveloping everyone.

Sara and Yuta, the two Jonin, changed their expressions drastically and quickly drew their swords, cutting off the vines that were sweeping towards them.

They moved with incredible speed, trying to rescue their companions, but found it impossible.

"Charge out, or we'll get bogged down in these things too!"

Sha Liang shouted.

Yuta glanced at his companion, gritted his teeth, abandoned the idea of ​​saving people, and rushed outside.

However, just as Yuta rushed out of the woods, a figure suddenly appeared.

Yuta was startled and drew his sword to defend himself.

Xingxia Xiu kicked the blade, the terrifying force sending him and the blade flying, crashing into the tree realm.

As soon as Yuta rolled over to his feet, two vines bound his hands, then his feet, and finally his torso.

"Damn it..."

Yuta cursed under his breath, released his ninja sword with his right hand, and simultaneously pointed his fingers together, gathering wind chakra at his fingertips to form extremely sharp wind blades.

Wind Release: Wind Blade!

The wind blades that shot from his fingertips severed the vines.

As he landed, Yuta waved his hands, sending out wind blades that severed all the sweeping vines.

the other side.

Sha Liang stared wide-eyed at Xingxia Xiu's dark skin beneath the knife, then looked down.

His abdomen was pierced by a wooden splinter. As he bent over, the splinter branched out and grew inside his body, piercing his belly and splattering blood all over his body.

The corpse fell, and Xingxia Xiu turned and charged into the Tree Realm.

Moments later, Jonin Yuta was entangled by dense vines, his chakra being continuously devoured. More and more vines grew, completely engulfing him. Buried.

Wood Release: Tree Binding Eternal Burial!

He took down two Sand Ninja squads in one go, and his wood clone immediately turned into a towering tree.

……

As night fell, the border of the River Country came into view.

The black ball on Inuzuka Ryo's shoulder suddenly started barking wildly.

"Captain, there's an ambush!"

Inuzuka Ryo whispered.

The three stopped and looked at the jungle ahead, which seemed like a ferocious beast ready to devour life.

At that moment, insects flew from behind and landed on Aburame Ryoma.

"Captain, we're surrounded!"

Aburame Ryomado.

I need to keep vigil at the ancestral hall tonight, so this should be the only chapter today. Please forgive me.
