Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Faced with danger, they unconsciously moved closer to the stronger Maki.

"Master Maki, what happened? One tail was split apart?"

Maki's face darkened as he cleaned the sand off his head. "It looks like even Yiwei can't defeat him..."

"Master Maki, what should we do?"

Maki said in a deep voice: "It is not a pity for us to die, but what happened today must be..."

Before he could finish his words, Yang Xi's voice came over.

"What are you whispering about there? Are you trying to pass on information? Sorry, you are not allowed to do so!"

Before he finished speaking, a huge tornado shot out from a green circle of light on Yang Xi's body.

"Ginlun Reincarnation Explosion."

The powerful force directly swept Maki and the other two into it. Wind blades cut their bodies, and they had to be alert and careful to deal with it.

It was not until the wind died down and the tornado disappeared that Maki and the other two were thrown to the ground, lying on the ground in tattered clothes, groaning in pain.

Only after making sure that they had temporarily lost their ability to move did Yang Xi withdraw his gaze.

At this time, the yellow sand that had been falling from the sky had stopped falling.

The ground had changed color, and a layer of obvious yellow sand appeared on top. From a distance, it looked like we were in a desert.

Then, the yellow sand slowly gathered together and condensed into a stable shape.

The huge yellow civet cat appeared in front of everyone again.

At this moment, Shukaku was angry and anxious, his expression was listless, and the whole beast no longer had the flamboyant look it had just had.

With a clear target, Yang Xi released the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion at it without saying a word.

"Let's end it here before anyone else comes."

"Damn it!" Shukaku roared, but was afraid of the power of the chakra lightsaber. He panicked and used his power to control the sand to condense a sand shield.

However, it was in vain, the shield did not even cause the chakra lightsaber to delay for half a moment.

Its body was split apart again.

After seriously injuring Shukaku, Yang Xi walked up to Maki and the others and killed them.

-----------------

"That's the sound of fighting coming from there..."

When the Cloud Ninjas came to check, only the bodies of Maki and the other two were still lying on the ground.

As for Gaara, Yang Xi had already carried him away as he was seriously injured and unconscious.

And at the place where the battle took place, the ground seemed to be broken. Not only was there a sinkhole, but it also seemed as if it had experienced crustal movement. A good piece of land was cut into pieces that looked like they were pieced together.

And those cracks in the ground seemed bottomless at first glance.

The Cloud Ninjas carefully walked over to where Maki and the other two were lying and checked for their presence.

"He's dead..."

"They seem to be the people who entered the village today."

"There's still one child missing."

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They could only take these people back to the Hidden Cloud Village and report the information here to Yu Mu Ren.

After listening to their report, Yu Mu Ren frowned and asked, "Are there no other clues?"

The returning Cloud Ninja kept shaking his head.

Yu Muren sighed helplessly.

The Sand Village inexplicably sent a team of ninjas here, and they inexplicably died in the Land of Thunder. Could they be trying to do something tricky?

After thinking for a while, she said: "Send these dead people back to the Sand Village."

So, the Hidden Cloud Village simply sent people to return the bodies of Maki and others to the Sand Village.

After receiving the news, Rasa, who was in the Sand Village, was first confused and then furious.

"What? Maki and the others are dead? Gaara is missing too? Could he be detained by the people of the Hidden Cloud Village?"

Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he might have been plotted against by Konoha and Kumogakure.

Out of nowhere, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared and said that there was something strange in the Hidden Cloud Village and that only Gaara could see it.

It was obvious that he wanted him to send Gaara into the tiger's mouth.

He deliberately gave him Konoha's sealing technique just to gain his trust.

Otherwise, why would Minato Namikaze mention the Hidden Cloud Village, and why would Gaara disappear in the Land of Lightning?

All this is such a coincidence!

There can't be no connection between the two.

"Mr. Namikaze Minato is a Konoha man, and he will die for Konoha. With his personality, how could he possibly unite with other forces to deal with Konoha? He is a man who can die for Konoha!"

"He simply wants to secretly increase Konoha's strength and weaken other villages."

"A few days ago, we received intelligence that he helped Konoha fight off strange enemies. If he had hostility towards Konoha, why would he go back to help?"

"He should be hoping that Konoha will be destroyed. I shouldn't have trusted him."

"Konoha is full of tricks! They have joined forces with the Hidden Cloud Village. One is responsible for spreading false information, and the other is for luring people into a trap."

"Tsunade is in the open, and Minato Namikaze is operating in the dark, in order to lure people from other villages into the trap."

Thinking about it this way, everything seemed to make sense, and Luo Sha felt even more that Minato Namikaze had ulterior motives.

Chapter 177: Sand Ninja and Cloud Ninja War

Gaara's importance to the Sand Village is self-evident. In anger, the Sand Village went directly to the Hidden Cloud Village to ask for Gaara and confronted him.

Yunyinfang was speechless.

Is there anything wrong with them sending people to the Sand Village with good intentions?

What did they have to do with the fact that those ninjas were killed because of their lack of strength? Why were they blamed for it?

Near the territory of the Kingdom of Thunder, the two parties set up tents and started a war of words.

The Sand Ninjas demanded that Kumogakure hand over Gaara and be responsible for the deaths of Maki and others.

"As people who meet the Raikage, their status is equivalent to that of a messenger. The Hidden Cloud Village killed the Sand Ninja messenger. This is a provocation!"

The Cloud Ninjas of course refused to accept this and kept saying that the person was already dead when they arrived at the scene.

As for Gaara, I've never seen him!

"Don't go too far. They were killed outside the Hidden Cloud Village. It has nothing to do with our village! If you want to blame someone, you should blame the poor ninja skills of you Sand Ninja!"

But the Sand Ninjas simply wouldn't listen to these words. They were like resentful women in the boudoir and kept demanding that the Hidden Cloud Village be held responsible for this matter.

"Gaara is the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. You must return him! Otherwise..."

"What else?" The Cloud Ninjas interrupted the Sand Ninja representative, shrugging off the threat.

These war terrorists from the Hidden Cloud Village have ever been afraid of anyone. In the past, they were the only ones who could scare others!

Even if it is Konoha, the strongest of the five major ninja villages, they still dare to confront and fight, let alone the last-ranked Sand Village.

"What Jinchuriki? Are you saying that the red-haired kid is the one-tailed Jinchuriki of your village?" The Arikumo ninja suddenly realized something.

"That's right. The Jinchūriki is a matter of great importance. The Hidden Cloud Village is provoking the public's nerves by doing this, which is tantamount to provoking a war!"

The Kumogakure party was immediately furious, "If you didn't tell me, how would anyone know that he was a Jinchūriki?"

"I think it's you, the Sand Village, who want to cause trouble!"

"How could a Jinchuriki bring something so dangerous into the Hidden Cloud Village without a word?"

"What do you want to do? Do you want to take this opportunity to attack Lord Raikage?"

The Cloud Ninjas were talking to each other, spitting everywhere.

In their opinion, doesn't the Sand Village have ulterior motives?

Why bring the Jinchūriki to their Land of Lightning for no reason? If he gets out of control by accident, it will be a disaster equivalent to Konoha's "Nine-Tails Rebellion"!

Except for someone with Kage-level strength, who can defeat the tailed beasts?

The Sand Village is clearly harboring evil intentions!

Thinking of this, their attitude became even more violent, and the looks they gave the Sand Ninjas became even more unfriendly.

The Sand Ninjas had no explanation for this, they could only say in a tough manner: "Gaara disappeared in the Land of Lightning, and the Hidden Cloud Village should help the Sand Ninja Village find him."

The Kumogakure representative was very impatient, "I repeat, we have no idea where the One-Tailed Jinchuriki went. The people of Kumogakure saw them leave the village with their own eyes, and everything that happened afterwards has nothing to do with us."

"But……"

"No buts. There's nothing to talk about. It's meaningless to continue. If the Sand Village wants to cause trouble, the Cloud Village is happy to accompany it."

After saying that, regardless of the gloomy faces of the Sand Ninjas, the Cloud Village representative waved his hand, turned around and left with his companions, disappearing from the sight of the Sand Ninjas.

At this time, some of the Cloud Ninjas who had experienced the Third Ninja World War could not help but recall the old news.

Back then, the fuse for the war launched by the Sand Village was the disappearance of the Third Kazekage. How similar is it to the present?

Some people even think that the deaths of Maki and others were staged by the Sand Village and deliberately framed the Hidden Cloud Village.

As for the tailed beasts, they might have already taken them away on their own.

The purpose is to provoke a war like in the past.

Although the Sand Village has always been at the bottom of the five major ninja villages, it does not mean that they have no ambitions.

In fact, such weak villages are often the craziest, with the courage and determination to go all out.

Every war is a battle for village destiny for them.

"The people of the Hidden Cloud Village are too arrogant." After they left, the Sand Ninjas looked gloomy, but they could only return to the village in shame and report the matter to the Fourth Kazekage.

In the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Cloud Ninja in charge of the negotiations relayed the conversation with the Sand Ninjas and even put forward his own guesses and suggestions.

"Lord Raikage, this matter is most likely caused by the Sand Village itself."

"They are trying to repeat what they did to Konoha. They want to use the death of a few ninjas as a legitimate reason to start a war against the village."

"Why don't we take the initiative and attack the Sand Village directly."

The wooden man covered his forehead helplessly, his veins throbbing.

Is there any calm person in this village? Why are they all fanatical warmongers?

"The land of Lightning Country is barren, and there is no reason for the Sand Village to have any ideas about us."

"Similarly, the Wind Country doesn't have any rare resources. Attacking the Sand Village will only be a waste of time and effort and manpower. It will not bring any benefits to us." She said calmly.

"But you must always be on guard against others." The Cloud Ninja continued to comfort.

"..." Yu Mu Ren was in deep thought.

-----------------

The Country of Wind, Sand Ninja Village.

"Get out, all of you! Damn Konoha, cunning Minato Namikaze!" An enraged Rasa was furious in the office.

At this moment, there was nothing he could do except feel helpless and furious.

Start a war? Without the One-tail, the Sand Village, which was already at the bottom of the five major ninja villages, became even weaker. How could it dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble?

The staff in the office ran out trembling with fear.

An old man with white eyebrows and a gaunt face appeared from a certain direction, pushed open the office door, and walked in with an indifferent expression.

In the office, documents with black words on a white background were scattered all over the floor.

Glancing at Rasa who was sitting on the seat of the Kazekage, Ebizo bent his hunched body, picked up a few documents on the ground, and casually placed them on Rasa's desk. His understated tone carried a sense of majesty without even being angry.

"Lord Fengying, who has offended you again?"
