While Tsunade was still thinking about how to make money, in the forest of the Land of Fire, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan had already escorted the envoy of Sunagakure for a day.
Escorting is a nicer way of saying it, but in essence it's still surveillance, to prevent Suna ninjas from wreaking havoc in the Land of Fire.
Up until now, the Third Kazekage and Chiyo were still being carried by two Uchiha ninjas. From this point of view, they had indeed followed the orders of the Third Hokage.
—The Kazekage and Chiyo cannot be delivered to them before leaving the border of the Land of Fire.
Since they are all ninjas and they are always on the road, they will reach the border of the Land of Fire in almost two hours.
The one who was most protected at this time was Uchiha Fugaku. With him as the center, all the Uchiha ninjas were moving at his speed, which was also the reason for the slow speed.
Looking at Fugaku being protected, Ma Sha showed disdain. If it weren't for the Third Kazekage and Chiyo, he would have ordered the other party to be left far behind.
It seems that the Uchiha clan not only produces geniuses, but also occasionally produces waste.
However, Masha didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Since he had paid a lot of benefits, there was no need to ask for trouble at this time.
Of course, the most important thing is that in his heart he regards himself and the Third Hokage as ninjas of the same level. So wouldn't being angry with these escorting ninjas lower his level
He wouldn't do such a price drop.
Just like this, there are two teams, one with evil intentions and the other with pretentiousness, but they get along peacefully along the way.
Soon, two hours passed like this, and the next step was to reach the country of Kawakawa.
"Can you return our Third Kazekage and Elder Chiyo to us now?"
Masha's cold tone sounded as if the ninja in front of him were nothing more than insignificant weeds.
But the Uchiha clan was famous for their arrogance, and they looked down upon the ninjas in the village, let alone ninjas from a defeated country.
So immediately an Uchiha ninja jumped out to express his dissatisfaction and was about to taunt him, but the next moment, he was stopped by Uchiha Fugaku.
"Give them the hostages."
After stopping this rash Uchiha ninja, Uchiha Fugaku chuckled and said to the ninja next to him.
"Yes!" Since it was the order of the young clan leader, the Uchiha ninjas did not disobey the truth.
Ma Sha let out a sigh, feeling a little better about the young patriarch whom he rated as "trash". At the same time, he waved his hand and let his subordinates pass over Chiyo and the Third Kazekage who were still unconscious.
"Then ninjas of Konoha, let's say goodbye here." After confirming the safety of Kazekage and Chiyo, Masa said hello and began to prepare to evacuate towards the Kingdom of Wind.
He needed to bring Kazekage back to the village as soon as possible. Sunagakure Village was now leaderless and in chaos. Not only did he need someone to take charge of the overall situation, but he also needed someone to take the blame from the Daimyo.
It just so happens that Kazekage and Chiyo each have their uses.
But after only walking a few hundred meters, he keenly sensed something unusual about the surrounding environment, and there seemed to be chakra fluctuations on the ground.
Are these grandsons of Konoha planning to do something evil
Needless to say, the reflexes of a Kage-level ninja were already completed in the next second.
Swish, brush, brush!
Three earth walls in a row completely surrounded the Sand Ninja, and at the same time, the ground rose upwards, completely isolating several people.
Sure enough, the originally flat ground turned like mud, and then countless detonating symbols made tearing sounds, covering the land.
Konoha really wants to do something evil!
Standing in the crowd, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the explosion in front of him, and the pleasure of revenge ignited in his heart. Then he waved his hand and said: "Do it!"
As his words fell, the six dragon fire techniques condensed, with the blessing of wind escape, hit the sand ninja in the smoke.
Facing this fire escape composed of many ninjas, the earth formation wall was naturally unstoppable, but those who could be brought by Ma Sha were naturally elites.
I saw a few special steel wires thrown out of the mouth of one of the sand ninja's puppets in an instant. These special steel wires flashed with a cold light and quickly passed through the incorporeal fire escape.
Specially refined steel wires cannot be burned by simple flames, but they can't do anything else.
Next, it’s up to you.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet Technique!"
An equally huge fire escape was generated by a large amount of chakra, split into six along the steel wire, and instantly entangled with the dragon fire.
The power of the Flame Bullet Technique is definitely not as powerful as that of the Fire Dragon, but the Ninjutsu of walking along the special wire must have its own uniqueness.
Just like now, although the Fire Dragon cannot stop it, when the two jutsu are mixed with each other, they begin to mix slowly. The Uchiha clan's amazingly powerful mixed ninjutsu is actually guided by the special steel wire. The wires that have been set in other directions flow away.
"Master Martha, do you want to launch a signal flare?"
One of the four sand ninjas who were protecting Masa, the unconscious Third Kazekage and Chiyo at the Earth Release Center asked.
"No hurry!" Masha waved his hand.
Naturally, he brought more than four subordinates with him on this mission, but as a defeated country and rushing to Konoha, to be honest, it was useless to bring many Suna ninjas.
In addition, the third generation Hokage usually has a good reputation, and they are going to send money, so there must be no worries about safety. Therefore, when Martha entered the Land of Fire, he brought four Suna Ninja with him, and the others Stationed in the Kingdom of Sichuan.
Therefore, he really didn't expect this trick played by the Konoha ninja.
But after calming down, Ma Sha realized that something was a little strange. Is this really an order from the Third Hokage
Or... a simple Uchiha ninja acting without authorization
The meanings of these two representatives are naturally completely different.
If it was the former, Masha immediately left with the four people without even thinking about it.
But if it's the latter...
Do you really think that I am a clay figure with no anger at all
Masha couldn't make a decision for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that with the Third Hokage's magnanimity, he would not do such a sneaky and bottomless thing, let alone send Uchiha ninjas, but directly send several of his apprentices. ...
It seems that it can only be the unauthorized action of the Uchiha clan!
Before, he was wondering why the other party brought so many ninjas. He thought it was to protect the young clan leader. But now it seemed that it was not a temporary move, but a long-planned move.
No wonder they have to cross the border before attacking. If something goes wrong, they won't be held responsible.
After thinking about this, Masha decisively ordered: "The four of you now take Chiyo and Kazekage-sama to join the troops. I will stop you here. After we meet, let them come to support. I want to eat these Konoha." Ninja!”
"This... Sir, the agreement you just signed, will anything happen if you do this?"
"No. This is not an order from the Third Hokage, and I will lure them to the Kingdom of Kawa, as long as they are not within the Kingdom of Fire. Go!"
"yes!"
Since the leader Ma Sha had taken such a stance this time, several of his subordinates had no choice but to obey the order.
"What should I do, young patriarch?"
Seeing several Suna ninjas preparing to run away, a group of Uchiha ninjas also surrounded Uchiha Fugaku.
Although many powerful ninjas were brought this time, as the young clan leader, the command naturally rests with him.
"It seems that Masha is preparing to stop us alone to buy time for his subordinates. In this case..." Fugaku hesitated and continued: "The whole team is pressing forward and kill Masha!"
Previously in Daming Mansion, his childhood friend died tragically at the hands of Sand Ninja, and it was at that time that the two magatama were opened.
Therefore, Fugaku hated Suna Ninja very much. If he just let the Suna Ninja leave without killing anyone, he would be unwilling to do so anyway.
What's more, among the ninjas who came this time, in addition to a quasi-kage level, there were four elite jounin, and the rest were only jounin and special jounin.
If this configuration was better coordinated, it would be easy to kill Ma Sha, who was almost sixty years old.
This can be regarded as a comfort to the dead tribesmen.
"Young Clan Leader, the Clan Leader gave instructions when we came here. We are only allowed to attack in the Land of Fire, and we are not allowed to pursue them across the border." One of the elite Jonin said.
"But my father also said that we should make decisions based on the situation here. Now there is only Ma Sha, and there are so many ninjas among us, are you scared?!"
"Can... "
"If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility. The best I can do is not pursue it further."
"... yes!"
"Since no one has any objections..." Fugaku stood up and began to order:
"The whole team is pressing forward. Once this is done, we will return to the village!"
