On the sea, a wooden boat cut through the thick night and headed towards the shore.
When the boat ran aground along the waves in the shallow sea, a ninja jumped down from it. This man was about forty years old and had an exaggerated beard, which added a bit of ferocity.
He is wearing clothes that are very characteristic of the Land of Wind, and he wears a Sunagakure forehead protector on his forehead. Judging from various details, it shows that he is a Sunagakure ninja.
Yes, this person is none other than the One-Tailed Jinchuuriki Singa.
Slightly different from the information Konoha learned, Xin Ya did not appear on the battlefield, but went directly deep into the territory of Kawa no Kuni.
Of course, it cannot be said that the spy's information is false, but the order has been slightly adjusted. Xinya's current mission is to first destroy Konoha's long supply line, and then return to the battlefield to start hunting activities.
In Sunagakure's view, the biggest problem in Konoha is the supply line. They need to be transported from the bridgehead of the Country of Fire to the territory of the Country of Sichuan, and then sent in batches to the Country of Wind station.
Going through three countries, this is really a long supply line, but there are too many places for sneak attacks.
Since the target was the Kingdom of Sichuan, there was no need for Xin Ya to risk being discovered by walking through enemy-occupied territory. Instead, he chose a more reliable waterway and entered the Kingdom of Sichuan by boat.
I don’t know if the Third Kazekage made such adjustments by accident, or if he had anticipated it and deliberately guarded against a spy. In short, the effect was very good. Now Uchiha Tatsumi, who was sent to ambush Xingya, is still eating sand in the Kingdom of Wind. Woolen cloth.
In fact, from a practical point of view, now is not the best time to sneak into the country of Sichuan.
Not only did Konoha have spies, Sunagakure also had spies, and it was impossible for such a large-scale operation as Konoha to send two thousand reinforcements to hide from the spies.
In other words, Xinya's activity time was not long. Once the reinforcements rushed to the Kingdom of Sichuan, he had to leave. Otherwise, with a force of two thousand ninjas, it would be easy to find him in the small Kingdom of Sichuan.
War is like this. It is impossible for one side to have an absolute advantage. Certain tasks must be performed regardless of good or bad conditions.
After hiding the boat, Xin Ya immediately ran towards the confirmed material storage point.
This material storage point is information that has been determined for a long time. In addition, there are three transportation routes that have been discovered by the Sunagakure ninja, and they are also the objects that he needs to take care of in this operation.
After twenty minutes of walking, when he was about to walk out of the desert, Xinya relied on his ears and discovered in advance that an enemy team of four was approaching.
Find a cave to hide in? But it was already too late. The Country of Sichuan was mostly in the Gobi desert. Except for some large rocks that could be used as simple shields, the rest of the area could be said to be unobstructed.
Therefore... it is more reliable to use the advantage of early discovery to deal with the enemy.
Defeating and killing enemies is not the key. The key is to deal with them quietly. Once there is an obvious noise or an eye-catching battle in the silent night, if there are other enemies nearby, It is bound to be attracted, and Xinya is likely to be exposed.
Exposure is not terrible, but it would not be beautiful if the Konoha ninjas at the supply storage point were aware of it due to early exposure.
Xinya hid behind a huge boulder. Although the moonlight was very good, he did not stick his head out to observe the enemy's movements. He only relied on the enemy's footsteps to judge the distance.
He is waiting for the other party to actively enter his attack range.
And as they arrived, there was actually the sound of conversation.
"Captain, I heard that the front line achieved a great victory under the command of Lord Orochimaru. Is this true?"
"It's true... I have a friend who just retreated from the battlefield. He said that it was more than a great victory. In that battle, Lord Tatsu almost captured Commander Sunagakure alive."
"Then will we end the war early?" Another ninja asked with hope in his voice.
The captain didn't speak, but another voice said, "Well, I think everyone should be more careful. After all, we are on patrol, and there might be Sunagakure ninjas infiltrating."
"Don't worry. Although we have entered a high-alert state, after all, we have just carried out a large-scale operation. Even if we want to launch a new offensive, it will take time to prepare. How can it be so fast? What's more, even if someone infiltrates, it will not Choose the Country of Sichuan.”
Xin Ya listened to their words and realized that someone in the secret passage had guessed correctly, and that a ninja had indeed infiltrated from this position.
But... chatting openly during a mission is too lazy. Don't you know that the sound will travel far in the night
Do these Konoha ninjas think they are safe in the rear areas far away from the battlefield
At this time, with the conversation, the enemy has entered the attack range.
Xinya's figure was like an arrow, and he suddenly flew out and punched away. The Konoha ninja standing at the front did not react and flew backwards, landing on a stone.
"It's Sunagakure's bastard!"
Seeing his captain being attacked, a ninja jumped up and shot Xingya with a kunai in his hand. At the same time, the other two ninjas rushed over from both sides with tacit understanding.
Bang bang bang.
Xinya held a kunai in one hand and deflected all the shurikens and kunai that were shot at him. At the same time, he dodged and disappeared from the pinch of the two Konoha ninjas.
Seeing the enemy disappear, the three ninjas were obviously stunned.
"It's not a good habit to be stunned during a battle!"
When the three of them were surprised, Xinya, who suddenly disappeared, had already teleported to the farthest ninja.
Bang!
He punched the opponent on the cheek, a heart-wrenching sound was heard, and at the same time, the whole person flew backwards like a broken sack.
"Damn it!" Looking at the two companions who fell to the ground in an instant, a ninja shouted angrily and immediately formed seals with his hands.
But just when his seal was about to be completed, a pair of pale hands reached out from the ground, suddenly grabbed his ankles, and pulled him underground.
This is the earth clone that Xin Ya has long separated, and it has been hiding under the ground.
The only remaining Konoha ninja watched his teammates all fall. He hurriedly took out the flare from his ninja bag and prepared to sound the alarm.
But it was already too late at this time, Xinya's figure appeared in front of him, and with a flash of cold light, kunai crossed his throat.
All this seems cumbersome, but in fact it only happens in a matter of ten seconds.
Looking at all four people who fell to the ground, Xin Ya took care of the battlefield, then walked into the thick night and began his hunting mission.
…
…
One day later, Konoha was stationed in the Country of Wind.
The sound of footsteps came, and a ninja opened the tent in the center of the camp.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru raised his head and squinted at the ninja who walked in. Before he could ask a question, the other party had already handed a scroll to him.
"According to the information sent back by the ninjas of the Kawa Country, it is suspected that traces of a Jinchūriki have been found." The ninja said.
"Kawa no Kuni...?" Orochimaru frowned slightly, this was not in line with the expected situation.
"Yes, from the night before yesterday to the day yesterday, four teams have lost information. The material storage point in Kokura Castle was also attacked and suffered heavy losses. According to the description of the stationed ninja, the appearance is consistent with the one-tail jinchuriki."
Orochimaru nodded with gloomy eyes. It seemed that the spy's information was really wrong.
In war, this person cannot tolerate any mistakes. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said: "Let the communications team inform Chen that... the Jinchuuriki has appeared."
"yes!"
At the same time, in a cool shaded area blocked by the canyon, a person and an animal were looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"Are you going to lead the way for me?" The handsome ninja wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked helplessly.
"You still dare to let me lead the way? Tell me, how long have you sealed me in the scroll?" The slightly manic and sharp voice quickly overwhelmed the ninja's voice.
This ninja is naturally Uchiha Tatsu who eats sand in the Land of Wind, and the beast... is the cat-sized Shukaku.
Speaking of which, ever since Kushina, the prisoner of Kumogakure Village, took out Shukaku's chakra clone as a radar, Tatsu had been throwing it into Baymax's belly. It had been four or five years since he was stunned.
Therefore, Shukaku felt miserable.
It originally created this clone just to see the Nine Lamas, and then go to Cloud Hidden Village to see Hachi. If the chakra was not exhausted, it would go to Sand Hidden Village to wreak havoc.
In short, it wants to take a quick trip.
But I didn't expect that Uchiha Tatsu, a beast, had made a promise when he invited him, but as soon as he turned his head, he forgot about the agreement.
Sure enough...human beings are all big pigs.
"Anyway...I won't believe you no matter what you say!" Shukaku said angrily.
"No, let's discuss it. I promise to let you see the Nine Lamas this time..."
"Get out... you stupid humans, I don't believe a word you say!"
"Think about it again... Your body is now sealed on the Jinchuuriki. Find him and I will unlock the seal."
"You would be so kind?"
Chen smiled and said: "Of course, you are so powerful, and it is very stressful to be an enemy with you. Letting your body go will be beneficial to everyone, and it can also let it go to Sunagakure to cause destruction."
Shukaku glanced at Chen, thought carefully for a while, seemed to have thought of something, then covered his mouth, let out a lewd smile, and almost rolled on the sand.
After a while, it raised its head and grinned: "Hey~ I will believe you for the last time, let's go."
“…”
Brother, your acting skills are too good. Are you lying
Chen said helplessly: "You are not planning to lead him to Sunagakure in your mind, are you?"
"..." Shukaku looked shocked as if he had been "discovered."
"You're not thinking now that this human being is too scary, so it's better to run away, right?"
"..." Shock x2!
"Despicable humans!" Shukaku scolded.
"Hey," Chen squatted on the ground and picked up the mini Shukaku like a puppy.
"You'd better cooperate with me and don't do these little tricks. I promise to do what I say this time."
Shukaku turned around and tried to bite Chen's arm, but failed because his neck was too short.
So it got angry again: "Don't even think about ordering me, there is sand around here, let's see how you can catch me!"
After saying that, the part Tatsu grabbed turned into sand. Shukaku fell to the ground and turned around to get into the sand.
With Shukaku's ability, even if it was just a scaled down version, it would be really difficult to catch it if it really got into the sand.
Chen sighed, and then took out a scroll from his pocket. On the scroll, there was a word "gold".
Gold is naturally not gold sand, but... diamond blockade.
King Kong Blockade is an ability unique to the Uzumaki clan and has the ability to suppress tailed beasts.
This scroll was drawn by Chen before he left the village and asked Kushina to help him draw it. It contains Kushina's chakra, which is specially used to deal with tailed beasts.
As the scroll unfolded, a silver-white chakra chain instantly popped out of the scroll, and then wrapped around Shukaku's neck.
From a distance... it looks like a dog leash...
"Damn it!" Shukaku struggled for a moment but didn't move away.
"Okay, stop making trouble, be good." Chen shook the chain, and then began to form seals. He could already feel Dabai calling him.
Sure enough, Dabai sent information about the station.
While Chen was reading the letter, Dabai swam down from his neck, then walked around to Shukaku, looking at it curiously.
"What are you looking at? Stinky snake, I'll cook you and eat you sooner or later!"
Shukaku, who was tied up, still didn't forget to show off.
Dabai was not angry, but straightened up and blinked at Shukaku very shyly.
“…”
"Okay, stop teasing it, Shukaku's face is red." After Chen put the letter away, he knocked Dabai on the head and put it on his shoulder.
Then, he pulled the chain again and said to Shukaku:
"Let's go, Ah Huang, let's go to the Kingdom of Sichuan to find Dahuang."
