Chapter 268 The era of the five great ninja villages is over!

The land of wind.

Sand Hidden Village.

After a sandstorm, the nearby sand dunes change drastically, which is why it is easy for people to get lost in the desert.

The Sand Village is located behind two rocks that stand like a huge door. These are also the only mountains exposed in the desert.

In fact, there are many exposed and protruding rocks in the entire Sand Village.

After being weathered by time, they were carved from the inside by the Sand Ninjas. Some became excellent shelters to isolate themselves from sandstorms, and some were even carved into buildings.

The night is dark and windy.

The sky was dark.

Orochimaru led a large army to the edge of Sunagakure and looked up at the entrance to the ninja village.

Chiyo and Ebizo looked up at the Ninja Village, both with complicated expressions.

Who could have thought that as high-ranking members of the Sand Village, they would one day personally lead ninjas from other villages to their own ninja village.

The darkness of night provided a layer of camouflage for Konoha's army. The sandstorm had just subsided, and now was the time when the sentry post at the entrance of Sunagakure was least able to sense the outside world.

Orochimaru glanced at Chiyo and Ebizo behind him and didn't say much.

The two nodded silently, indicating that they knew what to do.

In the noisy night wind.

Chiyo and Ebizo left the team and rushed towards the rock gate of Sunagakure.

Until the two left.

Orochimaru raised his hand and waved, making a combat gesture. The Konoha ninja troops behind him controlled the noise made by their footsteps and moved slowly forward, preparing to climb the rocks and forcefully occupy the entrance.

"It's been a long time since I last commanded a battle in person." Orochimaru sighed, "This makes me feel like I'm back to the time when I participated in the Third Ninja World War."

Back then, he also commanded a Konoha ninja army alone and was invincible.

Except for meeting Hanzo.

Basically never lost.

But now, where is Hanzo, where is Orochimaru.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's mouth curled up and he sighed in his heart, sometimes, choice is more important than hard work.

Happiness is created by comparison.

As for letting Chiyo and Ebizo go back without bloodshed, Orochimaru is not afraid at all that the two old guys will suddenly rebel.

Because, that's just perfect.

Orochimaru's expression became even more gloomy, and he revealed a sinister smile.

In that case, he could order a bloody massacre of the Sand Village and at the same time harvest a large amount of experimental materials!

After Ebizō and Chiyo arrived at the edge of the entrance to the ninja village, they slowed down their pace at the same time.

Chiyo looked back from time to time, but in the pitch-black night, she could not see a single Konoha ninja with the naked eye.

Even in the howling wind, the ninja's perception became less effective.

Chiyo's face was gloomy, her thoughts were churning inside, and her brain was a little overwhelmed.

"Sister, I never thought that we would become the sinners of the Sand Village!"

Ebizo sighed.

But for a long time, Chiyo didn't respond.

He approached Chiyo and felt his sister's gloom at the moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister, don't think too much at the critical moment!"

Chiyo said in a deep voice: "Ebizo, if we fight to the death, can we resist these Konoha ninjas?"

Ebizo said anxiously: "Sister, what are you thinking about? With the current strength of Sunagakure, we may not be able to withstand the first round of attack from the Konoha ninja troops outside!"

Chiyo fell silent.

She was also estimating the strength of both sides and deducing the chances of Sunagakure winning if a real fight broke out.

Ebizo tugged at Chiyo's sleeve and said in horror: "Sister, don't do anything stupid! If we fight back, that will be exactly what Orochimaru wants!"

half an hour.

Chiyo sighed and waved her hands, sadness evident in her eyes, and she had already made a decision in her heart.

Seeing this, Ebizo breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that his sister would become depressed and take the entire ninja village to die for the sake of face.

Rocky entrance.

sentry post.

"There are ninjas approaching the main gate, everyone be alert!!"

A Perception-type Sand Ninja shouted loudly.

Instantly.

The Sand Ninjas who were originally resting with their backs against the rock wall started to move, pulling out throwing ninja tools from their tool bags, ready to meet the enemy.

The Sand Ninjas in charge of communications were also prepared. If anything happened at the entrance, they would pass the information back to the Ninja Village.

Swah——

Black shadows flickered on the rocks as the Sand Ninjas were deploying their defenses. The entire entrance to the Sand Village seemed to come alive at this moment.

In the original work, if Sasori wants to return to Sunagakure, he also has to find a way to get rid of the Sand Ninja at the entrance.

Otherwise, the Sand Village could completely rely on the entrance to the mountain to fight on its home turf.

One of the three teams took the initiative to leave the rock and arrived in front of the entrance.

They are responsible for negotiating with outsiders.

After all, not every time an outsider arrives at the entrance of the ninja village, it means an enemy attack.

"Who are you? Tell me your identity, otherwise you will become the enemy of the Sand Village!!"

The Sand Ninja leading the team roared loudly towards the front.

The sound was not obscured by the wind and sand, and reached the ears of Ebizo and Chiyo.

boom--

The sound of flames bursting out rang out on both sides of the rocks. A row of torches were quickly lit, and the dim light illuminated the entrance to the valley.

"Chiyo-sama, Ebizo-sama!"

The Sand Ninja leading the team's expression suddenly changed when he saw the appearance of the newcomer, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The other two Sand Ninjas first relaxed, then became tense.

After all, there have been precedents of using transformation techniques to impersonate important figures in the ninja village and raid the ninja village.

Soon, the Sand Ninja completely let down their guard because Ebizo took the initiative to communicate with the other party about the Sand Ninja's secret code and removed his fake identity.

"grown ups!"

The three-member Sand Ninja team came respectfully before Ebizo and Chiyo, waiting for their instructions.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chiyo said in a deep voice.

She looked exhausted, and then said in a deep voice: "Gather all the ninjas at the sentry post, follow me back to the ninja village!"

"this…"

The Sand Ninja leading the team's eyes suddenly widened. He took off his Sand Ninja hood and forehead protector, revealing a middle-aged man's face ravaged by wind and sand.

His name is Yura, and he is temporarily in charge of the border defense of the Sand Village.

In the original work, Yura, who was originally Tadayoshi of Sunagakure, was controlled by Scorpion and became Scorpion's subordinate and insider.

But now, the plot has deviated, and Yura is still the same Sunagakure Tadayoshi.

However, he did not understand Chiyo's order at the moment. After all, if the defense line at the entrance of Sand Village was removed and there was an enemy attack, it would be no different from handing over the first line of defense of the ninja village!

"Sir... this..."

Yura plucked up his courage, stood up and prepared to ask something, but he was interrupted by Ebizo as soon as he opened his mouth.

The old man with white eyebrows narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Don't get too excited, young man. Don't worry, there will be no enemy attacks tonight. We came back this time with something important to announce to everyone in the ninja village!"

As he spoke, he patted Yura's shoulder, then raised his head and gave a loud order:

"Remove the defense line. A new round of defense will come to replace us soon. Everyone, please follow us back to the Ninja Village!"

Hearing this, Yura remained silent.

Since these two people have given the order, they have no right to object.

At the entrance of the Sand Village, the Sand Ninjas retreated one after another and followed Ebizo and Chiyo towards the Kazekage Building.

Enter the Ninja Village.

Ebizo ordered the Sand Ninjas to go and gather all the ninjas in the ninja village to gather at the Kazekage Building.

Yura and others had no choice but to obey the order and disperse.

Looking at the familiar streets, the familiar oval-shaped buildings that protect against wind and sand, and the Fengying Building that looks particularly friendly under the lights in the dark night.

Ebizo lowered his eyes and sighed.

"What, you regret it?"

Chiyo complained.

Ebizo shook his head, then turned his gaze to the brightly lit residential area of ​​the Ninja Village.

If they don't do this tonight, what should happen to those innocent people of Sand Village?

They could fight to the death against Konoha for the sake of face and reputation, but they did not ask about the wishes of others.

Moreover, the surrender of the Sand Village to Konoha is an opportunity for them to start over.

Entrance to Sand Hidden Village.

The huge number of Konoha ninjas have occupied two mountain ranges. They lined up in a long row, looking at the brightly lit Sand Village, like a pack of wolves standing on a high place, watching their prey.

Among them, the most excited ones are naturally the original Konoha ninjas and the Uchiha who came out of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Sand Village!

This is the real Sand Village!

The Ninja World War has been going on for so many years, but Konoha has never come to the gates of other ninja villages to see the scenery of other ninja villages.

And now, under the leadership of Yinyue, they have achieved this feat!

"As far as I know, Kumogakure and Iwagakure are already migrating to the Land of Fire. As for Kirigakure, Lord Yinyue can go get it anytime."

Orochimaru said to everyone around him:

"Everyone, after tonight, the ninja world will undergo earth-shaking changes. The era of the five major ninja villages coexisting is over! Go, everyone, the history of the ninja world will be born in your hands!"

"Yes--"

After he finished speaking, the Konoha ninja troops rushed into the Sand Village that had lost its first line of defense like a tide.

For a moment, the Sand Village was in chaos like a pot of boiling porridge, with shouts of killing shaking the sky.

Orochimaru looked at Sunagakure with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He had promised Chiyo and Ebizo to liberate Sunagakure peacefully, but true peace would be built on bloodshed.

There will be bloodshed in the end, otherwise the subsequent migration work cannot be carried out.

Of course, Orochimaru would not allow his men to slaughter ordinary people of Sunagakure.

This time, the Konoha ninjas only need to defeat the resisting Sand ninjas.

A certain street.

Yura was stunned. Looking at the black mass of ninjas rushing in front of him like a tide, he looked towards the Kazekage Building and yelled angrily:

"Ebizo! You bastard, we said there would be no intruders!!!"

But he could only roar like this. Just as he was about to organize a counterattack against the Sand Ninja around him, he could already see clearly that the ones invading the Sand Ninja were Konoha ninjas.

Soon, they were overwhelmed by Konoha ninjas, some were knocked unconscious, some were crippled.

The defense of the entire Sand Village was in chaos at this moment, and there was no organized team that could effectively resist the disciplined Konoha ninjas.

Fengying Building, top.

Ebizo stood on a high place and faced the large number of Sand Ninjas that had just gathered with Chiyo.

After a while, we saw the Konoha ninja troops attacking the ninja village and surrounding the Kazekage Building.

bang——

A Sand Ninja was kicked hard and flew into the sky like a sandbag, smashing heavily towards a place where there were many Sand Ninjas.

"..."

The Sand Ninjas hurriedly caught him.

But the Sand Ninja was already dying, with blood oozing from his mouth. He said in horror: "It's... it's Orochimaru, Konoha... Konoha is attacking us!"

"Konoha?"

"How could Konoha appear here?"

"Master Chiyo, Master Ebizo, why did this happen?"

All the Sand Ninjas looked up and stared at Chiyo and Ebizo above the Kazekage Building.

In Ebizo's eyes, these gazes were as sharp as kunai, making him dare not look directly at them.

He sighed.

Sigh helplessly:

"Everyone..."

After all, he couldn't personally persuade these Sand Ninjas to surrender.

At this time, the Konoha ninja made way, and Orochimaru walked out slowly, saying in a cold voice:

"Give up resistance and obey my orders, or you commit suicide and I will exterminate you!"

Hearing this, the Sand Ninjas looked ashen.

Many of the Sand Ninjas who had originally thought of dying to prove their integrity now gave up the urge to die.

Since their deaths are meaningless, why bother dying?

Orochimaru looked up at Ebizo and Chiyo who were standing on top of the Kazekage Building.

He smiled and waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to reorganize and deal with these Sand Ninjas.

Orochimaru had predicted this situation long ago.

It's easy to tell that asking Chiyo and Ebizo, old loyal retainers of Sunagakure, to persuade their own people to surrender is unlikely.

So, Orochimaru directly gave a wave of assists, so that these two guys could be forced to step down.

After the turmoil.

Orochimaru officially took over the Sand Village. Now, he led the team into the Kazekage Building and came to the Kazekage's office.

Compared with the Kage offices in other ninja villages.

Fengying's office gives people a special sense of security. It is almost completely enclosed, with only a small glass window behind Fengying's desk.

The ambient tone is warm.

The layout is simple.

Orochimaru came behind the Kazekage's desk and looked out the window at the bustling ninja village.

Ebizo stared at the Kazekage's desk and the Kazekage's position, and asked, "Don't you want to sit in this position for a while?"

In the office, Orochimaru's subordinates and Konoha ninjas looked at Orochimaru's back.

"Hehe..." Orochimaru smiled and shook his head, looking coldly at Ebizo, "If I were to take the seat, you would probably say that you want to give me the entire Sand Village so that I can take charge, right? Your way of sowing discord is too low-level. Only Lord Yinyue can take this position."

"Oh, it's not fun!" Ebizo shrugged and waved his hand, "It's not fun!"

Orochimaru said calmly:

"Okay, I've suppressed the Sand Ninja for you. Go ahead and organize the migration of your people. Ebizo, come with me. Let's go meet your stingy Daimyo of the Wind Country."

Ebizo's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands excitedly: "Great! I've been annoyed with that old guy for a long time!"

Orochimaru took one last look at the Sand Ninja, feeling a lot of emotion, and finally said it again: "The era of the five great ninja villages coexisting is over!"

Chiyo and Ebizo had mixed emotions.

Orochimaru was right.

The landscape of the ninja world has changed dramatically, and the glorious days of the five major ninja villages are gone forever.

But the final winner has nothing to do with Sand Village.

...

...

Fire Nation.

Konoha.

The dark red Susanoo arrived at the Ninja Village, and then, under Yinyue's control, flew towards the royal fortress on Shadow Rock.

In the jewel cockpit.

The Raikage and others were all shocked when they looked at the current state of Konoha.
