Chapter 164 Wind Shadow (6)

As the saying goes, power struggle is like two winds. Either the west wind prevails over the east wind or the east wind prevails over the west wind. Now that the wind of Kazekage is weak, it is the turn of Chiyo to take the lead.

Chiyo's plan was clear. She wanted to establish her own power foundation by supporting the weak Rasa to take the throne, so as to truly control the Sand Village and even the Kingdom of Wind. Of course, she was not wrong to do so. The career of a ninja is not only about fighting and killing, but also about politics. No matter how poor the Kingdom of Wind is, it is still one of the five major countries. No one can resist the temptation of ruling a village or a country.

Even Ye Shan, who has never been keen on power, is not like this. He still covets power in his heart, otherwise he would not have been so close to the Uchiha clan in recent years. The power of a ninja is linked to strength. If a ninja has only strength but no power, then he is bound to become a thorn in the eyes of the person in power, and will inevitably become the second Hatake Sakumo.

The Third Ninja World War is inevitable. At this time, Yeshan, who is flying at high speed, is thinking about how to profit from the war. He vaguely feels that the power in the village will usher in a new reshuffle after the war, and it is still unknown who will become the Fourth Hokage by then.

But there is one thing he cares about very much, that is, the sinister guy Orochimaru must not become the fourth generation Hokage no matter what! Sarutobi Hiruzen is a politician with a bottom line no matter what, and he still has some restraints in doing things, at least he will not rashly break the rules. But Orochimaru is different, he is like a venomous snake, once the time is right, he will attack without scruples, and will not consider boring things like rules at all.

So the best outcome is that Uchiha Fugaku becomes the new Hokage, followed by Tsunade, and finally Namikaze Minato.

Thinking of this, Ye Shan did not hide his tracks at all along the way. He flew in a straight line with a swagger. He encountered the suspicious Sand Ninjas' interception many times. He ignored their shouting and attacks and rushed to the border with all his strength.

Ye Shan was lucky. He crossed half of the Wind Kingdom without encountering a sandstorm. It took him only half a day to reach Kakashi's camp. His face was covered with sand and fatigue. It was obvious that the long-term flight had consumed him greatly.

His undisguised flight naturally could not escape the eyes of the stationed ninjas. Immediately, two full-strength ninja teams followed him into the camp, each holding their weapons tightly in their hands, mistakenly thinking that they were attacking ninjas from the enemy country.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the Konoha camp? Aren't you afraid of causing disputes between the two villages?" The leading Konoha captain shouted in a deep voice.

Ye Shan casually threw the scorpion to the ground, and then the hazy blue chakra on his body dissipated, revealing his true appearance.

"Ah, Master Hayama!"

The Konoha ninjas present breathed a sigh of relief and put away their weapons, but they did not disperse their formation and still surrounded him secretly.

"It's me, go call Uchiha Masato, Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito as well, hurry up!"

Ye Shan's words made the ninjas look at each other in bewilderment. It was the middle-aged ninja who led the group who asked cautiously, "What do you want, sir?"

The leading ninja's routine questioning was no problem. Under normal circumstances, Ye Shan would have explained with a smile, but now time was tight and he was extremely irritated. Hearing this, he said coldly, "Why? My words don't work?"

A majestic aura surged from his thin body, causing everyone to unconsciously take a few steps back. The leading ninja who asked the questions felt as if a mountain had pressed down on him. His face turned pale, and fine beads of cold sweat covered his forehead.

"We will naturally obey Lord Ye Shan's orders. Go and call the people over."

Two ninjas left immediately. Not long after, Uchiha Masato arrived first. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, his face darkened and he asked, "Do you want to rebel?"

The middle-aged ninja who was leading the group groaned inwardly, and hurriedly forced a smile and said, "I dare not."

"Hmph, you guys continue with your patrol duties. I have something to discuss with Lord Ye Shan."

Ye Shan retracted his aura and waved his hand, saying, "Let them listen too. This matter will be made public sooner or later anyway, so it's better to prepare early so as not to be a fool."

"Sir, what happened?" Uchiha Masato asked respectfully after saluting.

"It's not a big deal." Ye Shan paused and said, "The Third Kazekage is dead, and the Sand Village is about to launch the Third Ninja World War."

Uchiha Masato: "..."

Leading middle-aged ninja: "..."

All the Konoha ninjas present: "..."

They really wondered if they hadn't rested enough recently. Did they hear it wrong? The Third Kazekage died? The Third Ninja World War? If this wasn't a big deal, what in the entire Ninja world could be considered a big deal?

Uchiha Masato came back to his senses after hearing the news of the explosion, and without paying attention to etiquette, he asked anxiously, "Who did it?"

Although he asked this, his eyes were fixed on Ye Shan, as if to say, "You are the murderer."

Yeshan smiled bitterly. Even Uchiha Masato suspected that he did it. The group of anxious Sand Ninjas must have believed that he killed the Kazekage. It seemed that the deal with Chiyo was a wise choice, otherwise he would become the fuse for the outbreak of the war.

"I don't know who did it. What you need to do now is not to investigate the cause of Fengying's death, but to tighten the manpower defense."

Uchiha Masato came to his senses, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that he was unlucky. He came to the border of the Land of Fire to patrol, originally wanting to get a gold medal so that he could join the security department, but he never expected to encounter such a thing as the Ninja World War.

However, it was useless to regret now. As a Konoha ninja, he could not back down, otherwise the village rules would hold him accountable, and the clan rules would punish him. It was true that the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level officials were at odds, but when it came to the interests of the village, both sides naturally put aside their prejudices and worked together to face the outside world. Even a fool could understand that when the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be intact.

Although Uchiha Masato was young, he had carried out many missions. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Send a signal to recall all the ninjas who are out to return to the camp."

"Yes!" A ninja took the order and left.

"Distribute all the detonating tags and shurikens in the warehouse, and tell the trap-setting team not to be stingy and place traps in every corner!"

"Yes!"

"Tell the perception ninjas to set up a perception barrier as soon as possible!"

"All medical ninjas must gather at the center of the camp and send out guards!"

"Send a team to report this news to the neighboring camps!"

Commands came out of Uchiha Masato's mouth one after another. They were nothing more than some orders to withdraw manpower for defense, but they were well-organized and revealed a sense of experience.

After giving the order, Uchiha Masato bowed and asked, "Does Lord Yeshan have anything else to add?"

Ye Shan shook his head. The other party's arrangement was perfect and he couldn't find any faults. "No, but remember, no one is allowed to retreat at any time!"

"You all know what a new war means to Konoha. Those who desert the battlefield: Kill them!"

The ninjas were startled and agreed.

At this moment, Kakashi and Obito were led into the camp. Seeing that everyone on the scene had a solemn expression, they felt nervous and hurriedly came to Ye Shan to salute and greet him.

Ye Shan stroked Kakashi's slightly messy hair, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "How do you feel these days?"

"Everything is fine."

"Ah."

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Shan sighed in his heart and said: "You just stay in the camp..."

"Sir!" Uchiha Masato stepped forward to interrupt Hayama and said anxiously: "Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito are still children. They are not on the patrol ninja list and do not need to stay here."

Ye Shan glanced at the ninjas and took a good look at their faces. In peacetime, the village did not spend too much time patrolling the border, and most of those who stayed in the camp were young men under the age of 20, and their strength was mostly below that of a special jonin, and there were even two children of 13 or 14 years old. At this time, they all looked nervous when they heard the news of the impending war, and some ninjas who had never seen the world even had their hands and feet shaking slightly.

"From the moment they put on the Konoha forehead protector, they have one and only one identity: Konoha Village Ninja!"

"When the war comes, there may be ninjas from prominent families who use their power to escape from the battlefield, but this will never happen to me!"

"I have no control over what other people do, nor do I want to care, but as long as they are my disciples and friends, I will not allow them to back down."

"I, Baiyun Yeshan, also crawled out of the pile of dead bodies during the Second Ninja World War. I know clearly that war means death and the shattering of countless families. I also know the bitterness and helplessness of the lower-class ninjas!"

"So even though Kakashi and Obito are no longer patrolling the Sequence Shinobi, I still kept them here. For no other reason than for the safety of the village, and to set an example!"

As he spoke, Ye Shan hugged the two little ones in one hand and said in a deep voice: "Now I order you in the name of Konoha Jonin: Hold the camp and wait for the support of the village! I hope you will fulfill your duties as Konoha ninja!"

Kakashi and Obito's eyes turned red when they heard their master's words. They were still young and couldn't stand hearing inspiring words. They just felt a rush of blood into their heads, their whole bodies were hot, and they nodded vigorously.

Ye Shan was a little worried about their safety. War is not a game of house. It doesn't care about your identity. Even if Uchiha Kagami died on the battlefield, Kakashi and the other two were very weak. How could Ye Shan not be worried?

However, Ye Shan also struggled to rise from the bottom of the ninja ladder. He knew the filthiness of those famous and powerful families. He hated the practice of using backdoors on the battlefield and did not want to follow in their footsteps.

"Next, I will rush to Camp No. 1, Kikyo Castle, to take charge. You must hold on to this place. No Sand Ninja can be allowed into the Land of Fire!"

"Yes!"

The ninjas received the order and dispersed, preparing for the upcoming battle. Only Hayama, the two little ones, Uchiha Masato and the speechless Sasori were left on the field.

Uchiha Masato sighed with a complicated expression: "Sir, where are they arranged?"

Ye Shan ruffled Kakashi and Obito's hair, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Let's arrange for them to guard the medical ninja."

Medical ninjas and perception ninjas are priority targets on the battlefield, so their escort ninjas are naturally full of danger.

"My team is short of two ninjas, why not have them join us?" Uchiha Masato suggested.

"No, just let them go to the dangerous place. I believe they will survive."

At this time, Ye Shan felt a little regretful. If he had not insisted on killing Scorpion, he would not have brought them to the border. It would have been much safer for them to stay in the village.

But there was no use regretting. He could only hope that Kakashi and Obito would be smarter on the battlefield and not pick tough matches, otherwise the apprentices he had raised for several years would be gone.

"Are there any falcons in the camp?" Ye Shan asked.

Uchiha Masato shook his head: "In peacetime, we don't have falcons to send signals, but we do have a few carrier pigeons."

The flying speed of a carrier pigeon is not much faster than that of a running ninja. Now the situation is extremely urgent and the information must be sent back to the village as soon as possible. Carrier pigeons are obviously not suitable.

"I'll leave this to you. I'll go to Kikyo City to take charge. Remember, don't take the initiative to attack."

"Yes!"

Ye Shan looked down at Kakashi and Obito, always feeling uneasy. He gathered his gold chakra on his palms, leaving a small golden sword pattern on each of their wrists: "I can save your lives in an emergency, I hope you won't need it!"

After saying that, Ye Shan grabbed the scorpion lying on the ground, and the wings of water reappeared and soared into the sky. In the eyes of the three people, it turned into a small black dot and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
