Chapter 272: The Storm and the Phantom of Gambling

The morning sun shines through the thin morning mist onto the road in the river country, the breeze blows gently, and a sense of tranquility permeates the air. However, this tranquility is about to be broken.

Jie led a team of clones, quietly lurking on both sides of the road. They were dressed in black defensive uniforms, simple and practical, with glowing patterns of energy barriers on their chests and backs, which could effectively resist various ninjutsu and physical attacks. Each clone held a new type of energy weapon in his hand. These weapons were streamlined, with a light blue light flashing on the gun body. They were almost silent when fired, but could burst out with extremely strong destructive power.

Jie stood in front of the team, coldly watching the slowly advancing team of the Wind Country Daimyo in the distance. His mask covered his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, and his black cloak fluttered gently in the breeze.

"The target is approaching," Zed whispered, his voice cold as ice, "prepare for action."

The guards of the Wind Country Daimyo gradually entered the ambush circle. Leading the team were the Six Wind Guards, all of whom looked alert and looked around, obviously having sensed the unusual atmosphere.

"Stay alert," Sand Wind Raizo whispered a warning, his hand gently pressing on the weapon at his waist, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

At this moment, Jie gave the order: "Action!"

The clone troops rushed out from the woods on both sides in an instant, and their energy weapons fired at the same time. Blue beams cut through the air and shot directly at the team of the Wind Country Daimyo. The Six Wind Guards reacted quickly and immediately formed a defensive formation to guard around the Wind Country Daimyo.

"Fight back!" Raizo of Sand Wind roared, forming seals with both hands, releasing ninjutsu, and facing the incoming energy beam. Sand Iron Sand Flow formed seals with both hands, summoning an iron sand shield, blocking most of the attacks. Canglang Yueying moved quickly like a ghost, counterattacking with the long sword in his hand. Lieyan Huolian spewed out a sea of ​​fire, trying to suppress the enemy. Xuanying Yingzang hid in the shadows, looking for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Liefeng Kongxing spread his wing-like cloak in the air, leaped lightly, and swooped down from above.

The battle was extremely fierce. The clone troopers' energy weapons and the Wind Six Guards' ninjutsu constantly collided, bursting out with strong light and vibration. Zed watched the battle coldly, and the invisible blade of the Shadow Ninjutsu in his hand quickly split an energy barrier and approached Sand Wind Raizo.

Canglang Yueying showed no sign of weakness, and swung his sword head-on, engaging in a fierce battle with Jie's Shadow Ninja Technique. The two were extremely fast, and the flashes of swords and shadows kept flashing in the air, making a harsh collision sound.

At the same time, the clone troopers quickly surrounded the Wind Country Daimyo's team. Their defensive uniforms showed strong defensive power in the attack, and they continued to advance steadily even in the face of the powerful ninjutsu of the Wind Six Guards.

"We must protect the adults!" Lieyan Huolian shouted loudly, forming seals with his hands, and spewing out more violent flames to force back the approaching clones.

"Hold on!" Sand Wind Raizo calmly commanded the team while moving and fighting back, "We won't let them succeed!"

However, the clone troopers had an advantage in numbers and equipment. After a fierce battle, the guards of the Wind Country Daimyo gradually fell into trouble and suffered heavy casualties.

Sand Wind Raizo, Sand Iron Sand Flow, Canglang Yueying, Lieyan Huolian, Xuanying Yingzo and Liefeng Kongxing tried their best to resist the enemy's attack. Their bodies were covered with scars, but they still firmly guarded around the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind.

"We will not retreat!" Sandie Sandyul insisted, holding the Iron Sand Shield tightly with both hands, "For the Kingdom of Wind!"

Jie watched all this coldly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he swung the Shadow Ninja Technique in his hand again, aiming directly at the Daimyo of the Wind Country.

The Six Wind Guards felt a tightness in their hearts and quickly formed the last line of defense, vowing to protect the daimyo to the death.

Zed stared at the battlefield coldly. He did not continue to fight with the Six Wind Guards, but retreated slightly, signaling the clone troopers to start the next tactic. The clone troopers quickly adjusted their formation, and the energy weapons were raised in unison. The blue beams flashed again, forming a deadly firepower network that covered the entire battlefield.

"Attack!" With a command from Jie, the clone troops' energy weapons opened fire fiercely. Light beams poured down like raindrops, accurately shooting at the Six Guards of the Wind and the guards of the Daimyo of the Wind Country.

The Six Wind Guards fought hard, but their ninjutsu was powerless under the suppression of the clone troops. Every attack was easily resolved by the energy weapons, and their bodies were constantly hit by beams, blood splattered, and the sand on the ground was dyed red.

The sea of ​​fire spewed out by Lieyan·Huo Lian was instantly defeated by the blue light beam. The whole person was hit by the beam and fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain. Canglang·Yueying's figure flickered in the beam, but was eventually hit and fell to the ground. Sand Iron·Shaliu's iron sand shield gradually collapsed under the impact of the beam. His body was pierced by the beam and blood splattered. Xuanying·Yingzang lurked in the darkness, but the ubiquitous beam made him nowhere to escape, and he eventually fell in a pool of blood. Liefeng·Sky Travel tried to fly up to avoid the attack, but was hit by the beam in the air and fell heavily to the ground. Sand Wind·Raizang was the last one to fall. The whole person was knocked away and fell to the ground and could never stand up again.

The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant, with only faint groans and the smell of burning filling the air. Zed watched all this coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes. He waved his hand, signaling the clone troopers to carry out the final cleanup.

Jie watched all this coldly, the weapon in his hand trembling slightly, but he did not move forward. The clone troops followed the instructions and began to simulate facial cloning. Their biochemical genes began to change rapidly, and their faces gradually became similar to the Six Guardians of the Wind.

A faint light flashed, and the clone's facial muscles moved like a living thing, and the structure of its bones and skin changed rapidly. The originally cold, mechanical face became alive, and gradually it became difficult to distinguish between it and the Six Wind Guards lying on the ground. This process was full of a weird atmosphere, as if watching a terrifying transformation show.

The bodies of the Daimyo of the Wind Country, the Six Guards of the Wind, and the Guards were replaced one by one by clones, their identities were stolen, their faces were copied, as if they had never existed. The whole process was extremely horrifying, with blood and fear intertwined, making people shudder.

Jie watched all this without any fluctuation in his eyes. He knew that the mission had been completed, and the future of the Wind Country would be completely controlled by Nathan Hawke. The air was filled with the breath of death, and the entire battlefield fell into a dead silence.

The morning sun shone on the earth, as if covering the bloody massacre with a layer of golden gauze. But under the golden light, there was endless darkness and despair.

......

Inside a luxurious casino in the Land of Fire, the lights are bright and the place is bustling. Gamblers gather at various gambling tables, their eyes full of greed and expectation. In the center of the crowd, a charming blonde woman is particularly eye-catching. She is the legendary "legendary big fat sheep" in the casino - Tsunade.

At a gambling table in the middle, Tsunade was throwing dice enthusiastically. Her plump figure exuded a charming luster under the light. She was wearing a tight kimono with a deep V neckline, outlining her graceful curves. She was wearing a pair of black high-heeled sandals, revealing her jade feet, and her toes were delicate and exquisite, exuding a sense of sexiness and elegance.

From time to time, some people in the crowd secretly glanced at Tsunade's figure. Her attractive curves and charming posture undoubtedly became a beautiful scenery in the casino. Shizune next to her also had a beautiful figure. She wore a simple kimono and black high-heeled sandals, revealing her slender jade feet, and her toes were decorated with light nail polish. She frowned and kept trying to persuade Tsunade to leave.

"Lady Tsunade, we have an important letter from Konoha. You really should leave." Shizune whispered, her tone full of helplessness.

Tsunade was completely unmoved and continued gambling with great interest, "Don't worry, Shizune, I will definitely win it back!" She rolled the dice, her eyes full of anticipation.

However, the result was one loss after another. Every time the dice fell, the chips on the gambling table would decrease bit by bit, and eventually all the chips would be lost. Tsunade's face showed a frustrated expression, and the whole person seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.

At this moment, the person in charge of the casino came over and said with a smile: "Sir Tsunade, it's okay, you can owe it first and let it go this time."

When Tsunade heard this, her eyes lit up instantly and she said happily, "Really? Then I will definitely win it back!"

The person in charge was all smiles, but he had other plans in mind. A charming woman like Tsunade could attract a large number of customers, whether she won or lost, which was of great help to the casino's business. Every time she came to the casino, she not only brought a lot of gambling money, but also brought countless eyes and attention.

"Of course, Lady Tsunade, you are most welcome," the person in charge said respectfully, while secretly calculating in his mind.

Tsunade left the gambling table in high spirits, looking as if the loss just now had never happened. Shizune sighed helplessly and followed her. She was worried about Tsunade's gambling nature, but she had to admire her optimism and strength.

The hustle and bustle of the casino continued, and under the lights, the jade feet in the high-heeled sandals still exuded a charming luster, as if proclaiming Tsunade's never-give-up spirit.

After Tsunade and Shizune left the casino, the crowd was still full of heated discussions. Everyone was talking about the gambling game just now, especially praising the charm of the two women.

"Did you see the beautiful woman wearing black high-heeled sandals just now? Her feet are so beautiful!" a man said excitedly, with a gleam of memories in his eyes.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade has such a great figure. She's like a goddess walking out of a painting." another man echoed, his tone full of envy and admiration.

"And there's Jingyin who follows her. Although she's low-key, her gentle and elegant temperament is really heart-warming." A woman also joined the discussion with a smile on her face, and she seemed to be impressed by the charm of the two.

"Their high-heeled sandals are the finishing touch, especially the pair that reveal their feet, which are simply too sexy." said a young gambler with a hint of obsession in his eyes.

"Don't you think that Lady Tsunade is particularly cute when she loses? That look of frustration and recovery is really pitiful and lovable." said a young woman with a gleam in her eyes.

"Indeed, Lady Tsunade's spirit of never giving up is truly charming." Another person nodded in agreement, "Moreover, every time she appears, the atmosphere in the casino becomes more lively."

"I feel that as long as they are around, even if I do nothing, I'll feel satisfied just watching them." An old gambler sighed, his eyes full of nostalgia and appreciation.

Discussions were going on, and everyone's face was filled with excitement. Tsunade and Shizune not only left a deep impression on the gambling table, but also planted a seed of charm in everyone's heart.

"I hope they can come to the casino more often. They are such rare beauties." Someone sighed, his voice full of anticipation.

"Yes, with them here, the business here will definitely get better and better." The person in charge smiled, his heart full of expectations and confidence.
