Chapter 827: Interception and Elephant Turning Technique!

River Country!

It is the target of this pursuit.

Because Gaara is the Jinchuriki of the Sand Ninja, they will naturally keep some tricks on him to ensure that they can find him.

So the Sand Ninja's pursuit team is composed of Chiyo, Maki, Temari, and Kanjiro.

With this lineup, it is definitely good.

After all, Chiyo is a veteran Kage, Maki is also an elite Jonin, and Temari and Kanjiro are also strong.

And with Chiyo in this lineup, they can make the decision no matter what the situation.

River Country!

It is right between the Fire Country and the Wind Country, so the two sides will meet in this small country.

That's right!

The small area in the south of this small country has completely turned into the shape of the Lieyang Country.

Due to the long-term absorption of refugees, it now has a population of more than five million.

Don't think this number is small!

You know, in a place like the Ninja World, the population of some small countries may only exceed one million, and only the five major countries have a population of over 100 million.

It can be said that this population is already quite large.

And this is because the River Country is just a population transit station, and a large number of refugees have been relocated to the Tea Country, the Wind Country, the Water Country, etc.

By the way, in order to promote the benefits of these places, Tang Ping also asked the fleet to bring some of the people who migrated there back to the River Country from time to time to "tell their stories" and ensure that they really live a good life after migrating there, not to suffer.

It is this method that makes the refugees of the River Country never resist the migration arrangement, and they don't have to worry about being used as consumables.

But even so, there are more than 5 million people "crowded" in a small area in the south of the River Country.

Who makes this area too close to the castle tower and has a port, it is a good place for an "industrial zone", plus the abundant water power, so that except for not producing cutting-edge products, the scale and quantity here are even larger than the castle tower.

Battleships, airships... The core parts of aircraft are all produced in the castle tower, and other parts are produced in the River Country.

It is impossible for Akatsuki to "fall into a trap" and place its base in the area controlled by the Lieyang Country. That would be a complete suicide.

It is the north!

The north of the River Country has never fallen into the hands of the Lieyang Country.

It is not that they do not have the strength, but they are unwilling to do so.

In the past, it was not good to be too conspicuous and directly occupy a small country.

Later, they were unwilling to do so.

There is no harm without comparison!

If the entire River Country is occupied, everyone lives the same, and some people may think that it is just like this under the governance of the Lieyang Country.

However, if there is a comparison target close at hand, these refugees will know clearly what kind of life they are living.

Happiness is all compared!

This truth is clear to Tang Ping.

So he only occupied a small area on the River Country side.

At the same time, he constantly let people on his side know what kind of life the refugees on the other side of the line live.

Facts have proved that the means are extremely useful.

The north and south of the River Country are separated by only a border line, and it is completely like living in two different worlds.

Even the faith has become purer.

North of the River Country.

In the dark and wide riverside cave.

A huge golem stands, with a figure wearing a black-bottomed red cloud uniform and making hand seals on each of its ten fingers.

Members of the Akatsuki organization!

Extracting the tailed beast is not an instant thing.

Not only does it require multiple Kage-level strongmen to maintain the Nine Sealings of the Phantom Dragon, it also takes a long time, so they have already started for more than a day.

However, it will take more than half a day to extract one tail, so after knowing that the Sand Ninja and Konoha have sent pursuit teams to arrive, they naturally have to find a way to delay time.

"The pursuit teams of Konoha and the Sand Ninja are coming, who will delay it?"

Tiandao Pain asked indifferently.

The members of the organization who appeared in this dark cave all appeared here using the Phantom Body Technique, so they can only see each other's eyes clearly.

"I'll go!"

A pair of blood-red eyes spoke.

"Okay, you two go to help Scorpion and the others!"

Pain nodded.

Although they used the Phantom Body Technique to appear here, their real bodies were not here, but they could still use the "Elephant Rotation Technique" to put almost all of their strength into the prepared sacrifices, so that they could go into battle directly.

Both the Phantom Body Technique and the Elephant Rotation Technique are abilities attached to the Samsara Eye, and are naturally magical and powerful.

Soon, outside the cave, the two unconscious ninjas were covered with a lot of white paper, and then they turned into the appearance of Da Xiaozi and Kisame.

"Elephant Rotation Technique?"

Itachi muttered to himself, feeling his body.

Even if it was not his own body, he could control it freely, and even the Sharingan could be used, as long as it was not the Mangekyō.

Magical!

This is the only way to describe it.

As for Kisame, he showed his sharp teeth of expectation.

Fighting is what he likes.

In other words, he couldn't bring Samehada with him, otherwise it would be better.

"Next, let me see the strength of the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja!"

Kisame rushed to the meeting point of the two teams given by Pein.

And Itachi followed silently.

At this time, he was thinking about who the person coming from Konoha was and how to let him go without attracting attention.

When dealing with other targets, he was always decisive, but he was extremely gentle when facing Konoha.

It can only be said that in Itachi's heart, the family is just an accident, and the village and his brother are true love.

On the other side!

Chiyo and others joined the two support teams from Konoha.

'What's going on? '

Asuma frowned slightly and looked at the people in front of him, feeling a little puzzled.

Even if Ye Cang, the Kazekage, did not come in person, it would not be that the new generation of strong men such as Shira and Juan would not come, right? .

That is to say, there is Chiyo, the respected advisor elder leading the team, and Maki, the elite jonin, otherwise Asuma would have suspected that the other party had some conspiracy.

"Elder Chiyo, this mission will be completed by our Konoha side "assisting" the Sand Ninja. I wonder if you agree?"

Asuma first emphasized the nature of the mission.

Assistance is not assistance.

It means that the Sand Ninja side is the main force, and at the same time they have full initiative, and they are not subordinates of the other party.

Such emphasis sounds nonsense, but it is actually necessary.

Otherwise, if the other party issues an order for them to take risks, should he also listen? .

It also shows that Konoha will only help complete the mission in this operation and will not take the opportunity to do anything.

It can only be said that Konoha really didn't play any tricks in helping this time.

After all, Konoha is too weak now and really needs "allies".

And Sand Ninja is a very good choice.

There are only four powerful allies.

Among them, Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja are absolutely impossible to be regarded as allies by Konoha.

There is only one reason.

If we form an alliance with them, who will have the advantage in dominance? .

Everyone is similar in strength, so it is naturally impossible to give up the dominance easily.

In addition, these two ninja villages dream of pulling Konoha down from the top position of ninja villages. It is as dangerous as a mouse looking for a cat to form an alliance with them.

As for the Mist Ninja, because it is too mysterious and the other party is too far away, even if it is an alliance, it will not be of much help to Konoha.

So, what else is there, is the Sand Ninja, who is weaker than Konoha and closer, a better choice of ally? .

As for everyone's grievances? .

Please, the ninja world is a world where war is as common as eating and drinking. If it is really hatred, Ohnoki also killed the third generation Raikage, but it does not prevent them from joining forces for common interests, right? .

Grudges are grudges, and interests are interests!

Ninjas are very clear about this point, and they will never let their personal grudges affect the village.

Just like before Dohei traveled through time, how could those mercenaries let their grudges affect the company? .

Under the premise of deliberately winning over the Sand Ninja, it is no wonder that Konoha attaches so much importance to this rescue.

Not only did they let the "Dragon of Konoha" take action, but they also sent two important teams to come.
