Chapter 210 The beginning of the

The only way to go from the Kingdom of Wind to the Kingdom of Rain is in a long, narrow and invisible valley.

A ninja troop wearing earth-gray vests and Sunagakure forehead protectors is hidden here. Sunagakure ninjas who are good at earth escape ninjutsu have built simple fortifications here, with arched earth forts standing in the valley.

It was now around three o'clock in the morning, and everyone in the valley was already asleep, and they could only hear the sound of the burning brazier.

But at the only entrance and exit of the valley, the biting wind and rain blew into the sentry from the windows on all sides, making the two Sunagakure ninjas on guard feel like they were in a frozen frozen field.

"Ah...ah sneeze!"

One of the Sunagakure kunoichi sneezed, shivered, moved her feet in front of the brazier, and complained: "This ghost weather in the Land of Rain is really annoying!"

This sinister wind feels like a poisonous snake. It reminds me of the ghost story in the Kingdom of Wind, where the ghost girl sticks to the back of the person and breathes cold wind on the neck.

Thinking of this, another male Sunagakure ninja with good physique unconsciously tightened his tight robe and sighed: "After all, the southern part of the Rain Country is so poor that there is no money or money."

"We are going to enter the northern part of the Rain Country without telling Konoha, and strive to plunder the resources there before Konoha. The operation must be kept secret."

"It's really troublesome." Sunagakure kunoichi folded her arms and complained to herself, "It's not a good time to choose. We have to choose to counterattack in winter. It feels like the cold wind has penetrated into our bones."

In some places in the Kingdom of Winds, the highest average temperature in summer can even reach more than 40 degrees Celsius, and the surface temperature is close to 70 degrees. But once the sun sets, the temperature will drop sharply, and the lowest average temperature at night can reach below zero.

After winter, the lowest temperature can reach more than 20 degrees below zero, which is far lower than the winter temperature in the Land of Rain.

However, the coldness in the Kingdom of Rain is different from the coldness in the Kingdom of Wind.

The air humidity in the Land of Rain is so high that no matter how thick you wear it, you still feel bitingly cold.

"If we counterattack later, when the temperature drops, there will be even less money to be made in the Country of Rain."

Another Sunagakure ninja smiled bitterly and comforted: "The higher-ups probably didn't expect such a big change in the temperature in the Land of Rain."

The two of them chatted like this without saying a word, and they already started to miss home before they met the enemy.

This valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unless someone can fly in from above, they can only attack through this path, which is only five meters wide.

There had been no unexpected incidents before, and the two of them had relaxed unknowingly.

"Oh, I don't know when Master Domu will give the order to leave..."

The kunoichi was talking, but at this moment, a cold wind blew by, and the other sand ninja subconsciously looked outside the guard post.

Upon seeing this, the kunoichi immediately shut her mouth, her expression straightened, and she followed his line of sight, only to see a sloping black rain curtain, with countless raindrops hitting the ground splashing hazy mist.

"What's wrong?"

After a moment, she turned to look at her companion and asked with a frown.

The sand ninja's eyes flickered slightly, he looked outside and said hesitantly: "Did you hear anything?"

Hearing this, the woman turned to look out the window again. After listening attentively for a while, she shook her head and said, "No, I can only hear the sound of rain. Are you too tense and nervous and heard it wrong?"

As she spoke, there seemed to be raindrops falling on her cheeks. She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it away, but she felt a sticky touch.

"enemy……"

The kunoichi's pupils shrank instantly, and without looking back, she opened her mouth without hesitation to warn.

Poof!

The blade with a cold light penetrated from her forehead, causing her screams to stop abruptly. The red and white liquid splashed against the window, making a slight sound.

The dim and almost non-existent moonlight outside the window shone into the sentry, reflecting the two shadows behind the two sand ninja corpses, and also reflected their faces.

"Too slow."

Nagato pulled out the short sword that penetrated the male Suna ninja, looked at Yahiko in front of him and mocked expressionlessly: "You are so slow to kill a female ninja. I really don't understand why my brother asked you to hold me back."

"……whispering sound."

Pulling out the sword from the corpse, Yahiko flicked it away and shook off the steaming blood on the blade. He said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not good at assassination. I have a specialization in the art. Didn't the boss teach you?"

Even so, Yahiko did not deny Nagato's words.

The male Suna ninja was also a sentient ninja after all. The moment he noticed something abnormal, his throat was crushed by Nagato, and his brain was shattered by stabbing him with a knife. He couldn't even make a sound the whole time.

The shots are indeed fast and accurate, and Yahiko admits that he is better than him in this aspect.

Seeing Yahiko confessing in a very honest manner, Nagato felt a little bored. He cast his gaze towards the innermost part of the valley and said coldly: "I thought it was Konoha's troops who were divided into two groups, but it turned out that the fool from Sunagakure wanted to cross the border. One kick."

"We haven't even gone to them to settle the score yet, but they have come to us again. They really treat us as soft persimmons that anyone can pinch!"

Yahiko sheathed his sword and asked in an annoyed tone, "Listening to what these two people just said, there might be a big fish here. Do you want to check it out?"

After a blood pigeon from the intelligence department discovered something unusual here, they originally planned to face the two men from Jiraiya's army, so they decided to come here to take a look.

After arriving, I found out that there was a very tight defense outside the valley. It was far away from the valley, and there were already one post every ten steps and one sentry every five steps.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them, Nagato, to come here without alerting anyone.

"Although Sunagakure's appearance here is somewhat unexpected, such a tight guard is led by Chiyo's son himself. Who knows what they will do, so we can't just let them pass by, right?"

Yahiko continued to argue: "Isn't there Uncle Ye on Jiraiya's side? Uncle Ye has been promoted to the rank of Shangxianzhi now. Even if the two of us are not here, he shouldn't have much problem facing Jiraiya himself." ”

Nagato ignored Yahiko, but sensed the strength of the troops in the valley, and his brows frowned more and more.

There are more than 400 Sunagakure ninjas in the open in the valley. If there are still in the dark, there are at least 600 Sunagakure ninjas hidden in the entire valley.

Jiraiya led a group of people to ambush near the river, preparing to intercept the Aegakure troops after they were defeated. This was also to prevent "Dawn" from suddenly intervening. They had known about this for a long time.

But when Sunagakure and Konoha were planning to work together to defeat the Raingakure troops, Nagato was a little surprised that the Third Kazekage would secretly mobilize such a force to cross the river to the northern part of the Land of Rain.

Is it really to get ahead of Konoha and plunder the resources in the northern part of the Land of Rain?

No, the Third Kazekage should know very well what happened when Onoki hired bounty ninjas to test Dawn, but was slapped hard by them. How could he take risks at such a time...

"Is this a plan to fight with the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will benefit?"

Nagato was puzzled, but Yahiko suddenly spoke and raised his eyebrows: "Is it possible that the real target of this Sunagakure force is not us, but the Konoha blocking force led by Jiraiya?"

Hearing this, Nagato had a flash of realization in his heart and glanced at Yahiko beside him.

The real purpose of the Third Kazekage was not to plunder the northern part of the Land of Rain as these Sand Ninjas thought, but to have the Sunagakure troops ambush behind Jiraiya's Konoha troops in advance.

Wait until Jiraiya jumps out to intercept the defeated Amegakure troops in front, and then let the Sunagakure troops jump out from behind, forming a flanking situation for Jiraiya with the defeated Amegakure troops.

In one fell swoop, he swallowed up the remnants of the Aegakure troops and the Konoha troops led by Jiraiya.

Sunagakure and Konoha are still working together to deal with Hanzo and Amegakure, but the Third Kazekage has already set his sights on Jiraiya?

"These big countries are really uglier than the last."

Thinking of this, Nagato sneered and whispered: "In their eyes, the so-called covenant is just a piece of paper that can be torn at any time, and the so-called allies are just characters that can be betrayed at any time."

Sure enough, to deal with these guys, you have to beat them to death, beat them to pain, and make them remember fear and pain, which is more effective than the so-called covenant.

"So, do you want to take action? Give me the right word!"

Seeing that Nagato remained silent, Yahiko asked impatiently.

"Don't underestimate Jiraiya too much. You may not be able to deal with him alone."

Being interrupted from his thoughts, Nagato said coldly, then raised his head to look at the sky in the distance.

After a moment, a pigeon that was all black, with purple metallic luster on its head, back and waist, flapped its wings gently and landed on Nagato's shoulder.

"Gugu?"

Black Pigeon blinked his scarlet eyes and tilted his head to look at Nagato's face.

Under the envious gaze of Yahiko on the side, Nagato raised his finger with a drop of blood oozing out, handed it to the black pigeon and sucked it into its beak.

"This is Nagato. Yahiko and I have separated from the team and rushed to the target valley." Nagato spoke first.

The next moment, in the silent sentry, Yahiko suddenly heard a familiar human voice from the mouth of the black pigeon, and his expression instantly became wonderful.

At the same time, in the air fortress above the Kingdom of Rain.

The control room in the center of the fortress was brightly lit and full of trivial discussions, and in the center of the control room was a huge projection of the Ninja World map.

You can see many red dots spreading out from Dawn City, many of which are flickering and moving like breathing.

This is a technology developed by combining the sealing and barrier techniques of the Uzumaki clan, the zero-tail technique of Sky Country, and the vampire technique of Shen Nong.

The blood ghost technique possessed by Shennong does not belong to the combat type, but is more auxiliary. It allows him to rely on "blood" and communicate with the outside world at ultra-long distances through the assistance of "zero tail" and enchantment techniques. .

Although it is impossible to forcibly read the thoughts of the blood-given person and communicate spiritually like Kumokawa, who possesses the "Blood Curse", he can still sense its general direction and location.

Although he cannot control the humans who have been given blood, the current Shennong can also control the pigeons who have been given blood.

On the projection of this ninja world, each red dot represents a blood pigeon, and each blood pigeon represents a team.

Shennong was not entirely clear about what was happening in each unit, and he was only in direct contact with the blood pigeons, which meant that the headquarters could only wait for them to actively contact them before they could obtain their information.

"This is Nagato. Yahiko and I have separated from the team and rushed to the target valley."

Shennong stood in front of the projection, and heard Nagato's voice in his ears. He glanced at the projection in front of him, and finally fixed on the position of Nagato, and said: "The headquarters has received it, how is the situation?"

"At least six hundred Sunagakure ninjas are hiding in this valley. The person leading the team is Dome, the son of Chiyo, and there may be Dome's wife."

Nagato described the strength of the troops in the valley, explained Yahiko's guess, and continued: "Yahiko and I will go and behead them. You will need to send air troops to solve the other Suna ninjas."

"Also, there needs help from someone on the side of Shangxuanzhiyue. It's not safe for him to face Jiraiya alone."

Hearing this, Shennong looked up at the projection and saw the upper string ball that was temporarily staying in place.

After a slight pause, he heard a familiar gentle voice in his ears. He nodded and said: "Master Yunchuan said that you should adapt to the situation. I will send someone to your place now. I will ask Jiao to go to Shangsi." Let’s all go there.”

After the words fell, Nagato said nothing and cut off the contact cleanly and proactively.

Shennong knew that he had this character, so he didn't care. He turned to look at the other Kong Ninja who was in charge of contact.

"An air force of five hundred has been dispatched."

After a moment, the air ninja looked up and said bluntly: "We will reach the target within thirty minutes at the latest..."

"Fifteen minutes." Before he could finish his words, Shennong interrupted directly and said coldly, "They are not Sunagakure's main force. There is no need to conserve their energy. Let them reach the target location within fifteen minutes!"

After that, he ignored the hesitant Kong Ninja and used his vampire technique again.

At the same time, inside the Ministry of Finance office in Daybreak City.

"Uuuuuuuuah, there are so many ledgers, when will they be sorted out!"

The faint sound of sobs came out, and the sorrow and sorrow in the words made the listeners sad and the listeners shed tears.

The account books on the table in front of Kakuzu had piled up into a small mountain. When Feng Ai saw the account books wet with tears in front of him, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Stop crying, the account books are all wet from your crying."

After that, he looked at the other table, but didn't see half a person. Then he skillfully looked under the table, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Water Fear, that's enough!"

Duo... Duoduo...

The table shook rhythmically, not because of the earthquake, but because of the man beneath it.

"Okay, that's scary. The main body is angry."

That face was very similar to Jiao's, but at the moment it was pale and thin, full of fear and timidity, and he was hiding under the table holding a blue jar, shivering.

"Oh! Poor Water Fear."

Feng Ai hurriedly ran over, held him in her arms, and said in a sad and pitiful tone, "Original body, look at how you frightened Shuizhu."

Looking at these two weird clones of himself, Kakuzu felt like his head was getting bigger.

He felt that he should be angry now, but he didn't feel angry now. He just felt that he was so miserable. This feeling was really uncomfortable...

At this moment, a crisp sound came from the window.

Boom! Boom!

Kakuzu turned around subconsciously and saw a pigeon outside the window, pecking at the window glass with its beak.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

Seeing this, Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Jiraiya, I don't think it's easy to deal with...but the clone with the fire attribute heart shouldn't be too annoying."
