Chapter 223
The Kingdom of Wind, the west.
This is an endless sea of sand, and it seems that there is only endless yellow between heaven and earth. The air is filled with dry and hot breath, and you can feel the roughness of the sand grains when you breathe.
The scorching sun shines on the soft sand, reflecting a dazzling light that makes it almost impossible to look directly at it. When the wind blows, the sand waves rise one after another.
On the huge sand dunes, two people are moving slowly. Strangely, no one leaves footprints on the sand.
“To be honest, I really hate this environment.”
Shen Yu shook his head. In the hot environment, the water vapor content in the air is pitifully low, which makes him physically uncomfortable.
“I finally understand why the first generation of Kazekage would rather give up the tailed beasts and the territory.” He said thoughtfully: “If it were me, I would probably start a war against Konoha.”
“Teacher, you are really a joke.”
Aside, Orochimaru smiled. This smile appeared on his pale face, which looked a little gloomy.
“The first Kazekage was not as strong as you, and at that time, Konoha had Hashirama Senju.”
“That’s true.” Shenyu nodded.
A day ago, several people in the Land of Whirlpools learned about the current predicament of the Uzumaki clan. In order to completely win over the hearts of the people, Shenyu decided to help.
Just kidding, the Uzumaki clan is now his lackeys. It would save a lot of effort to warn the current Kazekage and Mizukage and tell them not to have any evil thoughts about the Uzumaki clan.
At the banquet, Shenyu asked Kushina and Sora to find photos of the missing clan members, and easily tracked down the missing people through the pupil technique “Kyuenbiku”.
Fortunately, they are all still alive.
But unfortunately, they were imprisoned in a desert bunker and a humid dungeon respectively. Through the “observation” of the clues around the target, they immediately judged that they were captured by the ninjas of the Sand Village and the Mist Village.
This just confirms Shen Yu’s guess.
Because the “wedge” seal was sealed, Shen Yu could not open the portal to act now. In order to maximize efficiency, the four decided to split into two groups.
Shen Yu took Orochimaru to the Kingdom of Wind, and Guang took Nian to the Kingdom of Water. The purpose was to rescue the captured members of the Uzumaki clan and at the same time to shock the two ninja villages.
For Shen Yu, this time he said he was going to perform a rescue mission, but in fact it was just “training”.
Orochimaru has been in the laboratory for so many years. Although he will not forget to practice every day, the lack of actual combat is inevitable. Frankly speaking, his current strength may not be as strong as Orochimaru in the same period of the original time and space.
This time is a good training opportunity. With his own bottom line, he only needs to rescue in the life-and-death crisis.
As for the Kingdom of Water, Shen Yu is even less worried. Whether it is Uchiha Guang or Uchiha Nian, even if they are taken out alone, they can easily subdue the tailed beast.
Looking at the entire ninja world, only their lineage has both the Mangekyō Sharingan and the power of Wood Release.
The master and the apprentice chatted while they were on their way, and soon, a large-scale fortress appeared at the end of their vision.
From the outside, this fortress is obviously a fortress, continuing the architectural style of the Wind Country, and is completely built of khaki sandstone. From a distance, it seems to be integrated with the sand dunes on the ground.
This is the place where Nian locked remotely through the pupil technique, and the place where Uzumaki Haruna and other reconnaissance team members were imprisoned.
“Master, what should we do?” Orochimaru looked at Shenyu with a questioning look.
“What do you mean?” Shenyu frowned slightly, and then clapped his hands, “Just go in and bloodbath the entire fortress.”
Such murderous words came out, but Shenyu’s face did not fluctuate at all, as if he was about to swat a fly to death, calm and indifferent.
Orochimaru nodded heavily, and his golden vertical pupils shrank slightly, with a look of determination.
But Shenyu had just taken a step when he suddenly stopped. He sensed that a large force was rapidly approaching the fortress.
He raised his eyebrows and showed an interested look.
“What’s wrong, Master?” Orochimaru raised his head in confusion.
“Don’t be in a hurry, there is a good show coming down below.” Shenyu did not act in a hurry, but sat cross-legged on the spot and watched the changes.
Orochimaru was a little confused, but the master had his reasons for speaking, so he also followed Shenyu’s example and sat obediently in the same place.
They were located on a high sand dune, and from this angle, they could clearly observe everything happening outside the fortress.
Sure enough, within a moment, a group of people surrounded the fortress below. They were wearing tight clothes, close-fitting black vests, and black gauze wristbands., all with masks on their faces, chakras at the level of a jonin, and coming fiercely.
“Summoning technique!”
A faint voice came from the wind, and as a burst of white smoke slowly dissipated with the yellow sand, a dark red snake rose up inside the fortress, raising its head high.
Its body was quite large, with only half of its body, its height had surpassed the fortress, and its head was much bigger than an izakaya. The skin folds on its neck swelled, as if it had opened a pair of wings, and dark red scales covered its body like armor, emitting dazzling light under the sun.
Then, on the top floor of the fortress, a tiny figure appeared in an instant.
This person wore a loose snake suit, his bare arms were wrapped in bandages, his resolute face had a pair of three white eyes, and his gray-blue hair was combed into a prickly back.
The moment he saw him clearly, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, because this man was known as the strongest Kazekage in the history of Sand Village, and succeeded the Third Kazekage shortly after the death of the Second Kazekage!
“A bunch of rats, dare to come to our territory to mess things up, really underestimated!”
The red snake spoke in human language, with a rough and powerful voice, even from a long distance, it can be heard clearly.
The Third Kazekage stood on the top of the fortress, with a face full of fighting spirit, “We must defend this fortress to the death, do a good job, Xinya!”
“Huh? Who are you talking to, kid!” The snake Xinya said with dissatisfaction, and glanced at the Third Kazekage with a little contempt, and looked down at the enemies with a fierce and brutal look, “You should work harder!”
“Of course, today’s mission must be completed beautifully!”
The Third Kazekage chuckled, without any anger. As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and landed steadily on the head of the snake Xinya.
“Oh!” Xinya said as a matter of course: “Our combination will never lose!”
One man and one snake rushed out of the fortress immediately, and the huge snake body slithered forward, rolling up the sky with dust, and dived into the crowd.
