At the border with the Land of Fire, there is a large desert of desert, with a fortress standing in the middle, surrounded by high earth walls, with only a narrow entrance connecting the inside and outside.
This is where the Hidden Sand Village is.
Now, we can only see the same situation inside the village as outside, with wind and sand blowing wildly and visibility less than two meters.
However, for every sandstorm in the village, there is always a Sunagakure ninja wearing a white veil above him...
Something big has happened...
"Captain, we didn't find anything. The strong sandstorm the day before yesterday covered up all traces." !"
"Report to the captain, it's the same here! All we can see are the traces left by the wind and sand."
"Report to the captain! There is nothing abnormal here!"
...
Normally, it would be the best thing if there is no abnormality. But now, the fourth Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village has disappeared inexplicably. The biggest abnormality is that there is no abnormality.
The captain that everyone talks about is only introduced from time to time, the elite jounin of Sunagakure, Maki.
"Captain! I..." Just as Ma Ji was spinning around, covering his forehead and feeling at a loss, another border guard broke in.
"What's the matter? Say it quickly!" His patience had already been exhausted, and he yelled as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I...we found that someone is missing..."
"Who is missing? Now we are missing Mr. Kazekage! Who else is more important than Mr. Kazekage?" Marky cursed without hesitation, spittle flying.
"Our security captain... Yura..." The border guard suppressed the panic in his heart and said the name of this person who was obviously not as powerful as Kazekage.
"Yura? At this time... what is he doing! Bastard... Someone must be targeting our Sunagakure this time. The chuunin exam is about to take place, so we must block the news and cannot..." " Maki? What
are you doing?"
A deep voice came from behind the crowd.
"You are... Lord Kazekage!" Then, there were continuous exclamations, one after another, reaching Ma Ji in the middle of the crowd.
"Lord Kazekage? You..." The easily recognizable blue and white hat and pure white god robe came into view, coupled with the unique deep voice, it was definitely the Fourth Kazekage.
Next to him was none other than the Minister of Security, Yuliang, who said nothing.
"What's going on? Why are they all gathered here?" Luo Sha, the Fourth Wind Shadow, glanced at Ma Ji coldly and turned back. "Where are you coming from? Where are you going? Who is responsible for the safety of the entire Sand Hidden Village?"
"Yes, Lord Kazekage!" The familiar aura returned, and everyone finally felt relieved, looking at Calm with lingering fears. The horses who came down dispersed one after another.
"Maji, this..."
"Master Kazekage, it's my fault! I rashly mobilized all the ninjas in the village to search for you without confirming your whereabouts." Before Luo Sha could continue, Ma Ji Ji knelt down, clasped his hands in his fists, and lowered his head without daring to raise it.
"Ma Ji, we are all back, Yuliang found me." Luo Sha stated expressionlessly, reaching out to help Ma Ji up.
"Yura... I hope you're okay." Marky held Yura's hands gratefully. The inexplicable ups and downs made him not know what to do for a while.
"Stop talking about this, how are we, Sunagakure, preparing for the Chuunin Exam that will be held soon?" "
Kazekage-sama... To be honest, we in Sunagakure Village have no candidates who can take part in the examination this time." Ji said with some shame, and lowered his head again.
"There are no candidates? What are our last graduates doing?" Luo Sha's brows frowned slightly, and the atmosphere around him became colder again.
"They... are not strong enough." The voice became lower and lower. The three ninjas who graduated last year were simply incompetent and could not even beat the current students of the ninja school that he personally trained.
"Then drag Gaara out and let him get in."
"Kazekage-sama...this is not good..." Maki looked embarrassed, raised his head slightly, and secretly glanced at Luosha's expression.
"There's nothing wrong with it. The strong ones just need to be promoted. Besides, if the competition isn't held in our village, there's no need to worry. Konoha... just goes to dampen their spirit as the number one ninja village! Maki, they're like this How many teams are there at this time?" Luo Sha glanced at Ma Ji sideways and continued to maintain the dignity he pretended.
"Konoha...there are only two teams. Other ninja villages also have only one team..."
"During peacetime...are we just slacking off on the joint chuunin exams? In this way, the quality of chunin is not guaranteed. ." Luo Sha's eyes flashed slightly and she chuckled. "Yura, let's go. Maki, Gaara, please."
"Yes, Kazekage-sama."
Say it, Maki took a big breath and disappeared into a gust of wind.
Behind him, the fourth generation Kazekage.
"Huh... Scorpion, what do you think of my performance? This skin is really comfortable to use. This strange ninjutsu... Although I'm still not used to it, it can still be used to contain the cannon fodder a little." Orochimaru's voice came out quietly, lazily, but with a hint of excitement.
"Orochimaru, hurry up. You know, what I don't like the most is waiting for others." Yura's mouth did not open, but the charm in his eyes disappeared instantly, like a puppet being manipulated, ventriloquism Transmission.
"I got it. Isn't this very familiar... You need to master this body before proceeding." "That's
good. Don't waste time and proceed as planned."
"Okay. Yura, let's go. "Orochimaru watched Scorpio's thoughts leave Yura's body, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked into an alley.
"Yes." A white dot flashed in the middle of Yura's eyes.
The mental state is exactly the same as Yamato...the original personality is suppressed, and the body is controlled by the implanted material. This kind of puppet that does not require manual control is perfect for infiltration and stealing intelligence.
"What you have to do now is to find the list of participating members, and then kill the ninjas above." Orochimaru revealed his voice and whispered. Two flower snakes had been released from his sleeves, and he felt them against the ground. Vibrations everywhere.
"As far as I know, Sunagakure only sent a team of genin, and their strength...is not much different from the students of the ninja school. May I ask, your intention in doing this..." Yura's original personality has been revealed, and he thinks about Sunagakure in his heart. Ideas cannot be hidden.
"Replace them with sound ninja. My genin is stronger and younger. Then, go call all the senior officials and hold a meeting." "
Yes. So, what do you want me to say?" Yura raised his head slightly, He met that pair of enchanting snake eyes.
"Haha, just be more direct. Otherwise, Scorpion will try to talk to me again. Let's just say...discuss the battle plan to conquer Konoha." With a teleportation technique, Orochimaru's body disappeared, leaving only Yura, slowly He slowly walked out of the alley, looked around, set a direction, and approached a Sunagakure jounin from behind.
"Brothers... gather in the conference room. We are attacking Konoha."
"What? Master Kazekage just came back... uh..." He was strangled by a thick arm around his neck, and he stuck out his tongue and was about to make a sound. The whole person was thrown towards the conference room.
"Don't you listen to what others say... Just go if you are told." Yura clapped his hands and turned to look for the next target.
If you want to cause trouble in the Chuunin Exams, it's not something you can do casually.
...
"Scorpion, ahem... Do you want to come in?" Orochimaru stopped next to a kind-faced old man, and his face under the mask trembled slightly.
"No, I don't have the right identity to go in. Anyway, as you said, don't keep me waiting too long." The old man's kind face fell instantly. He originally wanted to give Orochimaru some trouble, but he didn't expect to be seen through so easily. He felt really unhappy.
"I got it. Ahem... The Fourth Kazekage... It seems like the ninjas of Sunagakure still care about it. They've just been missing for four days and they're so worried." "
Who would sit back and wait for death after losing their Kage? ? As far as I know... the Fourth Kazekage is the weakest in history." Xie turned around, covered his face, pointed his finger at the alley aside, and a tall "man" walked away out.
"The weakest in history... I wonder if those ninjas will agree to this proposal." The corners of the mouth under the mask raised again, and a frightening Yin Qi came out, which was extremely different from Luo Sha's natural indifferent face. consistent.
"Okay, no matter how weak he is, he is still Kazekage, at least the strongest Sunagakure." Xia waved his hand nonchalantly and followed the "man" into the alley.
"The strongest Sunagakure...is only at this level. Aren't the other ninjas...well, cough cough. Those four people poached by Yu Ling...could this plan really end in vain..."
... …
across an ocean, an isolated country.
"Who among us will go to the Chuunin Exam?" A very young-looking man sat on his seat with his legs crossed, looking down at the ninjas on the steps.
"Mizukage-sama, this is a peaceful era, so don't show off your strength too much. We have only chosen one team. You see..." An old man reported tremblingly, handing over three pieces of information with trembling hands.
"Is that just a ninja like this... Forget it, just replace it with something a bit more rubbish. Don't let them go out and embarrass themselves." The Fourth Mizukage threw the three documents on the ground contemptuously, not wanting to read more. One glance.
"Yes."
"Also, let's reject the plan proposed by Sunagakure. We don't need to wade into muddy waters, we can minimize the losses and just claim for compensation afterwards." Changing from his usual blunt style, this time the fourth generation Mizukage did not choose to take advantage of the chaos, but instead adopted a retreat strategy.
"Yakura! What do you want to do? Do you want us Kirigakure to show weakness? This has never happened in so many years!" A middle-aged ninja relied on his good friendship with Mizukage to publicly show his weakness in the name of the village. Challenge. While roaring, he didn't forget to win over the people around him.
"Don't make trouble." He frowned coldly, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, a bunch of coral grew from the feet of the naysayer, directly bleeding the person and leaving holes in them.
"Of course I have my own considerations when doing things, and it is for the best interests of the village. I am waiting for you...think about yourself first before speaking."
