#151 - Chapter 151 Two-handed Arrangement
"What's the background of these three little brats?"
A cool breeze swept through, over a domed building outside the Sand Clan's headquarters.
Honoka, with Daikoku, Ishitomo, and Gravel, who had returned from the Land of Demons, watched the battle in the distance with some surprise.
This was one of Rasa's arrangements.
Since he knew that the Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud Villages had impure motives this time, how could Rasa not prepare a backup plan?
Maki led the Anbu, responsible for the overt surveillance of the Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud Village ninjas.
Secretly, Honoka led the Hidden Mobile Unit.
Although the number of people in the shadows was somewhat small, Honoka's sensory abilities surpassed all members of the Sand Village Anbu.
Hearing Honoka's question, Daikoku, one of the three, replied.
"That little boy is Kunimi, Lord Mikawa's child. The little girl who broke free from the Hidden Cloud Village ninja's genjutsu is Sara, Lady Shingu's daughter. The other little girl is a child of an ordinary commoner named Maki. These three children are in the same class this year."
Honoka's eyes lit up, and the doubts in her heart were resolved.
So, it was the child of that woman named Shingu?
No wonder Honoka sensed the presence of Sage Art energy from her body.
Honoka clearly remembered Rasa saying that the Dragon Oasis Sage Art energy came from the once-existing Loran where Shingu was located.
And the Queen of Loran, like the priestess of the Land of Demons, was naturally able to use the power of the Dragon Vein.
Now, naturally, it is Sage Art energy!
This little kid named Kunimi is also very good. As a child, he was able to barely withstand a few moves from a Hidden Cloud Village Jonin.
However, it was only barely withstanding a few moves.
"Go and help them. By the way, notify the Sand Clan that they were ambushed by Hidden Cloud Village ninjas near their clan's territory. Their vigilance is too low."
The three looked at each other, but their movements were not slow at all.
Kunimi and Sara's identities were extraordinary and could not be lost!
Kunimi, who was manipulating Iron Sand and fighting with the Hidden Cloud Village Jonin below, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the appearance of the Anbu.
He immediately protected Sara and Maki and retreated, leaving the area to the Anbu.
"So fast! ?"
"It can't be helped, for the village!"
The Hidden Cloud Village ninjas looked grim when they saw the appearance of the Sand Village Anbu, but they were already prepared to sacrifice themselves. This is the destiny of a ninja...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the building where the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas were staying in the Sand Village.
Tsuchida sat quietly here.
Time slowly passed!
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
A ninja wearing the Hidden Cloud Village forehead protector walked in, kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression.
Seeing this, Tsuchida already understood, and sighed.
"Failed?"
"Yes! The Sand Village also has sensory ninjas, and their sensory abilities are better than mine. Dongrai and the others were exposed as soon as they acted."
Although Tsuchida had known that the plan would not go so smoothly, he was still somewhat disappointed that it was a direct failure.
"In other words, you didn't get any useful information?"
"Hmph!"
"I understand!"
Tsuchida directly took out a scroll, used the Summoning Technique to summon a lizard, handed the scroll to the lizard, and said to the ninja kneeling on the ground.
"Since the first step of the plan has failed, then we can only proceed to the second step. Let you do it yourself!"
"Hmph!"
Watching the ninja leave, a trace of coldness flashed across Tsuchida's expression...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the desert outside the Sand Village.
Taking advantage of the night, the Hidden Rock Village ninjas, led by their leader, also relied on intelligence to sneak onto the cliff and saw the existence of the oasis.
This made them all excited.
"Great!"
"As long as we follow this oasis forward, we will definitely be able to find the source of the Sand Village's green miracle."
Looking at the excited crowd, the ninja in charge of this operation said with a serious expression.
"Everyone, act carefully. Even if we sacrifice our lives, we must investigate clearly and pass the information here to the village!"
"Hmph!"
No one had any complaints.
This is the destiny of a ninja, to sacrifice one's life for the village!
The group of four immediately moved along the forest towards the depths of the desert!
As the four disappeared.
Two white figures emerged from the desert.
"Oh my, have the Hidden Rock Village ninjas finally set off? Are the spores ready?"
"Don't worry, this is something Lord Madara arranged!"
"That's good, it's just a pity. If Lord Madara's current state wasn't so bad, we could have gone ourselves!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't forget that the other party has someone who can sense our existence. If your negligence causes Lord Madara's existence to be exposed, Lord Madara will really kill you."
"Okay... how scary!"
And not long after, Dragon Oasis.
Hanataba, who was cultivating here, also opened her eyes when she sensed something.
She said to Elder Chiyo, who was studying a pile of puppets under the light.
"Grandma Chiyo, I feel it. There are four powerful chakras rapidly moving towards here!"
Chiyo's expression was cold.
"Have they finally come? Since they're here, don't leave. I'll just try out the latest puppets I've created!"
Looking around, there were nine huge puppets hanging on the walls of the house. From the outside, they were very similar to the legendary Tailed Beasts, but they were much smaller and looked somewhat crude.
This was a new type of puppet created by Chiyo based on Rasa's request, combining the Dragon Vein Puppet Technique and Sage Art energy obtained from Loran.
Thus, in the dark night, under the seemingly peaceful and lively Sand Village, the contest between the three major ninja villages had just begun...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two hours passed quickly.
After the banquet ended, at Rasa's invitation, the priestess of the Land of Demons came to the Kazekage's home as a guest.
As for Mikawa and Shingu, they did not follow.
Because they had already heard about what happened during the banquet and went home to care for their families.
Yakura rushed back to Dragon Oasis.
In Rasa's small home, Miku, who had changed into casual clothes, also met Rasa's wife, Karura, Honoka, and his brother-in-law, Yashamaru.
Because it was a family banquet, the atmosphere was not as formal as the banquet just now. In addition, with Honoka, an acquaintance, Miku quickly became familiar with Karura. The three women chatted happily. Rasa and Yashamaru stayed for a while before leaving the space to them and came to the outer balcony.
As a brother-in-law, Yashamaru was still a little nervous being with Rasa, who was the Kazekage.
Fortunately, Rasa took the initiative to start a conversation and chat for a few words, which made Yashamaru relax a lot.
Just like that, more than ten minutes later, Maki's figure appeared.
However, his expression was extremely ugly, which made Rasa frown and ask.
"Did something happen?"
Maki, with cold sweat on his forehead, knelt on the ground and said.
"Kazekage-sama, please punish me..."
