The land of wind.
It is the largest country in the ninja world, but it is also the country with the harshest and most barren natural environment.
Because, desert areas without any vegetation occupy more than 90% of the land of the Kingdom of Wind, accompanied by extremely scarce rainfall, and only a few oasis areas are suitable for habitation.
Due to the scarcity of resources, the Kingdom of Wind has to rely on imports from the Kingdom of Fire for a large amount of production and living materials needed all year round.
In addition, the strength of Sunagakure Village has been suppressed by Konoha Village, resulting in the Kingdom of Wind being economically and militarily weaker than the Kingdom of Fire. Over time, it became the other party’s little brother.
Now, this situation is gone forever.
With the demise of the Fire Country, the Wind Country occupied a large amount of the opponent’s territory. For the first time in history, Sunagakure Village rode on Konoha’s head and dominated.
Speaking of Sunagakure.
This is a shinobi village located in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind, with an area about the same size as Konoha.
But compared with Konoha Village, which has green mountains, green waters and fresh air, this place is surrounded by desert. There are only deserts and stones in the village, and dust is flying all year round.
However, such a harsh natural environment is an excellent place to cultivate ninjas.
Today.
On the streets of Sunagakure, two ordinary villagers walked.
In fact, they are Kakashi and Tenzo possessed by Tobi respectively, and both of them used the wood transformation technique.
Wrap branches around one’s body to transform, transforming oneself into the appearance of others, which is extremely lifelike and cannot be seen through by ordinary people.
This kind of wood escape ninjutsu is very convenient for espionage investigation.
As former Konoha Anbu, the two of Kakashi have carried out a large number of missions, and have been to Sunagakure Village several times, so they are quite familiar with it.
Therefore.
When the Uchiha clan came near Sunagakure, the two of them volunteered to sneak into Sunagakure Village to find out the enemy’s number, strength and defense situation.
The two of them walked on the street and looked at the surrounding situation calmly.
The houses in Sunagakure have a very special shape. They are all large, circular earth and stone buildings, which can well resist the invasion of wind and sand. The windows are also sealed with glass.
Not long ago.
Taking advantage of the Sunagakure army’s expedition to Konoha, when the interior was empty, Amegakure’s ninja attacked Sunagakure, causing many casualties, and also took away Gaara, one of the Jinchūriki.
Later, bad news came back from the front line, saying that the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa was unfortunately killed in battle.
Rasa’s magnetic escape gold technique can pan for gold from the desert, which was once the main source of finance for Sand Hidden Village. His death would undoubtedly make matters worse for Sunagakure.
Fortunately, the war was won.
Sunagakure and other major ninja villages colonized Konoha and took away a large area of the Land of Fire.
The daimyo of the Land of Wind was originally very critical of Sunagakure, and once did not even entrust tasks to Sunagakure, but now he is smiling and generously allocates a large amount of military expenditures to Sunagakure.
After that, with the signing of the armistice treaty with Konoha, the Sunagakure ninjas half bought and half robbed, shipping a large number of high-quality and low-priced goods from Konoha.
After sucking Konoha’s blood, Sunagakure’s life suddenly got better.
This can be seen and heard from the joyful expressions of the Sunagakure ninjas and villagers on the street, as well as their chats and discussions.
The voices of several Sunagakure ninjas sounded behind the two Kakashi and Tenzo.
“After so many years, it’s finally our turn to be proud. I never thought that one day, Sunagakure ninjas would be able to enjoy super-national treatment and extraterritoriality in Konoha. It’s really exciting.”
“Not only that, as long as you join Sunagakure’s garrison in Konoha, all expenses and expenses will be provided by Konoha, and you can eat, drink and have fun as much as you like.”
“I have long heard that women in Konoha are fair and beautiful, unlike women in our place who are exposed to wind and sun all year round and are extremely rough.”
“Spending Konoha’s money and sleeping with the women of Konoha Village, this kind of fairy tale-like life is simply very satisfying.”
“Hurry up and sign up. If you are late, others will beat you to it.”
The more they talked, the more excited they became. They hurried past Kakashi and Tenzo and headed towards the Kazekage Building in a hurry.
Kakashi stopped and clenched his fists.
It was not the first time that he heard similar remarks from those people just now, but he still felt aggrieved and sad.
Tenzo also fell into silence.
Come back to your senses.
The two cheered up and continued their investigation work.
Arriving at the high point of a building near the Kazekage Building.
Byakugan, open!
Kakashi opened his Byakugan and scanned the Kazekage Building to get a rough idea of the personnel inside.
Then, the two of them followed the same pattern, spending half a day carefully avoiding the sight of the Sunagakure ninja and walking around the entire village.
As Kakashi expected.
Most of the ninjas in Sunagakure Village went to Konoha, and there were only about a thousand people left in the mainland, most of whom were chuunin and genin.
There are only a few jounin.
This kind of strength is simply vulnerable to the Uchiha clan.
But.
Just when the two were about to leave and report back to Fugaku, an episode suddenly occurred.
There was a quarrel on the street corner.
It stands to reason that quarrels among villagers are normal, usually because of trivial things, nothing worth paying attention to.
But Kakashi heard words like “Jinchuuriki”, “Gaara” and “monster” from the mouths of both sides of the argument.
The two looked at each other and leaned over calmly.
“Apologise immediately and take back what you just said, otherwise I will not hold back to you.”
A girl of about seven or eight years old, with her hands on her hips, stood in front of several tall Sunagakure ninjas and warned them very seriously.
The girl has warm yellow hair, her bangs are parted in the middle, and four ponytails are tied behind her head.
Her name is Temari, the only daughter of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the sister of Gaara, the First-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
Just now.
When Temari passed by the street corner, she heard these people talking about Gaara and said some very unpleasant things.
When she thought about her brother being kidnapped, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and having to be cursed by the villagers behind his back, Temari was so angry that she started to quarrel with these people.
“Apologise? Are you kidding me? Gaara, that damn brat, can’t control the tailed beast in his body. He loses control every time and goes on a rampage, killing so many people. He even wants us victims to apologize.”
“It would be the best thing for Sunagakure to get this kind of disaster out of the village as soon as possible.”
Several people didn’t take it seriously and looked at Temari condescendingly with expressions of contempt.
They knew that Temari was the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, but so what.
Although Rasa was a Kazekage, he had a sinister and cold personality, and his reputation during his lifetime was not very good. There were many people in Sunagakure who hated him privately.
Not to mention, he is already a dead person, and the tea will be cold when he is gone.
Abominable.
Temari clenched her fists, a fierce light flashing in her eyes.
As Gaara’s sister, she knows her brother’s loneliness better than anyone else.
Especially under the arrangement of his father, Gaara personally killed his uncle Yashamaru and fell completely into darkness. Temari became Gaara’s only link to the world.
She couldn’t bear the insults these guys insulted her brother.
“Oh, you want to do something?”
“Ignorant brat, your father just happened to be dead. Let’s educate you on his behalf.”
Several people also had fierce looks in their eyes. They took action on the spot.
Temari gritted her teeth and dealt with several people.
Although she is also a genius, she is too young after all, and limited by her body, her strength and speed are not enough.
Soon fell into disadvantage.
It would be unbearable to see a group of adults bullying a little girl, but Kakashi and Tenzo chose to watch indifferently.
After all, once they take action, it means one more risk of exposure.
The two of them didn’t find any valuable information and soon lost interest.
“Let’s go.”
Kakashi said something and turned to leave.
Behind them, Temari was knocked to the ground by several people, punched and kicked, and her body was covered with shoe prints and dust.
Just walked out not far.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old walked towards him, with silver-white hair and a pair of glasses, and he passed by Kakashi in a hurry.
“Huh.”
Tenzo suddenly let out a sigh, and a blurry face flashed in his mind.
“What’s wrong?” Kakashi asked.
“I seem to have seen that young man just now somewhere.” Tenzo frowned and looked back.
The silver-haired boy walked up to Temari, squatted down, and carefully helped her up.
“Here you go, apply it on the bruised area and it will be healed the next day.”
He took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, handed it to Temari, and said softly.
“Thank you.”
Temari hesitated for a moment and took the medicine bottle.
“You’re welcome.” The young man smiled warmly, like a big brother next door.
Seeing that the young man was a bit unfamiliar, Temari was about to ask him his name, but the latter stood up, waved to her, then turned and left.
Not far away.
“Do you recognize him?” Kakashi asked again.
“I remembered, he is Kabuto from the Konoha Orphanage.” Tenzo looked at the boy’s leaving figure, his eyes flashed, and he told the boy’s origins.
Kabuto, who lost his memory due to injury when he was young, was taken in by Yakushi Nonou, the director of Konoha Orphanage.
But later, because Danzo threatened Nonou, for the safety of the dean and the orphanage, Kabuto voluntarily surrendered to Danzo and worked for the latter as a ninja.
So.
Kabuto entered the root, was trained as a spy and left Konoha to collect intelligence in various countries and ninja villages. He is a person who is very good at disguising his whereabouts.
Later, due to some unknown reason, Kabuto betrayed the root organization like Tenzo, and since then he was out of Danzo’s control and disappeared.
Unexpectedly, after several years, he would meet Kabuto in Sunagakure Village.
Tenzo couldn’t help but wonder, who is Kabuto working for now, and why is he here?
“If there’s anything weird, follow me and take a look.”
Kakashi’s eyes narrowed and he made a decision.
After separating from Temari, Kabuto avoided crowded places and quickly walked into an uninhabited alley.
He hummed softly, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, held up his glasses with his hand, and a cold light flashed under the lenses.
Kabuto betrayed Danzo because the latter carefully arranged for him and the pharmacist Nonou to kill each other, and Nonou was like a mother to Kabuto.
Since that accidental killing, Kabuto felt that he had lost the meaning of survival.
However, Orochimaru, who was sent by Danzo to kill him, spared Kabuto’s life out of appreciation for Kabuto’s talent and invited the latter to join his command.
Since then, Kabuto has been working for Orochimaru.
He first followed Orochimaru’s order and pretended to follow the Sasori of the Red Sand, acting as a double agent to spy on Akatsuki’s intelligence.
With the death of Sasori and the disintegration of the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru fled to Sky Country and secretly established a small village called Sound Ninja.
Kabuto’s current identity is a spy of the Sound Ninja Village, and this time he is also ordered by Orochimaru to steal a certain secret of the Sunagakure Village.
The reason why he deliberately approached Temari just now was because she was the daughter of the Kazekage.
Kabuto is a very patient person.
In order not to arouse Temari’s suspicion, he played hard to get and didn’t even tell the other party his name.
He will gradually get closer to Temari, causing her to relax her vigilance, and then use this chess piece to get what he wants.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from outside the alley.
Hm?
Kabuto looked back and found a stranger walking straight towards him without saying a word.
He frowned, withdrew his gaze and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, a stranger appeared in front of him and blocked him in a pincer attack with the people behind him.
Exposed.
Kabuto’s expression changed, and he instantly realized where he had betrayed himself.
Before he had time to think about it, his eyes flickered, and several shurikens appeared in the palms of his hands, and he threw them at the two enemies respectively.
Then there was a “bang” sound, and a cloud of white smoke rose from the spot.
Under the cover of smoke bombs, Kabuto climbed over the wall and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the enemy’s strength.
Whoosh.
Several strong logs came from behind and instantly wrapped around Kabuto’s body, pulling him down from the wall.
Then, Kabuto’s eyes flashed as he saw a scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.
The next second.
His eyes were dull, controlled by the other party’s illusion.
Subsequently, Kakashi used the power of Sharingan to interrogate Kabuto, and got an important piece of information from the latter——
Orochimaru actually survived and secretly established the Otogakure.
“Senior, how do you plan to deal with this guy?” Tenzo asked
Kakashi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: “It’s best not to alert the enemy.”
He summoned Pakkun, the ninja dog he had raised for many years, and ordered the latter to smell Kabuto and remember Kabuto’s scent.
Then, Kakashi used a genjutsu to erase Kabuto’s memory, leaving the latter behind and left with Tenzo.
After a while.
Kabuto woke up and looked around blankly, his mind in chaos.
Could it be that I was too tired during this period and accidentally fell asleep?
He patted his head, took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief, but he still couldn’t remember what happened before he fell out.
In desperation, he had to give up temporarily.
Night falls.
In the night sky, dark clouds cover the moon, and there are only a few lights left in the village hidden in the sand.
The temperature difference between day and night in desert areas is very large, and the temperature drops sharply at night. Therefore, the villagers of Sunagakure do not have many recreational activities, and they all go to bed early.
When the entire Sunagakure fell into a deep sleep, danger was quietly approaching.
On a sand dune outside the village.
Suddenly, black shadows appeared one after another. At a rough count, there were hundreds of people.
It is the Uchiha clan.
“let’s start.”
Fugaku looked at the Sunagakure Village not far away expressionlessly, and ordered coldly.
