A sunny afternoon.

Inside Kikyo Castle, hundreds of Konoha ninjas are recuperating here, preparing for the upcoming general attack on the sand hide.

The upper ninja of Orochimaru's and Nara's Shikaku troops, after returning here a few days ago, couldn't help but be curious, and asked the ninjas who participated in the battle of Mt. Tottori about the situation from time to time.

And Konoha Baimang Yintai naturally attracted widespread attention from everyone.

Every time he goes out, he will be greeted with a lot of eyes, which makes him very uncomfortable for him who is used to keeping a low profile.

After the battle, Chakra recovered and began to treat the wounded of friendly soldiers, a move that instantly made many ninjas praise in their hearts.

Even ninjas who hadn't seen Ginta's strength with their own eyes recognized his name after he came to his rescue.

There are also many ninjas who have survived to this day, only to remember that they only saved their lives last year under Ginta's surgery, so they immediately turned into die-hard fans of Ginta and blew it to their companions around them.

Directly pushed its prestige to a new level.

"Okay, the ruptured wound on the liver, I've helped you repair it, remember not to move for the next few days."

In the makeshift medical room, Ginta completed another operation and left the room with a nod under the grateful gaze of the wounded.

Over the course of a few days, some of the ninjas who had suffered internal injuries in the battle were examined and treated by Ginta.

The sequelae of those hidden dangers in the body have been completely eradicated, and the ninja career can be continued...... Such kindness is enough for their respect for Ginta to reach its peak.

After leaving the medical room and going to the conference room in the city, Ginta reports the condition of all the wounded and the progress of recovery to Nara Shikaku.

"Ginta, although it's a bit impersonal to say this, I still have to remind you to pay attention to keeping chakra and using less medical ninjutsu......"

Nara Shikahisa smiled bitterly: "This is also an order from the top."

Because the village will soon launch a general attack on the sand and the country, trying to solve the problem of the country of Kawanoku once at once, and you are now one of the most important combat forces in the hands of our Konoha now. ”

Yintai said calmly: "I know in my heart that I will not delay the task of the village, and besides, the wounded have all been dealt with, so there is no need to spend any more energy." ”

"That's good." Lu Jiu smiled, and then handed him a scroll: "This is what the village asked me to transfer to you, the letter of appointment of the upper ninja." ”

"Although it seems to me that this is too late, I still have to say as is customary, congratulations, we will all be colleagues in the future."

Yinta took the scroll and smiled back: "Thank you for the recognition of Lujiu's predecessors, I believe in your wisdom, Konoha has never suffered in terms of tactics, and you are definitely the first to ......"

After the two exchanged business blows, Lu Jiu explained some war arrangements to Yinta, and then ended the conversation.

When Ginta left the conference room and walked around the city for a while, he was suddenly "stopped" by a large number of ninjas.

More than a dozen long-known ninjas, such as Kime Koto, Ebisu, Kira, and Bingba, were there, and they showed a rare smile when they saw him.

"Congratulations on becoming a shinobi." Gongdao grinned: "Although it is in wartime, it is not difficult to go to nearby towns to buy some high-quality ingredients, and you can enjoy it today." ”

"Yintai, the sauce-flavored chicken wings I made are absolutely delicious, and this time I will be cheaper for you." Ebisu pushes his sunglasses.

In order to celebrate Ginta's promotion to Shangnin, they decided to hold an impromptu banquet to allow everyone to relax and be regarded as a gift to Ginta.

"Really? Then I'd like to try it. Yinta smiled: "If you bake the lake, you can eat it all." ”

"How is that possible! I've practiced it at home......"

The crowd laughed and walked towards a clearing in the middle of the city.

At this moment, on the city wall, a certain ninja on patrol duty looked at the stopwatch and found that his teammate's code had not come in time, and he was alert.

"Captain Hayato, the Pinggu team in charge of patrolling outside the city has lost contact and requests an immediate investigation."

Hinata Hayato frowned and sealed with one hand.

Supercilious!

He looked at a forest outside the city, and after a few seconds of observation, his face changed.

In the field of vision, three Konoha ninjas have died, and more than a dozen people are running towards Kikyo.

"Be careful! There is an enemy attack! ”

The sirens sounded, and the Konoha ninjas in the city reacted quickly, some rushing to the city walls, others waiting for orders, each doing their duty.

The Lujiu team climbed the tower and asked anxiously, "What is the identity of the enemy?" ”

"It's the ninja of the sand hide, seventeen in all." Hinata Hayato reported, "For the time being, I don't know if there are any companions from the other side in the other directions. ”

Lu Jiu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Their main forces in Konoha are basically all in Kikyo City, so coming over and attacking it looks like sending them to death, but the problem is that the enemy is definitely not stupid, and there must be a big conspiracy to act like this.

"Orochimaru-sama is here, and Tsunade-sama and Mizuto haven't arrived yet...... The other party unexpectedly chose a special time...... "Lu Jiu's mind turned sharply:

"No, it's not an accident, there must be enemy spies hiding inside us...... Then the only target of Shayin can only be...... All Konoha ninjas? ”

He shouted, "Sense ninja, immediately pay attention to movement in the other three directions outside the city!" ”

It didn't take long to see more than a dozen figures rushing out of the forest and heading straight for Kikyo City.

"Lord Lujiu, there are also two sand hidden teams in the east, and they are approaching quickly!" A Konoha ninja ran to report: "And the south and north sides have not been found for the time being. ”

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Shikaku said in a deep voice: "Half of the ninjas are responsible for taking care of the wounded and serving as backups, and the rest of the squad comes up to fight. ”

"Yes!"

However, before the order from Konoha's side could be delivered, the Sand Hidden Team on the east and west sides of Kikyo Castle accelerated forward and killed near the city wall in the blink of an eye.

The Konoha ninjas moved together, throwing out a large number of ninja equipment in unison, and the black rain mixed with a strong sound of breaking wind rushed towards more than a dozen sand ninjas.

But the cloak figure at the front of the Sand Hidden team raised his hand, and the ground under his feet instantly turned into a golden wave of sand, rolling up, blocking all of Konoha's attacks.

"Four generations of Wind Shadow Rasha?"

As soon as the other party's ninjutsu came out, Lu Jiu and the other shinobi immediately recognized the identity of the person, and his face was full of solemnity.

Lu Jiu suddenly thought of something, Tong Kong shrank for a while, "The sand hidden team in the east is ......"

Thundered!

After a few fights and screams, there was a deafening loud bang.

The walls cracked, and countless stones flew into the sky, and then fell, causing the earth to tremble continuously.

As soon as Lu Jiu and the others turned around, they saw an earth-colored civet cat covered with purple stripes appeared on the edge of the city, its body was fat, as huge as a hill, and a thick and long giant tail hung behind it.

"The tailed beast of the sand hidden, a crane-tailed!"

Many Konoha ninjas suddenly changed color.
