Chapter 458: Another Collision
The cold wind whipped up the wind and sand, which could cut the exposed skin and scarred it.
Even a powerful ninja will not go out at will in such weather, and if you don't take protective measures, you will inevitably be embarrassed.
Uchiha Sasuke, Hayashio Yuri, and Old Purple Wind came to the outskirts of Sand Hidden Village, dodging waves of patrols, and finally approached the city wall without danger.
Looking at the fortress built according to the mountain not far away, there are also lookout arrow towers erected on it, and at the firing port of the female wall, you can vaguely see the ballistae ready to fire.
With this posture, not to mention a few ordinary ninjas attacking, even if the tailed beast approached, it was estimated that they would be beaten half-crippled.
In the end, it is one of the five major ninja villages, even if it declines, it is not something that a few renegade ninjas can match head-on.
Sneak in and find your target in order to be captured.
Of course, Uchiha Sasuke's purpose is not to capture people, nor does he want to collect tailed beasts.
He came here to negotiate with the Sand Hidden Village and put pressure on them to allow the Iyo Self-Help Association to obtain the legitimate rights and interests of its activities in the Land of Winds.
It stands to reason that after the order of one village and one country is established, there can be no second ninja force that can obtain official status in the same country. If all this is to be changed, the correct thing for Uchiha Sasuke to do is to go to the daimyo and ask him for an order to determine that the Sand Hidden Village is illegal, and to change Uchiha Sasuke and others to the legitimate leader of the Ninja Village.
It's just that this is definitely not going to work. Putting aside the fact that the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind disagrees, even if this is done, Sand Shinobu doesn't admit it, and nothing can be changed. The daimyo did hold the righteous and secular authority, but that didn't mean that they had the initiative, and they could even directly command the sand shinobi.
Therefore, Uchiha Sasuke had already sent an official letter to Sand Hidden Village.
It's a pity that in the face of the evil guests who are about to come to the door, the elders of Shayin Village don't take it seriously at all, and are still busy fighting for power and profit, using the next candidate for the fifth generation of the Wind Shadow as an excuse to plan for their own selfish interests.
Without getting any reply, Sasuke Uchiha naturally didn't wait, and came to the door at the end of this cold winter.
When Uchiha Sasuke reported his name, the sand shinobi guarding the door was also inexplicable, but the other party said that there was already an invitation to meet, so naturally he still had to report it and let the village leaders decide.
After a long time, Lao Zi and Lin Yuyu, who were waiting impatiently, were about to go crazy, and the door opened, and several sand ninjas with unkind faces welcomed the three of them in.
Negotiating with the traitor is not a good thing, and if it spreads, it will damage the reputation of Shayin Village.
"Are we going deep into the tiger's den?"
Lin Yuyu Yuli is very unaccustomed to the dry climate of Shayin Village, the wind and sand that makes her skin crack, and the smoke and dust in the air make her feel uncomfortable.
Lao Zi, who saw that there were more people in the world, drank a few sips of wine, moistened his throat, and said casually:
"The current sand ninja is like a wounded jackal licking his wounds, and he won't go to war with us when he doesn't have to."
"With Konoha Village to support them, can't you?"
"If the strength is not good, no matter how much foreign aid there is, what's the use?"
Lao Zi sneered disdainfully,
"A ninja village that can't even choose a 'shadow', what's there to be afraid of? If they had the courage, they would not have been defeated in the south."
It's not that Lao Zi looks down on the sand ninja, it's that all the rock ninjas don't look down on the sand hidden village that is struggling to survive in the yellow sand.
A rock ninja, it would be hellish to be able to see the sand ninja.
The three of them were taken deep into the interior of Shayin Village, into a fairly atmospheric building, and after resting in peace, they waited patiently.
But until the afternoon of the next day, no one came to talk to him, so that Sasuke Uchiha and the others realized that something was wrong.
"What's going on?"
Uchiha Sasuke's question, Hayashi Yuri and Lao Zi were also speechless.
"It seems that your Uchiha name is not easy to use, if I had known, I shouldn't have let you
I'm a leader."
Facing Uchiha Sasuke's embarrassed face, Hayashi Yuri teased casually, not worrying about anything at all, Lao Zi didn't have any troubled thoughts at all except for caring about his empty wine gourd.
It wasn't until the evening, when several people and machines were already a little impatient, that someone informed them that the five generations of the Wind Shadow had summoned them.
"You have five generations?"
Sasuke Uchiha asked in surprise.
The guide's face was a little tangled, and he didn't know where to answer.
"There will definitely be five generations, but ......"
Before he could answer, the place arrived.
"With all due respect, you can inquire for yourselves."
Pushing open the door, the three of them entered a secluded living room, still in a traditional style, different from the fashionable fashion of the East Coast.
Behind the bamboo curtain, Iara, dressed in a proper formal attire, walked out, beckoned the three of them to kneel on the tatami mats, served matcha in person, and asked slowly.
"What do you have to teach you when you have come from afar?"
"Are you the fifth generation of the Kazekage?"
Lao Zi couldn't help but sneer,
"Why haven't you heard anyone talk about it?"
"Difficult birth" for a year and a half of the five generations of the wind shadow, and finally chose this child, it's ridiculous.
I replied disappreciatively:
"It's been a long time ago, it's just not made public."
There is no public wind shadow, does it count?
Sasuke Uchiha and Lao Zi looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
"Can you call the shots?"
"Yes. However, implementation may take time. I plan to restart the Shinobi exam in the middle of the year, and we will jointly host it from the Sand Hidden Village and the Konoha Village, and I will take this opportunity to announce it to the world."
"Okay."
Sasuke Uchiha nodded helplessly.
The opponent in the middle ninja exam that year actually became a wind shadow quietly.
Although it is a little strange, the situation of the other party does not seem to be very good, and Sasuke Uchiha is too lazy to meddle with other people's affairs.
"I'll be straightforward, I want to gain a foothold in the southern border of the Land of Winds, and I hope to demarcate a sphere of influence with Sand Shinobi."
"Is that what you mean, or does it represent someone who is giving the ultimatum?"
"This is the consensus of our southerners."
"Southerners?"
My Airo's face remained unchanged, and he asked rhetorically for a long time,
"You are the traitor of Konoha Village, this Ringo Yuuri, is the rebel of Fog Hidden Village, as for this walker dressed as a wandering monk, I'm afraid it's a four-tailed human pillar force, right? I think it's ridiculous that you can represent the southerners of the Land of Wind."
"There's nothing funny about that. We now have de facto control over the south, and even if you don't admit it, it won't help, and instead of being unclear, it is better to make a clear defense of this and resolve the contradictions."
"I shouldn't talk about it."
"Even if it's the Kazekage?"
"Especially the Kazekage."
I said categorically,
"We, the Sand Ninja, are the armed forces of the Wind Country, if we surrender without a fight, what will others think? Even if there is such a day, it should be decided by the great name. We ninjas, after all, are not worldly owners, only daimyo have this qualification."
"I know, it's just that convincing you in advance and going to the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind will save a lot of trouble."
"I don't agree, the responsibility for losing the land can't be borne by me, and I can't admit defeat by doing nothing."
"Haven't you already thrown in the towel?"
If you poke your heart, I am speechless.
After a long time, he said very earnestly:
"Let's put this on hold for now. The year before last, I gave up the battle with you halfway, and there was no winner or loser, but now, can we continue the competition of the year and see who is the winner of the year?"
Uchiha Sasuke said with some impatience:
"Do you think that if you win me, you will be the strongest in the mid-ninja exam that year? Let's not say you can't do it for the time being
I'm afraid that if you can really do it, you can win the fragrant phosphorus?"
"It's hard to say."
I love Luo said leisurely,
"I haven't actually fought it, so I can't prove anything."
"Okay, if you want, I'll accompany you."
-----------------
Since coming to the Land of Winds, Uchiha Sasuke has encountered many strong opponents, with more wins and fewer defeats, only when facing Ringo Yuri, he has lost more miserably, but that was a few months ago.
Uchiha Sasuke thinks that his strength has improved quickly, and in a month or two, he can catch up a lot, and if he fights again, maybe there is still a possibility of victory.
As for my Airo in front of him, Uchiha Sasuke doesn't think that he is worse than him, he was still an immature newcomer to Shiro, and he was able to seriously injure my Airo, not to mention now.
It's just that when it comes to a real fight, the situation seems to be a little wrong.
In the face of the sand manipulation secret technique, the fire escape is useless at all, with a speed and reflexes that surpass the opponent by a large margin, but can go around behind and carry out a strike.
However, Iara's defense is too strong, and as a human pillar power, his chakra power is far more abundant than that of Sasuke Uchiha, and he has more outstanding recovery power.
If he can't rely on his explosive power to quickly defeat Iara, Uchiha Sasuke is at risk of defeat.
After nearly ten minutes of fierce fighting, he cast a thousand birds and broke through my Airo's defenses, but did no damage.
Realizing his previous tricks, Sasuke Uchiha, who had no choice but to do it, unceremoniously pulled out the Excalibur Oni Kiri, which had not been in his hands for a long time, and relied on the sharp blade and the powerful cutting ability attached to Chidori, and finally was able to effectively restrain the play of the Magnetic Escape Sand Manipulation Secret Technique.
Even so, in this environment that is more suitable for the power of the one-tailed human pillar, Uchiha Sasuke did not take advantage, after nearly half an hour of hard fighting, the chakra was almost consumed, and even the curse mark of the sky was a little uncontrollable, Uchiha Sasuke, who did not want to expose all his hole cards in the "away", stopped the figure of rushing to attack.
"What, don't continue?"
"If you go down, it's not about fighting, it's about dying."
"As the Wind Shadow, it is also a great honor to die in battle for the Sand Hidden Village."
"I didn't realize that you were a joke teller."
In such a ghost place, it is neither honorable nor honorable to die in battle because of inexplicable things.
"That's all for today, I think that each other should know each other's strength, and don't make unnecessary temptations. You Shayin Village, who else has a master of your strength?"
"Individual strength can say a lot, but it's not all. In our village, there are thousands of ninjas who can fight well, ...... you."
I glanced at each other contemptuously,
"A few traitors, what kind of climate can they become?"
I've already figured it out, if the other party is really confident, there is no need to come to the trouble of Shayin Village at all, create a fait accompli, and then stand on its own, just do it.
It is precisely because of the lack of strength and the lack of the full support of the real big backers and big financiers that they have to come here to negotiate.
Today, I Airo, who takes the five generations of the Wind Shadow as his own responsibility, has more or less a strategic vision for governing the country.
If Konoha Village or the Furusugi family really fully supported it, it would not be the three traitors of Uchiha Sasuke, Hayashi Yuri and Lao Zi who came forward at all.
Although the village has effectively lost control of the southern part of the Wind Country, it is not without room for recovery.
As for how to do it, I Ai Luo didn't know, but he understood that with his current reputation, he couldn't even handle the internal affairs of Shayin Village.
Even if he really becomes a real village chief, he is alone by relying on sand forbearance.
If you want to maintain the interests of Shayin Village, you must seek the support of Konoha Village, and then indirectly affect the determination of the Gusugi family behind it, especially Gusugi Bushui.
"Guys, please go back, at least for now, and we're not going to give up on that. Or ......"
I Ai Luo looked at Lin Yuri and Lao Zi with different attitudes,
"You're going to go up together?"
"The tone is really not small, the little ghosts of this year, one is more arrogant than the other."
Lin Yuli couldn't help but sneer a few times,
"If I have a chance, I want to fight you, now......
glanced at Uchiha Sasuke and Lao Shi,
"Let's go, and we'll come back another day for advice."
Fortunately, the school field where Sasuke Uchiha and I Airo are studying is outside the village, but I am afraid that the space in the village will be too cramped, so I will be constrained and accidentally break something from before.
Now......
The three people who were moving quickly to the southeast released their perceptions to the rear from time to time, and one by one, shadows that were almost integrated with the yellow sand were rapidly approaching.
"Did I do it?"
Uchiha Sasuke's face was very ugly, and he couldn't help complaining, Lao Zi smiled, and after making a few trigger traps with Meltaway, he quickened his pace to keep up, and replied slowly:
"Probably not, as he said before, there should be people who can't be mobilized and want to take advantage of people's danger. Three S-class traitors, if they can win it, it will be very powerful."
"Am I so weak that I'm seen as a soft persimmon, and a school of trash fish wants to try my hand?"
In a place that Uchiha Sasuke didn't notice, the saber ghost cut exploded with Uchiha Sasuke's negative emotions, and sent wisps of black weird energy into his body, and after a while, the more he thought about it, the more angry the boy stopped.
"It seems that if we don't kill chickens and monkeys, we will be underestimated."
Lao Zi and Lin Yuyu Yuri also turned around,
"That's right, if you don't kill a few people, wouldn't it be for nothing?"
