Naruto who made a lot of money at the beginning

Far away from Konoha and even outside the Land of Fire, the Kingdom of Forests, what you can see is a country that can't be seen to the edge, wrapped in endless yellow sand and full of exotic customs.

The Country of Wind, one of the five major countries in the Ninja Continent

The temperature difference between day and night here is huge. During the day, the sun is so scorching that it is almost melting. Breaking an egg on the ground will make it ripe instantly. At night, the temperature instantly drops to more than ten degrees below zero, which is comparable to being near glaciers and snow-capped mountains.

Compared to the subsequent Fire Country, which was extremely rich in mild products and resources, the Wind Country was a country extremely short of resources, especially water.

They are scorched by the scorching sun during the day and blown by yellow sand, and endure the harsh winter-like cold at night. The people who survive in such a harsh environment are far more resilient than in other places. The lack of resources makes the people living in the Country of Wind live below the subsistence line for many years, and the population is also the smallest among the five major countries. Ninjas who survive in this environment take the route of elite soldiers.

Sand Ninja Village, in a secret room underground. Under the dim candlelight, several figures swayed.

One of them is the Kage of Sand Ninja Village in the Land of Wind, the Third Kazekage. Compared to the Third Hokage, the Third Kazekage is much younger.

The Third Kazekage is a middle-aged man with dark blue hair and tawny pupils.

Wearing a blue Kazekage suit, unlike Naruto's comfortable silk cloak, Kazekage's cloak is made of coarse linen, which is less beautiful but can resist the invasion of wind and sand to a certain extent.

"White Fang of Konoha?" The Third Kazekage flipped through the information in his hand and smiled contemptuously. Then, his originally kind and handsome face suddenly became extremely distorted, and his face changed faster than Sichuan Opera.

"I want him to die!"

A few words were squeezed out from between the teeth, and the voice contained endless hatred and anger.

During the Second Ninja War, Sakumo Hatake, known as the White Fang of Konoha, appeared most often on the Sand Ninja battlefield. In that war that lasted for several years, he made great achievements for Konoha, but also caused many indelible pain to Suna Ninja Village.

Many talented ninjas who had just risen to fame perished in his hands.

Among them were Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, the twin stars of Sand Ninja Village. Known as the genius couple most likely to surpass the puppet ancestor Monzaemon.

The most feared assassination ninja, Konoha White Fang.

Specialized in killing geniuses!

And the person who sent the Twin Stars to fight was none other than his third generation Kazekage. Afterwards, many people criticized him and said that it was the third generation who did it deliberately in order to eliminate dissidents. At that time, the third generation Kazekage had only been in power for a short time and his position was not yet secure. In fact, the Third Kazekage had never thought of it this way.

As an ambitious person, he wanted to bring Konoha Village into the Suna Ninja's territory rather than secure his position as Kazekage in Suna Ninja Village.

How could he deliberately kill the genius of his village?

Sand Ninja Village is different from Konoha. What they lack most is people!

"Sir, your wish will come true!" A man wearing a large black robe and a hat knelt half-kneeling in front of the Third Kazekage, half of his face in the shadows and the other exposed half showed madness: "He is dead! This time! He is dead!"

"Not just us, there are many people in Iwa Ninja Village, Cloud Ninja Village, Mist Ninja Village, Rain Ninja Village... there are many people who want him to die!" Then he spoke again and told a chilling fact.

"Even including them Konoha themselves."

"Once the whereabouts are revealed, the so-called number one assassination ninja is just a joke. The assassin is the one hiding in the dark. On the surface, he is just a slightly stronger elite jounin."

"As long as he comes, he will definitely die!"

The confidence revealed in the voice infected the Third Kazekage. He seemed to have seen the tragic death of the figure who woke him up from countless nightmares.

Damn White Fang! He must die!

Even though he agreed with the other party's words from the bottom of his heart, he still said: "Don't be careless, Konoha White Fang's reputation is not in vain. He is not as simple as an elite jounin. His strength is compared to the Kage of other villages. Not much humility.”

As a shadow of a village, one cannot reveal what is in one's heart casually, not to mention that the other party is not a Suna ninja.

"I understand, sir. But a helpless shadow, no matter how strong he is, can't stand alone. He is just alone, at best, with a few kittens and puppies that can't survive. There is absolutely no problem in leaving it to us." He behaved very humbly in front of the Third Kazekage, and this attitude made the Third Kazekage very comfortable.

A shadow is only a shadow if there is a village standing behind it, otherwise it is just a stronger ninja.

It is impossible to turn the tide of the war with one person, at least not in this era where tailed beasts are invincible by manpower.

"It's best to leave it to you. I will mobilize the troops to assist you, I will give you enough resources, and I can even lend you my shadow guards. But I have to emphasize again that once the matter is exposed, , I don’t want my identity to be leaked. Especially from the mouths of you rats.”

As a Kazekage, he would go to great lengths to design a Konoha ninja, even if he is a candidate elite Jonin for the Shadow of a Village, even if his strength has reached Kage level. After all, this kind of thing is disgraceful. When word spread, it was thought that Suna Ninja Village was afraid of Konoha.

Especially since this incident also involves several other villages.

Even if an agreement is reached secretly, at least it cannot be exposed openly.

The man in black robes and hats repeatedly assured that he was not dissatisfied at all with the Third Kazekage calling him a mouse.

They are rats living in the dark.

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

"We will not let you down..."

At the same time, the same situation was happening in other major villages. As the man in the hat said, Konoha's White Fang has offended too many people, and too many people want him to die.

And in Konoha...the Third Hokage personally summoned Sakumo alone.

After handing a scroll to Sakumo, he solemnly said:

"After several years of recuperation after the Second Ninja War, several other major ninja villages have begun to stir up trouble again. I have just received urgent information that there is something unusual at the border of the Land of Earth, and the Iwa Ninjas will have a major attack in the near future. Action. The intelligence source is very reliable, so I need you to go there. This mission is very important to Konoha, and it is related to the war that may break out at any time. Be sure to bring important information back."

"Top secret mission, S-level."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Hatake Sakumo accepted the order without saying a word.

The team members were quickly gathered, and a team of four was immediately formed, headed by Hatake Sakumo, and set off towards the Earth Country that night.

There is no doubt, only the ability to carry out the action to the end. With such subordinates, no matter who is the leader, he will like it very much. It's just that some colleagues don't necessarily like it.

Night is a barrier to the activities of countless creatures that inhabit the darkness. The more it looks like blooming flowers, the more it is actually withered branches and leaves. There are gold and jade outside, but inside there is decay.

Where the sun cannot be found, the darkness becomes nastier.

Light and shadow have always been a complementary pair. The more light prevails, the faster darkness grows.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.
