Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

The Kingdom of the Wind, the West.

This is a boundless sea of ​​sand. It seems that there is only endless yellow between heaven and earth. The air is filled with a dry and hot breath, and you can feel the roughness of the sand when you breathe.

The scorching sun shines on the soft sand, reflecting a dazzling light that is almost impossible to look directly at. When the wind blows, sand waves rise up.

On the huge sand dune, two people were walking slowly. Strangely, no one left footprints on the sand.

"To be honest, I really hate this kind of environment."

Shen Yu shook his head. In the scorching hot environment, the water vapor content in the air was pitifully low, causing him to feel physically uncomfortable.

"I finally understand why the First Kazekage would rather give up the tailed beasts than give up the territory." He said thoughtfully: "If it were me, I would probably declare war on Konoha."

"Teacher, you are such a joker."

On the side, Orochimaru smiled, and the smile on his pale face looked a little sinister.

"The First Kazekage was not as strong as you. Besides, at that time, Konoha had Hashirama Senju."

"That's true." Shen Yu nodded.

A day ago, several people learned about the current predicament of the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Whirlpools. In order to completely win over the hearts of the people, Shen Yu decided to help.

Are you kidding? The Uzumaki clan is his henchmen now. It would save him a lot of effort if he could warn the current Kazekage and Mizukage and tell them not to have any bad intentions towards the Uzumaki clan.

At the banquet, Shenyu asked Kushina and Kongmei to find the photos of the missing tribesmen, and through the pupil technique "Kyuenbiko", they easily tracked down the missing people.

Fortunately, they are all still alive.

But unfortunately, they were imprisoned in a desert bunker and a humid dungeon respectively. Through "observation" of clues in the target's surrounding environment, they immediately determined that they were captured by the ninjas from the Sand Village and the Mist Village.

This just confirms Shen Yu's guess.

Since the "wedge" seal was sealed, Shen Yu was unable to open the portal and in order to maximize efficiency, the four decided to split into two groups.

Kamiya will take Orochimaru to the Land of Wind, while Mitsuru will take Nen to the Land of Water. Their purpose is to rescue the captured members of the Uzumaki clan and at the same time to scare the two ninja villages into a show of force.

For Shen Yu, this time he said he was going to carry out a rescue mission, but in fact it was just "training".

Orochimaru has stayed in the laboratory for so many years, and although he never forgets to practice every day, the lack of actual combat is inevitable. Frankly speaking, his current strength may not be as strong as Orochimaru in the same period of the original time and space.

This is a good training opportunity. I have my own backup and I only need to rescue others in life-and-death crisis.

As for the Water Country, Kanaba is even less worried. Whether it is Uchiha Hikaru or Uchiha Nen, even if they are taken out alone, they can easily subdue the tailed beasts.

Looking at the entire ninja world, they are the only lineage that possesses both the Mangekyō Sharingan and the power of Wood Release.

The master and the disciple chatted as they walked, and soon, a large fortress appeared at the end of their sight.

From the outside, this fortress is obviously a fortress, continuing the architectural style of the Kingdom of Wind. It is completely built of ochre sandstone. From a distance, it seems to blend in with the sand dunes on the ground.

This is the place that Nian locked remotely through his eye technique, and where Uzumaki Haruna and other members of the reconnaissance team are being held.

"Master, what should we do?" Orochimaru looked at Shenyu with a questioning look.

"What should we do?" Shen Yu frowned slightly, then clapped his hands, "Just charge in and massacre the entire fortress."

Such sinister words came out of his mouth, but Shen Yu's expression did not fluctuate at all, as if he was going to swat a fly to death, calm and composed.

Orochimaru nodded heavily, his golden vertical pupils shrank slightly, and he looked determined.

But Shen Yu had just taken a step when he suddenly stopped, sensing that a powerful force was rapidly approaching the fortress.

He raised his eyebrows and showed an interested look.

"What's wrong, Master?" Orochimaru raised his head in confusion.

"Don't be in a hurry. There's a good show about to start." Shen Yu didn't act in a hurry. He sat cross-legged on the ground and watched what happened.

Orochimaru was a little confused, but his master had his reasons for speaking, so he followed Shenyu's example and sat there obediently.

They were located on a high sand dune, from which they could clearly observe everything that happened outside the fortress.

Sure enough, within a few moments, a group of people surrounded the fortress below. They were wearing tight clothes, tight black vests, black gauze wristbands, their faces were all covered, their chakra was at the level of Jonin, and they came with great momentum.

"Psychicism!"

A faint sound was brought by the wind, followed by a burst of white smoke that slowly dissipated with the yellow sand. Inside the fortress, a huge dark red snake rose slowly, raising its head high.

Its body was quite huge. With only half of its body, it was taller than the fortress, and its head was much bigger than a pub. The skin folds on its neck were swollen, as if it had spread out a pair of wings, and dark red scales covered its entire body like armor, emitting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Then, a tiny figure suddenly appeared on the top floor of the fortress.

The man was wearing a loose snake suit, his bare arms were wrapped in bandages, his resolute face had a pair of white eyes, and his gray-blue hair was combed into a prickly backcombed style.

The moment he saw him clearly, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, because this man was known as the strongest Kazekage in the history of the Sand Village, the Sand Kazekage who succeeded the Second Kazekage shortly after his death!

"A bunch of rats, how dare you come to our territory to mess things up? You really underestimated me!"

The big red snake spoke in human language with a rough and powerful voice that could be heard clearly even from a long distance.

The Third Kazekage stood on top of the fortress, his face full of fighting spirit, "We must defend this fortress to the death. Do a good job, Xinya!"

"Huh? Who are you talking to, kid!" Orochi Xinya said with dissatisfaction. He glanced at the Third Kazekage with a little contempt, and looked down at the enemies with a fierce and brutal gaze. "You should just work harder!"

"Of course, today's mission must be completed beautifully!"

The Third Kazekage chuckled, showing no anger at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and landed steadily on the head of the Great Snake Xinya.

"Oh!" Xinya said as a matter of course: "Our team will never lose!"

The man and the snake immediately rushed out of the fortress. The huge snake body meandered forward, stirring up dust and sand into the sky, and then it dived into the crowd.
