The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

Ye Cang was suddenly hit by a "Rasengan" from behind. She felt as if she was hit hard. She flew forward and then fell heavily to the ground. The irregular and high-speed rotating chakra continued to rage on her back, as if to tear her apart completely!

Ye Cang was completely unprepared, and his body was simply unable to withstand this powerful impact. He felt as if his internal organs were hit hard by a heavy hammer, causing unbearable pain. At the same time, a large amount of bright red blood gushed out of Ye Cang's mouth uncontrollably, drawing a "beautiful" blood line in the air...!

And all this actually happened in just such a short moment.

Seeing that Ye Cang was seriously injured by Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya also showed his ruthless side towards the enemy. He instantly appeared in front of Ye Cang, and a blue "dumpling" of the same type as Minato Namikaze appeared in his hand, wanting to end Ye Cang here!

However, Ye Cang was not destined to die after all, or in other words, the place where Minato Namikaze and Rasa fought was not too far away from the place where Jiraiya and Ye Cang fought. Just when Jiraiya was about to "destroy the flower with his ruthless hands", the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was deceived by Minato Namikaze, finally arrived in time at the last moment!

A wall of sand suddenly rose in front of Ye Cang, blocking the azure "Rasengan" and Jiraiya's footsteps, preventing him from moving forward even a single step!

It was the "Magnetic Style: Gold Sand" used by Luo Sha!

The sand wall standing in front of Ye Cang was flashing with dazzling golden light, like an indestructible fortress, giving her hope of surviving the dangerous situation!

Accompanied by a muffled sound and an explosion of chaotic chakra, for a moment, tiny shattered gold sand particles flew everywhere...!

Although the power of the Rasengan was very strong, Rasa, as the Fourth Kazekage, was no pushover. In the end, although Sakin's defense was successfully broken, the power of the Rasengan was almost gone. Moreover, Rasa himself had already used the Sand Instant Body to come in front of Ye Cang!!!

.........

On the other side, after a successful attack, Minato Namikaze did not stay for too long. Instead, he flashed and moved directly to the battlefield between Orochimaru and Chiyo, and then cooperated with Orochimaru to launch a surprise attack on Chiyo!

However, Chiyo's combat experience is much richer than Ye Cang's, and as a puppeteer, Chiyo is always on guard against being approached by others. Therefore, although the "Flying Thunder God Second Stage" that appeared on the battlefield for the first time broke the Sand Village's conventional understanding of the "Flying Thunder God Technique", Chiyo relied on her extremely experienced vision and ultimate control over the puppets and did not give Namikaze Minato the slightest chance to launch a surprise attack!

However, Chiyo was fine, but many of her puppets were damaged by Minato Namikaze's great power. Although the materials used by the "Chikamatsu Ten People" were of the best quality, they could not withstand the violent bombardment of Minato Namikaze's "Rasengan" one after another, as he kept flashing and moving among the puppets!

So, in just a few breaths, Chiyo's "Chikamatsu Ten" puppets were smashed to pieces by Namikaze Minato. Of the ten puppets, only six were left intact, while the remaining four puppets were already in a damaged state with limbs missing...!

But, that's it!

Although Chiyo's strength has declined due to the incompleteness of the "Chikamatsu Ten", Chiyo is still a veteran Kage-level powerhouse who has been immersed in puppetry for decades. Even if he is suppressed by Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato, he can protect himself in the short term!

I can only say that Chiyo is worthy of being the mainstay of the Sand Village!

.........

.........

.........

After a while, when Namikaze Minato continued to attack Chiyo's remaining puppets crazily, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was always slow, finally flew over from the air with the injured Ye Cang.

At the same time, Jiraiya was a little slower and fell behind Rasa and rushed to his good friend Orochimaru and his disciple Minato Namikaze.

This means that this war can no longer continue!

At this time, of the three Kage-level fighters in the Sand Village, one was seriously injured, and one had his combat power reduced. Only the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was still maintaining his condition.

On the other hand, on the Konoha side, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, except for the consumption of a lot of chakra, nothing happened to them. Even Orochimaru, who was in the best condition, didn't even have any damage to his clothes. The only damage was the dust from the battle...!

Therefore, it can be said that this battle, which was a decisive battle, finally ended with the victory of Konoha Village...!

Of course, this does not mean that the war between the two villages has ended. After this war, the Sand Village still has enough strength and foundation to continue fighting with Konoha!

However, the situation of the war was reversed from this moment on. The Sand Village, which was unstoppable at the beginning of the war, gradually began to retreat and defend, while Konoha Village launched a full-scale counterattack. The battlefield was slowly pushed back by Konoha from Mount Kikyo towards the Wind Kingdom!

Although all the Sand Village ninjas fought bravely in the war, the lack of high-end combat power meant that the defense line of Sand Village was constantly penetrated by Konoha. The Fourth Kazekage Rasa became a firefighter on the battlefield. It was because he had the ability to fly that he could provide rapid mobile support. Otherwise, he would have been dragged to death on the battlefield sooner or later!

.........

.........

In just one week, Konoha drove the Sand Village back to the Land of Wind. At this time, Ebizo, who had negotiated terms with the Iwagakure Village, finally arrived, and the situation in the Sand Village finally improved.

The seriously injured Yekura had been sent back to the Sand Village for recuperation. The Sand Village only had two Kage-level powerhouses on the front line, Chiyo, whose combat power had declined, and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. Therefore, after Ebizo arrived, the two sides finally reached a balance in high-end combat power again.

However, Ebizo had to pay a considerable price to be able to come to this battlefield without any scruples.

In order to be able to provide timely support, Ebizo gave up a lot of interests in the negotiations with the Iwagakure Village. After repeated verbal battles between him and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, he finally reached a secret agreement on an offensive and defensive alliance on behalf of the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village.

Moreover, in order to completely eliminate the threat posed by the Iwagakure Village to the border of the Land of Wind, the Sand Village will do its best to hold back the Konoha Village during the war and create favorable conditions for the Iwagakure Village to invade the Land of Fire. In addition, in the distribution of Konoha's interests after the war, it will cede 30% of them to the Iwagakure Village...!

Of course, this actually just suited Ohnoki's wishes. After all, the land of the Kingdom of Wind was all desert, which was tasteless like chicken ribs to the Kingdom of Earth. He had never thought of invading the Kingdom of Wind!

And Ohnoki’s real target must be the Land of Fire and Konoha Village!

After all, wouldn’t it be great to raid the Fire Nation and seize its abundant resources?

You know, Konoha's weakness has been fully demonstrated in the previous Joint Chunin Exam. In addition, Konoha White Fang's "suicide" caused Konoha to lose a large number of top combat forces. This is the first time that Ohnoki has really seen the hope of defeating Konoha Village!

And this is because Ohnoki was still unaware of the information that the Hokage's assistant Danzo Shimura was "missing"!

If he knew that Konoha didn't even have the "An Shinobi" anymore, he would have definitely joined the battle long ago!!!

Therefore, at the same time when Ebizo rushed to the front-line battlefield and formed a standoff with Konoha, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki brought thousands of elite soldiers from the Iwagakure Village and once again "borrowed the passage" from the Land of Grass and directly raided Konoha's border garrison troops stationed at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass, declaring war on Konoha Village without warning!

At this point, with the entry of the Iwagakure Village into the war, the Third Ninja World War broke out in full swing!

And when this news was passed back to the Hidden Mist Village by White Zetsu, Qingsi knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

It’s time for the Hidden Mist Village to join the war and make their voice heard in the ninja world!!!
