The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

Two thirty in the afternoon on January 45, 1th year of Kirigakure.

Angkor Fortress has already entered the territory of the Land of Wind and is getting closer and closer to the Sand Village.

On the platform, or deck of the fortress, all the jonin and special jonin from the Hidden Mist Village are now ready to go, their eyes filled with desire for battle...!

And at the very front, the commander of this raid on the Sand Village, the Mizukage's assistant, Karatachi Yagura, was standing solemnly!

Although he is not tall and has a baby face that can easily deceive others, the aura he exudes is as majestic as a towering mountain!

“Gulp…!”

“Gulp…!”

“Gulp…!”

The afternoon sun shines on Yagura's body, and combined with the dark red chakra bubbles that unconsciously appear on his body due to his excited mood, it forms a gorgeous bright red picture!

A cold light flashed from his eyes, like lightning, looking straight towards the direction of the Sand Village in the distance, as if he could see the whole picture of the Sand Village through the vast clouds, and had the entire Sand Village under his control...!

.........

.........

.........

"Lord Yagura! Angkor Fortress is expected to arrive above the Sand Village in fifteen minutes!" The voice of Qingsi's "tool man", Shennong, came clearly from the ear-hanging chakra phone worn by Yagura.

"Got it!" Yagura responded calmly, but his heart was not calm at all at this moment. After all, he was about to lead a team to flatten the Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world!

To achieve great things and leave his name in history, even though he is already an assistant to the Mizukage, he cannot be immune to and resist this fatal temptation!

"Lord Yagura!" Uzumaki Kana suddenly interrupted Yagura who was immersed in his fantasy, "The strength of the Sand Village's defensive barrier has been confirmed! It will require the use of the fortress's chakra cannon or the three-tailed beast ball to break it!"

Yagura shook his head slightly, came back to his senses, thought for a while, and made a decision, "Shennong! Prepare to charge the chakra cannon! I will also take action myself later! Don't leave the Sand Village any time to react!"

After a few seconds of pause, Yagura turned to Uzumaki Shinki who was also in the control room and asked, "Chief Shinki! How is the barrier preparation going?"

"No problem! The barrier that blocks perception has been deployed. Before we launch an attack, the Sand Village will not be able to detect us!" Uzumaki Shinki answered confidently. As the head of the Uzumaki clan who inherited the legacy of the Uzumaki clan, he was confident about this. "In addition, the ninjas of the barrier class and the sealing class are also ready and can set off at any time!"

"Very good!" Yagura nodded with satisfaction, "Then you can set off first! Keep in touch at all times!"

Then, Yagura turned around and said to Otsutsuki Mukai who was standing not far behind him, "Mukai-kun, except for the members of your Otsutsuki clan who stay in the control room to assist Kana in command, the rest of you should follow Chief Shinki and set off together! Remember to use your Byakugan to observe at all times, and if there is any situation, remember to report it in time!"

"Yes!" Otsutsuki Mukai nodded and accepted the task.

After all, he also knew that most of the ninjas in the barrier class and the sealing class had weak combat capabilities. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the barrier, it was very necessary to protect them.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they have no chance to enter the Sand Village to fight.

You know, after the barrier is officially formed, the ninjas from the barrier class and the sealing class can use the barrier to protect themselves, and that's when it's time for them to attack!

-----------------

at the same time.

The western part of the Land of Earth.

A temple located near the cliff of the mountain.

Qingsi's figure, from blurry to solid, slowly appeared at the entrance of the temple.

"It seems that White Zetsu was not wrong!" Through the Rinnegan, Qingsi could clearly see that in the depths of the temple, there was a figure with a huge amount of chakra in his body, which was obviously different from that of ordinary ninjas. Moreover, in his field of vision, that chakra gave a faint feeling of burning.

At the same moment when Qing Si showed up, Lao Zi, who was communicating about "Buddhism" with the abbot deep in the temple, looked up towards the temple entrance as if he had sensed something, and his slightly solemn expression was evident in his words.

Although Lao Zi was not good at perception, Qingsi's powerful chakra aura, which was not concealed at all, would not be unaware of it even if he was slow.

So he immediately stopped communicating with the abbot, and quickly moved towards the gate of the temple while jumping.

You know, although this place is very remote and the Iwagakure Anbu sent by the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki to "protect" him have not yet tracked him here, but this is still within the territory of the Land of Earth, and he is also the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, one of the top fighting forces in the Iwagakure Village!

Even though he has not yet reached a reconciliation with the Four-Tails in his body to the point where he can fully transform into a tailed beast, but based on his own strength and the "borrowed" power of the Four-Tails, he is undoubtedly a Kage-level powerhouse!

Therefore, even if the person coming is a friend rather than an enemy and the chakra aura he exudes is very strong, there is no reason for him to be afraid!

Seeing Lao Zi's actions in the temple, Qing Si gave up the idea of ​​entering the temple to capture him, but stood quietly not far from the temple gate, waiting for Lao Zi to appear.

.........

.........

.........

Soon, a middle-aged man in dark purple clothes appeared at the gate of the temple.

I saw that he had a dark-colored breastplate tightly fitted on his chest, which reflected a cold light. His red hair was tied into a small ponytail, and on his rough and bold face, his thick beard stood up like steel needles.

This is exactly Qingji's target, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Shi of the Iwagakure Village!

"Liaotun Lao Zi?" Qing Si asked calmly. Although he used a question mark, his tone was extremely affirmative.
