In the camp...
Orochimaru stood at the door, with a hint of worry on his face as he stared at the frontline of the Sand ninja in the distance.
They had been on the battlefield for three days.
In these three days, although there had been no large - scale battles, they had basically probed out the strength deployment of both sides.
The number of ninja sent by Sunagakure was much larger than theirs.
After all, Konoha was facing both Sunagakure and Iwagakure at the same time.
While Sunagakure only needed to go all out to attack Konoha.
As for the defense Mondai of Sunagakure...
Due to the special sandy and windy environment of the Land of Wind, the strength of ninja from other ninja village would be weakened, making it easy to defend and hard to attack.
Coupled with its special geographical location, only Iwagakure, which was very close, could reach its hinterland directly.
But obviously, Iwagakure and Sunagakure had reached some kind of agreement.
That's why they attacked Konoha at the same time.
Orochimaru couldn't help but worry.
Tsunade couldn't fight. In terms of hard power, they were still weaker than the Sand ninja troops.
Soon, he seemed to think of something.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a hoarse laugh, "I almost forgot. Before we set off, the old man told me to make good use of Minato Namikaze and Satoru Hyūga. Maybe it'll have miraculous effects."
Although he didn't know how much of an effect this duo could actually have.
But now, he could only pin his hopes on them.
Inside the camp.
Satoru Hyūga saw Minato Namikaze who was also called by Orochimaru, and he had a hunch in his heart.
Could it be that the sneaky player is about to descend into the ninja world?
Orochimaru took a deep breath and said seriously, "Minato, Satoru, I heard from the old man that the special ninjutsu you two have, when combined, will play an important role in this war."
Special ninjutsu?
Minato Namikaze thought for a while. It should refer to his Flying Thunder God.
But what about Satoru Hyūga's?
He looked over curiously.
Satoru Hyūga paused for a moment and then said, "I've developed a special Bow & Arrow ninjutsu. Its range is about three kilometers."
Whoa!
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone present gasped.
A ninjutsu range of three kilometers?
This almost surpasses the limit of conventional ninjutsu.
Even someone as knowledgeable and experienced in forbidden ninjutsu as Orochimaru had never heard of a Bow & Arrow ninjutsu with such a long range.
For a regular Bow & Arrow, being able to shoot a few hundred meters is already pretty good.
Could it be...
He looked at Minato Namikaze and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
As long as the marks were set in advance, the Flying Thunder God could almost move through space infinitely. If paired with this special Bow & Arrow ninjutsu, just the two of them might be able to cause a huge stir in the Sand ninja troops.
Minato Namikaze was also shocked when he heard that Satoru Hyūga had developed a Bow & Arrow ninjutsu with a three - kilometer range.
Apart from the shock, he also couldn't help but worry a little.
He roughly understood what the Hokage was thinking.
However, with such a long attack range, would there be a lack of power?
After all, most ninjutsu were developed in a balanced way.
If you want one aspect to be longer, the other will inevitably be shorter.
Shooting this far? The impact force might not be enough.
However, the maximum range of three kilometers still adds a lot of points. Even if it's a bit closer, he can use the Flying Thunder God to teleport away after finishing.
Satoru Hyūga looked nonchalant.
After reaching Electromagnetic Force Level 4, his magnetic storm sniper rifle could already shoot beyond five kilometers. He only gave a conservative estimate because he didn't want to completely shatter the perceptions of these hicks in the ninja world.
As for the power...
Come on, show me how you blow someone's head off...
Among the Sand ninja troops.
Inside the largest tent.
A heated meeting was starting.
"Currently, it seems that the number of ninjas dispatched by Konoha is less than ours. Once a full - scale war breaks out, we have the upper hand," said Rasa in a low voice. At the same time, he squinted his eyes and quietly observed the changing expressions of the Sand ninjas around him.
Although he had successfully become the Fourth Kazekage, his position was far from secure.
There were still many high - ranking Sand ninjas eyeing his position covetously.
Fortunately, he, as the disciple of the Third Kazekage, had naturally inherited many of the political legacies left by the previous kage.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to take the position of the Fourth Kazekage.
Using the war to purge the opposing forces within Sunagakure and cultivate his own confidants to secure his position as the Fourth Kazekage was a move he had to make.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly.
Who on earth is it?
Who has been stabbing me, Rasa of the Magnet Release, in the back?
I, Rasa of the Magnet Release, have a reputation that spans a lifetime, yet I've tripped up this time.
If I catch that guy, I'll definitely...
(The following is omitted for 10,000 words...)
"Lord Kazekage, how confident are you in this war against Konoha?"
The one speaking was Chiyo, the advisor of Sunagakure. Her voice was low as she stared at Rasa.
To be honest, she didn't have high hopes for this war. Sunagakure was in a weaker position. Even if Konoha had part of its forces tied up by the Iwa ninjas.
It would probably take a heavy toll to defeat Konoha.
But since Rasa had strongly demanded war to avenge the Third Kazekage and had won the support of most of the Sand ninjas, she had no choice but to compromise.
There were still many doubts about the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.
The leader of one of the major ninja villages disappeared on his own turf.
How absurd! It's like Trump taking a pee near the White House with hundreds of bodyguards around him and suddenly getting knocked out. Does that make sense?
The only ones who could have pulled this off were probably Konoha, the top - tier ninja village.
Konoha has a lot of talented ninjas. If they really wanted to target the Third Kazekage, it wasn't impossible.
It was with this kind of persuasive talk that Rasa successfully convinced these two long - time enemy ninja villages to wage war.
"Confidence? I'm not sure," said Rasa as he exchanged a look with Chiyo, then scanned all the Sand ninjas present and spoke in a deep voice.
"But I think if all the people in Sunagakure can unite as one and fear nothing, even if the enemy is Konoha, we will surely be able to defeat them!"
Rasa's speech was very inspiring.
Don't ask me about the chance of winning. Just ask yourself if you're willing to lay down your life.
If you are, then it's a hundred percent!
Sure enough, many Sand ninjas were infected and became excited.
"Lord Kazekage is absolutely right. As long as we in Sunagakure are united, what's Konoha?"
"Yeah! It's time for Sunagakure to rise. We will surely win this war!"
"Sure to win!"
A faint smile appeared on Rasa's lips.
A bunch of easy prey (like leeks being harvested).
Meanwhile, about 3 kilometers away from the Sand ninja camp.
"Satoru, really here?"
"Huh? If not here, then where?"
"Should we get a little closer?"
"I think it's close enough. Any closer and we'll be right in the camp."
"Got it."
Minato Namikaze helplessly scratched his yellow hair.
Really, is Satoru really that confident in his self - developed Bow & Arrow ninjutsu?
With a maximum range of three kilometers, he's really going to shoot from exactly three kilometers away?
What if he misses or the shot lacks power at such a long distance?
Anyway, he has the Flying Thunder God. He can change positions and shoot again after the shot.
It would be the same!
Alas!
Why is Satoru so persistent?
I can't figure it out!
