Chapter 253: Lies Don't Hurt, the Truth is the Swift Blade.
Sand Ninja Camp!
Several dozen kilometers away from Jigeng Fortress.
A long distance for ordinary people, but for the ninja army, it was a mere breath away.
Along the way.
Even with Naruto Uzumaki, the Ninja World's fastest godspeed, clearing out informants, the Sand Ninjas still sensed something amiss.
"Enemy attack!"
The sentry on the watchtower shouted a warning, ringing the bell simultaneously.
Upon hearing the bell, all Sand Ninjas immediately rushed out of their tents, ready for battle.
A large-scale ambush was out of the question.
But what Konoha wanted was not an 'ambush' but a 'surprise attack'.
"Damn Konoha, do they think they can win against us like this?"
Rasa was the first to stand at the front of the camp, muttering to himself.
Sand, sand!
Countless golden sand began to gather.
Whoosh! A kunai flew diagonally from the sky, which Rasa easily dodged.
However, as he dodged, he noticed the words 'Love Sword' on the kunai handle.
He immediately defended with his golden sand.
Swish! Naruto Uzumaki's figure appeared at the edge of the kunai, and with a backhand, he stabbed Rasa with another kunai, hitting the golden sand.
If Rasa had reacted a fraction of a second slower, he would have been defeated.
This was the Flying Thunder God!
An unbeatable divine technique.
Not only was it a fifty-fifty chance against anyone, but it was also incredibly dangerous, with the possibility of a comeback at any moment.
It was this technique that allowed Naruto Uzumaki to calmly face a siege.
"Naruto Uzumaki, do you really think that after leaving Jigeng Fortress, Konoha will be a match for us Sand Ninjas?"
Rasa's tone was filled with disdain and mockery.
Of course, there was also a probing intention behind his words.
He genuinely didn't know where their courage came from, daring to launch a counterattack.
"Who knows!"
Naruto Uzumaki's expression was natural, not revealing a shred of information.
It must be said that all ninjas are master actors.
The stronger they are, the better they can act; obtaining information from them is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Naruto Uzumaki intended to entangle this opponent skilled in large-scale ninjutsu, and Rasa also wanted to hold Naruto Uzumaki back, so they fought intensely.
They were truly fighting to the death! Various ninjutsu and taijutsu intertwined, a rhythm of betting their lives.
Countless golden sands seemed to have a life of their own, ravaging the earth relentlessly, even forcing the surrounding Sand Ninjas to retreat.
In this battle, Rasa had no energy to spare for identifying friend from foe.
Being mistakenly injured was quite normal.
On the other side!
Chiyo and Elder Crab had just joined forces with Leaf Warehouse, who had hastily prepared for battle.
"After we defeat those Konoha ninjas, we'll take the opportunity to break through Ginseng Mountain!"
As soon as they met, Chiyo had already made a decision.
Counterattack!
Konoha's surprise attack was not necessarily a bad thing for them.
If the enemy remained holed up in the fortress, they wouldn't have a chance to capture it. Now that they were taking the initiative to attack, the fortress would be breached today.
"No, sister, Kiba Nara won't give us this opportunity so easily. There might be a problem!"
Elder Crab quickly voiced his analysis.
Indeed, if Danzo were leading the other side, he wouldn't have doubted them like this.
The problem was that Naruto Uzumaki was leading the other side, and the 'Leaf Strategist' was also present. How could they be so reckless?
"I know, but isn't this an opportunity?"
A complex expression appeared on Chiyo's aged face, a mix of worry and relief.
Indeed, this was an opportunity.
If they succeeded, they could occupy Jigeng Fortress, and if they lost, they would simply be defeated.
The other major ninja villages had already been defeated, and it wasn't unacceptable for the Sand Ninjas to be beaten as well.
They had already gained enough!
If they continued to lose, the Sand Ninjas didn't have much blood left to shed. It was better to end this war.
"That's true..."
Elder Crab, as the intelligence leader of the Sand Ninjas, naturally understood this logic instantly, so he slowly nodded.
Only Leaf Warehouse was left confused, unclear about what the two elders meant.
However, she knew that the two elders wouldn't harm Sunagakure.
Perhaps it was this familiarity that allowed her to be sent to the Mist Village later without the slightest suspicion.
"Then let me show these Leaf guys a thing or two!"
Yamazaka Koji took the lead and charged forward.
The fireballs she launched indicated that she had activated Blaze Style.
She leaped onto the top of the camp's watchtower and saw that not far away, Sand Lotus was in a tough battle. Instead of going to help, she unleashed her Bloodline Limit at the Leaf ninjas charging towards her.
"Blaze Style: Oversteaming Kill!"
She started with a powerful move.
The massive fireball, formed from the fusion, drew an arc in the air and fell towards the ground.
It was a terrifying attack.
If it hit, it would cause significant damage, but more importantly, it would demoralize the Leaf ninja army.
Just as the fireball was about to land.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Missile!"
A terrifying fire dragon of gold-orange hue rose into the sky, colliding with the falling Blaze Style fireball and sending both into the sky before they exploded.
Boom!
It was like a grand firework, a magnificent and dazzling fire that illuminated the battlefield below, revealing every detail.
The sheer power of the attack left both sides' ninjas secretly fearful.
Because the two ninjutsu were not countering each other, but if they landed among them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Uchiha Dohei!"
Yamazaka Koji immediately called out Dohei's name.
Too familiar!
The color of this Fire Style.
It was imprinted in her soul; how could she not recognize it?
"Long time no see!"
Dohei was covered in a gold-orange Flame Cloak, and with the Leaf ninjas around him voluntarily backing off, he stood not far from Yamazaka Koji on top of the watchtower.
"Why do you always have to pick a fight with us Sand ninjas?"
Yamazaka Koji looked down at the figure below, feeling a bit incredulous.
Why was it that every time the Sand ninjas were about to defeat the Leaf ninjas, there would be someone from the other side blocking their path?
"No, it's not that I'm picking a fight with the Sand ninjas. It's just that you have no chance of winning, and I just happen to be standing in your way!"
Dohei spoke the harsh truth.
Sand ninjas!
Whether in the past or the future, they had never won against the Leaf ninjas.
In terms of resources, population, and strength, the Land of Wind, located in the desert, was far inferior to the prosperous Land of Fire, not to mention the depth of their heritage.
So it was fated that the Sand ninjas would only serve as a foil to the Leaf ninjas.
Perhaps the future Gaara realized this, and after accepting his fate, he contentedly became a subordinate of the Leaf ninjas.
If there was a glimmer of hope for a counterattack, would he be so willing to be a subordinate?
"Today, you have nowhere to run! I will make up for the mistake I made in the past!"
Yamazaka Koji struck out in anger.
As they say, lies don't hurt, but the truth is like a sharp blade.
She herself was well aware of this truth.
"If you can do it, then it's not you who should be angry; it's me who should be!"
Dohei moved to block her attack.
He didn't look down on the Sand ninjas; instead, he cooperated with them.
Currently, the combined number of Wood Oxen from the Fruit Merchant Association exceeded a thousand, and just in this aspect, the Sand ninjas had invested several hundred million ryo. With more cooperation in the future, there would be no bias.
The battle between the two sides was lukewarm.
Dohei had no intention to kill; instead, he led Yamazaka Koji away from the battlefield, letting her off the hook.
Yamazaka Koji could see his intentions but didn't refuse.
After all, Dohei's Sage Mode was too formidable, and it was more than enough for her to hold him off alone.
There wasn't much to say about the battle; it was like a choreographed performance.
The Phoenix Flow Body Technique was often blocked or evaded by the opponent as soon as it was launched, as if they had foreknowledge.
Yamazaka Koji didn't have this ability.
But Dohei had earned the title 'Purifying Flame,' becoming one of the top ninjas in the ninja world.
Therefore, all the major forces were doing their best to gather information about him. It wasn't unusual for information to be known unless it was a killing move or a forbidden technique.
It was like Yamazaka Koji's Blaze Style, Sand Lotus's Magnet Style, and other information that almost every ninja village knew.
After the two of them had a brief respite, the main battlefield finally saw a breakthrough.
