This is a mission that only the Jonin from each village—no, the elite Jonin—can undertake!
"Don't think that it was just a coincidence, because in his resume, there was more than one S-class mission."
"Moreover, some secret missions will not be known to outsiders like us."
For example, the recent incident of Iwakuku hiding!
"If you don't say something shocking, you'll never stop," Maki, the team leader, added, though he kept the last sentence to himself and didn't say it aloud.
They used the power of their entire clan to confront the five great ninja villages that stood at the pinnacle of strength, and even won!
How terrifying is this?!
It's important to understand that even with a war machine like Gaara, the Kazekage still didn't dare to directly start a war. Instead, he needed to seize the opportunity presented by the Chunin Exams and utilize the power of Orochimaru, a Konoha S-rank rogue ninja.
The difference between the two is immediately apparent.
The reason he didn't say anything was that he was worried that such information would crush the pride and confidence of the seeded team in front of him.
They were the most outstanding ninjas among the younger generation of Sunagakure.
Gaara was the first to recover from the shock.
Or perhaps "shock" isn't the right word to describe it, because that cruel, sinister smile still lingered on his lips.
"Things are finally starting to get interesting."
He suddenly spoke.
This was also the first time he had spoken on this trip. His voice was unusually deep, unlike that of a recent graduate, but rather that of an adult who had experienced countless events.
"Gaara, don't treat Uchiha Ara as a hypothetical enemy!"
"Lord Kazekage has made it clear that the Uchiha clan is the force we most need to win over on this trip!"
"This concerns the future of the entire village!!"
Maki saw right through Gaara's little scheme.
A sense of foreboding immediately arose in his heart. He had originally intended to dispel the three siblings' aversion to the Uchiha clan and Uchiha Ara.
This has ironically fueled the competitive spirit of the most troublesome one among them!
Gaara merely gave him a cold glance and then walked past the ninja in front of him, completely disregarding his warning and his status as captain.
Because now, apart from his prey named Uchiha Ara, nothing can attract him anymore.
This attitude also caused Maki to show a helpless expression on his face.
However, he also knew that this was indeed because he had overlooked Gaara's feelings.
After all, although it has only performed tasks in B-level mode on the surface.
But over the years, Gaara has been assassinated by the Sunagakure ANBU several times. Doesn't such an incident deserve to be classified as A-rank or even S-rank?
This little guy has long since transcended the realm of normal people!
These are just things that can't be discussed openly.
"Temari, Kankuro."
"As Gaara's older sister and brother, you should know what to do."
Seeing that it was hopeless to command Gaara, Maki had no choice but to transfer the task to the two of them.
The bond between blood relatives is always deeper than that between a stranger like him.
Especially Temari.
At this moment, she is the only one who can somewhat restrain that guy.
"Yes."
This time, the two responded in unison.
A genius who can successfully carry out an S-rank mission at the age of nine is absolutely worthy of the attention of any ninja village.
If Gaara really had some kind of conflict with that person, then it would indeed be difficult for them, as allies, to explain themselves.
"Yes, this matter is of great importance. You must keep Gaara in check and make sure to make as much contact as possible with the Uchiha clan during the assessment and establish a good relationship with them."
Machi reiterated his instructions once again.
Because recently, the Dark Division sent back some major news.
Without any prior communication, the Land of Hot Water also began to deploy its troops in the eastern part of the Land of Fire.
Although the daimyo of that country claimed that they were forced to make this choice because of the recent unfriendly behavior of the Land of Fire.
However, a rumor has recently been circulating in the ninja world that the power behind this rising new force is the Uchiha clan.
Although such news seems somewhat absurd.
That clan had already shown signs of decline five years ago.
But what if?
Otherwise, how can we explain how this small country, where even the ninja villages are practically defunct, could withstand the invasions from the Land of Iron and the Land of Clouds?
It should be noted that both countries suffered significant setbacks in their operations against the Land of Hot Springs.
The former even issued a public apology!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend; this is an age-old truth.
With the east and west working in tandem, coupled with the internal strife stirred up by the Chunin Exams, even Konoha, the leading of the Five Great Ninja Villages, would inevitably be unable to withstand it.
Of course, it's not time to bring these secrets to the forefront yet.
Of the entire group heading to the Land of Fire, only he knew about it.
"By the way, if you encounter a member of that clan named Uchiha Sasuke, just ignore him."
As if remembering something, Maki added another sentence.
After receiving a knowing response from his two juniors, he led them to chase after Gaara, who was still ahead.
Chapter 465 Luo Sha's methods stemmed from pressure from all sides.
"Lord Ara, the entire Land of Fields is now completely under our control."
"Those aristocratic families who were unwilling to join have all been expelled."
"Of course, everything is done in the name of the Sound Village."
The Wind Demon Dragonfly respectfully reported on the current situation of the entire Country of Fields.
The reason why such a rapid cleaning could be achieved in such a short time is mainly due to the addition of Honglian.
Having been directly under Orochimaru's command, she knew too many secrets about him, including other strongholds hidden within the Land of Rice Fields.
Those were some hidden places that even Granny Cat's cat spies couldn't find immediately.
Unfortunately, there was no second prison like the No. 4 stronghold, and even the remaining ninjas of the Sound Village were few in number; many strongholds were just empty shells.
There are two possible reasons to explain this situation:
Either the remaining Sound Village ninjas had already received Orochimaru's message in advance and made a withdrawal move at the beginning of the cleanup mission by Dragonfly and his group, and there was a time difference between the cleanup and the cleanup;
Or perhaps Orochimaru had already begun preparing for the upcoming Chunin Exams before Ara arrived, ordering his subordinates to break into smaller groups and infiltrate the Land of Fire.
After all, for a period of time, Konoha had concentrated its main defensive forces on the eastern front at the border of the Land of Hot Springs, which directly gave the Sound Village an opportunity to enter the country.
"very good."
Upon hearing this, Ara, who had been gazing towards Konoha, turned around and offered a very brief assessment.
Aside from the devout-looking Fuma Tonbo and Fuma Hanzaki, several powerful individuals stood around them. These were the Ninja Swordsmen who had come to provide support, as well as the Crystal Release ninja Guren whom they had just recruited.
"Dragonfly, you will continue to be in charge of overseeing the daimyo's affairs in the land of fields."
"If those powerful and influential people don't want to listen, you know what to do."
He first gave orders to his subordinates who were reporting to him.
"Yes."
The girl with short, light green hair responded immediately, without the slightest hesitation in her answer.
The traditional concept of protecting one's own daimyo, which was once held by the family, was completely extinguished as the family declined.
Now, the only one their clan would choose to be loyal to is the young man before them.
"Hanzaki, you are responsible for assisting Tonbo in reorganizing the families that are willing to submit. Don't let those guys cause any trouble."
Having received a response, Huang turned his gaze to the burly adult man beside the girl.
They still adhered to their previous ideas, allowing the Fuma clan to contact forces that already existed within the Land of Fields, solely for the purpose of monitoring them during this sensitive period, rather than permanently incorporating them.
After all, he had no intention of vying for supremacy, and the significance of the Land of Fields was fundamentally different from that of the Land of Hot Springs.
It was only when they were hunting down the escaped Shimura Danzo that they saw the possibility of secretly passing through the Land of Rice Fields.
Of course, if afterwards, Tonbo and Hanzaki are able to integrate the remaining declining families within the territory and command a new force, that would be their achievement.
"Yes."
"Please rest assured, Lord Huang, we will definitely keep them under control."
"Moreover, those ninja families that have lost their commissions, whose lives have long been destitute and who have become outlaws, actually want to be integrated into one another."
"However, Orochimaru's methods are too cruel, and no one is willing to be his guinea pig anymore."
"It's only natural that we're now handling the integration."
Fuma Hanzaki responded with his chest puffed out. His robust physique, coupled with the horse-slaying sword slung across his back, truly added to his imposing and majestic presence.
However, when Orochimaru was mentioned, he glanced cautiously at Guren's expression.
Clearly, he had enough fear and awe for his former subordinate general, and was afraid of mentioning any sensitive information.
However, the latter did not seem to care much.
"Ah."
Huang nodded slightly, then his gaze fell directly on the powerful Crystal Release user.
