Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki.

He's a sensory ninja, Timon is a glutton, and Shisui is a child.

Captain Qinglan...

After three days of contemplation in the mountains, several words flashed through my mind, but in the end, I felt that none of them were quite right, so I had to put all these thoughts aside.

In short, they don't look like a team that's seriously here to negotiate peace.

Why would they send laymen like them to negotiate?

"Three days? Could it be..."

On the other side, Akimichi Choman also clearly sensed something.

He still had half a piece of dried food dangling from his mouth, and he looked vaguely at the three heavens in the mountains, then turned to look at Hinata Seiran, who was fiddling with scrolls in the room.

After three days in the mountains, he took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

“That’s right, Timon.”

He drew the curtains shut, turned to his companion, and said in a low voice, "It's exactly what you think!"

Although he didn't know exactly how far Ding Man had gone.

But it's okay.

At times like these, you must project a strong presence.

As for specific actions...

We'll just wait for Captain Qinglan's instructions.

"..."

Uchiha Shisui stood to the side, clearly still somewhat bewildered.

He was still young, and although he had experienced the battlefield and possessed a calmness and talent far beyond his peers, the current situation was changing too fast.

Just a moment ago they were peace envoys sent by Konoha.

The next moment, violent turmoil broke out within Sunagakure.

Captain Qinglan seemed to have been prepared all along.

Shisui subconsciously tensed up, his hand quietly approaching the ninja tool pouch, his eyes becoming wary.

Just then, a cold female voice suddenly came from downstairs in the hotel. The voice pierced through the night wind and reached upstairs.

"The Kazekage has ordered that the Konoha envoy be apprehended for now, and that we await further instructions."

"Yes!"

A neat and rapid response came from downstairs, followed by the footsteps of ninjas quickly assembling and rushing forward.

Ye Cang, who had rushed over, stood at the end of the street and looked up at the horizon.

There, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, had already stepped on the gold dust, transforming into a golden streak of light, and was rushing towards the direction where the turmoil had broken out.

Further away, the continuous explosions continued.

Ye Cang looked solemn, his brows furrowed slightly.

Although all arrangements had been made, and although they had anticipated the possible unusual movements of the Konoha envoy group and had taken precautions to monitor and blockade them.

But for some reason, she had a persistent sense of foreboding.

It's as if something has completely deviated from the expected trajectory.

This feeling made her extremely uneasy.

really...

Not long after, a Sand Village ninja rushed over in a panic.

"Something terrible has happened, Lady Yekura! The Konoha delegation has disappeared!"

"what?"

Ye Cang's eyes suddenly darkened.

The ninja swallowed hard and forced himself to continue, "Their room is empty, and the ninja on guard was knocked unconscious..."

"Only...only one letter was left behind!"

"The letter said...that Sunagakure is untrustworthy, they...they left first!"

Meanwhile, the Kikyo Mountains.

The mountain range was originally a desolate place with nothing but yellow earth, gravel and weeds.

At this moment, however, it has been occupied by the vast army of Konoha ninja.

The night wind rustled, blowing across the mountain ridge and brushing against the leaves that covered the headscarves.

The densely packed figures lined up along the mountainside, and although they didn't make much noise, a sense of solemnity permeated the air.

Many ninjas still had doubts about this sudden order to assemble.

I don't understand why the defensive tasks that had already been arranged were canceled at the last minute.

They didn't understand why so many Konoha ninjas were being mobilized to the Kikyo Mountains in the dead of night.

However, many of the ninjas who had retreated from the battlefield of Iwagakure had already sensed something unusual.

Lord Orochimaru would never make such an arrangement without a reason.

At the very top of the ridge, Orochimaru stood alone, letting the night wind brush against his face, yet he remained motionless.

Orochimaru!

Just then, a voice filled with anger and confusion came from behind.

Mitokado Homura, who was originally preparing to set off for Sunagakure to participate in the peace talks, rushed over with barely concealed confusion on his face.

What are you trying to do?

"Isn't this supposed to be peace talks?"

He quickly came up behind Orochimaru and pressed, "You know the situation in the village right now, how can you still act recklessly at this critical juncture?"

After speaking, he first looked at Orochimaru, then turned to look at Nara Shikaku, who had remained silent to the side, and his brows furrowed even more.

"And you, Shikaku."

"Orochimaru's nonsense is one thing, but why did you join in his nonsense?"

"If even you become like this, how can the village entrust you with important matters in the future?"

"..."

Nara Shikaku remained silent for a moment, without answering immediately.

He simply stepped forward and briefly explained the information he had gathered to Mitokado Homura.

"..."

"What did you say?"

Mitokado Homura stared at Orochimaru with his mouth agape in disbelief.

The One-Tailed Jinchuriki is in imminent danger.

Sunagakure is covering up the truth.

Orochimaru had already sent people to release the tailed beasts in advance, preparing for an attack from within and without.

And all of this happened at almost the same time.

This wasn't the first time Orochimaru had done something like releasing tailed beasts.

Years ago, he had been ordered by the village to carry out similar missions.

If it weren't for the Third Raikage personally overseeing the situation and suppressing it with absolute force, the situation would have been much worse.

The Hidden Cloud Village probably won't have enough time to stabilize the internal collapse.

Now, if the One-Tailed Beast were to really run rampant within Sunagakure, it would almost certainly replicate the tragic state of Kumogakure back then.

It could even be more serious.

The difference is that this time, Sunagakure doesn't have a strong savior like the Third Raikage.

The Third Kazekage, known as the "Strongest Kazekage," has long since disappeared.

The current Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, is just a young man who has only recently taken office.

Despite possessing magnetic sand gold, its strength is considerable.

However, in terms of prestige and suppressive power, he is far from comparable to the Third Raikage.

If we can really take this opportunity to gain something from Sunagakure...

A complex look flashed across Mitomon's eyes.

As the Hokage's advisor, he naturally hoped that Konoha would benefit.

If this battle can severely damage Sunagakure, forcing them to pay a greater price at the peace talks.

Then Konoha will have a huge advantage in the upcoming situation.
