Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 245 Quickly invite Granny Chiyo

this day.

Before dusk.

Fine yellow sand was blown up by the wind from time to time, like drifting catkins filling the air.

Outside Sunagakure Village, towering stone walls, hundreds of meters high, blocked much of the yellow sand blown by the wind, providing a peaceful place for the villagers to live and work.

The only safe passage in and out of the entire Sunagakure village is a narrow pass called the First Line of Sky.

It gets its name from the fact that when you walk inside and look up, you can only see a single line of "sky".

The Sand Village ninjas guarded each level of the high stone wall, holding binoculars to observe the outside world.

In this vast desert region, with little cover, it would be difficult for a large-scale enemy to conceal their tracks and invade the area in front of Sunagakure.

"Huh...that's...Lord Fengxing!"

"He... quick, prepare to support Lord Windwalker, enemies are chasing him!"

On the four-story stone wall, a Sand Village ninja holding a telescope suddenly spoke, making the guarding ninjas, who had been quiet for a long time, tense up.

Everyone held kunai and explosive tags, some preparing, while their companions on the upper stone wall used binoculars to look in the direction the wind was blowing, searching for the enemy.

In the distance, amidst the swirling yellow sand, their Sand Village's genius ninja, Lord Kazekage, stood with his arms outstretched behind him, running forward while frequently turning his head to look back, as if someone was chasing him.

However, no one saw who was behind Feng Xing.

However, no one let their guard down; instead, they searched even more carefully for traces of the enemy.

"Galo, Ye Yi, you two come with me to support Lord Fengxing."

"Yes, Captain Teach."

"We're going too, Captain Teach."

The moment he realized that Li Yao's Wind Release clone might be being chased, the Sand Village male ninja named Teach's expression changed, and he immediately called for help. Instantly, countless Sand Village ninjas who were guarding him responded.

"We'll go, you guys watch out for enemy attacks."

After saying this, Teach and the man and woman he had called over quickly ran towards Li Yaofeng's clone.

These three were all fervent followers of Li Yao's Wind Release clones, and the others who wanted to go and provide support also regarded Li Yao's Wind Release clones as the future Fourth Kazekage.

This demonstrates the influence of Li Yao's Wind Release clones within Sunagakure.

It's no wonder that the Sunagakure leadership shamelessly sent people to assassinate him.

Because his influence truly threatened the absolute control of the traditional ten major families over the village.

Even in Sunagakure's strongest puppeteer unit, there were many civilian ninjas who supported Lee Yoh's Wind Release clones in becoming the Fourth Kazekage.

Ultimately, there are still more ordinary ninjas in this world.

That's why Li Yao's Wind Release clones, despite his humble origins, wielded such immense influence among ordinary ninjas.

Everyone longs for him to become the fourth Kazekage.

Because Li Yao successfully created a Wind Release clone, it means that ordinary people like them also have the opportunity to become the Kazekage and the nominal number one person in power in Sunagakure, as long as they work hard to become stronger.

There is no support without a reason; everything is for fame and fortune.

Unfortunately, they were still naive.

If Feng Xing hadn't become Li Yao's Wind Release clone, he wouldn't have been the fourth Kazekage in the original story, and hardly anyone mentioned him afterward.

Clearly, they couldn't withstand the assassination attempt by the high-ranking families of Sunagakure and were killed.

"not good!"

While Teach and the other Sand Village members went to support Li Yao's Wind Release clone, several Sand Village high-ranking clan members who had recently been assigned to guard the area saw the appearance of Li Yao's Wind Release clone, especially the scene of him returning alone. Their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly left to report to the advisor elder.

"Lord Windwalker, we've come to your aid."

From a distance of 100 meters, Teach and his two companions shouted loudly, intending to intimidate any enemies that might appear behind Li Yaofeng's clone, while also secretly reminding Li Yaofeng's clone to show his identity information.

Li Yaofeng quickly formed a special hand seal with his clone.

This is a special hand seal used for entering and leaving the village today; it's similar to a code.

Unlike Konoha and Kirigakure, Sunagakure does not possess a sensory barrier.

Therefore, every month, special hand seals for entering and leaving the village are set in advance. Like a password, they follow a certain pattern. The ninjas guarding the first line of heaven and those on missions will remember them and use them to identify themselves when entering and leaving the village.

This would minimize the possibility of enemies disguising themselves as allies to infiltrate Sunagakure.

"It is Lord Fengxing."

Upon seeing the hand seals formed by Li Yaofeng's clone, the three instantly realized that the person in front of them was indeed Li Yaofeng's clone, and they all felt relieved.

"Lord Fengxing!"

The female ninja named Ye Yi has a pure and innocent appearance, but she wears a backless ninja outfit, making her hot and sexy.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Li Yaofeng's clone was filled with undisguised admiration and love.

As soon as she approached Li Yaofeng's clone, she couldn't help but blush slightly and repeat that they had come to help, afraid that Li Yaofeng's clone wouldn't remember her.

"Let's go, the enemy might be high in the air."

Li Yaofeng used his clone to quickly scan the three people, but he didn't stop running. He just nodded slightly, gave a reminder, and continued to run quickly towards the First Line of Sky Pass.

"Yes."

Teach and his two companions reacted quickly, immediately turning around to protect Li Yaofeng's clones on either side, running back while looking up at the sky.

However, I didn't see anything; the fine sand drifting in the air affected my vision.

The four of them quickly arrived at the entrance to the narrow passage.

"Watch the sky. I'll go report to Lord Kazekage first."

Li Yaofeng's clone didn't stop moving. After giving a reminder, it quickly passed through the narrow passage, leaped between the rooftops of the village, and headed towards the Wind Shadow Building.

At this moment, at the Fengying Building.

The ninjas from the ten great clans who had returned with the news had already arrived at the advisor's office.

Like Konoha, Sunagakure's leadership is also comprised of the Kazekage and two advisor elders.

Major decisions are made by the Wind Shadow, while daily administration is handled by the two advisory elders.

"Advisor Watanabe, Fengxing is back."

"I'm back!"

The newly appointed advisor elder is a middle-aged man of about forty-five years old from one of the three major families, who is at the peak of his ninja career.

Upon hearing from his subordinates that Li Yaofeng had returned using a clone, the newly appointed advisor elder, Watanabe, was startled and stood up hurriedly, asking, "Did he return alone?"

"I only saw him."

"He's alone...that's impossible!"

Watanabe frowned and sat down again.

Since Feng Xing returned alone, it means their assassination mission failed.

Watanabe believed that Kazekage must have guessed who was trying to assassinate him.

Then Fengxing only has one choice: become a rogue ninja, otherwise he will only face death if he returns.

Given Feng Xing's intelligence, he shouldn't be coming back.

But now Fengxing is back.

"Quickly go and invite Elders Chiyo and Ebizo over. Kazekage may have become a rogue ninja."

Watanabe quickly gave the order.

Killing Windranger was their first priority.

The second option is that if the assassination fails, the assassinated ninja will leave traces on their bodies that will make Fengxing realize that they were the ones who did it, thus forcing Fengxing to leave.

After all, now that he knows the Kazekage and the ten great clans have sent people to assassinate him, any normal person would choose to betray Sunagakure.

The third option is for Fengxing to pretend to be stupid and come back.

Even so, if Fengxing returns, they can use the pretext of suspecting him of killing two companions who went on the mission with him to detain him and search his memories.

At that point, they can say and do whatever they want.

If Feng Xing were smart, he shouldn't have come back.

Li Yaofeng's sudden return as a clone caught Watanabe off guard.

Li Yao's Wind Release clones' strength has been witnessed by the entire Sunagakure leadership over the past year.

The unparalleled speed and extremely sharp wind-style slashes gave them the illusion of facing the White Fang of Konoha, who had driven their Sunagakure mad during World War II.

In any case, Watanabe believed that he was no match for Li Yaofeng's clone.

Now that Li Yaofeng has returned in his clone form, whether it's for revenge or some other purpose, Watanabe doesn't know.

All he knew was that once Li Yaofeng's clone went berserk and sought revenge...

Only Chiyo and Ebizo, the two former advisor elders, were able to stop and subdue Li Yaofeng's clone.
