Pitter patter. It was the sound of rain hitting the window.
Large raindrops were swept by the strong wind in the desert and hit the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the Kazekage's office, splashing into white and yellow raindrops, which were sand carried by the rain.
Even if it rains in the Sand Village, it is different from other places in the Shinobi World. It still has the characteristics of the desert area. It always looks like a storm, and the rain will carry a lot of sand.
Like Kato Mitsukaze, Iron Sand of the Three Generations Of Kazekage also likes rainy days.
Kato Mitsukaze likes rainy days because the rain falling on him makes him feel relaxed and comfortable.
Three Generations Of Kazekage likes rainy days simply because it is rarely seen in the Land of Wind. Rainy days can provide the people of the Land of Wind with the water they lack the most.
Even if rainy days are not suitable for the fighting style of most of the Sand ninjas, Iron Sand still likes it very much.
Water is a necessary condition for the development of the Sand Village. The endless rain in the Land of Rain is the most precious natural resource of the Land of Wind.
Iron Sand listened to the sound of the rain outside the window while listening to the discussion of the elders in the office.
With the rhythm of the raindrops, Sand Iron's fingers on the desk were also tapping the surface of the desk.
Along with the movement of Iron Sand's fingers, the pitch-black iron sand on the desk also jumped rhythmically like a cheerful black elf.
Iron Sand listened to the discussion of the elders and also thought about the current situation of the Sand Village in the Land of Rain.
Thinking of the information he received a few days ago through the secret channel about the secret alliance with the Rock Village, and finally looking at the rain outside the window, Iron Sand made the final decision in his heart.
With a decision in his heart, Iron Sand no longer tapped the desk with his fingers. Instead, he gently clenched his hand, and the black iron sand that was jumping happily also stopped jumping and quietly floated above his palm.
With the movement of Iron Sand's hand, the iron sand condensed into a solid sphere.
More and more black iron sand climbed up from under the desk and gathered into a stream of black iron sand, flowing to the palm of Iron Sand and then injected into the iron sand ball above his palm.
The black iron sand ball became more and more solid, and its size was getting bigger and bigger, and its color was getting darker and darker.
In the Kazekage's office, Sandaime Kazekage was condensing an Iron Sand Ball in his hand. The elders sitting under him gradually stopped their discussion and focused their attention on their leader, Sandaime Kazekage.
Seeing that the elders in the office stopped discussing, Iron Sand's hand didn't stop moving and he said: "Just now, all the elders have spoken and discussed."
After a short pause, Iron Sand glanced over all the elders in the office with his yellow pupils which were the same color as the desert of the Country of Wind. Finally, he fixed his eyes on an old figure.
"Then, regarding the proposal to increase the intensity of the war, which of the elders present agrees and who opposes?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Sitting in the front row, Chiyo and Hai Laozang were the first to express their support.
"Yes!"
…
Then there was a burst of echoes in the Kazekage's office.
The Elder Advisor was the last representative of the Sand Hidden Village's stubborn opposition. With the approval of the Elders one by one, the eyes of many people in the office converged on the old figure.
The elder of the Sand Hidden Village raised his eyelids and looked at the Kazekage Iron Sand in the center of the office and the iron sand ball in his hand. Then he glanced around at the younger advisors who were different from him.
"Yes."
With an old voice and a slow tone, the last stubborn opposition finally said the answer that the Three Generations Of Kazekage wanted.
With a soft sound, the iron sand ball in Iron Sand's hand couldn't withstand the pressure of the energy being injected into it, and it expanded and broke into a black iron sand.
Hearing the answer that satisfied him, the Three Generations Of Kazekage looked deeply at the last elder who spoke, and then turned his eyes to Chiyo and Ebizo in the front row.
The Chakra in Iron Sand's body was activated, and a magnetic force was released from his fingertips. His palm slid on the desk, and the iron sand that was floating casually before quickly turned into a three-dimensional map of the Ninja World.
A black arrow was inserted from the direction of the Sand to the location of the Rain village, and then another arrow was shot from the north, and then together they shot towards the direction of the Wood Leaf Village.
Iron Sand looked at the map he made with satisfaction and then began to give orders.
"We have secretly reached an agreement with the Rock Village in the north, and the Rock Ninjas in the Rain Village will cooperate with us."
"Chiyo, now I order you to be the frontline leader of the Sand forces, and lead the Sand forces to invade the Rain Village. After discussing the time and date with the representatives of Rock, we will invade the Fire Village from the Rain Village."
"Yes, Sandaime-sama!"
"Ebizo, you will coordinate the intelligence work, and keep in contact with the Rock Village at all times."
"Yes, Sandaime-sama!"
…
With the orders of the Three Generations Of Kazekage, the sleeping Sand Village completely woke up in the storm, and the huge war machine began to work at full speed.
Explosive Tags, Kunai, Shurikens, Poison, Soldier Food Pills, and all kinds of puppets were dragged out of the warehouse and then transported to the front line of the Rain Village.
An old figure walked out of the Kazekage's house. It was the elder who spoke in favor of the Three Generations Of Kazekage.
Ignoring the other elders who were avoiding him like he was a snake in the desert, he dragged his old body and stepped into the storm of the Sand Village.
When his figure was completely engulfed by the rain, the old consultant elder's eyes flashed with a light blue light. He looked back at the Kazekage's house behind him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The last stubborn opposition of the Sand Village was Kato Mitsukaze's Soul Puppet, a nail he planted in the Sand Village's upper echelon.
For more than a year, the Soul Puppet under Kato Mitsukaze's order jumped back and forth between the Sand Village's Stubborn Faction and the Kazekage's faction, and he stirred up internal conflicts among the Sand Village's upper echelon.
It's not that he stirred up discord, he just chose the right side at the right time. The Three Generations Of Kazekage's Iron Sand didn't want to kill him for a day or two, but the Soul Puppet didn't care, he was now ready to send information to his master.
In the storm, a soul message invisible to the naked eye flew out of the Soul Puppet's old body and flew in the direction of the Rain Village's front line.
After the Soul Puppet took the initiative to report to Kato Mitsukaze using a special method, his old body became more bent and decayed, as if he would fall in the rain in the next moment. Then the Soul Puppet staggered and disappeared in the rain.
In a nameless forest in the Rain Village, the Wind Ninja team was sheltering from the rain in a small camp. They planned to spend the night here and continue the team's field search mission tomorrow.
Kato Mitsukaze didn't care about the impact of the rain, but his three apprentices couldn't. After a hard battle, if they were soaked in the cold rain for a night, Shengshu and the others wouldn't be able to stand it.
There were only three people in the camp, Kato Mitsukaze, Shengshu, and Inuzuka. The three of them sat around a campfire, they didn't chat, the two were silently recovering their Chakra.
In the wild camp, the sooner a ninja can recover their Chakra, the safer they will be. This was given to them by Kato Mitsukaze, and it was also one of the reasons why Kato Mitsukaze was angry just now.
In the battle with the Sand Puppet Master, Shengshu and the other two, plus the dog, exhausted their last bit of Chakra, which Kato Mitsukaze was very dissatisfied with.
For example, Chakra is equivalent to the amount of mana a ninja has. The reason why a ninja is powerful is more than 90% based on Chakra.
If a ninja ran out of mana on the battlefield, that ninja's combat strength would basically be crippled, and it would be very easy for them to fall at the hands of enemies weaker than them.
A qualified ninja would never run out of Chakra in their bodies.
During this period of time, Kato Mitsukaze had helped Shengshu and Inuzuka clean up the toxins in their bodies. Although the effects of the toxins were not completely eliminated, it no longer affected Shengshu and Inuzuka's mobility.
The treatment facilities in the wild were simple and crude. If they wanted to completely eliminate the toxins in the Sand Puppet Master's body, they would have to at least wait until they returned to the Northwest Stronghold's main camp, where the latest antidote from Wood Leaf Village would be delivered.
Accompanied by the soft sound of footsteps, Aburame, who was carrying a copper can and wearing a raincoat, returned to the small campsite.
Kato Mitsukaze looked up and asked, "Is it done?"
"It's done. These are the things we collected from the corpses."
Aburame adjusted his sunglasses and walked over to the campfire. He handed a small scroll to Kato Mitsukaze.
Perhaps feeling that he had not spoken enough, Aburame added, "I've taken care of the corpses of the three Sand Ninjas and the traps around the campsite."
Aburame had received Kato Mitsukaze's orders to deal with the corpses of the Sand Ninjas and the traps around the campsite.
After Aburame answered, he sat down and began to restore his Chakra. The small campsite returned to its original quiet atmosphere.
After spending more than a year with his three disciples, Kato Mitsukaze found Shengshu the most troublesome, Aburame the most satisfying, and Inuzuka the most favorite.
Well, Kato Mitsukaze values girls over boys. Inuzuka's personality is the most similar to Tsunade's personality. It's almost the same as Tsunade's personality when she was a child. Kato Mitsukaze liked Inuzuka even if he didn't want to.
Looking at his three listless disciples, Kato Mitsukaze felt a little funny. He knew that he had criticized the three of them too much.
Previously, when Shengshu and the other two fought in the forest, Kato Mitsukaze criticized them from all aspects.
After waiting for a while, when Shengshu and the other two recovered their Chakra, Kato Mitsukaze spoke.
"The battle between the three of you and the Sand Puppet Masters just now wasn't completely useless …"
In the quiet small campsite, Kato Mitsukaze's calm voice could be heard other than the pitter-patter of the rain outside.
Kato Mitsukaze first praised his three disciples to attract their attention. Then he began to analyze the battle for them one by one.
…
"… With the combined strength of the three of you Genin, killing a Sand Ninja Puppet Master in a head-on battle is still something to be commended. Compared to my Genin career back then, the three of you are already very outstanding!
"I will record an additional B-rank mission record for the three of you as an additional commendation for your heroic battle."
After Kato Mitsukaze praised them, Shengshu and the other two revealed happy smiles. Even Aburame Shiwei, who had been wearing sunglasses and pretending to be a cool guy, also showed a happy expression.
In fact, Shengshu and the other two's performance in killing the Sand Ninjas was not even worth a B-rank mission record. But who asked Kato Mitsukaze to be the deputy chief of the Northwest Stronghold's main camp?
Kato Mitsukaze was in charge of all Wood Leaf's missions in the Northwest.
Within the rules of Wood Leaf's missions, he had to take care of his disciples a little so that they could accumulate more merits and experience. No one could say anything about that.
Just like how Yuanfei RIzhan and Shimura Danzo took care of Kato Mitsukaze within the rules, Kato Mitsukaze was now taking care of his disciples within the rules. Wasn't this how the Will of Fire of Wood Leaf Village was ignited?
While Kato Mitsukaze's salted fish clone was happily looking at his three disciples, a soul message that was invisible to the naked eye flashed with a light green light and quickly flew over from the west.
When it passed by the camp of the Wind Rider Squad, it paused for a moment before falling down along with the pitter-patter of the rain. The raindrops were blocked by the dense leaves and branches, making the pitter-patter sound of the rain.
And this special soul message passed through the layers of obstacles and landed directly on top of the salted fish clone's head without any obstruction. It then suddenly disappeared.
After being stunned for a moment, Kato Mitsukaze's salted fish clone and his main body in the Northwest Stronghold's main camp of Wood Leaf Village both received the information sent by the Soul Puppet of the Sand Village.
While the salted fish clone was in a daze, Inuzuka Claw, who had regained his usual optimism, asked him, "Master, when will the war end? I'm a little homesick. "
"Is the war over? Master doesn't know either. "
He stretched out his big hand and rubbed the little loli's wet hair. Then, he rubbed the ninja dog in her arms as Kato Yukaze replied.
After that, Kato Mitsukaze did not care about Inuzuka Claw's puzzled expression. He stood up straight by the campfire and began to issue orders.
"We've rested enough. Pack up your luggage and get ready to set off.
"There's a change of plans. The Wind Rider Squad's field training mission is over. We need to rush back to the Northwest Stronghold's main camp overnight.
"You can't easily participate in the upcoming war. The real war has begun!"
