Chapter 300 Intersection

"Sure enough, exactly as I expected, the ultimate goal of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind is to obtain Kazejian Castle."

Luo Sha looked at the map of the Kingdom of Wind unfolded in front of him, looking as expected.

The northwestern region of the Land of Wind is mostly an area with poor resources, and the buildings are also laid in villages and towns. As for large cities, there are relatively few.

Unfortunately, Kazami Castle is the only large city in the northwest region.

Wind Jian City was built in the oasis in the northwest region, with abundant water and soil suitable for crop growth. It has always been an important resource collection area for the Kingdom of Wind.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Wind built a large-scale city on this oasis in the past, and this city is Kazejian City.

The important transfer station connecting the northwest of the Windy Kingdom and the central hinterland is a city that the Windy Kingdom cannot afford to lose.

The Northwest strategy of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Wind, the ultimate goal is also Kazejian Castle, which also proves Luo Sha's conjecture.

Although they don't know what the Kingdom of Ghosts wants to do in the northwest of the Kingdom of Winds, their ambitions are clearly revealed, and they must have major plans in the northwest of the Kingdom of Winds.

Don't let their plan succeed. This was the only thought in Luo Sha's mind.

Implementing this bait strategy is actually taking a certain risk.

For example, before defeating the ghost country, Sand Hidden Village had to bear great pressure from public opinion. Although the matter was mentioned to the daimyo early in the morning, in order to ensure the successful implementation of the strategy, the daimyo also needed to keep it secret.

For another example, the Kingdom of Ghosts ignored their strategy, held back the bait of the land in the northwest of the Kingdom of Wind, and stopped the attack directly.

Then, no matter how well-planned the strategy is, it will not be able to deal an effective blow to the kingdom of ghosts.

Fortunately, the kingdom of ghosts was blinded by its continuous victories, and its offensive posture became more and more fierce every time. Even Kazekage himself was "heavily injured", which aggravated the arrogance of the kingdom of ghosts.

Luo Sha carefully thought about it several times, and there is no flaw in this strategy from the beginning to the end. After all, the situation on Konoha's side is strictly kept secret from the Ghost Kingdom, which is also a major prerequisite for the implementation of this strategy.

In this way, all the conditions for the bait-and-trap strategy have been met.

"In this case, let's act as soon as possible. Is there any problem with your injury?"

Jiraiya who was standing aside asked.

Luo Sha nodded, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my injury was almost healed two days ago. As for it looking so serious, it was actually a skin injury caused by myself, but it only looks serious."

During the enemy's investigation, he, Fengying, had already returned to Shayin Village to recuperate from his wounds. The frontline Sandyin troops were leaderless and their morale was low.

But it was not the case. He did return to Hidden Sand Village, and then secretly returned to the front line by other routes, and mobilized a surprise force of 1,000 elite sand ninjas in Hidden Sand Village. They went around the coastal route of the Kingdom of Wind, flanking the ninja troops of the Nation of Ghosts stranded in the northwest of the Nation of Wind from the rear, completely cutting off their way back to the Nation of Ghosts.

"However, there is one thing to pay attention to, that is the kaleidoscope sharingan ability of Uchiha Ruri that I mentioned before."

Speaking of this, Luo Sha's face was solemn, and he still has lingering fears.

Seeing Jiraiya and others listening carefully, Luo Sha continued: "Let me summarize, Uchiha Ruri's kaleidoscope pupil technique, under my temptation, has two abilities. The first ability is able to cover a special lightning on Susano's blade, endowing Susano's chakra blade with powerful cutting power. This cutting power can bend the space to a certain extent. At that time, she used this move to block my largest and most destructive gold dust. attack."

Zilai also nodded his head.

He remembered that in Konoha's information, his disciple Namikaze Minato had also mentioned before his death that the person behind the scenes manipulating Kyuubi to attack Konoha's envoy could use some kind of space ninjutsu, and was related to Chiba Shiraishi and the others.

From this point of view, the direct controller of Kyuubi was undoubtedly Uchiha Ruri.

It is related to Chiba Shiraishi, and has the pupil art that disrupts time and space, all of which are in line with the guesses made by Minato at the time.

"The second pupil technique ability is also related to that special lightning. It can cover Susano's whole body with special lightning and move at a high speed. This kind of movement speed exceeds the scope of ordinary teleportation. Therefore, the seemingly cumbersome Susano, under the control of Uchiha Ruri, is actually very maneuverable. Be careful."

Susano is originally a symbol of the "God of Destruction", and its offensive and defensive capabilities are so strong that ordinary ninjas feel desperate.

Even for Gokage like Rasa, it is difficult to break through the shell of Susanoo.

But Susanoo also has disadvantages, that is, the moving speed is relatively slow and it looks very cumbersome.

It's just that most of the time, the large-scale destructive ability demonstrated by Susanoo makes up for this shortcoming.

However, when facing real high-mobility ninjas, the shortcoming of bulkiness will be infinitely magnified.

However, Uchiha Ruri was able to use the pupil technique to instantly transfer the huge Susano like a ninja.

It also means that in Liuli's hands, Susanoo's bulky shortcomings have been made up for.

High mobility, large-scale destructive capability, hard shell like iron... Susano has almost no flaws.

If you want to talk about flaws, maybe the only weakness that is not a weakness is the chakra restriction.

"Your Majesty Kazekage, you have obtained so much valuable information in just two battles. In this way, our chances of winning will be even greater."

Zilai also laughed.

"Well, of course, it is not ruled out that Uchiha Ruri has some other means that she did not use. But I estimate that when fighting me, she should have used at least 70% of her strength. All in all, she is not an invincible enemy."

Luo Sha nodded and said, telling his estimate.

Next, Luo Sha did not pause, pointing to the map of the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind, and continued:

"Now I will assign a task. There are 4,000 sand ninjas participating in the assault mission this time, plus 1,000 sand ninjas who are in charge of going around the coast, making a total of 5,000 ninjas. I will divide the 5,000 ninjas into five assault troops, and each thousand ninjas will form an assault regiment. Among them, the assault troop on the coast is the Fifth Assault Corps, which is responsible for going around and cutting off the retreat of the ninja troops in the kingdom of ghosts."

Afterwards, Luo Sha glanced at the several Jnin subordinates in the meeting room:

"And we have four assault regiments here, deployed from one to four. The first and second assault regiments are responsible for frontal assaults. They must cut into the battlefield in an enveloping posture, and do not charge in a single line. Then I, as the captain of the third assault regiment, will cut into the battlefield from the east and provide side support. The fourth assault regiment does not need to participate in the encirclement and suppression battle.

The first, second, and third assault troops are responsible for cutting into the main battlefield, and the fourth assault regiment is responsible for intercepting enemy reinforcements to avoid accidents on the main battlefield.

The Fifth Assault Corps was going around to block all the enemy's retreat routes in the Kingdom of the Wind, but they wanted to prevent any enemy from escaping from the northwestern region of the Kingdom of the Wind.

Cutting into the battlefield, blocking reinforcements, and finally cutting off the enemy's retreat, all aspects are under Luo Sha's consideration.

A total of 5,000 ninja troops were invested. Luo Sha believed that the siege campaign was foolproof, and there were no flaws.

"yes."

Several Shinobi Shinobi, who were each the leader of the commando team, nodded solemnly.

"Finally, everyone in Konoha, please be the forward assault team for this annihilation mission. Once the tactical containment is successful, we will launch a surprise operation according to the signal sent by everyone in Konoha. Trouble."

Luo Sha's eyes fell on Jiraiya.

"Leave it to us."

Ji Lai also nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"So, let's go now."

Luo Sha looked solemn, and took the lead to take the lead, leading everyone to the battlefield.

On the endless desert, just experienced the baptism of sandstorms, there are still a lot of flying sand left on the desert.

In such bad weather, visibility will be very poor.

The sound of wind and sand blowing by is also in my ears.

Ordinary business travellers, at times like this, would hold off in the nearest town and wait for the wind and sand to pass before moving on.

However, the ninjas have long been accustomed to such a harsh environment, as long as they do not encounter a large storm, it is not unbearable for the ninjas.

On the storm-rolled desert, a surprise team consisting of more than a dozen people ran quickly on the sand and headed towards Fengjian City.

The sun in the sky was also covered by the yellow sand all over the sky, and the sky was much gloomy.

Shiraishi looked up, and there was no one on the sand layer in front of him. On the desert, only he, Liuli, and twelve ninjas from the ghost kingdom were on their way.

Among the twelve ninjas from the Oni Nation, there are three Jonin belonging to the Uchiha clan. Each of them has a serious expression, holding their breath and moving forward silently.

At this moment, Baishi gave Liuli a wink, and Liuli nodded silently, understanding the meaning in Baishi's eyes.

Then, the two who were running side by side suddenly moved their bodies sideways and quickly jumped to the sides.

The twelve ninjas following behind the two also dispersed into two waves, jumping away with Shiraishi and Liuli respectively.

Nine people followed Shiraishi, and only three Uchiha ninjas followed Liuli.

The moment they scattered and jumped away, a violent explosion quickly occurred from the bottom of the sand layer, and a frenzied storm blew up, causing Baishi and the others to narrow their eyes briefly due to the storm, to prevent the wind and sand from blowing into their eyes.

Afterwards, figures jumped out of the sand layer. They uniformly wore sand ninja uniforms, and jumped to the four corners around Shiraishi. The moment they landed, they had formed a seal and released ninjutsu.

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

Purple transparent beams of light shot up into the sky immediately, and then connected two by two, condensing into a sealed barrier with no gaps.

After casting the barrier, the four sand ninjas suddenly slammed, thick smoke appeared, and they turned into Konoha ninjas, wearing Konoha Anbe costumes

The rest of the eleven sand ninjas who fell in the barrier also experienced the same change, unlocking the transformation technique on their bodies.

The leaders are Jiraiya, Takashi Sarutobi, and Purinko Sarutobi.

Those who followed them were also well-known ninjlevel masters in Konoha.

Seeing that Anbu's operation was successful, Jiraiya looked at Shiraishi and the others who had been trapped in the barrier, with a smile of victory on his face.

"This way, the capture is complete."

Baishi looked at the purple cube barrier that was unfolding around him, his face was thoughtful, and then he glanced at Jiraiya who was smiling confidently.

"I see. Are you going to use this method? It seems to be a little more troublesome than expected. I want to break this barrier."

After finishing speaking, Shiraishi raised his head and looked at the sky.

A meteor rose into the sky and exploded in the sky. The sound of the explosion could travel far away.

Shiraishi knew that it was the signal flare used by the conveners.

According to this trend, Sha Yin's large army will arrive soon.

"Long time no see, Shiraishi kid, how about this way of greeting? Is there a feeling of surprise?"

Jiraiya spread out his hands at this time, jokingly asked Shiraishi how he felt.

"I'm really flattered to be valued so much by Master Jiraiya. How should I put it, if Master Jiraiya asks me to make an unexpected surprised expression at this time, it's okay."

Baishi had a not-so-salty smile on his face, and made a pertinent comment.

It's as if I already know how the script will go on. Thinking about it, it's not a shocking thing.

"Really? You used to not say such things."

Zilai also remembered something, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Don't say it as if you know me very well, you are an adult. This will only make me think you are very arrogant. Even Teacher Shuo Mao only understands the tip of the iceberg of me."

Shiraishi closed his eyes and sighed softly.

"Why, do you just dislike listening to the elders' teachings? But looking at it now, it seems that you have no way out. Anyway, if you surrender, I am willing to accept it."

Zilai also laughed.

"Unfortunately, Master Jiraiya, I don't have that kind of plan."

Shiraishi opened his eyes again, and said to Jiraiya.

"That's a shame."

"Is it a pity? It is indeed a pity, because I don't like things that go beyond the plan. I just want to ask, is Konoha really planning to intervene in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind?"

Zilai was also slightly silent, apparently acquiescing to this result.

Acquiescing when he saw Jilai, Shiraishi continued:

"It seems that there is no way to negotiate peacefully. Since this is the case, I have to regard you as enemies and eliminate them."

Shiraishi said regretfully.

"You who have assassinated the Fourth Hokage twice, you really dare to speak out here. What is your judgment based on that Konoha will not join this battlefield and choose to let you go? Konoha will not make any compromises on rebellion."

Before Ziraiya could speak, Takashi Sarutobi snorted coldly.

The death of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato in the Nine-Tails Rebellion has always been a hidden pain for Konoha.

Now they are plotting against the real culprit behind the Fourth Hokage, but let Konoha give up at this time, how can it be possible?

Besides, Konoha has the advantage now, so it is even more impossible to let go.

"Really? It seems that it is useless to talk too much, so let's use our respective strengths to prove that our path is correct."

Shiraishi had expected that Konoha would not give up because of his words, but he still had some luck in his heart, hoping that these Konoha ninjas would let go and not participate in this battle.

In any case, the blood was stained with the blood of his past 'colleagues', and he might have a little bit of embarrassment in his heart.

But since he is an enemy, he can only ruthlessly destroy them here.

After Shiraishi finished speaking, Sarutobi Takashi and Sarutobi Purlin stepped forward, and were about to make a move, Jiraiya reached out to stop the two of them from moving, looked at Shiraishi with a serious face, and asked aloud: "Before the battle, I want to ask you a question."

"Problem? Is it a reason for defecting? There should be no need to negotiate with this kind of thing."

"No, the question I want to ask has nothing to do with this. I want to know why you started this war."

"In order to seek justice from the Land of Winds, this is the answer."

Bai Shiyun smiled lightly and said the answer directly.

"No, if it's just to recover the so-called arrears, it can be resolved in a peaceful and diplomatic way. If you don't have to go to war, you must have bigger plans."

"That's just your wishful thinking, Mr. Jiraiya, the country of the wind was the first to attack, and the country of ghosts was forced to fight back. No matter what complicated reasons are behind the matter, this is the truth."

"We are all very clear about the facts, so there is no need to fool laymen here. Dragging a neutral country into the quagmire of war for one's own selfish desires cannot be called a just act."

Jiraiya's tone was full of solemnity.

Because he understands the cruelty of war, he will do everything possible to prevent the continuation of the war.

Baishi's approach will only plunge the ghost country of the neutral country into the quagmire of war, unable to extricate itself, causing countless innocent people's families to be destroyed, and their wives to be separated.

He believes that Shiraishi, as a member of Konoha Ninja, is one of the people who can best understand the pain of war, because Shiraishi must have seen the pain and misfortune of those who lost their homes in the past.

As ninjas, they should avoid such a thing from happening and cut off such a chain of evil, instead of instigating behind the scenes and igniting the flames of war everywhere.

"So what?"

Baishi replied.

"What?"

Zilai looked at Shiraishi in disbelief.

"Drag a neutral country into the quagmire of war, so what? In such an era, a country can only be regarded as a **** in the hand. If there is no one, you can find another one. Anyway, there are as many pawns as you want."

"It's nonsense, how can the country be used as a tool for fame and fortune in the hands of people?"

Jiraiya had an angry look on his face.

Facing Jiraiya who was a little excited, Shiraishi always maintained a calm posture without any change, calmly making Jiraiya feel that what he was facing was an extremely sophisticated machine, not a living human being.

"Why not? I'm just following my own justice."

"There is no such justice in the world."

"Then open up a path of justice like this."

Baishi responded with a smile, his eyes were calm, resolute and somewhat terrifying.

"You really are..."

Jiraiya clenched his fists, and the expression on his face seemed to be struggling.

It hurts my heart to see the student of my former friend go astray like this.

A guy like this can no longer reason.

"Sure enough?"

Shiraishi tilted his head, not quite understanding what Jiraiya said.

Sure enough? What is it?

Takashi Sarutobi said in a low voice at this time: "Brother Jiraiya, give up, you can't understand such a person."

Jilai also sighed, nodded, and there was a firm look in his eyes that made a certain decision.

He said to Shiraishi: "I originally wanted to save your life and take you to Mount Miaomu, where the Great Toad Immortal will guide you on the right path... Now, it seems that this is no longer necessary. If you continue to let you go on like this, sooner or later this ninja world will be brought into the quagmire of war and countless people will be displaced. Therefore, I will kill you here with my own hands!"

There was a murderous look in his eyes.

Bai Shi was not intimidated by such an aura, but said with a doubtful tone:

"Although I don't know what stimulated you, but such a self-righteous guess is also some kind of prophecy made by Miaomushan... Should I find a time to ask that so-called big toad fairy in your mouth?"

Baishi is not joking, he will go to Mount Miaomu sooner or later.

It's fine for a group of nagging toads to avoid the world to entertain themselves, since they are already in the way, they can only be wiped away.

Predict and determine fate, in Shiraishi's view, there is no more arrogant rhetoric than this.

"The realm of immortals is not something that ordinary people can overstep. Next, let me, a passionate hero, teach you how to respect immortals!"

Zilai also laughed out loud, pressed the oil paint on both sides of his face with both hands, and made a brief outline, as if it was deliberately extended for the convenience of performing a certain technique.

Afterwards, Jiraiya closed his hands tightly and quickly jumped backwards.

Shiraishi narrowed his eyes slightly, and clearly felt the natural energy changes in the barrier. He stretched out his palm, and the shadow under his feet suddenly protruded from the plane as if he had a real body, turning into a shadow blade, tearing the air, and flying towards Jiraiya's chest.

"Don't even think about getting it!"

Takashi Sarutobi pulled out the ninja sword, attached red flames to it, and attached the fire attribute chakra to block the assassination of the shadow blade for Jiraiya, buying time for Jiraiya's technique.

Sarutobi also condensed chakra scalpels on both hands at the same time, and rushed towards Shiraishi at a high speed.

The eight Konoha ninjas on the side were also moved by the sound, and rushed towards Shiraishi together with Sarutobi.

Shiraishi did not move on the spot, and the nine Oni Ninja ninjas behind him also jumped out, took out Kunai or ninja swords, and intercepted the nine Konoha ninjas including Sarutobi Konoha in mid-air.

After the nine Oni Ninja ninjas successfully intercepted the enemy in the air, the shadow under Shiraishi's feet suddenly burst open again, a large black shadow protruded from the plane, and a large number of slender shadow blades scattered from it, piercing the bodies of the nine Oni Ninjas from behind without mercy, stabbing at the bodies of the nine Konoha ninjas including Sarutobi Konoha at an unabated speed.

In the air, blood rained down.
