Chapter 126: Surprise Attack on Sand Village (Subscription Request)
At night, everything is quiet

A team of four was moving quickly through the woods. They were Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, Kaoru, and Kuyuki.

A special team consisting of four Kage-level members!
Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not consider Kaoru, because once Kaoru left, Ebizo in the battlefield of River Country would definitely do his best to suppress Tsunade once he learned the news.

But Xun's Flying Thunder God Technique is too useful, and if the surprise attack is successful or fails, he can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly escape from the battlefield.

After careful consideration, and with Kaoru's self-recommendation and Tsunade's assurance, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally took Kaoru with him.

The wind blows past my ears, and the only sounds around me are the chirping of insects at night, announcing their presence.

Jiu Xing looked back at the Sand Ninja front camp in the night.

With his Kagura Mind's Eye, he can perfectly avoid all the Sand Ninja patrol teams.

It was also because of this that the four-man team was able to break through Ebizo's border defenses effortlessly.

All four of them were experts and they didn't have much baggage, so they went at full speed and crossed the entire River Country in less than four hours.

In Jiuxing's field of vision, the Kingdom of Wind with endless yellow sand could be seen in front of him.

Sixty percent of the Wind Kingdom's land is uninhabited desert. Because of this, they cannot support more people and are in urgent need of expanding outward to occupy more fertile land.

And the Fire Nation is their best target.

It is also because of this that in the first, second and even this Ninja World War, the Wind Country always clashed head-on with the Fire Country.

Although the geographical environment of the River Kingdom is also good, the Fire Kingdom will never sit idly by and watch the Wind Kingdom occupy the River Kingdom.

Once the Kingdom of River is taken over by the Kingdom of Wind, it means that the two great powers are directly bordering each other, which is something that the Kingdom of Fire does not want to see.

The Fire Nation needs the small countries around it to serve as a buffer zone in war.

As the four of them rushed directly into the desert, Jiu Xing could feel the temperature dropping rapidly.

The desert is a strange place. The temperature can reach 40 or 50 degrees during the day, but can drop to below zero at night.

It was unknown how long it had been before Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped. He took out the map in his arms and looked carefully at the coordinates on the map in the moonlight.

"We are still three hours away from the Sand Village."

"Rest for three hours now and quickly recover your chakra and physical strength."

None of them said much, as the next battle was related to the subsequent decisive battle, and it was related to the survival of the nine thousand ninjas on the Konoha battlefield.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the Konoha military coat that had been prepared in advance from the sealing scroll and gave one to each person.

Although this coat is a bit ugly, it can be used as military supplies and its quality is impeccable.

It is dirt-resistant, wear-resistant, waterproof, fire-proof and warm-keeping. It has everything it needs and has all the necessary functions.

Jiuxing was wrapped in a coat and huddled in a corner. Xun also squeezed directly into his arms, smelling Jiuxing's scent, closing his eyes and began to recover the chakra that was depleted due to the long-distance run.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiuxing and Xun without saying much, but took out a soldier pill from his arms and put it into his mouth.

He was old, and he had just fought a battle in the Grass Kingdom and then rushed to the River Kingdom without stopping. After that, he made a long raid to the Wind Kingdom, and his body could not bear it anymore.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was breathing lightly, and visible white air came out of his mouth and nose.

However, at this time a water bag was handed to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Warm yourself up, teacher."

Orochimaru looked at the old man in front of him and spoke.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the water bag and drank it down in one gulp, then said in some doubt:

"This is……"

"I got it from Tsunade."

"It must be her last stock."

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly. "Although alcohol is prohibited during wartime, special circumstances warrant special treatment."

After looking at this most reliable disciple, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say much after all.

Jiu Xing glanced at the deep affection between the master and disciple playing out next to them and didn't say much, but just held Xun tightly in his arms.

Maybe it would be necessary for others to restore their chakra, but he felt that he still had plenty of chakra.

The Uzumaki clan is a bunch of idiots, not to mention that she is the protagonist's mother, bah, the protagonist's father.

The chakra is already extremely huge, and there is also the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body.

Jiu Xing could even sense that Xun still had a lot of chakra in his arms.

With his fingers gently entwined with the blonde hair and looking at the sleeping face of the girl in his arms, Jiu Xing actually felt a sense of peace at this moment when the battle was about to begin.

Snapped!
Xun simply slapped away Jiu Xing's hand that was playing with her hair.

Jiu Xing pursed her lips and looked at the girl in her arms.

My Xun is not well behaved...

However, Xun seemed to notice Jiuxing's emotions. He opened one eye and looked at the guy with dissatisfaction.

This bastard hasn't explained to her about Uzumaki Mika yet!
If Xun hadn't felt sorry for her, he would have exploded long ago.

Ah~ My Kaoru glared at me~~
Ignoring Jiu Xing and Xun who were interacting on the side, Sarutobi Hiruzen just curled up quietly with his eyes closed, trying to recover his chakra as quickly as possible.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sun rose as usual. When the distant horizon began to light up, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Orochimaru, Kyuuki and Kaoru were ready.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and stretched his body.

"Not long, about an hour and a half."

"There are still more than ten minutes before departure."

Orochimaru looked at the teacher in front of him and spoke in a somewhat confusing tone.

Even someone as strong as the teacher cannot escape the fate of aging...

"Without further ado, let's set off now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt the chakra filling his body and didn't want to waste any more time, so he made a decision immediately.

The Sand Village is located in the vast desert. It is in a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it has a natural barrier called the Line of Sky.

No one has ever attacked the Sand Village head-on.

But in Jiu Xing's opinion, who would be willing to travel all the way to this remote place to attack the Sand Village.

It's a completely thankless task.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is going to do this thankless task today.

At 6:30 in the morning, when the people of Sand Village were still in a drowsy sleep, four uninvited guests had already appeared on the outskirts of the village.

Jiu Xing looked at the natural barrier that was dozens of meters high, his expression unchanged.

Although the Sand Village follows the so-called elite ninja route, to be honest, they are actually the bottom one among the five major ninja villages.

If it weren't for the endless desert that blocked the enemies, the Sand Village would not have been able to jump like this.

"According to the plan, old man, I'll go first."

Jiu Xing put a Flying Thunder God Kunai into his ninja tool bag, and the golden chakra once again dyed his body.
