Chapter 455 Sniping in the Land of Rivers
Just as Zenkong and the ghost army of Wangliang were fighting.
Meanwhile, in Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) of the Land of Lightning, the assembly had also been completed.
The operation was personally led by the Raikage, with Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, standing beside him.
In addition, he was accompanied by many other experts such as hope and Samui.
This team is full of talent and its strength should not be underestimated.
After careful preparation, the total number of people from Kumogakure who went on this expedition reached eight thousand.
Moreover, they also carried an astonishing number of storage scrolls and a large amount of various supplies.
All of this is to prevent Qianyao from launching another surprise attack.
After all, having suffered a painful lesson in the past, the Hidden Cloud Village knew how formidable Senyo was and dared not be careless in the slightest.
However, despite the formidable strength of the Hidden Cloud Village forces, their progress was rather slow.
As of now, they have only just stepped out of the borders of the Land of Lightning.
The reason for proceeding so cautiously was partly due to the excessive amount of supplies they were carrying;
On the other hand, it was because the Hidden Cloud Village sent almost its entire force this time, and those ninjas with relatively weaker strength were not included in the team.
The loss of each person is painful to witness.
After their previous defeat, the Hidden Cloud Village decided to adopt a steady and cautious strategy, proceeding step by step and no longer taking unnecessary risks.
It is worth mentioning that during the march, the Hidden Cloud Village also dispatched a large number of shrewd and capable intelligence personnel, scattering them in various directions.
These intelligence agents, like keen antennae, are constantly gathering all kinds of information from their surroundings.
According to the speculation of the Cloud Village's higher-ups, the forces of Konoha Village should soon clash head-on with the forces of Iwagakure Village.
Staying informed about the battle situation at the front is crucial for Kumogakure.
Only in this way can they better formulate response strategies and seize the initiative in the battle.
……
The Land of Rivers, located between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, acts as a natural barrier, buffering the conflict between the two countries.
However, this country lacks a powerful ninja village to support it, and its population is also very small.
Within the vast territory, large areas present a desolate and uninhabited landscape.
The terrain here is diverse, with undulating mountains and craggy rocks, but also vast plains.
Unfortunately, due to limited natural conditions, the land of rivers is relatively poor in resources.
Just as the Sand Village's forces were about to cross the central part of the Land of Rivers, an unexpected incident occurred.
—They ran headlong into the Konoha ninja who came to intercept them.
The leader of the team—the current Hokage of Konoha
—Uchiha Chiyo!
He walked alone at the very front of the group.
Hundreds of meters behind him stood the Konoha army, ready for battle.
As the saying goes, "A person's name casts a shadow on a tree," and now Uchiha Chiyo has long been recognized as the number one ninja in the entire ninja world.
A while ago, he single-handedly beat the Hidden Cloud Village to a pulp, and even the Two-Tails Jinchuriki died at his hands.
Fear appeared on the faces of most people on the Sunagakure side.
Chiyo and Hakura's expressions instantly turned ugly.
They originally thought Qianyao would head towards Yanyin, but they never expected that he would personally lead his troops to intercept them.
More importantly, Qianyao only brought about a thousand troops this time.
Logically speaking, anyone would feel immense pressure facing an enemy four times their size.
But given Qianyao's wisdom and strategy, he dared to act in this way.
That means he was full of confidence in himself and his mere thousand men, believing that this small force was enough to repel the Sunagakure invasion.
At such close range, the two sides collided head-on.
This was undoubtedly thanks to Chiyo's unique Kagura Mind's Eye, which allowed him to silently eliminate all the spies sent out by Sunagakure.
That's why, when the two sides had already closed to such a close distance, the Sunagakure side was surprised to find that the Konoha forces were already approaching.
Qianyao wore a smile, appearing relaxed and at ease as if he had simply come to the countryside for a spring outing.
"Elder Chiyo, please. It seems that you Sunagakure people are tired of living, daring to invade our Land of Fire."
However, it was precisely this calm and composed demeanor and tone that made Chiyo's heart sink involuntarily.
Chiyo knew that Uchiha Senyou was unfathomable.
She didn't even have the courage to look directly into Chiyo's eyes, for fear that she might be subdued by his Mangekyou Sharingan if she wasn't careful.
However, Chiyo refused to admit defeat verbally:
"Isn't the Hokage being far too arrogant? He dares to come and block my Sand Village army with only such a small number of people!"
As Chiyo spoke, she directed the people behind her to move quickly.
The originally tightly packed queue instantly began to disperse.
Clearly, Qianyao's several attacks have revealed a great deal of his own intelligence.
Everyone knows that Chiyo is most skilled at using large-scale fire-style ninjutsu.
If they continue to gather in one place, they will suffer heavy losses if attacked by fire-style attacks.
Qian Yao slowly turned his head and glanced at the thousand subordinates he led.
These teams are all elite; those who are weak are not even in these teams.
It is worth noting that a total of two hundred people in this team are from the Uchiha clan, and more than half of them have awakened their Sharingan.
Even Sasuke, Naruto, Karin, Gaara, and Hinata are in the team.
The team that Fugaku was trying to stop Iwagakure also included students from other elite classes.
"Ha...you actually think I brought too few men? I think these people are more than enough!"
Qianyao's lips curled up slightly, giving the Sand Village no extra time to react.
In an instant, the chakra around him exploded out like a violent whirlwind!
The powerful force caused the surrounding air to become viscous instantly, and even produced a low rumbling sound.
This sudden turn of events immediately put Chiyo and the other Sunagakure members under immense pressure.
They felt as if their bodies were being weighed down by a thousand-pound burden, so heavy that they could hardly move an inch.
Facing an opponent of Chahaila's caliber.
The Sand Village members were all terrified, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads, their eyes filled with endless fear.
If no action is taken soon, they will all be intimidated by Qian Yao's terrifying aura and lose the courage to fight.
Just then, Chiyo, who was the first to come to her senses, took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart.
She quickly waved her hands.
Immediately afterwards, a row of sharp kunai floated up to her chest as if they were alive.
"Claw Blade!"
With a furious shout from Chiyo.
The row of kunai rushed towards Qian Yao like lightning, with a sharp whooshing sound as they pierced the air, aiming straight for his vital points!
