Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 267 Plan

At night, there was a strong wind and sand. Every household in Shayin Village sealed their windows tightly to prevent any sand from entering.

In this horrible weather, the streets outside were already deserted, and even the patrol members on duty were mostly huddled in their posts.

However, in an inconspicuous alley, a figure wrapped in a cloak stood motionless like a sculpture.

I don't know when, the sculpture-like figure suddenly moved, and I saw it slowly probed its head, revealing a short red hair under the brim of the hat.

At this moment, a voice slowly sounded from a corner not far away from Xie, "Your puppetry is becoming more and more evil. I have been watching it in the dark for a while, and I feel like you are like a stone. Sooner or later, one day You have to make yourself a puppet!"

Scorpion's eyes flashed, and several thousand coins flew out suddenly. Ma Ji's expression changed, and with a wave of his cuffs, a kunai quickly appeared in his hand. He waved the kunai left and right, easily catching the flying steel needles. Get out of the way.

"You're crazy!"

Marky said in disbelief.

"My whereabouts have been exposed!"

"You doubt me?"

"I only said hello to you during this operation."

"You have taken action too frequently in the past six months. It is not difficult for you to guess the pattern!" Ma Ji stared at this companion and tried to defend himself, "This time, Sandstorm Shinichi specially selected trustworthy people. He did it all within ANBU. to maintain confidentiality."

The weapon in Xie's hand slowly fell. He knew Ma Ji's strength well. If he really fought hard, if his Fei Liuhu was intact, he might still have some advantage, but he would definitely not be able to keep the opponent.

Perhaps in Scorpion's mind, this action means more catharsis. After all, in this vast village hidden in the sand, the other party is the only person he trusts.

That night, Ma Ji used his ANBU identity to forcefully rescue his seriously injured self. When Scorpion went out to make puppets, prepare poisons, and carry out assassination operations, Ma Ji used the ANBU's intelligence network to prepare for him.

There were even several times when the Anbu set up a dragnet for Xion to fall into the trap. It was Ma Ji who risked his life and reported the news in advance. It was because of this convenience that Xion had a 'Desperate Puppet Master' in Sand Hidden Village. title.

Just as Ma Ji was about to continue asking, he was suddenly startled. The kunai in his hand was thrown to the side like lightning. Under the blessing of the wind attribute chakra, the blade shone with a weak white light. When he got close, he could even hear some A faint whistling sound from the wind.

There was a crisp sound.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the shadows and grabbed the kunai, and the sound of the wind stopped.

How could it be possible that Ma Ji couldn't help but take a step back? This kunai was wrapped with a lot of wind attribute chakra, and the opponent was able to withstand it directly with his flesh and blood body. This kind of strength

Ma Ji looked back at Xie in disbelief, and saw the red-haired boy said helplessly, "It's not my fault."

"It's me who wants to come and see you." A familiar voice sounded, and for a moment, Marky seemed to feel like he was in another world.

Fuchuan walked slowly to Ma Ji and raised his head slightly. In three years, Ma Ji had become much taller than before.

Time flies so fast. Fukawa sighed and handed over the kunai in his hand again.

The horse took the kunai from the opponent's hand with a complicated expression. If it weren't for the man in front of him, he might still be an unlearned and unskilled civilian ninja, killing for survival in the dark slums all his life.

Now I am already a squad leader in ANBU, but the person in front of me

"Brother Fuchuan." Ma Ji subconsciously took a step back and said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to do. The Kazama clan is indeed kind to me, but my current identity is still an ANBU ninja. The small amount of help is because the friendship is still there." Ma Ji knew that the other party was planning to make a big fuss when he came back, but his personality has always been conservative. Maybe he always just wanted to be an ordinary ninja and live his life in peace. , and don’t want to get too involved in the grudges between big families.

"Now, I really don't want to get involved in the feud between the Kazama clan and the Sandstorm clan."

Hearing the other party's reply, Fuchuan was not surprised at all. Ma Ji is a smart person, and smart people tend to make the most rational choices. When facing such people, just make them less rational.

"It's such a pity." Fuchuan deliberately showed a regretful expression, "Ogura originally planned to have a good get-together with you and Xie."

"What?" Ma Ji seemed to be electrocuted, with a slightly anxious look on his face, "Ye Cang is back too? Doesn't she know that she is already on the wanted list?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Fuchuan blushed for no reason, "Who makes her my sister?"

"But since you have no intention of cooperating with us, then..."

"Three days."

"What?" Fuchuan was stunned when he heard this.

"Of course it's time to kill Sandstorm Lianya!" Ma Ji said without changing his expression, "Let's make a plan."

Fuchuan and Xie

At this moment, thousands of miles away in Konoha Village of the Land of Fire, a piece of information about "Changes in Sand Hidden Village, Suspected Return of the Kazama Clan" was placed in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.

"Danzo." The Hokage slowly took a puff of the pipe in his hand, "What do you think?"

"Although the casualties of ninjas in the village have increased over the years, overall, the ore free trade agreement signed with the Country of Wind has greatly reduced the cost of importing raw materials such as iron ore."

"The cost of weapons and blades has dropped by nearly 30%, and Sunagakure's strength has declined, which objectively makes the other party more dependent on us. At the subsequent meeting of the five major powers, if we want to take any action, we will naturally have one more supporter. In short, the benefits Indescribable.”

"It seems that your suggestion is in favor of..."

"Attack!" A fierce light flashed through Danzo's eyes, "Over the years, Sandstorm Renya thought that his position as the Kazekage had become more secure, and he began to secretly carry out small operations on the border. This operation can just show him Konoha The power of! And”

"The stronger the team we send, the stronger the shock will be to Sunagakure!"

"The issue of the Desert God of Death does require some caution. I think it would be better for 'Hatake Sakumo' to lead the team. After all, he has fought against that 'God of Death' many times."

The strange thing is that Danzo didn't say anything at this moment, he just lowered his head quietly, and after a moment he replied, "This time Orochimaru and the Uchiha clan will also go together."

Sarutobi was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he understood what he was thinking and sighed inaudibly.

The Third Hokage slowly looked out the window at this moment. Konoha was in peace at this moment, but under this peace there was an undercurrent.
