Chapter 220 The World is Like Kurama Yakumo's Drawing Board

No longer a pillar, but a bridge?
But it is so difficult to be a bridge. Can I really do it?

Xiaonan questioned herself in her heart.

Sensei Jiraiya and Yahiko believed that people could understand each other, but after experiencing the pain of losing Yahiko, Nagato denied this path.

Xiaonan actually doesn’t know which path is the right one, and she doesn’t know whether there is real peace in this world.

All she did was trust her family.

Once, she believed in Yahiko; later, she believed in Nagato;
But now, after meeting Hinata Kiyomi, Konan discovered that he has the innocence of Sensei Jiraiya and Yahiko, the realism of Nagato, and the ability to turn his ideals into reality.

Maybe he could do better?
This thought suddenly popped up in Xiaonan's mind, and his curiosity and desire to explore Hinata Kiyomi reached its peak.

Nagato doesn't understand Hinata Kiyotsugu, and even if he does, he doesn't think he's wrong, and doesn't think Hinata Kiyotsugu can do better than him. But as a family member, he sincerely hopes that Konan can find her own way, instead of always taking the responsibility of being a "pillar" and following the direction of the bridge.

Maybe Xiaonan’s thinking cannot be changed in a short time, but as long as it has started, it is a good thing.

Nagato asked, "Konan, what are you going to do?"

"I'm not going to do anything but follow him and see."

Konan raised her right hand and reached into her arms, took out a paper flower and handed it to Nagato: "Like you said, don't look at what a person says, look at what he does. And this war is a test."

The paper flower floated in front of Nagato and slowly unfolded into a piece of white paper, revealing a line of small words.

Nagato took a look at it and threw it aside, then said: "I'll ask Zetsu to help you find someone."

"No, I don't like it to interfere."

Xiaonan shook her head, went back to her room, took out the folded white skirt from the box, and stared at it for a long time.

On the other side, Hinata Kiyomi couldn't help but swear after receiving the memories sent back by the shadow clone.

Who did I offend?

The immortal duo plus Pain and the Six Paths all came out to surround the enemy. Even if Hanzo was resurrected he wouldn't be able to enjoy this honor!
Moreover, he didn't know whether the Uchiha Fire Formation set up by the Shadow Clone using all the chakra could block Shurado's laser cannon. If the paper flower could be delivered to Konan, he wouldn't have to make another trip to the Rain Country.

Oh, that's so annoying.

Noticing his abnormality, Hyuga Hinata glanced at him slightly and asked with concern: "Kiyomi, what's wrong with you?"

Qingmi shook his head: "Nothing, let's move on."

"Yeah." Hinata raised her head and looked forward, "After crossing that mountain, we will enter the Kingdom of Wind."

"We are near the border of the four nations of Wind, Earth, Rain, and Bird. This place is as messy as the cat hair that piled up in the drain of the bathtub when Shirayuki was bathing. Based on Konoha's intelligence, I speculate that there should be an intelligence hub of the Sand Village nearby. Finding it is our first mission."

"If we remove it, the Sand Village will lose the ability to distinguish whether the information is true or not. Then we can spread all kinds of false information to cover our actions."

Qingmi nodded, then laughed: "What a vivid metaphor... And Hinata is really amazing, she can actually comb out this mess of 'cat hair' so neatly."

Hinata half-closed her eyes, hiding a little joy: "If you feel bored, Kiyomi can summon Shirayuki to play with you."

After careful consideration, the decision-making of the team was left to Hinata, and the reconnaissance mission was undertaken by the professional reconnaissance team. As for the battle, unless there was an unavoidable encounter, there was a high probability that there would be no battle.

Looking at it this way, it seems that there is really nothing else to do except petting cats.

Wow, so relaxing!

After entering the Kingdom of Wind, the team rested in a shady depression. Then Aburame Shino released the insects. These insects could smell the subtle pheromones in the air and find human gatherings in the general direction.

After waiting for about half an hour, several bugs flew back from afar and landed on his hand: "The distance to the south and northeast is beyond the detection range of the bugs."

Hyuga Hinata nodded: "I understand."

She took out the map and looked at it, and found a place suitable for human settlement in each of the two directions provided by Aburame Shino, and then arranged for the reconnaissance team to go out and explore.

Soon, the reconnaissance team returned to the temporary camp. They said they found the enemy's camps, but there were not two, but three, and there were about 15 ninjas stationed in each camp. Two of them were located in the south, about two kilometers away, and they were in a state of mutual support, probably belonging to the same force.

As for more intelligence, there was nothing we could do. After all, this was a desert, and it was difficult to get close to the enemy without exposing ourselves. We could only rely on the Byakugan to obtain information.

Hyuga Hinata thought for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Shino, Kiba, do you have any way to identify the enemy's identity?"

Aburame Shino shook her head decisively: "Insects have no vision, so they can't distinguish identities."

Inuzuka Kiba shrugged and said, "Akamaru can get some information in this regard through smell, but this is a desert, and the smell dissipates very quickly. You have to be close enough... you know."

If they can get close enough, Akamaru can get enough information to identify the enemy without any help.

Hinata frowned slightly: "It's a bit difficult."

Note that she said it was difficult, not impossible.

After all, this is a desert, and the ninjas in the camp always have to send people out to fetch water. As long as they catch one, they can naturally use illusion to get all the information. But the problem is that their team doesn't have much time to waste here.

After thinking carefully for a minute, Hinata called the captain of the reconnaissance team, then stretched out her hand and pointed to the northeast of the map: "Have you explored the terrain around this camp?"

"We have explored it clearly. The surrounding area is open and difficult to approach."

"It's hard to approach..." Hinata murmured, and then pointed to the two camps in the south, "What about this side?"

The captain was silent for a moment, then continued, "It's the same. After all, this is a desert."

Hearing this, Hinata was slightly depressed: "Yeah, this is a desert, a desert...wait!"

What is the thing that the desert has the most?
Sandstorm!
What this Byakugan sniper team has the most is wind-style ninjas!
As long as there are enough wind-style ninjas using wind-style ninjutsu together, it is enough to create a sandstorm with manpower. With the cover of the sandstorm, the problem of approaching the enemy camp is solved.

So the next question is, who should be chosen first?
At this time, Hinata Kiyomi suddenly came over and said, "Just pick one of the two camps in the south. Those two are obviously in the same group, and this is the Land of Wind. The only one capable of setting up two camps here is the Sand Village."

Hinata nodded and said, "What Kiyomi said makes sense, but the two camps are mutually exclusive, and we don't have enough manpower to split our forces. If we choose to attack one, we won't be able to take care of the other."

"That's not a problem," Kiyomi laughed, turned sideways, and revealed a figure, "Just leave it to Yakumo." Hinata was stunned for a moment, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes: "Kurama Yakumo?"

"Hey, what's that look in your eyes!" Yakumo put his hands on his hips and said unhappily, "Do you think I'm a loser who can do nothing but steal men?"

hiss! ! !
The moment the words fell, several sounds of people gasping for air were heard all around.

In fact, Shino and Kiba had heard something about the conflict between Kurama Yakumo and Hyuga Hinata, but they didn't expect that the tension would become so strong all of a sudden.

However, what surprised them even more was that Hinata actually changed her usual gentle image, sneered, and said sarcastically: "What a coincidence, I really think so."

A pair of white eyes with a mocking look in them is simply unmatched.

"Haha!" Yakumo glared back, not wanting to be outdone. He then took out a drawing board and said, "Alright, I don't want to waste everyone's time here. Hurry up and choose a target. Finish the fight as soon as possible and call it a day."

Hinata's mockery disappeared instantly, and she said seriously, "Tell me what you want to do first, otherwise how can I arrange everything?"

"Remember the Great Fireball Jutsu we used when we were kids?"

"Great Fireball Jutsu?" Hinata thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what she meant.

The Fireball Technique alone is certainly not worth talking about, but what if it is a fake "Fireball"?

She raised her head and looked around. There were 20 people in this White Eye Sniper Squad. "Have you been able to do this now?"

Yakumo raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smug smile: "Only twenty people, I could have done it a few years ago."

The two of them were seriously discussing their next action plan, and there was no trace of the tit-for-tat they had just shown. It was just...

Inuzuka Kiba looked at Aburame Shino and said, "What are they talking about?"

Aburame Shino raised her hand and pushed up her sunglasses: "I don't know either."

"..." Inuzuka Kiba pondered for a moment, then looked down at Akamaru.

Akamaru shook his head: "Woof~"
-
In the endless desert, the Sand Ninja, Marvin, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the dark horizon. He raised his hand as high as he could and could vaguely feel a slight breeze passing through his fingertips.

Then Marvin walked down the sand dune, formed seals with his hands, and the sand on the ground suddenly sank, revealing a tunnel entrance.

He had just jumped down when he heard his companion ask, "Marvin, it's not time to change shifts yet, why did you come down?"

"A sandstorm is coming," he explained.

His companion patted him on the shoulder and said, "I see. I'll go and warn the others, and you go and seal the gap in the bunker on the windward side."

"Ah."

This is a camp built underground. Although it is underground, it is not very deep, only about three or four meters deep. It is called a bunker, but in fact it is more like a house covered by sand.

There are no conditions for building a windbreak here, so when a sandstorm comes, the Sand Village ninjas will use earth escape techniques to seal and reinforce the windward side of the bunker, making it serve as a windbreak.

Marvin had just finished reinforcing the bunker when he heard the whistling sound of the wind. He lowered his body slightly, walked to his companions, and lay on the ground with them.

No one knows how powerful the sandstorm is. If the lid of this bunker is opened, the people standing on it will be blown away immediately, and others will not even have a chance to reach out and help.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, but the bunker remained stable, without even the slightest tremor.

Marvin couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Just as he was thinking about whether he should go to the leeward side of the bunker to check out the situation, he suddenly felt a violent vibration under his body.

"Oh no, it's an enemy raid!!!"

The companions around him all took action. Some formed hand seals to release ninjutsu, while others took out scrolls to release their puppets.

But no matter what they did, it was too late. The next second, the horrific flood collapsed the roof of the bunker, like catching a turtle in a jar, and drowned all the Sand Village ninjas inside.

Before they could escape from the flood, the world had gone silent, leaving only the chirping of thousands of birds.

When Hinata Kiyomi stretched his left hand, which was wrapped in lightning, into the water, he knew that he had won.

All the Sand Village ninjas could see was a vast expanse of white. Their ears were already filled with the sound of thunder and lightning, and their bodies were numb and they could not feel anything. Outside the bunker, there was no sandstorm, only a group of ninjas wearing Konoha forehead protectors.

The Hyuga clan ninjas rolled their eyes and looked deep underground to see if there were any Sand Ninjas using Earth escape techniques. The other Konoha ninjas surrounded the bunker to prevent any escapees from rushing out.

Hyuga Hinata formed seals with both hands and made a seal for earth escape. She was kindhearted and couldn't bear to see someone's body exposed in the wilderness.

It’s a bit strange to say, but after being kissed by Qingmi that day, I found that there was more earth-attribute chakra in my body when I woke up the next day.

It seemed similar to the incident a few years ago. I had a conflict with Qingmi, and we hugged each other after we made up. The next day, I found that I had a new bloodline limit, the Shikotsuki Vein, in my body.

Could it be that……

Hinata glanced sideways with a complicated look at Hinata Kiyomi who was squatting in front of her.

"What are you looking at?" Yakumo Kurama put away the drawing board and took down a piece of paper with a sandstorm drawn on it.

Hinata shook her head, "Nothing."

"If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Ha, do you think I care?" Yakumo threw the drawing paper into the pit. The white drawing paper was quickly wetted by the water and then torn into pieces by lightning.

As for her drawing board, there is a brand new work - "A Quiet Sand Dune Where Nothing Happened"

At another Sand Village camp two kilometers away, the ninja on duty scratched the back of his head suspiciously.

"Strange, why do I always feel like there is some sound?"

He looked up and looked towards the nearby Sand Hidden Camp, and found that nothing had happened there. Standing on the sand dune was Marvin, his companion who he had greeted when fetching water in the morning.

"Is it really me who is hallucinating?"
