Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 291 Sand Ninja Civil War (2)

From Sunagakure to Pakura's camp, it would only take an ordinary ninja a day to travel.

Therefore, Luo Sha and his men did not intend to set up camp. They only planned to let the army rest for an hour in the afternoon, and then prepare to reach Yecang camp in one go to launch an attack.

In reality, the morale of this army wasn't very high; they were only slightly better than Yecang's troops because of their superior numbers.

Within a mere ten days, the Kazekage suddenly died, Rasa and Chiyo launched a massive purge, the great hero Pakura became a rogue ninja, both Rasa and Pakura proclaimed themselves Kazekage, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind died, and Rasa and Pakura each supported a new Daimyo...

Everything happened too fast, and things kept taking unexpected turns. Most of the ninjas were dumbfounded, and all sorts of rumors were flying around the village.

During this period, the ninjas who stayed in the village were alright, at least they knew what had happened. But many ninjas who went on missions found that the whole world had changed when they returned home, and they had no idea where to go or what to do.

During the break, the ninjas sat down on the ground, but no one spoke; everyone remained silent.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but I'm afraid that Luo Sha's confidants will hear it and I'll be suppressed.

Standing on the rock, looking at the surrounding army and feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Luo Sha was angry but also helpless. He gave a bitter smile and said, "Nobody trusts me."

Chiyo said from the side, "That's normal. After you eliminate Pakura and the others, you should govern Sunagakure well, and everyone will gradually support you. According to intelligence, Pakura's subordinates have even lower morale, so you don't need to worry."

While the two were talking, Chisuke had already brought Sonoda Hiru to the vicinity, but did not approach rashly.

Hiding behind a sand dune, Chisuke controlled the Eye of Sand to fly out. He saw some patrol teams but did not launch an attack rashly.

Chisuke glanced at the enemy's patrol intensity and explained the situation. Sonoda Hiru rolled his eyes and suggested, "Why don't we bypass these patrols and attack the enemy's main force directly? Then, all you have to do is unleash a Tailed Beast Ball, and it'll throw the enemy into chaos. They'll need a long time to regroup, which will achieve our goal..."

As they were talking, Sonoda noticed Chisuke staring at him strangely, and his voice gradually softened. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Chisuke shook his head and said in an admiring tone, "I didn't expect you to be so brave and confident, daring to directly attack the enemy army. The enemy must have made arrangements targeting me, their Jinchūriki, during this time. I dare not go."

Sunagakure is also one of the five great ninja villages. Even though its foundation is not as strong as Konoha's, it should not be underestimated.

As long as they are willing to make sacrifices and make proper preparations, not to mention Sensuke, the Jinchūriki, even Shukaku would be defeated, and it would be defeated for nearly a hundred years.

Sonoda Hiru felt that Chisuke was mocking him, and angrily said, "Fine, fine, I won't say anything. I'll do whatever you say!"

Chisuke's idea was the exact opposite of Sonoda Hiru's. He tried his best to avoid the enemy's main force, only harassing them from the outside. He would take down small groups of enemies and avoid large groups, not giving the enemy any chance to defeat him.

Sonoda Hiru's task is to provide support and confuse the enemy with illusions that are both real and false.

After agreeing on the tactics, Sonoda Hiru took the lead, setting up a formation in a specific area, and then Sensuke took action.

"Who goes there!?"

"what!!"

Four enemies were on patrol when the sand beneath their feet enveloped them. They only had time to shout before being crushed by the sand.

At the same time, Rasa's sensory unit immediately detected the chakra emitted by Chisuke during his attack.

"Lord Kazekage, this is Shukaku's chakra, located 500 meters to the southeast!"

Rasa said directly to Chiyo, "It's Chisuke! Chiyo, you command the army and guard against enemy ambushes. I'll take care of him!"

Rasa did not go to fight Sensuke alone; he was accompanied by twelve Sand Ninja.

Ever since he broke ties with Yekura and the others, Rasa had been preparing to deal with Chisuke, the Jinchūriki.

They selected a group of outstanding subordinates to train in the secret techniques and sealing techniques treasured by Sunagakure.

After many deaths and the expenditure of a large amount of special resources, a total of six people survived and formed the Human Jinchuriki Countermeasures Team.

They also paid a heavy price, suffering varying degrees of physical damage, and will spend the rest of their lives in pain from illness after this war.

Of the twelve people Rasa brought, six were these people. The remaining six were the sealing team. Although they were weaker, they were still able to cooperate with Rasa to suppress Sensuke.

After killing several enemies, Chisuke was loitering nearby when he spotted Rasa and the others and immediately launched an attack.

"Quicksand waterfall!"

In front of Chisuke, countless grains of sand rose into the air and rushed towards Rasa's direction.

Facing the boundless sea of ​​sand, Luo Sha calmly formed a mudra with his hands, and streams of gold dust rose from the ground, continuously seeping into the sea of ​​sand and slowing its speed.

The sand dunes moved slower and slower, and their altitude decreased until they finally stopped in front of Luo Sha.

Rasa jumped onto the sand dune and glanced around. He could only see the undulating golden sand dunes all around him, but Chisuke had already disappeared.

"Harassment? Luring the enemy in? Hmph! Before me, mere schemes are utterly insignificant!"

Under Chiyo's command, the army would continue to advance according to plan. Rasa was not worried, so he looked at the person next to him.

"Can you feel it?!"

The man was wearing huge black headphones, half-squatting on the ground with his eyes closed and his right hand pressed on the sand.

"Thirteen o'clock position, two hundred meters, two people."

Luo Sha sneered, "So you've hidden another accomplice? Heh, what a boring trick. Let's give chase!"

In the following period, with Sonoda Hiru's cooperation, they continued to fight guerrilla warfare, hitting Rasa and running away, always maintaining a safe distance.

In the opposite direction from Sensuke, on the other side of the Sand Ninja army, Ooka Shin began his operation.

Instead of openly attacking the Sand Ninja, he assassinated a small number of Sand Ninja on the outskirts, then created shadow clones that transformed into these people and infiltrated the Sand Ninja.

Before long, Chiyo led the Sand Ninja on their way forward.

At this moment, Chisuke's shadow clones suddenly launched an attack.

One of the shadow clones suddenly stopped, forcing the Sand Ninja behind him to halt as well. Frowning, the Sand Ninja nudged the clone's shoulder and said irritably, "Hey, Ichiro, why did you stop?"

Everyone was moving forward quietly when they suddenly heard someone speaking and all looked over.

Sensing the gazes of the crowd, the shadow clone shoved aside the Sand Ninja behind him, clenched his fists, and roared angrily.

"That bastard Rosa killed my comrades, how can I still fight for them?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around stopped in their tracks, and their expressions subtly changed.

Oh, I see. Are you dissatisfied with Rasa?

Actually, I'm dissatisfied too!

What you said is exactly what we all feel!

He actually dared to say it out loud, what a real man!

Many people couldn't help but nod slightly, their gazes towards the shadow clone revealing a hint of respect and pity.

Clearly, he will be killed soon.

Only one or two people familiar with the shadow clone's disguised identity felt suspicious.

That's not right. I haven't heard of Ichiro's family or friends being affected. Could it be someone we don't know about?
