Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

Ninja world.

Within the Kingdom of Wind, the vast sea of ​​sand and undulating sand dunes are exposed to the scorching sun day after day.

The high temperature makes the air here feel a bit wet, and occasionally you can see some snakes or lizards crawling around.

this place.

It is less than two kilometers away from Loulan Kingdom. If you walk a little further and find a sand dune with a higher slope, you will be able to see this thousand-year-old city lined with spiers.

However, compared with the previous empty space, as the World Government "secretly" occupied Loulan, one after another simple sentry towers that seemed to be made of loess appeared on the periphery.

On top of each guard tower are two black-clad soldiers wearing full army combat equipment, holding heavy automatic rifles, and wearing wind and sand masks on their faces. They are always scanning the fan they are responsible for.

Their appearance seems to be completely inconsistent with this world.

"How's it going, Hizashi?"

Behind the sand dunes about five hundred meters away from the sentry tower, four ninjas wearing Konoha vests and uniforms and a large brown-coated ninja dog sat together.

Among them, the handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes who spoke was none other than Minato Namikaze, the captain of this mission team.

The person he was questioning was a young man with long black hair with white eyes and a large number of veins protruding near his eye sockets.

He was facing the hot sand, looking like he was observing something carefully.

This man is Hyuga Hizashi, a branch of the famous Hyuga clan in Konoha Village.

The other two are Akimichi Choza from the Akimichi clan and Inuzuka Jaw from the Inuzuka clan.

All four of them were jonin.

This mission has also been designated as Super S-level by Konoha Village, which means ‘a special secret mission involving transnational levels’.

The mission content is to find a way to sneak into Loulan to collect all effective information and bring it back to Konoha Village.

In the eyes of those Konoha senior officials, Crocodile has decided to settle in the capital of the Kingdom of Wind.

Then Loulan has the possibility of sneaking in.

The failure process of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo not only gave Namikaze Minato more important information that the root ninjas had exchanged for their lives.

He was also paired with Hyuga Hizashi and Inuzuka Jaw with different sensory abilities.

It can be regarded as the top configuration of Konoha's four-person team.

"In addition to the two armed soldiers on the guard tower, there were also two armed soldiers and a man in a suit who appeared to be unarmed on the first floor of the guard tower."

"He has two pistols on his waist, a short knife on his back, and many small things similar to pills and snails in his pockets. He should be the man in black who is good at physical skills mentioned in the intelligence."

"Then south of the sentry tower, about a hundred meters away in the sand, there is a figure hiding in the sand with a pistol and a short knife on his waist, and holding a long gun in his arms. His clothes are very thin, he should be a hidden sentry."

"But please note that there is a sentry tower with the same configuration each 500 meters to the north, south, and west. There is also a taller large sentry tower at the edge of one kilometer to the west."

"There are four soldiers on it, each holding a firearm with a longer body and a thicker barrel. They also use something like a monocular on the gun to scan the surroundings from time to time."

Hinata habitually lowered her voice to describe everything that Byakugan saw.

Namikaze Minato and the others did not interrupt, they listened silently, took notes carefully, and at the same time thought about the future battle plan.

Until Hinata said the word 'above' every day.

"What a professional defense arrangement. In this way, no matter which sentry tower is moved, the opponent will find it. Are these a group of non-ninjas?"

Namikaze Minato frowned slightly.

In their fixed thinking, ordinary people do not have such high military literacy, even those warriors holding knives.

Akimichi Choza said: "Maybe we can sneak in invisible?"

"You can give it a try, but according to the information obtained from the Kumogakure ninja, some people on the other side seem to have very strong perception abilities, and can even predict a person's next move during the battle."

Hearing what Namikaze Minato said, Inuzuka shook his head helplessly: "It sounds like the Sharingan of those Uchiha guys is a bit tricky to predict the movements in advance."

"Well, but it seems that not many people have this kind of perception ability, so we must first test whether the people in this sentry tower have this ability."

After saying that, Namikaze Minato quickly formed a seal and created two shadow clones around him.

"Then let's go!"

The two shadow clones whispered in unison.

Because when performing the technique, Namikaze Minato sent his thoughts to the clone.

Therefore, these two clones did not need to give too many instructions. One used the transformation technique to transform into a desert lizard and burrowed into the sand, while the other used the invisibility technique to leave quietly.

In order not to expose this position, he first moved laterally for about a hundred meters, and then walked towards the sentry tower in an "open and fair" manner.

at the same time.

Hinata Hizashi continued to use his Byakugan to relay the movements of the two shadow clones and the situation of the personnel in the sentry tower to Namikaze Minato and the others.

Inuzuka E and his ninja dog 'Chawan' used their noses to pay attention to the smell in the air from time to time.

the other side.

The 'lizard' hidden under the sand layer had already arrived at the sentry tower because there was no detour.

"The personnel inside did not respond." Hinata Hizashi smiled happily.

"In other words, the opponent either has that kind of perception ability, but cannot detect the transformation technique or the slight movement under the sand layer, or does not have that kind of perception ability, or does not actively use it?"

Namikaze Minato didn't know when he took out a pen and wrote information on a blank scroll.

After a while.

The shadow clone who used the invisibility technique came to the vicinity of the guard tower with steps that made almost no sound and no obvious footprints. Hyuga Hizashi nervously observed the reactions of the two gun-wielding soldiers on the guard tower.

Five seconds later.

"Captain, there is no response from the people above or inside!"

"Really, that's great. It seems they don't have that kind of perception. If they do, the possibility of not detecting the invisibility technique is too low."

Namikaze Minato speculated thoughtfully.

The other three nodded in agreement. Invisibility is an extremely basic ninjutsu. If you can't even perceive it, what kind of perception is it?

So the most likely possibility is that the people in the sentry tower have no perception.

"Think about it. Not everyone on the other side can have that kind of powerful perception, let alone be sent to the outermost areas to serve as sentinels."

"But be careful when you get close to Loulan City. There are 100% people with strong senses like this!"

While reminding his teammates, Namikaze Minato became worried about Sara, the Queen of Loulan, hoping that her life was not in danger.

Yes.

Namikaze Minato never erased the memory of his experience in Loulan.

Because he believed that he would not do anything that would affect the balance of time and space, and at the same time, as a father, he wanted to leave early memories with his future son.

To be honest, if it weren't for a series of events that happened recently, it would be too big.

Namikaze Minato even thought about refusing to carry out this mission, just so that he would not come to Loulan Kingdom and cause unnecessary problems.

"Then what to do next?" Inuzuka asked.

"sneak into!"

Namikaze Minato gathered his thoughts, glanced at his three teammates with a pair of blue eyes, and showed a reassuring smile.

"Dingzuo-san and I are in the front, Hizashi-san and E-san are in the back. Keep a distance of fifty meters from each other. If necessary, use it to communicate at any time!"

I saw him take out the radio headset that Konoha Village had just invented not long ago and was still strictly in the experimental stage from his arms and put it into his right ear.

"yes!"

Akimichi Dingzao, Hinata Hizashi, and Inuzuka E agreed and put on their headsets one after another...

"action!"
