Chapter 309: Sand Ninja Attacks!

The Kingdom of Wind!
The territory is mostly sand, and only oases are inhabited.

So even though it has the largest area among the five major countries, it has the smallest population.

The harsh natural environment has tempered the tenacity of the Sand Ninjas.

Of course, it is qualified to be ranked among the top five major countries, with a population of nearly 100 million, all of which are fed by the oasis, which shows how big the Wind Kingdom is.

At the same time, the Wind Kingdom has the most minerals.

Chakra metal!
The place with the largest production is this yellow sand land.

Although the southern part of the Kingdom of Wind borders the sea, there are not many settlements along the coastal areas, let alone development.

Because there is no "water source", there are also threats from the sea.

However, on this desolate coastline, there is a natural harbor.

At this time, a ship was slowly approaching this natural harbor.

tread!
A figure jumped onto the cliff before the boat even stopped.

"set off!"

Honglian called to a team of ninjas behind him.

"Yes!"*3
Several people responded in unison.

In addition to these ninjas, there were hundreds of ordinary people and a large amount of supplies on the ship.

Their mission was to set up a temporary camp here and prepare for the landing of subsequent large forces.

From the very beginning, Dohei was prepared to fight a big battle with the Sand Ninja.

In order to firmly control the mining area in the future, Tang Ping is ready to play a big game this time.

Not only do they want to use this incident to hurt the Sand Ninja, but they also want to take the opportunity to bite off a piece of fat from the Wind Kingdom.

Invade!

Just because Konoha looks down on the barren desert doesn't mean he looks down on it.

He was extremely envious of the vast resources under the yellow sand, so how could he not look down on them?

wrong!

He was not invading, but coming to give them freedom.

The castle tower is a 'beacon of freedom', how could it invade others?

False news!
Honglian didn't know about the follow-up arrangements, she led her team straight to the mining area.

A large number of heavy convoys can be seen passing by on the road.

Although it has only been out of operation for over a month, the wind and sand have already eroded away all these traces.

"Boost!"

While Honglian gave the order, he was also recalling the information about the mining area in his mind.

Thousands of people!
The Sky Ninjas captured several thousand people and threw them into the mining area to mine. Because the Sky Ninjas who were guarding them escaped and the news leaked out, the mining area was occupied by the nobles of the Wind Kingdom.

As for strength, Honglian is not too worried.

She is now a jonin.

This kind of strength is not common even in the five major ninja villages. In addition, with the ninja team he leads, they can run rampant unless they encounter a large number of Sand Ninjas.

The mining area is not too far from the seaside, only about 80 kilometers away, so it can definitely be considered the seaside.

But this is normal.

If the distance is too far, even if it is an open-pit ore vein that is not difficult to mine, it will be difficult to transport it to the seaside.

After all, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons of ore is not a small number.

In other words, the Sky Ninjas have extremely deep attainments in mechanics, and have been working hard for decades from the Second Ninja World War to the present, otherwise they would not have been able to make such a big fuss.

But they all belonged to Dodaira's castle tower.

After harvesting those steel battleships, aircraft, refining factories, craftsmen... it was a direct result of a wave of fat.

Now it’s all about industrial upgrading.

However, if we want to continue to develop, we must get enough ore, so the mining area must be taken back.

suddenly.

"careful!"

A perceptive ninja in the team spoke up to warn.

After making the sound, he carefully followed a steel wire as thin as a hair to dismantle a trap.

After seeing the trap clearly, even Honglian felt a little scared.

Because the detonating tags were arranged in a triangle, once someone stepped into the trap, even a senior ninja might not be able to escape.

Although Honglian encountered many traps during the previous clearing mission.

But this is the first time I have encountered such a sophisticated and hidden trap.

Ordinary ninjas do not have a systematic way to learn trap-related techniques and have to figure it out entirely on their own. However, the schools in the large ninja villages not only teach them, but they can also ask their seniors for advice, so naturally their level is different.

Not to mention, when it comes to props, how can ordinary ninjas compete with the ninjas from the big ninja village?

A detonating trap taught the team a lesson. Fortunately, an experienced perceptual Chunin was assigned to the team, otherwise there might be casualties.

After encountering a trap, the team slowed down their progress and finally arrived at the mining area.

Because they were here to reclaim the mining area and not to launch a surprise attack, the team approached openly.

The first thing that caught the eye was a flag representing the noble family, flying on top of a wooden watchtower, indicating that this place belonged to the noble.

And below is a huge yellow sand fortress.

But none of this matters.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the huge spiral pit that is almost several hundred meters wide and more than ten meters deep.

This is a bit too 'open-air'.

It is almost like an iron mine, covered only with a layer of yellow sand.

It's not surprising that this would happen.

The amount of iron ore mined in the Ninja World is far less than that in the world before the time travel.

If you had known before traveling through time that there was such a rich and easy-to-mine mining area there, you would have been shocked.

But in the ninja world, unless it is chakra metal or gold mine, not many people are fighting for it with all their might.

wrong!

Iron ore is still very valuable in places with good transportation and abundant production.

The Kingdom of Wind has never been without its own specialties, but it is extremely poor due to its transportation problems.

Just like the Sand Village, it is more than a thousand kilometers away from the border in a straight line. For such a long distance, the efficiency of using carriages and caravans for transportation can be imagined. It is completely not worth the cost.

Since Honglian and his group did not hide their tracks (they were causing trouble under the pretext of reclaiming the mining area), they were naturally discovered by the people in the watchtower at the first time.

Dang, Dang!

The other party struck the gong.

Then, figures in linen clothes crawled out of the sand pit like gerbils.

It was noon now, so naturally no one would be mining at this time, so everyone was huddled in the sand pit to avoid the scorching hot sun, and only rushed out when they heard the alarm gong.

But Honglian was the first to notice something was wrong.

too fast!
The other party responded so quickly, as if he had been trained.

The quantity is a little too small.

"careful!"

She reminded him and started to make hand seals at the same time.

"Crystal Release: Crystal Shuriken!"

He started with a crystal escape to test it directly.

Whizzing!

Pink crystal shurikens flew forward.

Although she is not unfamiliar with other ninjutsu, using bloodline limit will not only be more powerful but also consume less energy, so she naturally will not give up her advantage.

Among those who rushed out, a man wearing a linen coat and who looked like an ordinary miner was quickly performing seals.

"Wind Escape. Gale Wind Palm!"

He directly used a wind escape technique to blow away the shuriken condensed from the red crystal.

It is only a basic C-level wind escape technique, but in the opponent's hands it is comparable to a B-level wind escape technique, which is enough to prove the opponent's attainments in wind escape technique.

Bah!
The person who performed the ninjutsu canceled the transformation and returned to his true appearance.

His head was wrapped in white cloth, there were two red marks on the right side of his face, and his eyes were extremely ferocious.

But his age is surprisingly young, probably less than 20 years old.

acquaintance!

If Dou Ping was there, he would instantly recognize that the other person was the one he met Maki during the Chunin Exam.

Future also "solo-killed" Moonlight Gale.

I just didn't expect that the other party would show up in the mining area.

After all, he is not an unknown person.

The leader of the new generation of Sand Shinobi.

Bang, bang!

There were also some Sand Ninjas around him who had released their transformation techniques.

And that’s not all.

A Sand Ninja had already emerged from a sand cave behind them, blocking the retreat route in advance.

trap!

Honglian was very clear that he had fallen into a trap this time.

But she did not despair because she was confident in her own abilities, so she took a deep breath to calm down, and then responded.
