Chapter 69: The border fell, the earth-wind alliance!
The convoy assembled quickly!
The escort team was also selected.

Escorted by a Jonin and four squads.

And Tang Ping also taught a class.

Note that a group of three ninjas is called a team.

A squad consists of four people, led by a squad leader and three people.

This is also why Dou Ping and his team were previously the 'Third Class' instead of the 'Third Team'.

Dohei is in charge of the Honda Eagle team.

The other teacher was also there, but he was lying on the carriage as a wounded person.

The most important thing in this escort team is not supplies, but dozens of wounded ninjas.

The quantity is accumulated during this period of time.

With so many people, even if the two medical ninjas in the camp kept using ration pills, they couldn't treat them all, so they had to be transferred.

If you look closely, you'll find that most of this team are civilian ninjas.

I know everything!

Don't ever think that Tanqinyejian is doing whatever he wants.

In fact, this is just an 'unspoken rule'.

Dangerous and troublesome missions have always been carried out by civilian ninjas.

Since all the middle and high-level positions in the village are occupied by family ninjas, this is natural.

The same two Genin, the family ninja beats the civilian ninja, in this case it is reasonable to give priority to the family ninja, right?

No wonder Minato Namikaze will be able to rise to the top in the future, it is completely the trend of the times.

Because he was born into a common family.

In order to ensure stability for the civilian ninjas in the village, it is indeed necessary to let a Hokage of civilian origin take the position.

In addition to Minato Namikaze's own talents and personality, and his teacher being a Hokage, he was simply the best choice for the Fourth Hokage.

No wonder Orochimaru lost to him (key point: he didn’t have the Will of Fire).

All I can say is that some things are not coincidences, but destiny.

While thinking about these things in his mind, Dou Ping listened to the instructions given by the team leader, Jonin Kobayashi Ping.

"Team One will be in the front of the convoy, Teams Two and Three will be on both wings, and Team Four and I will stay at the back. We must protect the team and return to Konoha!"

As the commander of the mission, Kobayashi Taira, a jonin, naturally has the abilities.

But he knew in his heart that the Sand Ninja would definitely not let them go.

Especially those wounded, most of them are in a state of poisoning and cannot move, which is the best opportunity to deal with them.

"Yes!"*4
The four Chunins, including Dou Ping, nodded at the same time, indicating that the arrangement was clear.

"set off!"

Kobayashi Ping was the first to rush towards the convoy that had already set off.

A dozen carriages!
It is the escort team this time.

However, their escort team had just left the camp not far when they heard a loud explosion coming from behind.

boom!
The terrifying explosion could be heard clearly even from such a distance.

If the enemy pursues us, we will definitely kill them quickly.

Fortunately, the enemy's first target was the camp, not their convoy.

The attack was not by the main Sand Ninja army, but by a surprise attack by a small number of ninjas.

During these surprise attacks on the Sand Ninja.

The most dazzling.

Naturally, it was the female ninja who led the charge, with basin-sized fireballs spinning around her like satellites.

Ye Cang!

Facing her attack, the camp could only use detonating tags, kunai, etc. to push the opponent back.

The strong ones on the battlefield are so difficult to deal with.

If you don't have a strong person of the same level on your side, you will have to pay a greater price.

After Ye Cang charged for several rounds, he successfully climbed onto the camp wall at the cost of several kunai and the aftermath of the explosive talisman.

"Burning escape. Kill by steaming!"

After her bloodline limit was activated, the temperature around her skyrocketed, and one by one the Konoha ninjas quickly turned into mummies and fell down.

"Yakura, aren't you from the Sand Village afraid of our Konoha's revenge?"

Tenneno Ken came charging forward with a roar.

Even though they had known for a long time that Sunagakure was not honest, until today, they all thought that the other party was just using Konoha to divert the conflict and would not really take action.

After all, in terms of strength, Konoha is far superior to Sunagakure.

It’s a pity that the Konoha high-level officials don’t understand what it means that ‘rabbit will bite when it’s anxious’.

clang!
Ye Cang blocked the attack with a kunai and said in a resolute tone:
"What does the Sand Village have to lose now?"

This is what all the Sand Ninjas think. Since we are all going to die, we might as well take a chance.

If we win, the club is XX, if we lose, I am XX.

With this mentality, it is no wonder that the morale of the Sand Ninjas is so high at this time.

"I won't let your plan succeed!"

Although Utaneno Ken had selfish motives, he was definitely determined to give everything for the village, so he started working hard.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength between an elite jonin and a Kage-level powerhouse is like an inconceivable chasm. Unless one has unique secret techniques or forbidden techniques, it is not easy to make up for it.

Not only did Ye Cang have to face his desperate fight, but he also had to deal with the surging Konoha ninjas from time to time, but even so he still firmly held the upper hand.

"Kill!"

"Follow Lord Yekura and kill these damn Konoha ninjas!"

"Go together!"

...

The hundreds of Sand Ninjas who followed Ye Cang in the surprise attack were now in high spirits and rushed up the high walls of the camp.

Fight to the death and never retreat!

Even if I die, I will take the Konoha ninja with me.

Even though Konoha had the advantage of terrain and numbers, it was now at a disadvantage.

This is what happens when top-level combat effectiveness is poor.

In small-scale battles, the influence of top powerhouses is unquestionable.

"Damn it!"

As Ken Utaneno looked at his subordinates who were dying of dehydration, his eyes turned red.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the 'Otsutsuki' blood in his body, so he can't cheat no matter how angry he is.

After barely holding on for more than ten minutes.

Puff!

Ye Cang stabbed his neck with a kunai.

At this time, there were not many Konoha ninjas in the entire border camp, only the Sand ninjas bathed in blood.

A symbol representing the Sand Ninja rose high above the camp.

"Send a message to Iwagakure. Now it's their turn!"

Ye Cang glanced at the remaining Sand Ninjas, and a trace of pity flashed through her heart, but she immediately suppressed it and gave loud orders to the Sand Ninjas around her.

That's right!

Even if the Sand Village fights to the death, it doesn't mean they will just attack blindly.

The last time, the Third Kazekage and the Third Iwakage, Ōnoki, reached an agreement when they joined forces with the Chunin, which was to join forces to invade the Land of Fire.

It was only because of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage that this agreement was delayed for a while.

From the time the letter was sent to question Konoha until now, the Sand Village has been preparing for war and secretly reaching another agreement with the Iwagakure.

Well, this is the truth about the Third Ninja World War.

Like in the anime, the reason that "the disappearance of the Third Kazekage led to the Sand Village's attack on Konoha" is completely used to deceive children.

With the fall of the border camp, the scattered outposts and strongholds were naturally unable to resist the Sand Ninjas.

The Southwest Border has fallen!

This news also caused a strong reaction in Konoha.

First, the Uchiha jumped out.

They stated that Sunagakure had betrayed the alliance between the two villages, and that their Uchiha clan would help the village get back on its feet.

In response to their request for battle, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, said.

The Uchiha's motives are good and their actions are worthy of encouragement, but compared to Sunagakure, Kirigakure is more dangerous, so the 'strongest' Uchiha must be sent to guard against it.

So, the Uchiha clan was indeed able to go to the battlefield, but they were kicked off to deal with the Mist Ninja.

Mist ninja!

Compared to the Sand Ninja, the Mist Ninja is extremely restrained against the Uchiha.

Because everyone knows that this clan is best at fire escape, and the fog also restrains the Sharingan, so dealing with the Mist Ninja is simply a sin.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen appointed Orochimaru as the commander-in-chief and led two thousand Konoha ninjas to fight against the Sand Ninjas.

However, there was no response from the escort team that escaped from the border camp.

It's not impossible to rescue them.

But now that Sand Village has occupied the border, the cost of saving people is too high...

Therefore, the only option is to let the other party sacrifice for the "Will of Fire".

But sacrifice has to be made anyway, and some people think that the value of the sacrifice should be maximized.

As a result, a dispute broke out in the Hokage's office.
