Chapter 74

"How is it going?"

"Reporting to Elder Chiyo, there is still no movement; the Army of Konoha seem to just surround us."

"It doesn't seem ready to attack!"

Upon hearing this answer, Chiyo also quickly came to the gate.

Looking solemnly at Konoha's camp, my mind kept thinking, "What the hell is Konoha doing?"

"Always pay attention! If there is any movement, report it immediately!"

"Clear!"

After instructing the ninja in charge of vigilance again, only then did Chiyo leave the city gate with a worried face.

I always feel that Konoha is cooking up a conspiracy or they are waiting for something.

At this time, in the Konoha Camp, "Master Jiraiya, it's been a few days; why haven't we launched an attack yet?"

" Hiashi also sent someone back just now, saying that Pakura's army has withdrawn from the mist battlefield, and it will not be long before reaching the rear of our army!"

"At that time, we will be attacked by the enemy from both sides!"

Now that the army has been stopped at the gate of Sunagakure, the Shinobi army leaders also gathered in front of Jiraiya's big tent.

No one understands why the army has marched to the gate of Sungakure, but wouldn't attack.

In the face of people's doubts, Jiraiya smiled and put a special kunai in front of everyone. Looking at Ryan's special mark on the Kunai, everyone was taken aback.

"Master Jiraiya, is Master Hokage coming to the front too?"

For the problems of the people, Jiraiya just smiled without saying a word. Immediately, he quickly injected some Chakra into the specially made Kunai in his hand.

Ryan, who was far away in the Hokage building, felt the imprint of the Flying Thunder God instantly.

With the Flying Thunder God activated, Ryan's figure instantly appeared on the Sand Shinobi battlefield.

Looking at Ryan, who suddenly appeared, everyone present was overjoyed.

"Hokage-sama!!!"

"Great! It's Hokage-sama!!"

"Hokage-sama, are we going to attack?"

Now with Ryan's arrival, the morale of the camp was instantly ignited.

Everyone looked at Ryan expectantly. As long as Ryan gives an order, everyone will charge toward Sand Shinobi without hesitation.

Facing all the eager eyes, Ryan smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, I will not trade your lives for victory! You just have to follow me to Witness the dawn of a new era!"

As Ryan said this, everyone in the entire camp immediately cheered.

Everyone is bound to follow in Ryan's footsteps after everyone understands the price of war in the shinobi world. Nobody wants to die.

Not only did the fanatical gaze not decrease at all, but it became even more intense. Even Jiraiya is no exception. Now Ryan is the prophesied son in the Great Toad Sage prophecy in the eyes of Jiraiya. Naturally, he will follow in Ryan's footsteps.

"Set off!"

Following Ryan's order, the army immediately followed Ryan and set off toward Sungakure.

Sand Shinobi, who had just been instructed by Chiyo to keep an eye on Konoha's army, saw the movement in the Konoha camp and also hurriedly called Chiyo, who had just left.

Upon hearing that there was movement in the Konoha Camp, Chiyo directly led a group of Sunagakure executives to the top of the gate.

Looking at the Konoha army rushing here, Chiyo's complexion changed drastically.

"Army on full alert! Konoha is about to attack!"

Following Chiyo's orders, the whole Sunagakure went on standby.

The Sand Shinobi standing at the front were nervously swallowing, as they knew they had to face the attack of Konoha, the strongest ninja in the ninja world.

As Konoha's army kept approaching, Chiyo also noticed Ryan, who was at the forefront.

"Um?!"

"Konoha's Fourth Hokage is here too." Seeing Ryan's figure, Chiyo was also surprised. Unexpectedly, Konoha's Hokage rushed to the front line. Chiyo had heard before that the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was dismissed from his position, and the new Fourth Hokage, Ryan, had great ambitions.

Only half a year ago, he captured three countries, and now he has set his sights on Sungakure. It seems the scale of his ambition is not small.

As Ryan led the army to the gate not far from Sand Shinobi, Chiyo also directly shouted to Ryan, "Fourth Hokage!!!"

"It's been a long time. I am also quite curious. This time, why did you choose to attack our village? haven't you seen the environment of the Land of Winds? Such a place, Compared to your country of fire, is probably nothing more than a worthless and inhabitable piece of land!"

At this time, Chiyo really wanted to know what Hokage Ryan was thinking. Why would they attack their country instead of somewhere else? In all wars, nobody attacked them for their land because it is a desert.

Ryan looked at Chiyo with a smile. "Elder Chiyo, don't belittle your Land of Wind. This place may not look like much, but you don't need to worry about what I'm going to do."

Chiyo, standing on the high platform, couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly. Seeing the glint in Ryan's eyes, she knew there was something more to it.

Without waiting for Chiyo's answer, Ryan, who was standing in the front, suddenly formed a seal with both hands.

"Tengai Shinsei!!!"

Harnessing the power of Rinnegan and Tenseigan, Ryan directly pulled down the meteorite in space. After starting the Jutsu, he slowly lowered his hands and stared playfully at the Sand Shinobis in front of him.

At this time, Chiyo and the others still didn't understand what Ryan had done. They had only seen him make a seal, similar to launching some kind of ninjutsu, but there was no movement around.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, just when everyone was wondering, an exclamation instantly broke the calm: "My God!!! Look at the sky!"

"What is that?!"

"A big meteorite!!! It's coming towards us!" With exclamations, all the Sand Shinobis, including Chiyo, raised their heads and looked up to the sky. They saw a terrifying meteorite burst through the clouds in an instant, and under the friction of the atmosphere, the underside of the meteorite even turned red.

"How is this possible?!" "What level of ninjutsu is this?"

At this moment, countless Sand Shinobi fell to their knees in despair. Facing this natural disaster-level ninjutsu, everyone suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

Even Chiyo wanted to give up now. But as the elder of Sand Shinobi, she couldn't give up like this, otherwise, Sand Shinobi would be truly over.

"Boom!!!!" When everyone was desperate, Chiyo instantly took out the scroll at her waist. With a puff of smoke rising, a puppet dressed in white instantly appeared beside Chiyo, it was the secret technique that once wiped out a city—the Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu.

These ten puppets were created by the first puppeteer Monzaemon Chikamatsu and later came into Chiyo's possession, the use of which earned her great fame. The Chikamatsu Collection has terrifying prowess in taijutsu, ninjutsu, bukijutsu, and so on. Furthermore, as they can change their numbers by combining, the number of abilities they can show becomes even greater.

Looking at these old puppets around her, Chiyo sighed helplessly. To stop this meteorite from crashing into Sungakure and wiping it out. She knew that this time, these puppets that she had worked so hard on would be scrapped. "Everyone!!! Don't give up! Gather all your strength! Resist this meteorite!" she shouted.

I saw that after Chiyo gave the order, she directly controlled the Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu to meet the meteorite in the air. The ten puppet dolls instantly stood under the meteorite, and the terrifying power almost broke Chiyo's Chakra line controlling the puppet. Feeling this terrible power, Chiyo hastily increased the Chakra output.

At the same time, the three puppets in charge of defense were controlled to quickly form an array and launch a defensive rally. "Crack!" But even so, cracks began to appear on the bodies of the ten puppets. However, the speed of the meteorite's descent did not slow down at all. Seeing this scene, Chiyo became even more anxious.

"Wind Style—Great Breakthrough!!!"

"Wind Style—weasel Scythe Technique!"

"Wind Style: Vaccum Bullets!"

Just when Chiyo felt helpless, the Sand Shinobi who reacted also used their own ninjutsu one after another. A series of wind blades instantly cut towards the meteorite in the air, not expecting to be able to completely stop it, but hoping to chop it into pieces to reduce the damage caused after it falls.

However, these wind blades were nothing compared to the massive meteorite covering the sky and blocking the sun. They did not cause the slightest damage to the meteorite.

"Damn, it's useless at all!"

"What should I do now?" "It's over, it's over!"

Seeing that everyone's Wind Style attacks didn't work at all, a strong sense of despair instantly swept over everyone. Even Chiyo felt a little helpless at the moment.

The ten puppets of Chikamatsu were now almost reaching their limit. Just when everyone was desperate, "Magnet Style—Golden Sand Tsunami!!!"
