A Knife Pierced Into The Rear Of Sand Shinobis

Chapter 43: A Knife Pierced Into The Rear Of Sand Shinobis

A natural canyon filled with wind and sand lay before them.

On one side, the Konoha defense force was stationed, while on the other side stood the Sand Shinobi force.

Originally, the location occupied by the Sand Shinobi troops belonged to the Land of Rivers, which Konoha referred to as the River Country. However, the Land of Rivers had been fully taken over by the Sand Shinobi, turning it into an outpost for their attacks on the Fire Country's border.

The Sand Shinobi's frontline command post was situated there. Chiyo, her younger brother, Ebizō, and several frontline captains gathered around, studying a detailed map.

After a while, Chiyo massaged her shoulders and glanced at the group.

"What are your thoughts? Have you come up with a plan to breach Konoha's position?"

Breach Konoha's position—this was Chiyo's primary strategic objective. Only after successfully achieving this step could they proceed with a large-scale attack.

"We can utilize the wind and sand to our advantage, combined with explosive tags, to break through the Konoha forces."

Someone suggested utilizing the natural elements of wind and sand.

Chiyo remained expressionless upon hearing this suggestion and turned to the next person.

"Surprise attack at night, also utilizing the wind and sand."

The second person proposed a surprise attack at night, building upon the initial idea. However, Chiyo still showed no expression.

"Why don't we employ the previous method of sending Rosa? We can feign an attack while simultaneously allowing our elites to infiltrate."

Ebizō seized the opportunity to speak, thinking back to Rosa's successful infiltration and wanting to replicate it.

"I see no signs of growth in you."

Having listened to the suggestions, Chiyo let out a long sigh and looked at the subordinate who made the initial suggestion.

"Have you not noticed that the defensive fortresses constructed by the Konoha troops are immediately occupied?"

"What does that mean? It means there's a risk of intrusion! Once we breach an unoccupied defensive fortress, we'll be surrounded by Konoha shinobi from other forts."

"Return the explosive tags? Blow up a few empty fortresses and turn them into our graves?"

After scolding the first subordinate, Chiyo turned to address the second subordinate.

"A surprise attack at night? Do you think the Hyuga on the opposing side is blind? Do you believe the Byakugan suffers from cataracts? You're mentally deficient," Chiyo now felt somewhat relieved.

She shifted her gaze towards her younger brother, Ebizō.

"Hmm... your suggestion is ineffective."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from outside, and a Sand Shinobi agent rushed in.

"Didn't you see that I was in a meeting?"

Chiyo was furious and was about to scold the agent.

She detested being disturbed during meetings the most and wouldn't hesitate to unleash her wrath upon anyone who interrupted her.

"Master Chiyo! A ninja just delivered information that an intruder has infiltrated the rest station!"

The intelligence officer spoke hastily, fearing Chiyo's wrath. As expected!

"What? The rest station? How could someone infiltrate there?"

Upon hearing the news, Chiyo turned pale with shock and stood up abruptly.

Not only was she shocked, but everyone in the command post also couldn't believe their ears.

The rest station was located behind the Sand Shinobi's frontline troops, guarded by hundreds of Sand Shinobi in rotation. Yet, someone managed to sneak in?

"This can't be... If they wanted to infiltrate the rest station, they would have to pass through our troops..."

Ebizō mumbled, wearing a deeply skeptical expression. Sneaking into the Sand Shinobi's rest station was dozens, if not hundreds, of times more difficult than infiltrating Konoha's supply station.

The rest station was surrounded by an expansive desert, ensuring that any approaching enemies would be detected immediately.

Furthermore, the enemy would have to bypass the entire Sand Shinobi frontline. It seemed impossible.

"Could it be that the Ninja Hawk was mistaken?"

At that moment, one subordinate spoke in a low voice.

"Release your grandma's fart! It's impossible for shinobi to make a mistake in their observations!"

Chiyo cursed outright and decided to dispatch a few teams to investigate.

"The First and Second Brigades! Assemble four teams and proceed immediately to the rest station for investigation."

Having issued the order, Chiyo's expression turned grave.

Nothing could happen to the rest station.

The rest station not only served as a resting place but also as a supply station connecting the village and the frontline. It stockpiled a substantial amount of supplies. If it were destroyed, the entire frontline unit would be cut off from vital provisions.

Hastily, the four Sand Shinobi teams gathered and rushed toward the rest station.

An hour later, when the dozen or so Sand Shinobi arrived at the rest station, they were left dumbfounded.

"Is this the rest station? Have we come to the wrong place?"

"What's that smell... How did this turn into a cesspool?"

"The entire rest station is flooded, and the supplies..."

"Where are the people from the rest station?"

The group stood near the cesspool, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Before them, the rest station had vanished. In its place was a large cesspool emitting the stench of shit under the sun.

Grunts!

Suddenly, bubbles surfaced in the cesspool.

"There are people! There are still people in the cesspool!"

"Everyone, let's save them!"

"Superior!"
