Ulterior Motives

Three days later, more than five thousand Konoha Ninjas' army escorted the three thousand prisoners back to the Land of Fire.

According to reason, the difference in numbers between the two sides was not very big, and the Ninja prisoners were difficult to manage.

However, the leader of Konoha's army was Minato, who was known as "Golden Flash". Moreover, during this time, Konoha also sent many Chakra clothes for the middle and upper Ninjas to wear. If the latter could not use the chakra in his body, just the lower Ninja among the prisoners were useless.

As for the 2nd and 8th Tailed, they were sealed by Konoha and sent back to Konoha by Flying Thunder God.

Under such heavy insurance, this group of Cloud Ninja captives, which could be said to be huge in the history of the Ninja world, did not cause any waves.

Yuki had placed great trust in this group of Cloud Ninja captives.

One had to know that the Land of Fire in his hands would undoubtedly develop in all aspects.

During this period, large-scale construction projects are naturally indispensable.

The physical strength of a ninja was much stronger than an ordinary person's. With the addition of such a group of soldiers, the construction process of the Land of Fire would naturally be greatly accelerated.

Repairing roads, digging pits, building bridges, building houses, reclamation, and so on.

Yuki had already planned out the work for the upcoming batch of Cloud Ninja prisoners.

After all, he would never agree to spend his life in prison for nothing.

Even if it was a captive, he would have to use his own hands to exchange for daily living expenses!

At that time, calling Cloud Ninja a captive might be inappropriate.

Yuki patted his head and thought,

How about we call it the Yuki Construction Corps?

...

They didn't know that their next miserable fate was very weak.

It wasn't that Konoha was harsh on them.

There was no such thing.

Under the instruction of Yuki, every one of the Cloud Ninjas was a precious resource for labour in the future. The Konoha Ninjas would not deliberately make things difficult unless they were looking for a fight.

The reason why the Cloud Ninjas were like this was because of their psychological effect.

Especially when they found that they were far away from the Thunder Land and their resistance was ineffective, their mood became more and more decadent.

On the contrary, as they got closer and closer to Konoha, the smiles on the faces of Konoha Ninjas became more and more brilliant.

This was the difference between winning and losing.

As a former member, Minato was not immersed in joy at this time but was still carefully arranging big and small things on the way.

The three thousand Cloud Ninjas were very important, and even if he had returned to the Fire Land, he had to be more cautious.

After all, the Human Pillar was very important, and he could use the Flying Thunder God to take it back to Konoha.

But these three thousand people, even if he was tired, he could not take them back.

One must know that the longer the transmission distance, the more people he brought and the more chakra he consumed.

With this time, he might as well escort him all the way back.

In any case, it would only take two or three days.

As for letting Yuki, which also had the same Flying Thunder God, do it.

Hehe.

Not to mention that the latter was busy at the moment.

Besides, if the Hokage had to deal with such a small matter personally, then what was the point of having his subordinates?

Because of this, under Minato's meticulous actions, although the Konoha Ninjas were in a good mood, they were not relaxed.

The movement caused by the army of nearly ten thousand people was huge.

Ordinary people naturally trembled and quickly left after seeing it.

And those with ulterior motives, after noticing that Konoha's Ninja Army was still serious, could only sigh and let go of their thoughts.

Of course, this did not include the true experts.

Right now, as he paced back and forth around the Konoha army, two people were restless.

...

On a rather high hill, he hid in the Hiruko specially built for this operation, and the scorpion, who was only wearing an ordinary black robe outside, looked down thoughtfully. Like ants, the Konoha army marched densely.

It was not a coincidence that he met the latter, but after learning that Konoha had won against the Cloud Ninjas, he gathered a lot of corpses from the Blood Limit Realm.

As the founder of the puppet, Sasori had always been looking for the corpses of the Ninjas who had the Blood Limit Realm.

However, in the past, all the ninjas who had the blood limit were the precious forces of the big Ninja Village, and they were extremely secretive about their whereabouts.

Despite limited intelligence, although he was strong, he did not dare to force his way into the village.

Therefore, in the past few years, the Ninja corpses that he had harvested were few.

Now, he had a good chance.

Through the eyes of the machine that could be modified from far and near, Sasori recorded all the organizational structures of the Konoha army below. Finally, he looked at the captives, that were obviously different from Konoha's Ninjas.

Konoha's side lacked manpower, which required a lot of strength to guard the three thousand Cloud Ninjas.

In this way, the guards responsible for guarding the bodies were undoubtedly much weaker.

This was a good opportunity!

Sasori looked at the sky and decided to wait until midnight before moving.

There was no exception.

At this time, on the other side of Sasori, wearing a high collar coat, with long white hair, and red eyes, Hiruko looked at the army not far away with a complicated gaze.

"Konoha!"

His mouth was full of emotion, and his mind quickly sank into memories.

However, these memories were not very good for him.

Soon, Jean exhaled coldly and said, "Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, humph! Forget about the dead! Sooner or later, I will make you open your eyes wide and see how powerful the person you looked down on was!"

After saying that, he looked at his hands.

Although the technique of ghost sprouting that I rely on most has not been developed yet, it has reached a critical time.

Right now, he also needed an experiment to help him verify it.

It just so happened that the Mist Release was one of the five Blood Limit Realms he was going to devour in his plan, and among the spoils of war that Konoha collected were the Mist Ninjas' corpses.

In addition, there were also other good corpses of the Blood Limit, which were just enough to catch all of them in one fell swoop.

In this way, he could satisfy his own needs and use this to attack Konoha, killing two birds with one stone.

Kacha! Kacha!

In an instant, dozens of mosquito-sized insects broke through the gap between their fingers, silently moving towards the direction of Konoha's army.

"Go! Go! Bring me all of Konoha's information!" Hiruko's eyes were full of fire.

At the same time, his broken fingers quickly returned to normal under the accumulation of flesh buds.

Although the Ghost root technique had not been developed, it also gave Hiruko a lot of extraordinary abilities.

For example, a powerful body regeneration and a fusion of his most powerful fusion beasts.

This was the reason why he dared to fight under the nose of Konoha.

...

Midnight.

In the recently established camp of Konoha, apart from a few patrolling guards, most of the Konoha Ninjas and Cloud Ninjas had fallen asleep.

It was also at this time that Sasori and Hiruko, who did not know each other, acted at the same time.

Performing - Human Body - Technique!

Before the group of Konoha Ninjas guarding the outermost perimeter could react, they were controlled by extremely fine chakra threads and could no longer move. They could only watch as a short and bloated strange person slowly walked into the camp.

It was Sasori.

He was naturally very relaxed to deal with a few ordinary Konoha Ninjas.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Sasori did not want to kill these people at this time. He just used his Chakra thread to make them unable to speak or move for the next few hours. Outsiders would see that they were still doing their duty and continued to move in the direction they had set.

In the middle of the journey, he did not forget to use the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as a Konoha Ninja who could walk in the camp.

The situation after that was just as he expected; the power of Konoha to guard the corpses was much weaker than usual.

With his ability, he naturally arrived in front of the tent where Konoha was responsible for storing the corpses.

However, he was fast, and the speed at which he shouted was even faster.

The latter directly rode a flying beast and silently flew from the sky, arriving above the target tent without any obstruction.

Although he was very careful when he landed, he still alerted the guardian of Konoha, who was responsible for guarding him.

Fortunately, he had deliberately set up many small but extremely poisonous contract beasts here. After a swift sneak attack, the Konoha Ninjas were all knocked down before they could react.

To not attract attention from the smell of blood, Hiruko did not go up to kill them. He only entered the tent to collect the corpses.

Not long after he entered the tent, Sasori finally arrived.

When he saw a row of fallen Konoha Ninjas, he guessed that someone had arrived first, and he was instantly furious.

Which idiot is this?

His methods are so rough!

Doesn't he know that there are ninjas in Konoha's camp?

Without hesitation, Sasori, afraid of the long night, immediately rushed into the tent. After discovering that there was someone, it did not say anything else. It operated the scorpion tail on the back of the crimson stream and stabbed it.

He had just found and was about to put away the scroll with the word "Lan" in front of him, but his face suddenly changed when he felt the attack on his back.

He quickly turned around and stretched out his hands at the same time. In an instant, strange purple snakes stretched out from his arms and quickly tore at the person.

Sasori swung his tail without looking, and dozens of purple snakes immediately broke at the waist.

Then, he opened his mouth.

Crimson Flowing · Needle Eight Waves!

Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

Countless poisonous needles and poisonous thorns shot out from his mouth and shot forward at a rapid speed.

Hiruko reacted in time and placed a giant beast's hand before him.

The poison needles and thorns hit the scorpion, but the effect was unexpected.

Seeing this, Sasori narrowed its eyes and continued to move. However, it saw the senior shout in a low voice: "Stop! If we continue to fight, Konoha will find that there will be no harvest then. The corpse here is so big; you and I can divide it equally."

Hearing this, Sasori paused, looked around, and retracted its scorpion tail.

Although he hated this guy who sneaked in without any sense of beauty.

However, the other party was no ordinary trash. If they really wanted to fight, it would take too much time.

Since that was the case, they would split the corpse scroll equally according to the other party's instructions.

As for the rest.

Naturally, they would kill the other party and reap all of the rewards!

At this moment, the first to compromise was also looking at this person who suddenly came out of the corner of his eyes full of killing intent. He was obviously a puppet master.

If not for the fact that the occasion was wrong with his character, he would have already treated his small body as food for the fusion beasts.

Just wait!

After leaving Konoha's camp, you will have good fruit to eat!
