The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 906 Discovering the Trap

The next day.

Sunagakure Village.

Fengying's office.

"Lord Kazekage, Elder Kazuaki's men have already set off."

“They are well hidden; we cannot find out which group Elder Zhao is hiding in.”

Under the watchful eyes of the Sunagakure Anbu, Elder Kazuaki still set off.

However, Elder He Zhao had also made corresponding arrangements, using a mix of truth and deception to keep them from knowing exactly which team He Zhao was on.

Yecang glanced at the report in his hand:

"It's alright, Konoha can't possibly venture deep into our territory to meet them."

"Have the reconnaissance squad follow them at the furthest possible distance."

"Notify me first of any news, whether it's about Konoha or Black Zetsu."

"No one may lay a hand on me without my permission."

"Yes!"

Not long after the Dark Division left.

Juan knocked on the door and came in. She was fully equipped and had the sealing cloth scroll in hand.

"Teacher, I'm ready."

Yekura fastened her cloak and cape: "Let's go then."

"Yes!"

……

In the Land of Wind, the sun still blazes brightly during the day.

In other countries, it would already be winter at this time of year.

But in the desert, there is no winter during the day; the temperature remains above 30 degrees Celsius.

Although this temperature isn't low, it's relatively tolerable in the desert.

At this moment, a team was traveling rapidly across the desert.

They were all wearing scarves and cloaks, practically fully armed.

The leader was a burly man, nearly two meters tall, with arms thicker than an average person's head.

He had a small basket on his back, and a withered old man with a full head of white hair was sitting on it.

"Red Copper, where are we?"

Although the withered old man was thin, he was in good spirits, and even though his back was trembling, his voice was still steady.

Red Copper didn't stop walking, nor did he even take out a map to check, clearly indicating that he was very familiar with the route:

"Elder He Zhao, we are almost at the border of Lansha City."

"It will take another hour before we can go around from the side."

"The people from Konoha haven't arrived yet. Will they come?"

Kazuaki took out the Mito bottle from his person, took a sip, and then handed it to Akagane.

"Konoha will definitely come, and they will even do their best to ensure our safety."

"Because only when we are safe will more people from Sunagakure surrender to them."

"But Konoha is still wary of us. Otherwise, it would have been much safer if Minato Namikaze had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to pick us up."

"Now that we're completely out, we don't know anything about the village anymore."

"I have no idea how long it will take for Fengying to find us. This part of the journey is the most dangerous. Everyone, stay alert. If we get through this, we'll be safe!"

"Yes!"

As he finished speaking, Elder Zhao's voice rose, and the people behind him responded with a resounding roar.

In fact, every village has its own pacifist ninjas, and Sunagakure is no exception.

The people that He Zhao led were like this; for them, the most dangerous thing was a great war between ninja villages.

There was no other way; the mortality rate was too high.

When you do missions, the mortality rate is 10%. When you participate in combat, the mortality rate is 60%.

If Uchiha Chiyo were alive, the mortality rate would be ninety percent.

They generally did not think that Sunagakure could win the war, and some even thought that all of Sunagakure would be wiped out.

When they saw Konoha's solid offensive approach, which seemed designed to annex the Land of Wind, they began to have their own ideas.

Not to mention the fact that the land has been greened along the way, providing oases for many citizens of the Wind Kingdom to live in.

Fighting Konoha will result in a 90% chance of death; surrendering will allow you to have a better life.

Under these circumstances, Elder Hezhao's surrender was even suggested by his subordinates.

They knew, of course, that the trip was extremely dangerous, but they were still willing to take the risk.

Even the weaker members of that team volunteered to act as bait.

……

The Land of Wind.

The boundaries of Lansha City.

Karin, Sasuke, Gaara, Kimimaro, Haku, and Ying.

They split into five groups to meet Elder Zhao's five teams.

The visibility in the desert is very high, so in order not to slow each other down, they are actually very far apart.

The people of Konoha only know to go to fixed locations to wait for others; whether the other party is a team or whether they can even show up is their business.

Karin chose to meet up with the team in the middle.

Moreover, compared to other places, Karin is located closer to the heart of Sunagakure, which means that Karin is in greater danger.

In fact, Karin is the safest, after all, she is a sensory ninja and possesses the Kagura Mind's Eye, which is one of the best in the ninja world.

Karin didn't know when the other party would arrive, but she didn't neglect herself and set up the tent early.

Hiding inside the tent, she formed a hand seal with one hand, closed her eyes, and immediately activated Kagura's Mind's Eye.

Then she frowned and whispered a few words to Yakumo Kurama beside her.

Kurama Yakumo nodded slightly, then yawned and dozed off on the mat laid out beside him.

Karin was constantly forming hand seals, and then she touched the ground with her fingers to begin setting up a barrier underground.

From an angle unseen by others, Kurama Yakumo, piloting Ido, began flying towards the Konoha base.

If it's only Ido, then the area of ​​activity can't be too far from Kurama Yakumo.

However, when Yakumo Kurama's spirit uses the Spirit Transformation Technique to merge with his split soul, Ido, there is no such distance restriction.

The speed at which a soul can travel is said to be able to cover thousands of miles in an instant.

When it comes to transmitting messages, it's second only to space-time ninjutsu.

Not long after, Yakumo Kurama's soul flew back to Basha City.

She flew directly towards Tsunade, who was waiting for news in the conference room.

Tsunade felt a sudden weight on her body, and Kurama Yakumo's voice instantly appeared in her mind:

"Master's wife (Yakumo is Kato Dan's disciple, so Tsunade is her master's wife)"

"Karin used Kagura's Mind's Eye to discover that a White Zetsu was specifically following her. The others were far away from Karin, and Karin was unsure whether they were also being followed."

"But she suspects this operation might be a trap."

Tsunade was already prepared, so she immediately responded:

"I understand. The people who will be there to meet you are not far away. I will have them go there immediately."

"Then I'll head back now, Master's wife."

"Ah."

Tsunade felt a sense of lightness throughout her body, knowing that Yakumo's soul had already departed.

She immediately found an Uchiha clansman, none other than Uchiha Norihiko:

"Notify Itachi that Black Zetsu's men may be involved in this operation. Have them go and meet our team ahead of time."

"Yes!"

Uchiha Norihiko immediately summoned a crow, then turned his Sharingan and projected all his words into the crow's eyes.

And they painted the crow's feet red.

Then, with a thud, the crow was sent away.

As long as Itachi and the others on the other side summon crows, they will see the news very quickly.

It is also a very fast way to transmit messages.
