"Go check on Fujitora. I hope his team can stop Tsunade." Ebizo sighed.
Since the end of the Second Great Ninja War, Tsunade has rarely been active on the front lines.
Even in the field of medical ninjas, Tsunade is no longer as proactive as she once was.
But the Sannin from the Second Great Ninja War were still young, and now many years have passed, it is foreseeable that their strength has definitely increased.
"We have no choice but to go there first." Chiyo frowned and nodded.
If the news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance cannot be blocked, then it can only be said that it is God's will.
"Is there any news about Sasori?"
Ebizo looked at Chiyo, who was wearing a headscarf.
Chiyo is over half a century old. Her son and daughter-in-law haf both died young, leaving only her beloved grandson.
She would fulfill any request from Sasori, and even those secret puppet techniques that required merit were taught to him without reservation.
These were all his sister's family affairs, and Ebizo had never said much.
When he was young, he was mainly responsible for intelligence and espionage work.
He was very good at judging people and could sense that Sasori had been acting strangely since losing his parents.
Sasori chose to leave the village at the critical moment of the Third Kazekage's disappearance.
Coupled with the reaction of the ninja from Konoha, the result was actually very clear.
Sasori has probably betrayed the village.
"After this incident, I will no longer interfere in the affairs of Sunagakure." Chiyo said after a long while.
This was her way of taking responsibility for Sasori's actions.
If Sasori had eally used the poisoning techniques and puppet techniques she taught him to do something to the Third Kazekage, she would resign from her current position.
"..."
A trace of lament flashed in Ebizo's turbid eyes.
He turned to catch up with the team that had already gone to meet Fujitora.
Chiyo looked at the top of the hill, where there were still two deep pits left by Kiyoshi's leap.
The eternal wind continued to blow, and the sand it stirred up completely covered these traces.
...
'The chakra consumption rate is much greater than I thought.' Kiyoshi thought to himself.
At this moment, he was high in the sky, and the Suna ninjas chasing below looked as small as ants.
The power of ninjutsu decreases with distance, and the attacking wind release ninjutsu were no different from a gentle breeze at such a distance.
Kiyoshi carefully controlled the vortex around him, trying to keep the chakra consumption stable.
"You have acquired the trait: [Bird (Green)]."
[Bird (Green)]
[Requirement: Stay at an altitude of more than 300 meters for no less than five minutes.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: You break away from the earth and want to soar in the sky. The natural energy wandering in the atmosphere quickly passes through your body. The affinity for natural energy increases by 20% on the original basis.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
"Natural energy?"
Kiyoshi's heart moved, and the stable streamlined whirlwind trembled.
He quickly stabilized the chakra output and continued to control it precisely.
Kiyoshi hadn't expected to get a trait that would increase his affinity to natural energy.
His actions...
Saying it was flying, was a bit of a stretch. It would be more reasonable to say it was gliding.
It's just that with the existence of wind chakra, Kiyoshi can reduce the speed of descent and smoothly pass a long distance.
Sarada's three-tomoe Sharingan can see the "viruses" in the air.
Although Kiyoshi only has a two-tomoe Sharingan, it is actually no different from a three-tomoe Sharingan.
Therefore, he can also observe the rising airflow, allowing him to continuously borrow strength from it.
With the help of these, he can complete the operation that seems whimsical to others.
'For learning Sage Mode, there have always been only three paths. Orochimaru later created a shortcut, Curse Seal.' Kiyoshi calmly analyzed.
The 20% increase in natural energy affinity will definitely make it easier for him to learn the Sage Mode.
Sage Mode can be used in the later stages.
No matter what ninjutsu it is, as long as it is mixed with Senjutsu chakra, it's power will increase by several times.
With Kiyoshi's current strength, he will not be easily killed even if a war breaks out.
Then he has to consider the future.
In addition to the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the Uchiha Clan Massacre Night, there is an even greater crisis awaiting Kiyoshi.
The Otsutsuki invasion.
The reason why Kaguya was so panicked, constantly letting the God Tree continue to extract the natural energy from the earth, and creating White Zetsu, was because she was afraid of people from outside the sky.
When the Otsutsuki invade a planet, they arrive in a group of two.
The main reason is to let one of them act as a living sacrifice.
The guardian feeds the Ten-Tails cub as a living sacrifice, and the guardian is responsible for guarding the God Tree until it blooms and bears fruit.
Unfortunately, Kaguya was supposed to be the guardian and Isshiki was supposed to be the one being guarded.
Kaguya, who didn't want to be eaten by the Ten-Tails, chose to attack Isshiki.
But sneak attacks are not a long-term solution after all.
After the Otsutsuki clan finds out, they will come to deal with Kaguya, the traitor.
Then, they will re-capture the tailed beasts, synthesize the Ten-Tails, plant the God Tree, and suck up the chakra and natural energy of the entire planet.
Kiyoshi will naturally not be able to avoid these Otsutsuki from outside the sky.
With his existence, it is hard to say whether Boruto will be born. So, he will have to depend on himself if he wants to survive.
'I have to continue to contact Orochimaru.'
Kiyoshi suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart.
With the trait panel and his Kekkei genkai, through continuous efforts, he may not be weaker than those Otsutsukis.
Sooner or later, he will be able to turn Kaguya into a tool for him to improve his pupil power.
"The direction is... over there."
Kiyoshi took out a compass to identify the direction and quickly glided towards the border of the Land of Fire.
A compass is one of the items that ninjas must bring when entering the desert. It can prevent ninjas from getting lost.
From a distance, it looked like he was really flying.
The speed at which Kiyoshi was flying was much faster than when he was traveling on foot.
...
A few days later
Border of the Land of Fire
The ninjas responsible for guarding discovered that the sand and dust were rising in the distance, which was very strange.
"Nobuhiko, I'm counting on you."
A Konoha reconnaissance ninja said to Nobuhiko.
The Hyuga clan, who possess the Byakugan, do not need to learn any sensory and reconnaissance ninjutsu. They only need to train their innate abilities.
"Okay."
Blue veins protruded from the corners of Nobuhiko's eyes. He used the Byakugan's ability to see what was happening two kilometers away.
"It's Tsunade-sama, she's fighting Suna ninjas!"
The scene in front of him gave Nobuhiko a big jump.
Is Sunagakure going to start a war with Konoha?
That's Tsunade, one of the Sannin!
And a giant in the field of Konoha's medical department, an absolutely scarce talent.
If something happens to Tsunade, the village will not sit idly by.
"We must go and support her!"
The information in Nobuhiko's words made everyone look at each other.
They immediately chose to enter the border of the Land of Wind to provide support.
