#143 - Chapter 143 Earth and Thunder
Land of Earth, Hidden Stone Village.
In the enormous village surrounded by rocky mountains, a ninja wearing a Hidden Stone Village forehead protector moved swiftly between the rocks.
Soon, a sharp, stone-made building, resembling a bamboo shoot, appeared before him, with a large character for 'Earth' written on it.
This was the highest Earth Shadow Building of the Hidden Stone Village.
After being announced by the guard at the entrance, the ninja went directly to the top floor of the Earth Shadow Building, knocked on the door, and immediately knelt on one knee, holding a scroll above his head.
"Earth Shadow Lord, news from the Daimyo, the Hidden Sand Village has agreed!"
Before him, beside a huge desk, Huangtu, the son of the Third Earth Shadow, took the scroll and handed it to the Third Earth Shadow, Onoki, who, despite his small stature, was respected by everyone, and also his father.
Onoki took the scroll, glanced at it, and let out a cold laugh.
Seeing this, Huangtu signaled the ninja to leave with his eyes, then asked his father.
"Father, how is the plan progressing?"
"Proceeding as I envisioned."
Even so, Onoki's face did not show much relief, but instead, he coldly ordered Huangtu.
"Next, it's up to you, Huangtu. Only you can do this."
Huangtu's honest face also showed a rare solemn expression as he said.
"I understand, but Father, is it really necessary? At the cost of the village's ninjas' lives!"
Onoki's face was incomparably cold.
"Of course, it's necessary. What does the remnant of the Vortex Clan represent? You should understand without me having to say it."
Huangtu's expression hardened. He certainly knew what his father was talking about. His father had been dissatisfied with the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, for a long time.
"In addition to that, you must thoroughly investigate the information about the Hidden Sand Village this time, especially the Hidden Sand Village's Green Miracle. Is it related to Wood Style? Remember, at all costs!"
"Yes!"
Seeing his father's serious expression, Huangtu naturally did not dare to disobey.
"What about the Hidden Cloud Village?"
Onoki snorted coldly.
"Don't worry, they will also cooperate with you. At least for now, our goals are the same..."

Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village
In a building towering above the clouds.
Ei, the Third Lightning Shadow, was also holding a secret meeting with a gloomy face.
Only two people participated in this meeting.
One was his son, the future Fourth Lightning Shadow, and the other was his confidant: Dodai.
The Third Lightning Shadow handed the scroll he had just received to Dodai, and then propped his head with one hand and said in a deep voice.
"Dodai, the mission to the Hidden Sand Village this time is entrusted to you!"
Dodai was mentally prepared, and said with cold eyes and no emotion.
"I understand, Lightning Shadow Lord. Even if I have to risk my life, I will complete this mission."
"Don't worry."
The Third Lightning Shadow revealed wisdom that did not match his reckless personality.
"I admit that this kid has impressed me in the past six months, but the Hidden Sand Village is still too weak."
Dodai fell into contemplation. Although he also felt that the Lightning Shadow Lord was right, when he recalled the actions of that Wind Shadow, which always exceeded everyone's expectations in the past six months, he still felt uneasy. But as a subordinate, when the boss made a decision, he could only obey orders, especially at such a special moment.
At this time, the future Fourth Lightning Shadow asked.
"Old man, what about the Hidden Leaf Village? If we let them catch their breath, then everything we have done before will be useless..."
Upon hearing his son's words, the Third Lightning Shadow said very irritably.
"What if they catch their breath? Do you have a way? One Minato Namikaze makes all of us helpless!"
Hearing his old man's words, the future Fourth Lightning Shadow also gritted his teeth helplessly, his face full of resentment.
"Damn it... What kind of monsters are these guys from the Hidden Leaf Village!"
In the half-year of war, as the Hidden Cloud AB team, he fully realized what kind of monster this man was in his battles with Minato Namikaze. It can only be said that he was simply unreasonably strong.
In the face of the opponent's bizarre space-time ninjutsu and signless ninjutsu, numbers were meaningless. Even jonin would be instantly killed. This was why the Hidden Leaf Village could still persist to this day despite the attacks of two ninja villages.
It can be said that as long as they can't defeat Minato Namikaze, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village will not be able to completely defeat the Hidden Leaf Village.
Thinking of this, the future Fourth Lightning Shadow suddenly thought of something and asked.
"How strong is that Wind Shadow? Isn't he as difficult to deal with as Minato Namikaze!"
This question stunned both the Lightning Shadow and Dodai present. This was really a question they had unanimously overlooked.
Dodai thought for a while and said.
"This Wind Shadow of the Hidden Sand Village has taken action relatively few times, so there is not much information. According to the information collected so far, this Wind Shadow is famous for his Magnet Release. In addition, there is also the Sand Control Technique obtained by the Second Wind Shadow through research on Shukaku."
"Magnet Release and Sand Control Technique? Then it doesn't seem that difficult to deal with!"
The future Fourth Lightning Shadow thought for a while and said.
After all, compared to that bizarre space-time ninjutsu, Magnet Release and Sand Control Technique do seem easier to deal with.
Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village also has its own Magnet Release ninjas.
Dodai shook his head and warned.
"It's not that simple. Although this Wind Shadow has taken action few times, many powerful guys have suffered losses at his hands. Minato Namikaze, who is now giving us a headache, and Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, have both suffered losses at his hands. Danzo, the elder of the Hidden Leaf Village, had his Sharingan and Wood Style cells taken away. In addition, according to recent news, the monster Moryo from the myths and legends of the Land of Demons was also destroyed by this Wind Shadow."
The future Fourth Lightning Shadow, who was originally relatively relaxed, was also stunned when he heard this.
"This guy actually made a man like Minato Namikaze suffer?"
"Yes, although the specific process is unknown, one thing is certain, Minato Namikaze was the first to compromise in that battle."
Speaking of this, Dodai's face was also a little ugly.
"However, this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that this young Wind Shadow is even more outstanding in terms of tactics. Whether it is the plan to attack the Land of Fire or the great defeat of the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Rivers, it shows that this Wind Shadow is absolutely not to be underestimated, otherwise, it will be like the Hidden Leaf Village."
Dodai also hoped to take this opportunity to remind the Lightning Shadow Lord.
The Third Lightning Shadow naturally understood.
However, compared to strategy, he believed more in absolute power.
"Okay, don't scare yourself. Remember, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is useless. In a few years, when Bee and Yugito have grown up, even Minato Namikaze will not be a concern. Therefore, we must not allow the Hidden Sand Village to successfully create a Jinchuriki. Okay, Dodai, go and prepare."
Seeing that the Lightning Shadow Lord had made up his mind, Dodai could not say anything and could only go down to prepare.
Just like that, three days later, the Hidden Sand Village suddenly became lively...
