Chapter 870 Burning Corpses
Sunagakure Village.
The yellow sand remains, and so does the poverty.
It was getting late, but Kazekage Yogura was still working.
"Kazekage-sama!"
The secret agent slammed the door open with a bang, his voice filled with panic.
"Elder Fuji's entire force has been captured by Konoha!"
"What!?" Ye Cang stood up abruptly, his expression a mixture of shock and confusion.
"What's going on!?"
"Wasn't everything fine yesterday?"
Although the formation presided over by Elder Fuji did not have high requirements for the level of ninjas, they were all genin and chunin.
But there are many elders, a total of two thousand.
The Sand Village can be defeated, but unless surrounded by a large number of people, it's impossible for not a single person to escape.
The Sand Village in the nearby cities had not received any bad news, and when the news arrived, they were all captured.
"What happened? Tell me in detail?" Maki, who was assisting Yecang with the documents in the office, asked.
"It's true. Konoha sent someone to our Basha City to inform us."
"The place where we previously set up the Wind Prison Sandstorm Formation has been used by Konoha to establish a base."
“One thousand of our two thousand men have already been killed, and their bodies are piled up outside that outpost, where they are being burned now.”
"The other thousand people were imprisoned there."
"Konoha is asking us to pay to ransom them."
Ye Cang was stunned upon hearing this: "Pay money to redeem?"
Maki immediately reminded him, "Kage-sama, Konoha is planning to use this to wear down Sunagakure."
It's not uncommon for two villages to go to war, capture hostages, and then pay ransom to secure their release.
But that was after the battle.
Demanding ransom at this time is definitely not a good thing.
They would definitely break the prisoners' hands and feet, or at the very least, cut off their fingers.
In this way, they would neither be able to go to the battlefield nor become a burden to Sunagakure.
If you redeem it, you will not only spend a lot of money, but you will also gain a lot of burdens.
If you don't redeem him, although it won't cost you money, it will cause dissatisfaction among the other Sand Village residents and greatly reduce their morale.
As for finding someone to rescue you, that would be even better.
Konoha's fighting strength is already higher than Sunagakure's, and they have the advantage of being well-rested. Let's see how Sunagakure fights them.
"Damn it!" Ye Cang slammed his hand on the table, making a dull thud.
Her tone was full of anger, but deep down she was bewildered.
Yecang no longer knew how to fight this battle.
She composed herself and decided to make one last effort.
"First, gather intelligence to see how many people from Konoha have crossed the Demon Desert."
"Strengthen the surrounding cities centered on Pasir Ris."
"Each city has been assigned personnel to guard against Konoha's infiltration."
"Continue producing large war machines!"
Yecang was completely clueless, like someone who was blind. He had no idea how many people from Konoha had come or which experts they were.
At that point, she had done everything she could.
Maki sighed inwardly. He knew that if the other villages didn't intervene, it was only a matter of time before Sunagakure was completely occupied.
However, he still bowed and quickly went to make arrangements; sitting idly by and waiting for death was not their style.
……
Frontline of the Land of Wind.
Rows of wooden houses have already sprung up.
While the others outside were still caught off guard by the Sand Village, they crossed the Demon Desert.
They arrived at the front lines and quickly set up a makeshift prison, locking up the surviving Sunagakure residents inside.
The people of Konoha found a sand pit and threw all the corpses from Sunagakure into it.
Then they lit a fire and started burning it.
The extreme weather in this desert means that things will spoil if left out for just a few hours.
If it is not burned, an epidemic can easily break out.
Then the trouble won't be with Sunagakure, but with the people of Konoha.
Burning it is the best and most convenient option.
With the rope tree there, there's no need to worry about not finding fuel.
If a large amount of wood is artificially grown, it will quickly turn yellow and dry out if its roots are cut off and artificial growth is continued.
It is an auxiliary material that is very suitable for combustion.
A raging fire had already broken out in the huge sand pit, and the people of Konoha only needed to throw the corpses into the pit from the edge.
The body would naturally slide down the edge of the sandpit.
It's very easy to use.
Although it was a corpse, it couldn't be burned in a short time.
The fact that Konoha asked Sunagakure for ransom was revealed by the village itself.
Some spies from other villages, as well as spies from the black market, secretly came to the vicinity to investigate.
The people from Konoha were only trying to put pressure on Sunagakure, so they ignored the body, simply dumped it in the sand pit, and returned to their base.
A white head rose from the burning sand pit.
It grabbed a severed hand and quickly sank down.
……
Mountain cemetery
With such a major event unfolding here, White Zetsu, who has been closely following the war between Konoha and Sunagakure, has already reported it to Black Zetsu.
Faced with this situation, Black Zetsu wanted to curb Konoha's expansion, but he was somewhat powerless to do so.
His fighting ability is not bad, but he can't do much by himself.
During the last Chunin Exams, Black Zetsu was almost killed by Itachi (Chiyo).
He didn't even know how many people from Konoha had come.
Konoha's detection methods are very advanced; even the White Zetsu he sent out didn't dare get too close, since White Zetsu are quite stupid.
"hello……"
At that moment, another white Zetsu emerged from the ground.
Hei Zetsu knew from that glib, smooth-talking voice that Fei was back.
Why are you back?
Black Zetsu knew that although this guy was unreliable, he must have something to ask him for.
Afei is much smarter than the other White Zetsu.
"Look what I brought you!" Afei put his hand behind his back and magically produced a blood-soaked dead man's hand.
Black Zetsu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
After waving his hands twice, Ah Fei said:
"How can you succeed if you don't even know how many people from Konoha are going this time, or what they're going to do?"
"These are corpses from the Sunagakure incineration pits. Use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to see if you can find any information."
Black Jue was greatly surprised: "You actually did something real."
He was genuinely surprised. Ah Fei had always been wandering around aimlessly before, but he never expected him to be reliable this time.
Ah Fei said with some distress:
"The ninja world is too peaceful now. Even if Konoha and Sunagakure go to war, Sunagakure will be completely on the defensive. It's not fun at all."
Black Zetsu understood White Zetsu's meaning, but he did not answer Afei's question.
He now also wants to slow down the expansion of Konoha.
"I'll go to the Edo Tensei first and see if I can find any information."
"Go to the front lines of the Land of Wind and see if you can find any valuable intelligence."
"There are many Hyuga clan members and sensory ninjas in Konoha. Be careful."
With that, Black Zetsu took the hand that Tobi had retrieved, sank into the ground, and used the Mayfly Technique to leave.
After thinking for a moment, Afei realized that he didn't seem to have anything else to do, so he obediently activated the Mayfly Technique and headed towards the Land of Wind.
