Chapter 88 : Sand Shinobi: In Poor , But I’m Fierce
The Land of Wind, Sunagakure!
Baki, Rasa, and Karura were the key figures leading the Sand Shinobi forces.
They commanded three separate armies, each advancing toward the Land of Fire from different directions. The Land of Rivers was merely a stepping stone in their conquest.
Back in Sunagakure, the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, and Ebizō orchestrated the strategy from behind the scenes.
The Third Kazekage was well aware that both the Rock Shinobi of Iwagakure and the Cloud Shinobi of Kumogakure had withdrawn from the war. However, that didn't mean Sunagakure had to follow suit.
News from the frontlines confirmed that the Third Raikage had single-handedly annihilated a massive Iwagakure force. Moreover, the battle between Kumogakure and Konohagakure had also ended in failure for the Cloud Shinobi.
Both Iwagakure and Kumogakure had suffered severe losses and were forced to retreat.
But Sunagakure remained undeterred.
Tsunade, the legendary medical ninja, was absent from the battlefield.
Chiyo was confident in her poison—no one but Tsunade could counter it.
Furthermore, the previous One-Tail Jinchūriki had mysteriously died years ago, and word had spread across the ninja world that Sunagakure no longer possessed a tailed beast.
