Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

Swish, swish, swish...

The sound of sand shifting through the night was unmistakable.

On the watchtower, a patrolling ninja realized something was wrong. He barely had time to gasp, "What the"

Before-thud-a sharp iron spike pierced through his throat and heart.

The two bodies crumpled to the ground atop the tower, never having the chance to raise the alarm. In their fading eyes, the reflections of figures wearing the forehead protectors of the Sand Village gleamed ominously.

After swiftly dispatching the outpost guards, the weapons made from iron sand returned to the side of the Third Kazekage.

"Move forward," He commanded, flicking his cloak as he led a large group of Sand ninjas deeper into the Land of Fire.

'Xin, there's a large number of unidentified ninjas approaching from the front.' Ophis alerted.

Resting with his back against a tree, Xin snapped awake instantly.

The main reason he had taken the night shift was because he had Ophis. With Ophis's powerful sensory abilities, anyone approaching the camp would be detected, especially those harboring ill intentions.

Xin hadn't expected that after ten grueling days on the road, just as they were about to reach the Land of Rivers, they would run into something like this.

"Is the Sand Village planning to strike against the Land of Fire?"

The possibility sent a chill down Xin's spine, and he quickly roused Minato and Uchiha Mikoto.

"Shh!"

He signaled for silence, then whispered urgently. "Grab those officials and get out of here now. There's a large number of unidentified ninjas surrounding the camp. They might be enemy forces invading the Land of Fire."

What?!

Minato's eyes widened in shock, his sleepiness evaporating instantly. Uchiha Mikoto also jolted awake, and together, they sprinted toward the largest tent in the center of the camp.

Out here, in the middle of the Land of Fire, with a large, unidentified force of ninjas closing in, it didn't take a genius to figure out that they were in deep trouble.

The best course of action now was to grab the important people and get out, not stick around and try to fend off the enemy.

"Let's go!" Xin took the lead, bursting into the tent and knocking out the still-drowsy officials.

Slinging one over his shoulder, he bolted from the tent. As he ran, he made sure to leave a few parting "gifts" for the Sand ninjas.

Whether those gifts would actually blow up any unlucky targets depended on fate.

Not everyone was as unfortunate as Nawaki, who managed to get blown up right in front of Orochimaru on the battlefield.

"Something's wrong! The officials have been taken!"

The sudden actions of Xin and his team left the guards and attendants in shock.

What kind of rescue mission is this-no warning, just grabbing people and running?

"The officials have been kidnapped by the Konoha ninjas!"

The guards' shouts quickly spread panic through the camp, waking up those who had been sleeping peacefully.
