Chapter 67 Successful Advancement

Qianyu received information from the snake that a team of three was conducting reconnaissance about 40 meters away.

Qianyu moved over quietly and found the team of three.

One of the sensing ninjas was sensing with his eyes closed, while the other two were on guard around the sensing ninja.

"Iijima, how are you? Are you aware of the situation?"

"Yes, but something is very wrong."

"Something's wrong? What's wrong?"

"The rough number of Konoha ninjas is more than 200, but more than 100 of them give me a very strange feeling."

"Hiss! More than two hundred people? How many people did Konoha send to the Land of Hot Springs?"

"It seems that Konoha is planning to counterattack. After all, even Orochimaru, another one of the three ninjas, has come to the Land of Hot Springs."

"Why don't you retreat and report immediately?"

"Wait a little longer, let me sense it again. Those more than one hundred people are really strange."

Suddenly, a perception ninja named Iijima shouted, "Be careful! Someone is approaching us!"

"I didn't sense me until I was so close to you. Your level of perception ninja is not very good."

Qianyu appeared behind the three Cloud Ninjas, rapidly forming seals with his hands.

"Latent Shadow Snake Hand!"

Several snakes sprang out from Qianyu's sleeves and attacked the three Cloud Ninjas. Their sharp fangs bit the three people's necks tightly and injected venom.

The poison took effect, causing the bodies of the three Cloud Ninjas to become paralyzed.

Qianyu grabbed a kunai with his backhand and slit the throats of the three Cloud Ninjas cleanly and efficiently.

...

The Konoha ninjas continued to advance.

There were also some attacks during this period.

But Orochimaru and Jiraiya's summoning beasts acted in time and killed it.

Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, Orochimaru and Jiraiya will personally deal with them before the Cloud Ninjas discover anything unusual.

Chiba continued to be active around the team, reporting the information he obtained to Orochimaru through the summoning beast.

Orochimaru also intentionally let a few Cloud Ninjas go and wanted them to go back and report the news.

As the front line advanced further and further, the Cloud Ninjas' reconnaissance and harassment became more frequent.

But the situation was just as expected. The Cloud Ninja's action this time was only to investigate the situation of the Konoha Ninja, and there was no direct confrontation.

After all, more than 200 Konoha ninjas are advancing their front lines in a big way.

If the Cloud Ninjas want to start a war, they must gather at least three hundred ninjas.

If a war breaks out, hundreds of ninjas fighting each other would be like a small battle.

The Cloud Ninja is not prepared for a full-scale war with Konoha at all now, so it is naturally impossible for them to gather a large number of ninjas.

Therefore, the Cloud Ninja's actions are now quite conservative, focusing on reconnaissance and supplemented by harassment, in an attempt to find out the current situation of the Konoha Ninja.

As for Konoha's advancing front, the Cloud Ninja didn't care.

Previously, the Cloud Ninjas were able to defeat Jiraiya's approximately 150 ninjas and force them to retreat to the border. They were confident that they could defeat these two hundred ninjas and force them to retreat to the border again.

Because they were sure that after the Konoha ninjas completed their advance, they would definitely dispatch ninjas to act separately, and it would be impossible for them to stay together like this all the time.

After the Konoha ninjas split up and acted separately, it was the chance for the Cloud ninjas.

...

The Konoha ninjas were advancing very smoothly. Although the longer the distance, the slower the advance, but at least they were moving forward.

By this time it was getting dark.

Just after Qianyu assassinated a team of Kumo ninjas, a snake from the Ryuchi Cave found Qianyu.

"Master Chiba, Master Orochimaru asked you to reunite with the main force."

"I see."

After bringing the news to Qianyu, the snake from Longdi Cave turned into smoke and returned to Longdi Cave.

Qianyu wiped the ninja sword across the clean clothes of the corpse at his feet, wiped the blood off the ninja sword and put it back into the sheath.

Since Orochimaru asked him to join the main force, it means that the front line has been successfully advanced to ten kilometers.

Qianyu immediately rushed back to join the main force.

After Chiba returned to the main force, Orochimaru nodded to Chiba.

Qianyu made a great contribution to the smooth advancement of the front line.

Because Chiyu would pass on information from the front to him from time to time, Orochimaru could avoid places with many Kumo Ninjas and take a detour.

Orochimaru looked at the 'more than 200' ninjas in front of him and said: "Half of the ninjas continue to maintain their shadow clones and clones, and the remaining half of the ninjas will remove their shadow clones and clones, rest and recover their strength and chakra, and then they will be exchanged after two hours.

And remove the shadow clones and clone ninjas, and each of them will receive a ninja tool summoning scroll from me or Jiraiya, which contains steel wire and detonating talismans, and set traps around them!"

Half of the ninjas released their shadow clones and avatars, received scrolls from Orochimaru and Jiraiya, and began setting traps around them.

Qianyu also went to collect the scroll, but instead of setting the trap, he sat down by the tree to rest.

After all, he had accepted a solo mission and had been fighting all the way since the front line was advanced, so this kind of thing was not what he should do.

The purpose of receiving the scroll was that Qianyu had few detonating talismans on him, so he went to receive the scroll in order to replenish some.

Orochimaru also gave Chiyu special treatment and gave her three scrolls containing detonating tags.

There are one hundred detonating talismans in each scroll, and three scrolls mean three hundred detonating talismans.

After Orochimaru assigned the tasks, he walked up to Chiba and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chiba looked at Orochimaru and replied, "It's OK. It's not hard. The ninjas who came to investigate are not very strong. It's great that the plan can be implemented so smoothly."

Orochimaru nodded and said, "It should be a lot easier from now on. Although the Cloud Ninjas will find out something is wrong here sooner or later and will definitely gather their forces to attack us, they will not dare to engage in direct combat with us if they are not sure of our true situation.

After that, we will focus on setting traps, fighting and retreating, and join up with the large force coming to support from Konoha. You should move with the large force and rest for a while."

Qianyu nodded and said, "I understand, Teacher Orochimaru."

"Have a good rest, you may have to stay here for several days."

After saying this, Orochimaru turned and left to discuss the next deployment with Jiraiya.

After setting traps around, many tents were built around them.

After all, the show has to be complete. It is impossible for more than 200 ninjas to live in just a few tents.

The later the Cloud Ninjas discover something is wrong, the better it will be for them.

After the tents were set up, Qianyu picked one and moved in directly. He sat on the ground, leaning on the support to rest, waiting for the next day to come.
