Chapter 128: Rain Country Gathering
After a pleasant lunch, the personnel for the expedition were determined.
Sakumo set out on the journey with a vanguard consisting of members of each family.
Chuan Feng and Tsunade saw them off all the way.
At the entrance of the town, there is no more human habitation ahead of the Fire Nation.
"Brother, have a safe trip."
Tsunade offered her blessings, and Sakumo was the first to take on any dangerous mission.
"Don't worry, big brother can run away even if he can't win."
Chuan Feng didn't look worried at all, Sakumo, who could fly Thunder God, was indeed as he said.
After he finished speaking, Tsunade glared at him. This guy's words were really unlucky.
"No need to send it off, I'm leaving."
Sakumo treats Kawanakade like air. This younger brother is like a dog that can't spit out ivory.
"Waiting for your good news."
Tsunade finished speaking and Sakumo nodded at her before leading the team to the Land of Rain.
"Let's go back."
Chuan Feng watched Sakumo's figure disappear from his sight and called Tsunade to leave.
"Okay, let's prepare early."
Tsunade turned and walked in front. They would launch a large-scale attack once Sakumo had gained a foothold in the Land of Rain.
The bottom line is that we must not allow the war to start within the borders of the Fire Nation.
Sakumo led his troops on a rapid march into the Land of Rain.
The Rain Kingdom was devastated by the civil war and is now a country where people can come and go as they please.
If it weren't for its special geographical location, it would have been swallowed up by other countries long ago.
The rain was still falling, and Shuomao slowed down his pace in the deep forest.
Sensing chakra fluctuations ahead.
"Lord Sakumo is from the Iwagakure."
A Hyuga clan member had already seen the situation ahead clearly, even though the Iwa Ninja was hiding very well.
"To live."
Sakumo whispered an order to keep moving forward, and several Konoha ninjas quietly left the team.
"Ah~"
After a moment, three Iwashi Ninjas were brought in front of Sakumo.
"Have your troops entered the Rain Country?"
Sakumo looked at the Iwagakure ninjas with cold eyes, and there was no emotion in his voice.
"Humph, don't even think about getting any information from us."
These three Iwagakure ninjas are still tough guys, so Sakumo was too lazy to waste his time on them after hearing what they said.
"Hayato, I leave it to you."
Yamanaka Hayato also followed Sakumo this time in order to obtain more detailed information.
"Yes, Master Sakumo."
Hayato walked out from behind Sakumo and went to the shadows with a few Iwashinin.
Then there was a loud scream, but Sakumo's expression remained unchanged.
After a long time, the screams became weaker and weaker until they disappeared.
Hayato came back from the shadows alone, with a happy look on his face, as he had obtained the intelligence.
"Sakumo-sama, the Iwagakure Village has not yet reached the Land of Rain."
"Oonoki has returned to the village from the Land of Birds to rest and has only sent out spies for now."
"The Sand Village has set up camp at the border of the Wind Country."
It's no wonder that Hayato was so happy after interrogating a village's worth of ninjas and getting information from both families.
"This is just the ones we caught, there are definitely more that have not been discovered."
"I don't think our whereabouts will be hidden for long."
"Find a good place to set up camp and notify Tsunade to come as soon as possible."
Shuomao thought clearly about the current situation. As long as he arrived before the two villages of Yansha, he would have a certain advantage.
"Yes, Master Sakumo."
Hayato nodded and waved to call an intelligence officer over. After whispering a few words, the man quickly left.
"Set off."
After this little episode, Sakumo led everyone on their way forward.
Two days later, we found a suitable location where we could attack or defend.
Sakumo settled down and waited for Tsunade to arrive.
"Damn, it rains three hundred days a year in this place, right?"
Chuan Feng walked in the rain wearing a raincoat, feeling a little helpless.
"My sister pissed you off, why are you blaming the rain?"
Sheng Shu said quietly beside him.
Just now, Kawakaze was punched by Tsunade because of his humiliation, and he had no place to vent his anger.
"You've been talking a lot lately!"
Chuan Feng looked at Sheng Shu with a fierce look in his eyes, which made him a little scared.
"Sister, my brother-in-law bullied me."
Shengshu has also learned his lesson and always curries favor with others when he has problems.
"Come here and don't be mad at him."
Tsunade walked in front to let Nawaki pass, and gave Kawakaze a look to let him experience it himself.
This is all you are capable of, and you still have the nerve to bully a child?
"Teacher, you really went a little too far."
After Minato finished speaking, he used Flying Thunder God and came to Nawaki, and Kawakaze didn't have time to trouble him.
"You little bastard, you're making me so mad."
As the saying goes, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. Chuan Feng also understood how Sakumo felt because he was angry with him.
The Konoha army was currently on their way to meet up with Sakumo.
Not even a single spy was found along the way, and no one dared to touch their tiger's whiskers.
"Master Chuanfeng's disciples are very interesting."
The Uchiha clan leader followed behind Chuan Feng and said something with a smile.
"Little kid, you're spoiled."
Chuan Feng said this with a smile on his face, not looking angry at all.
"The weather in this Rain Country is really uncomfortable."
The Uchiha clan is proficient in fire jutsu, so they will inevitably be affected in such an environment.
For ninjas like Nawaki, their water-based jutsu will be strengthened.
"We won't have to get wet in the rain when we get to the campsite."
"I hope it's a sunny day when the fight starts."
Chuan Feng also knew the concerns of the Uchiha clan leader. Sometimes, the slightest mistake could mean the end of life.
"Hopefully."
The Uchiha clan leader did not speak again after he finished speaking.
The Iwagakure Village has also received news that a large Konoha force has entered the Land of Rain.
Ōnoki, along with Lao Zi and his troops, rushed to the Land of Rain without stopping.
Han can barely use his Tailed Beast Coat now, and his strength has been greatly affected, so he is left in the village to look after the house.
"Sir, why do you have to start a war?"
"My Iwagakure Village can stay out of this."
Lao Zi wore purple clothes and a breastplate, his hair was tied into a small ponytail at the back, and he had a big beard.
The first question he asked was a headache for the Third Tsuchikage.
No wonder Ōnoki didn't like taking him on the expedition, there was nothing he could do this time.
"You are a ninja, just follow orders, understand?"
Ohnoki's lazy explanation was not convincing to a man as stubborn as he was.
"Do you know how many people will die in a war?"
“These are all your people.”
"Our village is doing pretty well now."
Lao Zi still insisted on his opinion. In his eyes, war was the most vicious thing.
The purpose of becoming a Jinchūriki is to prevent the village from being threatened, rather than going to the battlefield as a tool of war.
"Okay, stop talking and do your own thing."
Oonoki didn't want to say anything more to him and flew higher.
Lao Zi looked up at his figure with a look of dissatisfaction. No wonder in the original work he left the Iwagakure Village and became a wandering monk.
"Master Zi, the Third Master is also helpless."
An Iwagakure stepped forward and tried to act as a peacemaker.
"What do you mean he has no choice? He is just too ambitious."
"Is Iwagakure not doing well right now?"
Lao Zi got furious when he heard this, and his stubbornness was speechless.
"You're right."
The Rock Ninja helplessly stepped back, holding his forehead with his hands, and never meddled in other people's affairs again.
The main reason is that he can't afford to offend Lao Zi, the stubborn guy.
