Chapter 51 Searching for Rain Ninja
After a night's rest, Orochimaru began to deploy his troops the next day.
Gather all the Hyuga family members and sensory ninjas.
He formed a formation of one jonin and three chuunins, and personally led a large number of Konoha ninjas to search the north of the camp.
Chuan Feng took the initiative to stay and guard the camp, mainly because a large-scale search would not serve as a training for the two little ones.
Instead, they will be held back by lack of experience. After all, the two young Chunins do not have strong perception abilities.
In front of the camp gate, Orochimaru wanted to take Rope Tree with him.
"Nongshu, do you want to join the teacher?"
"No need. I just want to teach Sheng Shu some more. He still has some shortcomings."
Chuan Feng quickly stopped him and pushed Rope Tree behind him, looking a little panicked, fearing that Orochimaru would take Rope Tree away directly.
If he died in front of Orochimaru again, he would just turn evil.
How am I going to explain this to Tsunade when I get back?
Sheng Shu looked at Chuan Feng curiously. It seemed that his elder brother had praised him for his good performance last night.
Why is it not enough again today?
However, he opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything, as the scene of being scolded before was still vivid in his mind.
"Okay, let's go."
Fortunately, Orochimaru did not insist on taking Rope Tree with him. After saying goodbye to Kawakaze, he set off with the large army.
Chuan Feng brought the two little ones back to the camp. Shuo Mao naturally didn't want to fall behind in such an exciting mission.
The Chunin who asked Orochimaru for a Hyuga family also joined the team and left.
"Teacher, do you think we can find Rain Ninja this time?"
Minato followed behind Kawakaze obediently and asked.
"We should be able to find the Rain Ninja, but I can't say how many we can destroy."
Chuan Feng recognized the level of Konoha's ninjas, but it would be difficult to wipe out the Rain Ninjas if they focused their efforts.
After all, the Rain Kingdom is their territory.
"Go and practice. I'll walk around the camp."
Chuan Feng held one head in each hand, touched the two heads, and drove the two little ones to practice.
He made a tour of the camp himself, which was considered as fulfilling his duty.
～～～～～Dividing line～～～～～～
Deep in the forest at the border of the Rain Country.
A Rain Ninja, his mask had fallen off and his clothes were torn and tattered.
There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and it looked like he had just been through a fierce battle.
He came to a big tree, turned into a puddle of water and seeped into the ground.
There was actually a huge underground cave underneath, with a spacious space that could accommodate nearly a thousand Rain Ninjas.
This is nearly one-third of the number of ninjas in the Rain Country.
From this it can be seen that Hanzo's war against the Three Kingdoms was not a spur of the moment decision, but was premeditated.
This underground cave could not be built in a short time. Hanzo had probably made the decision to start a war when several countries were passing through it.
As for the negotiation, it was just a means for him to delay time.
After the preparations were completed, Hanzo declared war without hesitation.
After the Rain Ninja entered the underground cave, someone immediately came to rescue the injured ninja.
"Zhiye, aren't you out on patrol?"
"I have something important to report to Lord Yamaru."
The Rain Ninja named Zhiye came to Yamaru with the help of his companions.
Zhiye knelt on one knee, and Yamaru's face could not be seen clearly because he was wearing a gas mask.
"Lord Yamaru, a large Konoha force has entered the forest to search extensively."
"The leading ninja is suspected to be Orochimaru, the disciple of the Third Hokage."
"The number of people between us and the enemy is huge, and there are only a few of us left outside now."
When he got excited, Zhiye coughed up some blood.
"Damn Konoha."
Miwan was so angry that he pounded the armrest of the chair with his fist and stood up.
The seat was broken into pieces.
"Continue to narrow the patrol area and don't confront Konoha's people head-on."
"Jiichiro, take your men out and set up more traps. Kill as many people as you can."
"We need eyes, be safe and don't die outside."
As soon as Yamaru finished speaking, a thin ninja took the order and led the way out.
"Wait until Hanzo-sama comes back to teach these Konoha ninjas a lesson."
After his men dispersed, Yamaru talked to himself, his trust and admiration for Hanzo overflowing in his words.
A group of elite Rain Ninjas led by Jiichiro came out of the underground cave.
At this time, the Konoha army had already cleared the surrounding area, and only one of the eighty Rain Ninjas escaped.
"Orochimaru-kun, it's been a long time since I last met a Rain Ninja."
Sakumo came to Orochimaru and the two talked.
"They must have a large gathering place, but unfortunately the Rain Ninja we just released was lost."
"Otherwise we can find the nest of these rats."
"Now that someone has gone back to report the incident, the chances of us finding it are slim."
"If there is no movement after searching for a while, we will retreat to the camp."
"Rest for a few days, make a big noise, and then we'll pretend to launch a large-scale attack."
Orochimaru's intuition on the battlefield was very accurate, but unfortunately that person's escape skills were amazing, so he lost him.
"Okay, I'll go check it out."
"Sakumo-kun, be careful."
Sakumo and Dai left the team and went on their own. Because of their skills and courage, Orochimaru did not try to stop them.
If he hadn't seen with his own eyes how powerful the Eight Gates Ninjutsu was, he would never have believed that a ninja dressed like that could be so strong.
I have never heard of the name Might Dai in all these years in Konoha.
If Shuomao and Dai were to encounter a predicament from which they could not escape, then the troops he led would probably not have a good ending.
"Brother Sakumo, what are you thinking about?"
Dai Kanshuomao was a little distracted during the action. Although he is not in any great danger now, he is still on the battlefield.
"I miss my wife."
Sakumo didn't think twice and blurted out the answer.
In this environment, he missed Naxue and the baby in her belly more and more.
"Haha, I miss my wife too."
Dai laughed as he listened. The two men who had left their homes missed their families on the battlefield.
"Wait until the child is born so that they can practice together."
"The sooner the war ends, the more time we can go home."
Shuo Mao regained his clarity of mind and planned to let their children practice together in the future.
This is Chunchun causing trouble for Kakashi in advance. I don’t know if Kakashi will blame his father.
He really couldn't handle Kai's youthful enthusiasm!
"Yeah, I hope this war will end soon."
Dai agreed, and the two continued their patrol.
I don’t know whether they are lucky or this Rain Ninja is unlucky.
The Rain Ninja, who was setting up a large number of explosive tags, had no time to react when his throat was cut by Sakumo's short sword.
He covered his neck and fell down with a whimper.
"It seems that the Rain Ninja has received the news. We need to go back and alert the main force."
Sakumo figured out the connection and put the detonating tag away.
"Okay, go back."
Dai kicked the body of the Rain Ninja aside, and he and Sakumo cleaned it up.
These are all strategic materials.
Wait for the two to return to Orochimaru and report their findings.
Orochimaru acted decisively and ordered his men to return to camp to avoid unnecessary losses.
After all, horses can stumble and people can fail. Once you are blown up by piles of explosive talisman traps, even a senior ninja will die.
"Shrink the formation and return to camp."
Following Orochimaru's order, the scattered ninjas of Konoha began to gather together and then returned along the same route.
The Rain Ninja's trap was doomed to fail, but the spies managed to survive.
This is exactly what Orochimaru wants to see.
