Chapter 49: Lightning War! The Attack of Rain Hidden!

Another month passed quickly.

At the entrance of the Hidden Rain Village, three thousand Rain Ninjas have gathered and are on standby. None of these ninjas are Genin, all of them are elite ninjas above the Chunin level.

"Let's go now. Half of you will follow me to the Rain and Wind Border, and the other half will follow Heiji and Kamida to the Rain and Fire Border. Launch the raid on time at 9pm on September 18th, and make sure to eliminate all their border guarding ninjas!" Hanzo appeared in front of everyone in an instant and gave orders loudly.

Then he turned to the Salamanders Kamada and Heiji who were following behind him and said, "Tell everyone not to save chakra, and recover after destroying all the Konoha ninjas. Don't let any news leak out. Contact us via Salamanders at any time if there is any progress!"

"Please rest assured, sir!" Heiji and Kamida, who are Hanzo's right-hand men, responded loudly.

"Disperse!" With Hanzo's order, a large number of elite Rain Ninjas quickly left in two different directions.

Near the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, Salamander Kamatsu and Heiji were ready, and behind them were 1,500 Rain Ninjas following them.

However, the border garrison troops on Konoha's side had no idea that danger was about to come, and the order from the village was just for them to remain as they were.

As the current leader of the ninja world and the victor of the First Ninja World War, Konoha interprets Hanzo's recent actions as a way to show off military power.

Although the ninja world is currently shrouded in the shadow of war, Konoha is ready to go to war with the other major ninja villages at any time and has also strengthened the defenses at the borders of the major countries. However, they never thought that the tiny country of Amegakure would dare to take the lead in stroking Konoha's tiger whiskers and become the first ninja village to take action.

The time came to 8 o'clock, and with the launch of three flares, the Rain Village ninjas launched a surprise attack on the border garrison of the Fire Country on time.

"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"

Hundreds of Chunin-level Rain Ninjas formed hand seals together, creating a terrifying pool of water. The terrifying chakra fluctuations spread throughout the rain and fire border.

"Oh no, enemy attack!" Konoha finally realized that something was wrong. The ninja on duty quickly shouted to warn and prepared to send a signal that they were under enemy attack.

But it was too late, the next wave of attacks from the Rain Ninja had already arrived.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

This is an A-level water jutsu launched by all the jonin of the Rain Ninja together. Moreover, the most important characteristic of water jutsu is that the power of the jutsu can be increased with the increase of the amount of water.

With the water wave already laid in advance, and the joint efforts of many senior ninjas, the A-level waterfall technique exploded with a power far exceeding that of ordinary S-level ninjutsu.

The huge waves crossed the Rain and Fire border at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards the Konoha ninjas, creating a scene on land that was comparable to a tsunami.

Dense groups of Rain Ninjas followed closely behind the huge waves they created, quickly stepping on the water and advancing rapidly into the territory of the Fire Country.

The Konoha garrison stationed on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, under the tactical guidance of the two young masters in Konoha Village, were almost completely unprepared for the sudden attack by Amegakure.

Under the sneak attack of the Rain Ninja, which could be called a saturation attack, the entire group was wiped out. The Konoha garrison troops in the direction of the rain and fire border were taken away by the Rain Ninjas in one wave.

"Chunnin, clean up the battlefield quickly. Perception ninjas, increase your perception. Make sure no one escapes!" Salamander Kamada ordered loudly. "The rest of you, quickly restore your chakra. I will contact Hanzo-sama to ask for the next step."

"Psychic art!"

Shen Da used hand seals to summon a small salamander, quickly wrote down their situation on a scroll and put it into the salamander's mouth.

Not long after, Shen Da felt the change in the contract and used the psychic technique to summon the Salamander again and took out the scroll from its mouth.

After opening the scroll, Kamida quickly glanced over the orders given by Hanzo, and then called over Heiji, who was meditating nearby to restore his chakra.

"Lord Hanzo's latest order is to divide the troops into two parts, with you and me leading each team respectively, and quickly occupy all the towns in the Land of Fire close to our border!" Kamida said as he handed the scroll in his hand to Heiji.

After Heiji took the scroll and confirmed it, he said to Shenda, "Very good, then we will start the action in five minutes and let them recover their chakra!"

At this time, the border of the Wind Country was in the same situation as that of the Fire Country. Although the Third Kazekage Tessa had increased his vigilance and strengthened the border defense because of Hanzo's previous actions, it was Hanzo who took action himself, and the border garrison of Sunagakure was wiped out by the Rain Ninja in just twenty minutes.

On September 34th, the 9th year of Kirigakure, all towns in the Wind Country and the Fire Country facing the border of the Rain Country had fallen. It took less than a day since the surprise attack was launched at 19 pm on the 18th.

Hanzo used his practical actions and successful experience to teach the entire ninja world a lesson called blitzkrieg.
