Ultimately, the mission objective was simply to reach an obscure little country.
The village of Yugakure, situated within this region, is even unable to fully undertake missions for its own country.
What kind of waves can a country that has been weak for a long time stir up with the cooperation of several other forces?
I just never expected that...
Before obtaining the most accurate intelligence, the higher-ups underestimated the hidden strength and determination of this force.
Fortunately, our own Cloud Village suffered no losses in this operation.
This is probably because the other party is afraid of their own Kage and the retaliation from Kumogakure, so they dare not provoke them easily.
Ultimately, the power contained within the Land of Iron cannot compare to that of the Five Great Ninja Villages; otherwise, the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or pattern of the world) would not be based on the Five Great Nations.
"Captain Salui, the team has begun an orderly evacuation."
"About the Land of Iron, ugh,"
As if recalling something that made her heart tremble,
The ninja who came to report suddenly turned pale and couldn't help but retch.
Seeing this, Salui did not show much anger, but subtly moved his body to cover up his companion's disheveled state.
At the same time, a gloomy glint emanated from his eyes.
It should be noted that the man in front of him was no ordinary cat or dog, but a Cloud Village elite who had experienced life-and-death trials!
Now, I can even feel palpitations and fear because of a certain scene I see.
【There,】
What exactly happened in the Land of Iron?
He really wanted to know,
Yet, I felt inexplicably afraid to uncover the truth.
"...The changes in the Land of Iron have also been communicated to those returning to the village."
Only now did the Cloud Village ninja who had traveled to the northern border of the Land of Hot Water finally finish speaking.
"understood."
"Control your emotions and don't let them affect others."
"You are, after all, a Chunin from Kumogakure."
"Sarui said calmly."
"Besides,"
"Even if there really is a monster in the Land of Hot Springs that eats people without spitting out the bones, we have the protection of the Raikage. Don't scare yourselves."
After a slight pause, he added another sentence.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Lord Raikage's name, the panicked scout's fear and dread were instantly soothed, and he straightened up and responded loudly.
"Ah."
After letting out a soft hum, Salui also withdrew his gaze from the Land of Hot Springs.
But as night gradually fell, the city nestled under the setting sun resembled a wild beast poised to pounce, giving him a strange sense of unease.
【but,】
This operation is merely a retaliation for your unreasonable and indiscriminate purges.
I hope you understand.
Don't push your luck!
After giving the wide-open gates of the human city one last fierce look, Salui immediately retreated cautiously along the path he had come from.
.........
.........
The rain drizzled down, and low-hanging dark clouds obscured the sky, making the whole world seem to be immersed in immense oppression.
This is Amegakure, the Village of Rain in the Land of Rain.
A powerful ninja village that once single-handedly waged war against three neighboring nations.
but,
Recently, the atmosphere here has been unusually tense. Not only are there guards every three steps and sentries every five steps in the core area, but even the outer border is patrolled 24 hours a day by ninjas in special ninja outfits.
This situation complements the oppressive environment of this region.
"...That concludes the message from the Land of Hot Springs."
"Currently, the Land of Iron has not refuted this battle report, and the samurai commander must be in a real bind because of it."
In the dimly lit, square pavilion, a ninja wearing a headband symbolizing Amegakure was kneeling on the ground, recounting a message sent back from the outside world.
At the four corners of this pavilion sat eight powerful beings, each with their aura concealed.
They stood motionless like wooden figures, wary of everything around them. Apart from the faint breathing, everything else seemed deathly silent.
"Is that so? Over a thousand elite warriors were wiped out overnight."
"Was it that person who made the move, or one of their subordinates?"
"No,"
"If it were that person who intervened, the situation wouldn't be so calm."
"However, such a move is worth the risk."
In the middle of the pavilion was a compartment made up of four lattice doors, from which the earlier whispers had come.
Those seated there no longer seemed to mind their subordinates, who were also in the same room.
"Then, proceed with the orders I previously gave."
Hanzo the Salamander's voice suddenly became a bit louder.
He had been preparing to carry out his previously formulated plan for some time, but a secret letter stopped him from taking action.
I advise you not to get too close to the Land of Hot Springs, lest you bring trouble upon yourself.
This is an unsigned letter.
However, with his experience, Hanzo the Salamander naturally recognized its identity at a glance.
His approach was to remain silent about it.
They neither notified the person in question nor responded to the person behind the letter, but simply maintained their restrained attitude of recent years and made final preparations for the upcoming operation.
He had to carefully consider whether the emerging Land of Hot Springs could serve as a safe haven for his followers.
Even if this hesitation today is exposed in the future, Hanzo the Salamander will not regret it.
He had to be responsible for the followers who had always been with him!
This is his only obsession at the moment!
Based on the intelligence we have obtained so far, that land can indeed serve as a safe haven for the Rain Village ninja.
Although, the feat of destroying a fully armed samurai legion in one night is nothing special.
At his peak, the moment he stepped into the Land of Iron, tens of thousands of elite warriors fled in panic, like wheat fields blown by the wind.
However, this is ultimately only the power of one person.
What the Land of Hot Water is currently displaying is the power of that subordinate.
Such power is something that Amegakure, after abandoning itself, could hardly achieve.
Do not,
Perhaps, he almost had that golden age within his grasp.
But in the end, they missed each other because of a difference in their minds.
That despicable old man Danzo!
Whenever he recalls the past, it feels as if countless ants and insects are frantically crawling and ravenously devouring inside Hanzo's body, making him unable to move freely.
It took him a long time to calm down from his regret and anger.
As for whether the situation in the Land of Hot Springs will become more difficult in the future, it is unlikely.
Because, faced with such a sudden and encircling attack, if that person didn't do something to deter them, then they would be doing a disservice to the surname they inherited.
The Uchiha clan, an evil clan.
Sometimes, it truly deserves the title!
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me?"
"Go and carry it out now."
As Hanzo of the Salamander gradually gathered his thoughts, he naturally noticed his subordinate who was still kneeling on the floor, and his voice carried a hint of anger.
The intense, cascading aura caused the candlelight inside the pavilion to flicker.
"No, no, Lord Hanzo."
The ninja who was being questioned hurriedly raised his eyes, his face filled with anxiety.
"It's because everyone is determined to live and die with Lord Hanzo, and no one wants to leave this land."
"Those traitors who have abandoned Amegakure, let your subordinates purge them for you!!"
He roared, proclaiming, speaking the words that resonated in the hearts of every Rain Village ninja.
In the past,
They followed their masters and launched three battles in succession without fear.
right now,
And yet they're a bunch of traitors who have turned their backs on us?
