At this moment, Kushina was like a dutiful wife, seeing her husband off on his long journey.

Looking at Kushina's face, which was as red as an apple, Zhang Ye really wanted to pounce on her and take a bite, but he didn't have much time left.

He could only use one more head pat before disappearing from Kushina's sight.

Zhang Ye said to Hyuga Hinamine, "Let's go!"

"learn!"

The two of them quickly ran towards the 'genitals' area.

At this moment, Sarutobi Shinnosuke led a twelve-person "Yin" team, standing at the entrance of the "Yin" department, waiting for Zhang Ye.

"I'm sorry I'm late!"

Zhang Ye approached Sarutobi Shinnosuke and said...

"Okay, it's good that you're here. Let's get ready to go now!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke gave the order to everyone.

"Yes!"

"Let's split into teams first!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke said to everyone, "From today onwards, you will be divided into three teams of four people each!"

"First team: Crimson Dragon, Thorn Peak, White Fox, Ghost Hand, Captain: Crimson Dragon!"

"Second team..."

……

Looking at the three teammates assigned to him, Zhang Ye couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Hyuga Hyumine, the White Fox, was originally known as the strongest in the 'Yin' branch, but he has fallen to second place since Zhang Ye arrived.

Kazama Taiga, the first person to provoke him, now follows Zhang Ye's lead. He is not the strongest, but he is not weak either. He is proficient in shuriken techniques and has a lot of experience in reconnaissance and search.

Ghost Hand is a girl named Asana Cang, one of the few girls among the 'Yin'. She is skilled in using poison and is also quite good at medical ninjutsu.

"Alright, let's go!"

At Sarutobi Shinnosuke's command, the three squads sped off, heading northwest towards Konoha Village.

Our destination is the Land of Rain!

On the way, the four of them talked separately, learning about each other's characteristics and abilities in order to coordinate their actions in the battle later.

They had been on the march for four hours, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke noticed that some people were physically exhausted, so he ordered everyone to rest.

Looking at the three squads in front of him, Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know how many of the twelve members of these three squads would survive the battle.

Zhang Ye and the captains of the other two teams were handed over to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who then gave each of them three scrolls.

"This is the mission your team will undertake after entering the Land of Rain. You have thirty seconds!"

Thirty seconds later, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "Destroy!"

A burst of flame erupted from the burner in Zhang Ye's hand, instantly igniting the scroll within and reducing it to ashes.

The other two also destroyed the scroll using different methods, and then the three returned to their own group.

"Captain Red Dragon, what did Captain Night Cat want to talk to you about?" Kazama Taiga asked curiously.

"It's an assassination mission: assassinate a close associate of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain!" Zhang Ye said calmly.

"What!?" Asana Cang exclaimed in surprise, then noticed that everyone's eyes were on her. She quickly lowered her voice, "Captain, are you sure it's about assassinating the daimyo's favorite?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Although the Land of Rain is not a large country, the daimyo is protected by at least three or four people with the strength of a special jonin or even a jonin.

"Are we capable of completing this assassination mission?"

Even Hyuga Hyumine couldn't help but ask.

"He's just a favorite of the daimyo. This mission is just a stepping stone on our team's path to growth!"

Chapter 54 The Cooperation of the Three

After entering the Land of Rain, Sarutobi Shinnosuke no longer led them; instead, he went alone to Konoha's stronghold in the Land of Rain to report back.

The remaining three teams went on to carry out their own tasks.

Zhang Ye and his team's mission was not to assassinate Amemura Ryūfū, a favorite of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, but to monitor him and await the arrival of the assassination squad.

Intelligence indicates that he is accompanied by two special Jonin and two Chunin-level ninjas, while Amemura Ryūfū's strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary person.

However, the daimyo of the Land of Rain has no real power. The one who leads the Land of Rain is Hanzo the Salamander, and Amemura Ryūfū is not only a favorite of the daimyo but also Hanzo the Salamander's special agent to relay orders in the Land of Rain.

Although he is just a puppet, he has information on the distribution of many data points in the Land of Rain. If we can obtain information about the ninja strongholds in the Land of Rain from him, it will be more advantageous for them in their subsequent battles.

That's why Zhang Ye made the last-minute decision to abandon the surveillance mission and kill him to obtain intelligence!

Although Zhang Ye concealed himself well along the way, he aroused suspicion in Hyuga Himine.

He suddenly appeared beside Zhang Ye and used the hand signals used by the Konoha Anbu.

"Are you sure our mission is to assassinate a close confidant of the daimyo?"

"Why don't you believe me?"

Zhang Ye also responded in sign language.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I've never believed it. Although we are among the strongest of our generation, we are weak on the battlefield. Assassination missions could never be our mission!"

Upon seeing Hinata Hime's explanation, Zhang Ye's lips curled up slightly, and he did not refute it.

"What exactly is our mission? Why are you so determined to assassinate him?"

"I'm not willing to stand there like an idiot waiting, and I don't believe you're that kind of person!" Zhang Ye said with a smile, looking at Hyuga Himine.

Hyuga Hyuga comes from the prestigious Hyuga clan, which has no history of such success. Zhang Ye doesn't believe that such a good opportunity is presented to him, and he won't take advantage of it.

Hyuga Himine stared at Zhang Ye in silence for a long time.

"Alright, you win. I'll do this mission!"

"That's good!"

After he finished talking with Zhang Ye, the four of them sped up again.

As darkness fell, Zhang Ye said to the three people behind him, "We've traveled for so long, it's time to rest!"

"Roger that!"

The four landed directly next to a large tree, and Kazama Taiga and Asana Sou set up some small traps around it.

Hyuga Hine observed his surroundings with his Byakugan, then nodded to Zhang Ye.

The four sat down together. Instead of lighting a campfire, they ate dry rations and drank cold water under the dim moonlight.

The only ones in Konoha who dare to eat cooked food while on a mission are probably the Three Evils of Konoha.

It's not that Zhang Ye and the others didn't dare to imitate the Three Ninjas, but rather that their strength was far from reaching that level. If they also had the strength of the Three Ninjas, eating cooked food would be the simplest thing to do!

"Thorn Peak, Ghost Hand, you two guard the first half of the night, while White Fox and I will take over the second half. We'll set off at three in the morning!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, Zhang Ye and Hyuga Rifeng leaned against a big tree, forming a triangle with the night watchmen, including Cifeng and the others. This way, if anything unexpected happened, they could easily provide support, and they wouldn't be easily killed by the enemy if they were grouped together.

Zhang Ye and Hinata Hime leaned against a large tree and began to rest. Of course, neither of them was in a deep sleep, since their bodies, which had just woken up, would not be able to react quickly in case of an accident.

As darkness fell, Kazama Taiga cautiously watched his surroundings, not missing a single sound.

Asana Cang, on the other hand, was playing with a kunai covered in venom in her hand. The venom on it was her proudest creation; she had once used it to kill dozens of bandits in one go during a mission.

rustle!!

Zhang Ye, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes, and a green light flashed in his eyes.

Hyuga Himine immediately opened his Byakugan, searching for any rustling sounds he had just heard.

The names of the three people immediately came to Zhang Ye's attention.

Akira Kosaka, Taishi Akiyama, and Sa Nagai.

These three individuals belong to the Land of Wind, and all three have reached the level of elite Chunin, just one step away from becoming Jonin.

However, their status bar displays red text.

Seriously injured!!

It seems they had been in a battle before, otherwise they wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries.

Zhang Ye pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Hyuga Hime, who was also looking at Zhang Ye and nodded.

At that moment, Kazama Taiga and Asana Sō also arrived beside Zhang Ye and the others, using gestures to tell them the situation.

Zhang Ye made a gesture.

Kazama Taiga and Asana Sou were stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The four of them stealthily crept up to a distance not far from the three of them.

The three Sand Ninja from the Land of Wind supported each other.

The one on the left is named Akira Kosaka. He has lost an arm and has many wounds on his body. He has a white gauze wrapped around his back, which looks like a puppet, since many of the Sand Ninja are proficient in puppetry.

In the middle is Akiyama Taishi, whose hands are both severed and whose ankles have deep wounds with severed ligaments.

On the right is Yong Jinsai. He is not missing any arms or legs, but his face is pale, with several purple paint marks on his face and dried bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. His left arm is around Akiyama Taishi, and his right arm is supporting his body with a huge fan.

Zhang Ye made a gesture to Asana Cang, Hinata Hinamine, and Kazama Taiga.

brush! !

Asana Cang took the lead, throwing three shuriken coated with deadly poison at the three slowly advancing Sand Ninja. Each shuriken flashed with a purple light as it pierced straight towards them.

Seeing this, Kazama Taiga formed hand seals, and a hurricane spewed from his mouth, increasing the speed of the three shuriken to an even higher level.

Hyuga Hyumine followed behind the three shuriken and charged straight at the three Sand Ninja.

The three heavily injured Sand Ninja naturally sensed the danger, but their injuries prevented them from making any difficult evasive maneuvers.
