Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Not to mention the Chunins and Genins on the battlefield, even some ordinary Chunins could not defeat him alone.

But once they gathered a group of elite jonin to encircle Hanzo, he was able to easily escape with his superb strength.

Then, relying on his own flexibility, he released poisonous fog on another battlefield.

Although through years of exploration, they have roughly figured out Hanzo's strength.

At least he knew that every time he released poisonous fog, it would take five minutes for his spiritual beast, the Salamander, to gather the poisonous fog in its mouth.

Moreover, before the war started, they also listened to Kagura's advice and prepared a lot of antidote potions in advance.

But after all, it is impossible for everyone to have one potion in their possession.

On the battlefield, many ninjas died because of Hanzo's existence.

That's why.

Gradually, while the three major countries were fighting each other, they all made the elimination of Hanzo their top priority.

After reading the information about Hanzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the information.

He rubbed his eyebrows with a slight headache.

To be honest, the layout and mobilization of war is not what he is good at.

At this moment, he couldn't help but miss his old friend, Danzo, who betrayed Konoha.

At least if he were still here, he could give better advice.

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to want to get rid of this thought from his mind.

He knew very well in his heart, given Danzo's character.

When they meet again, he will only be an enemy of Konoha.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze back to the map.

In fact, as time went on, this war also made the three major countries that were still fighting feel the pressure.

The continuous fighting has made all countries feel a sense of hardship both in terms of combat power and economy.

Especially after the Water Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom announced their withdrawal from the war, the remaining other countries all wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

After all, no one is a fool. If it continues for a few more years, the final winner may be the Water Kingdom or the Thunder Kingdom that has been recuperating.

So recently in the Land of Rain, Sarutobi Hiruzen could clearly feel that all countries had increased their deployment of military forces.

Including the decapitation operation of Hatake Sakumo this time, it was also a last resort to speed up the end of the war.

As the battle line advanced, the three major countries had almost deployed all their military forces into this small Rain Country.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that the day of the decisive battle might not be far away.

Just as he was looking at the map in front of him, carefully thinking about his next move, a jonin came to the outside of his tent.

Hearing the voice reporting something, he raised a brow and asked the jonin to come in.

The person who came in didn't waste any time. He just handed over a scroll and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly opened the scroll and looked at the information displayed on it.

As he read, his brows furrowed even more.

After reading the entire intelligence, he slowly put down the intelligence in his hand.

He looked at a certain location on the map and pondered, muttering:

“The problem is…

Is this true, or...

Is it a trap? "

Chapter 50 Encirclement and Decisive Battle

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was still racking his brains over the information that came from nowhere.

When Hatake Sakumo was leaving the tent, he met Jiraiya and three others.

As the war unfolded, Tsunade, who had originally stayed in the rear as medical support, came to the front line more than a year ago.

On the one hand, it is obviously more convenient to provide treatment on the front line, which can at least increase the survival rate of the wounded.

On the other hand, Tsunade herself is not weak, and she can more easily exert her combat power on the front line.

Perhaps because they considered that the three of them could cooperate better, after they arrived at the front line, they basically carried out the mission as a team of three.

Seeing Hatake Sakumo coming towards him, Jiraiya was the first to go forward.

He gently hit Hatake Sakumo's chest with the back of his hand and said:

"I heard that you sneaked into the base camp of the Sand Village this time and successfully carried out a beheading operation?

You are worthy of being the White Fang of Konoha. Apart from Kagura, you should be the ninja I admire the most.

If you keep going like this, maybe one day I will have to call you 'senior' when I see you again."

Faced with his companions' praise, Hatake Sakumo did not show any joy on his face.

He nodded silently, and said with a little disappointment:

"What a pity. We could have brought back at least two more people."

After hearing this, Jiraiya, who had been very excited, looked gloomy.

Years of war have allowed these people to witness many separations and deaths.

Although reason tells them that this is a common situation in war, they still cannot accept this reality every time a companion dies in their arms.

The atmosphere in the field fell silent for a while. After a long time, Orochimaru spoke again:

“Life is so fragile, and we cannot change it.

If we have to blame someone, we can only blame them for being too weak."

Unlike the gloomy expressions of Jiraiya and Tsunade, Orochimaru's expression seemed much calmer.

In response to Orochimaru's somewhat cold-blooded statement, Hatake Sakumo opened his mouth and wanted to say something in rebuttal.

But in the end he remained silent and did not speak.

Jiraiya and Tsunade were obviously already accustomed to Orochimaru's views and did not say anything.

When this mysterious silence lasted for a short while, Jiraiya forced a smile, patted Hatake Sakumo's shoulder and said:

“Okay, you just finished your mission, you must be tired.

Go back and have some rest.

That old man Sarutobi is not a good person, and he might assign you another task later."

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo also smiled, nodded and was about to say something.

A Chunin suddenly appeared in front of them.

He just nodded to Hatake Sakumo, and then said to Jiraiya and the other two:

“Master Jiraiya, Master Tsunade, Master Orochimaru.

Lord Hokage asks you to go to the camp. He has a mission to discuss with you."

When the three heard this, their expressions became serious.

Jiraiya curled his lips, tilted his head and said jokingly to Hatake Sakumo:

"I told you, that old man won't let anyone have time to spare."

After saying that, the three of them didn't waste any more time, waved to Hatake Sakumo, and walked towards the camp where Sarutobi Hiruzen was.

A few minutes later, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the three disciples in front of him and threw the information he had just received to them.

"You guys take a look first."

Hearing this, Jiraiya took the scroll and opened it so that all three of them could see it at the same time.

After reading the entire information, he put down the scroll in his hand, frowned and said:

"So, according to the intelligence, we have found the hiding place of Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village?"

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, pointed to a place and said:

"right here."

The three of them looked towards that place at the same time, and after a while, they all frowned at the same time.

Because if you look in the direction where Sarutobi Hiruzen's finger is pointing, there is a valley.

And unlike ordinary valleys, this is a valley that can be called a dead end.

Several towering mountains surround the area into an enclosed space.

Apart from a few entrances and exits, it is basically difficult to exit from anywhere else.

"trap?"

This thought came into the minds of the three people the first moment they saw the terrain.

You know, just looking at the terrain makes people feel that it is a dead place.

As an experienced Hanzo, there is no way he didn't know this.

Moreover, if many people go in there, such a valley terrain will undoubtedly be most suitable for Hanzo to release the poison.

Thinking of this, they all looked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen at the same time.

They didn't believe that their teacher would not realize such a simple trick.

Seeing the looks from his disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly:

"Yes, when I first received this information, I thought the same as you did, suspecting that this was a trap set by Hanzo.

but! "

As his two words appeared, Jiraiya and others knew that there must be other changes.
