He first glanced at the girl wearing black-rimmed glasses next to the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

The information obtained from the corpse revealed that the girl was Yakushi Nonou.

They exchanged codes; they were the two parties making contact, no problem.

Nightlight tossed a scroll to Watermelon Pufferfish Demon and said:

"To make a long story short, Suigetsu Hozuki, here is a battle plan. Five battalions from Konoha will use their twin swords, Hiramekarei, to ambush your Kirigakure's sword-grabbing squad."

Ye Guang tampered with this battle plan.

Suigetsu Hozuki took the scroll, but instead of opening it, he asked in confusion:

"I know what benefits I've received, but what about yours? I don't believe that the Root of Konoha would be so kind as to simply help me?"

"Your success is our benefit," Ye Guang said.

"All you need to know is that the ambush was orchestrated by a captain of the Anbu, who was trying to sow discord between you and the Third Hokage."

He fantasized about becoming the deputy head of the Dark Division and creating divisions within it.

For the sake of Konoha, the adults had to resort to some extraordinary measures.

Too much talk leads to mistakes. After taking one last look at Yakushi Nonou, Ye Guang vanished in an instant.

Suigetsu Hozuki turned to look at Yakushi Nonou and said:

"Is the internal strife in your Konoha really this severe? A captain of the Anbu was sold off just like that, along with five other Anbu squads."

I thought only Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) implemented the brutal, blood-soaked policy of the Blood Mist Village.

Yakushi Nonou said:

“The village ninjas who harbor malicious intentions cause more harm to the village than the enemies.”

If it were an ordinary Konoha ninja, the Anbu would be able to take care of them.

If they are ANBU ninjas, then they will have to rely on other villages.

Everything is for Konoha.

"Yes, yes, everything is for Konoha, and I am doing it for Konoha too."

Suigetsu Hobutsu opened the scroll and saw the battle plan, ambush location, and ambush time, all clearly outlined.

He put away the scroll, turned around, and disappeared into the sea.

Yakushi Nonou then headed in another direction.

More than ten minutes later, Yakushi Nonou suddenly stopped and stood on the beach.

The Root ninja from before was now standing opposite her.

After glancing at Yakushi Nonou's Mist Ninja headband, Yoru said, "My lord needs information on the Mist Ninja Sword-Seizing Squad."

If Nightlight could obtain information about the knife-seizing team, he would have an intelligence advantage.

In my previous life, I was always shrouded in a thick fog and had limited access to information.

Yakushi Nonou said, "I don't know if Suigetsu Hobuki will change the Kirigakure's plans after he gets the battle plan."

Their original plan was for Hozuki Muratsuki, Kurihara Kushimaru, Suigetsu Hozuki, and four other Jonin—a total of seven ninja squads—to complete the mission of stealing the sword.

"Seven brigades, I understand."

The light vanished in an instant, unwilling to have much contact with Yakushi Nonou, afraid of being discovered.

Suigetsu Hozuki returned to a ship adrift at sea.

There were six Jonin in the largest cabin, making seven in total, including him.

The Jonin in charge of the sword-seizing mission, Hozuki Murazuki, carrying the great sword Samehada, asked:

"Suikazan Fuguki, aren't you the Jonin in charge of intelligence? Have you gotten any new information?"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon said:

"My partner in Konoha has sent me intelligence that five battalions from Konoha will ambush us on a hillside the night after tomorrow."

"A collaborator?" Hozuki Murazuki asked.

"You have collaborators in Konoha? What level of collaborator could obtain such high-level information?"

An operation involving five battalions—this kind of thing must have been spearheaded by at least Konoha's vice commander.

"You don't need to worry about where I'll find collaborators," said the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

"The intelligence report says that starting tomorrow morning, Mist Ninja will begin to die one after another from your Hozuki clan's secret technique, the Water Gun Technique."

The corpses of these Mist Ninja will form a line that extends all the way to the ambush site.

If the corpse of the Mist Ninja who died from the Water Gun Technique is found tomorrow, the authenticity of the information will be proven.

My suggestion is to verify the intelligence during the day tomorrow, and then go to the hillside mentioned in the intelligence to set up an ambush at night.

We'll wait quietly for the five Konoha squads to enter our encirclement the day after tomorrow.

The other Jonin's eyes lit up.

If we could ambush the five battalions of Konoha, wouldn't it be easy to take down the enemy?

Hozuki Muratsuki said, "Suizayama Fuguki, explain yourself why you obtained such valuable information!"

"You're just an ordinary Jonin. I don't know why you were appointed as the Jonin in charge of the intelligence department by Master Yuan. Are you deliberately lying to us?"

Suigetsu Hozuki, a towering figure whose head nearly touched the deck, twisted his obese neck, staring at Hozuki Muratsuki, then discreetly glanced at the hilt of the greatsword Samehada, and said:

"Hozuki Muratsuki, besides the ninja sword left behind by the Second Mizukage, what else do you have?"

If you don't understand intelligence gathering, then don't make a fuss about it.

I don't need to explain my intelligence sources to you; I must protect my channels.

If this gets leaked, all the spies in the entire network will be dead, you idiot.

The two sides were at war with each other.

The hilt of Samehada's sword was bent, as if it couldn't wait for Hozuki Muratsuki to draw his sword and kill this orange-haired fat man.

Kushimaru Kurihara shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"

Konoha extracted the Water Gun Secret Technique from Hozuki Ryougetsu. Tomorrow, they can verify whether there are any Kirigakure corpses killed by the Water Gun, which will confirm the authenticity of the information.

Is there any need to argue?

Reclaiming the Twin-Sword Flounder is the top priority.

"Hozuki Village Light, isn't it shameful enough that your Hozuki clan lost the Twin Swords Hiramekarei?"

Hozuki Muratsuki wanted to explode, but he had to suppress his temper for the sake of Hiramekarei.

If we don't find the corpse of the Mist Ninja killed by the Water Gun Technique tomorrow, we'll settle the score with Suigetsu Fuguki.

Chapter 185 Counter-Ambush

On the morning of the second day, Hozuki Muratsuki, Kurishari Kushimaru, and Suigetsu Hobuki appeared together on a beach.

There were two bodies on the beach.

There was a hole in the head of each corpse, and judging by the size of the hole, it was pierced by the water cannon technique.

Kushimaru Kurihara, holding a long sword and sewing needle, inserted the needle into a small hole in the head of the Mist Ninja corpse, pulling out its brain matter.

"Yes, that's right, it's a fresh corpse from this morning."

Suigetsu Hobuki considered himself a pure villain, but felt somewhat inferior to Kurishari Kushimaru.

How can a person be so cruel and perverted?

When encountering an enemy, Kushimaru Kurihara would not kill them immediately. Instead, he would use a long sword, a needle, and wire to sew the corpse to a tree or a rock, and then patiently watch the enemy slowly turn into a corpse while convulsing.

The Land of Water, the name Kurihara Kushimaru can send shivers down the spines of any nobleman.

Kushimaru Kurishari appeared in a certain town, and the Daimyo of the Land of Water had to send an inquiry letter to Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) about it.

Suigetsu Hozuki said, "Hozuki Muratsuki, do you have anything else to say? If not, go to the hillside mentioned in the intelligence report and ambush us there tonight."

Hozuki Muragetsu said again, "This is only one place. We've found at least three. We must rule out all the possibilities."

By noon, Hozuki Mura found four corpses of Kirigakure ninja and said nothing more.

Suigetsu Hozuki said, "Leave two battalions to play with Copper Fox and make him think we've taken the bait. The other battalions should hurry to Konoha's ambush site and ambush them instead."

Deep in the woods.

Aries said, "Captain, a large number of enemies have landed on the beach!"

Ye Guang breathed a long sigh of relief; they were almost out of enough Mist Ninja prisoners.

The Mist Ninja completely believed the scroll, thinking that Konoha's five battalions would arrive at the mountain to ambush them the next day.

So they set out today, a day early to ambush the enemy.

What they didn't know was that everything in that intelligence scroll was fake.

He and Captain Yellow Dog agreed that Captain Yellow Dog would temporarily change the battle plan and set off ahead of schedule.

The Yellow Dog Captain will strictly monitor everyone participating in the battle to prevent anyone from tipping them off in advance.

Ye Guang felt it was too difficult; he had to fight the Mist Ninja to the death while also being wary of enemies within Konoha.

midnight.

Five ninja squads arrived at the foot of a hill.

Suigetsu Hozuki took out an intelligence scroll and said to the simple map on it:

"The Konoha Anbu squad ambushed us on the back of the hillside."

Kushimaru Kurihara, lead the main force to the other side of the hill to set traps. Make sure to wipe out the Konoha Anbu force in one fell swoop.

Two Konoha squads ambushed us on the north side of the hill, while two Mist Ninja squads went to the mountains on the north side of the hill to plant explosive tags.

Two Uchiha squadrons are lying in ambush on the south side of the hill. Hozuki Murazuki, your abilities are suited to dealing with the Uchiha clan. The two of us will lead the team to set the traps.

Suigetsu Hozuki held the intelligence scroll tightly, forbidding anyone else from seeing it. As a result, when assigning tasks, Suigetsu Hozuki became the commander of this knife-seizing mission.

Despite his resentment, Hozuki Muratsuki had no choice but to obey Suigetsu Hobuki's arrangements.

The Mist Ninja dispersed.

On the other side of the hillside, the mountaintop blocked the view.

The Hyuga ninja from the Hippo Squadron suddenly raised his hand.

Shadowy figures appeared on the mountaintop; the Mist Ninja had arrived!

The mission of the Copper Fox Jonin to lure the enemy was extremely successful, and the Mist Ninja entered the encirclement of Konoha!

The yellow dog couldn't help but glance at the bronze fox to its side and behind.

Copper Fox had just returned, and his breathing was still rapid.

Copper Fox performed exceptionally well, his mission to lure the enemy was flawless.

The yellow dog slowly raised its hand, preparing to make a handprint.

A certain instant later.

"burst!"

Hundreds of explosive tags suddenly exploded!

These explosive tags were personally set up by Yellow Dog. This was the secret technique of explosive tag traps that killed Thousand Hands Nawaki, and these Mist Ninjas had no idea about it.

Ye Guang was the first to rush forward.

After the explosion, smoke and dust enveloped the mountaintop.

The long knife and needle suddenly pierced through the smoke and dust, heading straight for Ye Guang, who was in the lead.

Ding!

The long knife and needle pierced the heart of the luminous figure, but were deflected by the copper light.

Both the luminous and the chestnut-scented kushimaru were very surprised.
