Chapter 108 Iwa Ninja's Conquest of the Land of Rain
In the Land of Earth, in the office of the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, the Tsuchikage stood at the window, looking at the many Iwagakure ninja waiting outside, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Hehehe, Konoha is fighting Sand Village, and Cloud Village is fighting Mist Village. We can't just sit idly by. Let's take down the Land of Rain first as an appetizer."
In the last war, the Rain Ninja, led by Hanzo, repeatedly repelled the invasions of the Iwa Ninja, which has always been a source of resentment for the Tsuchikage.
This time, taking advantage of the fact that the other four great ninja villages are restraining each other and unable to interfere with the Land of Rain, the Tsuchikage must seize the opportunity to completely annihilate the Rain Ninja and take control of the Land of Rain!
Beside the Tsuchikage, led by Huang Tu, stood elite Jonin such as Dong Shijin, Mo Zhi, Huo Guang, Daishi, and Suma Shi.
"The location of the Land of Rain is extremely important. As long as we control the Land of Rain as a bridgehead, we can attack or defend at will, and we will be able to take the initiative in the future Shinobi World War."
"That's right, this war is extremely crucial. I don't trust anyone else, so I can only entrust it to you, Huang Tu!"
"Yes!"
The loess soil remains stable.
The Iwa ninja are about to invade, and the Akatsuki are trying to find a way to maintain Hanzo's trust in them.
Having only recently begun cooperating, Ooka Shin felt that the Akatsuki organization was facing an extremely difficult situation, constantly having to be on guard against Hanzo eliminating him.
"What else can we do? Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. After all, we can't make decisions for Hanzo."
Upon hearing Ooka Shin's words, everyone fell silent.
This is the helplessness of the weak; many times they can only accept the arrangements of fate and the results imposed by the strong.
Nagato clenched his fists tightly, feeling immense self-reproach and pain, hating his own incompetence.
If only he had great strength.
If he can fully master the power of the Rinnegan, he can definitely help everyone!
At that moment, Nagato felt a warmth on his back. Yahiko and Konan, being Nagato's good friends, accurately guessed Nagato's feelings and placed their hands on his back, one on each side, to comfort him.
"Hehe, I'm fine. No matter how difficult things are, we can overcome them."
"I know, Nagato can definitely do it."
"Haha, keep it up!"
As Ooka Shin watched the three of them, Yahiko and his companions, getting along so well, his eyelids twitched.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time he'd ever witnessed three people's public displays of affection, and Ooka Shin couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, hey, that's enough! I'm still a child. Don't be all lovey-dovey in front of me."
The meeting ended quickly, and Akatsuki sent Tanaka Hideyuki as a messenger to Hanzo to explain the situation with Iwagakure and to ask Hanzo not to believe Iwagakure's promises.
In the rain, Tanaka Hideyuki was hurrying through the woods with the letter in his hand, but when he reached midnight, he was suddenly stopped by a group of ninjas.
"Damn it! It's the Iwa ninja! We underestimated the enemy's cunning. After discussing for so long, we never expected that they would directly intercept the messenger and cut off our communication with the Amegakure ninja."
Upon seeing the other person's headband, Hideyuki Tanaka cursed inwardly and prepared himself for suicide.
He knew the core secrets of the Akatsuki organization and knew that they absolutely could not be captured by the enemy; it would be best not to leave them even with their bodies.
"Just as the Tsuchikage predicted, the Akatsuki rejected us. But it doesn't matter. Cutting off your communication will inevitably make you suspicious of each other. And once suspicion arises, it won't dissipate!"
The captain of the Iwa ninja was a tall ninja who used words to distract Tanaka Hideyuki while waiting for his subordinates to complete the encirclement.
He would never give the enemy any chance to escape!
Sensing the enemy's intentions, Hideyuki Tanaka turned and fled, using his Water Clones technique to distract the enemy.
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
Several Iwa ninja used ninjutsu together, causing a towering wall to rise from the ground and block Tanaka Hideyuki's path.
Tanaka Hideyuki looked around and saw that the city wall stretched for at least a hundred meters, making it impossible to go around it in time.
At this moment, Tanaka Hideyuki's water clone was destroyed, and several Iwa ninjas jumped onto the castle wall and formed hand seals again.
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
The ground cracked open, and hundreds of sharp rock spears suddenly appeared, covering a large area of land, leaving Hideyuki Tanaka with no way to escape.
"Lightning Release counters Earth Release, and it's raining heavily now, so the rain will expand the attack range of Lightning Release. Using Lightning Release is the best choice! Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"
Tanaka Hideyuki released the hand seal with his left hand, and the short sword he held in his right hand was instantly enveloped in fierce lightning chakra, which extended a meter along the sword.
The short sword instantly transformed into a long sword crackled with lightning.
He swung his sword repeatedly, the lightning-struck blade easily slicing through the rock spears beside him, and then charged towards several rock ninjas, attempting to break through the encirclement.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
One of the Iwa ninjas unleashed a powerful gust of wind, blocking Tanaka Hideyuki's attack. At the same time, other Iwa ninjas launched shuriken, attacking Tanaka Hideyuki under the cover of the wind.
Damn!
While retreating to avoid the strong wind, Tanaka Hideyuki also had to use his long sword to block the shuriken, thus losing his chance to break through.
Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!
A rock ninja appeared behind Tanaka Hideyuki, raised his fist encased in rock, and slammed it down hard on Tanaka Hideyuki.
Get out of the way!
Hideyuki Tanaka jumped to the right, dodging the rock fist, which landed almost close to his body.
"Naive! Now comes the real attack! Earth Release: Rock Shuriken!"
The rock ninja sneered, and his rock fist accelerated as it landed on the ground with a loud bang, creating a large crater. At the same time, numerous rocks were sent flying, moving faster than shuriken!
Puff puff puff puff.
Numerous rocks struck Tanaka Hideyuki's body, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground like a broken sack.
"We might be able to get some useful information by interrogating him!"
"Ask them what their contact code or secret code is, then transform into his appearance and attack the Rain Ninja to provoke a conflict between them."
"Don't forget to ask about the Akatsuki; we still need to disguise ourselves as Rain Ninja to attack them."
Several Iwa ninjas, with cruel smiles on their faces, slowly approached Tanaka Hideyuki, keeping a close eye on his movements to prevent him from suddenly killing someone.
At this point, Hideyuki Tanaka still had some fighting strength, but he felt that he could not escape and that continuing to fight would only increase the risk of being captured alive, so he decisively chose to commit suicide.
"I'm sorry, leader, I failed the mission! Lightning Release: Blood Mist Lightning Storm! Aaaaaaah!"
While coughing up blood, Tanaka Hideyuki rapidly formed hand seals. His chakra instantly went berserk, rampaging through his body and constantly destroying his tissues. His skin and flesh tore open, causing him immense pain.
One second later, the lightning exploded inside Hideyuki Tanaka's body, turning him into a cloud of red blood mist.
"Hmph, at least they died cleanly!"
Although they failed to capture Tanaka Hideyuki alive, the Iwa ninja were not disappointed.
They have already devised a comprehensive strategy; capturing Hideyuki Tanaka would be the icing on the cake, and it wouldn't matter if they didn't.
On the second day in Amegakure, the envoy from Iwagakure was meeting with Hanzo.
"Hehe, Lord Hanzo, even at this point, no one from Akatsuki has come to report to you, which proves that I wasn't lying to you. Akatsuki really does want to rely on us Iwa ninja to overthrow your rule."
