The guard outside pushed the door open and entered.
"Lord Hanzo!"
"Increase the security of the Xiaoshang Association members, and have them patrol the streets more often. We must not let those traitors rescue them!"
"Yes!"
"Also, please send a letter to Lord Tsuchikage for me."
"Yes!"
......
The Land of Earth, where the war was still raging, was the first to receive news of the civil war in the Land of Rain.
As Onoki flew through the air, inside the border camp, he pondered Hanzo's cooperation, and finally slowly issued the order: "Yellow Earth."
"Father!"
“You will be stationed in the Land of Rain. If you pass through any of the towns on the list along the way…” Onoki’s eyes hardened: “Plunder as many resources as possible to use as supplies for the frontline battles against the Konoha ninjas of the Land of Fire.”
However, never kill unless absolutely necessary.
"understand!"
Just as the Iwa ninja forces were preparing to set off in a grand procession.
The towns also began to unite as one, preparing for a fight to the death with Amegakure Hanzo.
The city lords and mayors were well aware of the ninjas' speed and strength, so they dispatched ninjas and samurai who were willing to fight in Amegakure.
Anyone who possessed chakra became part of the resistance against Amegakure.
Many people know that if they succeed in this battle, their status will undergo a dramatic change.
First, there were the many guests who stayed under the care of city lords and wealthy families.
There are also various bounty hunters who roam the ninja world's black market, gold exchange shops, and other similar places.
Despite their apparent freedom, they actually live a precarious existence as fugitives.
Killing others will ultimately lead to being killed by others.
Even a head that is worthless can become a name on the list after committing various killings.
"I never imagined we could assemble a force of 800 men in a single day! It's unbelievable! Yahiko, don't you agree?"
"Ok!"
If there hadn't been a shortage of time, there should actually have been more than 800 people.
Before the battle, there must be an oath.
Yahiko, Nagato, and other ninjas with Jonin-level strength stood atop the mountain and began their revolutionary oath.
......
at the same time.
This news also reached Hanzo's ears.
Hanzo was furious. He never expected that the ninja village he had built would one day be targeted by others who even tried to overthrow him!
"Bastard!"
"That's absolutely outrageous!!"
"Has Onoki's Iwa ninja not arrived yet?!"
The Rain Village ninja stood before them, not daring to speak.
With war imminent, and after the pre-war oaths, it was time to march.
The new Rain Ninja set off for Amegakure in a grand procession.
Just then, Shirahoshi also received a message from the White Zetsu clone.
—White Rain City has been attacked by the Rock Ninja and has fallen.
"Iwa ninja, is that old geezer Onoki planning to get involved too?" Shirahoshi asked.
The White Zetsu clone shook his head: "The other side didn't kill people indiscriminately, they just stole some food and supplies, but some ninjas did secretly steal money and the like."
"I understand. Onoki is truly despicable." Shirahoshi finally saw through it.
Onoki wanted to take advantage of the authority granted by Amegakure, but he didn't want to get completely involved in the political struggles of the Land of Rain.
But once you step in, how can you possibly leave unscathed?
"Which direction is the team in, and how far away are they from us?"
"We're heading northwest, and we'll be arriving at Wind and Rain City soon."
"Alright, go tell Yahiko about the situation, I'll deal with the Iwa ninja."
"understand!"
......
Step, step, step!
The Iwa ninja combat force led by Huang Tu consisted of 1,500 ninja.
Behind them, there was also a 500-strong ninja unit specifically responsible for logistical escort and transport of supplies.
"In this battle, we must take down Konoha's border camp!" Huang Tu said as he walked along a rocky road.
Beside him, a Jonin from Iwagakure spoke up: "Lord Kyoto, please rest assured, Konoha has encountered enemies in many places."
The border defenses have been extremely dispersed; there are probably less than a thousand survivors left in the camp on the Insect Forest Gorge side.
"The Oil Women Clan".
"Konoha Village is so lucky! It's amazing that it has won the favor of so many clans."
"Kamizu Ryufeng, you will be our vanguard in this battle!"
"We must defeat the members of the Aburame clan!"
"Yes!" Kamisui Ryuhō nodded upon hearing this, and the members of the Kamisui Ryuhō clan beside him were all very excited, thinking that they could finally show the power of their clan!
Just as the troops had advanced about three miles, the insect envoy of the Shangshui clan noticed that several of his bees had suddenly died.
"Lord Loess, something's wrong. It seems three of my bees have died..."
"what?"
Before Huang Tu could give the order, the reconnaissance troops further ahead began shouting:
"There seem to be enemies ahead!!"
"kill him!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tu rushed forward, worried that he would be fighting with the Rain Village ninja and wasting his manpower unnecessarily.
"Don't make any rash moves!! Wait for me..."
Before Huang Tu, who was standing on high ground, could speak, all four members of the reconnaissance team were eliminated on the earthen slope diagonally below.
At that moment, Shirahoshi was grabbing the reconnaissance captain by the neck.
Upon hearing the arrival of the follow-up troops, Bai Xing turned her head and exerted a slight force in her hand, instantly killing the reconnaissance captain. Huang Tu, witnessing this scene, was filled with rage.
Bai Xing put down the body, turned to look at the yellow earth, and said in A Fei's tone:
"Sorry, sorry~ I was startled by your sudden shout and accidentally crushed him."
"You shouldn't mind, right?"
"after all..."
After drawing out the sound, Bai Xing's tone suddenly changed: "You guys are really too weak."
"Who are you people! How dare you oppose the ninjas of Iwagakure!!" Huang Tu was enraged and charged forward, but was quickly stopped by the Iwagakure Jonin beside him:
"Captain Huangtu, something's wrong with them. We have over a thousand Iwa ninja behind us, yet they show no fear whatsoever..."
Step, step, step!
Behind Huang Tu and the Iwagakure Jonin who was speaking, on the steep cliffs high above, appeared the figures of Iwagakure ninja.
Each of them was strong and imposing, dressed in dark red cloth and wearing headbands with a mountain-like pattern, signifying their identity as Iwagakure ninjas.
The Iwagakure Jonin continued, "This is really not right."
As soon as the words were spoken, many of the Iwagakure ninja revealed fierce looks.
The air suddenly became incredibly tense. If an ordinary person looked up and saw the eyes of countless fierce-looking men, they would probably be terrified and run away in a panic.
But Shirahoshi, dressed in Luna's attire, remained remarkably calm, her colorful mask tilting slightly.
"Could it be that there are Konoha ninja lying in ambush behind me?"
As soon as these words came out.
The Iwagakure Jonin immediately said:
"Damn it! The Konoha ninjas have figured out our marching route! Send the Sensory Team!"
"Yes!" The Iwa ninja behind him hurriedly relayed the message.
The sensory class member in the middle nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and began to perceive his surroundings.
Eight students per class, divided into two groups, began forming hand seals.
Finally, four hands clapped on the ground first:
"Earth Release: Rock and Soil Core Perception Technique!"
The ground suddenly shook, and Shirahoshi felt a surge of chakra rush past her feet, coming from above.
"Chakra Eye!"
Bai Xing turned her head and saw that the fluctuations had spread to a range of about one kilometer.
The Iwa ninja, having just used their sensory ninjutsu, were momentarily stunned. They looked at the other group, whose captain shouted, "Earth Release: Rock and Earth Core Sensory Technique!"
The ground shook again.
