In just one day, Sen and his party of five arrived at the Land of Lightning border.
Looking at the towering mountains in front of him, Sen couldn't help but be curious. "Logically speaking, Land of Lightning's dimension is further north, so why doesn't it seem so cold? It's much better than Land of Frost."
Han Mei frowned slightly. She knew that she was the only one who could answer this question, but there was a hint of impatience in her tone. "We are already in Land of Lightning's area and may be attacked soon. Why do you still have time to ask this question? Naturally, it is because of the ocean monsoon and Land of Frost's lack of barriers, so the climate is extremely low."
"If you have the time, why not think more about how to deal with the cloud ninja if you encounter it later! This place is not as good as before, and there will no longer be such a good opportunity to poison!"
Before she finished speaking, she caught a sharp glimpse of several figures emerging from the mountainside in the distance. They seemed to be local farmers from Land of Lightning.
At first, the other party thought they were travelers from out of town, and when they were about to approach, one of them suddenly changed his face and shouted in horror, "No, that's Konoha's ninja! Run away and go back and inform the ninjas!"
"Oops, the whereabouts have been exposed." Uchiha Hikaru asked with a stern expression, "Are we going to deal with it? It's very troublesome if the information is leaked. We should be able to catch up at this distance now, but it's hard to say later.
At this moment, Han Mei was shocked and realized why Orochimaru said he wanted to "deal with" him before.
In the ninja world, the leakage of any information may bring fatal danger.
I just managed to save my life by luck, but these farmers - I'm afraid they are in doom.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
Han Mei is still undecided, but Orochimaru has already taken action.
Seven or eight large snakes with thick arms suddenly sprang out from his sleeves, twisting and moving quickly on the ground. In just a few seconds, they were about to catch up with the farmers who were desperately trying to escape.
Seeing that those poisonous snakes had opened their fangs and were about to bite the farmer, suddenly, a sharp lightning flashed!
The Chidori Sharp Spear in the hand of Sen took action boldly and cut off all the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands of Orochimaru.
Taking advantage of this gap, the farmers had fled away. Orochimaru looked back at Sen dissatisfied. "Sen-kun, do you really want to be a virgin? What just happened, if Raikage knows about it, what will you do if his ninjas are mixed with civilians after the war starts?"
Orochimaru's problem is like a curse, hovering in everyone's mind.
Land of Fire and Land of Lightning have always had friction, and both sides hold the other's prisoners in their hands.
What should we do if we encounter a Cloud Ninja later and the other party really threatens to take prisoner?
Han Mei was extremely confused.
A moment ago, she had just saved her life because of Sen's "mercy", but at this moment, she couldn't help but be shaken. She gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, "I think we should--we should deal with them according to the task priority, and at least tie them up for a few days. Ninjas who are too kind will suffer!"
"It's because you think too much." Sen didn't seem to care. He continued to lead the way and said calmly, "What you are talking about is the "mercy" of the weak. That is not called mercy, that is seeking death."
"And my power has already surpassed all these. To me, these so-called problems are just like when I was at the border——"
"It's just a little bit of wind and frost."
Looking at Sen's appearance, disgust flashed in Han Mei's eyes. This is the life of so many people, how can you be so casual?!
She moved closer to Orochimaru: "Senior Orochimaru, can you leave your men alone? Such a ninja cannot perform the task well at all!
When Orochimaru heard this, he glanced sideways at her with his golden snake eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised a playful arc. "It seems that you haven't figured out who the captain is yet. The person in charge of this team is Mr. Sen."
"Ah?"
Han Mei was completely stunned.
She couldn't understand why Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, would take orders from such a young boy.
She couldn't even understand why the leader of this team was such a "soft-hearted" yet "arrogant" person!
This Uchiha Sen, in her opinion, does not even have the basic qualities of a ninja!
"But----he doesn't look like a mature ninja at all! He doesn't have any ninja rules! This time he is fighting Land of Lightning!"
Faced with the doubt, Sen showed no anger in his eyes. He said, "Rules are for ordinary people, not for ninjas like me."
He turned to Orochimaru and whispered, "When the enemy comes later, I will deal with it. Orochimaru, just follow the plan I made before, and there is no need to make additional sacrifices."
Orochimaru shrugged, licked his lips and replied, "It's up to you. I really don't like you being so soft-hearted. If the prisoner dies, won't he die?"
"It's easy for you to say that!" Uchiha Hikaru and Might Duy immediately retorted, with dissatisfaction on their faces.
Who can guarantee that he will not be injured or captured on the battlefield? If we follow Orochimaru's argument, wouldn't all injured companions be abandoned as burdens?
A ninja is a real living life, not a ninja tool that can be consumed at will!
Sen promptly stopped him and said, "Okay, stop arguing and keep going. We don't have that much time for internal strife."
A few hours later.
Before the group really got close to Kumogakure, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.
I saw that Hillside in the distance was filled with darkness, and they were all cloud ninjas who came after hearing the news. At a rough glance, it looked like there were thousands of people, and they almost filled the entire Hillside.
The leader is Daimyo Dingding's Third Raikage!
What's even more troublesome is the more than eighty people behind Third Raikage who look terrified -
Several people recognized at a glance that those were captured ninjas from various countries. Among them, Weiye's ninjas accounted for the most, accounting for at least fifty or sixty people!
"This----how is this possible----"Han Mei's body trembled uncontrollably.
The strongest people she has ever seen in her life are just a few Jonin. Never has she ever seen such a grand scene of thousands of ninjas confronting each other!
This was completely beyond her knowledge.
"This place is obviously just on the edge of Land of Lightning, why did they gather thousands of people here? It's over now, I can't avenge myself, everyone will die here!"
Just when Han Mei was on the verge of collapse, a blond female ninja in the cloud ninja formation, Samui, shouted loudly, "The long-haired Uchiha kid opposite is Uchiha Sen! He is the one who broke Lord Raikage's arm! Everyone is ready, the whole army will attack, don't hold back, just kill him."
As soon as these words came out, the shock was even greater than before. Han Mei turned his head stiffly like a puppet, staring at Sen.
"They just said you broke Raikage's hand? Is this ---- true?"
Orochimaru looked at the thousands of cloud ninjas in front of him with great interest, then stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips. "It's true. I'm also surprised. It's a pity that I didn't keep that hand. I still want to study it."
"Stop talking about this." Minato stared solemnly at the crowd in the distance who were about to move, and shouted loudly, "You cloud ninjas are so shameless, you actually want to threaten us with the lives of the captives!"
Samui heard this and let out a burst of wanton laughter. "A ninja is a person who tries his best to complete a task! What you said is shameless, isn't it the best compliment to a ninja?"
When Uchiha Hikaru heard this, he didn't know what expression to make. He had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "It seems that this is really the case. If the other party Raikage is also such a person, I will be the first to use this method----"
He then turned to Sen and lowered his voice. "They Third Raikage are standing next to the prisoners now, probably to prevent Sen from repeating your old tricks and making a surprise attack like last time, right?"
Sen's eyes swept over the painful and desperate faces of the prisoners. He shook his head slightly and winked at Orochimaru calmly.
Then he showed a "just right" expression of helplessness and resentment on his face, and shouted to Samui, "Sooner or later we will find a way to save them! Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru had already finished Hand Seals tacitly and slammed it on the ground.
"Boom!" There was a sound of white smoke billowing from the ground. Immediately afterwards, countless giant snakes surged out and rushed towards the cloud ninja army, covering the Sen people as they retreated quickly.
Looking at the backs of Sen and the others "fleeing in a hurry", Samui sneered disdainfully, "What a waste! As a ninja, you can be so weak! You don't even know how to use war to deceive!"
