"Captain Orochimaru, do we really not need to cooperate with Land of Iron to launch an attack tonight?" Ranwu said with some worry.
"Who cares what they do? These samurai sold all this year's Chakra Metal share to Land of Lightning - Kumogakure should support them." Akaseki was very disdainful of Land of Iron's experience.
"But we do still need Land of Iron's warriors to hold on in the north----" Ranwu retorted.
Of course, Ranwu mainly wanted to reduce Land of Iron's casualties because he had seen the tragic situation in Land of Iron's village before.
Ranwu and Akaseki often have the same opinions when facing enemies and friends. However, there is one situation where their ideas will be completely different, that is when the other party is neither an enemy nor a friend!
Uchiha Clan's "sensibility" rarely spreads to people who have nothing to do with him.
Once Uchiha Clan gives his innate ability to love to everyone, including unrelated people, then----
The world will see the most twisted "love".
But regarding this matter, Akaseki and Ranwu actually thought wrong----
Before Orochimaru could say anything, Jiraiya had already said, "It's not just about cooperation, it should be said - be prepared for the trick Rotation."
"?" Akaseki and Ranwu haven't understood yet.
"It should be said to turn the tide." Orochimaru corrected from the side.
Akaseki also reacted at this time and asked quickly, "Could it be that----Hanzō hasn't left yet?"
If Land of Iron could lose, it would be in this hand!
"Nine times out of ten, we felt it when you chased the escaped Rain Ninja - this kind of frightening feeling is definitely not that of ordinary ninjas. There should be no other such existence among Amegakure." Jiraiya explained.
Just when Akaseki and the other three were chasing after them, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were also staring at the opposite side.
At this time, a silent sense of crisis spread from Rain Ninja's position.
It's not Sensory Ninjutsu, but it inspired the two people's instinctive reaction--
The samurai just felt that Jiraiya and Orochimaru were both quiet at that time, but they did not observe too much here, but also stared at Rain Ninja's reaction.
Otherwise they'll notice----
Jiraiya's throat trembled at that time, just like when Toad encountered a natural enemy, he was motionless on guard and ready. Frog Song's feeling: Orochimaru's snake pupils also stood up, and his lips trembled slightly. This was caused by the slight trembling of the tongue like a poisonous snake spitting out its core.
Although the two of them didn't find anything at the level of perception, they were already sure that there was an existence in Rain Ninja that could threaten—no, it could definitely kill them!
"Then----" Akaseki heard that Teacher Jiraiya almost admitted that Hanzō was there, and suddenly became a little nervous.
Amegakure's Jonin, Akaseki has basically been "disenchanted" after several contacts - but even so, it is far worse than Konoha's Jonin.
But----
Whether it is from the Shinobi World rumors or looking at the current reactions of captain Orochimaru and Teacher Jiraiya, this Hanzō----
They are all genuine, existences of the same level as the "shadows" of the Five Hidden Villages!
"Don't worry, of course we won't confront Hanzō." Orochimaru said matter-of-factly.
Jiraiya looked unbearable at this time, but still said, "Since it is Land of Iron's matter, I believe they are ready to sacrifice."
That's right, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, after realizing that Hanzō was still there, they decided instantly----
Land of Iron people, if you are fooled, just go ahead and flush!
"That old Ibuse must have a bigger purpose by pretending to be a turtle here - it's definitely not just to lure those warriors out." Jiraiya emphasized.
"Yes, they will definitely be given some sweetness at the beginning, and they will not show their full strength right away. The Rain Ninja that stopped you today seems to be small in number, giving the impression that most of them have been withdrawn. Then - when the time comes, this part will be mistakenly thought to have been withdrawn." Rain Ninja will most likely not be where they are.
"Instead, we should ambush in the distance and wait until Hanzō takes action to drag and trap those warriors, then other Rain Ninja will rush out and annihilate these warriors in one fell swoop!
"So what we have to do is to attack Rain Ninja's ambush when those warriors are fighting Hanzō. As long as our results are large enough, those warriors will be considered worthy of their death."
Orochimaru's tone is very calm.
Now Severed Mountain City has gathered half of the samurai power of Land of Iron!
Before, it was reduced to three-thirds of ten, but now if it is reduced to half, Land of Iron will only have 30% of its original strength.
But----
As long as the Orochimaru team can consume most of the ambushed Rain Ninja, Land of Rain's expedition will still fail.
Of course, in terms of specific implementation, from how to kill the enemy efficiently, to what to do when "unable to effectively expand the results", "encounter Hanzō", "Hanzō return reinforcements"----, Orochimaru made careful arrangements.
Then Orochimaru team rested for most of the day in the accommodation arranged for them in Severed Mountain City. They did not come out until night. They also used "Military Ration Pill" to satisfy their hunger. Although eating too much has side effects, it is better than not having to go to the toilet!
"Those Konoha Ninja started to rest after returning and didn't even eat lunch or dinner. It seems that they will definitely provide assistance in the future." Three-Eyes was relieved and at the same time a little proud.
"But they will definitely not come to the main battlefield. We still have to prepare for a tough battle----" Mifune was interrupted by Three-Eyes: "Huh, Mifune, do you think that Jonin, who has killed Rain Ninja himself, is more awesome than us?"
"I don't dare." Mifune lowered his head and said.
"Give me your Black Marsh, and you can stay here to defend the city!" Three-Eyes reached out to him angrily.
The other great swordsmen and swordsmen were just watching on the sidelines at this time.
Mifune held "Black Marsh"'s hand tightly and said immediately, "I'm sorry that I can't obey orders."
Asking for the sword of his samurai is not considered a legitimate order at Land of Iron, and Three-Eyes can only stare at it at this time.
In the evening Three-Eyes temporarily borrowed a famous sword from other swordsmen. Although it was not a grass sword, it was still usable.
After nightfall----
Land of Iron's warriors are ready for a night attack.
Although Konoha did not wait for the ninjas to come out, Three-Eyes was not prepared to wait any longer. Obviously those Konoha Ninja did not want to wait any longer.
Take action.
"Extinguish the lights on the tower and don't disturb Rain Ninja!" Three-Eyes ordered.
Mifune:----
Although Mifune knew that Three-Eyes didn't like him and was even left to defend the city, he still couldn't help but remind him at this time, "Three-Eyes great swordsman, let's go as usual - otherwise wouldn't it be easier to alert Rain Ninja?"
When Three-Eyes heard Mifune's voice, he instinctively wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was true.
"Shut up! That's what I meant. I was afraid that you would use extra fire just to bluff!" Three-Eyes scolded.
Mifune:----
Mifune watched thousands of warriors, starting from Severed Mountain City, heading towards the Rain Ninja camp not far away. For some reason, an ominous premonition emerged from his heart.
At this time, a samurai came to report, "Mifune swordsman, Konoha's ninja----have disappeared."
"Well, don't worry about him." Mifune nodded.
Konoha's ninja will indeed take action.
Just----
Mifune's uneasiness not only did not lessen, but became even more serious.
Soon after, shouts of killing were heard in the distance, and as the poisonous mist rose and fell, the shouts of killing gradually faded away----
Obviously, Rain Ninja, even under the cover of "poisonous fog", could no longer withstand the impact of the human-sea battle and began to retreat!
The warriors of Land of Iron, including Three-Eyes, were all holding their breath at this time. Naturally, they wanted to beat up the drowned dog and pursue them all the way.
At the same time, on the slope not far away, Shadow Clone Technique of Orochimaru was hiding, watching the battle between the warriors and Rain Ninja from afar----
At this distance, there is no Byakugan. In fact, we can't see anything specific. We can only see the general situation - the warriors are indeed chasing Rain Ninja!
A hundred miles away, in a valley----
More than three hundred Rain Ninja are hiding here!
Ninjas rarely appear in legions like this. Even when Shinobi World fights, battlefields with hundreds of people are very rare, and there are only a few key battles at most. However, because of Land of Iron's special terrain and the large number of warriors who stick together, Rain Ninja has no choice but to do this.
All members of the Orochimaru team are also on standby outside the valley at this time----
--
Jiraiya and Orochimaru have previously locked the location where Rain Ninja ambush, but it is still unclear whether Hanzō is among them.
Therefore, the first step in Orochimaru's plan is to wait for Hanzō to appear, and then launch a sneak attack on the ambushed Rain Ninja here!
However, it seems that a long time has passed since Land of Iron's night attack, but there is no movement here at Orochimaru. Obviously, Shadow Clone Technique did not send any news back.
"Captain Orochimaru, is that Hanzō also among the ambush Rain Ninja?" Akaseki asked worriedly.
The key to the success of Orochimaru's plan is that Hanzō must not be with the ambushing Rain Ninja, otherwise----
They don't dare to attack Rain Ninja who is ambushing him!
Although half of the more than three hundred Rain Ninja were below the level of Konoha Chunin, and the other half barely reached the level of Konoha Chunin, it was still very risky for five people to attack three hundred ninjas.
If Hanzō is here, there is no chance at all.
"With Hanzō's character, he will probably be with the decoy troops." Jiraiya echoed Orochimaru's previous speculation.
"Hanzō's character?" Akaseki is still a little worried.
"Hanzō seems to be heroic and generous, with ambitions to swallow up the world, but at heart he is still a petty person. He will sacrifice his own life for big things, and forget his life for small gains--even when he is pretending to be defeated, he will definitely not see the bait really given away in vain."
Orochimaru paused as he spoke, then smiled slightly and said, "Of course, if I guess wrong, we will evacuate to Three Wolf Mountain immediately."
In any case, Orochimaru will only attack Rain Ninja here after confirming that Hanzō appears there.
What should I do if I guess wrong?
Then even if Land of Iron is unlucky, Orochimaru will go to Three Wolf Mountain, which is the base camp of the Land of Iron warriors, to assist them in their final defense----
