Through the information fed back by the snakes, Chiyu learned that a three-man squad was scouting roughly forty meters away.
Chiyu silently crept over and found the three-man squad.
One of them, a sensor ninja, had his eyes closed as he sensed the area, while the other two kept watch around him.
"Iijima, how is it? Have you sensed anything?"
"Yes, but something is very wrong."
"Wrong? How is it wrong?"
"I can roughly sense more than two hundred Konoha ninja, but over a hundred of them feel very strange."
"Gasp! More than two hundred? Just how many people did Konoha send to support the Land of Hot Water?"
"Looks like Konoha plans to launch a counterattack. After all, Orochimaru, one of the other Legendary Sannin, has come to the Land of Hot Water."
"Shouldn't we retreat and report this right away?"
"Wait a little longer. Let me sense again. Those hundred-plus people are really strange."
Suddenly, the sensor ninja named Iijima shouted, "Careful! Someone is approaching us!"
"You only sensed me when I was this close? You're not much of a sensor ninja."
Chiyu appeared behind the three Cloud Ninja, his hands rapidly forming seals.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
Several snakes shot out from Chiyu's sleeves and ambushed the three Cloud Ninja. Their sharp fangs clamped tightly around the men's necks, injecting venom.
As the poison took effect, the three Cloud Ninja's bodies began to go numb.
Chiyu gripped a kunai in reverse and efficiently slit the throats of all three Cloud Ninja.
The Konoha ninja continued advancing.
Along the way, they encountered several attacks.
However, Orochimaru and Jiraiya's Summoning Animals acted in time and killed the attackers.
Even if any slipped through the net, Orochimaru and Jiraiya would personally deal with them before the Cloud Ninja could
