Mukawa Hui's home being destroyed did not cause much of a stir in the Land of Waves, but to keep up appearances, Muzan still sent people over to investigate.
Just as he had expected, those people began playing guerrilla warfare with Muzan. No one knew where they would appear next, leaving the people of the Land of Waves in constant panic.
There were more important matters at hand. Muzan secretly deployed his forces along the border, within the range of activity of Konoha's remnants.
At the same time, he made a feint. Using the destruction of Mukawa Hui's home as an excuse, large numbers of people entered the Mukawa Territory to search for those people.
"Muzan-sama, we don't dare get too close. Konoha still has quite a few sensory ninja, and we're afraid they'll detect our traces."
The one leading the team was Shanye Song. He knew Konoha better than anyone and was the most suitable for this surprise attack. As an Anbu ninja, he was also the Twelve Kizuki member with the strongest counter-surveillance abilities.
Although there were no ninja in this forest, Shanye Song activated his Blood Demon Art. Dense eyes appeared across his body, allowing him to see the insects scattered throughout the area.
They came from the Aburame Clan and could remember a ninja's scent. If they spotted them, it would inevitably cause trouble. If Muzan's plan was affected, just thinking of the harsh punishments was enough to make one shudder.
Therefore, most of the ninja remained in the surrounding area, focusing on surveillance.
"Good work. Now isn't the time to clash with Konoha."
Muzan could sense the insects hidden within. The Aburame Clan's bugs really were troublesome. He would let Kamizuru Poison Butterfly handle them.
Following Muzan's orders, those ninja merely hid in the distance.
