Land of Rain East, on a muddy business road.
A "caravan" consisting of more than a dozen carts is moving forward with difficulty. The "merchants" pushing carts are all strong and have alert eyes. Under their seemingly tired pace, they hide the power that can break out at any time.
The leader is a tall man with a scar on his face Iwagakure Jonin, Tsuchiya.
"Cheer up!" Tsuchiya shouted in a low voice, "We're not far from the joint here, don't make mistakes at this time!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly stumbled out of the dense forest not far ahead.
"Wait!"
The figure ran and shouted, his voice hoarse and rapid.
"Alert!" Tsuchiya's eyes narrowed, and the Iwagakure Ninjas behind him instantly put their hands on the weapons on their waists, and a dozen sharp eyes locked on the figure that rushed out.
The visitor was soaked to the skin, and there were several deep wounds on his body, which were oozing with blood. He staggered to the caravan, and used a Kunai to support the big tree next to him to prevent his body from falling.
"Kirigakure's... ninja?" Tsuchiya saw the logo on the other party Forehead Protector clearly, and frowned even more tightly.
"No... that's right..." "Yuki" played by Senju Chen gasped heavily, with fear and urgency for the rest of his life written on his face, "I... I have urgent information! It's about Hanzō!"
Tsuchiya's eyes flickered, but he did not relax his vigilance. "Stop, what does your information have to do with us?"
"No... it's related! It's very important!" "Yuki" said eagerly, "Our plan... was discovered by Hanzō! He set a trap! Our team... was all wiped out! Only I escaped!"
As he spoke, he took out a blood-stained scroll from his arms.
"This is a secret agreement that we, Kirigakure, are preparing to join forces with you, Iwagakure! It was originally going to be handed over to your commander! But that bastard Hanzō... he seems to know everything! He is cleaning out all the external forces that have infiltrated Land of Rain!"
Tsuchiya's heart was shocked!
Kirigakure wants to join forces with them? He has never heard of this information! But if this is true, it is definitely major news that can change the entire war situation!
Moreover, the other party said that Hanzō was undergoing a major purge, which was completely consistent with the intelligence they had received before, which led to the suspension of the plan!
This time, he believed it 70%.
"Why should we believe you?" Tsuchiya still maintains the caution of a Jonin.
"Believe it or not!" Yuki's face showed grief, anger and determination, "I watched my companions being tortured and killed by Hanzō's cronies! I must avenge this! I know the route and defense change time of an elite patrol of Hanzō! They will pass by 'Kesu Gorge'! The terrain there is an excellent ambush location!"
He stared at Tsuchiya: "If you want this batch of supplies to be safely delivered to the resistance, you must deal with this patrol! Otherwise you will never make it! Help me take revenge, and I will give you the road map! This is your only chance!"
Kesu Gorge!
Tsuchiya's pupils shrank suddenly. He knew that the terrain in that place was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If he could deal with an elite group of Hanzō there, it would not only clear the way for their follow-up actions, but it would also be a great achievement!
The flames of greed and revenge instantly overwhelmed the last trace of reason in his heart.
A dying Kirigakure survivor full of hatred, with a "sincere" secret agreement, sent them a bait that they could not refuse.
"Okay!" Tsuchiya pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind, "Lead the way! If the information is true, we will avenge you!"
"Thank you. I will definitely kill all those bastards and avenge my teammates." Senju Chen's face showed a smile full of "gratitude" and "ferocious".
Seeing Iwagakure Ninja who had completely believed in himself, Senju Chen was relieved in his heart and also complained secretly. Fortunately, I prepared three sets of words and your internal code of Iwagakure. The result is this?
With the IQs of you little noobs, if you were placed in any of the spy movies of later generations, you wouldn't even survive three episodes...
Half an hour later, Iwagakure's caravan drove into the narrow and dark entrance of Kesu Gorge.
Both sides of the canyon are steep stone walls hundreds of meters high. There is only a passage in the middle that can only accommodate two carriages. The sky is squeezed into a gray line, and the cold rain mixed with the mountain wind blows on people's faces, bringing an ominous chill.
"Stop!"
Tsuchiya, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised his hand. An intuition from Elite Jonin made him feel strongly uneasy.
It's too quiet.
It was so quiet here that there wasn't even a chirping of birds or insects, only the sound of wind and rain, like walking into a huge tomb.
He raised his head suddenly and looked at the cliffs on both sides.
However, it's too late.
The moment he raised his head, a slender figure appeared on the top of the east cliff like a ghost. The man had pale skin and golden snake eyes, with a cruel smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. Several giant snakes were circling behind him, spitting out letters.
"Welcome, guests of Iwagakure."
Orochimaru's hoarse voice echoed in the canyon like a death knell.
Tsuchiya's face changed drastically and he shouted sternly, "No! It's a trap! Retreat!!"
The moment he saw the other party appear, Tsuchiya knew that he had been ambushed. When he saw the other party clearly, Tsuchiya's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
"Konoha..." Sannin"Orochimaru, why do people from Konoha appear here?"
Tsuchiya was at a loss, and what made him feel even more desperate was the rear.
He found their retreat, but at some point, it was blocked by Senju Chen who silently retreated to the back of the team with Wood Release.
The "Kirigakure Ninja" who led them in was slowly turning around at this moment. His body quickly shrank in a burst of light, and turned back into the appearance of that eight-year-old child.
Senju Chen also raised his little face towards them, showing an innocent and harmless smile.
"Asshole! You little brat!!" Tsuchiya was so angry that his eyes were splitting. He never imagined that he would be played with by a child!
He clearly checked and found that the other party did not use Transformation Technique.
"Quick, kill him and retreat immediately!!"
He roared and gave the final order.
However, Senju Chen just calmly raised his hand, bit his thumb, and moved his hands Hand Seals at an alarming speed.
"Summoning Technique!"
"Bang--!"
A burst of white smoke larger than any before exploded, and in the smoke, a huge and burly figure slowly stood up.
It was a giant ape wearing a tiger skin skirt, with hair standing on end like steel needles, and stern eyes, full of majesty like a king!
In its hand, it also held a long black stick that could be retracted and retracted at will and shimmered with metallic luster.
Monkey King·Enma!
Looking at the legendary psychic beast and feeling the terrifying oppression coming towards their faces, deep despair appeared on all Iwagakure Ninja's faces.
Tsuchiya's mouth opened unconsciously, muttering desperately:
"Ape...Enma...Konoha Hokage's psychic beast... how could this happen..."
