A few minutes later, Shin'un led a dozen Konoha Ninja to explore outside the Sand Ninja stronghold and found a spot closer to the camp in the center of the stronghold, which was surrounded by a barrier.
After glancing at the Sand Ninja ahead, Shin'un turned to the dozen or so Konoha Ninja and gave them instructions:
"Once we break through, I'll break the barrier, and they'll be responsible for bringing out the information inside."
As he spoke, Shin'un pointed to the squad where Nawaki was located.
"Note that we can only buy you twenty seconds. You must take all the intelligence with you within those twenty seconds."
"Once twenty seconds have passed, no matter how important the remaining information is, we must abandon it."
"Do you understand?"
"Clear!"
Nodding, Shin'un looked at the other Konoha Ninja.
"I'll lead the charge and head straight for the central tent in the Sand Ninja stronghold."
"This is Sand Ninja Sand Ninja, and their numbers far exceed ours. Therefore, we must act quickly and avoid being held back. We absolutely cannot allow the Sand Ninja to form an encirclement."
"Quick in and quick out; the entire process must not exceed one minute."
"Do you understand?"
"Clear!"
Seeing this, Shin'un said nothing more and turned to look at Dan Katō.
"Let's begin."
Nodding, Dan Katō began Hand Seals again, activating the Spirit Transformation Technique. His soul left his body and silently drifted towards the Sand Ninja stronghold.
"Boom!"
A moment later, the booming sound of an exploding Explosive Tag suddenly came from the other end of the Sand Ninja base.
"What?"
" The Explosive Tag exploded?"
"Run! There's an attack!"
"..."
The Explosive Tag explosion of the detonating tags echoed throughout the entire Sand Ninja stronghold, and all the Sand Ninja immediately rushed towards the direction of the explosion.
Since the explosion originated from the other end of the base, a road leading to the center of the Sand Ninja base naturally appeared in front of Shin'un and the others.
Seeing that the road in front of him was unobstructed, Shin'un immediately took out a Senju Secret Medicine from the ninja tool pouch on his left leg.
After swallowing it, feeling the surge of heat, Shin'un immediately gave an order to the dozen or so Konoha Ninja behind him.
"Rush!"
At Shin'un's command, a faint electric current surged from his body as he charged out of the dense forest.
Of the dozen or so Konoha Ninja behind him, aside from Dan Katō's two teammates who stayed behind to care for Dan Katō incapacitated body, the remaining twelve Konoha Ninja followed closely behind Shin'un, rushing out of the bushes where they were hiding.
Who goes there!
A Sunagakure Chunin was standing at the entrance of a camp, gazing at the site of an explosion not far away, when he suddenly sensed movement behind him. Turning around, he saw more than a dozen Konoha Ninja rushing towards him.
"This..."
Upon seeing this, the Sunagakure Chunin drew his Kunai with a look of terror and as if facing a formidable enemy, ready to shout a warning.
"Um?"
Shin'un keenly sensed this Sunagakure Chunin, and wasn't too surprised.
He had Dan Katō create noise at the other end of the base to attract the Sand Ninja, but he never expected that he could attract all the Sand Ninja to the other end of the base.
There are over a hundred Sand Ninja in this stronghold. It's impossible for them all to be attracted to the other side of the stronghold by a single explosion. Some Sand Ninja will always stay in place and wait for further developments.
Shin'un didn't expect that the sound of an Explosive Tag would allow him to easily approach the center of the Sand Ninja stronghold.
In a flash, Shin'un looked ahead again and saw the Sunagakure Chunin who had spotted them.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Shin'un's mind stirred, and his entire body surged with electricity. His figure vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of the Sunagakure Chunin.
" Konoha..."
The Sunagakure Sunagakure Chunin had barely uttered two words when Shin'un's Kunai blade sliced across his neck, the gushing blood silencing him from Chunin next words.
After glancing briefly at the Sunagakure Chunin lying helplessly on the ground clutching his neck, Shin'un once again strode towards the center of the stronghold, followed closely by a dozen Konoha Ninja.
Every now and then, one or two Sand Ninja would occasionally appear from nearby tents, but they would usually be killed silently by Shin'un or several Konoha Ninja working together.
This perfect infiltration continued for some time until Shin'un led a dozen Konoha Ninja to the vicinity of the target camp.
Who goes there!
" Konoha Ninja?"
Four teams of Sand Ninja guarded the area around the barrier tent. When they saw Shin'un leading more than a dozen Konoha Ninja rushing towards them, they immediately reacted.
Upon seeing the four squads of Sand Ninja guarding the barrier ahead, Shin'un used his slow perspective to examine each of the twelve Sand Ninja one by one.
There were twelve Sand Ninja in total, including four Jonin, six Chunin, and two Genin.
It seems that this camp protected by the barrier is indeed very important, enough to warrant the protection of four Jonin squads.
Ah~
In the blink of an eye, the four Sunagakure Jonin, seeing the dozen or so Konoha Ninja rapidly approaching, roared and immediately led their teammates to charge towards the Konoha Ninja.
Upon seeing this, Shin'un narrowed his eyes and immediately began Hand Seals.
Lightning Release: Lightning Snake!
As he Hand Seals, Shin'un's Chakra began to evaporate rapidly, generating a large amount of electricity between his palms, which finally condensed into a ball of lightning.
"Hiss~"
Dozens of lifelike, scaly snake heads emerged from the ball of lightning, accompanied by faint hissing sounds.
"Go!"
As soon as Shin'un had a thought, the dozen or so Lightning Snake circling around him immediately rushed out from the Sand Ninja in front of him.
"Hiss~"
Upon seeing a dozen or so Lightning Snake formed from condensed electricity rushing towards them, the leading Sunagakure Jonin were the first to react.
"Watch out!"
Hearing their Jonin's warning, the remaining Chunin Genin finally reacted, noticing the dozen or so Lightning Snake attacking from the front, and quickly took cover.
Unfortunately, this time the Lightning Release: Lightning Snake attack only targeted twelve people, enough for Shin'un to assign each of the twelve Sand Ninja a cute Lightning Snake to attack. The four Sunagakure Jonin were given special attention by Shin'un, each receiving several Lightning Snake to care for them.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
"..."
This time, Shin'un was not fighting alone, so he changed his attack method with Lightning Release: Lightning Snake.
When the Lightning Snake's head approaches within five meters of the target Sand Ninja, the snake's head will immediately explode, and the electric current will wreak havoc on everything within a five-meter radius, paralyzing the Sand Ninja within the area.
Because of the greatly increased attack range, Shin'un had paralyzed all twelve Sand Ninja in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Shin'un remained in place, maintaining the paralyzing electric current, while the dozen or so Konoha Ninja behind him moved forward in perfect unison, easily killing the Sand Ninja who had no power to resist.
"Hiss~"
Upon seeing that all twelve Sand Ninja were dead, Shin'un dispersed the ball of lightning in his palm, and faint white smoke drifted from his palm.
With the last obstacle nearing the barrier tent gone, Shin'un dared not linger and immediately led more than a dozen Konoha Ninja toward the target tent.
As the camp rapidly approached, Shin'un clasped his hands together again and began Hand Seals.
Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!
Clinging to Shin'un's right arm, the scattered currents quickly condensed into a shape, and a ferocious lightning spear appeared.
