The rain did not stop because of the war.
Thick, dark clouds, always carrying an atmosphere of endless oppression, shroud the entire sky.
Uya's sword fell one after another, each strike more fluid and graceful than the last.
Originally, he wasn't as skilled at using the Jewel Shatter technique as he was with the Shockwave Slash, but as the battle has progressed, he now uses Jewel Shatter as casually as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
At this moment, even that Elite Jonin could no longer withstand it.
It's like a water tank; once you poke a hole in it, the tank is very likely to collapse.
Uya sheathed his katana, his figure flashed forward, and then suddenly unleashed a powerful punch.
In Setsuna, the rain froze in the air, as if a thunderclap had exploded in the field, and the earth shook and trembled.
The three Iwagakure from Jonin, who had long been unable to hold on, could only reveal their despairing gazes.
"Monster..."
boom!!
The Power of Tremors crashed down, carrying with it a torrent of rain that seemed to flow backward, like a brushstroke drawn by the water, depicting a perfect scene of Seaquake.
Under this force, the three Jonin Iwagakure had no power to resist and were crushed and routed in a single blow.
Three bodies fell into the rain.
Thus, the elite assassination squad of Iwagakure, who had been lying in ambush with Uya and his men, was completely wiped out!!
An incredibly breathtaking scene.
Although the battle was over, the rain continued to fall steadily, washing away the blood on the ground, and there was no longer any commotion or noise.
But it is precisely this scene that is so incredibly moving.
Uya stood silently in the arena, surrounded by corpses, the ground stained red with blood, like a scene from Shinra hell.
However, not a single drop of blood stained Uya's body; there was no crimson stain whatsoever.
He stood there like the Shinigami.
In the distance, Ino Yamanaka and Sana Asama, who had been able to stand by and watch since the battle began and had no right to intervene, seemed to be Petrification in place as if petrified.
Even now, their eyes still held a hint of disbelief.
"Dead... dead? They're all dead?"
" Uya... he's actually this strong! Even a company commander... no, a squad leader, wouldn't be this strong!"
If Uya's strength and talent were already monstrous before, but still within the realm of comprehension...
Now, Uya's power is beyond comprehension!
At this age, with such power, he's practically a killer born for the Second Shinobi World War, a demon from hell!
Slowly turning around, Uya walked quietly to the two in the rain. Without stopping, she took a few more steps, walked around them, and came to the body of Guren Gekko, where she stood still quietly.
Sana Asama and Ino Yamanaka, suppressing their shock and disbelief, also came to Uya's side.
"This is war. You face death anytime, anywhere, whether it's yourself or the enemy."
Uya murmured softly, her face hidden behind the mask, revealing no expression.
Then, Uya turned around in the rain without looking back and said, "Let's clean up the battlefield and go."
"Yes."
Sana Asama and Ino Yamanaka responded and immediately began to clean up the battlefield.
Without their own realizing it, at this moment their attitude seemed to naturally transform into that of subordinates, with Uya as their superior.
After clearing the battlefield and severing some important heads, sealing them in a scroll, Sana Asama and Ino Yamanaka silently followed Uya and left the place.
Looking at Uya's back again, their eyes involuntarily filled with respect, and at this moment they would no longer look down on Uya because of his age.
All that remained in my heart was awe.
The Land of Rain.
Here, campsites can only be set up on high ground, not in easily concealed valleys.
Because the valley is where water accumulates.
High above a hilly area, this is Konoha's camp in the Land of Rain. And it's not a temporary camp; it's a well-established and well-equipped place.
It resembles a small village.
At the heart of this camp was Konoha's command post Second Shinobi World War.
Hatake Sakumo stood quietly in front of a sand table, analyzing the battlefield situation.
Secretly, he was the captain of Konoha's Anbu Captain.
On the surface, he was Elite Jonin than Orochimaru and others, and also the frontline commander-in-chief of this war.
Just then, a ninja rushed into the room.
His body was covered in wounds, and blood was dripping from it.
Hatake Sakumo looked up instantly. Without him needing to ask, the wounded scout swiftly revealed the information he had obtained at the cost of his life.
"Lord Sakumo, after engaging in battle with the Iwagakure, we discovered that an elite Iwagakure assassination squad had infiltrated our defenses undetected."
"Is that so?"
For a moment, even Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
An assassination squad has infiltrated this area, so their target must be important personnel of Konoha or Konoha's elite troops.
If the ambush succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If an Elite Jonin like Orochimaru or Jiraiya were to be lost, it would have a significant impact on the situation on the battlefield.
Can you determine the approximate location?
"It's roughly in the northwest direction, but I don't know the specifics."
"Okay, I understand. You can go and recover now."
Hatake Sakumo then nodded and waved, at which point Medical Squad ninjas immediately came in and helped the wounded ninja out.
Then, Hatake Sakumo immediately summoned several intelligence ninjas and sensory ninjas into the room.
Through mutual analysis and deliberation, a general area was quickly determined.
Even with an elite assassination squad, Hatake Sakumo dared not be careless in the slightest and ultimately decided to take the lead personally for the sake of caution.
But at that moment, a figure burst into the room.
Anyone who dares to barge in at a time like this is no ordinary person.
He was the Hokage's Danzo and one of the frontline commanders. However, Danzo usually operated in the shadows, carrying out various provocations and assassinations, and rarely intervened directly in the main battlefield.
The decisions on the main battlefields were made by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hatake Sakumo.
" Sakumo, you must not act rashly."
Danzo calmly refuted Hatake Sakumo's decision.
Hatake Sakumo said in a deep voice, "Apart from me, anyone else who goes might suffer casualties. Moreover, with an elite force so close by, if we don't wipe them all out, we'll lose in terms of morale."
Danzo frowned and said, "We're currently in a stalemate, and the higher-ups haven't even made a move yet. If you make your move prematurely, won't it make people think that Konoha is weak?"
"No."
Hatake Sakumo calmly looked at Danzo, a sudden surge of power emanating from him.
"If I wipe them all out, no one will know I went out. Besides, I'll use another identity."
Danzo remained silent for a while, and faced with the resolute attitude of Hatake Sakumo, he could only nod in the end, but a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
