Konoha’s Thief Hand

The two ninja teams, Matsuzaki and Shiina, disguised slightly, crossed the border and sneaked into the territory of the Rain Country.

Walking on the muddy road, the patter of light rain leaned, but was resisted by the windbreaker, the two teams quickly came to a steep slope with lush grass under the guidance of the Yamanaka wind.

"There is a turbulent river ahead, and there are traces of Rain Shinobi's actions on the other side of the bank." Yamanaka wind controlled the Swifts to shuttle between the slanting wind and the light rain, reporting the detected situation concisely.

"Maybe it's a scout," Shiina said casually.

"Maybe." Xia Shu glanced at the other party and said lightly: "This terrain is just suitable for hiding and observing, Shiina-senpai, you are here to prepare to respond."

"Yes." Shiina had no objection, and said, "You can act now."

Xia Shu glanced over the three of Shiina's team, raised his hand and made a tactical gesture. Aburame Ryoma and Yamanaka Kaze disappeared instantly.

Shiina moved his gaze back, and then the pupils of her eyes suddenly contracted.

"That kid..." He actually didn't notice when this guy in front of him disappeared.

"What a great Body Flicker Technique." The root ninja on the left side of Shiina suddenly let out a chuckle of compliment.

Shiina and another root ninja fell silent when they heard the words, showing fear and respect invisibly.

Standing on the steep slope, the light rain was blowing with the cool breeze, the hat of the ninja windbreaker at the root was blown off, and his long black hair flew, exuding a mysterious and cold atmosphere.

...

"Insects hate humid environments, but they will still execute orders faithfully." A black mist of insects floated out of Aburame Ryoma's body and disappeared into sight.

The Aburame clan is Konoha’s famous insect-repellent clan. Relying on the abilities of insects in many aspects, detection is one of them. However, the insects obviously hindered their actions against the special environment of the Rain Country.

When Xia Shu heard this, she turned her head and looked at the Yamanaka wind who was controlling the Swift investigation.

"We have to continue to sneak in." Yamanaka Feng shook his head and said.

Although the way of manipulating Swift to investigate is very convenient, there are limitations on the distance. With the mental power of Yamanaka Wind, the target cannot be more than seven kilometers away, otherwise the contact will be interrupted.

"Then continue sneaking in." Xia Shu didn't hesitate and made a decision directly.

The three of them immediately got out of the grass and continued to sneak deeper into the country of rain.

The sky was densely covered with dark clouds, and it became deeper and deeper, and the rain gradually became heavier, and soon it turned into a pouring downpour.

The rain fell on the weeds, chaotic branches and the ground, and gradually a layer of mist floated, and there was a humid atmosphere everywhere.

"Insects can no longer be used for detection." Aburame Ryoma looked down at the insect lying on the back of his hand and reminded him.

"You don't need your bugs to investigate." Yamanaka Feng answered, pointing his finger into the misty distance, and said: "Rain Shinobi's camp has been found."

"Is there a sentinel in this direction?" Xia Shu turned to look at Aburame Ryoma and asked.

"There is one under the crooked neck tree less than two kilometers away, and one in the shadow of the big stone three kilometers away. The deeper one is unsure." Aburame Ryoma replied.

This is the information sent back by his bugs. It is not detailed, but it is enough to analyze something from it.

"A sentinel per kilometer?" Xia Shu whispered.

"Rain Shinobi camp is hidden in a mist-shrouded valley. According to this, there are about five kilometers away. Swift only detected a blurry scene, and this is not even the general situation of Rain Shinobi." Yamanaka Feng immediately reported. road.

"Analyzed in this way, there are at least three sentinels ahead, and there must be more Rain Shinobi ninjas guarding the valley." Xia Shu took off the mask, wiped the glasses lenses that were soaked by the rain, calmly analyzed, and then sighed: " However, the fog was covered and there was no way to know the enemy's situation, so I could only continue to sneak in."

"It seems so." Aburame Ryoma also sighed.

The strengths of the three have their own strengths, and when combined, they can be worthy of a Jōnin-level combat power and can be defeated.

However, if they encounter an elite Jōnin, the situation of the three will be in a precarious situation, and since Rain Shinobi dares to offend Konoha's heart, there will never be a shortage of elite Jōnin-level powerhouses.

Therefore, this infiltration operation will inevitably endanger the lives of the three.

But as ninjas, especially the root ninjas under Shimura Danzō, they have no other choice.

"The main way is to avoid the scouts." Xia Shu exhorted, and immediately jumped out, Aburame Ryoma and Yamanaka Feng followed closely behind.

Fortunately, the scout said that there must be a means of contact between the sentry, so if the sentry is easily killed, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy.

In this kind of weather, it is difficult for the scouts to act, so they will inevitably seek shelter from the rain, which confuses the three people's identification, and it is impossible to determine whether the bug found a scout or a sentry.

Therefore, it is natural to act cautiously, and if you can avoid it, you should avoid it.

The three of them bypassed the inconspicuous tree with crooked necks and the boulders standing on the side of the road, sneaking for more than one kilometer, and fortunately avoided the third sentry.

Then a misty valley was faintly visible not far away.

The hazy valley is draped in a green coat, which means that the Swifts controlled by the Yamanaka wind cannot easily find the Rain Shinobi ninja who may be hidden near the valley. If it goes deep again at this moment, it will be a test of luck.

"Adjust the state in place." Standing on the sturdy but slippery tree branch, Xia Shu threw a granary pill into her mouth and bit it into pieces, turning her head to the teammate next to her and said: "After the state is restored, act immediately."

"Yeah." Aburame Ryoma and Yamanaka Kaze responded in a low voice, each silently, and began to adjust.

Ten minutes later, the three of them bent over and bent their backs in a hidden place, and under the cover of heavy rain, they headed towards the side of the valley.

Their task is to sneak in to gather intelligence, not to attack as a vanguard, so the place where they sneaked into, the entrance of the most guarded valley is directly eliminated.

The west side of the valley is slightly low, the only option is the east side, and at this moment they are the closest to the east side, which can greatly avoid unexpected situations.

The three of them moved quickly, approaching the valley smoothly, and then plunged directly into the verdant forest.

At this moment, there is no need to say more about the word cautious, and he moved diagonally. When he reached half waist, a rustling voice came, and the three immediately stopped and followed the prestige.

A sturdy python wrapped around the tree, hovering upwards, suddenly the branches shook, and a black shadow jumped down from it, and the python moved along with it, suddenly opened its squalid mouth with a stench and swallowed the black shadow. , And then closed his mouth and swallowed it directly.
