Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

031 Hidden Cloud Strikes

The sky was dark, with dark clouds rolling in, covering the moonlight and stars.

Hundreds of black shadows shuttled through the gaps between tree trunks and branches, startling the birds and beasts in the forest.

Suddenly, a trumpet sounded, and the march of the Konoha ninja army stopped. They stopped in the tree trunk forest and looked around with wary eyes, as if some beast would suddenly emerge from the darkness.

The commander who ordered the troops to stop was standing on a treetop, looking into the night in the distance.

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Sure enough, something is wrong."

Now, the Konoha troops have penetrated deep into the area controlled by Kumogakure, but the expected blockade has not arrived.

Some Kumo ninja wandered around the boundary of Byakugan's field of vision and did not harass the march, as if just to confirm the position of the Konoha ninja army.

"What exactly does Kumogakure want to do? Want to eat this army in one bite? No, this is impossible."

Orochimaru mentally rejected this idea. It wasn't that it was impossible, but it was the most unfavorable method for Kumogakure.

Kumogakure Village had the advantage of attacking first this time. When the Konoha ninja army was on their way, their fortress on the border of the Land of Fire had been initially built, and they came to fight Konoha head-on after being well fed.

And Yunyin's intentions analyzed from the very beginning also determined that they would not be so radical.

"However, they still put on a show of determination."

Orochimaru showed an expression of interest on his face and said to himself, "So, instead of desperately destroying this ninja army, we must try our best to prevent us from having a stronghold."

From Kumogakure's point of view, this is indeed the most beneficial to them.

If the Konoha troops do not occupy the fortress, they will always need to beware of surprise attacks from them. It is entirely up to them to decide whether to harass or fight.

Unless you exit the area controlled by Kumogakure, you will have no choice but to run around here.

Orochimaru also thought of this, but at first he thought that the opponent would use harassment and interception to cut the flesh with a soft knife, but he did not expect that the opponent would hit him with one blow.

Orochimaru raised his eyes and looked deep into the forest. There seemed to be a beast dotted in the shadow, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

By doing this, Kumogakure really caught the weakness of the Konoha ninja army.

Destruction is always easier than protection, and even Orochimaru cannot guarantee that he can successfully defend the fortress under Kumogakure's siege.

Not to mention, the opponent also has two jinchūriki who can transform into tailed beasts.

Kumogakure is greedier and braver than he thought, and a fierce battle will begin from the beginning.

Orochimaru shook his head, the current situation was too clear, and this was not a good thing.

Now, Kumogakure is focusing his efforts on surveillance instead of harassment. It is not easy to cause trouble under their noses.

By messing up the situation, you can fish in troubled waters and find an opportunity to activate the fortress's defensive barrier.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru said, "Fugaku, summon the barrier team."

He planned to advance the division of troops that he had decided on before.

Different from the general type, Konoha's highest-level fortress is not only extremely secretive, but also follows the strategy of three cunning rabbits. It is not just one.

When building it, two fake ones will also be built to cover the ears and eyes and confuse the enemy.

Orochimaru originally planned to use the Ninja Army and a fake fort as a cover to activate the defensive barrier of the real fort, but with Kumogakure's current intensity of tracking, the probability of success in doing so was too low.

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku ordered the tribesmen around him. After a while, four teams of four appeared in front of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru selected two of them and gave instructions to the guards beside him,

"Shisui, Kakashi, each of you will lead a Jonin team and escort them to the designated location. Be sure to activate the fortress formation."

"Yes!" Two figures jumped out from the crowd and disappeared into the woods with two teams respectively.

A trace of worry flashed in Fugaku's eyes, "Lord Orochimaru, if we divide our troops at this time, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, this is not a competition in terms of combat power."

Orochimaru glanced at Fugaku and said slowly, "Two teams, one is covering for the other, and the probability of success is very high.

Both of them are the most elite Jonin and know what to do."

"Besides, with us as a check, Yunyin will not and dare not distract too much energy."

"Put away the distracting thoughts that you shouldn't have. There will be a fierce battle next."

In the deep night, a figure jumped out and said respectfully, "Lord Raikage, Konoha has indeed divided its forces, and a small team has rushed towards the southeast."

The Fourth Raikage didn't even raise his head and asked angrily, "How is your strength?"

"Four chuunin and four Uchiha jounin are very strong. One of them seems to be 'Shunshen Shisui', and there are two teams of four, which seem to be the barrier team."

Although Yun Ninja was guessing, his tone was very confirming. He obviously knew the ninjas of Konoha very well, "The surveillance team we released did not dare to alert the snake. After the test, they retreated directly. Now they are watching from a distance."

On the side, two Yuki people suddenly interrupted, "Sir, considering the size of the Konoha ninja army, the four Uchiha jounin are also quite powerful. Their destination must be to activate the fortress."

The Fourth Raikage nodded, "It is possible, but we cannot ignore that this small team is providing cover for the larger army."

Yukito was full of confidence, "Sir, let me deal with them. There are only four jounin. I can deal with them by myself."

It's true that with the strength of the two-tailed jinchūriki to deal with four ordinary jounin, it won't take much effort, but this is Uchiha...

The Fourth Raikage frowned and said, "Yukito, you are bringing a Jonin team as support."

Before she could speak bravely, Lei Ying said again, "It doesn't matter whether we get rid of them or not. The first priority is to destroy the target fortress."

Yukito opened his mouth, and under Raikage's stern gaze, he could only say, "Yes!"

After saying that, he jumped up and disappeared into the night. A jounin and three chuunin quickly followed him.

"Hey, brother, do you want to make a bet?" Kirabi said in a strange tone, "Guess whether this team is responsible for the real fortress."

"Whether it's true or not, they can't succeed. The Yumu people will deal with them."

The Fourth Raikage glared at Kirabi and said solemnly, "Moreover, we will never let them succeed..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a huge explosion in the forest, and then a conspicuous light pillar appeared in the dim night sky.

Looking up at this pillar of light that was so obvious in the dark night, the Fourth Raikage said with a ferocious smile, "Is Konoha issuing a challenge to me?"

"Khilabi, come with me to meet them!"

A few miles away, Orochimaru, with the help of the barrier team, wrapped a building so that its only function was to shine.

Fugaku's eyes twitched, "Lord Orochimaru, this is too obvious."

"Ha, it just needs to be obvious." Orochimaru sneered, "Even if everyone knows it is a fake, Yunyin Village will not dare to treat him as a fake."
