The Shadow of Konoha

Konoha is preparing to first carry out the invasion of Amegakure. There are about fifty ninja teams in total, and each team is composed of powerful elite ninjas. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the combat. The problem is that with the current communication capabilities of the village, once the surprise attack begins, there is no way to accurately control and communicate with each team.

The delay in communication will inevitably cause the team to fight on their own, and fighting on their own in such an extremely dangerous environment will be a great test of the captains' on-the-spot judgment and command capabilities.

When to advance or retreat, when to attack and defend, when to attack aggressively or defend prudently, everything requires on-the-spot judgment.

Although Konoha's war preparations were not very large-scale, Rain should have had a corresponding sense of war. After all, the world war had been going on for such a long time, it was impossible for them to be unaware of the enemy's movements.

In a dense forest just ten kilometers north of Amegakure Village, one quarter of Konoha's combat force, twelve teams, are hiding here.

Konoha had infiltrated to such a close distance, but Amegakure had no way to respond in time. This showed to what extent Amegakure's power had weakened and shrunk amid the wear and waning of combat power caused by years of war.

"The ninjas on the periphery will provide us with surveillance and reconnaissance of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sandgakure, and will deploy forces to be ready to support or assist us at any time. Even the Third Hokage has already reached the front line.

Even though our mission is extremely dangerous, victory is something that Konoha is determined to achieve.

Our first task is to break into Rain, collect intelligence during the battle, and find the whereabouts of the leader of this village, 'Tanuki'. The team that confirms the location information of the enemy leader must send a signal in time, and then we will gather all our strength to get rid of him in one go... This operation mission can be summarized like this.

Note that the leader of Rain is the backbone of the village's tenacious resistance. He has an unusually high level of control and prestige over Amegakure, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a hero of the entire country.

There is no doubt about his strength, so we must act according to the plan. Even if we have determined his location, a single team should not act rashly, otherwise you will only put yourself in danger...

Do you understand? "

The captain of this branch team of Konoha said so. He has a pair of distinctive white eyes and is a ninja from the Hyuga clan of Konoha.

All the operational instructions had actually been determined before arriving here, but it was the captain's job to make the final confirmation.

"Understood."

Here, all the ninjas responded one after another.

As the leader of a small ninja village, he led Amegakure in an unyielding resistance during the Ninja World War in which the big countries were fighting each other. That ninja named Tanuki was indeed a hero of this country. However, it was precisely because of his influence that Konoha had to get rid of him... Only a dead hero of the enemy country can be a good hero.

"Okay, the last ten minutes before the mission begins..."

The squad leader's instructions were extremely concise. The four Konoha intrusion teams stationed in different positions had agreed that the battle would begin in ten minutes.

Then, there was a long and silent waiting time.

Gradually, as the action approached, the breathing of the ninjas became clearly audible, until the squad leader spoke again and uttered two more words:

"action!"

Without any hesitation, the team rushed out of the dense forest quickly, and then pierced into Amegakure like a sharp knife. The distance of ten kilometers was gone in a flash.

It was early morning, and this was the Rain Country with no rain today.

Through the slightly dim light, the shadowy tower forest in front appeared in Hanyu's sight. This kind of building with spires was created to adapt to the rainy environment of the Rain Country, and it is also the most typical feature of Amegakure.

"Disperse!"

With almost no hindrance, the Konoha ninjas rushed into the tower forest of Amegakure, and then dispersed.

For a ninja village, it is unrealistic to open a large-scale defensive barrier for a long time. Even Konoha cannot do that. Therefore, most of the barriers opened by ninja villages to protect themselves are just perception barriers, which are the kind of perception barriers used to identify the intrusion of strange ninjas.

The ninja village's defense system is a passive defense system that detects intrusion and sends out ninjas to deal with it.

Therefore, the Rain Village, which had been very silent until just now, must have noticed the enemy's invasion at this time... If its basic functions as a ninja village can still function normally, it will definitely be like this.

Hanyu and his team rushed into Amegakure, and then climbed to the top of a spire, overlooking this other ninja village that was completely different from Konoha.

"What kind of ninja is there in this picture? Can't we just fight casually if a magician appears?" After observing for a while, Hanyu said this... This was the only joke he made during this important combat week that no one could understand.

"What did you say, Hanyu?"

"No, nothing.

You have to follow me next." Hanyu certainly didn't explain anything to them.

The early morning is deep and quiet. Amegakure is a village with great style and full of art. The so-called artistic village is the kind of village that may explode at any time.

Accompanied by balls of red flames rising from all over Amegakure and violent explosions, the Konoha ninjas who invaded the village immediately began fighting with the Amegakure ninjas.

"Let's get started too."

The mask on his face made Hanyu's voice muffled, and no one, including himself, could see his expression at the moment.

Hanyu formed seals with his hands at an unusually fast speed, and then lightning began to appear on his body. Then he loosened his feet and fell from the towering spire.

"Hanyu…"

Jiraiya tried to call out to Hanyu from behind. As expected, he felt that there was something wrong with Hanyu today. Seeing that Hanyu ignored him, he had to say to the two people beside him, "Hanyu seems a little uncalm . Let's hurry up and catch up."

"No," Orochimaru stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, stopping Jiraiya who seemed a little flustered, and then said, "Don't be anxious, Jiraiya, Hanyu is not uncalm today, but too cold, so cold that it is difficult for people to approach him.

I think we should just keep this distance and follow behind him, Tsunade...did anything happen to him in the village?"

Tsunade shook her head in confusion. She didn't think Hanyu had experienced anything special in the village.

"No matter what, don't get too close to him, and don't get too far away from him. This is Amegakure. It's dangerous to be too far away, but for Hanyu now, it's more dangerous to be too close." Finally, Orochimaru said with certainty.
