Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 98 Preparation
In the early morning, the air is fresh and the fog is pervasive, as if covering the earth with a layer of cotton yarn. The mountains, trees, and rivers in the distance look faintly.

Lei Luo lay on a weedy hillock, squinted his eyes, and focused his gaze on the distance.

Two kilometers away from him, a group of looming buildings emerged in the thick fog, and the general layout resembled a village.

A small river runs across the center of the village and winds its way to the end of the field of vision.Scattered figures occasionally paddled near the river, not knowing what they were busy with.

Three days later, Lei Luo and Orochimaru had already left the camp and headed for the northern part of the Land of Rain.

The two traveled lightly. During the journey, Lei Luo used his perception ability without hesitation, allowing them to bypass Yuren's various heavy troops and easily reach the rear of Yuyin Village.

At this time, on this unremarkable hill, Lei Luo had been silently observing the destination for several hours by taking advantage of the height of the terrain, trying to grasp all the information and avoid accidents.

Orochimaru was also lying beside Lei Luo, with a thin layer of snake skin covering his body. This layer of snake skin had the effect of shielding perception, which was similar to the cloak Lei Luo was wearing.

Being in the rear of Yuyin, there are enemies in all directions. If Lei Luo and Orochimaru do not suddenly fall into a tight siege, caution is the minimum attitude.

After all, in terms of difficulty alone, this task has actually reached S-level. If you count the number of people who will execute it and the follow-up risks, it is not too much to say that it surpasses ordinary S-level tasks.

"How, what did you observe?" In this environment, Orochimaru couldn't help but put on a serious face, and asked in a low voice.

"There is a problem with your information, Orochimaru." Lei Luo withdrew his gaze, and glanced at his side lightly, "The number of Urenin is far from being as simple as hundreds of people. To be precise, it is 220 and three people."

"Among them, there are at least 20 upper ninjas, and more than 180 middle ninjas and lower ninjas. Apart from ninjas, there are also some ordinary people, who should be idlers."

"The most important thing is that there is a ninja whose chakra is far beyond the scope of ordinary ninjas, similar to the boiling rain I caught at the time."

Lei Luo's tone was turbulent. He really didn't expect that a small secret base would attract a shadow-level ninja.

"Boiling Rain? So you caught Boiling Rain." Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and some news he heard by chance gradually formed a thread in his mind, and an amazing guess was brewed in his heart.

But now is not the time to talk about this, Dashewan suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked quickly: "The task is so difficult... What are you going to do?"

Noticing that Orochimaru's face was a bit ugly, Lei Luo knew what the other party was worried about, so he immediately reassured Orochimaru's doubts: "Of course, we should lure out Yuren's leader first and kill him."

Lei Luo closed his eyes slightly, and while perceiving the position of the shadow-level ninja, he explained: "This guy has unknown intelligence and abilities. Keeping him in the base is too much of a threat to the follow-up battle plan."

Orochimaru looked at Lei Luo suspiciously, a little confused what the other party was thinking, "That guy is not a fool, how could he come out obediently alone? If Urenin is alarmed, it will be over."

"So I have been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to obtain basic information." Lei Luo sensed that a group of rain ninjas had just walked out of the village. There were about seven or eight people in them, and the corners of his mouth could not help but smile.

"Fortunately, now is the opportunity."

Lei Luo patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, and pointed to the Yuren who was gathering at the entrance of the village, "Did you see that? Those people are the information sent to you."

"Get ready, let's find a place to ambush, and make sure no one escapes."

Although Orochimaru didn't know what Lei Luo's plan was, obtaining information would be beneficial to the mission after all, so he nodded immediately and decided to follow Lei Luo's arrangement.

The ambush location was chosen in a forest five kilometers away from Yuren's base. This was to avoid too much movement and arouse the vigilance of Yuren in the base.

With Lei Luo's perception ability, coupled with the strength gap between the two sides, as well as mental calculations without intention, the result is: a total of eight Urenin ninjas did not make any resistance, and were all captured by Lei Luo and Orochimaru .

Although there are two Jōnin in the Urenin team, the gap between ordinary Jōnin and Lei Luo and Orochimaru is simply unreasonable.

In the quiet forest, Lei Luo squatted on the ground, pressed his palm on the head of a rain ninja jonin, and tried his best to use the telepathy technique to search for memories.

Because the battle ended too quickly, there were no traces left around. Orochimaru leaned against the tree trunk beside him, watching Lei Luo "work" boredly.

"If you're not mistaken, it should be the mysterious magic of the mountain clan..." Regarding Lei Luo's many cards and the wide range of ninjutsu he has mastered, Orochimaru is too lazy to complain.

Anyway, his Orochimaru has no friendship with the Yamanaka Clan, and the leak of the latter's secret technique has nothing to do with his Orochimaru.

After about half an hour, Lei Luo finished his work and looked up at Orochimaru, "That guy is called Sea Snake, and like Boiling Yu, he is a highly valued subordinate of Hanzo."

"Sea Snake?" Orochimaru chuckled, "I didn't expect such a name, but it made me a little interested."

"I suggest you not to be careless. There is very little information about the sea snake, and these little pawns don't know much."

Lei Luo glanced at the surrounding Yuren lying on the ground, and changed the subject: "But thanks to them, I know what I need to know, and I can move on to the next step."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you "interview" those Chunin and xiajin?" Orochimaru asked a little strangely.

Lei Luo had just finished reading the memories of the two Amano Jōnin, and there were still many prisoners. In Orochimaru's view, not letting go of any opportunity to obtain information is what a qualified ninja should do.

"The task of this group of rain ninjas is to deliver letters to Yuyin Village, and the round trip only takes a short day." Lei Luo frowned and explained. At the same time, he drew out a long knife and stabbed it directly into the neck of a rain ninja under his feet.

While repairing the knife, Lei Luo ordered: "We don't have much time, we need to do it as soon as possible. You prepare a soil escape to cover up the corpses of these guys, so as not to cause trouble."

"It's really good at calling people." Although Orochimaru was complaining in his mouth, he still performed ninjutsu obediently.

It is reasonable for Lei Luo to be anxious to act. As long as the group of rain ninjas do not return to the city in time, the sea snakes in the base will definitely be more vigilant.

At that time, no matter what plans Lei Luo has, the difficulty of successfully attracting the sea snake will inevitably increase exponentially.

And Lei Luo really didn't want to fight with a well-prepared Kage-level ninja, several large salamanders, and nearly [-] rain ninjas in the rain ninja base full of poisonous fog and traps. The risk was too great.

With the continuous roar of earth and rocks, all the killings were covered up, and the original place quickly returned to normal, only some weeds disappeared due to the tumbling of the soil, making the ground look bare.

"By the way, you take this well." Seeing that the scene was cleaned up, Lei Luo took out a "trophy" he had just seized from his bosom and threw it to Orochimaru.

After catching it backhanded, Orochimaru asked suspiciously: "Gas mask? What are you doing for me?"

Orochimaru asked knowingly, obviously there was something in the words. Lei Luo knew that the other party didn't want to enter the Urenin base to fight, so he explained: "You may need to take action later, so make some preparations in advance."

"This..." Orochimaru looked a little embarrassed, and said tactfully, "This is different from what we agreed on."

"Relax, I don't need you to accompany me in." Lei Luo squinted at Orochimaru, as if he was extremely disdainful of Orochimaru's timidity.

But after thinking about it, Lei Luo still decided to tell the truth about his plan, lest Orochimaru would have doubts at the critical moment and refuse to do his best.
