Konoha: Starting from Sage Transformation

After confirming that everything was safe, the White Fang team set off again.

However, Hatake Sakumo decisively changed his route. Instead of directly passing through the River Country bordering the Fire Country and then entering the Wind Country, he chose to enter the Rain Country first and then enter the Wind Country.

After changing the route of action, the White Fang team's next journey went very smoothly. Until they reached the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, they still encountered no more enemy attacks.

Due to the targeted attack and the first murder, Naoki's original excitement about knowing that he was going to perform a high-level mission suddenly disappeared a lot. He no longer took the risk and walked ahead, but followed Sakumo Hatake honestly, and then Form a three-talent formation with Kirito and Chizuru.

Just before dark, the White Fang team finally approached the border of the Land of Rain.

At this time, the sky quickly became gray, and the entire sky was covered with thick rain clouds.

Not long after, a heavy rain began to fall.

Team White Fang and others quickly put on their raincoats and continued on their way.

Half an hour later, White Fang's team stopped in front of a fast-flowing river.

This is a river with a very wide width, nearly three kilometers. Under heavy rain, unless you are a white-eyed ninja, you can't see the situation on the other side of the river at all.

The dividing line between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain is the big river White Fang Team. Because the river flows very fast, people from the Land of Fire generally have to cross some bridges on the border if they want to enter the Land of Rain.

There is a bridge not far away from White Fang's team. It is called a bridge, but in fact it is just a long iron cable connecting the other side of the river.

For ordinary people, this iron cable cannot be used as a bridge to cross the river, but for ninjas, this is enough.

"The Kingdom of Rain is ahead. Remember, keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. It has only been more than a year since the war between Konoha and Amegakure ended. Therefore, many people in the Kingdom of Rain are quite hostile to us Konoha ninjas. If you are provoked, you must not act impulsively, especially Naoshu. You have a special status, and you must not act impulsively, otherwise you may be used by someone with intentions to deliberately create conflicts between Konoha and Amegakure."

Hatake Sakumo led Kirito and others to the iron rope, then turned around and said to the three of them.

"Ha~"

The three of them said in unison.

After Hatake Sakumo finished speaking, Kirito said: "Hatake-sensei, there are many people on the other side of the river. It is not safe to cross by this iron rope alone."

"Are there many people?"

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"There are twenty people. Judging from the amount of chakra, there is one jounin, three chunin, and the rest are genin."

Kirito immediately responded.

As his level of natural energy cultivation increases, his ability to perceive natural energy is also constantly improving. Although the range of perception cannot be compared with the soul perception, which has a coverage area of ​​almost six kilometers, it is already close to three kilometers.

"Are you here for me again?"

Naoshu said through gritted teeth.

After encountering a targeted attack and deeply feeling the malice from external enemies towards him, his whole body is now very sensitive.

"It doesn't look like that. They are probably the border guards from Yuyin Village."

Kirito patted Naoki's shoulder with his hand, asking him to calm down and express his inference.

"Even if they come for you, we are not afraid. We can just kill them all."

Chizuru on the side said nonchalantly.

In her opinion, as long as the number of people coming does not exceed a hundred, the number of Jonin does not exceed twenty, and no Kage-level experts appear, the so-called attack is not a big deal, and their White Fang team can handle it.

"Chizuru, our White Fang team is here to perform a secret mission. Unnecessary battles must be avoided as much as possible. Our whereabouts must be kept as secret as possible."

Hatake Sakumo reminded.

Chizuru remained silent and just nodded to express his obedience.

"Kirito, find a weak spot, and then we can forcefully complete the crossing."

When Hatake Sakumo saw Chizuru nodding, he turned to Kirito and said.

"I understand, come with me."

Kirito replied immediately, and then ran quickly at the front, with the other three quickly following up.

At the same time, on the other side of the river, a group of rain ninjas were guarding the other side of the iron rope. One of the young blue-haired kunoichi suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Master Onizou, there should be a sentient ninja among those four. They have discovered us and are starting to move away from us. Do they want to send a signal to others on the border?"

She is the only sentient ninja here. Relying on the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, she can use the rain that naturally falls from the sky to monitor every move within a five-kilometer radius.

As soon as these words came out, the other rain ninjas around them all looked at the strongest person in the team, a one-armed rain ninja carrying a big sword on his back.

"Hmph, they are sensible and have not made a breakthrough from our side. Masaki-sama has said that any ninja who sneaks into our Country of Rain without permission must be intercepted as much as possible. Even if the interception cannot be intercepted, the identity of the other party must be confirmed. , you immediately send a signal to notify others."

The one-armed rain ninja Kizo stared at the other side of the river with a murderous look on his face and said coldly.

"However, the people opposite should be Konoha ninjas. Our Amegakure and Konoha are now in a cooperative relationship, so it should be okay to let them in."

A fat, middle-aged rain ninja whispered.

"What are you talking about? Do you know how many of us those guys in Konoha have killed? Just because Konoha gave you weaklings a few bones, are you going to be humble to them? Behind you is our country, not what A place where people can easily sneak in.”

Kizo immediately turned around, looked at Fat Rain Ninja with murderous eyes, and yelled loudly.

How could the middle-aged Amegakure withstand the momentum of Kizo, a jounin who survived the war between Konoha and Amegakure? According to rumors, the opponent was a powerful ninja capable of killing Uchiha jounin, and he was able to kill him on the battlefield. The title of Dato Onizou.

Being stared at by Kizo, his fat face instantly turned pale. He lowered his head and took a few steps back, not daring to look at the one-armed rain ninja.

"Hmph, you're a piece of trash without balls."

Seeing the cowardly appearance of the middle-aged Rain-nin, the one-armed Rain-nin lost all intention of continuing to care and said sarcastically.

However, he could not help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Since Amegakure Village was defeated by Konoha, many ninjas in the village who survived the war have developed a strong fear of Konoha, and they always appear timid when facing anything with Konoha. .

Now that Amegakure has reached cooperation with Konoha, this situation has become even more serious.

If most of the Ame ninjas are like this coward, when will the rise of the Ame Hidden Village mentioned by Hattori Masashige be realized?

Sure enough, as Master Hattori Masashige said, Amegakure now needs a new life.

As soon as he thought about this, Onizo looked at the other young Ameno ninjas around him. Most of these young Amae ninjas were genin, but they all had the kind of firm and decisive look in their eyes that the middle-aged Amenonin did not have. He couldn't help but said loudly with joy. :

"Remember, you are the ninjas of the Rain Hidden Village in the Land of Rain, not Konoha's lackeys. If anyone dares to say the weak words just now, don't blame me for being rude. Now, send me the signal immediately."

"Ha~"

All the young rain ninjas answered loudly in unison.

"Hehehe~, a bunch of self-righteous losers."

Suddenly, a cold sneer appeared in the ears of all the rain ninjas.

"over there!"

The blue-haired kunoichi heard the sound and immediately pointed in a certain direction and said loudly.

Onizou reacted the fastest. He immediately pulled out the sword on his back, used chakra sprint, and rushed towards the direction pointed by the blue-haired kunoichi.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a white-haired ninja, his heart trembled, and then he said loudly: "All retreat, and bring the news of Konoha White Fang's arrival to the Rain Country back to the village."

"Just because you want to stop me, you will all die today if you see my appearance."

Hatake Sakumo sneered, and then pulled out the White Fang dagger.

How could Kizo not know the reputation of Konoha White Fang? Many of his companions died on the battlefield between Konoha and Amegakure.

When he first met Hatake Sakumo, he was still a chuunin. He saw with his own eyes that he killed two jounin among hundreds of rain ninjas in an instant, and then left in a daze.

It can be said that he was able to survive until now because Konoha White Fang regarded him as an ant and thought that he was not qualified to let him use the sword, so he saved a small life.

Onizo has always been brooding about this and regards it as the greatest shame in his life.

Now, he saw Hatake Sakumo again. Although he still had fear in his heart, the anger and bloodiness far outweighed the fear. He instantly put a layer of water escape chakra on the big sword in his hand, letting a wave of water escape chakra wrap around the blade. Spiral water flow.

"watch out!"

Onizou shouted loudly, and before he could get completely close to Hatake Sakumo, he swung his sword at him.

In an instant, a huge wave appeared and rolled towards Hatake Sakumo at high speed.

The secret of Amegakure swordsmanship: Wave strike!

The next second, the scene where Onizou imagined Hatake Sakumo would dodge did not appear. Hatake Sakumo was actually directly hit by his sword technique. The wave was actually as hard as steel and hit Hatake. On Ki Sakumo, his whole body was crushed into a pulp.

"Konoha White Fang was killed by me so easily?"

Kizo thought in shock as he looked at the scene in front of him.

But soon, he realized something. He immediately put down the sword in his hand and formed a seal with one hand to release the illusion. The picture in front of him suddenly shattered and disappeared like a mirror, and the real world picture reappeared in his eyes. .

The Konoha White Fang seen before was replaced by a man in black wearing a pig mask.

At the same time, he heard the painful screams of his companions.

He couldn't help turning around and saw that his companions were killing each other with red eyes.

"What are you doing? Stop it quickly."

Onizo watched his companions kill each other one by one, dealing with grief and anger, and then wanted to go over and stop them.

But the pig-masked man suddenly appeared in front and sneered: "What's the name of the ghost? Isn't it good to let them die without pain?"

When Onizo heard this voice, his consciousness suddenly blurred, and then he immediately woke up, but the scene in front of him had changed, and Hatake Sakumo's figure appeared again.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo pulled out the White Fang dagger again.

Then, a dazzling sword light appeared in Guizang's eyes, and then he couldn't see anything clearly, and his eyes fell into darkness.

In reality, Onizo slashed his neck with his own sword with a confused look on his face, successfully killing himself.

"As expected of the elite of the Kurama clan, the illusions are powerful, but those few Amegakure ninjas who escaped really know the information about Hatake Sakumo and others' attack on the Amegakure border troops and brought them back."

In the shadow of a stone not far away, the rabbit-masked man slowly walked out. He looked at the group of rain ninjas lying in a pool of blood in front of him, with a cold look in his eyes, and then said to the pig-masked man.

"What do you think?"

The pig masked man said coldly.

When the man in the rabbit mask heard the sound, his expression changed, because he found that he was surrounded by the White Fang team, but as soon as he blinked, he realized that the White Fang team was not at all, and the group of rain ninjas lying in a pool of blood were still in front of him. .

By this time, the pig mask man had disappeared.

"This guy's voice illusion technique actually affected me, a Jonin who is good at using Yin Escape Secret Technique."

The man in the rabbit mask was shocked to find out that he had just been under an illusion.

Then, he took a deep breath, then released a seal with both hands, and the shadow under him shot out a large number of shadow tentacles, and then threw all the dead rain ninjas in front into the river in front.

Regardless, their goal was achieved.

On the other side, across the river.

Kirito, who was looking for the best place for the White Fang team to sneak across the border, suddenly stopped, then turned his head to look at the place where Kizo was waiting for the rain ninja to die.

"Kirito, what happened?"

Hatake Sakumo asked immediately.

"The group of people on the other side of the river were just killed, and only one chuunin escaped."

Kirito answered truthfully.

Relying on the soul perception brought by the spiritual transformation technique, he just discovered that the flexible fires of Guizang and others were extinguished one after another.

When Hatake Sakumo and Chizuru heard the news, their faces suddenly showed serious expressions, feeling that something was not right.

Even the simple-minded Shengshu felt something was wrong at this time and said doubtfully: "They were killed just after we left. Is it such a coincidence?"

"Cross the river immediately, we can't stay here for long."

Hatake Sakumo made a quick decision.

After saying that, he took the lead and jumped into the fast-flowing river ahead. Relying on the technique of condensing chakra in the soles of his feet, he quickly moved forward on the windy and turbulent river surface.

Kirito and the other three quickly followed.

At this time, the time has come to test chakra control.

On this river with frequent waves and fast currents, it would be much more difficult for ninjas to move on the water as usual.

Kirito and Chizuru were fine, but Nezuki, who had the worst chakra control among the three, was in misery and almost fell into the river several times.

With no other choice, Kirito had no choice but to wrap the chakra thread around the tree, pull him up to prevent him from actually falling into the river, and continue moving forward with him.

"Boom~"

The four of them were halfway across the river when a huge lightning suddenly flashed in the sky and a deafening thunder appeared.

The next moment, the four people's expressions changed and they immediately dispersed. A huge yellow lightning suddenly fell from the sky and landed on their team's original position.

"Be careful, something is coming up from below."

At the same time, Kirito shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, eight long tentacles shot out from the water, and they all quickly stretched towards the rope tree.
