Chapter 308

"My lord, why don't you let me escort you out of the Rain Village now."

After some hesitation, Hoshigaki Kisame still voiced the thoughts in his heart; in his view, Mizunuki Ryosuke, as the absolute core of Kirigakure, must never encounter danger here.

Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just smiled and shook his head.

He naturally saw Hoshigaki Kisame's worry, but he was somewhat indifferent to it.

In Hoshigaki Kisame's view, the slaughter at the casino just now had already caused the Rain Ninjas to become enemies.

It was understandable for Kisame to have such thinking, because the blood of the Rain Ninjas on his hands hadn't dried yet, and they could only be enemies with the Rain Ninjas.

But in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes, it was another matter entirely.

Still the same saying: he didn't intend to be enemies with the Rain Ninjas when he came here this time.

On the contrary, he would soon become an honored guest of Sanshouuo Hanzo.

"It's fine, since the path of searching for intelligence in the dark doesn't work."

"Then I will take you on another one."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile; this unfathomable expression also left Hoshigaki Kisame somewhat confused.

He couldn't understand what other intelligence channels Ryosuke, who had never been to the Rain Village before, could have?

Could it be that Mizunuki Ryosuke had some arrangements he didn't know about?

"Let's go, take me to Sanshouuo Hanzo's residence."

But who would have thought that Mizunuki Ryosuke's next words would make Hoshigaki Kisame turn pale with fright.

What was going on?

Go to the place where Sanshouuo Hanzo lived? Wasn't that throwing himself into the net?

Hoshigaki Kisame originally thought Mizunuki Ryosuke was joking, but when he saw the expression on Ryosuke's face, Kisame immediately became serious again.

Because he knew that whenever Ryosuke showed this expression, it meant this order was not up for negotiation.

"Yes!"

Forcibly suppressing the doubts in his heart, Hoshigaki Kisame could only respond decisively.

"My lord, let me take you through the underground water pipes."

Hoshigaki Kisame then proposed; it wouldn't be long before the streets of the Rain Village would be filled with Rain Ninjas.

Due to the Land of Rain's year-round rainy environment, to prevent water accumulation inside the town, the Rain Village had extremely wide and interconnected underground pipes; at this time, they could just happen to use them to avoid the pursuit of the Rain Ninjas on the surface.

"No need."

They weren't Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so Ryosuke naturally had no fondness for going through the sewers.

Compared to going through the sewers, Ryosuke had a better way.

At that moment, Ryosuke formed hand seals with one hand.

Countless prisms made of ice appeared in the air.

Subsequently, the prisms quickly surrounded Kisame and Ryosuke, forming a sealed mirror space.

The next moment, the figures of the two disappeared from where they were, forming a perfect camouflage.

It was the Secret Technique: Demonic Mirroring Illusion, which had been offline for a long time.

Hoshigaki Kisame didn't have time to be surprised; under Ryosuke's urging, he took Ryosuke and quickly rushed toward the residence of the Rain Village leader, Sanshouuo Hanzo.

On the other side, Tsunade, who had escaped the Rain Ninjas' encirclement, also felt a bit uneasy.

The reason she had left so easily just now was precisely because Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hoshigaki Kisame were creating a distraction at the front.

And this also made Tsunade's strange feelings toward Mizunuki Ryosuke grow more and more intense.

But at this moment, it was clearly not the time to dwell on these things.

Rich mission experience told Tsunade that now was the best time to leave the Rain Village.

If she missed this time, the Rain Village would inevitably be under full martial law, and by then, wanting to leave would be extremely difficult.

But leaving just like this, Tsunade was extremely unwilling in her heart.

Added to the fact that the Rain Ninjas she encountered earlier were mostly vulnerable, it gave Tsunade some different ideas.

The chaos in the Rain Village would cause the Rain Ninjas to use a large amount of their strength for martial law and searching, to the point that even the Rain Ninjas' leader, Sanshouuo Hanzo, might be mobilized.

Everything has two sides, which also means...

The defense of some important Rain Ninja institutions would be relatively lax.

Especially Sanshouuo Hanzo's residence!

At this moment, Tsunade had already concluded that the spies sent by Konoha to the Rain Village earlier had all been purged.

And regarding these spies, the Rain Ninjas would definitely squeeze out their remaining value and intelligence; the possible result wasn't direct execution, but first undergoing some harsh torture.

If Tsunade could find these spies in time, perhaps these Konoha spies might still have a glimmer of life left.

Furthermore, even if she couldn't find these Konoha spies, as long as she successfully entered Sanshouuo Hanzo's mansion, she might be able to obtain some top-secret intelligence to determine the Rain Ninjas' movements; this was much more valuable than saving a few spies.

And these Rain Ninjas would definitely never imagine that she would actually run to the Rain Ninjas' leader's residence at this time.

At worst, if she were discovered halfway, she would just run.

Thinking of this, a flash of determination crossed Tsunade's eyes.

Tsunade, who was still young at this moment, clearly didn't know what fear and hesitation were.

Almost just as soon as she thought of this matter, Tsunade prepared to take action immediately.

Tsunade also realized that the streets would be filled with patrolling Rain Ninjas, so she directly pinpointed a location and entered the Rain Village's drainage system.

The Rain Ninjas' drainage system was indeed very wide, and the inside wasn't as filthy as she had imagined.

Since she could think of it, the Rain Ninjas must also be able to think of the loopholes in the drainage system.

So Tsunade estimated that at some key nodes in the drainage system, there might be Rain Ninjas guarding them.

Therefore, Tsunade chose to take a detour in the already winding drainage system.

Tsunade paused in place for a moment, and after a slight consideration, she chose a direction and continued moving forward.

Hoshigaki Kisame led Mizunuki Ryosuke, right in front of the Rain Ninjas filling the streets, and just like that, moved toward Sanshouuo Hanzo's residence.

This magical feeling had once made Hoshigaki Kisame feel somewhat strange.

Hoshigaki Kisame looked toward a squad of Rain Ninjas that had just brushed past them.

Clearly, the two of them were right in front of these Rain Ninjas, but these Rain Ninjas just couldn't discover them; was this the thrill of "invisibility"?

While sighing at this peculiar feeling, Hoshigaki Kisame felt even more respect for Mizunuki Ryosuke on the other side.

In Hoshigaki Kisame's eyes, Mizunuki Ryosuke always carried an unfathomable aura.

Ryosuke's strength was like an abyss that could never be fathomed.

Whenever you thought this was the entirety of the abyss, you would eventually discover that the abyss actually had no end.

Without their mobility being restricted, Ryosuke and Hoshigaki Kisame arrived at Sanshouuo Hanzo's residence without any effort.

Mizunuki Ryosuke scanned Sanshouuo Hanzo's mansion, a trace of interest rising slightly in his eyes.

This was a quite impressive mansion, with a total land area of at least nearly ten acres.

And under the night, this mansion was pitch black, as if there were no one there.

"Interesting."

After saying this to himself in his heart, a flash of ice-blue light crossed Ryosuke's eyes.

Under the effect of thermal detection, Ryosuke could clearly see the distribution of heat in this impressive mansion.

Counting roughly, there were actually nearly three digits of Rain Ninjas responsible for guarding the mansion.
