Chapter 833: , A Confrontation Under the Night

After a period of deep contemplation, Mizunuki Ryosuke already had the answer in his heart.

Subsequently, with a serious expression in his eyes, he spoke softly to Tsunade in his arms.

"Little Tsun, listen to me."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's expression also became slightly more solemn; she knew this was the "expert" about to "offer advice" to Konoha.

""

After a secret conversation, no one knew exactly what the two had said.

Tsunade only left the summit in a hurry, leaving Mizunuki Ryosuke standing there alone.

For a long time, Mizunuki Ryosuke's hand couldn't help but reach behind him, slowly rubbing his lower back twice, and then he revealed a bitter smile.

"Sure enough, there are only tired oxen to death; the ancients did not deceive me."

Mizunuki Ryosuke sighed faintly and slowly shook his head.

At midnight, under the pitch-black night sky, countless ninjas wearing black rubber raincoats, their entire bodies darker than the night itself, approached the border of the Land of Fire, accompanied by the rain curtain of the Land of Rain.

Their expressions were solemn, their eyes cold, and they did not make a single sound while advancing.

If seen by someone in the middle of the night, they would likely only think it was some ominous supernatural phenomenon.

Before long, the pitch-black ninjas spotted the hazy firelight in the distance; they looked at each other one by one, seeing the profoundness in each other's eyes.

"Puchi!!!!"

A sharp blade pierced through the throat, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the tear in the throat.

"Heh, heh..."

A Konoha ninja on sentry duty widened his eyes in disbelief; because his throat had been slit, he could only make an extremely faint sound.

Accompanied by a large amount of blood surging back into his throat, this Konoha ninja fell to the ground forever.

"Puchichi!!!!"

The sound of sharp blades entering flesh was incessant for a time, and scenes similar to the previous one kept happening in various places along this border.

For tonight's surprise attack, Hanzo had clearly been planning for a long time.

After several probes, Hanzo finally determined that the sentry posts in this part of the border area were the weakest part of Konoha's defense.

Therefore, he chose to break through the border here and enter the Land of Fire.

For Rain ninjas who specialize in assassination and ambushes, such a mission was simply their old trade, so they were exceptionally handy when acting.

The Rain ninjas actually crossed the border easily without alerting anyone.

And this was only the first checkpoint; to reach the real Konoha camp, they still needed to cross several tight cordons set up by Konoha ninjas.

As the assassination operation ended, a man with a breathing mask on his face and long dark green hair, carrying a flying sickle, crossed the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, surrounded by a crowd of Rain ninjas.

He was none other than the focus of the current Ninja World, the leader of the Rain ninjas, Salamander Hanzo.

Subsequently, he glanced at his feet, at a boundary marker symbolizing the dividing line between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, and a trace of profoundness flashed in his eyes.

"Tseng!"

With a crisp hum, a dazzling blade light appeared exceptionally clear in the dark night.

As Salamander Hanzo swung the flying sickle in his hand, the boundary marker at his feet was instantly split in two.

Although he did not say a word, the meaning of this act was already quite clear.

At this moment, the group of Rain ninjas beside him felt their breathing become a bit hurried, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in their eyes one after another.

Salamander Hanzo gave a look to his trusted aide beside him without changing his expression, and seeing the aide reveal a look of understanding, he then strode forward without looking back.

Seeing Salamander Hanzo continue to advance, the aide turned and issued orders to several Rain ninjas beside him.

Immediately, there were Rain ninjas who took off the clothes of the Konoha ninjas who had been killed earlier, put them on themselves, and wore Konoha forehead protectors.

As long as one didn't investigate carefully, it would be absolutely impossible to discover that the Konoha sentry posts nearby were actually disguised Rain ninjas.

Seeing this, the aide nodded with satisfaction and followed Salamander Hanzo's footsteps away.

Subsequently, a large number of Rain ninjas, with the help of "darkness under the lamp," quickly passed through the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.

Everything was completed quietly without a sound, and next, Konoha seemed to be about to face a major crisis.

Led by Salamander Hanzo and with the Rain ninja elite clearing the way, the Rain ninjas, taking advantage of the night, broke through Konoha's multiple warnings like a hot knife through butter.

At this moment, Salamander Hanzo could already vaguely see the massive camp of the Konoha Allied Forces in the distance.

But even though the target was right in front of him, he was not in a hurry.

To be a good "hunter," patience is a necessity.

Impatience is a great taboo for a ninja.

He gave another look to the trusted aide beside him, and the other party nodded in understanding upon seeing this.

Subsequently, this ninja who specialized in insect-controlling secret arts drove a dozen strange-looking insects, sneaking forward along the ground.

Although ninjas who can use insect-controlling secret arts are rare, it does not mean they do not exist.

In the vast Ninja World, it is not only the Aburame clan of Konoha that uses parasitic insects that can use insect-controlling ninjutsu; there are also other small ninja clans that have accomplishments in insect-controlling arts.

Clearly, this trusted Rain ninja was a rare insect-controlling ninja.

Soon, under the manipulation of the insect-controlling Rain ninja, a dozen insects resembling scarabs approached the edge of the Konoha camp, passing under a large tree.

"Sou sou!!!!"

Two shuriken suddenly ejected from the tree crown, killing all the scarabs.

What happened in the distance naturally could not be hidden from this Rain ninja who manipulated insect arts, and he reported it to Salamander Hanzo in detail.

"Sure enough..."

A trace of understanding flashed in Salamander Hanzo's eyes.

Around the Konoha camp, there really existed an invisible "perception barrier."

Even such a subtle movement as insects crawling was actually perceived by the other party, which shows the brilliance of this Konoha perception barrier. ===== CHAPTER 835 =====
