Somewhere in the Rain Country, on a muddy mountain road, hundreds of Konoha's reinforcements were moving cautiously.
"This really doesn't look like a shinobi war."
Someone in the team said. According to common sense, at this time of war, the Land of Rain should be extremely dangerous.
But since the reinforcements stepped into the Land of Rain, they were surprisingly calm.
Although this has something to do with the route they chose, this kind of tranquility doesn't match with a shinobi war.
"This is natural, the four largest forces in the Land of Rain just had a large-scale collision, even if they want to do something, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything."
A man who looked like a leader said, he was a Jonin from the Sarutobi Clan, named Sarutobi Chiba.
"This is a good thing for us, if we really encounter the enemy forces, it will be difficult to resist with our strength."
Sarutobi Chiba said, although they have hundreds of people, their strength isn't strong.
Sandaime also knows that there won't be any big war in the Land of Rain, so there's no need to send a strong force here.
The purpose of this reinforcements is just to make up for the loss of Jiraiya and transport war materials.
The transportation of war materials is actually very convenient, the existence of space scroll greatly reduces the burden of marching.
"But even so, we still have to be cautious, no matter what, this is a shinobi war."
Being cautious under any circumstances and strictly following orders is the Sarutobi Clan's rule, and as a Jonin, Sarutobi Chiba naturally follows this rule.
Hundreds of people continued to move forward according to the established route.
...
One day later.
Somewhere in the Land of Rain, Sho Sho led the investigation team and arrived here.
Looking at the mountain forest in front of him, although it wasn't high, Sakumo couldn't help but sigh.
When they entered the Land of Rain, they didn't choose to take a detour, but took the shortest distance to reach Jiraiya's place as soon as possible.
But this time is different, the route taken by the reinforcements is unknown, in order to hide, sometimes they even choose some rugged routes.
After all, this batch of resources was too important to them.
In fact, half a day ago, Sho Sho's team had run out of food.
But fortunately, it wasn't a big problem for 30 ninjas to feed themselves in the forest.
"Let's continue forward."
Sho Sho said. For some reason, his mind was haunted by those questions, giving him a bad premonition.
He formed this exploration team just as a precaution. However, based on the current situation, it was almost impossible to meet the reinforcements within three days.
"Yes."
The team members answered. Watergate, who was the vanguard of the exploration team, walked in front of everyone.
There was also a doubtful look between his brows.
He saw the attack of the Rock Ninja with his own eyes. So far, he's still doubtful about who could find the exact whereabouts of Wood Leaf's troops without them knowing.
Even if it's the Rain Village, does it really have this ability?
"Watergate, what's wrong with you?" At this time, a slightly doubtful voice sounded. Not far behind Watergate, was Watanabe, who was responsible for perception.
The surrounding ninjas cast a slightly surprised look at Watanabe. Usually, she's a bit unapproachable.
But … it seems that she has a good relationship with Watergate.
"Uh … It's nothing." Watergate immediately replied.
In this matter, maybe it's just him and Sho Sho thinking too much.
...
In the forest, Wood Leaf's reinforcements continued to move forward. The dense leaves blocked most of the rain falling from the sky, and then the rain fell, making the leaves tremble, and the accumulated rain fell from the leaves again.
It has to be said that these ninjas from the Land of Fire, just like Tsunade, hate this kind of rain.
However, this is the Land of Rain, the rain will never stop, just like the battle between ninjas, endless.
The Shinobi World War is like a storm.
On weekdays, the battle between the major ninja villages is like this continuous drizzle.
But it didn't take long for them to come out of the hill.
Surrounded by mountains, looking at the repetitive scene before them, everyone felt helpless.
After coming out of the mountain, they had to step into another mountain, and the distance between the two mountains was only a few dozen meters.
This short break gave them a chance to take a breather.
Sarutobi Chiba glanced at the side of the mountain, but when he was about to withdraw his sight, he saw a trace of coldness that shouldn't have appeared under the thick leaves.
However, as a Jonin, his insight was so keen that he instantly noticed something wrong.
"Not good, there's an ambush!"
His shout suddenly woke everyone up, and these ninjas instinctively entered a state of alert.
Whoosh!
But at the same time, from both sides of the mountain, there were pitch-black shurikens flying out like a rainstorm.
The dense shurikens even blocked the falling of the rain, covering hundreds of Konoha's reinforcements.
Because of the terrain, even if the ninjas on the periphery resist these shurikens, they will still be attacked from above.
However, in this range of only a few dozen meters in diameter, hundreds of people are actually a little crowded.
"Oof!"
"Whoosh!"
However, the ninjas in the team were still fast, and several wind and fire ninjutsu swept out at the same time, directly making a gap in the dense shurikens.
Then dozens of ninjas around jumped up and began to knock down the shurikens.
Clang!
However, just as they were about to knock down the shurikens, another round of shurikens shurikens shrouded them.
But just like before, hundreds of ninjas managed to resist it.
There were only some occasional gaps, but it didn't pose a big threat.
The shurikens stopped, and everyone was alert. In the mountains on both sides, there were more than a hundred figures standing out.
Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, they were wearing clothes from the Sunagakure.
"Damn it, how did they find this place?" Sarutobi Chiba thought. The route they took was extremely remote and rugged.
But in this mountain, they actually encountered an ambush from the Sunagakure.
Just when he was surprised, some of the ninjas around Konoha's team and among them, there were some abnormalities.
Looking at the hand of a ninja next to him that was scratched by a shuriken, Sarutobi's heart suddenly trembled, and he was shocked.
"Are those shurikens poisonous?"
