In the Land of Fire.
"Rustle!"
In the quiet forest, the Rock Ninjas were moving quickly. Because of the war, most of the civilians on the border of the Land of Fire have retreated to the inland.
Therefore, even if they were a few kilometers away from the Land of Fire, they still didn't see any people.
"It's going so smoothly, it seems that the number of ninjas under Wood Leaf is really stretched."
The leader of the Rock sighed. Since the establishment of the Five Great Villages, Wood Leaf has always been at the top.
Needless to say, when the First Naruto was still alive, even after the First Shinobi World War, when the Second Naruto died, Wood Leaf fell into a period of depression.
But because of the appearance of the Third Naruto Sarutobi, the situation stabilized, and in the following ten years, the name of the Shinobi Hero spread throughout the world, and Wood Leaf gradually became more powerful.
In the Second Shinobi World War, Wood Leaf Sannin, Wood Leaf White Fang, and Wood Leaf White Fang were the strongest, and in recent years, they have become more and more powerful.
This was even more so since the Third Shinobi World War, because of the strong appearance of Watergate, even the Sannin White Fang was gradually overshadowed by him.
Even so, no matter how strong Konoha is, it's just one of the five major ninja countries. Even if there are many strong people in the village, the history of the Shinobi World War has never been completely changed because of the appearance of a single person.
Unless that person is as powerful as the First Hokage, who was worshipped as the God of Shinobi by the entire ninja world.
With just a name, he can deter the other countries, and as long as he's there, the other four countries have no choice but to crawl.
But obviously, even if Watergate is comparable to the Kage of each country, he's stronger than some of them.
But so what, he's not the God of Shinobi.
Most of Wood Leaf's forces were on the battlefield, fighting against the Rock, Kumo Shinobu, and the Mist. Even if the former were aware of their plan, they wouldn't be able to resist.
More than 800 Rock Shinobis is definitely a force that cannot be underestimated, and if this force were to cause trouble in the Land of Fire, then the 3rd Generation Naruto under Wood Leaf will have no choice but to withdraw the remaining forces from Wood Leaf.
At that time, Wood Leaf will be emptied like never before, and the four great ninja villages will have won half of this war.
However, what these Rock Ninjas didn't know was that not far behind them, two figures were quietly following them.
It was Watergate and Zhiwei.
Zhiwei himself is a master of infiltration, he can pass through the defense line of the Rock Ninjas and reach the border of the Land of Earth to gather information, so hiding himself is not a problem.
Needless to say, Watergate, as long as he doesn't want to show himself, even the Kage of the five great villages can't find him.
After following these Rock Ninjas for a full ten minutes, the latter stopped at the edge of a circular forest dozens of miles away from the border of the Land of Fire.
This circular forest has a diameter of several kilometers, even in the Land of Fire, it's quite large.
"It seems that the Rock Ninjas are also prepared …"
Minato pondered for a moment. The forest itself wasn't small, and it was distributed in a circular pattern. Even if the Rock's forces were to gather here, they would be able to escape with minimal losses.
The circular forest is surrounded by mountains and forests, making it impossible to track.
It seems that they intend to use this place as a gathering place.
When the Rock Ninjas reached the edge of the forest, they temporarily stopped and carefully observed.
"Go in!"
After confirming that there was no abnormality, the ten Ninjas carefully rushed into the forest.
As soon as they entered, Minato led Zhi Wei to a spot that was relatively far away from them and then entered the building.
Because this forest is circular, the chances of both sides encountering each other halfway are much lower.
Not to mention, with Watergate's speed, the Rock Ninjas can't keep up.
Watergate understood that the Rock Ninjas chose to gather here, the advantages are known, but the disadvantages are also obvious. If they gather in a specific place and mark the path, it's easy to get lost.
Therefore, they only have one place to gather, and that is the center of this circular forest.
No matter which direction they enter the forest, as long as they go straight, they will be able to gather together.
"I sensed other insects."
While moving forward, the Queen Insect on Zhiwei's fingertips slowly wriggled. Watergate heard this and nodded.
It seems that the ten Ninjas they followed weren't the first team to arrive here.
With their speed, they soon arrived at the center of the forest.
Watergate blocked his and Zhiwei's perception, and when they arrived at the expected location, they saw nearly a hundred Rock Ninjas gathered there.
Among these people, the target they were following wasn't there.
The two hid themselves and waited quietly in the same place as the Rock Ninjas continued to gather.
After a while, the ten Ninjas that Watergate and Zhiwei followed also arrived.
Whoosh!
Under their eyes, more and more Rock Ninjas appeared in their field of vision, gathering at the center of the forest.
After about half an hour, the number of Rock Ninjas reached 450.
Watergate narrowed his eyes. If Zhiwei's information is correct, then the number of Rock Ninjas gathered here is 90% of the total number of Rock Ninjas that sneaked into the Land of Fire.
Just a little bit more, and they can call it a day.
At this moment, a familiar wave appeared in his perception, and a team of more than 20 Ninjas arrived.
"Sir!"
Hundreds of Rock Ninjas saw one of them and bowed slightly to show respect.
"It's him!"
Watergate immediately recognized him. During the 2nd Shinobi World War, during the first confrontation with the Rock Ninjas, he was the one who controlled the Bees to fight against Uchiha Kaito.
It seems that the leader of the Rock Ninjas is him!
When Zhiwei saw this person, his pupils under his sunglasses slightly trembled.
The Ninjas glanced at the Rock Ninjas in front of him, and then his eyes suddenly trembled.
"Buzz!"
He suddenly waved his sleeves, and a buzzing sound came out from his wide sleeves. Then, hundreds of bees flew out, forming a swarm.
The bees scattered in the air, and then directly locked onto the 400 Rock Ninjas and flew over.
"What are these things!?"
Several Rock Ninjas saw this and suddenly retreated.
"Don't move!"
The powerhouse of the Water Clan shouted, and the Rock Ninjas immediately stopped.
The bees enveloped these Ninjas, and then a dozen bees drilled into their mouths.
"Ugh!!"
The Ninjas suddenly vomited, but soon the bees flew out of their mouths, and then swept over the Ninjas' head and threw down a few black insects.
"Parasites …" The powerhouse from the Upper Water Clan narrowed his eyes as he took a closer look at the parasites.
Because looking at the state of these parasites, it didn't look like they just parasitized these Ninjas.
He didn't notice them before, which means that the person who planted the parasites was stronger than him in this regard.
The reason why he noticed them now was because the child insect was contacting the mother insect, and it could no longer be perfectly hidden.
This also means that …
They were followed!!
"We were discovered."
At this time, a clear laughter sounded in the ears of the Rock Ninjas.
Many of the Rock Ninjas looked up and followed the direction of the voice. They saw the blond man on the tree trunk at this moment.
Watergate slowly stood up from the trunk where he was hiding, and his brows slightly raised.
The reason he dared to show himself was because he sensed several Rock teams entering the forest from different directions.
The number has exceeded 500, which means that 99% of the Rock Ninjas who sneaked into the Land of Fire are here!
