"Fifteen li to the southeast, there is a man named Hanzō of the Salamander. Kill him."
Lucian gazed into the distance, where a large number of life forms were gathered.
"This is your first battle. I will not hear the word 'failure'. Go."
"Yes, Lord Lucian."
The next moment, the two women vanished.
The three little ones couldn't help but look around, astonished to find that the two women were nowhere to be seen within a several-hundred-meter radius. They were too fast.
"Hanzō of the Salamander?!"
The next moment, Yahiko exclaimed, unable to contain his worry, "Lord Lucian, Hanzō is powerful. He founded the Village Hidden in the Rain..."
"So what? Forget about that. You only need to remember one thing..."
Lucian was unconcerned. The so-called 'Demigod' was only impressive depending on who he was compared to!
Hanzō's fatal flaw was a severe lack of intelligence.
Lucian looked up at the sky, as if he were about to grasp everything in his hands!
"Before us, there are no enemies!"
Hearing these words and seeing Lucian's calm, handsome face, the three little ones were stunned, feeling an unprecedented shock in their hearts.
A new door had opened in their minds.
If there was a god in this world...
Then it must be Lord Lucian.
"Let's go!"
Lucian picked up Konan and, using his spiritual power, wrapped up Nagato and Yahiko, then flew directly into the air.
For a moment, the three little ones were dumbfounded.
The fierce wind was so strong that Nagato's and Yahiko's cheeks were nearly blown off. Only Konan, enveloped in spiritual power, had her hair gently fluttering.
"Lord Lucian..."
In Lucian's arms, Konan's fair little face instantly turned as red as the setting sun.
Her rapidly beating heart was a testament to her nervousness and shyness.
Thank you, heavens, for letting me meet you!
...
On the border between the two countries,
Konoha and the Village Hidden in the Rain had been fighting for over ten days.
Of course, it had mostly been skirmishes. Konoha was under a lot of pressure right now, and Hanzō of the Salamander of the Village Hidden in the Rain was also cautious, never advancing rashly.
For a time, the two sides were at a stalemate.
On the border, in the Konoha camp!
"We can't go on like this. If we don't solve the problem of Hanzō, the Village Hidden in the Cloud and the Village Hidden in the Stone will definitely seize the opportunity to attack Konoha. Our forces are spread too thin..."
Inside the Konoha tent, Jiraiya and Tsunade frowned slightly.
Hanzō was being too cautious right now.
It seemed he was deliberately tying down this unit to disperse Konoha's forces.
Considering this possibility, Jiraiya looked at a ninja, "Has Orochimaru replied? When will he arrive?"
Orochimaru was supposed to be on this expedition with them, but he had been temporarily borrowed by Danzo. Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his fondness for Danzo, hadn't said much.
Who knows what kind of depraved things Danzo had been up to during this time.
"I'm here..."
At that moment, a travel-worn Orochimaru arrived, a remarkably relaxed smile on his face, which surprised both Tsunade and Jiraiya.
What was going on?
Orochimaru usually sneered, but this kind of smile?
Did he find money? Find a wife?
Jiraiya let out a breath and said, "You've come at the right time. We're planning a decisive battle. We can't drag this out any longer. What do you think?"
Orochimaru's raspy voice sounded, "I'll listen to you."
???
Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a look. They both felt that something was off with Orochimaru, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
Seeing this, a sinister smile appeared on Orochimaru's face, "Hanzō is not to be underestimated. I was afraid of failure, which is why I hurried back. After all, human life is so fragile..."
"We've been comrades for a while. We won't have the chance to work together again in the future."
His words were strange.
Jiraiya scratched his head and smiled, "Ah, after we solve the problem of Hanzō, we'll have to split up and lead our own troops."
"After the Second Shinobi World War ends, we'll each become Jonin leaders of our own teams. We really won't have the chance to work together again..."
Tsunade's beautiful eyebrows arched slightly. What on earth had happened to Orochimaru?
But now was not the time for too many questions.
Following that, the main forces of Konoha began to move.
...
On the outskirts of the Amegakure camp.
Two tall, beautiful women moved through the area using the Schatten Bereich, passing one large camp after another without being detected.
The two women headed towards the strongest spiritual body they could sense.
"Be careful, Kushina..."
"Mhm, I know."
They had been focusing on the strongest spiritual body, but as they got closer, Kushina discovered that outside an unremarkable large tent, there were a large number of ninja guards hidden in three layers, both inside and out.
"A Demigod... he's being too cautious..."
Kushina couldn't help but complain.
For a great 'Demigod' to be hiding in a small tent was one thing, but to have dozens of ninja guarding him in secret... was he that afraid of death?
But that was Hanzō's way.
Although he was strong, he was a very careful and cautious person. He was equipped with a 24-hour rotating guard, and ordinary people could not get close.
Even if his opponent was an unknown rookie ninja, he would not underestimate them in the slightest.
Always choosing the most reliable method to eliminate his opponent was Hanzō's law of survival.
"Medium Heilig Pfeil!"
Kushina directly gathered the surrounding spirit particles in her palm, instantly forming a huge arrow filled with tyrannical energy.
The moment she left the Schatten Bereich, Kushina threw it directly at Hanzō's location.
BOOM!
Along with the sound of the air exploding, the Amegakure ninja hiding in the shadows and guarding Hanzō were shocked.
Before they could react, they saw a beam of light shoot into the camp, causing a terrifying explosion!
The large tent was directly blown up. A cry of pain was heard, and a powerful shockwave sent all the hidden Amegakure ninja flying
