Chapter 226: Attack on the Hidden Rain Village! The Sick God Says!
"Chasing them now is meaningless!"
Compared to Ebizo, who still harbored a man's hot-bloodedness, Chiyo was undoubtedly calmer and wiser!
"I will write to Lord Kazekage! I'll have the Anbu handle this matter!"
"Before that, continue to send elite squads to scout the routes!"
"For the future of Sunagakure, a little sacrifice… is essential!"
"I still have new types of poison to research! I'll leave things here to you!"
Watching Chiyo's swift departure, Ebizo's lips moved, but he said nothing.
He sat down helplessly.
Was he… being sidelined?
…Land of Rain!
As Amegakure intensified its encirclement and suppression of the Konoha Ninja divisions that had invaded the Land of Rain, Hanzo's forces stationed in Amegakure were constantly dispersed under this state of encirclement and counter-encirclement.
As the saying goes, the bold thrive, and the timid starve!
And the current Fujiwara Tetsuya undoubtedly belonged to the former!
That's right!
Fujiwara Tetsuya had set his sights on Amegakure!
He wanted to lead the remaining few squads of the Twenty-Seventh Division to attack Amegakure while its defenses were relatively weak!
Although this action could be described as incredibly audacious and extremely risky, if successful, it would have an immeasurable impact on the war between Amegakure and Konoha within the Land of Rain!
In a cave seven miles from Amegakure, Fujiwara Tetsuya and the Twenty-Seventh Division were currently hidden, quietly awaiting the opportune moment.
"Captain!"
"Half an hour ago, more than ten squads of Amegakure Ninja left Amegakure again!"
The current Amegakure was completely different from the era ruled by Pain!
Whether in technology, economy, or population, it was not on the same dimension.
The scattered, irregular buildings would greatly reduce the difficulty for Fujiwara Tetsuya and his team to infiltrate Amegakure!
"What should we do, Tetsuya? Should we make our move? The Ninja remaining in Amegakure now is probably the fewest it's been in the past five days!"
The moment Yuhi Shinwa spoke, gazes filled with fighting spirit instantly fell upon Fujiwara Tetsuya's calm face.
"It seems you are all ready!"
"In that case, let's act!"
"Sae, Maruko, you two will provide support from outside!"
"The rest of you, follow me to attack Hidden Mist Village!"
As a gradually rising authority figure, Fujiwara Tetsuya naturally would not ignore the will of his subordinates.
After a brief consideration, he immediately made the decision to attack Hidden Mist Village.
…Strictly speaking, Hanzo had protected Amegakure very well.
Even with the war raging on the front lines, it had not affected Amegakure, located deep within the Land of Rain.
The lights, still bright as ever under the cover of night, were probably the most peaceful place in the entire Land of Rain, apart from the capital.
"Move!"
As time passed, the entire Amegakure gradually fell into darkness.
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya raised his hand, the fifteen combat members, including him, instantly formed three temporary combat squads and infiltrated Amegakure.
After successively attacking several patrolling Amegakure Ninja, the whereabouts of the three temporary squads were exposed one after another.
However, neither the main squad led by Fujiwara Tetsuya nor the squads led by Yuhi Shinwa and another Jonin, Sato Aowa, showed any panic.
To ensure the successful completion of the mission and reduce casualties among their comrades, they had rehearsed the possible situations they might face when attacking Amegakure dozens of times.
The moment their whereabouts were exposed, the members of each squad threw all the explosive tags they carried in all directions.
After a brief pause, countless roars instantly swept through the locations of the various squads.
Although the fires caused by the explosions were quickly extinguished by the dense rain in the gloomy weather, this level was already enough for Fujiwara Tetsuya and his team!
As long as they caused panic among the Amegakure Villagers, it would create great convenience for their subsequent battle.
As for whether it would cause a large number of civilian deaths, apologies, that was not something they, as enemy Ninja, needed to consider.
After all, when Hanzo led Amegakure's Ninja to invade the Land of Fire, he also showed no mercy and caused countless civilian deaths.
"Damn it! It's Konoha Ninja!"
"Are those guys in the guard eating dry rice? How could they let the enemy infiltrate the Village?"
As the battle between the two sides escalated, more and more Amegakure Ninja appeared around the battlefield.
Apart from a small number of people who participated in firefighting and the evacuation of ordinary Villagers, the remaining Amegakure Ninja all joined the battle against the Konoha Ninja.
In just a few minutes, the number of enemies faced by the three temporary squads surged to several times, or even more than ten times, the original amount!
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Mikoto! The four of you, stick close to me!"
"Lightning Release: Earth Run!"
After forcefully showcasing his personal strength, Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and the others quickly headed towards the Amekage (Rain Shadow) Building.
Upon seeing the direction Fujiwara Tetsuya and his team were heading, the Amegakure Ninja behind them immediately understood Fujiwara Tetsuya's intention.
"Damn it! These bastards want to destroy the Amekage (Rain Shadow) Building!"
"No matter what, we must stop them! Don't let the enemy get close to the Amekage (Rain Shadow) Building!"
At this moment, whether it was the powerful Jonin of Amegakure or the ordinary Chunin and Genin, they all began to panic.
For them, Hanzo was a god-like existence, and the Amekage (Rain Shadow) Building symbolized the authority of that god.
Once it collapsed, all of them would become sinners of Amegakure, and even… be abandoned by their god!
Under this pathological fervor, Amegakure's Ninja unleashed unimaginable potential.
Without regard for Chakra consumption, they gradually caught up with Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and the others.
"Tetsuya-kun! We'll hold them off; the rest is up to you!"
Dodging the continuously incoming kunai from behind, Uchiha Mikoto paused for a moment on Fujiwara Tetsuya's back before turning around to engage the large number of Amegakure Ninja pursuing them.
The other three squad members, seeing Uchiha Mikoto's action, made the same choice without hesitation.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Mikoto!"
Hearing the sound of Ninjutsu explosions from behind him, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes narrowed slightly.
He didn't look back, nor did he stop.
He rushed at an extremely fast speed towards the tall building in his sight.
"Is this Hanzo's lair? The fall of an old god, the birth of a new god. It's truly pathologically ridiculous!"
Two minutes later, Fujiwara Tetsuya was already standing on the top floor of the Amekage (Rain Shadow) Building, overlooking everything in Amegakure in the darkness.
Thinking of Hanzo, and then of Yahiko and Nagato in the future, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but chuckle several times.
"By my calculations, Uchiha Madara should have succeeded by now! I'm really looking forward to those legendary eyes!"
