In the Land of Rain, no matter how the people and things in this land change, the only thing that remains unchanged is the cold rain that almost never stops. Nature's laws of climate regulation seem to have lost their usefulness in a land where there are few distinct seasons, only rain and humid air.

Occasionally, though, the rain will stop a bit, than tonight.

Moonlight is rare for people in the Land of Rain, and sometimes it is difficult to see it once a year. However, although the moonlight is hard to see, no one in this town tonight shows up on the streets, but they are all close to the door, hiding in their homes.

It can't be helped, although ninjas generally don't deliberately kill civilians when fighting, the destructive power of their gestures is too great. Coupled with the ninja's strong mobility, it is easy to cause a wide range of casualties among the civilians if the two countries are at war.

And this time, it was the country of Takanohi who suddenly launched a surprise attack on the country of rain, and the country of rain that suffered the most was naturally the country of rain. It's better than the town in front of you, at least the ninjas don't usually go to war in the town. But some small villages can easily be erased and disappear from the world.

Although there are no civilians, the town is quite lively tonight, and the streets are full of ninjas dressed in all kinds of costumes. Although they were full of vigilance, no one dared to do anything.

At this time, a room in the town.

One of the supreme commanders of the northern front of Yuyin Village, Long Yu, with a bandage on his head, was looking at the north from a distance through the open window, his eyes were blazing, and there was no trace of the sluggish look of ordinary people after being injured.

The other person in the room was Shi Yu, who was thin and had a faint look of exhaustion on his face.

Someone outside knocked softly on the door, and then walked in with a large handful of documents, and said to the two: "Two adults, according to the investigation, I am afraid that this private contact between our country and Takino Country has been discovered by individual ninja villages. ”

Long Yu coughed, touched the bandage on his head, and said, "Don't worry about them, you continue to prepare for negotiations with Takino Country." ”

"Yes. ”

The man agreed, and then left the room lightly.

Shi Yu only spoke at this time, with an uncomfortable hoarseness in his voice, and said: "Although our Yuyin ninjas are elite, their numbers are too small after all, and they are too lacking in high-end combat power. If Hanzo-sama doesn't talk to the Ghost Lantern clan this time, I'm afraid things won't be good. ”

Long Yu snorted and said, "Just rely on these people in the country of Taki, although it is possible to suppress us, but if you want to eat us, it is a little too arrogant." ”

Shi Yu shook his head and said, "Naturally, it will be difficult for them to eat us themselves, but once we show the momentum of our demise, I am afraid that several surrounding countries will want to pounce on us and bite us." ”

Long Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and then he asked, "The intermediary between us and the Ghost Lantern Clan is the Shui Wuyue Clan, but how did Shui Wuyue get involved with the Ghost Lantern Clan?" I heard that when several major families in Wuyin Village launched a rebellion and attacked the Ghost Lantern Clan's team, this Shui Wuyue Clan danced the most happily, and now the Ghost Lantern Clan will even cooperate with them?"

Shi Yu smiled, and then said: "Since they are the ones who win in the end, then they are not called 'rebellion', but called setting things right and turning the tide." ”

Long Yu laughed "hehe" and didn't say much, just quietly listened to Shi Yu continue.

After Shi Yu thought about it, he continued slowly, "As for why the Shui Wuyue clan can still be involved with the high-level of the Ghost Lantern clan, I haven't figured it out. Based on the current internal situation of the Ghost Lantern Clan, if someone dares to make friends with the Shui Wuyue Clan in private, once they are discovered, it will be a certain death, but they are still willing to do it, I am afraid that there is something behind the joint that we have not guessed. ”

While the two were talking, someone from outside came over, came to the two, and whispered, "Two adults, there are ninjas who claim to be the people of Konoha who are outside, and I want to meet the two of you." ”

Shi Yu and Long Yu glanced at each other, and their faces invariably showed a look of surprise and contemplation.

On the other side of the Land of Rain, on the border with the Land of River.

Although a large number of ninjas from Rain Hidden Village have gathered here, thanks to the poor reconnaissance level of the border troops of Kawano Country, as well as the efficient organization and deployment of ninjas in Rain Hidden Village, no one knows that a large number of Rain Hidden ninja troops have quietly gathered here.

In a makeshift camp for the Rain Hidden Ninjas.

Although it may seem inconspicuous, this camp is the command center of this group of Rain Hidden Ninjas, and it is also the place where Hanzo, the leader of Rain Hidden Village, is located at this time.

"Your Excellency, this is today's reconnaissance report. ”

A ninja walked in, gave a salute, and handed Hanzo a scroll.

Hanzo took it, and after a few casual glances, he put the scroll aside, and then asked, "How is it, is there any news from the Shui Wuyue clan?"

The ninja shook his head and said, "Still not." ”

Hearing this, Hanzo patted the sickle in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "You can't delay any longer, give orders to go down, and let everyone get ready to fight." ”

The ninja was startled, immediately shouted yes, and then turned to leave.

Hanzo stood up and looked at the many rain ninjas in the camp outside the door, and knew in his heart that the rain ninjas on the northern front were fighting fiercely against the Takihide ninjas, and the people he was bringing with him were here all day long, and their morale had been affected to a certain extent. If it continues to drag on, I am afraid that the morale will become even worse.

In addition, in his heart, the Shui Wuyue clan is not a trustworthy partner. The reason why the Shui Wuyue clan was asked to test it first this time was just to think that it would be better to succeed, and if it didn't succeed, they would send someone to do it themselves.

Years of experience have taught him that only what he catches in his hands is his own.

That night, a large number of ninjas from Yuyin Village began to take advantage of the night to cross the border between the two countries and move to the country of Kawanokuni in groups.

Different from the fanfare of Taki's raid on the country of rain, the ninjas of the village had already taken advantage of the topographical data obtained during the previous mission to sort out a rough map of the country of Kawanoku, and Hanzo ordered the ninjas of the rain to enter the country of Kawanoku by "breaking the whole into pieces", so although the high-level officials of the country of Kawanokuni quickly got a report of the attack on the border troops, they directly regarded it as a harassment of the official of the country of Kawanoku by the wandering ninja and did not pay attention to it.

And the Ghost Lantern Clan has just arrived in the country of Kawanoko, although the strength is stronger than the defense force of the country of Kawanokoku, but in order to maintain a harmonious relationship with the high-level of the country of Kawanokoku, they have not taken the initiative to interfere in the defense of the country of Kawanokuni at this time, and naturally they cannot directly obtain the first-hand information reported from the border.
