In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 157 The fight begins, Yagyu fights one against nine
The sudden attack by the White Zetsu army caught the sensory troops off guard.

Fortunately, the strength of White Zetsu's clone was not strong, and the perception troops reacted quickly. They worked together to cast spells to resist the attack of White Zetsu's clone while retreating quickly.

However, many people were still killed by White Zetsu's clone.

Due to the explosion and dust caused by the Five Elements Escape Technique, as well as the distraction of fighting the enemy and covering teammates, there was also the reason for retreat.

The people in the sensing team did not notice or realize that some team members had obviously died, but mixed into the team during the retreat, and were even right next to him.

Since there was nothing unusual in the chakra fluctuations sensed, even people with stronger perception would not notice anything wrong.

However, all of this was seen by Yagyu's wooden clone, which had merged into one with the earth and plants.

So when Konoha's perception troops evacuated the Rain Country where it rained all year round and arrived at the camp outside the border where tents had already been set up, Yagyu was already waiting for them outside.

"Wood Release: Cutting Technique!"

Before the ninjas of the sensing unit could greet Yagyu, they saw Yagyu forming a seal with one hand and whispering.

In an instant, sharp wooden spikes rose from the ground and pierced through the bodies of more than a dozen sensory ninjas, stringing them together like the execution of a thorn man.

The other perception ninjas didn't have time to scream or shout out.

The bodies of those sensory ninjas that were pierced by wooden spikes turned into white creatures at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is……"

Looking at the White Zetsu clone that had emerged from the ground and attacked them not long ago, the sensing ninjas all widened their eyes, their pupils contracted, and their faces were filled with horror and disbelief.

Because they were the best at perception, they did not realize that the enemy had disguised himself as their companions.

Moreover, there was nothing unusual about their chakra fluctuations.

What kind of powerful transformation technique is this? !
When these perception ninjas thought that the enemy was right next to them and that an existence that could not be detected by perception, they instantly felt a chill.

If Yagyu hadn't discovered it, they would not only be collecting intelligence, but would actually be sending intelligence to the enemy.

If a team is composed entirely of enemies, they might bring back false information to the headquarters, causing a large number of companions to fall into the enemy's trap and cause huge casualties.

Thinking of this, the special jonins in charge of the team bowed to Yagyu and said, "Sir Yagyu, I'm very sorry!"

"It's okay. The enemy has the strongest transformation and infiltration techniques in the ninja world. If it weren't for my Wood Release that just happens to restrain their ninjutsu, even I wouldn't be able to find them." Yagyu smiled and said, "Just follow the orders. I won't let the enemy get in."

"Yes!"

The perceptive ninjas responded respectfully, looking at Yagyu with eyes full of fanaticism and admiration.

Especially the young members of the Hyuga clan, the Inuzuka clan, and the Aburame clan, all felt a strong sense of security and regarded Yagyu as an idol.

The perceptive ninja quickly reported the intelligence of the White Zetsu army to the senior leaders headed by Tsunade.

Inside a tent, there was a long wooden table. Tsunade was sitting at the main seat, with Yagyu on the right and Hyuga Hiashi on the left.

"Isn't that creature a special clone technique?"

After listening to the report, Tsunade said with an unpleasant expression, "Being able to create tens of thousands of clones, is this really something that the clone technique can do?"

"It's not necessarily a clone."

Yagyu, who knew everything, did not reveal the secret of White Zetsu's clone, but pretended not to understand and speculated: "Last year, there was an incident of the resurrection of ghosts in the Land of Demons."

"The ghost army led by Wuliang is very similar to these white creatures. These white creatures may also be some kind of monsters."

"I also believe so."

Nara Shikaku, who was sitting next to Yagyu, nodded in agreement and said, "Throughout ninja history, the strongest clone techniques known are the Wood Clone Technique developed by the First Generation and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique developed by the Second Generation.

Even these two clone techniques cannot create such a large number of clones, let alone make the clones so special that even death will not disappear. "

Hearing this, Tsunade's frown finally relaxed, and she felt that what Yagyu and Nara Shikaku said made sense.

So she gave the order:
“So many special monsters are hiding underground to ambush us, which means that Akatsuki is very likely hiding in the Rain Country. It will take them at least ten days to seal the Five-Tails to the Seven-Tails.

This period of time is our best opportunity.

As long as we find them, we can not only break their seal, but also wipe them out when they are severely exhausted.

Since the sensory team cannot get close to the Hidden Rain Village, we will form a special team to sneak into the Hidden Rain Village to collect intelligence."

After finishing speaking, Tsunade immediately said to Yagyu: "Yagyu, you have the Flying Thunder God Technique. No one is more suitable than you to lead this special team. This mission is given to you. You can choose anyone."

"I understand. I'll leave now." Yagyu nodded, then got up and left.

Soon, Yagyu took Hinata and Karin, who were the most sensitive, and left the camp in an instant, looking for a gap to bypass the White Zetsu army, preparing to sneak into the Hidden Rain Village to collect intelligence.

Like Konoha, the other four major ninja villages also sent out special teams to collect intelligence.

Unlike the passive resistance of protecting Killer Bee and Naruto in the original Fourth Ninja World War, in the current Fourth Ninja World War, the five major ninja villages are the ones who actively attack.

The battle of ninjas is the battle of intelligence.

As the attackers, they must collect useful intelligence before taking action and striving to kill the enemy with one strike.

The location of the Akatsuki organization is the information that the five major ninja villages need most right now.

If the Akatsuki organization was not in the Hidden Rain Village, or in the Land of the Rain, then they would not have to fight the White Zetsu army and kill their way to the Hidden Rain Village.

That would just be a waste of time and unnecessary sacrifice.

After all, these white creatures that look exactly the same are obviously the product of special abilities and are not worth anything at all.

On the other hand, in their ninja village, it takes at least six years to train a Genin.

For Chunin and Jonin, it takes several years or even more than ten years.

Therefore, even if the five major ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom did not communicate with each other, they very tacitly set up camp outside the border of the Rain Kingdom, sending perception ninjas and earth-style ninjas to resist the approach of the White Zetsu army while waiting for the return of the special team.

"A special team from the five major ninja villages is here to gather intelligence."

The five major ninja villages had just sent out a team, and the Black and White Zetsu, who were able to share intelligence with the 100,000 White Zetsu, immediately received the news, and then White Zetsu smiled playfully: "Except for Konoha, the other four major ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom have White Zetsu clones mixed in.

However, Konoha did not send Yagyu's wooden clone to help the four major ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom to eliminate the White Zetsu clone. They are indeed a group of scattered sand. "

"Normal. They know that a single ninja village cannot deal with us, but they still don't mobilize to form a ninja coalition. This shows that decades of accumulated hatred have made them unable to let go of their grudges. They even hope that the other side will suffer heavy losses, and then after destroying us, they will take the opportunity to kill the ninja village that suffered the greatest losses." Tendo Pain calmly stated Nagato's evaluation and views on these large ninja villages, and then asked: "Which special team is the one on the Konoha side?"

"It's the Wood Release Ninja Yagyu, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, Hinata, and the descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Karin." White Zetsu reported truthfully, "White Zetsu's clones don't dare to get too close, so their positions can't be accurately grasped like the four major ninja villages."

"A general actually showed up at the beginning?" Hoshigaki Kisame was a little surprised, grinning and teasing: "It seems that Konoha hates us to the core! The demise of the four major ninja clans, could it really be one of us who did it?"

As he said this, Hoshigaki Kisame focused his gaze on Hyakko who had his eyes closed.

The same as him include Deidara, Konan and others.

However, at this moment, Bai Mao seemed to be sensing the outside world, as if he was busy with something, and did not notice the gazes of several people at all.

So, Tendou Pain took the initiative to change the subject and said slowly: "We can't let the special team come to the Hidden Rain Village, but we can't let the five major ninja villages stay outside. We need to lead them into the Rain Country and use war to lure out the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

So we need to confuse them and make them sure that we are in the Rain Country. Get ready, I am going to perform the Elephant Transformation Technique!"

After he finished speaking, the remaining Six Paths of Pain who remained outside the underground base brought in six White Zetsu clones.

Nagato silently mobilized the chakras of the Hundred Faces through the ring, transferred them to the rings of the remaining Six Paths of Pain, and performed the Elephant Transfer Technique.

Just like the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the six White Zetsu clones quickly turned into the appearances of Konan and Hyakumao.

"Follow me!" Renjiandao said lightly, and then he brought the elephant-turned clones of Baimao and others to the ground, walked out of the Hidden Rain Village, and came to a mountain closest to the village, waiting and preparing to provide false information to the five major ninja villages.

In the underground base, after doing all this, Tendo Pain said to Baimao who had already opened his eyes: "The Elephant Turning Technique can only deceive the four major ninja villages, and it may have no effect on the Wood Release Ninja.

Baimao, I need you to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to hold back the Wood Release Ninja, and I will send Pain Six Paths to assist you."

After saying that, Nagato once again used the Elephant Transformation Technique to create an Elephant Transformation clone of Tendo Pain.

"I understand." Baimao nodded.

Nagato's words were exactly what Yagyu wanted.

Nothing could be more suitable for a temporary stay than fighting against the powerful ones who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation and the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

Then, the elephant-turned clone of Baimao immediately formed seals with both hands and shouted softly: "Immortal Reincarnation Technique!"

In an instant, three coffins appeared in front of Akatsuki's elephant clone.

As the three coffin lids fell to the ground, three figures with cracks all over their bodies and lifeless eyes slowly walked out from inside.

Seeing these three figures, the Akatsuki members' clones all changed their expressions and their pupils contracted.

"Hey, hey... isn't this lineup too outrageous?"

"Facing a lineup like this, even Wood Release Bloodline Genkai can only do this, right?"

"Bai Mao, you actually still have this trick up your sleeve?!"

"..."

The three figures were the first Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju, the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the second Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village, Mu.

Hashirama Senju is recognized as the God of Ninja.

The Second Hokage and the Second Tsuchikage were the two most talented of the Five Kage during the First Ninja World War.

The former developed countless forbidden techniques, while the latter developed the Bloodline Elimination: Dust Release that surpassed the Bloodline Limit.

Excluding the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju, these two people can rank among the top five among the five Kage of history.

The members of the Akatsuki organization thought that since the One Hundred Faces was able to resurrect the First Hokage through the Impure World Reincarnation, they had already grasped the most powerful trump card.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the first generation Hokage, he actually has so many high-end combat forces.

Thinking that the Hundred Faces had already perfected the Impure World Reincarnation, and that both the First Hokage and the two Fifth Kage would be able to exert at least 70% to 80% of their strength in life, Uchiha Obito and Black and White Zetsu suddenly felt confident.

Nagato also became more confident.

With the help of these three previous five Kage, even if the current Tendo Pain is just an elephant clone, he is confident that he can defeat Yagyu.

As long as they can get rid of the biggest threat, Yagyu, their Akatsuki organization will definitely be the winner in this war.

Thinking of this, the elephant-turned clone of Tendao Pain immediately said in a deep voice: "Let's start the action!"

After he finished speaking, Pain's Six Paths immediately turned into afterimages and disappeared.

Like them are the Senju brothers and the Second Tsuchikage, who were deprived of consciousness after being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

Only the Hyakko did not take any action. Instead, he sat cross-legged and controlled the Senju brothers and the Second Tsuchikage.

"Ok?"

At the same time, Yagyu, who was heading towards the Hidden Rain Village with Hinata who opened her Byakugan and Karin who opened Kagura's heart's eye, also stopped in time, then squatted down and touched the ground with two fingers.

After a few seconds, he suddenly said to the two women: "Go back and report to the Hokage. The Akatsuki organization is hiding in the Hidden Rain Village. You can launch a large-scale attack."

"Yes!"

Hinata and Karin seemed to have sensed something at this moment and nodded seriously.

Then, the two women turned around without hesitation and returned along the same path.

Rumble…

Almost as soon as they were a few miles away from Yagyu, a loud noise like an earth-shaking earthquake came from behind them.

The strong tremor even reached them.

Without turning their heads, Hinata and Karin, who possessed the top three perceptions in the ninja world, could see a dense sea of ​​trees suddenly rising from the ground, forming an astonishingly large rainforest in the Land of Rain where it was drizzling.

As soon as the sea of ​​trees was formed, nine extremely shocking chakra fluctuations appeared in the rain forest.

Sensing the strength of the nine chakras, even Hinata and Karin, who had blindly trusted Yagyu, couldn't help but look worried.

Due to the extremely astonishing area of ​​the sea of ​​trees, even the special teams of the four major ninja villages scattered in different directions could sense an extremely astonishing chakra fluctuation in a certain direction.

Those were not the densely packed small spots of light of White Zetsu's clones, but waves that looked like the explosion of the tailed beasts and the Tailed Beast Balls.

It was obvious that someone was performing a very large-scale ninjutsu.

Moreover, not far from the chakra of this ninjutsu, there are nine chakra fluctuations that are as bright as the bright moon compared to the small light of White Zetsu's clones.

The special teams that were able to serve as pioneers in collecting intelligence and whose strength and perception were top-notch suddenly looked at each other, all with solemn expressions, and turned around tacitly to return the same way.

There is no need to go to the Hidden Rain Village anymore. They are now 100% sure that the Akatsuki organization is in the Rain Country, and one side has already found them and started fighting.
