Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

The connection with Tsunade and the others relies on specific marks agreed upon in advance.

In the dark night, Xingxiaxiu followed the crow all the way to a deserted village.

Because of the war, everyone here has fled and it is dead silent.

The crow was familiar with the route and came to a relatively intact wooden house.

"Captain, this is it."

Crow turned around and said.

Xingxiaxiu nodded, asked Wu Ya to guard outside, and walked in.

The wooden house was pitch black, and the wooden floor creaked as I stepped on it.

Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness: "Code!"

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but smile when he heard the voice: "Orochimaru!"

A figure stepped out from the darkness. It was Orochimaru. "Armor?"

"You should use a code word!"

Xing Xiaxiu took off his mask: "I should be safer than the code."

Orochimaru said calmly, "Then you should consider this a trap."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "Although I am not a sensory ninja, but Orochimaru you are too special."

"But this of yours should be a clone, right?"

Orochimaru looked at Xingxia Xiu's face and smiled: "Let's confirm your identity first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, sprouts began to grow from the wooden floor in front of him.

Orochimaru looked down and his pupils couldn't help shrinking: "The Wood Release User...it's you!"

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "It's me!"

Orochimaru quickly regained his composure and turned around: "Follow me!"

Xing Xiaxiu followed and soon entered a cellar where there was a secret passage.

After passing through the secret passage, they came to another cellar, which was more spacious and had flickering lights. Tsunade and Jiraiya were there, each holding a bowl of water.

As for Orochimaru's real body, it is outside this cellar.

"It's you!"

Tsunade was very surprised to see Xingxia Xiu and could not help but stand up.

Hoshita Hide smiled and said, "A Root Ninja, I should be perfectly normal, right?"

"After all, such a dangerous mission requires sufficient strength."

Tsunade said subconsciously: "But you are Mu..."

She reacted and stopped talking.

Orochimaru said, "Tsunade, it seems you already knew that he was a Wood Release user."

Jiraiya was confused, but then he reacted, jumped up, and looked Xingxia Xiu up and down: "Are you a Wood Release user?"

"You, you are the one who possesses the power of Wood Release!"

"Wait, Tsunade, when did you find out?"

No one paid any attention to Jiraiya. Tsunade looked at Hoshita Hide and asked, "Who are you?"

Xingxia Xiu said: "Not long ago, we clashed with the Rock Ninja and killed their elite Jonin Yamatsu. The information has been basically exposed."

Of course, his appearance was not revealed.

But in Konoha, there is actually no need to hide the so-called true identity.

But you can't get used to living in darkness all the time.

"What, you killed Shantu?"

Jiraiya exclaimed again.

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya, "What's so surprising? Show him being a Wood Release user."

Jiraiya looked at Xingxia Xiu: "Xiu?"

Xing Xia Xiu smiled and said, "Xing Xia Xiu, this is my real name!"

After getting to know each other again, the four of them sat down together.

Tsunade asked, "How's your investigation going on with the Iwagakure's logistics?"

Xingxiaxiu said: "The three routes have basically been explored clearly."

"On the surface, there seems to be no problem."

Jiraiya said, "On the surface, that means there's a problem?"

Xing Xiaxiu shook his head: "What I mean is, I can't see the problem yet, but my intuition tells me that there is a problem here."

Tsunade and the other two looked at him.

Hoshita Hide explained: "The reason why the Rock Ninja entered the Land of Rain so early was because I pretended to be a Rain Ninja and caused trouble in the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Birds." "The Rock Ninja suffered a great loss at my hands, so the Yamatsu brought his elite troops to encircle and suppress me."

"It's highly predictable that I'll be plotting against the Iwagakure's logistics after I show up in Bird Country."

Orochimaru listened and said, "So you think the Iwagakure will set a trap to kill you?"

Xingxiaxiu nodded.

Jiraiya frowned, "While that makes sense, it's a bit too uncertain."

Orochimaru pondered, "Attacking the enemy's logistics is the most basic tactic. The Iwagakure will definitely be prepared, so it's normal to have traps."

Tsunade cursed, "Stupid Jiraiya, a ninja's intuition is more accurate than intelligence."

Jiraiya wanted to roll his eyes when he heard that.

That wasn't what Tsunade had said the last time he'd spoken about his intuition.

Something is wrong. Something is really wrong!
Jiraiya's eyes rolled, looking back and forth between Hoshita Hide and Tsunade.

Xingxia Xiu glanced at Jiraiya and smiled: "There is indeed no evidence to prove it now, but it is not difficult to know whether the Iwagakure has set a trap."

Orochimaru asked, "A test?"

"But this will alert the Iwagakure ninja. If there are no traps, it will be even harder to attack again."

Xing Xiaxiu shook his head: "Three routes, it's impossible for us to solve them all at once with just a few people."

"Our mission is to unsettle the Iwagakure ninja's rear, not to actually cut off their logistics routes."

Tsunade and the other two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"So, how are you going to test it?"

Tsunade asked.

Xing Xiaxiu said: "Test them one by one!"

"I'm in the light, you're in the dark!"

"I'll use my clone to test it. If there's a trap, escape immediately."

"If there are no traps, we can take turns attacking in the open and in the dark."

This method is undoubtedly simple and crude.

But Xing Xiaxiu knows very well that sometimes the simpler the plan, the better, and the less likely it is to go wrong.

Tsunade and the other two exchanged glances, then agreed with Xingxia Xiu's plan.

Jiraiya took out a map and spread it out, with three logistical routes marked on it.

Obviously, they didn't think of relying solely on the intelligence from the roots.

"Which line do we start from?"

Jiraiya pointed at the map.

Xing Xiaxiu glanced at it and pointed to the nearest one: "Let's start from here!"

“This town is one of the nodes.”

"And this mountain is a warehouse."

"The warehouse is the key point, and it's most likely a trap. The clone will explore here, and you will sneak into the town."

"If it's not a trap, my movements will be very loud. You can notice a ball of light. At that time, you will take action and eliminate the living forces of the Rock Ninja."

"But don't fight too long. Harassing logistics is a protracted war."

Tsunade and the other two nodded.

Orochimaru said, "If it's a trap, then retreat immediately and fight on the other two routes."

"Number two, here it is!"

"From our investigation, this route is currently the main logistics line of the Iwagakure ninja and has the strongest defense force."

Xing Xiaxiu nodded and had no objection.

Soon, the plan was finalized by the four of them.

After the discussion, Xingxia Xiu got up and left.

Return to your own place.

Xing Xiaxiu looked at her status bar.

It will be refreshed soon.

“I hope the next one won’t be so bad.”
