After dealing with the small supply transport units of the two countries, Hoshino Yu immediately boarded the Thunderbird and headed towards the border of the Land of Rain, while Orochimaru's side was slowly advancing.

Upon receiving intelligence from the front lines, Orochimaru smiled slightly, his long tongue unconsciously licking back and forth at the corner of his lips.

"Is that Yu? He's one of the ninjas who recently took on missions in the Land of Rivers, isn't he?"

The ninja who came to report replied, "Lord Orochimaru, we don't know who did it yet. But according to intelligence, the area where those two groups appeared was hit by a large-scale thunderstorm, which is extremely unusual."

"A thunderstorm disaster?" Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "And the extent of it?"

"The approximate range is...encompassing the surrounding area for several kilometers. It doesn't seem like something that could be created by human hands, but there are indeed traces of chakra fluctuations."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's smile widened, and he said:

"Is that so? I understand. I'll investigate further and report back."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

After saying that, the ninja turned and left quickly.

Minato Namikaze, who was standing next to Orochimaru at that moment, had overheard the conversation clearly and immediately turned to ask:

"Orochimaru-sensei, could it be Yuu?"

"But it's unlikely that he can unleash a large-scale lightning release ninjutsu."

"No," Orochimaru looked at Minato and laughed, "it must have been Yu who did it."

Upon hearing this, Minato nodded slightly.

Although it seems unlikely, and his friend seems like a complete slacker, when it comes to causing trouble, Hoshino Yu is definitely the most capable of doing so.

As for why Orochimaru could immediately guess that it was Hoshino Yu's doing, it was primarily because of the other party's unparalleled mastery of Lightning Release ninjutsu, and because there was a certain area in the Land of Rivers that frequently experienced thunderstorms.

By utilizing high-intensity Lightning Release ninjutsu, one can naturally draw upon heavenly lightning for one's own use.

Furthermore, Hoshino Yu had also told his teacher about the development of Wanlei and the summoning beast Leishan.

As a teacher, he would naturally use all his abilities to nurture this highly talented student with such ambition.

So when the front line reported that lightning had struck enemy ninjas, he immediately knew that it must have been Hoshino Yu who had orchestrated it.

As for whether he would explain things to Minato, Orochimaru definitely wouldn't need to.

Their relationship is even better than his own, so he must be able to guess what the other is doing.

Seeing his other disciple, Minato Namikaze, deep in thought, Orochimaru suppressed his smile and said in his neutral voice:

"Minato, I told you long ago, what you and he know is not in the same direction."

"How's your Flying Thunder God technique going now?"

When his teacher asked him a question, Minato, snapping out of his daze, replied:

"Teacher, we've only been using this for a short time, but for now we can sense the location of the Flying Thunder God mark."

Orochimaru smiled upon hearing this.

Based on his understanding of the other disciple, Minato, since the other party had said such a thing, he was basically able to sense the location of the Flying Thunder God mark.

This talent for space-time ninjutsu was simply inconceivable to him.

He had seen the Flying Thunder God Technique being used by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, when he was a child.

All I can say is that if he were to encounter someone like Tobirama, he would definitely be no match for him in terms of speed alone.

So Orochimaru later studied the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he lacked the talent for it, so he simply stopped practicing it.

He felt incredibly lucky to have found such a valuable character as Minato on Taobao, and with Hoshino Yu appearing as well, he even managed to pull out two SSR cards.

With such a genius in his possession, the future Hokage position is surely his.

He nodded slightly and continued to direct the supply trucks to move quickly, making sure they reached the front line within three days.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Yu, relying on the speed of his lightning flash and lightning ninjutsu, had already arrived above the Land of Rain.

Although the Land of Rain has set up a protective barrier, it cannot be set up high in the sky.

As for Hoshino Yu, who is located in the clouds, even if he cannot see what is below, his Observation Haki, which has evolved into "Mind Field," can cover a range of about twelve kilometers.

At this moment, thousands of meters above the ground, one can easily know their location.

However, he did not come here to cause trouble in another country, but to carry out the mission of destroying the enemy's signaling devices.

As the saying goes, "an army marches on its stomach," and while supplies are important, intelligence also plays a significant role.

When two countries are locked in a battle and the difference in strength is not too great, intelligence becomes extremely important.

Even someone as powerful as Jiraiya, who entered the Land of Rain alone to investigate Pain's Six Paths, still died on the spot and was thrown into the sea to be fed to the fish.

However, thanks to "Mind Network", Hoshino Yu is also able to carry out targeted bombing.

For example, at this time, he had already located several intelligence outposts in the Land of Rain near the border of the Land of Rain and in the Land of Rivers near the Land of Fire.

Generally speaking, a region will definitely not have just one intelligence outpost; there are usually several or even dozens, distributed in a spider web pattern.

The advantage of doing this is that if the enemy breaks through from the outside, the intelligence outposts inside can receive the news immediately, take action, and choose whether to fight or retreat.

Hoshino Yu, on the other hand, was not afraid of this base mode. Since he was in the sky and had plenty of energy, a few lightning strikes would obliterate all the monsters and demons.

Moreover, their location is very safe, and even if the enemy has air units, they probably won't be able to reach them.

Unless it's a flying tailed beast, like that mosquito.

"Leishan, you have good eyesight, can you see the tall buildings below the clouds?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Shan looked down and, through the layers of white clouds, saw directly a high-rise area where ninjas were active.

"Yes, I can see them. There are some ninjas below."

Hoshino Yu tossed the roast chicken in her hand to Raisho, and said with a smile:

"In a moment, you'll be on my orders. Give them a good beating."

Lei Shang chewed on the piece of roasted meat that was barely filling his teeth, and chuckled softly:

"Just like before?"

"That's right, let's do something big again," Hoshino Yu said.

To unleash such a large-scale lightning strike, the lightning bolts need to be lowered slightly so that they are at a more suitable altitude.

Otherwise, although the lightning can strike down from high in the sky, it consumes a lot of energy, and because of the great distance, the probability of it being dodged by the Jonin below is also greater.

To ensure the mission goes smoothly, Hoshino Yu will naturally do everything in his power to destroy these signal devices and bases.

However, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared below.

In Hoshino Yu's perception, a large fish appeared in the middle of a group of small fish.

Moreover, this large fish was quite heavy.

Hoshino Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Such a massive chakra fluctuation... could it be Hanzo of the Salamander?"
