This unmarked node was marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol.

Next second,

Whoosh!

After a Flying Thunder God's Instant Flash,

When the red center reappeared, it was already dozens of kilometers away.

With a cautious glance around, Uchiha Kurenai realized that he was already at the edge of the dense forest.

Before me lay a vast lake, and at the edge of my vision, the outline of a village, predominantly black and gray with towering buildings and spires, appeared and disappeared in the rain.

The sensation spread instantly.

10cm below your feet, inside the rock strata, an inconspicuous Flying Thunder God kunai lies dormant.

This is the closest Flying Thunder God Mark to Amegakure.

It was probably a mark left by one of the clones that created it before entering Amegakure to gather intelligence.

"Is that Amegakure?"

He gazed intently into the distance, and the fortress shrouded in rain became increasingly clear.

The dark gray spires resembled cold fangs pointing towards the gloomy sky, their massive bodies prostrate on the earth, exuding a chilling aura that seemed ready to devour anyone who might harm them.

On the surface, it may just be a small ninja village in a small country, nothing to worry about.

But a silent warning was being sounded in the heart of the Red Army!

Because even this small Amegakure village has caused the organization to lose: two Kage-level clones and three Jonin clones.

Kage-level clone: ​​100 million super-Kage-level chakra, wielding all five elements with ease, and possessing a powerful bloodline limit technique!

Such combat power, even when encountering the younger Sannin, could easily pat them on the head, give them the so-called "Sannin" title, and earn them the title of "demigod".

Needless to say, Jonin clones are all slightly stronger than Kakashi-sensei.

As a result, the five powerful creation clones that entered Amegakure to gather intelligence were like a clay ox sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple.

This Rain Village is no ordinary place!

"Could it be that Hanzo is still as vigorous as ever despite his old age?"

The thought only lingered in his mind for a moment before being rejected by Hongzhong.

That old poisoner Hanzo is strong, but he's far from being able to devour such a powerful creature so silently!

The conclusion is obvious: something earth-shattering must have happened in Amegakure!

However, this change was not known to the outside world.

After all, Uchiha Kurenai had been traveling around the Land of Rain all day, and apart from the sound of rain, the bawdy jokes in the teahouse, and various bits of gossip, he had very little information about the inner workings of Amegakure.

Even after asking several people in the know, they all claimed to know nothing.

External detection doesn't work? What about internal infiltration?

Security was even tighter inside Amegakure.

To date, neither Lao Gan Die fast food, Xiaoyao pills, nor newspapers have obtained permission to enter the market.

In conclusion, the organization's intelligence database has not been updated regarding Amegakure, and according to known information, Hanzo remains the ruler of Amegakure.

No choice!

"It seems I'll have to go in and explore this den of dragons and tigers myself."

Hong Zhong sighed inwardly, while subtly fastening the top button of his raincoat, every movement exuding an air of meticulous caution.

First, confirm the principle for this operation: enter the village quietly, and do not fire shots.

The senses swept across the village again, finding a total of four Flying Thunder God coordinates.

Around one of the coordinate points, there was such a deathly silence that there was not even a trace of life.

Safety!

Whoosh!

The screen flashed,

Inside Rain Village, on a secluded platform, a figure shrouded in a dark gray raincoat suddenly appeared.

In the gap beside it, the specially made kunai that served as a coordinate was stuck inside, within easy reach.

This was placed by one of my clones.

Reaching out, he took the kunai and put it in his backpack.

Immediately, Hongzhong reached out and brushed his hand across the damp, cold wall, leaving a flower imprint on the wall that looked like a child's doodle but was actually the mark of the Flying Thunder God.

Only then did his wary gaze sweep over his surroundings.

The black and gray towers stand densely like the spines of a giant beast, their dozens of stories high resembling sharp swords piercing the leaden gray sky.

The Gothic spires and sharp, angular outlines appear even colder and more somber in the continuous rain, as if they want to cut and shatter the sunlight.

Even more striking is the dense network of thick pipes.

Like a grotesque network of blood vessels, they crisscross and coil around the exterior walls of all the high-rise buildings, supplying this steel behemoth with an unknown medium.

Suppressed!

Whether it's a monotonous black and gray building or a towering structure, they all convey this feeling!

"It actually has a steampunk vibe; all those pipes must be for drainage, right?"

After muttering to himself, he was about to look away.

pat~

A raindrop landed on the cool back of his hand, and the chakra contained within the raindrop made him pause.

"The raindrops contain chakra; is it some kind of sensory ninjutsu that uses rainwater as a medium?"

After a moment's thought, Hongzhong exclaimed in sincere admiration.

"I see. The weather in Amegakure is rainy for days on end. By mixing chakra into the rain, one can silently detect everything within the coverage area. Any intruder who dares to enter will be detected immediately."

"What a brilliant idea."

In just a moment, Kurenai learned this ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, he doesn't need such a clumsy method!

However, this explains why all the clones perished here—they were discovered as soon as they entered and then hunted down to their deaths!

That's pretty exciting!

A cold smile curled at the corner of Hong Zhong's lips. He was also trying to escape and was ready to play a cat-and-mouse game with this person!

In reality, judging from strength and status, it's hard to say who is the cat and who is the mouse.

Can,

Hongzhong knew that his goal was to gather intelligence, not to start a fight.

Ideally, one should gather intelligence before being caught by the cat.

Otherwise, we'll inevitably have to go through with it.

With this thought in mind, Uchiha Kurenai immediately began to move.

This sensory ninjutsu seems powerful, but it can only estimate a general location. In that case, we just need to blend into the crowd!

At the same time.

Inside a building, Payne suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Nan asked from beside him.

Pain remained expressionless. "My rain was blocked. This chakra sensation... the opponent is quite powerful."

"Is it the same three as before?" Speaking of this, Xiao Nan thought of the three people from not long ago.

“No,” Payne denied, “stronger than those three!”

The scene shifts.

The mid-level commercial street of Amegakure Village.

Just like before, it was still damp, oppressive, and suffocatingly desolate.

Moreover, although it's called a commercial street, its prosperity is nowhere near that of Konoha.

According to my chakra perception, this place has the highest foot traffic, but when I came over, there were only a handful of people.

Hong Zhong's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, silently sweeping across the street.

There were indeed dozens of figures moving around in the field of vision, all wearing raincoats, but it was nowhere near as crowded as it was in Konoha!

Moreover, the shops are also sparsely populated.

Interestingly, every household had a paper figure hanging in front of them.

"strangeness!"

With a sigh, Uchiha Kurenai withdrew his gaze.

He continued walking with his head down until he reached a building with a huge, dilapidated liquor bottle billboard hanging on it, at which point he stopped.

In my perception, this is the place with the most people.

Pushing open that heavy wooden door, a wave of noisy heat, carrying a strong smell of smoke and alcohol, hits you in a stark contrast to the deathly silence outside!

More than twenty people were crammed into this relatively narrow space. Groups of three or five ninjas were talking in hushed tones, their faces showing unusual ease; while ordinary drinkers were drinking silently.

The air here is polluted, filled with the smell of cheap alcohol, sweat, and mildew.

Just as Hongzhong hung the raincoat on the wall, he heard people talking loudly.

"Hey! Did you hear?"

A disheveled man wearing a Rain Ninja headband with a slash on it, his face flushed an unnatural red, exclaimed, "That demon named 'Uchiha Obito' has gone to the Land of Lightning to cause trouble!!"

"what?"
