This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"I trust your strength, but you still have to be careful."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw a scroll into Tsunade's hands.

Tsunade did not hesitate. She opened the scroll and read the content of the task in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then destroyed the scroll on the spot.

"I've got it clear, old man."

"Let's talk about it when I get back."

After saying that, Tsunade no longer paid attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen and turned to leave the Hokage's office.

Looking at Tsunade's somewhat lost back, a trace of helplessness flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

This is how the ninja world is. The more glamorous the appearance is, the more hardships you have to endure for this honor, which ordinary people cannot understand.

Even a princess of the Senju clan could not escape the shackles of this fate.

“I hope you can figure it out soon.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself, and then stopped dwelling on it.

On the contrary, it was another matter that made him dare not take it lightly at all.

Looking at the information feedback from the Anbu on the table, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn.

In recent days, a large number of undercover agents lurking within the Rain Ninja have been unable to be contacted.

Considering the recent actions of the Rain Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen is certain that the Rain Village may be about to make a big move.

Three days ago, an informant from Konoha within the Rain Ninja clan passed on the final information, and then fell into silence and lost contact.

The incident involving the Rain Ninja made Sarutobi Hiruzen smell danger.

Therefore, a powerful ninja must be sent to Rain Ninja as soon as possible to investigate what happened.

To this end, Sarutobi Hiruzen even resorted to using Tsunade, Konoha's trump card!

Chapter 148: Live in the Eyes

In this country where rain never stops, a group of dusty guests arrived today.

This is a caravan heading from the Water Kingdom to the Rain Kingdom, carrying raw materials for a medicine that is a specialty of the Water Kingdom.

Because the supplies were scarce, after arriving in the Rain Country, the officials in charge of the inspection gave the caravan the green light all the way.

The only place in the Land of Rain that has a huge demand for this kind of medical supplies is naturally the Rain Village, so the destination of this caravan is the Rain Village.

In just less than a month, the caravan completed the journey from the Water Kingdom to the Rain Kingdom.

And this is all thanks to the ninja team that escorted the caravan.

Because of the possible dangers along the way, the caravan naturally hired ninjas to escort them. Since they were leaving from the Land of Water, they naturally hired the Mist Ninjas from the Land of Water.

The level of this kind of mission usually does not exceed C-level, and there will usually be no senior ninjas in the Mist Ninja team responsible for the escort.

But based on the caravan owner's extensive experience, he felt that the strength of the ninjas in this team seemed to be extraordinary.

Along the way, not only some petty thieves, but even some exiled ninjas were almost instantly killed by the escorting ninjas.

Even an outsider like the caravan owner could see some clues.

Of course, it is better to have less trouble than more, and the caravan boss understands this.

Finally, the caravan arrived at the gate of Rain Village.

After negotiations with the caravan owner, the caravan successfully entered the Rain Village.

Before that, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, the caravan boss had already settled the wages of several Mist Ninjas before entering the Rain Village and let the Mist Ninja team leave.

The transaction went very smoothly. After the caravan owner delivered the goods to the designated location, Yu Ren, who was in charge of the acceptance, readily paid the remuneration to the caravan owner, which made the owner overjoyed.

Afterwards, the boss distributed the wages to the men in the caravan, and after some rest, they prepared to return to the Water Kingdom for the next business trip.

But at this moment, the three guys suddenly expressed their intention to resign to the boss.

Although the boss was surprised by this, he did not try to keep him.

It was a time of chaos, and there were as many guys like this as the boss wanted, so the boss naturally didn't care.

After leaving the caravan, the three men seemed to have been prepared and came to an extremely secluded hut in the Rain Village.

Mizunoe Ryosuke took off his raincoat, then released his transformation technique, revealing his original appearance.

Afterwards, the two people beside Ryosuke also released their transformation techniques one after another, revealing their original appearance.

The two people were none other than Ryosuke's "number one confidant" Kaguya Yuuta, and "number two confidant" Momochi Zabuza.

That’s right, the three guys who just said goodbye to the caravan boss were Ryosuke and his two companions.

This is actually a method used by Ryosuke and others to infiltrate the Rain Village.

Along the way, Ryosuke and the other two first disguised themselves as ordinary Mist Ninjas to carry out the task of escorting the caravan. When they arrived at the gate of Rain Village, the three of them replaced the three men in the caravan, thus achieving the purpose of sneaking into Rain Village quietly.

As early as a month ago, Ryosuke had already dispatched Hoshigaki Kisame to lead a large number of White Shark troops to infiltrate the Rain Village, preparing for Ryosuke's arrival in advance.

No one thought that the Fourth Mizukage, who was at the top of the ninja world, would sneak into the Rain Village quietly.

In fact, this information is also top secret within Kirigakure, and no more than five people know about it.

This stronghold was reserved by the White Shark Force for Ryosuke's arrival.

As the deputy commander of the White Shark Force, Zabuza Momochi followed the traces left by members of the White Shark Force on the street and led the three people into this "safe house" according to the instructions.

At the same time, on the way here, Zabuza Momochi left unique traces of the White Shark Force in various places in Rain Village, indicating the arrival of the three people.

It won't be long before members of the White Shark Force who had previously infiltrated the Rain Village will come to meet up with Ryosuke and the other two.

"Zabuza, well done."

After some careful infiltration, Ryosuke was very satisfied with the performance of the White Shark Corps, so he began to praise Zabuza Momochi without hesitation.

Hearing the voice, a hint of excitement flashed in Zabuza Momochi's eyes.

"I am willing to die for you!"

At that moment, Zabuza Momochi knelt on one knee and shouted excitedly.

Normally, with Kaguya Yuuta, his "number one confidant", and Hoshigaki Kisame, his "number one confidant", blocking the way, Zabuza Momochi has no chance to show himself.

Zabuza had to wait a long time to get the opportunity to show his abilities in front of the "leader".

Now, he finally got a chance, how could Zabuza let it go?

"Huh? Why do you look murderous?"

Zabuza Momochi lowered his head and felt a chill on his neck. There seemed to be a hint of murderous aura in the room.

Behind Ryosuke, Kaguya Yuuta looked at Zabuza Momochi with an extremely unfriendly look, and his burly body exuded a hint of malice.

"Get up quickly."

"During special times, this is unnecessary."

Although he was very satisfied with Zabuza Momochi's loyalty, Ryosuke still stopped Zabuza's behavior.

Along the way, the two of them performed quite well due to the mission. Now that they have lifted the transformation technique, they naturally have nothing to worry about.

"Yes, my lord!"

Zabuza immediately stood up and respectfully brought a chair for Mizunoe Ryosuke.

In response, Mizunoe Ryosuke did not hesitate and simply bent down to sit down.

Kaguya Yuuta stared at Zabuza Momochi's action of moving the chair, and the murderous intent in his eyes was no longer concealed at all.

"Good boy, are you stealing my job?"

Kaguya Yuuta's eyes flashed, and 660's iron fists clenched and made crackling sounds.

He didn't expect that after sending away not only Hoshigaki Kisame, but also Zabuza Momochi.

At this moment, Zabuza Momochi finally discovered the source of the murderous intent. Looking at Kaguya Yuuta's ferocious face, Zabuza Momochi's heart skipped a beat.

Just thinking about being a bootlicker, oh no, serving the leader.

How could I forget about this evil star?

After all, whether it is his rank and status within Kirigakure or his current personal strength.

Zabuza Momochi is still inferior to Yuuta Kaguya and Kisame Hoshigaki.

To the extent that Zabuza Momochi has always been the "second most trusted confidant" in Ryosuke's heart.

If he had provoked Kaguya Yuuta, he would probably have to settle the score with this person later.

But Momochi Zabuza was also a little puzzled. Wasn't it just moving a chair? Was such a small matter worth getting so angry?

You don't think there's anything to do, but you don't let him do it. What's the logic behind this?

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

In an instant, Zabuza Momochi's eyes flashed and he pricked up his ears. After confirming that the secret code was correct, Zabuza opened the door.

Outside the door, a tall and thin man in a raincoat slowly walked in, then took off the hood of the raincoat, revealing a face with several scars like fish gills.

The person who came was none other than Hoshigaki Kisame, who had rushed over immediately after seeing the signal left by Momochi Zabuza!

Chapter 149, Demigod's Bet

"Hoshigaki Kisame greets His Excellency!"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are still as elegant as ever. With you personally visiting the Rain Village, it's only a matter of time before we can flatten the Rain Village!"

The moment he saw Ryosuke Mizunoe, Hoshigaki Kisame didn't hesitate at all. He knelt on one knee and greeted Ryosuke respectfully.

Then he flattered Ryosuke without hesitation.

"Kisame, you don't have to be so polite."

"During special times, there's no need to resort to this."

Mizunoe Ryosuke chuckled and helped Hoshigaki Kisame up in front of him.

Although he said "I don't buy it", his smile was very genuine.

Kaguya Yuuta looked at Hoshigaki Kisame with jealousy and hatred.

"Okay, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, why are you flattering so well?"

Then, Kaguya Yuuta glanced between Zabuza Momochi and Kisame Hoshigaki with contempt.

He asked why they were all like this, it turned out that "the upper beam is crooked, so the lower beams are crooked."

Humph! You said jealousy? It can't be jealousy!

He doesn't envy these skills of flattery!

Of course, if we ignore Kaguya Yuuta's little movements at this moment, he did not lie.

At an angle that Ryosuke and the other two could not see, a part of Kaguya Yuuta's bones silently extended from his body.

At this moment, Kaguya Yuuta was quietly reaching out his hand and using his fingernails to carve all of Hoshigaki Kisame's words on this part of the bone, so that he could study them carefully in the future.

"I won't go into any more small talk."

"Kisame, please explain the information you have."

Without much greeting, Ryosuke directly asked Hoshigaki Kisame about the business.

So, Hoshigaki Kisame first reported the work at hand to Ryosuke, and then talked about the intelligence recently collected by the White Shark Force.

"Not long ago, a large-scale purge operation was launched within the Rain Ninja."

"A large number of spies from other ninja villages were all captured by the Rain Ninja."

"Hanzo even personally took action and publicly executed several of the more troublesome spies."

"The actions of the Rain Ninja have directly provoked several nearby major ninja villages. As a result, the major ninja villages have launched retaliatory actions in recent days. Fighting breaks out in the Rain Ninja Village almost every night."

Hoshigaki Kisame said this in a serious tone, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Soon, he continued.

"This isn't over yet."

"A large number of Rain Ninjas have begun to flee from the Rain Ninja Village, and they have also taken away a large amount of supplies."
