To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

"Master Hanzo, today is still the same as always."

The Amegakure ANBU reports to Salamander Hanzo.

"Reducing the frequency of attacks, creating the illusion of a shortage of supplies, hoping to lure us into a trap and break out."

Salamander Hanzo snorted coldly: "You're trying to pull that trick again!"

In the past period of time, Konoha's inhumane attacks have become less frequent. Salamander Hanzo guessed that it was because the enemy's supply of weapons and materials was insufficient.

Even though the Fire Nation is wealthy, it can't afford to keep spending money like this for a long time.

Immediately, he led the Rain Ninja troops to launch a general attack and break out.

Then came a sudden wake-up call and a sudden blow.

The Fire Nation is really that rich, richer than poor Salamander Hanzo could have imagined!

In that battle, the Rain Village Ninja Army suffered heavy losses, and Salamander Hanzo himself was slashed by Hatake Sakumo. Fortunately, the cut missed, otherwise he would have died on the spot.

Salamander Hanzo felt the pain from his wound and wanted to curse in his heart.

He, Hanzo of the Salamander, will never fall into the trap a second time!

"Don't worry about them, just defend as usual."

The Amegakure ANBU nodded and left.

Salamander Hanzo had an ugly look on his face and pounded the table in front of him hard, making a loud noise.

"It's really rich and mouth-watering."

But wealthy countries have abundant resources and the strongest military force to guarantee their survival.

It is really difficult to snatch food from a tiger's mouth.

Salamander Hanzo turned his head and looked in the direction of the Rain Country.

It was no use staying here all the time. He thought, maybe it's time to retreat back to the Rain Country.

The goal of provoking a war between Sunagakure and Konoha has been achieved, and there are still more resources left from plundering the Land of Fire.

It is no longer possible to get a few more bites of meat, so it is feasible to consider retreating now.

"The battle between the two great powers is more important. The Rain Country should be able to remain unscathed..."

Salamander Hanzo was wearing a gas mask, spewing purple smoke from his mouth, his eyes flickering, as if thinking about something.

......

"As you expected, Shikano, the Salamander Hanzo has fallen into the trap."

Hearing his friend's words, Nara Shikano shook his head and smiled: "Hanzo Salamander is a cautious person, as can be seen from the fact that he assigned himself guards who rotate 24 hours a day."

"He suffered a loss once, and he will never suffer a loss again."

A friend teased, "It's a pity that our weapons supply really had problems this time. Salamander Hanzo's suspicion and caution actually caused him to miss a good opportunity."

Nara Shikano looked at his friend helplessly: "Whose side are you on? Why are you so pitiful for the enemy?"

Nara Shikano stroked his goatee, his eyes sparkling.

Salamander Hanzo's intelligence capabilities are not very good, and there are indeed problems with their military equipment and supplies.

The problem was due to the wandering and trouble-making Sand Village ninjas. They raided the roads where supplies were being transported and caused damage, resulting in a shortage of weapons for several days.

Because of the poison of the salamander, they were unable to engage in large-scale close-range combat and chose a long-range, money-burning strategy, consuming large amounts of military equipment and supplies almost every day.

The supply was insufficient for a few days, resulting in the consumption of military equipment on one side and the shortage of supply on the other side, resulting in a gap.

It is true that their attack frequency has decreased, and it is also true that there are problems with the supply of military equipment and materials.

It is also true that Hanzo of the Salamander is cautious and suspicious.

Nara Shikano breathed a sigh of relief: "Hanzo of the Salamander is stable, now it's up to Sakumo."

After a long time, no matter how suspicious Hanzo is, he will find that there is a problem.

Nara Shikano walked out of the tent and looked towards the south, hoping that Sakumo's battle would be successful this time.

......

"Lord Orochimaru, the Sunagakure is attacking again!"

Sensing the message from the ninja, Orochimaru did not dare to delay and quickly assembled the ninja troops to fight against the Sand Village.

The Konoha ninjas in the tent looked calm. Such battles happened almost every day and were not surprising.

"Eh? Where is Lord Chonghua?"

Makoto Yamagami followed the troops and looked around, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Where was the Uchiha Shigeka-sama he respected? They were clearly having a pleasant conversation yesterday.

A ninja who also wanted to follow Uchiha Shigeka said with emotion: "Master Shigeka is different from us. Although we are all Chunin, our strength is not in the same dimension."

"With Lord Chonghua's ability, he will definitely be given an important task. He must be carrying out some confidential mission."

Great talents should not be wasted. A person like Lord Chonghua must be doing something of great importance in secret!

The ninja glanced at Yamagami Makoto and said, "You should focus on yourself. I don't want to see your name on the memorial tablet."

"Same here." Shan Shangcheng said, and continued: "I don't want to die here, I still want to follow Master Chonghua and work for him!"

"me too!"

The two looked at each other and then smiled at each other.

"For Master Chonghua!"

The two of them had firm eyes and spoke in unison.

......

At this time, Uchiha Shigeka was following Hatake Sakumo, quietly moving forward in the dense forest.

Everyone was dressed as an Anbu, with animal masks on their faces and hoods covering their bodies and hair, hiding in the shadows.

"The other side also has sensory ninjas, Quan De, you must observe carefully."

Hatake Sakumo gave instructions and Hinata Izumi nodded.

Under the mask, a pair of white eyes observed the surroundings.

This is the territory occupied by the Sand Village, so you must always be careful of the enemy.

Hinata Izumitsu suddenly turned his head and looked towards the west.

"Captain, the battle has begun."

Hatake Sakumo nodded. The main forces of Sunagakure and Konoha were fighting, and all attention was drawn there. The possibility of being discovered was greatly reduced, but not completely eliminated.

The Sand Village team patrolling the rear cannot be ignored.

"Lord Sakumo, there is a Sunagakure team in the northwest."

At this moment, Uchiha Shigeka suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

Upon hearing this, Hinata Izumide looked towards the northwest, but did not see any members of the Sunagakure team within the field of vision of his Byakugan.

He said unhappily and dissatisfiedly: "Uchiha Shigeka, there is no Sand Village team you mentioned, please don't make a sudden noise and cause a commotion!"

Someone sneered: "I am really shocked. Are the Uchiha family so confident that they dare to brag in front of the Hyuga clan."

Uchiha Shigeka didn't care about the ridicule, he looked at Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo seemed to be thinking about something. He had had many contacts with Uchiha Shigeka, and he was not a person who talked big. On the contrary, he was very steady and confident.

Hatake Sakumo looked deeply at Uchiha Shigeka.

"keep going."

The captain spoke, and this sudden incident stopped and they continued to move forward.

"Um!?"

After walking for a distance, Hinata Quande suddenly stopped and spoke, with an expression of disbelief under the mask.

He looked at Uchiha Shigeka in surprise and doubt.

Seeing Hinata Quande stop, the others looked at him in confusion.

Hatake Sakumo thought of something and said in a deep voice: "Quan De, what did you find?"

Hinata Quande rolled his throat and swallowed, "To the northwest... there is a Sunagakure team."

......

Chapter 66: Yes, the mission failed

The ninja who had mocked Uchiha Shigeka before said in surprise: "Quan De, are you telling the truth?!"

Hinata Quande nodded and said affirmatively: "It is true, the Sand Village team did appear in the northwest direction."

"Uchiha Shigeka is right."

There really is a Sand Village team there, but... Hinata Izumi is puzzled.

He didn't even notice the Roll of Eyes, so how did Uchiha Shigeka know that the Sand Village team existed there?

Hiashi had told him that Uchiha Shigeka's perception ability was very strong, but was it so strong that it was stronger than the Byakugan? Impossible! ?

Uchiha Shigeka could sense the surprise of the others. He did not explain, but looked at Hatake Sakumo and said, "Sakumo-senpai, what do you mean? Do you want to deal with them?"

Hatake Sakumo suppressed his surprise, nodded and said: "Shigeka, Quande, the two of you keep an eye on the situation of the Sand Village team, we will bypass them."

Hatake Sakumo said in a low voice: "Our mission this time requires quietness and secrecy."

They set out again.

Uchiha Shigeka commanded Hatake Sakumo and others to bypass the Sand Village team.

During this period, after every command from Uchiha Shigeka, the others would look at Hinata Izumitsu.

Knowing that they wanted to confirm whether what Uchiha Shigeka said was right, they still doubted Uchiha Shigeka's perception ability.

There's no way, it's beyond the Byakugan's perception ability... Anyone would doubt it if I told them this.

But Hinata Izumide proved that what Uchiha Shigeka said was absolutely correct, without a single mistake.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

There was a solemn look in his eyes as he looked at Uchiha Shigeka. This child of the Uchiha clan was no ordinary person.

They had previously complained about Captain Sakumo's decision to allow Uchiha Shigeka to participate in this secret mission.

Now that I see this perception ability that surpasses the Byakugan, I understand. He is worthy of being Captain-General Sakumo.

They knew very well what the presence of an excellent and powerful perceptive ninja meant to secret missions.

If Hatake Sakumo knew what they were thinking, he would be speechless.

He invited Uchiha Shigeka entirely because of his powerful strength.

Hatake Sakumo was sure that, apart from himself, no one in this team could defeat Uchiha Shigeka.

However...Hatake Sakumo glanced sideways, with surprise in his heart.

It is a pleasant surprise to have such a powerful perception ability.

"and many more!"

At this time, Hinata Quande stopped everyone, and the others looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Hinata Quande frowned and looked forward: "Captain, there is an ambush ahead."

Hinata Quande pointed there: "These threads are connected to the kunai and shuriken, and there are some detonating tags buried there."

"There, there are puppet mechanisms and some unknown liquids hidden... they must be highly poisonous!"

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo made a gesture and everyone moved forward slowly, bypassing the ambush.

When they passed by there, Hinata Quande reminded them, and they saw the thin silk threads and the kunai shuriken flashing cold light hidden in the blind corner of the treetops.

I haven't seen the detonating talismans and puppets, but with these examples before me, it goes without saying.

They quietly avoided this place.

After reaching a safe place, they looked at Uchiha Shigeka.
