The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 131 Going deep into the enemy camp
"Master Hokage asked me to bring you this."

Rikimaru pointed to the backpack next to him, said to Jiraiya, and then took the food in the room and ate it.

"I came all the way here just to get to you as fast as possible. I didn't even care about eating. If you have any more delicious food, bring it to me."

Zilai also snorted, "Why don't you starve to death, I'll find someone to bring you food right now."

After going out to give orders, he turned back and asked, "Do you have anything to tell me, old man?"

"Master Hokage told you to stick to the border and never let Iwagakushi break through the border, otherwise the nobles and daimyos in the country will put pressure on him, so it's up to you."

"Rely on me? How? There are only so few people, and it's not enough for Yan Yin to plug his teeth. Now they haven't rushed over, but they don't know our specific situation, and they are afraid that our Konoha will counterattack, but as time goes on, we have no Can't stop them."

If it was an ordinary time, Zirai must have confidence, but he has already learned that Yanyin Village has sent thousands of ninjas to the border, and now he has gathered teams from several strongholds, as well as reinforcements, but the total is too much. But two 300 people.

Hundreds of people are fighting against thousands of people, no matter how you look at it, there is no need to fight. After all, not every Konoha ninja is an elite, and one can stand up to ten.

Rikimaru said with a smile: "Master Hokage has sent a support force, led by the village's elite Jonin, but their speed is not as fast as mine. It may take several days for the large force to get here. What we have to do, Just hold on for a while."

"It's easy to say, but you have never been in contact with a real war. The war changes rapidly, and the winner may be decided in an instant. In a few days, there are too many things that may happen." Ji Lai also shook his head and sighed. .

He is different from Rikimaru, who has never participated in the war. The war is cruel and ever-changing. If Iwagakushi attacks desperately and frantically, they have absolutely no chance to resist it now, and the border will definitely fall.

"There is no way, then we can only work hard."

Riki shrugged. He has never experienced war, but it does not mean that he does not know the cruelty of war. He has also experienced the test of life and death. Is there anything more terrifying than death?
Maybe, but he hasn't had the chance to face it yet.

"Master Hokage gave me an order to collect information on Hidden Rock Village and find out their specific situation."

"Are you going alone?"

Jiraiya's face changed, the current situation is different from the original one, some time ago, Iwagakushi didn't know that Rikimaru had sneaked in, so naturally he was unprepared.

But this time is different, this time is a time of war, even if it is not in the Land of Earth, the large army of Yanyin Village will definitely guard against death, and it is absolutely impossible for Konoha's people to sneak in.

Even if Riki has special abilities, there may not be a chance, and the process will definitely be full of danger. Once exposed, it will be more dangerous than last time, so Jiraiya is naturally very worried.

"It's safest for me to go alone. It's more dangerous if I bring others with me."

Of course Riki knew that sneaking into the enemy camp was dangerous, but if he was alone, even if he was discovered, he would still have a chance to escape, but if he brought other people with him, it would be hard to say.

He once experimented that when he brought other people, he couldn't use Riki's skills and flashing daggers, so he was more suitable for single-handed actions, not team actions.

"Ugh."

Ji Lai also sighed, in times of war, everyone is naturally in danger, and it is indeed very dangerous to go to the enemy's camp to check for information, but who can guarantee that it will be safe to sit in the rear?
What's more, Rikimaru's ability is rare to come across, and a good sword must be used wisely.

"So far, how many attacks has Yanyin launched?"

When he was in Iwagakure, the third Tsuchikage decisively refused to cooperate. Riki knew that the little old man was ambitious. When he came here before, although there were no traces of fighting, it is impossible for Iwagakushi not to launch an attack.

Zilai also said: "Twice, they have launched two attacks here, but they were blocked by us and killed many of them, but we also suffered serious losses, otherwise, I would not have done this." Quickly ask for help, there are too many rock ninjas."

During the battle a few days ago, wave after wave of Iwain, their scalps felt numb since they came. These Iwanin are simply lunatics. They rushed forward regardless of losses. If it wasn't for his strong strength, their defense line It is very likely that it will be breached.

"Okay, I'll go check first, see how many people they have come, and then look at their route, I guess it will take a while to come back, Mr. Jiraiya, you should take precautions and wait for reinforcements .”

Since Jiraiya also said the situation was so critical, Rikimaru knew that there was no longer any delay, so he proposed to act as soon as possible.

"Sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood. You have just come from a long way. Take a rest and go tomorrow."

Although using the flashing dagger does not consume chakra, it requires high physical fitness when teleporting. In addition, the daring to come all the way will consume a lot of physical strength, so fatigue can still be seen on Riki's face.

After thinking about it for a while, Rikimaru agreed to Jiraiya, and decided to rest for one night before acting.

Before dawn the next day, Rikimaru had already bid farewell to Jiraiya, left alone, crossed the border, and went to the Country of Grass to investigate the situation of Iwagakure.

The Land of Grass is located between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. The north is the Land of Earth, the southeast is the Land of Fire, and the southwest is the Land of Rain.

The Country of Grass is a smaller country than the Country of Rain. Although there is a Grass Ninja Village in the country, it is much inferior to the Ninja Village in the Country of Rain, not to mention comparable to Konoha and Iwagakure.

This time, Yan Yin passed through the Country of Grass and attacked Konoha, but the Country of Grass dared not let it go. Not only that, but also asked Yan Yin Village to establish a temporary garrison in its own country.

Rikimaru is going to investigate the Country of Grass. It is necessary to find out where the ninjas of Iwagakure are stationed in the Country of Grass, and also to find out the number of ninjas and important members of Iwagakure Village, so the task is very heavy.

Riki didn't use the flashing dagger to teleport, his purpose was to investigate information, if he teleported directly, he might miss too many things, and it was easy to make mistakes.

As for the flying messenger, he didn't dare to fly at low altitude, otherwise it would be easy to be spotted, and after increasing the distance, the situation below would not be very clear, so it would not work to rely on the flying messenger's field of vision to detect.
