The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

Upon hearing the news, Hatake Sakumo instantly understood the Sand Village's idea. Although he wanted to rescue the reconnaissance team along the way, he also knew it was too late. So he made a prompt decision and decided to take advantage of this information gap to deal a big blow to the Sand Village which was still in the dark.

Hatake Sakumo's plan was actually very simple. He used shadow clones to stay inside the camp, lure all the Sunagakure ninjas in, and then launch a counter-ambush.

So Hatake Sakumo quickly arranged his plan. The Konoha ninja had a high level of execution. In less than ten minutes, everyone had completed the evacuation. The only things left in the camp were a large number of shadow clones and a large number of prepared detonating tags.

"Yimu!" ​​Liu Yue, who was on her way, suddenly turned her head and whispered to her husband, "Should we reconsider it? I have a bad feeling!"

"No, June, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must seize it to kill the 'Konoha White Fang'! It has been found that there are less than 1500 ninja troops of Konoha Village in River Country, and there is only one person, Hatake Sakumo, who has reached the level of Kage!" Imu said fiercely, "Konoha suffered heavy losses in Rain Country and had to cease fire with the Hidden Rain Village. If they recover, they will definitely send reinforcements to River Country. We must take advantage of the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements and use our current superior forces to establish our advantage in River Country in one fell swoop, and strive to advance the front line to the territory of Fire Country!"

"If we miss this opportunity, unless Lord Fengying comes to the battlefield in person, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to gain an advantage later!" Yimu added.

As a commander, Yimu has a very good overall view. Indeed, at this time, Konoha is much stronger than Sand Village in terms of high-end combat power. If Konoha had not started fighting on multiple fronts, Sand Village would never have been able to gain an advantage. The war between Konoha and Rain Village is over. If they cannot gain an advantage before the reinforcements of Konoha arrive, once Konoha sends out more Kage-level strongmen, Sand Village,

Therefore, in Imu's eyes, this is the only chance for Sunagakure to completely defeat Konoha. As long as they can kill all the Konoha ninjas in River Country and commander Hatake Sakumo, Sunagakure will be able to gain an advantage in the war with Konoha.

Besides, the strength of the Sand Village was at its peak during this period. The quality and ability of the Sand Village ninjas were not much worse than that of Konoha. In addition, some elite ninjas mobilized from the village were almost twice the number of Konoha's side. In Imu's opinion, this was enough to encircle and annihilate all the Konoha ninjas.

"Okay...!" June was persuaded by Yimu, but there was still a trace of worry on her face.

"June, after this war is over, I will apply to my mother to be transferred back to the village, and we will go back together to take care of Scorpion, okay?" Yi Mu saw this and comforted him softly.

Hearing Yimu's words, June couldn't help but think of their 7-year-old son Xie. A hint of longing flashed in her eyes. They had been away from the village for almost two months.

He nodded at Imu, and neither of them said anything else as they were about to reach Konoha's camp.

"Puppet troops! Release the puppets! Let the puppets launch the first wave of attack, and then everyone will charge directly!" Yimu ordered loudly, and quickly released the puppets from the scroll.

At such a close distance, it would only take a few breaths to rush into Konoha's camp, and all the Konoha ninjas along the way had been killed. Yimu didn't believe that Konoha could still react, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.

Countless poisoned Thousand Bones, Kunai, Shurikens and Chakra shells were fired madly from puppets of various shapes towards the Konoha camp, and the Konoha camp was immediately filled with screams and wails.

But when some of the Sand Village ninjas rushed into the Konoha camp, suddenly, a loud explosion was heard, and a mushroom cloud rose slowly in the Konoha camp.

The Konoha ninjas detonated all the detonating tags that had been laid in advance!

But it must be said that Imu was a qualified commander. He was the first to give the puppeteer the order to use puppets for long-range attacks, which saved the lives of many Sand Village ninjas.

However, despite this, the chain explosions caused by a large number of detonating tags still reduced the number of Sand Village ninjas by nearly one-fifth, and many puppeteers' puppets were directly blown to pieces. Looking at his subordinates who suffered heavy casualties, Imu's eyes instantly turned red.

Unexpectedly, his wife's premonition came true. Their actions had already been discovered by Konoha and an ambush was set!

Yimu's heart was in great pain at this moment. These dead Sand Village ninjas were led to their doom by him. But there was no time for him to be sad anymore. The Konoha ninjas, led by Hatake Sakumo, had already killed them.

"Hatake Sakumo!" Imu roared with gritted teeth, and with full of anger, he directly controlled the puppet to attack the rushing Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo did not respond. His eyes focused and lightning flashed all over his body. His speed increased further. He pointed the White Fang dagger in his hand straight forward and rushed towards Yimu like lightning.

"White Fang Sword Technique: Flash!"

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the puppet in front of Yimu was instantly cut into two pieces. Yimu's pupils contracted drastically when he saw this. This "Konoha White Fang" was even stronger than the last time they fought!

Sakumo Hatake's idea was similar to Imu's. He also wanted to take this opportunity to defeat the Sand Village as soon as possible and end this damn war. His son Kakashi Hatake was only two years old. Because of the war, as a father, he basically never spent much time with Kakashi.

"June!" Imu roared. With the experience of the last fight, he knew that he was no match for Hatake Sakumo, not to mention that the opponent had become stronger.

June on the side quickly took out the scroll and released the remaining puppets.

Yimu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that June had successfully summoned all ten puppets. The chakra line broke away from the puppet he was originally controlling and quickly connected to the newly appeared puppet.

"White Secret Technique: Ten Machine Maneuvers!"

Two humanoid puppets rushed forward, cooperating with each other to attack Hatake Sakumo. The left puppet's arm changed, and a giant gear rotating at high speed stretched out with the sound of a mechanism. The other puppet's arm turned into a huge mace.

"Dang!" There was a sound of metal clashing. Hatake Sakumo raised his White Fang dagger to block the mace that was falling down, then used the force to dodge and avoid the cutting of the gears again.

The other eight puppets also surrounded them at this time. With the help of their mother Chiyo, Imu and June made great progress in using this forbidden technique compared to last time. Not only did they consume much less chakra, but the smoothness also reached a higher level.

Hatake Sakumo kept dodging under the siege of the puppets, constantly looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
