The three of us slowly and stealthily advanced forward, and with the help of the Byakugan and Sharingan, we safely reached the vicinity of the Rain Village.

As an emerging ninja village that has greatly increased its power in recent years and even dared to declare war on the three major ninja villages at the same time, the Rain Village, which has not been affected by the war, is also relatively prosperous.

Similar to Konoha, patrols and daily guards are responsible for maintaining order and security near and within the village. Due to the war, the patrol frequency and the vigilance of the ninja are very high, making it difficult to sneak in silently here.

Of course, this mission does not require sneaking into the Rain Village. You only need to collect as much information about the Rain Village as possible. For my Byakugan, although it cannot cover the entire Rain Village, I can basically complete the mission by walking around the village.

The three of us hid in a small forest next to the Rain Village. Minato and Shinichi were on guard at the treetops, while I had already activated my pupil power, opened my Byakugan, and looked towards the Rain Village.

As a ninja village that has only risen in the last decade or so because of the demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo of the Salamander, the Rain Village is not as well organized as Konoha's.

From my perspective, I can clearly see traces of the expansion of Rain Village. The central circle should be the original scope of Rain Village. Later, as the scope of the village continued to expand outward, the buildings became newer as they were closer to the village entrance.

Of course, the most important thing is the information about the Rain Ninja. With my current pupil power and Byakugan development, I can probably cover a quarter of the Rain Ninja Village.

The largest group are naturally ordinary villagers, those who have the potential to be ninjas but are only Genin, or those who are not even Genin. Since they have not been affected by the war, they still live a normal life.

As for the jonin and chuunin who were capable of participating in the war, due to the wartime reasons they were concentrated in several camps or training grounds so that they could set out at any time to support the front lines in all directions.

There are two ninja gathering points within my sight alone. I estimate that the number of ninjas will not be less than the number of ninjas in the previous Rain Ninja Camp. It seems that the strength of the Rain Ninjas should not be underestimated.

Just when I was about to change my position and continue observing another area of ​​the Rain Village, I suddenly discovered that a ninja gathering place became restless. The Rain Ninjas filed out and headed out of the village. The direction they were heading was towards the Konoha camp on the border of the Land of Grass.

I used my Byakugan to observe carefully, but suddenly I exclaimed, and it was an iconic ninja that caught my attention.

He was seen standing in the middle of the Rain Ninjas, wearing a grey ninja vest and a black cape covering half of his body. What was even more iconic was the gas mask on his head. He was none other than Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village and the demigod of the Ninja World, who single-handedly launched the Second Ninja World War.

I was shocked. I didn't expect that Hanzo, the Rain Shadow, would take action so early. According to my memory, Jiraiya and his two companions were probably not his match. In the end, he was in a hurry to rush to the battlefield with the Sand Ninja, and finally stopped fighting with Konoha. It was barely a draw.

Just when I was feeling anxious, I suddenly saw Salamander Hanzo looking up in my direction. Although I knew his eyesight couldn't see that far, it was obvious that with the keenness of a demigod in the ninja world, he had already noticed my gaze.

He frowned and pointed in the direction of the three of us. He immediately separated three ninja teams from the team, and twelve ninjas rushed towards us.

As expected, Hanzo of the Salamander, who is known as the demigod of the ninja world, was able to sense my location with his spiritual sense just by looking at me.

I said to Minato and Shinichi with a serious face: "The Rain Ninjas have set out, and judging from the direction they are heading towards the Konoha camp, and I found that the Rain Shadow Salamander Hanzo is also among them."

As the current number one in the ninja world, Minato and Shinichi naturally knew what it meant for Hanzo of the Salamander to personally participate in the battle, and their faces suddenly changed.

"Also, he sensed my sight. There are three teams of ninjas heading in our direction. We can't get entangled with them here."

I said to Minato: "You are the fastest. Go back to the Konoha camp first and pass the information to Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Let them prepare for the battle in advance."

"Shinichi and I will go back to the side to attract the enemy's pursuit and delay them for as long as possible." It is impossible for the three of us to fight them in the heart of the Rain Ninjas. We can only fight and retreat.

But we needed to send the information back to Konoha camp as soon as possible, so we had to split our forces into two groups. Let Minato, who was the fastest, return to Konoha camp first, while Shinichi and I would attract the approaching Rain Ninja.

The situation was urgent and we didn't have time to say anything more. Minato also knew that this was the best way at the moment, so he didn't hesitate. He nodded at us and left at high speed in the direction we came from.

Shinichi and I looked at each other, cleaned up the traces left by Minato's departure, and ran to the side without deliberately concealing the movement and traces of our departure.

When several teams of ninjas sent by Salamander Hanzo arrived, Shinichi and I had already run for a distance. Since we did not deliberately sneak, the Rain Ninjas easily locked onto our direction and chased after us.
