Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

But Minato didn't actually see the real situation of the Rain Ninja, he was just relaying it through my description, and the situation was critical at the time, so I didn't have time to explain it to him in detail.

I just told him that there were signs that the Rain Ninjas were moving out in large numbers, and there was a figure who looked like the Rain Shadow Salamander Hanzo, who was also acting among them.

Seeing me and Shinichi return safely, Jiraiya and Minato were very happy. Minato came forward and saw the wrinkles and bloodstains on my and Shinichi's clothes, and asked with concern: "How are you, you didn't get hurt?"

"It's okay. There were several ninja teams chasing us. We defeated one and got rid of two. It was relatively smooth." Shinichi and I turned around to signal that everything was fine. The bloodstains also belonged to the pursuing Rain Ninjas.

"Yunyu, now that you are back, tell me in detail the intelligence you have gathered." After all, it was the information I observed with my Byakugan, and Teacher Jiraiya asked me to report in detail.

"We sneaked all the way to the vicinity of Rain Village and did not find anything unusual. However, when I opened the Byakugan to investigate near Rain Village, I found that there were at least three places where ninjas gathered in the village."

I sorted out my words and continued, "We were originally planning to change directions and continue investigating to find out the situation in Rain Village, but we didn't expect that there would be movement in one of the ninja gathering places."

"They set out to gather at the village entrance. From the looks of it, they were heading towards our Konoha camp. I wanted to investigate the exact number and strength of the Rain Ninjas, but I didn't expect to find a ninja who looked like the Rain Shadow Hanzo. "

"Hanzo of the Salamander?" Tsunade repeated solemnly. As the currently recognized demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo of the Salamander's strength is beyond the reach even of the three ninjas.

"I'm sure he is right. His attire is similar to that of the legendary demigod in the ninja world, especially the mask and trachea that prevent him from breathing in toxins and accidentally hurting others. He must be unique in the ninja world."

"What's more, when I opened my Byakugan and observed him outside the Rain Village, he discovered my presence with just his spiritual sense, so we were chased by several Rain Ninja teams."

Now that I think about it, Hanzo of the Salamander is indeed worthy of his reputation. With his Byakugan's extremely long-range vision, which is unique in the ninja world, he was able to sense my peeping from afar.

"I didn't expect that a dignified Rain Shadow would appear on the front line so soon. This will put a lot of pressure on our side."

Orochimaru licked his lips. After all, for Jiraiya Orochimaru who is still a young man, Hanzo of the Salamander who is currently in his prime is not inferior to, and may even be stronger than their teacher, the Third Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It is estimated that the situation on the battlefield of the Land of Earth or the Land of Wind is unfavorable to the Rain Ninjas. After all, the Land of Rain does not have as profound foundation as our major ninja villages. Only Hanzo of the Salamander can take action personally." Teacher Jiraiya analyzed.

"The reason why he appears here is no longer important. The problem is how we should respond. With our current strength, I'm afraid it is not enough to deal with the Rain Ninjas led by Salamander Hanzo." Tsunade interrupted the speculation about why Salamander Hanzo came in person and wanted to discuss how to respond.

"We still need to confirm the accurate information of the Rain Ninja first, and then pass the information back to the village, although the village's support may not be able to catch up with this battle." Teacher Jiraiya didn't have any good solution, so he could only make preparations first.

"There's no need to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige. Even if the three of us join forces, we may not be afraid of Hanzo of the Salamander." Orochimaru was eager to try and wanted to fight Hanzo of the Salamander.

While the people in the tent were discussing, Nawaki stepped in and said, "Teacher, according to the report from our Konoha reconnaissance team, there is indeed a group of Rain Ninjas heading towards the front line."

Although Nawaki does not hold an official deputy position like Munetoki, as a student of Orochimaru, Tsunade's brother, and a descendant of the Senju clan, his status is naturally unusual. He is currently responsible for the compilation and classification of the intelligence collected by the reconnaissance team.

At this time, he brought the latest intelligence about the Rain Village: "Our reconnaissance team cannot get close to the main force of the Rain Ninja, so we cannot confirm the size and strength of the Rain Ninja this time, nor can we confirm whether Hanzo Salamander is among them."

"Due to the large-scale deployment of the Rain Ninja, our current reconnaissance range has been reduced to the previous Rain Ninja camp. The Rain Ninja should continue to stay in the previous camp. Should we continue the reconnaissance?"

Although the large group of Rain Ninjas did not run back as fast as we did, the ninjas' movement speed is naturally not slow. Plus, those who were dispatched this time should also be elite ninjas from the Rain Country, unlike Shinichi and I who went around in circles. So not long after we returned, the large group of Rain Ninjas had already arrived at the previous Rain Ninja camp.

"We have to conduct an investigation, but if there's someone suspected to be Hanzo of the Salamander in charge, I'm afraid the three of us will have to go there in person." Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said to Jiraiya and Tsunade.
