The Sunagakure camp was in complete chaos, and this was the perfect time to take advantage of the situation.
"Get ready, Seisuke," Shinnosuke said.
"Okay!"
The two of them rushed into the chaotic camp like phantoms.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, flames burst out. Seisuke transformed into a ball of fire and appeared behind one of the ninjas. The flames in his hand were compressed into a circular saw with sharp serrations, spinning rapidly. He grabbed it and forcefully swung it down towards the ninja's head.
"Ah!"
With a scream, the ninja's head was separated from his body.
The high - temperature flames charred the wound, and his life ended before blood could even splash out.
"Enemy attack!"
The Sunagakure ninjas who had reacted quickly organized a counter - attack. Poison - tipped weapons such as kunai, shuriken, and senbon were shot towards Seisuke. He didn't even attempt to dodge, allowing the blades to pierce through his body.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest and then pulled them apart vertically. A blade of fire shot out instantly.
Vertical Guillotine!
He easily sliced through one of the ninjas. Without pausing, he shouted, "Captain!"
Shinnosuke understood his meaning and immediately used Earth Release to create a stone pillar under Seisuke's feet, lifting him up.
Seisuke spun three - and - a - half times in the air and then kicked out with the speed of his descent. The flames on his feet were particularly noticeable, like sunlight piercing through the night, with dawn quietly breaking the skyline!
"Leo Kick!"
Boom!
It was like a cannonball, crashing into a group of three ninjas.
"Summoning Technique!"
A huge python that could be encircled by more than a dozen adults appeared in the camp. Seisuke stood on the snake's head and said, "Eat them."
Upon hearing that there was food, the big snake's eyes lit up, and a strange light flickered in its cold snake pupils.
Eat!
Eat!
Eat!
It ignored the shuriken and kunai flying towards it, using its hard scales to block the attacks. It opened its mouth and swallowed several Sunagakure ninjas. Its huge body rolled on the ground, killing several more ninjas.
Shinnosuke wasn't idle either. He held off several jonin - level puppet masters. Seeing that Seisuke was speeding up the slaughter, he decided not to hold back either.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang!
A one - meter - tall white - haired monkey wearing clothes and a Konoha forehead protector appeared beside him. "Shinnosuke, what do you need me for?"
"Of course, it's for battle, Enri. Transform into the Adamantine Staff!"
The Enma clan had a summoning contract with the Sarutobi clan for generations. As the son of the Third Hokage, Shinnosuke naturally had it. Enri stood on a tree, assuming a strange pose. "Understood! Let's go! Battle!"
Bang!
A black iron rod with golden ends landed in Shinnosuke's hands. As Shinnosuke swung it, the bodies of those puppets were quickly broken. In front of the sturdy Adamantine Staff, these wooden puppets were no match.
"Ah! Don't kill me!"
"No! I was going to get married after this battle! No!"
"Miss Yoko, I won't be able to confess to you!"
"Flame Vortex!"
Seisuke whipped up a fire tornado that raged through the camp. The flames dyed half of the sky red. Like a demon, he stood on the head of the giant snake, coldly taking the lives of others.
This was the cruelty of war!
The flames devoured everything. The Sunagakure camp with more than fifty people was completely wiped out under the attacks of Shinnosuke and Seisuke. Even those who managed to escape died from the venom of the snakes.
Looking at the charred ground, Shinnosuke patted Seisuke on the shoulder. "Let's go. We should find a place to rest. If you feel bad, you can talk to me."
"It's okay. This is war. People are bound to die," Seisuke said, shaking his head and declining Shinnosuke's kindness. Since he had joined this war, there was no turning back. All he could do now was complete the mission and protect himself.
"I see. Let's go. It's time for us to rest."
After being busy for most of the night, it was indeed time to rest. The assassination team wasn't without rest breaks. Seisuke suddenly asked, "Captain Shinnosuke, did you get the information?"
"Don't worry. While you were dealing with those Sunagakure ninjas, I finished gathering the intelligence." Shinnosuke was a steady person. Unlike Seisuke, who was in a killing frenzy at that time, he knew what to do.
The information in the hands of those jonin was enough for their activities in the next few days. The assassination would soon be discovered, and then the Sunagakure ninjas would probably adjust their strategies. The information in their hands would become worthless.
The two found a hidden place to rest. Shinnosuke gave the written intelligence to Seisuke and asked him to send it to Orochimaru using a summoning beast. Besides the intelligence, there was also a mission summary, which could be considered as accumulating battle achievements for Seisuke and himself.
Dawn quietly broke the skyline. Their rest time wasn't long because the intelligence obtained last night indicated that the intelligence department of Sunagakure was coming to collect the bodies of Konoha ninjas from that camp for research.
So this time, Seisuke and the others were going to ambush the intelligence department of Sunagakure.
As an intelligence department, the information they knew was extremely valuable. Therefore, they had to secure this opportunity.
"Captain, isn't this too risky?"
An intelligence department that could move around during the war was definitely not to be underestimated. There must be jonin, and probably quite a few of them.
Shinnosuke said, "I know it's dangerous, but we can't miss this opportunity. We have to take a risk."
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Their goal was clear: capture a Sunagakure ninja and then run away.
The information one person knew might be limited, but if it was someone from the intelligence department, it would be different. They held a large amount of information, including that of Konoha and Sunagakure. Whichever side it was, it had its uses, especially in the hands of Orochimaru.
The two quickly approached the target. According to the information from that jonin, the Sunagakure intelligence agents would take this route. They stopped at a suitable ambush location and started setting up traps. After finishing, they hid themselves.
After waiting for about half an hour, a ninja team appeared. They were wearing the earth - yellow clothes of Sunagakure, with cloth wrapped around their heads and face masks covering their faces. The four of them formed a formation and were on the move.
Two of them had two scrolls tied to their backs. No one knew what was inside.
At this time, one of the protected ninjas looked up and threw two kunai, one towards the place where Seisuke was hiding and the other towards Shinnosuke's hiding place.
Wind Release chakra was attached to them, and they instantly pierced through the trees.
Shinnosuke dodged, while Seisuke... a hole was punched through his head.
It wasn't that he deliberately didn't dodge; he just didn't react in time!
A master!
With that person's attack, the four - man team stopped and became fully alert. "Konoha ninjas, come out. I've already detected you!"
