In a somewhat narrow cave, four ninjas wearing animal masks and dressed as Konoha Anbu were crowded together in a cramped manner. The leader was wearing the long beak mask. He was the one who passed the rope tree to Amegakure. The news prompted Amegakure to start hunting down the four Anbu who planned to kill Naoki.

When the four of them got together again, their mood was even lower than last time. Even the bird mask ninja who was the most optimistic last time had no fighting spirit at this time, and his whole person exuded an aura of decadence.

"That guy Orochimaru's bold plan was a complete success. Except for the Jonin who were still chasing Tsunade, half of the other Sunagakure ninjas were killed, and the rest either fled back to the Kingdom of Wind, or fled to In the country of Kawawa, Sunagakure has been completely defeated."

Although he was wearing the clothes of Konoha Anbu, when talking about this event that could be considered a major victory, there was no joy in the tone of the bird mask ninja. It seemed that Konoha's defeat was what he wanted to see. generally.

"The cowards of Amegakure have been scared out of their wits by Orochimaru, and their pursuit of the target has completely stopped."

The monkey mask ninja who had previously conveyed news about the rope tree to Amegakure also spoke out about Amegakure's latest developments with disdain and helplessness.

"According to the information sent by Amegakure's spies, it seems that the senior leaders of Amegakure not only want to stop with Konoha, but also want to sign an alliance."

"Covenant? Hanzo, the always proud and arrogant guy, actually bowed his head?"

When the dog mask and cat mask ninjas heard the news, they couldn't help but scream in surprise.

"Humph, Sunagakure is out, and Iwagakure's movements are unknown. He doesn't want Amegakure to use up his last bit of vitality. In addition to forming an alliance with us in order to end the war as soon as possible, and at the same time using the power of the fox to threaten Iwagakure, and relying on Konoha to deter Iwagakure, there are other things. Is there any way to go?"

The monkey mask ninja couldn't help but snort, disgusted that the two of them were so rare and strange, and they couldn't even see through this.

"But because of this, Project Woodpecker is really coming to an end."

But immediately, Monkey Mask's tone changed and he continued speaking very unwillingly.

Dog Mask and Cat Mask, who were still a little angry and wanted to quarrel with him, suddenly lost interest in bickering, and their whole bodies exuded a dejected atmosphere.

"Well, the failure of this mission was entirely caused by force majeure. Your Excellency should not blame us too much."

Looking at the three disappointed companions, Bird Mask, who was still very disappointed, had no choice but to stand up and comfort them.

"Moreover, so far, there is still no definite news about the target, and no one can guarantee whether he is still alive."

Seeing that the three of them still looked like stinky salted fish, he had no choice but to speak again.

"So, the wood-bird plan may not be a complete failure."

However, he also knew that this was just boring self-comfort. Without the threat of Sunagakure and Amegakure, and even they knew nothing about the location of the rope tree, who else in the entire Rain Country could threaten the rope tree? The life of the tree?

"Shall we return to the village now to report to the Lord?"

After the silence lasted for who knows how long, Cat Mask finally couldn't help but asked with a slightly fearful tone.

"The target's life or death is unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown,"

The leader, Bird Mask, pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

"It's better to wait until everything has settled before reporting to the adults."

Obviously, even though he said that Danzo would not blame them, he was still afraid that if he returned to Konoha like this, he would be suppressed to the point where he would never be able to stand up again.

The other three people, who also lacked the courage to return to the village now, acquiesced to his idea.

"Then what shall we do next?"

"Konoha Camp! Regardless of whether the target is still alive or not, that should be the first place to get the news."

. . .

"strangeness."

Finally, after reading the small scroll in his hand that recorded the secrets of practicing Wind Escape Chakra, and stretching comfortably, Bogu couldn't help but wrinkled as he looked at the rain that kept falling and no one around, so there was no atmosphere problem at all. He frowned, then closed his eyes, stretched out his right hand, and felt the wind that was everywhere.

"Strange? Where is it strange?"

Next to him, Roe Tree, who was also seizing this rare moment of peace to refine chakra and prepare for battle at any time, looked at Bo Gu and asked curiously.

"Even if we kill all four Amegakure ninjas and don't let them pass on the news, after a team has been missing for most of the day, Amegakure should finally have some reaction."

Unable to detect the half-figure figure in the wind, he opened his eyes, his eyes full of solemnity.

"Could it be that they have been able to determine that we are here and are outflanking us from behind, intending to completely surround us?"

He didn't know that everyone in Amegakure had been frightened by Orochimaru, and he had the worst thoughts in his mind.

"Or..."

When Qi Ren's face flashed before his eyes, he couldn't help but knit his brows together.

"I can't stay here any longer."

He did not dare to take risks. Although he did not express the worries in his heart, he immediately put the scroll close to his body, looked at the rope tree, and said in a deep voice.

"We have to go north again immediately."

"Still north?"

This time, it was Naoshu's turn to frown.

"Going further north, we will reach the border of Earth Kingdom."

"Right now, only the north is the safest. Neither Sunagakure nor Amegakure would have thought that we would give up approaching Konoha Camp and the Land of Fire, and instead take the road north to approach the Land of Earth."

"Ok."

Although she was a little reluctant, Naoshu finally nodded.

Along the way, if it hadn't been for the wave trough, he would have been blown to pieces as soon as he encountered the detonating talisman trap.

Therefore, he is still willing to believe in Bo Gu's judgment.

"Wait a minute, someone is coming!"

But just when the rope tree was about to jump off the tree and continue heading north according to Bo Gu's idea, Bo Gu suddenly smelled a trace of blood and urgency in the wind, but suddenly stopped him and told him with a solemn expression. bad news.

. . .

"Broken, hold on, we'll be there soon!"

On the muddy road in the Land of Rain, Tsunade was running at full speed with Kato Danan on her back. Her face was anxious, her hair was messy and looked a little dry, and her originally fair and delicate skin now looked dry and yellow, with some... It was stained with blood that had dried and turned black.

On her back, Kato's broken condition looked more serious than hers. The left forearm that had been broken before was now swollen, and her face was gray. After her long white hair was soaked by the rain, it looked like His back was covered like a piece of white cloth, and he looked like he was already dying.

To make matters worse, Palasha, with blood-red eyes, was hanging tightly behind the two of them, and from time to time he would let out an ugly and scary laugh like a night owl.

It was like a demon that wanted to eat the two of them alive.
