It was a stormy noon. Continuous lines of raindrops fell happily from the sky. Before they could hit the ground, the strong wind that could overturn young trees rolled them into one piece and shot towards the land in a chaotic manner.

The entire sky and earth presented a gray scene. Standing on this dark and narrow mountain road, Ye Shan could only hear the sound of rain and wind, and a sense of loneliness arose spontaneously.

"If it were a previous life, this kind of weather would be perfect for turning on the computer and meeting up with friends to watch the wind and clouds in the canyon. Afterwards, have a hot hot pot meal. It's really worth it..."

Such thoughts flashed through Ye Shan's mind, but they seemed to have taken root, making him scratch his head and lose his mind for a long time. Soon he cleared his mind and stared at the entrance of the mountain road with all his concentration. It was extremely interesting.

Patiently waiting for the arrival of guests.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe two hours, maybe five hours. In short, the sky was always gray, making it impossible to see the passage of time. Just when Ye Shan couldn’t bear it any longer, there was a burst of "pa, pa, pa"

The sound of footsteps was keenly captured by him.

"Coming!"

Ye Shan's spirit perked up, but he became more and more cautious. His aura tightened to the extreme, and his heartbeat also dropped to the lowest point. He was really lying inconspicuously on the roadside like a stone that had been beaten by wind and rain.

Not long after, several fog ninjas walked slowly from the entrance of the mountain road. Due to the heavy rain and dim light, Hayama could not determine the specific number of people on the other side, but judging from the slightly messy footsteps, there were about six people.

The number of people is wrong! Hayama quickly calculated in his mind. He has a good memory. When he carried out the assassination mission in the capital of the Kingdom of Water, Yagura and his party were clearly eight people, but the footsteps could only be heard from six people at most.

"A secret whistle..."

Hayama is no stranger to the practice of setting up hidden sentries when the team is moving forward. The so-called hidden sentry refers to leaving a number of ninjas of varying numbers to follow the team about three kilometers behind. Once the team in front is attacked, the hidden sentry will be sent within a very short time.

He rushed to the battlefield within a certain period of time and launched a fatal blow to the attacker from the darkness.

There is a reason why it is three kilometers away instead of further or closer. In fact, every rule in the ninja world is very consistent with common sense. After all, it is all summed up by ninjas in blood and tears.

If the hidden sentry is too far away, the time to rush to the battlefield will be later, which is likely to cause the destruction of one's own side, resulting in fearless fueling tactics; if the hidden sentry is too close, it will be easily captured by the opponent's sensing ninja, and the meaning of deploying the hidden sentry will be lost.

Gradually, the footsteps of the mist ninja became clearer in the pouring rain, until Hayama's ears were filled with the sounds of footsteps and no sound of rain.

Six Kiri ninjas walked slowly on the narrow mountain road. The first two were Yagura and a jounin named Ao, and the remaining four followed closely behind them in a "one-two-one" formation.

As expected of Kirigakure's elite, even when they arrive at their own door, they are still in order without any flaws.

When Yagura walked to the edge of the stone transformed by Hayama, he suddenly stopped. Hayama's heart tightened, but he kept his breathing and heartbeat to a minimum, and even his breathing temporarily stopped.

The short Yagura frowned and his baby face was covered with scars. He raised his head and looked around and said: "Where is the garrison squadron in the mountainous area? What does the hidden dragon eat? I haven't come up to ask for so long.

Inquiry?!"

Qing heard the words and glanced around, but the rain was too heavy and the sky was too dark. He couldn't see anything except the chaotic raindrops. He asked in a low voice: "Sir, would you like to use your white eyes to conduct some reconnaissance?"

Yagura waved his hand to indicate no, and said in a deep voice: "The Third Generation is ignorant and incompetent externally, but he has a good way of excluding dissidents internally. The ninjas stationed now are all his, so it is best not to use your white eyes to probe."

After a pause, Yagura sighed: "The village has lost a large number of elites this time. The famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen have ceased to exist in name only. I don't know what kind of waves will be caused."

"Sora! Are you sure that Baiyun Yeshan was still a moderately powerful Jonin a year ago and not a Kage-level powerhouse?"

Yagura raised his voice to ensure that Minazuki Sora, who was standing not far behind him, could hear him. There was no way the rain was too heavy.

A hint of bitterness flashed across the face of Minazuki Sora, who had fought against Hayama before. This was already the fourth time Lord Yagura asked this question.

"Absolutely true!"

Yagura didn't expect to get inconsistent answers. In fact, he was just deceiving himself.

"There is not one such ninja village, but there are a lot of them in Konoha! The three ninjas of Konoha are like this, the dead Hatake Sakumo is like this, and even the unknown Bai Yunhazan is not like this. Is Konoha really the cradle of geniuses?

What?"

Yagura, who was in a melancholy mood, felt a little desolate, just like the heavy rain.

"Let's go back to the village. The top priority is to seal the Three-Tails into my body. As long as I become the Three-Tails Jinchuuriki, I will definitely win the position of the Fourth Mizukage!"

Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this, and they naturally supported Yagura to become the new Mizukage. Except for Ao, who was not a ninja from the family, the other four were all from the famous Ninja Sect. As long as Yagura became one of the three Jinchūriki,

With the full support of the family behind them, a third-generation Mizukage with a notorious reputation had nothing to worry about and had no choice but to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.

Once Yagura becomes the Fourth Mizukage, they will undoubtedly be reused, and it is not impossible for them to become respected elders in the future. They all have a bright future!

The group of people walked towards the village in excitement, completely unaware of the abnormality of a stone on the roadside. It may be that Yagura and the others were unlucky, or they trusted the Byakugan too much. Except for Ao's reconnaissance ability, the entire team

There is no conventional perception ninja. If a perception ninja with keen senses is present, he will definitely be able to detect a little more chakra fluctuations beside him.

But this is also one of the reasons why Hayama dares to take risks! Byakugan's reconnaissance ability is unparalleled in the ninja world, but the unactivated Byakugan is no different from ordinary people's naked eyes on weekdays, except for its pure white pupils.

color.

Ye Shan tried his best to endure it, watching the six people leave from the corner of his eye.

One step, two steps, three steps... When the mist ninja took about ten steps, the long-planned attack came!

There was only an imperceptible "bang" sound, but it was Hayama releasing the transformation technique. Even in the heavy rain, the sound was still captured by the Kiri Ninja.

Yagura suddenly twisted his steps and turned around. While his body was still turning, a sharp shout echoed through the mountain road: "Enemy attack!!"

His eyes penetrated the thick rain curtain and accurately captured Ye Shan's figure. He was shocked in his heart, but his body movements kept moving, and he almost shouted loudly. Several kunai were thrown out by him, and then he

I even charged up and sprinted, sticking to the ground like a cannonball and shooting at the attacker.

Yagura's idea is very simple and correct. In this dangerous terrain, there is and only earth escape ninjutsu that can destroy the lives of their group in an instant, so he has one and only one choice - after the caster completes

Interrupt him before forming the seal!

Ye Shan's eyes were very calm, so calm that he seemed to be doing something that would be repeated every day. He could naturally think of things that the enemy could think of, but wanting to interrupt and being able to interrupt were two different things.

Just when Yagura flew halfway, in his disbelieving eyes, several kunai first pierced "Hayama"'s body. The expected blood did not appear, but there were only two "bang bang" sounds and two

A cloud of white smoke.

The first "bang" and the first puff of smoke were emitted when the shadow clone was destroyed, but the second "bang" and the second puff of smoke were emitted when Hayama's real body was released from transformation!!!

Deception is the essence of ninja combat, and Hayama has been a master of deception since he was a genin!

To put it simply, Hayama predicted the mist ninja's prediction of emergencies, so he will be the winner of this attack battle!

"Earth Escape·Rock Sussex Collapse!"

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The solid mountain made a rumbling sound under the stimulation of chakra, and the mountain road became extremely muddy under the stimulation of chakra. However, the ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation in the Kingdom of Earth was carried forward in the Kingdom of Water, like the God of Death.

Waving the sickle in his hand, it exudes a chilling feeling.

At this moment, the defensive fortifications that Kirigakure Village was proud of turned into life-harvesting machines.
Chapter completed!
