Chapter 107: Preparation
In the early morning, the air is fresh and the fog is thick, as if covering the earth with a cotton veil, and the mountains, trees, and rivers in the distance look faint.
Lelo lay on a small overgrown hill and squinted his eyes, focusing his gaze on the distance.
Two kilometers away from him, a looming complex of buildings emerged in the thick fog, roughly laid out like a village.
A small river runs through the middle of the village, winding towards the end of the view. Scattered figures occasionally paddled around the river, unsure of what they were busy with.
Time went back three days again, and Lei Luo and Orochimaru had already left the camp and headed for the northern part of the Land of Rain.
The two of them drove lightly, and in the process of hurrying, Lei Luo did not hesitate to use his perception ability, allowing them to bypass the various heavy troops of Yunin, and easily arrived at the rear of Yuyin Village.
At this time, on this inconspicuous hill, Lei Luo had been silently observing the destination for several hours with the help of the terrain, trying to grasp all the information and avoid accidents.
Orochimaru was also lying beside Lei Luo, and a thin layer of snake skin was shrouded in his body, this layer of snake skin had the effect of shielding perception, which was similar to the cloak that Lei Luo was wearing.
Being in the rear of Yuyin, there are enemies on all sides, and if Lei Luo and Orochimaru want to avoid suddenly falling into a heavy encirclement, caution is the minimum attitude.
After all, in terms of difficulty alone, this task has actually reached the S-level, and if you count the number of executioners and the follow-up risks, it is not too much to say that it is beyond the ordinary S-level task.
"How's it going, what's observed?" In this environment, Orochimaru's face couldn't help but be a little serious, and he asked in a low voice.
"There's something wrong with your intelligence, Orochimaru." Lei Luo retracted his gaze and glanced at his side lightly, "The number of rain ninjas is far from being as simple as hundreds, to be exact, two hundred and twenty-three. ”
"Among them, there are at least 20 or more upper ninjas, and more than 180 middle ninjas and lower ninjas. In addition to ninjas, there are also some ordinary people, who should be idle people. ”
"The most important thing is that there is a ninja chakra, far beyond the scope of ordinary ninjas, similar to the boiling rain I caught at that time."
Lei Luo's tone brought a trace of waves, he really didn't expect that a small secret base would lead to a shadow-level ninja.
"Boiling rain? It turns out that the boiling rain was caught by you. Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and some of the news he had heard by chance gradually connected in his mind, and an astonishing guess brewed in his mind.
But now is not the time to say this, Orochimaru suppressed the vibration in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "The task is so tricky...... What are you going to do? ”
Noticing that Orochimaru's face was a little unsightly, Lei Luo knew what the other party was worried about, and immediately opened his mouth to dispel Orochimaru's doubts: "Of course, I will lure out the head of Yunin and kill him first." ”
Lei Luo's eyes closed slightly, and while sensing the location of the shadow-level ninja, he opened his mouth to explain: "This guy's intelligence is unknown, his ability is unknown, and leaving him in the base is too much of a threat to the follow-up battle plan." ”
Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo suspiciously, a little puzzled by what the other party thought, "That guy is not a fool, how can he come out alone?" If it alarms the rain ninja, it's all over. ”
"So I've been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to get basic intelligence." Lei Luo sensed that a team of rain ninjas had just walked out of the village, and the number of people was about seven or eight, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
"Fortunately, now the opportunity has come."
Lei Luo patted Orochimaru's shoulder and pointed at the team of rain shinobi who were gathering at the entrance of the village, "See?" Those people are the information that comes to the door. ”
"Prepare, let's find a place to ambush, and make sure not to teach anyone to escape."
Although Orochimaru didn't know what Lei Luo's plan was, obtaining information was beneficial to the mission after all, so he nodded at the moment and decided to follow Lei Luo's arrangement.
The ambush site was chosen in a forest five kilometers away from the Rain Ninja base, this was to avoid too much movement and arouse the vigilance of the rain ninja in the base.
With Lei Luo's perceptual ability, coupled with the difference in strength between the two sides, and the result is that a total of eight rain ninjas did not make any resistance, and they were all captured by Lei Luo and Orochimaru.
Although there are two upper ninjas in the rain ninja team, the gap between ordinary upper ninjas and Lei Luo and Orochimaru is simply unreasonable.
In the quiet forest, Lei Luo squatted on the ground, pressed his palm on the top of the head of a rain ninja, and used his heart and body technique to search for memories.
Because the battle ended too quickly, there was no trace left around, and Orochimaru leaned against the trunk of a tree on the side, bored as Lei Luo "worked".
"If you're not mistaken, it should be the spiritual secret art of the Yamanaka clan...... 'For Lei Luo's hole cards and the breadth of ninjutsu he mastered, Orochimaru didn't bother to complain.
Anyway, he Orochimaru doesn't have much friendship with the Yamanaka clan, and the secret skills of the latter clan leak out, and he has nothing to do with Orochimaru.
After about half an hour, Lei Luo finished his work and glanced up at Orochimaru, "That guy's name is Sea Snake, and like Boiling Rain, he is Hanzo's extremely important subordinate. ”
"Sea serpents?" Orochimaru smiled, "I didn't expect it to be such a name, but it made me a little interested." ”
"I advise you not to be careless, the sea snake has very little information, and these little pawns don't know much."
Lei Luo glanced at the rain ninja lying on the ground all around, and changed the topic: "But thanks to them, I also know what I should know, and I can move on to the next step." ”
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you "judge" those who endure and endure them? Orochimaru asked a little strangely.
Lei Luo had just finished reading the memories of the two rain ninjas, and there were obviously many captives, in Orochimaru's opinion, not letting go of any opportunity to obtain information was what a qualified ninja should do.
"The task of these Yu Shinobi is to deliver a message to Yuyin Village, and the round trip only takes a short day." Lei Luo frowned and explained, as he drew his long knife and stabbed it straight into the neck of a rain shinobi at his feet.
While mending the knife, Lei Luo commanded, "We don't have much time, we need to do it as soon as possible." You prepare a dirt escape and cover up the corpses of these guys so that they don't cause trouble. ”
"It's really appealing." Although Orochimaru was complaining in his mouth, he still obediently performed ninjutsu.
It makes sense for Lei Luo to be in a hurry, as long as these rain ninjas don't return to the city in time, the sea snakes in the base will inevitably be vigilant.
At that time, no matter what Lei Luo's plan is, the difficulty of successfully luring the sea snake out will inevitably increase exponentially.
And Lei Luo really didn't want to be in the rain ninja base full of poisonous fog and traps, the same prepared shadow-level ninja, several large pepper fish, and nearly two hundred rain ninjas, the risk was too great.
As the roar of the earth and rocks continued to roar, all the killing was covered up, and the place quickly returned to normal, except for a few weeds that were rolled by the soil and disappeared, causing the ground to appear bare.
"By the way, you can take this." Seeing that the scene was cleaned up, Lei Luo took out a "trophy" that had just been captured from his arms and threw it to Orochimaru.
After catching it with his backhand, Orochimaru wondered, "Gas mask? What are you giving me this? ”
Orochimaru asked knowingly, obviously there was something in his words, Lei Luo knew that the other party didn't want to enter the rain ninja base to fight, so he opened his mouth and explained: "You may need to make a move later, so make some preparations in advance." ”
"This ......" Orochimaru's face looked a little embarrassed, and he said euphemistically, "This is not the same as what we said." ”
"Don't worry, I don't need you to accompany me in." Lei Luo glanced at Orochimaru, as if he was extremely disdainful of Orochimaru's timidity.
But after thinking about it, Lei Luo still decided to tell his plan truthfully, so as not to have doubts at the critical moment of Orochimaru and refuse to do his best.
