Nobumasa didn't take Yukimura's tough words to heart.

After the injuries on his hands healed, how strong is Orochimaru, who is able to use ninjutsu?

Without Mizuki's real body, it would be difficult for several physical clones to kill him. How could such a powerful person be compared with the fledgling Yukimura?

During his heyday, Orochimaru was able to make Hatake Kakashi so fearful that he dared not act rashly just by relying on his aura and illusions when Konoha was planning to collapse. The combined efforts of Tenzo and Yukimura were only able to fight off a few moves with Orochimaru.

If Orochimaru hadn't let them off, the two would have suffered more than just minor injuries and exhaustion.

Although Tenzang's Wood Release is powerful, it also consumes a lot of chakra. After it is almost consumed by the Five Seals, it can no longer do much.

The two people who were not in good shape met Orochimaru who had recovered his strength, and they could only be toyed with. Even if they only used some basic ninjutsu such as water escape and earth escape, it was enough to play with Tenzo and Yukimura in the palm of his hand.

When the two could no longer hold on, Xinzhen appeared and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take the two away.

"If you had come earlier, maybe we could have won!"

Tian Zang said a little discouraged after taking a few breaths.

“That’s easy to say!”

Xinzhen replied unhappily.

"You are too arrogant to challenge a ninja village with just a few people. I have spent a lot of effort to break through the opponent's barrier defense. It is good enough to rescue you. Fortunately, our identity as Konoha ninja should not be exposed."

"Konoha ninja? There shouldn't be any other ninjas who can use Wood Release except Konoha... Akatsuki does have such people, but they don't look like this. They also have Sharingan..."

After saying that, Tenzo looked in Yukimura's direction, his worry evident in his eyes.

"Are you scared now? What were you doing before..."

Xinzhen shook his head.

"Don't worry. Without evidence, the Rain Village won't hold on to this matter. Anyway, we are just testing it out. Neither side will suffer any loss. Just pretend that this incident never happened."

When it comes to handling political events, Xinzhen is more experienced and can judge the situation more accurately.

"Then how should we write our mission report?"

"Leave it to me. You guys take a rest first. When we get back to the village, we'll be ready to pack our bags and go to the battlefield!"

The last mission before the Ninja World War is over. Let's put aside the trivial details and it's time to fight to the death.

…

For Nobumasa, writing a report and compiling a true and false intelligence file on the jonin of Amegakure was not a difficult task. He just had to add a few more sentences based on the experiences of Tenzo and Yukimura. Anyway, the Konoha high-level officials had no way to verify it.

When this fabricated intelligence was handed over to Tsunade, it did not cause any waves. As Nobumasa had expected, the Rain Village did not care too much about the "unidentified" invaders.

Not long after, the ninja army sent by the Rain Village appeared in the Land of Fire, and the Konoha ninjas looked at the relatively neat team with somewhat confused eyes.

"Except for a few, most of them are wearing full body rain gear and mask respirators. You can't even see their faces. Could these people be civilians wearing ninja combat uniforms in disguise?"

It's no wonder that everyone has doubts. Looking around, everyone sees the same outfit. In all the years of the ninja world, it is probably only once that the recognition of ninja army members is so low.

Not only that, the leading jonin in the team, Shigure, also covered most of his face with a mask, leaving only his long straight hair draped over his shoulders.

The most conspicuous thing is not these, but the person in the middle of the team, who is obviously a head shorter than most of his companions, about the same height, all wrapped up, and the thick goggles on the mask even covering his eyes.

Their uniform behavior is obviously different from that of their other compatriots.

"What's up with those people?"

Not to mention twins or multiple births, it is not easy to even find so many ninjas with exactly the same body shape but no blood relationship.

No one answered.

Ninjas who are not well-informed may really be completely unaware of this, but those high-ranking people who know some of the dark side of the ninja world can't help but think of similar scenes.

"A clone army cultivated with biotechnology. I didn't expect that the Rain Village actually had such technology. No wonder they were confident in sending so many Chunins to participate in the Ninja World War."

However, now is not the time to investigate the details of the Rain Village or to promote any humanitarian spirit. Everything will have to wait until after the Ninja World War.

The ninja world has strategic weapons such as the nine tailed beasts. Other small countries have no way to covet them and can only find other ways.

Biotechnology, cloning, etc. became their breakthroughs.

Just like Shuimu's previous life, big countries have nuclear weapons, and small countries do not have the technical reserves to research such high technology, so they can only research biological and chemical weapons secretly. This low-cost, terrifyingly lethal strategic weapon is their last reliance, but this kind of private weapon of mass destruction will definitely be sanctioned by big countries.

Naturally, there are such unspoken rules in the ninja world. A large ninja village that possesses the power of the tailed beasts cannot accept that some weaker ninja villages and organizations possess too dangerous killing capabilities.

Just like the Uzumaki family, their advanced sealing technique was too dangerous and they were wiped out in one fell swoop by the fearful forces.

The Rain Village would rather expose such a secret and join the Ninja Alliance. It seems that they are sure that no one will care about these things at this time.

As the reception envoy, Hatake Kakashi met Shigure who was walking over.

"Your Highness is indeed punctual. Without further ado, shall we head directly to the headquarters of the Shinobi Alliance?"

"Please, Jonin Hatake Kakashi, lead the way."

Shigure's soothing and somewhat hoarse voice sounded a bit uncomfortable. As the introducer of the Rain Village to the Allied Ninja World, Konoha Village naturally had more trouble than other villages. Once the last chess piece was in place, it would be almost time to deploy the army and formally attack the base of the "Akatsuki" organization.

In the original work, the Shinobi Alliance's attacks on the White Zetsu Army and the Impure World Reincarnation Army have always been in a passive position, but now, at least in the Frost Country's underground base, the exact location has been determined by the Shinobi Alliance.

"Hokage-sama has already gone to the joint forces headquarters. I will lead the ninjas of your village to the fifth unit to take over."

"Really? It's a pity that I can't meet the legendary Tsunade-sama!"

"We'll see each other sooner or later."

Although he felt that there was something wrong with the guy next to him who exuded a dark aura, Hatake Kakashi, who could not find the problem, put aside his doubts. There shouldn't be any big problems at this time.
