After marching like this for several days, the entire army finally arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Rain.

The excitement has basically faded from the hearts of Konoha ninjas, leaving behind the calmness and calmness on the battlefield. They were just happy because the war that had lasted for several years was finally over, but their caution as ninjas would not change.

In terms of investigation, because of the unique advantages of Hyuga ninjas, while guarding the safety around the team, several were sent out by Hyuga Sky to explore the safety of the road ahead. At the same time, there were various Ninja Eagles patrolling in the sky.

It can be said that in front of such a team that combines reconnaissance and combat capabilities, only the Sunagakure ninja would choose to launch an ambush on such an occasion unless his brain was crazy.

Uchiha Tatsu, who discovered this, slowly relaxed and followed the team slowly while instructing Minato and Mikoto on various ninjutsu. After all, Orochimaru has completely handed over the first team to him, so he has the responsibility to improve the strength of his teammates.

As a little expert in committing suicide, Neng Shu is not willing to be lonely. He stood coolly on the top of the carriage and looked into the distance.

"In a little while, we will enter the Land of Fire." Shen Shu said excitedly. He could clearly see Orochimaru and Tsunade at the front of the team.

"Very good, Naoki. Keep this posture. You can fully attract Suna Ninja's attention by standing so tall and conspicuous." Uchiha Tatsu took out a kunai and gestured in the air.

Shengshu touched his neck and immediately jumped off the carriage.

Soon the long queue completely crossed the border of the Kingdom of Rain. The entire sky was like a faucet being turned on, and the rain suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"This is the environment where people should live." Uchiha Tatsugan squinted his eyes, feeling the hot sunshine. During the few months he spent in the Land of Rain, he felt like he was moldy and his whole body was wet.

But having said that, the weather in this ninja world is really weird. It rains all year round in the Country of Rain, but it never rains all year round in the Country of Wind. If we build a South-to-North Water Diversion Project here, it should be very profitable. Uchiha Chen's thoughts suddenly began to diverge again.

Soon the team crossed the slightly flat road and began to walk up the canyon along the long, artificially built stone path.

As a result, the already slow team was even slower due to the drag of the slope.

"Pay attention to the surrounding warning issues." Uchiha Tatsumi reminded the three people around him.

In such an uphill place, people's view upwards is blocked. In addition, there is a convoy of food supplies on their side, so it is very necessary to pay more attention to safety.

Not only Uchiha Tatsumi's team's alert level increased, but so did most of the other Konoha teams.

"What's going on?" Tsunade was far inferior to Orochimaru in terms of investigation. Now she saw Orochimaru suddenly stop. Years of teammate experience told her that Orochimaru had definitely discovered something.

"It's just a few traps made by little bugs." Orochimaru grinned and sneered. After completing the seal, he squatted down and pressed his palms to the ground. A dull sound immediately came from the underground rock path, and soon he was back. calm.

"Tell the teams behind that there is no problem. By the way, let the ninjas help the civilians in the transport team to make them move faster."

Orochimaru didn't guarantee that there wouldn't be a fight next. But the meaning expressed is already obvious, and now he has encountered a trap from the Sunagakure ninja. There is no guarantee that something will happen next.

"Uncle, let me help you." The ordinary people's team in front were better off. Uchiha Tatsu was responsible for guarding the material transportation team, which basically slowed down the entire team's progress.

"Thank you." The black-faced man was embarrassed and made room for Uchiha Tatsumi so that he could help. Because of the chakra bonus, ninjas are much more powerful than ordinary people.

As the transport truck was pushed up bit by bit, after a while, the team that was moving up at an overall speed had already crossed the long ramp. Although the next road was a little bumpy, it was relatively smooth.

But at the same time, something else seemed to appear at the end of the field of vision.

"There seem to be some people in the distance." Tsunade stared for a while, but after all, her field of vision was only that of an ordinary ninja, so she could not see clearly the small dots in the distance.

Less than two minutes later, the information from the Hyuga ninjas on the front line had been passed back. The result turned out not to be ninjas from the Kingdom of Wind, but a dilapidated village and a group of civilians begging.

"Well, I remember this village. It was there when we came here two years ago. I didn't expect it still exists now." Tsunade turned around and said.

"Well, then keep moving forward." Orochimaru ordered to the rear of the team.

About ten minutes later, the small dot at the end of the field of vision finally turned into a clearly visible figure.

Due to the impact of the war, the village looks very dilapidated, as if the entire village is filled with refugees.

Their clothes were ragged and their expressions were sad. The children's dry faces were covered in dust, and they looked very pitiful.

"Ninja-sama." An old man who looked like a village chief knelt down in front of Orochimaru, "Please give us some food."

Orochimaru stopped, but did not speak. He just looked at the people in front of him quietly. The entire team began to commotion, after all, these civilians looked really pitiful.

After a while, one ninja finally couldn't stand it anymore. He was going to ask the ninja behind him to go to the food transport team to get some food and distribute it to these ordinary people.

"I don't understand what kind of courage it takes for you to appear in front of me like this." Orochimaru's eyes were very sharp.

After saying this, he stabbed a kunai into the heart of the old man in front of him with lightning speed.

Then the next moment, ordinary people who were supposed to be dead turned into smoke and disappeared with a cry.

The next second, countless kunai shot at Konoha's troops as if they were dying.
