Chapter 130

In two days.

Somewhere in the Rain Country.

Yeruashi, wearing a rice hat and a dark cloak, slowly climbed the hill, on the way he stepped in a puddle, but there was no spray, only ripples.

When he reached the top of the hill, he looked ahead and didn't see a single person, only traces of a temporary camp were visible.

"And where did they go?"

Erase stepped forward and carefully examined the footprints.

How could a camp that had just been found by their scouts disappear so easily?!

After learning from Orochimaru the specific location of the Ame camp, Yeruashi immediately left Konoha's camp and set off, but as a result, it was empty.

When Erase glumly looking over the place, the distance suddenly appeared a figure, and quickly approached him.

This figure is dressed in an animal mask and a form that resembles an Anbu Konoha, but if you look closely, you can see significant differences.

"Shinobi Of The Root?"

Erase examined the approaching figure and asked.

Confirming the identity of Erase, Root shinobi bowed: "Lord Danzo left me here to observe the Ame camp, they hastily evacuated two days ago, after that I received orders to wait for you here to report this information."

"Evacuation?"

Erase frowned: "In what direction?"

The Root shinobi said: "My partner tried to follow them, but for more than a day there was no news from him, perhaps he has already been discovered.... according to the latest information received yesterday, most likely the Shinobi Ame are returning to Amegakure..."

In Amegakure?

Erase was absorbed in thought.

Hanzo shouldn't have known about his arrival in advance, this movement was most likely caused by caution and unwillingness to stay in one place for too long.

Amegakure is a small village, the total number of Shinobi is only about two thousand. Given that there must be some forces left in the village, they can mobilize a maximum of fifteen hundred Shinobi. No wonder that by placing such a force on the border of Rain Country, Hanzo was afraid of being suddenly attacked by Konoha's superior forces.

"Is there a specific route?"

Erase looked at the shinobi of the Root.

Shinobi replied in an emotionless voice, " Only until today..."

He handed Yeruashi a scroll, it was a map of the Rain Country, with the route indicated by Shinobi Ame.

Erase looked at him and nodded: "Everything is clear."

Shinobi Root bowed and used flicker, quickly leaving the area.

Looking after the departing shinobi, Yeruashi once again carefully looked at the map, assessing his position, and followed the route of the evacuation of Shinobi Ame.

...

Konoha's front camp.

Orochimaru looked at the map and removed one check mark: "This corresponds to the Hanzo style. It seems that after your negotiations failed, he decisively evacuated his forces, cutting off any possibility of our attack."

Danzo sat down on a chair and said calmly, " If I were him, I would do the same."

Orochimaru looked at the map: "According to my understanding of Hanzo, he decided to return to Amegakure and calmly wait for a good opportunity to make a move, the probability of Yeruashi's failure has increased dramatically."

Yeruashi can only try to intercept Hanzo on the way to Amegakura, otherwise, after returning to the village, it will be simply impossible to carry out the murder.

As a rule, detecting barriers are rarely installed in camps, but inside a village that has existed for many years, of course, there are a lot of different detecting barriers, such as in Konoha, and Ame is also no exception.

It is extremely difficult to get through detection barriers without being noticed.

Therefore, the possibility of a secret penetration into the Ame and an unexpected attack can be safely excluded.

"Yes."

Danzo nodded: "But Erase has not given up, deciding to hunt down the forces of the AMA."

Hanzo and Ame have a two-day head start, so the chance that Yeruashi will be able to catch up with them before they arrive at the village is extremely small. Hanzo is too careful, he didn't lead Ame's forces on a direct route, so it will be too easy to miss them, in addition, the shinobi Root sent to follow him was killed.

To be sure to face the Ame forces, you need to wait for them near the village, but in such a place there will be far from the best conditions for conducting a covert attack, Hanzo will not sleep at such a moment, allowing his subordinates to carry him to Amegakura.

"Young shinobi are always very persistent and persistent, ke-ke-ke."

But Orochimaru wasn't worried about the student at all.

Despite his young age and self-confidence, Yeruashi always acts quite judiciously and retains a certain degree of caution, if not given a good chance to kill Hanzo, he would rather return empty-handed than risk his life.

....

The Country Of Rain.

Yeruashi followed to the end of the known Shinobi Ame escape route, then looked at the map, choosing the most likely direction, and continued the pursuit, but after several hours of chasing, he still found no trace.

Looks like he's taken the wrong direction.

Yeruashi was too lazy to continue searching, so he didn't bother and decided to go straight to Ama, wouldn't it be easier to proceed to the final destination? That way he won't miss Hanzo...

As for detecting barriers and the difficulty of penetrating the Ame....he hadn't thought of something like this in the first place.

After all, Orochimaru and Danzo have repeatedly mentioned that Hanzo is an extremely cautious shinobi who cares about his safety, it is almost impossible to sneak up on him even during sleep.

Erase never considered the possibility of sneak attack.

Only open collision!!

There is no need to care about the number of Shinobi Ame or anything like that, during his clashes with the Third and Fourth Raikage, not fast enough shinobi could not interfere in their battle, the same will happen this time!

With the exception of Hanzo himself, all the other shinobi Ame are not worthy of Yeruashi's attention, so he can go straight to the main boss without paying attention to the usual mobs.

Erase not in a hurry in Amegakure.

If he tried, he could get there in half a day, and it would take Hanzo, leading Ame's forces along a complicated route, at least three or four days.

Arriving too early, Yeruashi would have to hide outside the village for a few days, much easier to spend a few days in some small town, waiting for Hanzo to return to Amegakure.

"This one is quite suitable."

Yeruashi took out a map and found the nearest town.
