"The Cangnan supply station has been destroyed again?!"
"Yes, Lord Yagura. According to the information from our sentries, the entire Cangnan supply station has been completely destroyed, as if it had been wiped off the map."
Inside the mist-shrouded camp.
The group, who had been frowning and looking worried because of the difficulties at the front, looked at the intelligence squad leader in front of them with a blank expression.
"It was erased?"
A Jonin from the Kaguya clan was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling: "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'as if someone wiped you off the map'?"
"The Cangnan Supply Station was rebuilt and reinforced by Konoha, with its defenses doubled, and Danzo's Root organization is active nearby. How could it possibly be wiped out? What are you even talking about?!"
The intelligence squad leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement.
"Our sentries haven't been able to fully confirm the specific methods of sabotage or the identities of the attackers. Konoha is currently maintaining a tight information blockade, but judging from their chaotic mobilization and the emergency contraction of their defenses, the information should be true."
"According to the intelligence from the sentries, the attack occurred at noon. The attackers and the methods of attack are unknown, but the attack lasted for a very short time, possibly only a few seconds."
"Then—the entire supply depot area was completely destroyed; all buildings, fortifications, and all personnel were crushed!"
What is all this about?
I recognize every single word you say, but I can't understand it when you put them together.
Everyone present stared in disbelief at the intelligence squad leader, their faces etched with the absurdity of "Are you fucking kidding me?"
What do you mean by destroying and crushing the entire Cangnan supply station in seconds? Are you dreaming? How could such a thing possibly happen?
However, after the intelligence team leader confirmed it repeatedly, the entire command post was thrown into chaos, as if ice water had been poured into boiling oil.
"Erasing it from the map? What kind of ninjutsu could do that?"
"Jiraiya and Danzo must be going crazy over Konoha's reaction right now!"
"Could it be that Iwagakure has intervened? Perhaps Onoki's Dust Release technique—"
"Impossible! Dust Release is about disintegration, not pure flattening! Besides, Iwagakure is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Konoha in the Land of Grass; how could they possibly have the energy to pull off such a large-scale operation on the eastern front?"
"Who else could it be? It couldn't possibly be one of our own people from Kirigakure. If we had that kind of ability, we would have swept through the area long ago!"
However, in the current situation, the destruction of Konoha's core supply station is nothing short of a godsend for Kirigakure at this stage, like rain after a long drought.
Heaven has opened its eyes and sent such a great gift to Kirigakure!
Inside the command center, there was a great deal of discussion, with everyone's faces showing a mixture of disbelief, excitement, and confusion.
But Yagura, sitting in the main seat, had a rather subtle expression.
There is no cause and effect without a reason in the world, especially since the incident occurred at a place like the Cangnan supply station.
According to the intelligence team's description, this power has completely exceeded the scope of conventional ninjutsu or even bloodline limits, reaching the level of bloodline elimination wielded by the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.
Can Gouju Cheng master that level of power?
But if it's not Cheng, then who could it be?
It can't be that A-Cheng sent the Mist Blade Squad back first, and then he went to Iwagakure by himself to copy Onoki's Dust Release!
On the Mist Blade team's side, Qing and the others exchanged glances, all seeing similar suspicion in each other's eyes.
They are the people who know best what makes their captain so amazing.
Copying bloodlines, mysterious space-time ninjutsu—they always manage to come up with some strange but incredibly effective things.
If anyone could master some unknown, terrifying power in a short period of time, then the captain would definitely be the prime suspect.
"Hey, Senior Qing."
Hozuki Mangetsu leaned close to Ao's ear and whispered, "Do you think it could be the captain—"
Qing shook her head slightly, signaling him to be quiet, but the seriousness in her eyes said it all.
"It must be the captain! Who else could cause such a commotion!" Ringo Ameyuri exclaimed excitedly, lowering her voice. "It's just that he didn't take us with him this time. How annoying! He's doing all the cool stuff by himself!"
Kisame Hoshigaki didn't say anything, but a look of deep agreement appeared on the shark's face.
Clearly, he also felt that the Cangnan matter was inextricably linked to Gouju Cheng.
"Report!"
While everyone in the command center was discussing and Yagura and the Mist Blade squad were making their own guesses.
A messenger ninja rushed in, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Lord Yagura, Konoha's offensive has completely ceased. Their frontline troops are undergoing a massive retreat, and their reconnaissance and patrol activities in the rear have also drastically decreased!"
"What?!"
"Really?"
"It's only been a short time, why such a strong reaction?"
The crowd erupted in uproar once again.
If the news of the destruction of the Cangnan supply station still carries uncertainty and speculation, then the real contraction of the Konoha front is the most powerful proof!
The destruction of the Cangnan supply station will likely have a greater impact on Konoha than they anticipated!
"Great! That's wonderful!"
A Kirigakure Jonin slammed his fist on the table excitedly: "Whoever did it, this is fantastic news! With Konoha in chaos, our opportunity has arrived!"
"That's right! Strike while the iron is hot!"
"Lord Yagura, could we organize a counterattack?"
The atmosphere in the command center instantly shifted from shock and doubt to excitement and fighting spirit.
Yagura took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his mind.
Regardless of whether the incident in Cangnan is related to Cheng, it is a fact that Konoha has revealed a weakness, and the opportunity to fight will be fleeting.
"Pass on the order."
Yagura stood up, his voice a few decibels louder, and issued a series of orders in an orderly manner, and the war machine of Kirigakure started running at high speed again.
After the order was given, everyone accepted it and left.
Only Yagura and the five members of the Mist Blade squad remained in the command post for the time being.
Yagura looked at the five people, his gaze lingering particularly on Qing's face.
"Qing, your team stays behind."
"Yes, Lord Yagura."
After everyone else left, Yagura walked to the sand table, his back to the five people, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Has Acheng passed on any information or intelligence to you?"
Ao's heart skipped a beat; she knew that Yagura had indeed become suspicious.
He chose his words carefully.
"The captain didn't give us any extra instructions, he just told us to follow your orders, Lord Yagura, and he'll be here soon."
"Is that so?"
Yagura turned around and looked at Ao: "Do you think this has anything to do with him?"
This question is very straightforward.
The five members of the Mist Blade Squad fell silent for a moment.
Finally, it was Minazuki Yuki who spoke softly: "The captain's actions are always unpredictable. But if we're talking about probability—I think there's at least a 50% chance."
"Fifty percent?"
Yagura raised an eyebrow.
"Because besides the captain, I can't think of anyone else who could deliver such a heavy blow to Konoha at this time and in this way." Minazuki Yuki's voice remained cold, but her tone was firm: "Moreover, the captain left the team alone earlier, saying he was going to confirm something important."
Perhaps, this is related.
Hozuki Mangetsu couldn't help but interject, "It's definitely the Captain! Yagura-sama, think about it, the Captain can even copy Sharingan eyes, what can't he do? Maybe he's copied something even more powerful!"
Ringo Ameyuri nodded vigorously: "That's right! Captain is the best!"
Kisame Hoshigaki also said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether it was the captain's doing or not, the chaos in Konoha right now is real. We should seize this opportunity and take the initiative back into our hands!"
After listening to everyone's words, Yagura remained silent for a long time.
He already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Makoto Karuta's God Hand is already mysterious and unpredictable. He can copy the Sharingan and the Shikotsumyaku. So it doesn't seem entirely impossible for him to copy or trigger other even more terrifying powers.
But can such destructive power really be controlled by one person?
Moreover, if he truly did it, where is he now? Why isn't he back at command post? What price will he have to pay next time he uses that power?
Countless questions swirled in Yagura's mind.
But he knew that now was not the time to delve into it.
The most urgent task is to seize the opportunity and expand the gains!
"You all go and prepare." Yagura finally waved his hand. "You continue to focus on creating chaos and gathering intelligence. Safety first. If—if you have any information about A-Cheng, give it to me immediately."
"yes!"
The five members of the Mist Blade Squad bowed and withdrew.
Yagura stood alone in the command post, gazing at the jagged battle lines on the sand table, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon.
An opportunity has fallen from the sky, and he must seize it no matter what!
Meanwhile, in a hidden cave somewhere in the Land of Fire.
Gouju Cheng sat cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled a long breath.
"As expected, you can't just use your ultimate move carelessly—"
He stretched his slightly sore muscles and bones, took out a few specially made soldier pills from his ninja tool bag and swallowed them, then drank some water.
The consumption of the Super Shinra Tensei was greater than he had expected. It not only instantly drained most of the chakra stored in his own body and the Yin Seal, but also put a considerable burden on his body.
However, the results were fantastic!
Recalling the horrified expressions of the Konoha ninjas and the spectacular sight of the entire supply depot being instantly wiped out, Makoto Karatachi couldn't help but smile.
With the power of the Rinnegan, victory was indeed inevitable!
Even with only a ten-minute trial card, the terrifying power it unleashes is still beyond the resistance of ordinary people.
"Konoha must be in complete chaos right now."
He unfolded the map, his gaze moving over several marked points.
With the Cangnan supply depot destroyed, a huge gap will inevitably appear in the logistics system of Konoha's eastern front, and the supply and morale of the front-line troops will be severely affected.
Danzo and Jiraiya must be in a real bind right now, having to track down the attackers while also stabilizing the front lines and adjusting the defenses.
This is the perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"Next, it's time to move on to the second step."
Makoto Goji's finger traced across the map, finally stopping at a place called Wind Howl Valley.
This is another important supply transit point on the eastern front of Konoha. It is slightly smaller than Cangnan, but its location is more concealed and its defenses are equally strong.
"However, wouldn't it be too conspicuous for me to go directly there and use the Great Shinra technique?"
Gouju Cheng stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"We need to try a different approach —"
While the Great Shinra is indeed impressive, now that he's going to be an assassin, he naturally needs to act like one.
Furthermore, he needs to use the Rinnegan's abilities more often and practice them until he's proficient.
Gouju pondered the matter deeply, and soon a new idea took shape in his mind.
"This time, let's play it dirty."
Makoto put away the map, stood up, and felt the chakra that had been restored to his body. A sly glint flashed in his eyes.
He didn't report anything to the village; he didn't want to, and there was no need to.
The power of the Rinnegan is too overpowered. If Madara knew about his copying of the Rinnegan now, who knows if that guy would react excessively.
Moreover, Kirigakure is a special village!
This village doesn't need political maneuvering, nor does it need to form cliques or factions.
Kirigakure is a village that respects the strong. As long as you are strong enough and can bring victory to the village, whatever you do is right and can be tolerated.
Putting everything else aside, if White Fang had been born in Kirigakure, all that talk of framing would have meant he'd be competing with Yagura for the Fourth Hokage's position tomorrow!
As long as Makoto Karatachi continues to grow, or even if he doesn't grow at all, as long as Yagura comes to power, he can do whatever he wants in the village.
In a word.
My brother Cheng doesn't need to report anything to anyone, because the entire Wuyin will be in my hands!
"Wind Valley —"
Gouju Cheng unfolded the map and double-checked the location and route.
Wind Valley is located on the eastern border of the Land of Fire, facing the Land of Waves across the sea. Its terrain is complex, with deep valleys. Strong winds blow through it year-round, producing a howling sound like a sob, hence its name.
Konoha established an important supply depot there. Although it was not as large as the Cangnan supply depot, its location was secluded and easy to defend, and it undertook the special task of transporting precision ninja tools, communication equipment, and some medical supplies to the front line.
More importantly, the Wind Valley transit station is also an important node in the intelligence network of Konoha's eastern front. It is said that a special team responsible for deciphering and transmitting intelligence is stationed there.
"Intelligence nodes, sophisticated supplies, easy to defend and difficult to attack —"
Gouju Cheng stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming: "This place is great! If we can take it down, it'll be another huge achievement!"
"Let's go scout it out first."
Gouju Cheng carefully put away the map, and with a swift movement, he disappeared into the forest like a shadow, quickly heading towards Wind Howling Valley.
He still tried his best to conceal his presence and avoided main roads and areas that might be guarded, choosing instead a more secluded but also more rugged mountain route.
With his current physical abilities and chakra control, this terrain can actually provide better cover.
What? You're saying that even with the Rinnegan and Kamui, you can't be a crab on the battlefield?
Ninja battles, in the final analysis, are battles of intelligence. Although the power of Kamui and the Rinnegan is strong, Makoto Karatachi knows very well how deep the waters of the ninja world really are. He plays by surprise attacks, but if he becomes too conspicuous and attracts the attention of certain individuals, things will not be so fun.
Several hours later, Gouju Cheng had approached the outer area of Fengming Valley.
The wind in the air noticeably picked up, carrying the unique moisture and coolness of the valley. The whistling sound as it passed through the crevices of rocks and trees was indeed like the whisper of the wind.
He hid in a crevice in a towering rock wall, looking down at the scene at the entrance of the valley.
The valley entrance had been widened by human intervention, and simple barricades and sentry posts had been set up. Four Konoha ninjas stood on either side, vigilantly watching the passageway.
Deeper in, the outlines of barracks and warehouses built against the mountain can be vaguely seen, as well as some small patrol teams patrolling the valley.
"The defenses are indeed very strong—"
"Unfortunately, it's useless to me!"
Without further ado, Goju Makoto's eyes had silently transformed into the Rinnegan.
Wheel Grave!
With a thought, a clone identical to Makoto Gojibana's original body, but with a dark gray color and resembling a shadow, silently appeared beside him.
This Limbo clone is completely undetectable by ordinary ninjas; only those with the Rinnegan or the power of the Six Paths can perceive and attack it.
Moreover, it possesses all the abilities of Makoto Kurita's original form!
"Go."
Gouju sincerely transmitted the command telepathically: "Infiltrate the Wind Howling Valley transfer station, then unleash a stealth-burst masterpiece upon them!"
The Limbo clone nodded slightly, then its figure, like a real shadow, blended into the shadow of the rocks and silently stealthily moved towards the valley.
Makoto Karimoto remained in place, maintaining his Rinnegan state, quietly watching the actions of the Limbo clone and the movements of the entire valley.
The infiltration process of the Limbo clone was flawless.
Like an invisible ghost, it didn't even need to avoid the sentry posts and guard barriers at the valley entrance. It swaggered into the most crucial core warehouse area of Wind Howling Valley without being discovered or noticed.
The warehouse was heavily guarded, with ninjas standing guard at the entrance and patrol teams inside.
But for a shadow caught in the cracks of reincarnation, these defenses are utterly useless.
The Limbo clone passed through the heavy wooden door and entered the warehouse.
It was filled with all sorts of supplies: boxes of kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, sealed medical supplies, specially made communication scrolls, and even some chakra metal and rare medicinal herbs sealed in special containers.
Although not as plentiful as the Cangnan supply station, the items here are still quite valuable.
"Wow, a lot of good stuff!"
Through the shared vision of the clones of the Wheel of Death, Makoto Kujira was envious.
Previously at the Cangnan supply station, I was only thinking about showing off and almost forgot my original intention of getting rice.
I'm so damn stupid!
Split into another body!
Originally intending to use his Limbo clone to unleash a powerful attack and instantly explode his shadow, Makoto Karatachi changed his plans. With a thought, his main body instantly arrived at the warehouse.
This is the power of Limbo!
Limbo clones are not only undetectable shadow clones with all the abilities of the original body, but they can also instantly swap positions with the original body, making them comparable to clone versions of Flying Thunder God!
Upon arriving in his true form, Makoto Kuraki did not hesitate, and his Rinnegan eyes instantly transformed into kaleidoscopes.
Kamui!
Mine, mine, all mine!
Makoto Gojibana took all the goods from the warehouse. After doing all this, he used his ability to become intangible to cover the warehouse and the corners of the site with a dense array of explosive tags.
Then----
"drink!"
"Art is an explosion!"
