Chapter 233 Hanekawa's spy identity revealed
Chapter 233: Hanekawa's identity as a spy is revealed (th update)
Screams sounded.
The two Cloud Village ninjas at the entrance of the base were engulfed by various ninjutsu and turned into ashes.
The entire Cloud Hidden Village stronghold was suddenly awakened.
The Fourth Raikage flashed and arrived at the door.
All he could see was chaotic chakra fluctuations.
"Enemy attack!"
The Fourth Raikage shouted, "Use Wind Style to disperse the thick fog!"
The wind-style ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village suddenly created a violent storm.
Most of the thick fog was blown away, revealing the Konoha Village ninjas inside.
When the Fourth Raikage saw Tsunade and Hanekawa, his eyes couldn't help but focus.
It seems that the information we got last night did not seem false.
The sound of fighting sounded.
Ninja tools and ninjutsu flew in the air, and the entire stronghold was suddenly in chaos.
The Fourth Raikage's body turned into a ray of lightning and instantly appeared in front of Tsunade.
Strange power!
Tsunade clenched her fist and punched out.
Heavy flow!
The Fourth Raikage raised his elbow.
Boom!
With the two people as the center, the ground cracked and dust flew.
The Fourth Raikage subconsciously took a few steps back.
He did not use the Lightning Chakra mode, so his strength was inferior.
Just as Hanekawa was about to help, there was a sound of breaking wind behind him.
He drew out the Thunder and Fire Sword and blocked the dagger with his backhand.
Hanekawa turned around and saw Samui, who had a plump figure but a cold expression.
She raised her hand and curled her fingers slightly.
Hanekawa immediately understood what she meant.
The Fourth Raikage not only wanted to confirm the information given by the Root Ninja, but also wanted to talk to him.
Hanekawa stepped forward and slashed at Samui with the Thunder and Fire Sword.
There was a sound.
Samui held the dagger tightly in both hands and blocked the thunder and fire sword.
The huge force caused her body to tremble violently and uncontrollably, and then she retreated backwards.
Hanekawa glanced subconsciously.
No wonder in the future Samui's figure will be able to compete with Tsunade's, and now the first signs of this are already apparent.
"Hanekawa."
Samui kicked his feet and fought with Hanekawa in close combat again.
"what's up?"
Hanekawa dodged her attack, turned his body, and came in front of her and asked.
A faint fragrance filled the air and penetrated into his nostrils.
"You asked knowingly."
Samui held his sword in front of him and it collided with the Thunder and Fire Sword.
"I have no information at the moment."
Hanekawa said softly.
"you are lying."
Samui gritted his teeth and asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will expose your identity as a spy?"
"It will do you no good to reveal my identity."
Hanekawa dodged her electric knife and said.
"There's no benefit, but the Hidden Cloud Village will not accept a spy with ulterior motives!"
Samui whispered, "I hope you will think it over carefully."
"I will."
Hanekawa knocked her away with a sword.
"You still have time to think about it."
Samui did not attack again. After saying the last sentence, he instantly appeared in front of the Fourth Raikage.
"You win today, everyone retreat!"
The Fourth Raikage took one look at Samui, and without further ado, turned and left.
"Chase!"
Tsunade naturally refused to let them leave.
Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Hanekawa formed seals with his hands, and a water dragon flew out with a roar.
But the next second, he was beaten to pieces by a punch from the Fourth Raikage.
He and Hanekawa looked at each other for a second, then fought and retreated.
In the end, after sacrificing half of the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage, Samui and others escaped.
"The Fourth Raikage is more cautious than I thought."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "I think he will try a few more times."
"Ah."
Hanekawa nodded slightly.
One is to test them, and the other is to make them lower their guard.
As for the intelligence, Hanekawa has made up his mind not to bother with the Hidden Cloud Village anymore.
It didn't matter if they exposed him as a spy.
After all, he now has the protective talisman of Wood Release.
Two weeks passed and it was September.
Just as Tsunade said, the Fourth Raikage conducted six more attempts, all of which were ordinary stronghold battles.
Both sides suffered losses, neither big nor small, and a stalemate occurred.
Until the new Jonin Conference is held.
"We discovered this morning that the Hidden Cloud Village has established a new camp here."
Orochimaru said, pointing to a mountain on the map.
"Why are you here?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked in confusion.
"Are you planning to deploy a surprise force for a surprise attack?"
Hatake Sakumo asked thoughtfully.
"Not like."
Nara Shikaku shook his head and said, "This mountain is thousands of meters away from our nearest stronghold, so it is difficult to launch a surprise attack."
"How many ninjas are there up there?"
Tsunade asked after a moment's thought.
"About a thousand Kumogakure ninjas."
Orochimaru said calmly, "The number of people is not small, there must be some special arrangements."
"Have you checked?"
When Tsunade just entered the main tent, she found that several jonin from the Hyuga clan and the Aburame clan were missing.
"Hinata Hizashi and Aburame Shiwei will be back soon."
Orochimaru nodded slightly and said.
Half an hour later, the dusty Hyuga Hizashi and Aburame Shiwei walked into the main tent.
"The new camp of the Hidden Cloud Village is heavily guarded. They have even set up a special barrier filled with chakra that is difficult to penetrate even with the Byakugan."
Hinata Hiashi paused and said, "But Zhiwei used the parasitic bug and discovered something."
"The parasite sensed a very dangerous aura in the new camp."
Aburame Shiwei took over the conversation and continued.
"Could it be the chakra of the tailed beasts?"
After hearing this, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a tailed beast."
Aburame Shiwei shook her head and said, "The parasites can't sense any signs of life."
"what is that?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
"Maybe it's some kind of ninja tool."
Hanekawa suddenly thought of the chakra cannon of the Hidden Cloud Village.
It is the secret weapon used by the Hidden Cloud Village in the movie. It is charged with chakra, and the more chakra it charges, the greater its power.
It is said that even the moon can be shattered with one shot.
But now, if it were ten or twenty years earlier, it might not exist.
"Whatever it is, it must be destroyed."
Orochimaru immediately said, "Tsunade, I'll leave this matter to you."
Tsunade nodded seriously.
She knew that the Fourth Raikage's test was over, and what was next would be a real battle of life and death.
In addition to the Hidden Cloud Village, she also has to guard against the actions of Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo.
This battle can be said to be extremely dangerous.
She subconsciously looked at Hanekawa.
The victory or defeat does not depend on her, but on her student.
Hanekawa noticed her gaze, turned around and smiled back at her.
"Let's go."
Tsunade couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl up slightly.
The Jonin meeting ended and everyone left, leaving only Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura.
"The Fourth Raikage finally made a move!"
Shimura Danzo said excitedly.
Orochimaru remained noncommittal.
"At this point, you can't be soft-hearted!"
Danzo Shimura looked at him and reminded him.
"Of course I won't."
Orochimaru said indifferently, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"rest assured!"
Shimura Danzo couldn't help but let a smile appear on his face.
Orochimaru glanced at him and turned to leave the main tent.
In his excitement, Danzo Shimura did not realize that he had not been personally involved from beginning to end.
If something really happens, Orochimaru can distance himself from it.
Although he may not be able to completely clear himself of the blame, given his strength and status, he won't be in such a bad state.
It’s hard to say about Shimura Danzo.
Orochimaru had worked with him many times and had always used him as a tool.
He was previously threatened by the Wood Release experiment and forced to cooperate with Danzo Shimura again, so naturally he was not happy about it.
And in Orochimaru's opinion, he is no longer of any use.
As for whether the Wood Release experiment would be exposed after Danzo Shimura gets into trouble.
He didn't dare, because if he didn't expose himself, Orochimaru would save him.
The Konoha Village headquarters started operating.
The mobilization of one thousand ninjas would take some time.
Hanekawa and Tsunade were waiting in the tent.
Of course, they were waiting for more than that.
"Tsunade-sama."
Hinata Hizashi walked in after getting permission.
"What's going on?"
Tsunade asked straight to the point.
"First, the Sand Village ninjas were transferred to the west. Second, the Hatake Sakumo team was transferred to the east. Third, we were left at the base camp."
Hinata Hizashi replied, "From three directions, we will prevent sneak attacks from the Hidden Cloud Village to the greatest extent possible."
“It does sound reasonable.”
Tsunade said with a chuckle.
"Whose order is it?"
Hanekawa asked curiously.
"It was an order from Danzo Shimura in the name of Orochimaru."
Hinata Hizashi said truthfully.
"Orochimaru still has some feelings for us." Tsunade couldn't help but sigh when she heard that.
Orochimaru is her teammate and Nawaki's teacher, and she doesn't want to get to the point of fighting.
Hanekawa stroked his chin.
It seems that Orochimaru is not proactive enough, and is a bit like a hands-off boss.
Is it because of Tsunade and Nawaki?
"Thank you, Hizashi."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "You can go down."
"It's what we, the Hyuga clan, should do."
Hinata Hizashi said this and turned to leave.
"Fortunately, you promised to accept Hyuga Hiashi's child as your apprentice. Otherwise, you might not have received such strong support from the Hyuga clan."
Tsunade looked at his figure and said slowly.
"I'm going to look for Uncle Sakumo."
Hanekawa said nonchalantly, "With their strength, it won't be difficult to deceive Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo."
"I sense you have a lot of confidence in them."
Tsunade asked with some confusion, "Although Sakumo is very strong, his fighting style is destined to be unable to deal with the tailed beasts."
"Have you forgotten that their team severely injured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki a long time ago?"
Hanekawa smiled mysteriously and said, "They promise not to let you down."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Tsunade couldn't help but become interested.
Hanekawa went to look for Hatake Sakumo and the others, and when he came back, a thousand ninjas were ready to go.
"set off!"
Tsunade glanced at Shimura Danzo and others who were seeing her off, then turned and left.
……
The new camp in the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Lord Raikage."
Dodai quickly walked into the main tent, "Tsunade has set out with a thousand ninjas."
"What are Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo's movements?"
The Fourth Raikage nodded slightly.
"Please look."
Tutai stretched out his hand, drew a line on the map, and said, "Their remaining forces form a defensive formation here."
"It seems unlikely that we can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on their base camp."
The Fourth Raikage shook his head and said.
"It doesn't matter."
Mabui said with a smile, "Being able to defeat Tsunade and Hanekawa is a big victory for our Kumogakure Village."
"Yes."
The Fourth Raikage said with emotion, "The Hidden Cloud Village also needs this great victory to stabilize the morale of the army."
The Third Ninja World War has lasted for four years, and the record of the Hidden Cloud Village up to this point can only be described as mediocre.
Things like the Konoha Village, the annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the capture of the Four-Tails alive and the killing of the Third Mizukage all shocked the ninja world and greatly boosted morale.
Not only did the Hidden Cloud Village not have it, it also lost the Third Raikage.
"Let Yumujin and Kirabi come."
The Fourth Raikage stood up and said, "This time our Hidden Cloud Village will win!"
In order to avoid being discovered by the Konoha Village, he asked the two Yumujin and Killer Bee not to go up the mountain.
Now that Tsunade has stood up, they can bring people over.
By then, they will be surrounded on three sides, and with the addition of two Jinchūriki, Tsunade and Hanekawa will have no way to escape.
Even if Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura went back on their word and sent people to rescue, it would be too late.
Because the Fourth Raikage deliberately chose a location for the new camp on a mountain that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In addition, if we make arrangements in advance, we can prevent their rescue to the greatest extent possible.
……
An hour later, everyone from Konoha Village arrived at their destination.
Hanekawa looked at the mountain in the distance. It was taller than he had imagined.
And there is not just one mountain range, but a continuous mountain range.
"It's a bit troublesome."
Tsunade glanced around, frowned slightly, and said, "It's not easy for us to launch an attack."
"In that case, then don't attack."
Hanekawa thought for a moment and asked, "How about we work together to summon the slug?"
"you sure?"
Tsunade was startled and said hesitantly, "That will consume a lot of chakra."
"I'm fine."
Hanekawa said nonchalantly, "With the Yin Seal in place, it won't have any impact."
"can."
Tsunade thought about it for a moment and then agreed.
Although it will waste some chakra, it will undoubtedly reduce casualties.
Tsunade and Hanekawa took a few steps forward and then formed hand seals at the same time.
Psychic art!
Vast chakra burst out from the two people's bodies, as heavy as a mountain.
The air twisted, followed by a cloud of chaotic smoke.
Boom!
The smoke cleared and a giant white slug appeared.
"so big!"
Nohara Lin couldn't help but exclaim.
"I feel it's even bigger than the previous Four-Tail."
Yuhi Kurenai's eyes widened.
"Is this Tsunade-sama's summoning beast?"
Hinata Hizashi and others also showed surprise.
They had seen slugs before, but this was the first time they had seen one this big.
"Lord Slug!"
Tsunade pointed at the mountain in the distance and said, "Crash it!"
The slug immediately squirmed upon hearing this.
There was a loud noise.
It crashed into the mountain.
The surface of the mountain suddenly broke into pieces, stirring up countless gravel and dust.
The people from the Hidden Cloud Village above were stumbling all over the place, and many died on the spot.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage shouted, "Everyone get down the mountain!"
Although the mountain is tall and big, it cannot withstand a few collisions.
The Fourth Raikage leaped and fell from the top of the mountain to the foot.
The same goes for the rest of the ninjas.
"Master Slug, step back."
Tsunade shouted when she realized her goal had been achieved.
Slugs are auxiliary psychic beasts and are not suitable for combat.
And even if they have to fight, they have to deal with the two tailed beasts in the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Hanekawa!"
The Fourth Raikage fell to the ground and said with a gloomy face, "If you capture Tsunade now, I will still regard you as a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village!"
Hanekawa's act of summoning the slug just now had already angered him.
It is no exaggeration to say that it destroyed the perfect plan of their Hidden Cloud Village.
And seeing as Hanekawa was acting this way, needless to say, she definitely didn't want to return to the Hidden Cloud Village.
In this case, the Fourth Raikage was too lazy to give him face and directly revealed his identity.
Everyone in Konoha Village was stunned.
What does it mean?
How could Hanekawa be a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village?
"Are you getting old and confused?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hekawa is my student and also a ninja from Konoha Village!"
"Hahaha!"
The Fourth Raikage laughed and said, "How ridiculous! My spy from the Hidden Cloud Village actually fooled your entire Konoha Village!"
Tsunade subconsciously looked at Hanekawa.
"Teacher, do you believe it?"
Hanekawa asked with a normal expression.
"Of course I don't believe it!"
Tsunade looked at the Fourth Raikage and said coldly, "Your plan is too unrealistic to try to alienate us in front of the battle!"
"Estrangement?"
The Fourth Raikage said disdainfully, "I'm not that stupid!"
"Without further ado!"
Tsunade frowned and said unhappily, "Fight if you want!"
It was simply a fantasy to say that Hanekawa was a spy, and it immediately made her angry.
"I can prove it!"
Ma Buyi's voice suddenly sounded from the left.
Then a group of ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village came closer and formed a siege with the Fourth Raikage and others.
Tsunade couldn't help but frown.
He is the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
Damn!
Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura really didn't inform her in advance?
If the Two-Tails Jinchuriki has come, then the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki might be on the way as well.
Tsunade's heart tightened and she had a bad feeling.
Can she and Hanekawa, together with Team Hatake Sakumo, really defeat them?
Tsunade had previously thought that the worst case scenario would be the Fourth Raikage Kajirabi, but she didn't expect the Hidden Cloud Village to be so courageous.
If Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura launched a surprise attack on the Hidden Cloud Village base at this time, they would definitely win.
It’s a pity that the two of them won’t go, and may even delay support.
"Princess Tsunade."
Mabui stepped forward and said, "This document clearly records Hanekawa's experience before he came to Konoha Village. You can tell at a glance."
She threw it lightly and the information flew in front of Tsunade.
Hanekawa remained calm and neither tried to grab nor to receive it.
Tsunade took the information casually.
But she did not open it, but tore it to pieces in front of Mabui.
"you!"
Ma Buyi's expression froze involuntarily.
Hanekawa was also a little surprised.
"This method makes no sense to me."
Tsunade said slowly, "You don't understand Hanekawa at all."
"I think you don't understand him."
Mabui shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, Hanekawa is a ninja from my Kumogakure Village."
"There is another way."
Another group of ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village arrived, led by Dodai.
Tsunade took a quick look and felt a little depressed.
As expected, there is also the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee.
In addition to the two Jinchuriki, the number of ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village also increased to three thousand.
They are now in a precarious situation.
"Hekawa has learned many unique ninjutsu from our Hidden Cloud Village."
Dodai smiled faintly and said, "Princess Tsunade, you will see it soon. You will not be able to disbelieve it then."
Tsunade simply ignored it.
In her opinion, this was the Hidden Cloud Village's plan to sow discord.
the reason is simple.
If Hanekawa were lost, the thousand ninjas of Konoha Village would be trapped in a jar with no chance of survival.
"is it?"
Hanekawa walked forward, smiling, and said, "I would like to show you the unique ninjutsu of Konoha Village."
