Chapter 254 The Road

Konoha February 33

After a long series of preparations, Lei Luo and his party finally embarked on their journey on an ordinary day. Their destination was the Kingdom of Water, and their target was the Third Mizukage.

The village of Konoha is still calm. Except for Danzo, Mito Uzumaki, and a few root ninjas, no senior elders, including the Hokage, know the content of their mission.

, let alone civilians.

An ordinary mission, level A. This is what Lei Luo and others said to the outside world. It is very ordinary and inconspicuous. The procedures were handled by Danzo. Everything is in line with the procedures, at least on the surface.

In order to prevent the higher-ups of the Hokage department or the spies from other ninja villages from getting wind of it and leaking the news, this was the proper intention.

Even Lei Luo's younger brother Raito, Namikaze Minato's new girlfriend Kushina... Similar team members and relatives also don't know where they are going or what they are going to do.

As for what the true level of this mission should be, no one can accurately measure it. At least, it is far from comparable to ordinary S-level missions.

Assassination Squad is the name Lei Luo gave to his current team. The style is as concise and clear as ever, deeply reflecting the nature of their mission and their extremely clear goal.

Although Lei Luo actually preferred to call it the "Three Generations Mizukage Project Team", considering the reception ability of his team members, he still decided to call it the Assassination Squad.

As for the team members, there were six people in total except Lei Luo who were finally determined:

Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shiguro, Nono U, a Konoha elite jounin named Hinata Tamaki, and an old expert in sealing, barrier, and perception fields named Uzumaki Tomoki.

These people basically include the combat team, perception team, intelligence team, logistics medical team, latent camouflage team, mobile transfer team, and expert cracking team.

Three days have passed since they set out from the village. The seven Lei Luo people traveled lightly and lightly, paying great attention to hiding the team's whereabouts.

Because almost all of them have very powerful perception and detection abilities.

Therefore, under the alternate use of various sensing methods, the assassination team's detection frequency is extremely close to seamless connection, just like a wide-area radar activated around the clock.

Therefore, their team of seven people can be said to be conducting a blanket search at any time, and their investigation efficiency is no less than that of a ninja army of thousands of people.

No one or anything can hide their traces from them.

Even a fly or an ant can't escape Hinata's white eyes and Aburame's secret insect sense technique.

In this way, walking and searching all the way, Lei Luo led his team quickly across the vast territory of the Fire Country, and arrived at a place not far from the eastern coastline without any delay.

At this moment, their current foothold is at the top of a mountain range with a relatively high altitude and a relatively broad view. From here, they can already faintly see the ocean with a light blue shimmer in the distance.

Since we were at the top of the mountain, the air pressure was low and the air was thinner. The sound of wind blowing from left to right was constant, which gave people a rather cool feeling for a while, along with a slight feeling of chest tightness.

But everyone present was a powerful ninja, so this discomfort was not a big deal at all.

"Our current location is in the eastern part of the Country of Fire. We still have a few hours to reach the coastline ahead..."

Holding a rather detailed map in his hand, Nonoyu carefully observed the pattern on it, then looked up at the distant scene, and then made a report according to his daily routine.

"Master Jueying, do we want to continue on the original route?"

After saying that, Nonoyu put away the map, raised his glasses, smoothed his hair that was blown by the wind, and then turned his gaze to the man who was silently closing his eyes and pressing his temples with his fingers, as if doing something.

Lei Luo was thinking something.

As for the other people, they also withdrew their gazes looking into the distance one after another, and also focused their gazes on Lei Luo, seeming to be waiting for him to make a decision.

After a while, perhaps realizing that others were looking at him, Lei Luo opened his eyes slightly. He did not raise his head, but said slowly in a low and thoughtful tone:

"Continue walking and you will arrive at the Country of Waves. Since Kirigakure has set up blockades in other countries surrounding the Country of Whirlpool, the Country of Waves should be no exception."

"Considering that the Country of Waves is the closest coastal country to the Country of Fire, it's hard to say whether Kirigakure Village will invest heavily here."

"Going straight ahead, we will inevitably encounter the Kirigakure ninjas stationed in the Land of Waves, and their number is likely to be quite large... Even if we kill them all, they will not be able to spread any news.

Go back, but..."

"From the perspective of Kirigakure Village, what would these people think if they suddenly lost contact?"

Without waiting for anyone else to answer, Lei Luo continued: "They will think that there is an unknown force involved in their war with the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and this unknown force is extremely powerful.

.”

"In other words, Kirigakure Village is likely to increase its alert in the future, and even Mizukage may adjust his action plan for this."

"And this is definitely not a good thing for our assassination operation."

"After all, this means that the previously obtained information is out of date."

"So, I tend to go around the coast, find the weak points of the fog ninja defense line with fewer people, break through them, and finally enter the kingdom of water."

Lei Luo spoke very slowly, and everyone around him listened attentively, and no one interrupted him midway.

Until Lei Luo finished speaking, Orochimaru, who was standing next to him, spoke:

"Lei Luo, I think this is too cautious?" Orochimaru shrugged helplessly and quickly expressed his opinion:

"Although the Country of Waves is a small country, the country's land area is actually not that small. With the manpower and material resources of Kirigakure Village, I don't think they can strictly guard every inch of the Country of Waves."

"As long as we do a good job of shielding our perception capabilities, we can carefully bypass the defense line of Kirigakure Village just like the previous Sea Serpent mission."

"In this case, I think we still have a high chance of being able to penetrate directly into the Kingdom of Water without exposing any flaws."

It seems that after Orochimaru had the experience of performing a mission together with Lei Luo, he had a certain understanding of the high-level latent assassination process, and the objections he raised at the moment were also very reliable.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, before Lei Luo said anything, Aburame Shiguro on the other side spoke first:

"Blocking sentience?"

Frowning and asking a question, Aburame Shiguro said to Orochimaru in a neither salty nor bland tone:

"Orochimaru, although I don't know what the sea snake mission you are talking about is, but if you mean shielding the perception ability, you mean shielding the most common, traditional spiritual perception..."

"Then I can tell you right now, this method probably won't work in Kirigakure Village."

After saying this, Aburame Shiguro ignored Orochimaru's somewhat ugly expression and continued to explain:

"Excluding mental perception, as far as I know, many sensory ninjas in Kirigakure Village use a method of tactile perception by casting a large range of fog and using the fog to contact other people's bodies."

"What's more..." As he spoke, Aburame Shiguro turned around and glanced at the vaguely visible ocean in the distance, with a solemn look on his face:

"Based on the array that Kirigakure has created this time, it's hard to say whether they will set up a sensory barrier in the Land of Waves."
