"Hmm? What was that sound?"
Two Iwagakure ninja passed through a dark area, and one of them looked around in confusion.
But it was completely silent all around, with no sound other than their own breathing.
"Could it be those Konoha guys have infiltrated?"
Hearing his companion's mumble, the Iwagakure ninja next to him patted his shoulder and reassured him.
"You must have misheard. This is our main camp. How could those Konoha guys sneak in? Alright, alright, let's go. We've been busy all day; let's go back and rest."
"Alright."
The Iwagakure ninja, seeing there was nothing, could only give up and follow his companion away.
The two turned and left, unaware that in the darkness behind them, three pairs of eyes were watching their retreating figures. The two were still chatting and laughing, oblivious that they had just walked a path close to death.
"These Iwagakure ninja are really lax."
Ren said in a low voice, somewhat speechless.
"It's good news for us, isn't it?"
Minato Namikaze smiled slightly, waving his hand to signal the two to continue forward. Soon, the three arrived at an area heavily populated by Iwagakure ninja. Upon reaching here, Ren and the others also stopped, because the defences here were not on the same level as the previous ones. There were always people patrolling this area, and they were all in groups of at least three. Even if they could eliminate a patrol team in one go, they would definitely be discovered within two minutes.
"Then let's do it here."
Minato Namikaze gestured to the two, and Shibi Aburame immediately understood. A batch of Kikai Bugs emerged from his body, flying scattered into the dark corners of the tents, adding another layer of "natural" camouflage to the already hidden trio.
Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze and Ren began to discuss tactics. The sinister smiles that occasionally appeared on their faces made even Shibi Aburame, who was nearby, feel a chill. How did two good young men get together and become like this? Disciples taught by such important figures as the Sannin were indeed "different."
"How is it? Any problems?"
Minato Namikaze asked in a low voice, simultaneously pulling out several Flying Thunder God Kunai from his ninja tool pouch.
"Hehehe, then it's decided. Let's start quickly, Minato Bro."
Ren stretched his fingers, eager to begin.
"We move precisely in one minute. Now, begin!"
After speaking, Minato Namikaze instantly vanished from his spot, then appeared in a shadowy corner a dozen meters away. Both quietly waited for the time to start their action.
Meanwhile, Shibi Aburame stood nearby with a dark expression, supporting the two. Knowing he couldn't stop them, he could only choose to compromise.
A minute later, a Flying Thunder God Kunai streaked across the night sky, appearing directly above the Iwagakure resting area. Then, a figure appeared next to the Kunai. On the other side, Ren also began his action. Using the obstacles next to the tents, Ren reached the tent roof in the blink of an eye. While running, he attached a large amount of Chakra to the soles of his feet and continuously built up power. After reaching the highest point, Ren leapt, and the large amount of Chakra at his feet simultaneously burst forth. The enormous recoil instantly propelled Ren into the air, level with Minato Namikaze.
The two exchanged glances, and as if by telepathy, simultaneously formed hand seals, even the seals themselves were identical.
"Summoning Technique! X2"
Two large clouds of white mist exploded in mid-air, instantly attracting the attention of all the patrol teams in the Iwa Camp. The Iwa Camp was silent for a moment, then someone belatedly shouted.
"Enemy attack!"
But the Iwagakure ninja had no time. Two giant toads descended from the sky, crashing heavily into the crowded residential area.
Roof Tile Destruction Technique!
"Boom!!"
A huge sound came, and large sections of tents were levelled. Countless Iwagakure ninja were crushed to death in their sleep, including even Special Jonin-level powerhouses.
"Hey, hey, what's going on? Where is this?"
A confused voice came from the white mist. Gradually, the white mist dispersed, and the appearance of the two toads was revealed to everyone.
A giant red toad, dozens of meters tall, appeared, clutching a giant pipe in its mouth, wearing a blue coat, with bandages wrapped around its waist, and a short sword tucked into them. The voice just now came from him.
The other was a huge blue-green toad, with two large swords on its back, arms crossed over its chest, exuding an overwhelming presence.
"Yo, Gamabunta Bro and Gama Hiro Bro, long time no see."
Ren landed on Gama Hiro Bro's back, smiling and waving to greet the two toads.
"Hmm? Ren kid, so it's you."
Gamabunta's gaze moved upward, seeing Ren standing on his brother's head. He puffed on his pipe and asked Ren in confusion.
"Hmm…"
Ren awkwardly scratched his head, pointing around.
"See for yourself."
"Hmm??"
Looking at the Iwagakure ninja surrounding them from all directions, Gamabunta immediately started cursing.
"Damn it, you kid and Jiraiya are all no good. You love to fight more than anyone. Can't you learn from Minato? He's…"
"Cough, cough, cough… Gamabunta, I'm here. Long time no see, huh."
Minato jumped from the white mist onto Gamabunta's head, greeting him with a smile.
"…"
Gamabunta was somewhat speechless from being messed with, while Gama Hiro Bro had remained silent since arriving, his aura as a strong toad undeniable.
"You bastards, after this fight, don't bother me for a month. Seriously, I finally get to sleep, and you two bastards drag me out to fight."
Gamabunta grumbled as he drew the short sword from his waist. Gama Hiro Bro also gripped the twin swords on his back, ready to draw them at any moment.
"Minato Bro, while they haven't arrived yet, let's hurry up."
Ren noticed the Iwagakure ninja continuously gathering from all directions and turned to Minato.
"Alright, then let's begin."
Minato Namikaze nodded, standing beside him and intently observing Ren's every move, ready to coordinate.
"Gamabunta Bro, prepare to use oil."
As Ren reminded him, his hands quickly formed seals. All his Chakra was mobilised and began to circulate within his body.
"Alright."
Gamabunta began to accumulate oil in his cheeks, and once it reached its limit, he suddenly sprayed it forward.
"Fire Release: Toad Oil Bullet!"
A thin line of fire shot out from Ren's mouth, and upon contact with Gamabunta's oil, it began to burn fiercely. At the same time, the large fire spread towards the Iwagakure tents. At this moment, Minato Namikaze, who was nearby, also made his move.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A strong gust of wind blew, fanning the flames. Soon, this large fire covered dozens of tents in the Iwagakure Camp and was still spreading outwards.
"Now this is…"
Ren and Minato Namikaze exchanged smiles.
An eye for an eye!
