Chapter 42:

Akira and Minato trek for two days before they arrived at the border of the country of rain.

To be cautious, Akira and Minato both removed their Konoha forehead protector from their foreheads to hide their identity. In the battlefield, the ninjas of the major countries wear forehead protectors for easy identification of their own people. And when Akira and Minato had just arrived at the border and didn't meet with Tsunade and Jiraiya's troops, of course it was better to be cautious.

As soon as they entered the border of the country of rain, they felt that the surrounding air was humid, with thunderclouds rolling in the sky and continuous rain.

"The country of rain is exactly what the name says…" Akira curled his lips and whispered.

"Yes, the power of using water ninjutsu in this environment is definitely good and lightning ninjutsu can also be used." Minato immediately analyzed.

Akira nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Akira took out a map from his arms and said: "We are still some distance away from the troops led by Tsunade sensei and it will take about a day or so to arrive. Now we still have to be careful." The map was given by the third hokage and it marked the current location of the Konoha Ninja troop.

"Yes." Minato agreed and said: "It's dangerous in the country of rain. We are alone and It will be easy to be hunted down by enemy ninjas, so we must be careful."

The two discussed for a while and proceeded to the front line according to the road indicated on the map.

Along the way, Akira and Minato witnessed many sights.

At the main battlefield, the country of rain is full of chaos, broken walls, and devastation. There are faint cries from the town and occasionally fighting sounds can be heard. Akira and Minato entered a small town in the country of rain and when they saw this scene, they felt a little depressed and sad.

This is war… Akira and Minato are a little bit emotional at being so close to the battlefield of death and the flames of war.

But they didn't have time to sigh, they heard a wave of footsteps and it was obvious that there were ninjas from other countries approaching. At present, the country of rain has completely become a battlefield. Konoha, Suna, Iwa and Ame are all fighting separately, presenting a four-country battle royale.

It can be said that the current rain country is in chaos.

"Someone is coming, let's be careful!" Akira reminded in a low voice.

"Yep."

Akira observed with his sharingan and the sage of the six path also reminded Akira at the right time: "There are eight ninjas ahead. Judging by the amount of chakra, they should be the strength of Chunin."

Fortunately, they were only chunin, Akira breathed a sigh of relief and then told Minato about the situation.

"It's just chunin, it would be better for us to take the initiative to attack." Akira said.

Minato immediately agreed.

While concealing his breath, Akira and Minato approached the sound of footsteps. Akira took a closer look with his sharingan and he found that there were eight ninjas in the front left, all of them were ninjas from Ame.

Akira smiled secretly, he didn't know if he was born to bully Ame ninja. These people are unlucky to ran into Akira, as we will destroy them.

Now it is the battlefield, Akira is also merciless. The war is so cruel, if he is hesitant and merciful, he may be killed by them instead.

"Minato, do it! Leave one alive, I'll get the information from the captive."

"understood!"

Minato also immediately started: "Wind style, big breakthrough!" A strong hurricane swept across, like a knife cut, hitting the three chunin. The wind was strong and the gust of wind was even more horrible like an explosion, directly engulfing the three ninjas and unexpectedly directly killing them.

Akira's movements were also very fast, only to see Akira quickly throw out four shurikens, with chakras string tied to the shurikens and paper bomb attached to them. Akira easily controlled the shurikens and attacked the remaining four Chunin from a deadly angle. When the shurikens approached these chunin, the paper bomb attached on it exploded, killing all the Ame chunin with the explosion.

Akira and Minato attacked very quickly this time with a strong offense and all the seven chunin were solved in one go.

The last remaining chunin, Akira directly tied him up with strings, restraining his body and making him completely immobile.

"Who are you guys!" Just as chunin reacted, he already became Akira's prisoner and all his surrounding companions fell to the ground dead and he was shocked and cried out in horror.

At this time, the three tomoe sharingan in Arkira's eyes appeared and eye contact with the Ame chunin, as the three tomoe slowly spin. This Ame chunin only felt that his consciousness became more and more blurred, until finally there was nothing at all.

Akira used the genjutsu with his sharingan to get the information.

The reflection of the sharingan appeared in the Ame chunin eyes, expressionless and he was obviously hypnotized by Akira

"Tell me, what's the current situation in Ame?" Akira asked.

The captive chunin replied subconsciously: "It's very chaotic and now it's a four-country battle royale."

"Where are the konoha ninja troops led by Tsunade and Jiraiya?" Akira asked again.

"In the southeast, it's about a day away from here." Captived chunin replied.

Akira nodded, which was consistent with the information in his hand.

"Who is the leader of Ame in this small town now? What is his strength?" Akira frowned slightly. It is obvious that the town is now controlled by Ame and they are hostile to Konoha. Of course Akira must be cautious.

"It's Akimoto sama, a jonin from our Ame, his strength is very close to elite jonin."

"Are there any other jonin?" Akira asked again.

"There are three other jonin who are less powerful than Akimoto sama."

Akira nodded, knowing the strength of Ame in this small town. A Ame jonin whose strength is close to the elite jonin, named Akimoto. There are also three jonins, a total of four jonins.

Knowing the strength of Ame ninja in the town, Akira's eyes lit up, and then he directed the hypnotized the Ame chunin to say: "Now take us to find the jonin in your rain country!"

"Akira, what do you want to do?" Minato was startled.

A smile appeared at the corner of Akira's mouth: "Don't you think it's boring for us to go directly to Tsunade and Jiraiya like this?"

"You mean…" Minato guessed Akira's thoughts.

Akira squinted his eyes and smiled while saying: "Yes, why don't we kill all the jonins in this town as a gift for Teacher Tsunade and Jiraiya sensei!"

Minato also became excited with the idea "Okay! We will give Tsunade and Jiraiya sensei a big gift!"

"let's go!"
