Outside Amegakure.
The village's surrounds had also been impacted by the weather, with gloomy clouds covering the sky and a lot of rain falling.
Swish!!
within the forest, where there were many puddles and uneven patches of land. Abruptly, someone stepped into one of the puddles, hurried forward, and followed him around 10 figures
Leading them was a man wearing a heavy red armour, he was truly tall around 228 cm and carried a red furnace on his back.
Han, an S-Rank Shinobi of Iwagakure and Jinchuriki of Five Tails.
Behind him the squad was comprised of all jonin, wearing the dark brown jackets of Iwa only for jonin.
As the squad continued to move forward, the number of trees around them began to lessen clearly meaning they were about to walk out of the woodland.
"Huh?"
But at this moment, Han, who was at front seemed to sense something, raising his brows and halting his movements immediately.
"Did something happen, Lord Han?"
The jonin squad behind him stopped immediately as one of them stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"I sense some chakra signatures ahead of us and one of them is quite strong; probably a kilometer or two from here."
Said Han lightly with his finger pointed straight, the road they were travelling on to the reach Amegakure.
"Is it Ame Shinob?"
Guessed a jonin as the direction that Han pointed lead to Amegakure and shinobi stationed around the village to guard was normal.
"That's the most likely answer but I'm concerned about that one strong chakra; I have seen Hanzo before and his chakra was stronger than the one I'm sensing now"
"But still such chakra can't be possessed by someone nameless, in our intelligence Amegakure doesn't have another shinobi even close to the level of Hanzo so let's stay alert and move on carefully."
Said Han with a cautious look in his eyes, he has always acted rationally and this situation demanded the same from him.
Agreeing with Han's suggestion the squad moved forward again but a lot stealthier this time and slowly approached the point where Han sensed chakra.
----------------------------------
"If we can't find a way to silently enter the village; than we have no choice but to use some force but it will require you all to act as a bait and it would surely cost you your lives."
Hiding behind the huge boulder, Danzo who for days had been trying to find a weak spot to infiltrate finally decided to use the other way.
Causing a commotion at the entrance using his subordinates, he was confident enough to take advantage of the chaos created and slip in the village but it will surely result in the death of shinobi acting as a bait.
"We are ready Lord Danzo."
The root shinobi didn't hesitate a second to agree to Danzo's order and presented their lives, to them Danzo was everything and nothing else mattered, for him they could give their life and take life of anyone, be it their parents, children or siblings.
"Good!"
Seeing them so enthusiastic to give up their lives for him, Danzo praised them with a satisfied look on his face.
"So let-
SWISH!!
Danzo who wanted to give them a formal order to start suddenly seem to sense something and stopped talking immediately, his only visible eye widening and an air-tearing sound spreading.
From the forest behind them, a red light flashed out leaving white aura behind it and approached Danzo in an instant.
A fist with steam around it gradually enlarged in the eyes of Danzo, the world around him seemed to have slowed down.
With his eye glued on the approaching fist, Danzo without moving from the spot just made two hand seals and opened his mouth.
BOOM!!!
Massive wind gusts gushed out of the mouth of Danzo, hitting the steam fist as impact of both generating a massive boom in the air.
BANG!!!!
Dust rose up from the impact and from that dust a figure flew out and hit the huge boulder, destroying the boulder as a result as well.
Cough!!!
Rubble blew everywhere and among the pieces of the boulder Danzo on his knees coughing out blood.
"Oh~ I expected to remove the head with that blow, guess it's not that easy to take down someone who grew up under the second hokage."
Said Han calmly, with his eyes on Danzo coughing blood as a result from his attack.
He had attacked suddenly and strongly and was expecting to take down Danzo with one hit but still Danzo managed to offset some of the force in his fist with a last second wind style.
"Lord Danzo!!!!"
The root finally came back to senses after the sudden attack, all gathering around Danzo with worry for Danzo clearly in their tone.
Swish!
From the forest shadows flashed out and landed behind Han, the jonin squad complete again.
"Damn it!! What's the Jinchuriki of Five Tails doing here!?"
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Danzo stood up and cursed with anger and disbelief after finally getting a good look at his attacker, shocked at the sudden appearance of Han.
