In recent days, the Hidden Sand Village's attacks had grown more frequent and intense. Combined with the pressure from the Hidden Stone Village and Rain Villages, the frontline forces were stretched thin.
The camp had no choice but to continuously send out squads to provide reinforcements. Xin, Minato, and Nawaki were among those sent as reinforcements.
"Xin, there's an ambush in the forest ahead," Ophis whispered who was nestled inside Xin's raincoat, peeking out to warn him.
Minato, and Nawaki immediately tensed up.
In the past few days, it was thanks to Ophis's warnings that they had avoided several large groups of enemies, taking down more than a few squads in the process.
"Which village are they from?" Xin gestured for them to take cover, and the three quickly concealed themselves.
The Land of Rain might have its faults, but aside from the constant downpour, it was an ideal place for hiding or setting up an ambush with its dense forests.
"They're from the Hidden Stone Village," Ophis confirmed.
When it came to sensing, Ophis was an expert. Never underestimate the sensory abilities of a tailed beast.
Ophis's sensing abilities far surpassed Xin's.
Hidden Stone Village ninja, huh?
Xin narrowed his eyes and signaled Minato, and Nawaki to move with him, circling around to the side.
These guys are sneaky!
The Stone Village ninja had used Earth Style Jutsu to hollow out a space underground to hide in.
To prevent anyone from sneaking up behind them, they'd even set up a number of hidden traps.
If they hadn't known in advance that the enemy was lying in wait, they might've walked right into a trap.
But just because you're hiding underground doesn't mean you're safe.
You Stone Village ninja aren't the only ones who can use Earth Style Jutsu.
"Lock the door and unleash Nawaki!"
After clearing the surrounding traps, Xin motioned for Minato, and Nawaki to join him.
The two moved cautiously, and Nawaki whispered, "Xin, where are they hiding?"
Xin put an arm around Nawaki's shoulders and pointed to a slightly raised area outside the forest.
"See that spot? They're right under there. If they like hiding underground so much, let's help them stay there."
"This is my specialty!" Nawaki grinned, sneaking closer and quickly forming hand signs.
"Earth Style: Crumbling Earth Core!"
Rumble rumble!
The ground began to quake, and before the Stone Village ninja hiding below even knew what was happening, rocks started collapsing around them, burying them alive.
