Chapter 71
Jiraya didn’t expect that Sakumo would agree with such a “crazy” plan . He and Ryo were willing to sneak into the Sand’s camp and assassinate their Sensor Ninjas!
“I don’t agree with this plan . You are the Commander in charge of the Wind Country battlefront . Leave this to me . ”
“Jiraya, you don’t trust my strength? Besides, I’m going in with Ryo . His Ice teleportation is becoming comparable to Minato’s Flying Thunder God in many respects, and you’ve just seen his camouflage technique . If we’re careful, we’ll be fine even if we fail . ”
Sakumo’s words were obvious; he was indeed going this time, and Jiraya could only nod .
After the three agreed, Sakumo learned the Chakra Hiding secret technique from Ryo, and spent another day practicing it .
On the third night, Sakumo and Ryo started their operation . They planned to sneak into the Sand camp under the cover of night .
The two were still in Sakumo’s tent when they hid their Chakra . Only the three of them should know about this operation, so they had to hide it even from their own Sensor Ninjas .
At night, Konoha’s camp is patrolled mainly by the Aburame’s insects, and those don’t detect the two . If the Hyuga Ninjas doesn’t receive a signal from the Aburame clan, they usually rest their Byakugans at night . So the two opened the barrier and left .
The Sand camp wasn’t too far off of Konoha’s . There was a small piece of desert between the two . It didn’t take them long to get near the enemy .
“Sakumo san, hold on . ” Ryo stopped the sprinting Sakumo from advancing .
“What’s the matter Ryo?” Sakumo looked strangely at Ryo .
“We should wait some more before we take action . Most people sleep the heaviest between 2 and 3 in the morning . Even Ninjas should be relatively less alert at that time . ”
Sakumo looked up at the location of the moon in the sky and agreed with Ryo’s proposal .
At 1 am, the two began their operation . Sakumo looked for a weak spot in the Sand boundary around the camp, and then easily destroyed it .
The two entered the Sand camp from that gap, and Ryo placed an Ice Scalpel placed ice scalpel behind before doing so .
Once they were in the Camp, the two used the shadows of tents to hide themselves .
With the infiltration being successful, Ryo started looking for the Ninjas with more spiritual power than that of other people .
Unlike Konoha, the Sand didn’t have families that specialize in Sensor Ninjutsu . People with outstanding spiritual power were scattered among clans . Sakumo needed Ryo to identify and locate Sensor Ninja, so the two could only act together .
They infiltrated the camp from its left-most side . Ryo used his Clan’s Telepathy to communicate with his leader, and the two started scanning the whole camp from left to right .

A Ninja is already much more vigilant than an average person . In particular, sensor ninjas have much more spiritual power . Therefore, they use that to perceive the world much more clearly .
But Sakumo and Ryo used the Sand Spy’s technique to hide their Chakra . The sensor Ninja’s throats were being cut one after anotherwith Ryo’s Charka Scalpel .
As for Sakumo, he didn’t use his usual Chakra infused blade, as that would emit white light . The target was just assassination, and he wasn’t in battle .
Sakumo used an ordinary knife and harvested the enemies’ lives under Ryo’s guidance .
“Sakumo san, don’t go near that tent . I sense a lot of Chakra there, despite the fact that the whole tent has only one person inside . It should be Shukaku’s Jinchuriki . ”
Sakumo was approaching that tent as he heard Ryo . So he just skipped it .
After that, it didn’t take them much longer to eliminate all the sleeping Sensor Ninjas across the camp .
“Sakumo san, what’s left now are the ones on patrol . We’ve already killed 62 Sensor Ninjas, and now we’re left with 31 who are awake . ”
“Ryo, how many people are patrolling the camp?”

“About 300 . Like our camp, most of them are Sensor Ninjas and from the Barrier squad, with some Jonins to protect them . ” Many of the Ninjas that Ryo has detected were watching the barrier . So he presumed that they were of the same class as those of Konoha .
“We should kill them all . Now we should act as fast as possible without ever being detected . ”
After Ryo cut the communication, the two proceeded to action . The 300 patrol squads, mostly composed of Barrier and Sensor Ninjas, pose no problem for the White Fang Hatake Sakumo .
His method was simple and brutal . He’d rush in on them and retreat, killing them stealthily and quickly one at a time, and before they know it, a whole team would be dead .
Ryo didn’t change his methods . However, he replaced the Thunder Chakra Mode blink with the use of his Ice Scalpel . He went in, located his targets, and placed his Ice Scalpels in advances .
With over a dozen of them placed in strategic place, Ryo teleported back and forth between them, killing his targets . In the blink of an eye, a whole other team was executed .
In under an hour, all the Sensor Ninjas in the Sand camp were taken care of by The White Fang and Ryo .
“Sakumo san, now that we’ve finished our mission, you leave ahead of me . I have something that I need to deal with . ”
“No, the task has been completed, immediately retreat!”

“Sakumo san, I placed an Ice scalpel where we broke in . You go first; I’ll follow you in 5 minutes . ”
Sakumo knew of that Ice scalpel, so he was reassured and gave Ryo permission to stay that long .
After he left, Ryo took out his headband and put it into a Sensor Ninja’s hand, then melted all the Ice Scalpels in the camp .
Ryo’s purpose was to create doubts and give the Sand what seems to be a fake clue, affecting the Kazekage’s judgment . As long as there’s no action detected in Konoha’s camp, the Sand shouldn’t have them as their primary object of suspicion .
After being through with that, he ran to a place within 50 meters of Ice Scalpel on the left side of the camp; then he teleported there and rejoined Sakumo .
The two turned around and left, going straight towards Konoha’s camp . On the way Ryo explained what he just did to Sakumo . This way, He made sure that Sakumo won’t get the camp to do anything unusual in the three following days .
In Konoha’s camp, Jiraya was still in Sakumo’s tent waiting for the two to come . As time went by, he became more and more irritated .
“I hope Sakumo san and the Kid are okay . The enemy’s camp is close; they should be here by now!”
“Of course we’re okay!” Ryo’s sudden appearance jump scared Jiraya, who finally was relieved when he saw Sakumo following Ryo slowly into the tent .
