Natsume and the other three carefully circled around the main base of Kumogakure.
They didn't find anything unusual.
It was normal to return empty-handed.
If it were that easy to find something, it would seem too fake.
If it were just Tsunade alone, she would probably try to sneak in at this time.
But now with the help of Team Shisui, she didn't have to do it herself and just needed to wait.
"So soon?"
Shizune was a bit surprised to see the four members of Team Shisui return.
After all, they were going in to capture a person, and one slight mistake could get them discovered.
She could only attribute it to good luck.
But Natsume knew it wasn't luck but strength.
The normal activation of the Mangekyo Sharingan made no sound.
If you didn't look directly into the eyes, you probably wouldn't even notice the difference.
It was a piece of cake to deceive Anko Mitarashi and Yugao Uzuki.
"It seems the situation is a bit grim."
Tsunade noticed Shisui Uchiha's solemn expression. When he got closer, she asked, "What information did you get?"
"It's a water attack."
Shisui Uchiha pointed to the distant river embankment and said, "They're planning to release water to flood the downstream regions."
"Ah?"
Tsunade instinctively looked at Natsume.
"This is just the first step."
Shisui Uchiha took a deep breath and said, "The second step is lightning. They seem to have made a device and placed it at the bottom of the river to amplify Lightning Release Chakra, which can electrify all the water in an instant."
Ninjas can walk on water, but they can't defend against lightning.
If the tactic succeeds, it can paralyze many ninjas and thus gain an advantage in the battle.
As for the device, it's not surprising.
In the original story, Kumogakure even created a high-tech Chakra Cannon, which was said to be able to blast the moon.
Making a lightning - amplifying device is not a big problem.
Well, so to speak,
Without prior knowledge, it's possible to fall into the trap.
Ninjas aren't afraid of water.
Even with Lightning Release Ninjutsu, it's difficult to cover such a large area in an instant.
So their guard is not strong.
But now that the plan is known, it's relatively easy to stop it.
One is to destroy the lightning - amplifying device.
Secondly, inform Fugaku Uchiha and the others to evacuate.
But just stopping them is too lenient towards Kumogakure.
"Shizune, Kabuto, and Anko, the three of you go back to the camp immediately and inform Fugaku of the situation."
Tsunade said decisively.
The three she named had relatively average strength.
And Natsume, Itachi Uchiha, and Yugao Uzuki who stayed behind could all perform at the level of Jonin.
"Lady Tsunade, what about you guys?"
Anko Mitarashi cast a resentful look at Yugao Uzuki.
Itachi Uchiha relied on his own talent and the Sharingan, but Yugao Uzuki relied on the Cursed Seal given by Orochimaru.
What made her angry was that Orochimaru didn't give one to her.
She came first, so why did Yugao Uzuki get preferential treatment?
"We'll try to destroy the lightning - amplifying device. If possible, we'll also give Kumogakure a little 'surprise'."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Your mission is equally important. Don't slack off because of this."
"Yes."
With the conversation reaching this point, Anko Mitarashi and the others didn't dare to linger any longer. They turned around and left one after another.
"How does the lightning - amplifying device work exactly?"
After watching them go, Tsunade shifted her gaze back and asked.
"The main control device is in the main base of Kumogakure. It requires nine Lightning Release Jonin to operate it. They channel their Lightning Release Chakra through the laid cables to a device at the bottom of a distant river and then trigger an instant explosion."
Shisui Uchiha knew all this because he had interrogated a Jonin with his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Such a hassle."
Tsunade fell into deep thought.
There were only five of them here. There was no way they could gather nine Lightning Release Jonin.
It was almost impossible to turn the tables and use their plan against them.
Unless they transferred people from Konoha's main base.
But during the process of transferring, Kumogakure would surely notice.
After all, they had to relocate their base.
Moreover, Kumogakure also had many scouts and spies.
Just the sudden transfer of nine Lightning Release Jonin would be very noticeable.
Shisui Uchiha hesitated for a few seconds and decided not to reveal his Mangekyo Sharingan.
With Orochimaru's attack on him as a warning, he couldn't trust Tsunade rashly.
In fact, with the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, it wouldn't be a problem to control a few Jonin.
He could even directly use Kotoamatsukami to modify the subconscious of the Fourth Raikage, thus bringing an unprecedented great victory to Konoha.
"I have a question."
Natsume, who had been listening quietly for a long time, spoke up. "Does this device require nine Lightning Release Jonin, or just the Chakra of nine Jonin?"
"Of course, it's the Chakra of nine Jonin with the Lightning attribute."
Shisui Uchiha answered immediately.
Tsunade's eyes suddenly lit up. She understood what Natsume meant.
If that was the case, with her Yin Seal, she alone could provide the equivalent of the Chakra of nine Jonin.
If all else failed, the First Hokage's necklace would work too.
"Shisui, lead the way."
Tsunade had five attributes: Fire, Lightning, Earth, Water, and Yang.
Although she wasn't very good at it, she could convert her Chakra into the Lightning attribute.
Not many people knew about the Yin Seal.
Shisui Uchiha had never heard of it either, but since Tsunade said so, she must be confident.
He immediately led them to the location of the lightning - amplifying device.
As expected, there were a lot of people patrolling.
It was almost impossible to sneak in quietly.
"Natsume knows Water Release and Earth Release. He can break the river embankment, divert the river to Kumogakure's main base, and then cut off the cables."

Tsunade knew he could use Wood Release, which would be even more useful in a critical situation.
If all else failed, with the First Hokage's necklace, he could use Tree Realm Descension and go all out.
"I'll activate the lightning - amplifying device, but the three of you will have a heavy task. You need to withstand the attacks of the Fourth Raikage and the others."
As Tsunade said this, she already thought it was unlikely.
There were hundreds of Ninjas in this main base, including quite a few Jonin.
There were only three of them. It would be difficult to hold out for even a short period.
"Wait a minute! Have you learned the Summoning Jutsu?"
Suddenly, Tsunade remembered there were two disciples of Orochimaru standing in front of her.
With Katsuyu and two snakes, these three huge creatures could definitely defend the place.
"Got it."
Itachi Uchiha and Yugao Uzuki nodded simultaneously.
Actually, Orochimaru wouldn't hold back his skills.
In the original story, he also taught Sasuke Uchiha wholeheartedly.
Because the stronger they were, the more beneficial it was for Orochimaru.
"It seems we're going to make a great contribution this time. If we succeed, the old man will surely give us extra rewards."
Tsunade smiled. In fact, she didn't care, but others were different.
Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, who believed in the Will of Fire, naturally wouldn't miss an opportunity to please Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Yugao Uzuki was more straightforward. She wanted to become stronger.
Besides rewards, there was also fame.
Fame, as an intangible asset, was also quite useful.
For example, what Tsunade was doing was bringing her closer to becoming the Fifth Hokage.
Maybe even earlier than in the original story.
Natsume's small goal of becoming the Hokage was surely about to be achieved.
Great.
In ancient times, there was Guan Yu who flooded the seven armies. Today, there's me, Natsume, flooding the Cloud Ninja.
Think about it, we both like to read the *Spring and Autumn Annals*.
