The ninjas in the Patrol camp were very respectful towards Hiruzen, Homura and Choza. Since Fujin was with them, he received the same treatment. They immediately made the best arrangements for everyone.

While eating dinner, Fujin thought, 'The normal food tastes kinda bland after enjoying two exquisite feasts. Oh well, at least it's much better than my cooking.'

Like Fujin, everyone ate dinner. Hiruzen even praised the cook and told some stories over the dinner to reignite the Will of Fire in everyone. Finally, the group went to sleep in the small camp. The ninjas in the Patrol camp guarded the camp with a lot of enthusiasm. After all, their beloved Hokage was resting in it.

At the same time, a dozen kilometers away, 6 ninjas were hiding in the forest. They were surrounded by thick forest cover as they sat around a map that was laid on the floor.

One of the ninjas asked authoritatively, "Are you sure that the intel is accurate, Naomasa?"

Naomasa replied, "Yes, Hideyoshi-sama. According to our intel, Konoha has established a new Patrol Camp here."

Hideyoshi took another long look at the map. After a couple of minutes, he said, "Good. Let's move closer. We will destroy the camp before continuing our journey."

His words shocked the group. One ninja immediately said, "But Hideyoshi-sama, our target isn't this camp. Why don't we just go around the camp and avoid it? It would be troublesome if Konoha begins hunting us."

Hideyoshi looked at that ninja and asked, "Kaname, are you the leader, or am I?"

Kaname immediately became nervous and said, "It's you. I am just worried that if they have any Hyuga or sensor, then we will be sensed and our mission will have to be abandoned."

Hideyoshi scoffed and replied, "You don't need to be worried about it. With me here, they won't have any opportunity to report us. Besides, I doubt a random patrol outpost will have a better sensor than Naomasa."

Kaname sighed secretly as he thought, 'Getting promoted to Elite Jounin has inflated his ego even more. Though Konoha is not as strong as it used to be, they still have many existences that can decimate us with ease. Especially since their Sannins randomly roam throughout the country. But he is right, we should be alright. Naomasa is a very capable sensor.'

Hideyoshi instructed, "Naomasa, lead the way. Lead the way and sense them when you are in range."

Naomasa nodded. The group of six moved quickly through the dense forest until they were around 2.5 km from the Patrol camp. Naomasa made a hand seal and activated his chakra field. Immediately, a chakra field with a 3 km radius spread around him.

As the chakra field engulfed the Patrol camp, 4 sets of eyes opened instantly. Fujin got up and wondered, 'Are any other Konoha ninjas passing through?'

He didn't activate his own chakra field. Hiruzen, Homura and Choza also got up. The Anbu Guards were already up. As for the ninjas stationed at the camp, they didn't notice the chakra field.

Naomasa sensed everyone and frowned. He said, "Hideyoshi-sama, the camp has 9 ninjas. 4 are Genins, 3 are Chunins and 2 are Jounins. I believe there are 2 civilians as well."

His fellow ninjas were confused. Kaname asked, "Why does such an insignificant post have 2 Jounin ninjas?"

Hideyoshi thought for a bit and said, "It looks like Konoha is hiding something here. Or perhaps the Jounins are escorting 2 important civilians. Regardless, this could be more important than our mission."

He looked at Kaname and instructed, "Kaname, you will engage one Jounin while I will kill the other. The rest of you kill the chunins and genins and aid Kaname. Keep the Civilians alive. I want to interrogate them."

Everyone nodded. Not a single person had any fear on their face. After all, Hideyoshi was an Elite Jounin. And all the other 5 ninjas were Jounins! However, if they knew that the two civilians that Naomasa sensed consisted of an Elder of Konoha and the Hokage, they would have turned tail and ran until their legs couldn't carry them any further.

Fujin and Choza left their rooms and appeared in the open. They had both suppressed their chakra to Jounin levels. They were the ones Naomasa detected. As for the Anbu, they had completely hidden their presence. So Naomasa couldn't sense them.

Fujin's eyes glowed as he observed the surroundings. Surprisingly, he didn't see anyone. He said, "Looks like the Sensor is a bit capable. I can't see anyone in a radius of 750 meters."

Choza replied, "We have many sensor ninjas who can sense for over a kilometer. Especially in the Yamanaka clan. Let's wait for them to approach."

Fujin nodded. The four Anbu guards stayed behind to protect the camp while Hiruzen and Homura didn't show up outside.

In a minute, 6 figures appeared in Fujin's eyes. A look of surprise appeared on Fujin's face. Choza asked, "Who did you see?"

Fujin replied, "I don't recognize their chakra signature. But one has chakra high enough to be considered as an Elite Jounin and the remaining five have Jounin levels of chakra. But, I have remembered the chakra signatures of all Elite Jounins in Konoha. Did someone get promoted recently in secret?"

Choza got ready for combat and grabbed his Bo and replied loudly, "Not that I am aware of. I'll take on the Elite Jounin. You cooperate with the Anbu to take care of the rest. Others, move back inside the camp."

The ninjas from the camp were surprised to hear that. They didn't know what was happening but obeyed Choza. Choza's words were loud enough to be heard by the four Anbu. They immediately disappeared and hid themselves.

Naomasa sensed the movements and said, "The Chunins and the Genins have moved inside the camp. Only the two Jounins are waiting outside. I guess they noticed my chakra field. But they shouldn't be aware of who we are."

Hideyoshi said, "It's fine. It doesn't matter if they know or not. They will die very soon."

In a flash, they appeared in front of the camp. Fujin and Choza frowned. The ninjas were wearing Konoha headbands but they didn't recognize any of them. At the same time, the expressions of the 6 ninjas also became grim as they realized, 'It isn't just a Jounin. It's Akimichi Choza! An Elite Jounin and a rather famous one.'

Choza said loudly, "Identify yourselves."

Hideyoshi knew that he wouldn't be a match for Choza one on one. He instructed softly, "Change in plans. I'll keep Akimichi Choza occupied. You 5 kill that kid and then help me."

A smile formed on Fujin's face and a sword appeared in his hand as he heard his words. He thought, 'If there was a ranking based on luck, these 6 would definitely rank the lowest.'

A similar thought ran through the minds of every Konoha ninja. Of all places, they attacked the camp where their Hokage was resting despite having so few members.

Hiruzen observed the situation from his room and wondered, 'Who are these guys? Seeing their numbers, they shouldn't be here to assassinate me. But since when did the Land of Fire have such powerful rogue ninjas who impersonate Konoha ninjas?'

At the same time, his eyes moved towards Fujin as he thought, 'Though I have read all his battle reports, I have never seen him fight. This would be a good opportunity to see him fight.'

At the same time, Homura also watched Fujin. He was curious as to why Hiruzen was so interested in grooming him.

The six ninjas jumped towards Fujin and Choza at the same time. Choza gripped his Bo staff tightly as he took his fighting posture. At the same time, he unleashed his chakra. Their attention was immediately glued to Choza. Hideyoshi gritted his teeth. He cursed, 'His chakra is almost twice that of mine! But we have the advantage of numbers.'

Unfortunately, Fujin took advantage of the momentary lap in concentration. He immediately disappeared.

Naomasa's eyes widened. He immediately grabbed his kunai and swung it in front of him and shouted, "Be careful!"

His shout attracted everyone's attention. They noticed a sword appearing in front of Naomasa. The kunai and the sword clashed. However, instead of hearing the clash, they saw the sword cut through the kunai as if it was hot butter.

Naomasa's eyes widened. He didn't have any time to move. He could only see as the sword cut his head off.

Except for Hideyoshi, the remaining ninjas immediately attacked Fujin. However, he continued with the momentum and moved a long distance away in the same direction. None of them could hit him.

Soon, a thud was heard. Naomasa's body fell on the ground and subsequently dragged along the ground due to his momentum. His head fell some distance away. At the same time, the transformation jutsu was dispelled and his real appearance could be seen. Hiruzen squinted his eyes on seeing the real face.

But the ninjas had no time to watch their fallen comrade. They looked at the ninja who they had thought to be an easy target. Disbelief could be seen in their eyes as they thought, 'Naomasa was a veteran jounin! He wasn't a weak Jounin like those from smaller villages. And he was one of the best sensors we had. How was he killed off so easily?'

However, they had no time to grieve for him. After landing on a tree, Fujin flickered back towards them. Choza engaged Hideyoshi and ensured that he couldn't move towards Fujin.

Seeing Fujin, one of the ninjas opened his mouth and shot out 6 Air Bullets at Fujin.

Fujin's eyes widened and he immediately jumped up in the air as he thought, 'Sealless jutsu? These guys are no pushovers. Luckily I caught the sensor off guard. It would have been troublesome if he ran away and hid his chakra signature.'

The remaining ninjas immediately began weaving hand signs while one threw shurikens at Fujin. However, they suddenly felt danger. 2 ninjas quickly moved away. However, the one who just shot out air bullets and the ninja who threw the shurikens couldn't react quickly. Two swords pierced through both their bodies.

Hideyoshi watched the scene through the corner of his eyes and was horrified. He attacked Choza fiercely while screaming in anger, "Why does this small post have a clan leader and four Anbu ninjas?"
