Land of Hot Springs.
Uchiha Hachidai and his group covertly moved out.
Yamanaka Yuichi was responsible for coordinating the three-man operation.
Yamanaka Shimi used his Parasitic Worms to dig a tunnel leading all the way to the edge of the canyon cliff.
Next, he controlled the Parasitic Worms to fly across the canyon like ants moving a house, lying in wait on the other side.
Hinata Iruha used his Byakugan to monitor the opposite side of the canyon.
Uchiha Hachidai, meanwhile, patrolled various areas in disguise.
Time passed bit by bit.
Suddenly, Uchiha Hachidai felt a faint sensation of being watched; he remained calm and continued his patrol.
Hinata Iruha's voice also echoed in his mind:
"A Chakra signature is slowly approaching!"
"300 meters from Shimi's Parasitic Worms' ambush point."
Uchiha Hachidai hurriedly said, "Shimi, don't act yet. We're not sure if it's Onigumo."
"I understand!"
"He is moving toward the ambush site," Hinata Iruha continued the real-time report.
"200 meters from the ambush point."
"100 meters."
The figure moved outward, stepping out of the forest.
A small moving dot appeared in everyone's sight.
At this distance, even Uchiha Hachidai, who was pretending to patrol at the cliff's edge, could see him if he looked closely, though not clearly.
"He spat a bow and a Chakra Arrow out of his mouth."
It's definitely him!
Onigumo has taken the bait!
Seeing the plan proceeding as intended, everyone relaxed slightly.
"He's still approaching, 80 meters."
"50... 30..."
"Oh no, he seems to have noticed something; he's stopped." Hinata Iruha's voice grew anxious.
"It doesn't matter anymore," Yamanaka Shimi's voice rang out. "This distance is enough."
His hands, hidden under his wide sleeves, continuously issued various commands to the Parasitic Worms.
Across the canyon.
Onigumo crawled forward cautiously.
Suddenly, a flash of trepidation crossed his mind, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.
The next moment!
A massive swarm of Parasitic Worms rose from the ground all around him.
They pounced toward him in a dark, dense mass.
Onigumo was scared out of his wits; he hurriedly turned and fled desperately back the way he came.
Someone from Kumogakure had told him that Konoha couldn't hold out anymore.
They had started sending Genin out to patrol again, and he had thought about getting some revenge on his old employer while earning some bounty money on the side.
As it turned out, the other side was well-prepared.
He might actually lose his life here today.
He ran at top speed.
But the distance was too short; the 30 meters were covered in an instant, and the Parasitic Worms formed a black curtain that blotted out the sky.
Once it enveloped Onigumo, it would suck him dry.
Suddenly!
Hinata Iruha's voice rang out again, very urgently.
"Shimi, act fast! There's another powerful Chakra approaching near Onigumo."
Just as he finished speaking, a flash of lightning appeared out of thin air and streaked across.
