After a simple order to set off, the ninjas began to march rapidly. They ran on the wide road outside Muye. Although there were more than 70 people in the team, there was no other sound other than the sound of footsteps.
Ninjas were like this. When they were on a mission, they rarely spoke nonsense. In such a long distance, talking would only accelerate the loss of physical strength.
However, Orochimaru slowed down a little as he ran and came to Moonlight Chiba's side. It was obvious that he had a question to ask.
Moonlight Chiba secretly rolled his eyes. He didn't want to get too close to Orochimaru, but he didn't expect this guy to be so close to him. It really gave him a headache.
"Lord Qian Ye, you should know what the mission this time is. I want to ask if there is any more information.”Orochimaru said as he ran.
He understood Tsunete too well. When it came to the people around him, he would often overlook some details. In comparison, Moonlight Chiba's performance had already made him label her as an intelligent person.
" The enemy should have around 150 people. Kirin Village is divided into three groups and is close to the Vortex Country. The group we encountered happened to get separated in the storm, which proves that even if the enemy's main force isn't scattered, there is a certain distance between them. In addition, it is an alliance between the two villages. It will probably take some time for them to gather.”
Moonlight Chiba pondered for a moment, then combined it with the information provided by Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon. He slowly opened his mouth and said some of the things he had guessed. After all, they were now standing on the same side. Orochimaru knew more and could make more reasonable arrangements.
"Anything else?" Orochimaru digested the information and nodded slightly. The information was reasonable and made him sigh in his heart. Finding Moonlight Chiba was indeed the right choice.
" Other than the forehead protector, there's nothing else to prove his identity. The forehead protector is probably worn to avoid unnecessary trouble before approaching the Whirlpool Country. This proves that the other party doesn't want to start a war. The mission duration is one year, and I don't think the other party is prepared to attack openly. One last thing, Tsunei just told me that although the leader of the Whirlpool Race is old, he was a Shadow Grade when he was young? If the other party wants to destroy the Vortex Country…"
Moonlight Chiba spoke again. This time, the information he gave caused Orochimaru to frown. This information contained too much information.
First of all, if the other party's forehead guard was really like what Moonlight Chiba had said and was only worn on the road, then once they reached the Vortex Country, the enemy would be in the dark while they were in the light. This battle would not be easy to fight, and it was very likely that they would not be able to find many enemies.
Secondly, the duration of the mission was one year, which proved that this was likely to be a tug-of-war. There was a high chance that they would have to face sneak attacks at all times.
Lastly, although the Whirlpool Clan's patriarch was old, he was a Shadow Grade powerhouse. This information was probably only known to Okami, the third generation Hokage, and the Whirlpool Mito. It was completely unknown whether the enemy knew about it.
If the enemy knew about this as well, then the strongest enemy they would be facing this time would not be an elite Jounin but a true Shadow Grade powerhouse!
"Thank you, Lord Qian Ye." Orochimaru said courteously. He moved his feet and quickened his pace. After catching up with Okami, he began to confirm the accuracy of the information and more information about the Whirlpool Race.
Mu Ye had already sent a message to the Whirlpool Race using the Ninja Beast Falcon. Based on the falcon's speed, the Whirlpool Race would receive the message by this afternoon at the latest.
If they rushed over as fast as they could, they should only reach the Swirl Clan's encampment at noon tomorrow. If Moonlight Chiba's guess was correct, they would definitely make it in time.
"A Shadow Grade powerhouse, f * cking hell, why didn't I think of this before?”Moonlight Thousand Leaves sighed inwardly. He looked up at the slightly dim sky and began to travel.
Although he sounded like he was guessing what Orochimaru was saying, he was very sure that there would definitely be a Shadow Grade powerhouse this time!
Because in the original novel, the Swirl Clan was indeed exterminated, and only a few people survived!
A Shadow Grade powerhouse, no matter how weak or old he was, he was still a Shadow Grade powerhouse. Thinking back to the Rebellion of Nine Tails, Yuan Fei and Sun Slash were already fifty-seven or fifty-eight years old, yet he could still beat Nine Tails with a club and forcefully chase him out of the Woodleaf Village's boundaries.
At the age of 69, he could still stand up and fight against Orochimaru, who had the strength of a Shadow Rank, while fighting with the first and second generation, who were not in their full state. He fought until his stamina could not hold on.
One had to know that a ninja's chakra was produced by combining spiritual energy and physical energy. Once one was over thirty-five years old, even if they had expensive medicinal herbs to maintain their strength, their strength would decrease more and more.
No one could say for sure how strong the peak Shadow Grade Flying Ape Sun Slash would be. One could see the whole picture from a glimpse. As the old clan leader of the Whirlpool Clan, who was also a Shadow Grade, no matter how weak he was, he was not someone an elite Jounin could defeat.
Moreover, the Whirlpool Race was famous for their chakras. That chakra was like a human-shaped tail beast. The leader of the Whirlpool Race still retained some of his strength. It was really hard to say.
"Xun Yi, if we really encounter danger, I'll take the rear. You wait for me at Muye.”Moonlight Chiba was still worried about Kaede, so she spoke to her.
A battlefield with a Shadow Grade powerhouse and a battlefield without one were two completely different concepts. Facing an Elite Jounin, Moonlight Chiba was confident that even if the other party knew his moves and tricks, he would still have the ability to escape.
However, he did not even have the confidence to escape when facing a Shadow Level. The reason why he was able to kill Jounin and even Elite Jounin so easily was because of his incredible speed and the strangeness of the Light Fruit's ability.
However, a Shadow Grade powerhouse had exceeded the upper limit of what he could deal with. Even if the other party knew nothing about him, if he encountered him, he would still be in danger.
"I don't want to." For the first time, Aroma refused Moonlight Chiba's suggestion. She was stubborn. She was not stupid. She knew what would happen to the person behind her if she encountered an irresistible danger. She would rather be the one behind her than live alone.
"Be good, listen to me. I've recently developed a life-saving technique that can use light to instantly leave the battlefield. However, the price is that you can't even think about using the chakra for a month.”
Moonlight Chiba made up a white lie. It was not easy to explain the ability of the dead doll, but it was easier to believe it this way.
"Really?" Xun Yi's face was filled with suspicion as she stared at Moonlight Chiba's eyes without blinking.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Moonlight Chiba smiled and flicked her forehead lightly.
