"What? Xuan Zang hasn't come back yet!"
Jingyin stood at the door of Genzang's tent with a disappointed expression. Uchiha Sen was standing in front of her.
"Alright then. By the way, Miss Tsunete has called all the persons-in-charge to a meeting. She has something to say.”
Silent Voice quickly composed herself and said to Uchihamori.
"Oh? Is that so? I understand. I'll inform Lord Tianming in a while, so you don't have to run again.”
Uchihamori smiled. He could tell that Silent came here not to send a notice, but to see someone.
"Then I'll go back and report to Lord Okate first!”
Jing Yin bowed slightly and turned to leave. Her footsteps were not as cheerful as when she came.
"How interesting. It's as if I'm seeing myself from a few years ago!”
Uchihamori held his chin and crossed his arms as he smiled at Jingyin's back.
"I don't know why Master Tsunete is in such a hurry to have a meeting.”
Uchiha Sen also turned around and walked slowly towards Uchiha Tenmei's tent. At this time, Tenmei must still be in the tent to gather information about the Uchiha Ninjas.
……
"Captain, that seems to be the ninja team of the oil girl clan!”
Uchiha Yan extended his hand to signal to Genzou. To the west of his team, there was a team of Kogoba slowly advancing.
"Yes, I saw it."
Xuan Zang nodded.
"Sou!"
In the blink of an eye, the ninja team of the oil girl clan arrived in front of Xuan Zang and the others. Xuan Zang found that the leader was still an acquaintance.
"Long time no see, Xuan Zang!"
Zhiwei stopped a few meters in front of Xuan Zang and the others.
"Long time no see, Oil Girl Zhiwei. Where did you guys come from?"
Xuan Zang subconsciously touched the ninjato at his waist and asked the slightly grim-faced oil girl, Shiwei.
"Oh, we just encountered the Hidden Fog team, but they were killed by us.”
The oil girl pushed the sunglasses on the tip of her nose. Although the two ninjas behind her were also wearing sunglasses, the sensitive Xuan Zang could feel that their gazes had been on her, and they seemed to be very curious.
"Oh, then you guys go back and rest first. We'll continue patrolling.”
Xuan Zang waved his hand. They had a mission this time, so they couldn't waste time chatting.
"Alright!"
Several people passed by.
"The border is just ahead. Be careful.”
The border with the Bear Country was very long. The main battles were concentrated on the side near the sea, but there were always small-scale battles in other places. It was nothing more than the two sides infiltrating each other and encountering enemies.
The mission of the Xuan Zang Team today was to patrol an area. A few days ago, they were still in charge of attacking the main battlefield, and today they were here.
This was all thanks to Tsunake's distribution mechanism. After a few days of intense fighting, they would get a relatively relaxed patrol mission.
Of course, the prerequisite for this was that they did not encounter any enemies during the patrol.
"Sou!"
Moving through the branches, Xuan Zang and the others didn't say a word as they headed for the mission location.
After advancing for a while, Xuan Zang heard some sounds. The chakra in his perception was also very unfamiliar. It did not seem like a leaf ninja.
"Stop!"
Xuan Zang raised his left hand and passed down his order. The three-man team instantly landed on the branch and remained vigilant.
"There's movement ahead!"
When the two people beside him stopped beside him, Xuan Zang said.
"Prepare for battle!"
Xuan Zang was direct and straightforward.
"Sou!"
Confidence came from strength. Xuan Zang's calf flowed with a trace of electric current, and his figure directly leaped forward.
"Swoosh!"
Once again, he passed through the cover of a leaf and saw the two sides fighting. Fog had three ninjas, while Muye only had one ninja struggling to hold on. It seemed that he could not hold on any longer.
With a stomp of his foot, Xuan Zang's speed suddenly increased, and he instantly joined the battle!
"Swoosh!"
He slashed out with his saber, and the power of lightning instantly arrived!
"Ah!"
Before the enemy could react, Xuan Zang slashed his throat and blood spurted out.
" What?!"
The other two instantly gave up on attacking and distanced themselves from Xuan Zang.
"Muye Emissary of the Lightning Knife?"
One of them recognized Xuan Zang, who had been dominating the battlefield recently, and couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
When the other Kirishi Ninja heard his companion call out Xuan Zang's name, his eyes narrowed and his body stiffened.
These Genzang were like peerless warriors on the battlefield. They looked at everyone they saw. Fog was beaten to a pulp. Fortunately, there were a few people from the Ninjato Seven who were supervising the battle on Fog's side, so they could fight Genzang. Even so, in a battle not long ago, Genzang had severely injured Ghost Lantern Full Moon, who was a reserve member of the Seven. If not for the help of Kurisan Chuanwan and Wuli Jinba, Genzang would have killed him on that day.
In order to save Ghost Lantern Full Moon, the other two ninjas were injured by Genzang again. However, Genzang was also hit by Kurisan Chuanmaru's weapon, causing a penetrating wound in his abdomen.
Xuan Zang slowly approached the remaining two Kirin. His footsteps were light, and the lightning on his saber sizzled.
"Uchiha Xuanzang?"
The ninja also recognized Xuan Zang and heaved a sigh of relief. With Xuan Zang, he felt that he had escaped this time, but…
Thinking of this, the Ninja looked at his companions lying around him, and his eyes darkened.
"Yes! Leave the rest to me!"
Xuan Zang quickened his pace and headed toward the enemy.
"Fight it out, or we'll all die!"
The ninja who was the first to recognize Xuan Zang called out to his companion. He gripped the weapon in his hand tightly and stared at Xuan Zang.
"Yes!"
A few drops of sweat appeared on his companion's forehead. He knew that the two of them could not escape, so they could only fight.
"Go!"
Seeing Xuan Zang getting closer and closer, the ninja shouted and prepared to attack.
His companion immediately rushed out, biting his lips tightly as if he was going all out.
"Swoosh!"
The moment his companion took the first step forward, the Kirishi who had suggested going all-out ran back with large strides. The chakras on his body erupted, and his speed reached its peak.
"Haha!"
Xuan Zang looked at the enemy's performance and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Swoosh!"
With a stomp of his foot, Xuan Zang left a small pit on the spot and instantly activated the Instant Body Technique.
"You…"
Seeing that his companion had betrayed him in the blink of an eye and that he was running away, Kirishi, who was rushing towards Xuan Zang, was so angry that he could not speak.
"What?!"
When the fleeing Kirin saw that Xuan Zang had caught up to him in an instant, his eyes revealed a trace of despair. Then, he was wrapped by the blue and white blade.
"Plop!"
As his head fell to the ground, Xuan Zang turned his gaze to the last remaining Kirishi Ninja.
"You…don't…"
"Swoosh!"
Too lazy to listen to the enemy's chatter, Xuan Zang slashed again, ending his life.
"Captain!"
The Uchiha brothers arrived late again.
"Are you alright?"
Uchiha Huo walked up to the Koba Ninja and looked at his left arm that was hanging down. Blood was dripping down his arm.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!"
The ninja wiped the sweat off his face and slowly raised his injured arm a little to observe.
"Whoosh!"
After dealing with the enemy, Xuan Zang walked over and slowly put the ninjato back on his waist.
"Your companion isn't dead, hurry back to the camp, there should still be someone to save him!”
Xuan Zang looked at a Koba Ninja lying on the ground and reminded him. Xuan Zang could feel that although the ninja had a penetrating wound on the left side of his chest, his heart was not there.
However, the two ninjas on the other side were truly dead.
"What? Is that so?"
The Leaf Ninja raised his head in surprise. He then ran to the Ninja that Xuan Zang had pointed at. Xuan Zang followed him.
He touched the ninja's artery with his hand and a hint of happiness appeared on his face.
"Excuse me, I know a little medical ninjutsu. I can treat him first.”
Xuan Zang squatted beside the injured ninja and gestured for him to move away. He then laid the unconscious ninja on the ground.
"Oh, oh!"
He hurriedly followed Xuan Zang's instructions.
"Hiss!"
As soon as Xuan Zang placed his hand on the unconscious ninja's chest, he made a sound. However, Xuan Zang did not stop his actions and continued to attack chakras. The green halo in his hand also grew larger and completely covered the wound.
After maintaining this position for a few minutes, Xuan Zang put away the chakra and the unconscious ninja regained consciousness.
"And you are?"
The voice was very weak. The ninja looked at Xuan Zang in confusion.
"Zhigang, it's me!"
When the ninja saw that the unconscious ninja had woken up, he instantly came up to him.
"Zhixing?"
Zhi Gang narrowed his eyes and looked at the person who came in front of him. It seemed that it was difficult for him to open his eyes, so he could not see very clearly.
"This is Uchiha Genzo. He saved us just now.”
He grabbed the hand of the ninja named Zhigang with one hand. He sounded a little excited. He didn't expect his brother to be saved. This was great.
"Cut the crap. Let's go back to the camp first. I've only temporarily slowed down my injuries, but his injuries are a little serious.”
Xuan Zang stood up and looked at Shiko, who was about to continue.
"Oh, I'll bring him back immediately."
As he spoke, he prepared to pick up his brother with one hand.
"Hiss!"
As soon as he exerted force, his mouth began to open. The injuries on his body began to act up, and the blood on his arm flowed even faster.
"Huo, come over and carry him. The wound on my chest has basically stopped bleeding.”
Xuan Zang waved his hand and called for Uchiha Fire.
"You guys pack up and go back first. Yan, you go back too. Be careful on the road. I alone will be enough for the rest of the journey.”
Xuan Zang continued to walk forward. Even if he was alone, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Alright, Captain!"
Uchiha Yan nodded. They had absolute confidence in Xuan Zang's strength. This was not a direct battlefield. If they were careful, they would not encounter an enemy ambush, especially since their mission this time was only to patrol the border of the Fire Country and would not step into the enemy's territory.
"Yes!"
Xuan Zang jumped up the tree and landed on a branch. After a few jumps, he disappeared into the forest.
……
"Lord Okami!"
Uchiha Tenmei nodded at Tsunake, who was sitting at the main seat.
"Yes! Let's sit for a while. Everyone hasn't arrived yet.”
"Yes, sir!"
This was the conference tent. Most of the people in charge had already arrived, but there were still a few who did not arrive in time for various reasons.
As soon as he sat down, Uchiha Tenmei felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He looked across and saw a pair of white eyes staring at him.
"Haha!"
Uchiha Tenmei didn't care at all. Because of Uchiha Genzou's existence, the sharpness of the younger generation of ninjas of the Hinata Clan was completely concealed. Even Shield Hinata of his clan was convinced by Genzou. However, Shinichi, who insisted on not losing to him, still disliked his old enemy, Uchiha Tenmei.
"Humph!"
Hinata read the smile in Uchiha's eyes and turned his head away.
"Cough cough!"
Mito Hayato sat at the side and coughed a few times.
"Alright, everyone is almost here. I called everyone here today to inform everyone of a piece of news.”
Okami looked around and picked up the scroll in his hand.
"Everyone knows that the war between Muye and Shayin has been going on for a long time, but it's already over. This is the information I received today from Woodleaf Village. Everyone can circulate it.”
Okami handed the scroll to Hinata and continued.
"In the battle of Campanulata Mountain, Muye obtained the final victory. Now, Muye and Sain have begun to discuss the peace treaty.”
Tsunei's voice was loud and full of energy.
Everyone who heard the news smiled. After taking care of one battlefield, Mu Ye would be able to help the other battlefields. This way, Hidden Fog would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"There's nothing else. You can go down and tell the other ninjas about this news. There have been too many battles recently, and many people are in a bad mood. This news can give them a good shot in the arm.”
Mito Hayato had learned of this news not long after Okami had. His expression did not change much as he wore his presbyopic glasses to observe.
"Meeting dismissed!"
Okami clapped his hands, indicating that he could leave.
The group of people hurriedly got up and left. It was still a time of war, and time was precious. They also needed to tell the ninjas under them this news to calm their anxious hearts.
"Tsunei!"
Okami was about to get up when Mito Hen called out to him.
"What's wrong, consultant?"
Okami looked at him in confusion.
"This old master will return to Muye tomorrow. I'll leave this place to you. Also, I'll urge Muye for reinforcements after we return to the village. You can rest assured.”
Mito Hayato remained serious.
"Okay, thank you, consultant."
Okami nodded. She was indeed in a hurry to provide support.
"Phew, I finally got some good news! Next, I'll go back and slowly wrangle with Shayin. With the support of the people here to stabilize the situation, I can still persist!”
Mito Hayato looked at Tsunete's back and adjusted his glasses.
"Jingyin, go get me something to eat. I'll go back and look at the information first.”
Walking out of the conference tent, Tsunete instructed Jingyin, who was waiting for her at the door, and then walked towards her own tent.
"Alright, Lord Tsunete!"
Jing Yin nodded and walked in another direction.
……
"Sou!"
Xuan Zang shuttled through the forest. Without his teammates to drag him down, his figure quickly swept through the air, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
It didn't take long for Xuan Zang to finish patrolling his area and prepare to return.
"Hmm?"
The growth of his strength made his perception stronger and stronger, and he was not inferior to some professional Perception Ninjas at all.
The moment he turned around, he felt a gaze on him, but when he reacted and was about to look for it, the gaze disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Who is it?"
Xuan Zang frowned. He was sure that he hadn't sensed wrongly. Someone must have been staring at him.
Lightning flashed beneath his feet. Xuan Zang was running back. He frowned at the person who had peeked at him. In the entire Ninja Realm, there were only a few people who had the ability to hide, and there was only one person who would pay attention to this place.
Xuan Zang disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the forest regained its peace.
"Sisi!"
In the middle of a big tree, something that looked like a pitch-pot plant slowly emerged, revealing the " hermaphrodite " inside.
"Lord Ban's perception is really strong!”
A frivolous voice sounded, as if it was sighing.
"Yes, this Uchiha ninja called Genzou has reached a peak in strength. Even we were almost discovered just now!”
A more mature voice sounded.
"I left spores on him just now, so I can monitor his situation in the future. There's no need to run out specially!”
Bai Jue said to Hei Jue. He had only been discovered when he had released the spores. Fortunately, he had successfully placed the spores on Xuan Zang.
"Yes, Ban has noticed this clansman for a long time. This time, he asked us to observe him to understand everything that will happen next.”
Hei Jue said, looking in the direction Xuan Zang had left.
"Hmm?"
Just as the plant was about to sink into the branches, Bai Jue cried out in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Jue Hei sounded a little confused.
On the other side, Xuan Zang sped up and left the place. He already knew who was spying on him.
Seeing that he was already far away, Xuan Zang's body burst with extremely strong electric currents. These electric currents didn't hurt his clothes, but swam on the surface of his skin. In the blink of an eye, they had traveled all over his body.
"Tsk! It's better to be careful!"
Xuan Zang knew that it was Bai Jue who had been spying on him. He also knew that Bai Jue's spores were very useful for both intelligence gathering and controlling the enemy. After speeding away from the area, Xuan Zang ran his electric current through his body, killing everything on his skin!
Baijue's eyes went wide, and the other half of his face was filled with disbelief.
"All my spores have been destroyed! I can't sense them!"
"Tsk! This Xuan Zang is really hard to deal with. No wonder Ban told us to be careful when we came out!”
No one could tell what he was thinking from his black eyes.
After saying this, the Pitcher Plant disappeared without leaving a trace on the tree.
"There shouldn't be any left, right?"
Xuan Zang frowned as he looked at his clothes, which had been scorched by the electric current due to his worry.
"Let's go back first. It's not a big deal to be on guard all the time.”
Xuan Zang didn't think about it anymore. He maintained his speed and headed toward the camp.
He wouldn't expose his true self during this period and would slowly think of a way to deal with it in the future.
……
When they returned to the camp, it was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Smoke was rising from the chimneys in Muye Camp.
The entire campsite was heavily guarded. The area within five miles was within the alert range. Whether it was Bai Ye or the oil lady insects, they were all monitoring the area around Mu Ye 24/7 to ensure the safety of the campsite.
"Xuan Zang, you're back?"
When they reached Uchiha's area, they met a few of Uchiha's clansmen. They greeted Genzang. Genzang was now considered the star of Uchiha's family and a role model for young people. He was very popular.
"Yes, I'm back!"
Seeing the respect in their eyes, Xuan Zang nodded and quickly left.
"Look at Xuan Zang, he's in such a hurry after completing his mission. Look at you guys! He didn't seem to be motivated every day.”
When they passed by a tent, a captain behind Genzang reprimanded his subordinates. Genzang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still maintained his composure.
"Another boring day!”
When he saw the two brothers standing at the entrance of his tent, Genzou felt bored.
"Captain, what happened to you?”
Uchiha Fire saw that Genzo's clothes were charred black, and his eyes were filled with doubt as he asked.
"Eh!"
Xuan Zang was stunned, thinking of an excuse.
"I was just testing my new ninjutsu on the road, and it happened accidentally. You know, my strength has recently reached a bottleneck, so I want to try to develop my ninjutsu.”
He scratched the back of his head a few times, and Xuan Zang said a few logical words.
"Oh, I see!"
Uchiha Fire's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Right, Captain! When Lord Sen came to look for you and saw that you hadn't returned, he asked me to tell you to look for him when you came back!”
Uchiha Yan pulled back Uchiha Huo, who wanted to continue asking questions, and immediately reported to Xuan Zang.
"Oh, alright. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go take a look.”
Xuan Zang nodded and walked back to his tent. He couldn't go to see Uchiha Sen in a beggar's outfit, could he? Although Uchihamori was usually so serious, if Genzang really did this, he would dare to laugh at Genzang for a few months.
Xuan Zang didn't dare to bet on this, so he had to wash up and change his clothes first. According to Uchiha Sen's personality, it wasn't urgent to talk to Xuan Zang.
"Alright, Captain!"
The two brothers nodded and walked away.
"Sizzle!"
Xuan Zang lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in. He took out his clothes and was about to change on the bed when he noticed something unusual.
"Who did this? Not bad."
Xuan Zang looked at his neat bed and curled his lips.
He knew who it was even if he used his butt to think. However, was Silent Voice always so free every day? Xuan Zang shook his head, sat on the bed, and began to take off his tattered clothes and pants.
After tidying himself up, Genzo put on his spare clothes. He was still wearing the Uchiha family style high-collared top and dark ninja pants. Paired with his bald head…tsk tsk, this style was surprisingly handsome.
……
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Xuan Zang walked straight into Sen's tent and saw him eating rice balls on the table while flipping through documents.
As Uchiha Tenmei's assistant, Uchiha Sen would usually help deal with some documents related to Uchiha.
"Yes, you're here?"
Uchihamori did not even raise his head as he continued to read the documents on the table.
Xuan Zang didn't act pretentious. He walked to the table, picked up a rice ball from the plate, and started chewing.
"Has the war in Shayin ended?”
Xuan Zang finished a rice ball in a few bites and said directly.
"Hmm? Did they tell you?"
Uchiha Sen looked up at Xuan Zang.
"No, I guessed."
Xuan Zang picked up another rice ball and put it into his mouth.
He had just returned from a mission and knew that Sen was looking for him. He could not delay any longer. He changed his clothes and rushed over. He was already hungry.
"That's a pretty accurate guess! Today, Lord Tsunete summoned us to discuss this matter. There's nothing else. I'll just tell you.”
"Oh, it should be over there too! After fighting for so long."
Xuan Zang leaned against the table and mumbled. In his memory, the battle between Muye and Sain had indeed ended in the year of Muye 46, but he did not know the exact time.
"Leave some for me. If you want to eat it, take it yourself! I'm quite busy here, so I won't entertain you!”
Sen slapped Xuan Zang's evil hand away, stopping him from eating.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll be leaving first."
Xuan Zang wasn't angry. He turned around and left. He really wanted to find something to eat, but his stomach couldn't hold on any longer.
……
As the wind blew, the news of Mu Ye's victory spread to the world in the blink of an eye. However, the opposite side's Kirin was still stubborn and wanted to fight Mu Ye.
This was the border, this was the Country of Fire, and that was the Country of Bears.
Xuan Zang stood in front of a group of ninjas, and a group of Jounin stood beside him. They all looked at the enemy opposite them, and their bodies emitted killing intent.
Okami did not come here. The commander-in-chief was Uchiha Tenmei and Hinata Shinobu. Although the two of them came from competing families, they maintained a surprisingly consistent stance on such a major event and did not make any mistakes.
"Beitian! Why are you hiding in the back and not daring to come out? Are you afraid of our Muye?"
Uchiha Tenmei shouted at the distant Kirishi. Kitada was the vanguard commander of the Kirishi forces this time. As a member of the Mizugi team, Ikuta Yakura was not present, so it might not be the right time yet.
This time, there were four members of the Seven Ninja Clan in the Hidden Fog Army, including Kurisan Chuanmaru and Muri Jinba, who had been injured by Genzo. The remaining two were Pipa Juzo and Xiguayan Fugu Gui, who had brought many casualties to Koba not long after they arrived on the battlefield. One was the user of the Broken Blade, Beheader Blade, and the other was the user of the Blade, Shark Muscle.
"Humph!"
A voice came from the group of Ninjas in Fog City. The crowd parted and a bald middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a green-white armor and had a long beard. He was Kitada Jiro, the current commander of Fog City.
"Is that the Uchiha Genzou who injured you? The kid known as the electric knife messenger?”
A voice that made one's teeth ache sounded. It was the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost carrying a weapon that was completely wrapped in bandages. He had a head of messy orange hair, a beard-like pattern on his face, and a few loose bandages around his neck.
As he spoke, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost bared his fangs and looked at Genzou, who was standing upright in front of the Koba Ninja.
"Don't underestimate that kid. Even you might not be his match.”
The one who spoke was Wuli Shenba. His injuries were almost healed. At this time, he looked at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost gloomily.
"I've never been afraid of anyone in close combat!”
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost slapped his right hand on the shark's flesh on his back with an indifferent expression.
"Humph!"
Wuli Shenba snorted coldly. He knew the characteristics of the shark's muscles, so he didn't continue.
"Are you still going to fight? If you want to fight, hurry up and stop talking nonsense!”
Pipa Juizang's eyes were filled with killing intent as he spoke to Beitian. As a member of the Seven Ninjas, he did not think much of Beitian, who was weaker than him.
"Uchiha Tenmei, why are you saying this? You'll know once you hit him!"
Kitada did not pay much attention to what Pipa Juzou said. He was already used to these riot-like Kirin.
"Haha! Let's fight!"
Uchiha Tenmei smiled and gestured to Koba's ninja.
Xuan Zang looked at the source of the malicious gaze and naturally saw a few exaggerated ninjas. He smiled and caressed the ninjato at his waist.
"Kill them!"
There was a commotion on Fog's side, and the battle line instantly collapsed. Hundreds and thousands of ninjas rushed towards Koba.
"Go!"
Uchiha Tenmei and Hinata Shinobu signaled for the Koba Ninjas to go forward. In such a large-scale war, there was no strategy to be used on the battlefield.
"Whoosh!"
Xuan Zang stomped his feet and headed straight for Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost. He could tell that the enemy treated him as an opponent.
"Swoosh!"
Taking the lead, Xuan Zang was like a bolt of lightning charging at the enemy formation, and in the blink of an eye, he met the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost.
"Clang!"
The mermaid's flesh blocked Xuan Zang's ninjato, and the lightning on it did not cause any damage to the enemy. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared. It must have been eaten by the mermaid's flesh.
"They said you were very powerful, but that's all!”
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost stared into Xuan Zang's eyes and smiled. He naturally knew that the mermaid muscles had swallowed the chakra current on Xuan Zang's sword just now. He wanted to see Xuan Zang's surprised expression.
Unfortunately, Xuan Zang already knew the characteristics of the mermaid muscles, so he was not surprised.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang dodged to the side and dodged the shark's flesh that was coming at him. At the same time, he raised his hand and stabbed the knife straight at the enemy.
"Humph!"
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost didn't panic. He just stretched his shark muscle across his chest. The shark muscle was long enough to block Xuan Zang's attack.
"Bang!"
Xuan Zang kicked the mermaid's skin hard. Lightning flashed under his feet, and the bandage on the mermaid's skin was charred black.
"Squeak squeak!"
The mermaid's muscles didn't react in time, and they squeaked from the electric shock.
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost lowered his head to take a look, then continued to attack Xuan Zang.
"Swoosh!"
With a stomp of his right foot, Xuan Zang disappeared in front of the enemy. He was so fast that the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost could not react at all.
"Swoosh!"
The saber left a wound on his back, but the mermaid's flesh was instantly in front of Xuan Zang.
"Plop!"
Xuan Zang widened the distance between them and jumped back. He rubbed his feet on the ground and moved far away.
"Hiss!"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish touched the wound that Xuan Zang had just left. Because he had dodged, the wound was not deep, but his face was very gloomy, and his eyes were like those of a beast as he stared at Xuan Zang.
"You deserve to die!"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Gui said to Xuan Zang. Then, he straightened his mermaid muscles and began to make a seal with his hands.
"Water Evasion-Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Bang!"
A water dragon charged at Xuan Zang with extreme speed and power. The dragon head was ferocious and exquisite.
"Roar!"
The Ninjutsu Dragon kept roaring.
Xuan Zang narrowed his eyes and quickly dodged to the side, but the water dragon's attack range was too wide for him to dodge all of them.
"Fire Escape, Grand Fireball Technique!"
Although he knew that water escape could restrain fire escape, it was still a ninjutsu of the same level. If his chakra output was stable against the enemy, this kind of restraint would naturally not exist.
"Bang!"
Xuan Zang's chakra was very abundant, and the fireball that came out of his mouth was also extremely huge. In the blink of an eye, it rushed towards the water dragon.
"Hiss!"
"Hiss!"
The water vapor covered the sky, as if someone had cast a fog concealment technique.
The ninjas around them cleverly left some space for Genzo and Guitasan Fugu, so they were not injured by the ninjutsu.
"Humph!"
The figure of the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost passed through the steam. He didn't care about the water vapor that was still warm and headed straight for Xuan Zang.
"Haha!"
Three magatama swirled in his eyes, and Xuan Zang easily caught the enemy's movements. He did not show any weakness in his hands, and lightning wrapped around his saber as he looked at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost.
"Bang!"
As soon as the Sword Disciple came into contact with the merman's flesh, the electric current on it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the ferocious scales on the surface of the merman's flesh suddenly stood up.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang's hand was scratched by those scales, and some small wounds appeared on his right hand.
"Buzz!"
He summoned the Thousand Birds in his left hand and stabbed it at a tricky angle. The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Sizzle!"
This time, the mermaid muscles couldn't block Xuan Zang's attack. Xuan Zang deliberately showed off his weakness in order to exchange for injuries. However, he only suffered minor injuries, while the enemy didn't feel good.
"Swoosh!"
The two separated.
His scarlet eyes stared at the half-crouching Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost not far away. Xuan Zang knew that the attack just now had pierced his abdomen.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang would not give the enemy any more breathing space. He instantly appeared in front of the enemy and slashed down at his head with his saber.
"Sou!"
A large saber swept toward Xuan Zang's head with a strong wind.
"Hmm?"
Xuan Zang turned his eyes and saw Pipa Shizang. He crouched down and dodged his attack, then turned around and ran away.
"What a sorry state!"
After forcing Xuan Zang to retreat, Pipa Shizang said to Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost.
"Hmph, I was just careless!"
Xuan Zang thought that the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost would lose his fighting ability after being hit by his Thousand Birds. However, he stood up as he spoke. Although his abdomen was still bleeding, it did not seem to be a serious injury.
"Lightning Blade Ninja?"
Pipa Shizang turned his gaze to Genzang, the beheading saber on his right shoulder.
"Loquat Ten Treasures!"
Xuan Zang naturally had an impression of the ninjato's user and could tell his identity at a glance.
"Water Evasion, Fog Concealment Art!"
Pipa Shizang didn't waste any words and quickly formed a seal with his hands.
"Wind Escape, Great Breakthrough!"
Xuan Zang also knew a few more practical Wind Escape Ninjutsu. This was what he had specially learned before he set off here.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A gust of wind blew out from Xuan Zang's mouth, and in the blink of an eye, Pipa Shizo's ninjutsu was broken.
"Humph!"
Pipa Shizang sneered, but he wasn't angry.
"Can we still fight?"
He slowly placed the beheading saber in front of his chest and said to the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost who was still covering his abdomen.
"I can't fight now."
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost's voice was a little low, and his lips were starting to turn white. The fact that he could withstand Xuan Zang's ninjutsu for so long was related to his special physique, but he was almost at his limit now.
"Sou!"
? Li San Chuanwan fell to the side. He had just been held back by the Leaf Ninjas, and now he had finally broken through the encirclement and rushed over.
"Are you alright, Xuan Zang?"
Yukini Shimi and Uchiha Sen jumped to Genzou's side. They were the ones who had held off Kurisan Chuanmaru, while the remaining Muri Jinba was surrounded by the other Jounin, so they could not rush over in time.
"Yes, it's alright!"
Xuan Zang nodded, his Shura Eye still staring at the three enemies.
"I'm going up. You two see if you can seize the opportunity to kill the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost. I'll be responsible for delaying the other two.”
Xuan Zang tightly gripped the ninjato in his hand and ordered the two.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Zang stomped his feet and shot out like a bolt of lightning. Even a sharp knife that pierced through the battlefield was nothing!
"Swoosh!"
As soon as Xuan Zang made a move, Kurisanchuanwan straightened his body, his tall and thin body instantly assuming a defensive posture.
"He's here!"
Pipa Shizang's small eyes were filled with vigilance. It was not as casual as he said.
"Scdium!"
The ninjato wrapped in lightning currents smashed into a large saber. Xuan Zang's body shrank and he jumped to the right.
At the same time, a slender saber silently slashed across the spot where Xuan Zang had been.
"Humph!"
Chestnut Ball snorted coldly. He turned around and pulled at the air.
"Hiss hiss!"
Xuan Zang's feet missed, but he seemed to have been prepared. Lightning wrapped around his body, and the saber in his hand blocked Pipa Shizang's attack again. At the same time, he kicked him.
"Bang!"
Xuan Zang's speed was simply too fast. Pipa Shizang was completely unable to react in time and was kicked in the abdomen.
"Wow!"
Pipa Shizang's hands and feet were parallel in the air. His body retreated at an extremely fast speed, and he kept vomiting blood in the air.
With this kick, not only did Xuan Zang use the momentum to dodge the iron wire attack of Li San Chuan Wan, but he also injured Pipa Shizang.
"Swoosh!"
As soon as his body landed on the ground, Xuan Zang stomped his foot again, creating a shallow hole in the ground, and once again disappeared from Li San Chuan Wan's sight.
"Damn it!"
The moment his attack missed, Kurisan Chuanwan knew that he was in trouble. However, Xuan Zang was too fast. Although he had jumped to the side quickly to increase the distance, Xuan Zang still caught up.
"Swoosh!"
Without any hesitation, the ninjato in his hand stabbed toward the enemy's chest with a cold expression.
The electric current on his body was constantly twirling, and the magatama of Xuan Zang's eyes was circulating to the extreme, not giving the enemy any room to dodge.
"Tsk!"
Li San Chuanwan's face was still filled with endless fear when Xuan Zang's knife stabbed into his left chest.
"Puff!"
Blood spurted out of the enemy's mouth and splattered on Xuan Zang's shoulder.
Xuan Zang's expression did not change. The saber in his hand once again emitted an explosive electric current, wiping away the enemy's last vitality. The wound was instantly charred black, and the blood was evaporated in an instant.
"Eh!"
The light in Li San Chuan Wan's eyes gradually faded away, and he looked at Xuan Zang with lifeless eyes. He could not believe that he had died so easily here.
"Damn it!"
As soon as Pipa Shizang slowed down, he saw Genzang stab Kurisan Chuanmaru in the chest. His face turned even uglier as he cursed.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang pulled out his saber and kicked the enemy's corpse to the side of the battlefield.
"Hiss!"
The ninjas from both sides recognized that they were members of the Ninjato Seven, and their pupils constricted.
The Fog Enduring Warrior once again pulled away from Genzou, while the Koba Ninja looked excited, as if he was the one who killed Kurisan Chuanmaru. The more he fought, the braver he became.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A series of explosions hit Genzo, and the attacks that did not differentiate between friend and foe blew up all the ninjas in this path.
"Hmm?"
Xuan Zang naturally saw such a huge attack. Lightning flashed on his body and he disappeared.
"Swoosh!"
Wuli Jinba panted heavily as he landed next to Pipa Shizo. He was covered in blood and his face was extremely ferocious. Although he was injured in many places, he was clearly in good condition.
"These Leaf Ninjas are really hard to deal with!"
As he spoke, he looked at the ninjas who were chasing after him. There was no lack of Jounin among the ninjas who had landed in front of them. However, these Koba ninjas were basically in a sorry state. It was obvious that they were feeling very uncomfortable fighting with Muri Jinhachi.
"Humph, Li San's skewers have been dealt with. Damn it!”
"I saw it. I told you to be careful of that kid, but you guys were still so careless!”
The two of them stood side by side, their tone very angry.
"This kid's speed is completely uncontrollable. If he gets close, he won't be able to resist at all.”
Pipa Shizo was holding a large beheading knife in his hand. There was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth that had not been wiped clean.
Looking around the battlefield, Wuli Jinba could tell that his side had the advantage in numbers, and the Koba Ninjas could barely hold their ground.
In the entire battlefield, only his side was completely suppressed by Xuan Zang.
"Xuan Zang!"
Nearly five ninjas landed on Xuan Zang's right side, and one of them said to Xuan Zang.
"Leave this to me. You guys go help other places.”
Xuan Zang could tell that Mu Ye's side was the weaker side, so he said to the ninjas.
After taking a look at the enemy, the ninjas nodded and jumped away.
"Buzz!"
The lightning under his feet kept flashing, turning the ground black. Xuan Zang slowly raised his saber and narrowed his eyes.
"There are still two enemies. We can try to kill them!”
Genzang thought to himself as he glanced at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost who was being entangled by Uchiha Sen and Yukini Shimi. He had been hit by his Thousand Birds. Although his physique was very strong, he was still suppressed and forced to retreat.
However, the mermaid muscles had played their role at this time. Although the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost was forced to retreat, Mu Ye and the other two's chakras were almost exhausted.
"Whoosh!"
Pipa Shizang pulled his saber from the ground and revealed a cruel smile.
"I'm going to risk my life!"
He lowered his body and pressed his body very low. The broadsword was placed horizontally on his right side.
"Let's go. The two of us should be able to fight him for a while. Ghost Lantern and Full Moon will be arriving soon.”
Shinhachi gripped his weapon with both hands, and his mustache twitched as he spoke.
"Plop!"
Xuan Zang's figure disappeared.
"Ding!"
The broadsword collided with Xuan Zang's weapon. Although Pipa Shizang was not as fast as Xuan Zang, his combat awareness was very strong. He could judge Xuan Zang's attack trajectory, so he could block Xuan Zang's attack.
"Humph!"
Pipa Shizang looked at the evil magatama in Xuan Zang's eyes with a serious expression.
"Die!"
Jinba's attack arrived in front of Xuan Zang the moment the two collided, and the explosive blade slashed straight at the back of his neck.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang instantly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Wuli Shenba.
"Bang!"
Xuan Zang kicked out and landed heavily on his body.
Wuli Jinba withdrew his saber in time, but he did not have the ability to turn his body to deal with Xuan Zang's attack. He could only forcefully gather the remaining chakras on his back to resist most of Xuan Zang's power.
"Pa!"
Wori Jinba and Pipa Juizang collided, and Genzang took the opportunity to chase after them. The saber in his hand was wrapped in endless lightning power as he stabbed at the enemy.
"Move aside!"
Pipa Juzang reacted the moment Xuan Zang disappeared, but Xuan Zang was still too fast for Wuli Jinba to react in time. However, when he saw Xuan Zang approaching him again, a fierce look flashed across his face. Ignoring Wuli Jinba, who had hit his chest, he swept his saber out.
"Sizzle!"
The lightning on the ninjato directly cut the beheading broadsword open from the middle.
"Pa da!"
The broken broadsword fell to the ground, but Xuan Zang didn't slow down and continued to attack.
"Explosive Blade Ninja Technique, Heavy Death!”
Wuli Jinba also began to counterattack. He turned his body and swept his weapon away. He shouted, and the chakra in his body was instantly emptied.
In the next second, countless Detonation Talismans surged out of his weapon and formed a sky-like explosion circle in the blink of an eye, covering Xuan Zang.
"Explode! Go to hell!"
Muli Jinba held a ninja seal with one hand and instantly cut off the connection between the Detonation Talisman and the Explosive Blade. A flower light instantly bloomed.
With a ferocious expression, Wuli Jinba quickly retreated. Pipa Juizang did not care about the damage to his weapon and also retreated.
"Bang!"
The explosion this time was also extremely powerful. Xuan Zang's figure disappeared in the explosion.
The attack just now was too sudden, and Xuan Zang's momentum was moving forward. In the eyes of others, it was as if he had directly crashed into the detonation talisman.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Xuan Zang stopped his losses in time. He used the Ninja Seal of the Substitute Technique and disappeared into the center of the explosion.
However, the range of this explosion was too wide. The range of the Substitute Technique was only about fifteen meters. Xuan Zang was still affected, but it was only a small injury.
"Hehe!"
The moment the explosion stopped, Xuan Zang rushed out again, ready to kill these two enemies who had already reached the end of their path.
"Swoosh!"
In the smoke caused by the explosion, Xuan Zang's figure instantly rushed out, and the lightning on his body kept exploding.
In this battle, Xuan Zang's chakra was almost completely depleted, but fortunately, the enemy's condition was even worse.
"Sou!"
When Wuli Jinba saw Xuan Zang rushing over again, his eyes were filled with powerlessness. Beside him, Pipa Shizang clenched his teeth tightly.
When Xuan Zang kicked him earlier, his internal organs had already suffered some damage, and his stamina was almost depleted after the battle.
"Swoosh!"
A figure jumped out from behind Hidden Fog, holding a hammer and an axe. It was the Ninja Clan member who had rushed over to provide support!
Ghost Lamp Full Moon, who had been severely injured by Xuan Zang, followed closely behind this figure. He stared at Xuan Zang with bloodthirsty desire.
Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Xuan Zang stopped chasing.
Although he was in a good condition, the enemy was also two ninjas of the Seven Ninjas 'level. If he continued to chase, he would undoubtedly be in danger.
"Swoosh!"
Tong Caoye landed on the ground, half-bending his body to reduce the gravity. His eyes first saw Wuli and Shenba, who were in a sorry state, and then turned to Xuan Zang, who had stopped in front of him.
"Bang!"
Ghost Lamp Full Moon had also arrived. His body was still wrapped in bandages, as if he had not fully recovered from his previous injuries.
"Sou!"
Not long after the two of them stood firm, a huge bright spot bloomed in the sky, turning into a dazzling splash.
"Hmm?"
Ghost Lantern Full Moon raised his head and revealed a puzzled expression.
This was Hidden Fog's retreat signal. However, he did not know why he had to retreat after fighting for so long. Moreover, he had just arrived at the battlefield.
"Sou!"
"Sou!"
"Sou!"
More air-piercing sounds came from behind Mu Ye. Many ninjas joined the battle.
Xuan Zang glanced at them and found that they were all Leaf Ninjas, but they didn't seem to belong to the front line.
"Is this reinforcement?"
Xuan Zang suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"Let's retreat. It seems that Mu Ye's reinforcements have arrived.”
Ghost Lamp Full Moon looked at Xuan Zang with fear in his eyes.
"Yes."
Tong Caoye nodded and waved the weapon in his hand casually.
"Retreat!"
Kitada Jiro's voice rang out on the battlefield. He did not participate in the battle, but sat at the back and commanded the situation.
Hidden Fog's men retreated as they fought. Although they had gained a certain advantage at the beginning of the battle, their ninja nature made them obey orders, so they did not have the intention to continue fighting.
Moreover, with the arrival of Mu Ye's reinforcements, Hidden Fog's numbers were no longer an advantage. There was no need for them to risk their future and lives just for a temporary victory.
On the other hand, Kanye's reinforcements had appeared out of nowhere and joined the battle. Kanye could completely compete with the enemy in terms of numbers. Naturally, he would not let the Fog Shinobu leave so easily.
In the end, after paying a certain price, Fog managed to retreat successfully. Xuan Zang's condition was still acceptable, but he didn't chase after his opponents.
The battlefield was filled with corpses and broken limbs. Blood dyed the area purple-red, and the ground was also formed.
"Lin?"
Genzang saw a familiar face. It was Uchiha Hayashi, who had been in the sand battlefield. He was holding a Kunai and standing on a high ground, looking at the fleeing Kirin.
"Xuan Zang!"
Uchiha Hayashi also saw Genzo and waved his hand.
All that was left was to clean up the battlefield. Mu Ye packed the ninjas 'corpses and sealed them into scrolls, preparing to transport them back to the village next time.
Many of Fog's corpses were left in this area. After cleaning up some of the ninja corpses that seemed important, Kanye did not bother with the other corpses. Naturally, Kurisan Chuanmaru's corpse was among the Sequence that Kanye had preserved. As a member of the Seven Ninja Clan, he must have a lot of secrets that Kanye needed, and Kanye happened to have talents in this area.
After Mu Ye left this battlefield, the Hidden Fog's people would most likely return to collect the corpses of their comrades.
……
"Yuxi! Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time, or our losses would have been terrifying.”
Okami sat at the head of the table, and beside him was the leader of the reinforcements, Nara Shika.
Next to Nara Shika, there was Akido Tsubasa and Yamanaka Oichi, who were also the young generation of Pig-Deer-Butterfly. They were a force that could not be ignored.
"Everything is for the village!”
Nara Shika nodded. Although he still looked very young, his words were very experienced.
"Yes! Next, let's talk about the other situations!”
Okami nodded and turned his head to the other parts of the long table.
"In this battle, Muye lost a total of forty-six chuunins, seventy-nine shounins, and seven jounins.”
Tapping his fingers on the table, Okami read out the data that he had just calculated.
" The enemy's losses were not small either, especially after Uchiha Genzo killed a Seven Ninja and severely injured several of them. Our losses were still within the acceptable range.”
Okami looked at Genzo, who was sitting next to Uchiha Tenmei, with admiration in his eyes.
Under Okami's reminder, everyone also looked at Xuan Zang, who was sitting upright.
Xuan Zang didn't say a word, maintaining his calm expression. Under everyone's gaze, he still smiled and nodded at the people in charge around him.
"Lu Jiu, analyze the situation for us.”
Okami gestured for Nara Shika to speak. As a member of the Nara clan, he was now a wise man like Koba.
"Good!"
Nara Shika nodded, stood up, and walked to a simple map behind Tsunei.
……
"Xuan Zang, you're getting stronger and stronger!”
Uchiha Sen and Uchiha Rein sat together, and Uchiha Rein spoke to Genzou.
"You killed ninjas like the Ninjato Seven!”
Lin continued, his eyes fixed on Xuan Zang.
"It's alright."
Xuan Zang sat on a chair with his saber slung at his waist.
"Oh right, Lin, why are you at the front line again?”
Genzang asked. Logically speaking, a ninja like Uchiha Hayashi who had just participated in a war should have a few months of rest, not to mention a ninja from a big family like Uchiha Hayashi.
"Haha!"
Uchiha Hayashi sounded a little uncomfortable when he was asked this question.
Uchiha Sen and Xuan Zang both felt that something was wrong and quickly asked, thinking that something had happened.
"It's not a big deal. I was just urged to get married!”
Helpless, Uchiha Hayashi revealed the truth.
Although Uchihamori had just gotten married during the new year, his wife had been diagnosed with pregnancy at the hospital before he left for the front line. She should be giving birth in a few months.
As for Uchiha Harin, who was only one year apart from Uchiha Sen, his family naturally urged him to get married.
He had no choice but to join the army again and come to the front line.
After finding out the truth, Uchihamori scratched his head and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He also felt a little sorry for his brother because his role model had given his family more motivation to urge Lin to get married as soon as possible so that they could have a descendant.
They didn't intend to continue talking about this, so they changed the topic again and chatted casually.
From Uchiha Hayashi, Genzou and the others also learned that the main force of Kiha's reinforcements was still behind, and the few hundred of them were only the vanguard.
"Alright, let's stop here. I still have things to do.”
Sen patted the corner of his clothes and stood up. As he spoke, he strode out. Lin followed suit.
"Alright, you guys go ahead."
Although Genzo was currently one of the top figures in Uchiha, he did not have many things on his hands. When he was needed, he was only needed for battle.
Standing at the entrance of the tent, the two of them waved at Xuan Zang and disappeared randomly.
After Xuan Zang confirmed that the two had left, he also prepared to take a good rest. The previous battle had exhausted him quite a bit. Although Chakra had basically recovered after half a day, his mental fatigue was still there.
"Puff!"
Lying on the bed, Xuan Zang narrowed his eyes.
Currently, the front line was on the right track. Wood Leaf and Hidden Fog were fighting for a long time, so there was no need to think about anything else.
In a war between countries, the strength of the country was the most important factor. Although the villages could not do without the support of the country, it seemed that Muye would not be able to get rid of Hidden Fog in a short period of time, and Hidden Fog would not be able to break through Muye's defense line.
The current situation was that Muye was already at war with Hidden Rock in the northwest, while Hidden Cloud in the north was unwilling to be left out and seemed to be heading south.
"It's still a little difficult to deal with. If it were any other Ninja Village, how could they possibly resist such an attack? Only Mu Ye has such strength!”
His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Xuan Zang slowly fell asleep. He needed a good rest.
……
"Captain!"
Uchiha Fire waved his right hand at Xuan Zang, signaling him to go over.
"Are you ready?"
Xuan Zang walked over and looked at the two brothers who were dressed neatly in ninjas.
"No problem, we can start the mission.”
Uchiha patted his chest in anger and promised.
"Alright then, prepare to meet up with them.”
Xuan Zang nodded and walked toward the square in the center of the camp.
This was already the third day after the battle. During this period, the two sides had engaged in a few more battles. Both sides had exchanged blows, and the remaining members of the Seven Ninja Clan from Hidden Fog's side had all arrived.
At that time, when he was cleaning up Kurisan's corpse, the ninjato and the stitches that he had confiscated at the same time had also been returned not long ago. Although Mu Ye's side had sealed the weapon, it was still forcefully returned.
"Yo, you're here!"
Shield Hinata greeted Xuan Zang as he walked over. Although the two families had disliked each other for a long time, he recognized Xuan Zang's strength and did not mind Xuan Zang's previous identity.
"Yes."
Xuan Zang nodded slightly. It wasn't that he looked down on Shield Hinata, but he was like this in front of outsiders.
Xuan Zang wasn't a person who was good at interacting with others, and his heart was only open to those who truly entered his heart.
Therefore, most of the time, others would think that Xuan Zang was cold and arrogant, but in fact, this was only because Xuan Zang felt that some things were completely unnecessary.
"Since everyone is participating in this operation, there's no need to be so cold to me, right?”
Shield Hinata had gotten used to Xuanzang's personality after such a long time.
"Let's talk about this operation. I didn't know the details because I was busy. I only know that this operation requires us to attack the Bear Country.”
Xuan Zang smiled and asked Shield Hinata.
The participants of this operation included the Oil Girl Clan, the Hyuga Clan, and the Uchiha Clan.
Each clan sent out a small team. The Oil Girl Clan was led by the Oil Girl Shiwei, while the Hyuga Clan was led by Shield Hyuga. On Uchiha's side, it was naturally Genzo.
"Alright, we'll discuss it when Zhiwei arrives. Master Tsunete was indeed in a hurry when he issued the mission.”
Shield Hinata nodded and regained his seriousness. His white eyes were filled with calmness.
Genzang nodded and glanced at the two ninjas behind him. They were also Chuunins.
After roughly understanding the situation, Xuan Zang withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of the oil girl Zhi Wei.
Among the three team leaders, the oil girl Zhiwei was the oldest, and her strength was not weaker than Xuan Zang in some aspects.
As the person in charge of this operation, he had arrived at the agreed time with two other Chuunins from the oil girl clan behind him.
…
From Zhiwei, Xuan Zang learned about the main body of this mission.
Spying on the enemy's intelligence, including but not limited to the deployment of defenses, could also be the route of reinforcements, the route of backup supplies.
Xuan Zang and the other two teams weren't the only team in this operation. There were many other teams with similar configuration.
"Let's set off when you're ready!"
Zhiwei said to Genzang and Shield Hinata as he adjusted his sunglasses.
In addition, just yesterday, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, had arrived at this battlefield and gradually took over the position of general. This was also suggested by Tsunete.
Even though Okami was still in charge of the camp, it was also because Orochimaru had just arrived and was not familiar with everything.
"Sou!"
The figures shuttled through the forest. Xuan Zang and the others had already bypassed the enemy's first line of defense and entered the territory of the Bear Country.
"Stop!"
Sundial Shield waved his hand. His eyes were surrounded by ferocious green meridians. It was obvious that he had rolled his eyes.
"Swoosh!"
The advancing team stopped in time and waited for Shield Hinata to speak.
"There is an enemy team ahead. There are four of them, and one of them is a Jounin!”
Shield Hinata squatted on the branch and said.
"I'll go settle it! You guys are in charge of keeping an eye on the surroundings.”
Xuan Zang stood up. He was confident that he could quickly finish off the enemy.
"I'll go with you. The others will be in charge of guarding the area and eliminating the surrounding threats.”
Yuki nodded slightly. This was not the first time they had encountered such a situation along the way.
Xuan Zang and the other two left quickly, while the rest of the people surrounded the area to keep a lookout.
Soon, the battle was over, and Xuan Zang and Zhi Wei regrouped with the others.
"Continue forward!"
Zhiwei said calmly, as if the enemies who had just died had nothing to do with him.
"This is the map that the Jounin had. Take a look at it and see if it's different from the previous one.”
Xuan Zang took out a map and threw it to Shield Hinata. The enemies he encountered before also had maps of different sizes. Xuan Zang handed them all to him.
As the team's biggest " scouting eye ", the Hyuga Shield's white eyes had the widest and furthest range. Handing the map to him was the best way to deal with it.
Taking the item from Xuan Zang, Shield Hinata opened the map and began to read it.
"These maps all have an overlapping and outlined place. Looking at the situation, that should be an important place for them. Should they go there?”
The group of people jumped and shuttled between the branches. The Sundial Shield maintained its speed and said to Xuan Zang and Zhi Wei.
"If it's really important, even if we go there, it won't be enough.”
Zhiwei was wearing sunglasses, so she couldn't see his eyes.
"Where is it? Let me see!"
Xuan Zang didn't express his opinion at the first moment and let Shield Hinata point to that place.
"The beach?"
Xuan Zang looked at the map. That place was circled by thick black handwriting.
"It's not too far from here. It should be a port, or a place where the Hidden Fog landed in the Bear Country.”
Shield Hinata's white eyes widened, and his tone was very calm. He did not want to affect his teammates 'judgment because of him.
"What do you think of Xuan Zang?"
Zhiwei looked at Xuan Zang for a long time without saying anything.
Stroking the saber with his fingers, Xuan Zang's eyes slowly narrowed.
"Let's go and take a look! Anyway, our mission is to figure out the enemy's movements to a certain extent. Perhaps there's something we want there.”
Xuan Zang looked around.
After a long silence, Zhiwei's eyes darkened behind his sunglasses. As the oldest person in the team, he didn't want to take such a risk, but Xuan Zang and the others 'attitude made him think twice.
"Alright, let's take a look over there!"
"However, there is a prerequisite. I will make a judgment on the situation. At that time, you must listen to me!”
Zhiwei turned his face to Xuan Zang and glanced at Shield Hinata as he spoke.
The entire team came to a consensus and began to move.
The group of nine headed towards the location marked on the map at high speed.
……
"Has Sir's ship arrived yet?"
This was a dock that belonged to Hidden Fog and was something that had just been built.
"We're almost there. Don't be anxious!"
A ninja carrying a huge machete said to the ninja beside him. It was Pipa Juzo.
"We'll try our best to hide this operation. I hope Sir's arrival will surprise the Leaf Ninjas!”
At this point, Pipa Shizang's lips curled up, and his cold laughter spread in the air.
There were only Pipa Juzo and another ninja at the dock. It seemed that not many people knew about their plan.
"He's here!"
The ninja saw a ship slowly approaching.
The fog made the ship seem unreal, but Qing knew that it was the ship that the fourth generation Shui Ying was on.
"Yes!"
Pipa Shizang nodded and no longer paid attention to Blue.
Although Qing was also a powerful Jounin, he did not take it to heart as a ninja.
If it wasn't for the fact that Qing Shen had the trust of the fourth generation water shadow, he wouldn't have been able to stand here and talk to Pipa Shizang and participate in such a secret mission.
……
"Rustle! Rustle!"
Their bodies rubbed against the leaves around them. Xuan Zang and the others were lying on the branches. A breeze blew past, causing the leaves around them to sway.
"How is it, Shield?"
Xuan Zang's voice was extremely soft as he spoke to the Shield of the Day not far away from him.
"There are only two ninjas at the dock in front. Judging from the amount of chakras, they should be jounin! One of them should be one of the Ninjas, Pipa Juizang.”
As he had seen Pipa Juzo on the battlefield, Shield Hinata was very familiar with his chakra and quickly judged it.
"Yes!"
Xuan Zang nodded.
"Someone who can stand with Pipa Juizang should also be an elite ninja.”
Zhiwei's hands were crawling with bugs, and countless bugs were still spreading from his body to the surrounding trees through his arm.
"Wait!"
Shield Hinata's eyes narrowed, and the expression on his face became formal.
"There's a ship coming from the other side of the sea. It's too far away to determine the situation inside the ship.”
Shield Hinata rolled his eyes and closed them. Bright white tears flowed out of his eyes. He had been in a scouting state all this time, and it was quite a burden on his eyes.
"What do we do now? Someone who could make someone like Loquat Shizo wait for him must be a key figure in Hidden Fog. He just didn't know who it was!”
Xuan Zang and the others were nearly a kilometer away from the dock, so they were not discovered by the enemy.
"Look again, see who is in the boat!”
Zhiwei's sunglasses reflected a layer of light. He pushed his glasses up and released all the bugs in his hand.
"Sure!"
Xuan Zang signaled for the Hinata team to continue observing with their eyes.
"I will also release bugs to investigate. Currently, we have only discovered two enemies. If we remain vigilant, we should not be discovered.”
"Yes!"
Shield Hinata closed his eyes.
………
"Clang!"
The boat approached the dock and slowly hit the buffer zone of the dock, making a dull sound.
This ship was not big. It was a small transport ship!
"Ta Ta!"
A short figure walked out of the cabin. His green hair glistened under the sunlight, and there was an artistic scar at the corner of his left eye.
Although he looked short, his aura was very strong.
"Yo! Just the two of you!"
The figure jumped onto the dock and shouted at the two people waiting for him.
As he landed, another beautiful figure followed behind him.
He had a head of wine-red hair that reached his eyes. Although he looked young, he already had a mature physique.
If Xuan Zang was here, he would have recognized this female ninja at a glance.
"After drifting on the sea for so long, we've finally arrived.”
Zhao Mei Ming stretched her body and flicked her right hair.
Ignoring Pipa Shizang's cold face, Zhao Meiming walked to Blue's side and waited for Shi Cang to speak.
"You've worked hard! I made you wait so long!"
Gouju Shicang held a stick-like weapon in his hand and walked in front of Pipa Shizang and the others.
He was only 1.4 meters tall, which was equivalent to a child's height. Standing in front of the tall people, his aura was not suppressed at all.
Even the others still had a humble appearance in front of him, and their attitudes were very low.
As one of the few people in the history of Ninja Realm with perfect strength, Shi Cang's strength was at least in the top five in the current Ninja Realm. He had even chosen the right place to fight. He was not afraid of anyone!
"It's my duty, my lord!"
Loquat Shizo lowered his head slightly and adjusted his position.
"Let's go now! The journey was tiring."
Shikura waved his hand, not caring about Pipa Shizo's attitude.
On the other side, the Hyuga clan's White Eyes were still watching.
Two of Hinata Shield's Chuunin teammates took turns to report the situation at the dock to Genzou and the others.
"Lord Shield, that ship has docked! Two people came down from above. One of the chakras was a little special, so we couldn't see it clearly!”
A Ninja told Shield Hinata what he saw.
"Oh? Let me see!"
Shield Hinata first looked around and looked at Genzang's expression. Under Genzang's gaze, he said to the ninja.
"You rolled your eyes!"
Shield-bearer Hinata looked ahead. Veins were bulging around his eyes, making him look a little ferocious.
As a member of the Hinata branch family, this was also one of the side effects of rolling their eyes. Veins would appear around their eyes that affected their appearance.
"What is this?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Shield Hinata saw a shocking scene.
In the past, he was lucky enough to meet the nine-tailed human pillar strength, Kushina, in the wooden leaf village. At that time, he was young and ignorant, so he rolled his eyes behind Kushina, wanting to see what was different about the human pillar strength. Then, he saw an ocean made of chakras and felt the pressure that made his entire body tremble.
And now, Sundial Shield could see Wang Yang in the Chakra. He could even see a strange creature swimming in the Chakra. Its three tails were wagging non-stop, looking very happy!
