Chapter 73 Mist Ninja Disturb the Border
The sound of hurried footsteps rang out.
He stepped into the muddy ground with his shoes, not caring that his trousers were splashed with water.
The two ninjas fled in disarray through the forest.
Judging from the headbands they are wearing, they are clearly ninjas from the Land of Forests.
This place is already within the Land of Fire, and it's unknown how the two of them got here.
As the two stumbled forward, they found themselves, like headless flies, crashing into a thick fog.
"Damn it, it's the Misty Shadow Technique! Those guys are catching up."
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the thick fog, then silence fell.
cough!
While looting a corpse, a Mist Ninja was suddenly attacked from behind. A tremendous force smashed his spine, pinning him to a tree.
He coughed up blood and turned around with difficulty.
It turned out that a large stick had emerged from the fog, directly cutting off his escape route.
"Summoning Beast Enma! From the Sarutobi clan of Konoha!"
After seeing the weapon behind him that had killed him, he smiled with relief.
I won't die alone in a foreign land.
As long as my teammates can't escape.
The remaining Mist Ninja showed no intention of rescuing their teammates and turned to leave.
The fog was blown away, and a gust of wind rushed straight to his face.
Is it Wind Release?
But isn't it too weak as a wind-style technique? Yet, isn't it a bit too strong as a wind-style technique?
Before he could even finish thinking about the problem, his nerves had already disconnected.
A headless corpse fell to the ground.
Yang Xiang stood on the treetop, looking down.
"This is the fourth pair of Mist Ninja we've encountered."
"Isla Yuto said with concern."
On their way back to Uzushio Village, they kept encountering roaming Mist Ninja.
He discovered and destroyed the fourth pair simply by using his Kagura Mind's Eye.
There are also many places where traces were left, but no one could be found.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke kicked away two corpses on the ground; these were people killed by the Kirigakure ninja earlier.
"The Ninjas of Bamboo Village"
In just a moment, he figured out what had happened.
This place isn't far from the Land of Forests; they must have been driven here by the Mist Ninja from the Land of Forests.
I thought I could survive in the Land of Fire, but I didn't expect that there were also Kirigakure ninja committing crimes within the Land of Fire.
"Have the Mist Ninja gone mad? What are they trying to do?" Uchiha Mikoto asked, covering her mouth.
Uchiha Kagami examined the bodies of the two Mist Ninja, but found nothing.
"With the harassment tactics, the entire coastline has probably fallen."
This is standard procedure for the Mist Ninja before a battle; he had experienced it once before, so it wasn't surprising.
These water monkeys are masters of water escape, and they are even more slippery than wide rice noodles in the sea.
The villages along the coast were basically all slaughtered, and there are probably no boats available for them to go out to sea now.
Uchiha Kagami frowned.
The quickest solution would actually be for them to cross the sea physically, but they would most likely encounter an attack from the Kirigakure ninja in the ocean.
There are still a few children in my team, and it will be difficult to take care of them later.
Fortunately, the escort of the Uzumaki clan members was not urgent.
The group huddled together and discussed it, deciding to take a detour.
They will travel a short distance downstream before attempting to cross the sea.
Heading south, there is a small path leading to the foot of Mount Katsuragi. By going around from there, you can reach the hidden fishing village port at the southernmost tip of the Land of Fire.
"Attention everyone, we have entered the territory of the Earth Spider Clan."
Uchiha Kagami reminded him.
Those present were all from powerful ninja clans, so they were naturally familiar with the Tsuchigumo clan, and they nodded to each other.
Within the Land of Fire, there are also ninja clans that have not joined Konoha Village, and the Tsuchigumo clan is one of them.
Moreover, this tribe possesses powerful secret arts and is extremely xenophobic.
The group found a fellow merchant caravan transporting grain and, posing as merchants, managed to sneak into two of their carriages.
The Earth Spider clan is skilled in trap-making; venturing into their territory recklessly is no joke.
Moreover, even ninjas can't get into these places, but small vendors often have their own connections.
For example, the one they are currently following is responsible for selling some daily necessities to Tuzhuzhu Village, in addition to normal grain trade.
Therefore, the caravan would stay in Tsuchigumo Village for a day, and then cross the foothills of Mount Katsuragi to head to the Land of Tea.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke fiddled with the small square box in his hand, looking on with curiosity.
"Congyun, you're really amazing."
After spending the last few days together, Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly integrated into Yosho's small team.
This person is easygoing, proactive, and always ready to take on any task; he's practically a chosen one.
Moreover, he was very strong and had sparred with Uzumaki Kage along the way.
Unlike the Third Hokage's tactics, which primarily relied on the Five Elements Ninjutsu, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was a close-combat ninja who specialized in ninjutsu and taijutsu.
With a powerful swing of his monkey demon staff, combined with the aid of fire-style ninjutsu, he caused Uzumaki Kouichi to suffer considerable losses.
The others accepted him after they learned that Yang Xiang had slapped his buttocks.
Once you've shared a meal with us, you're family.
Since we're all family, we don't need to speak like outsiders, so at this moment, Kurama Murakumo also gave him one of his latest ninja tools.
Everything changed after the invention of food escape.
When God closes a door, he opens a window.
He lacks bloodline ability, but he has a clever mind.
After developing the Food Release technique, he had a completely new concept of ninjutsu.
Ninjutsu should serve the nature of chakra, not the other way around.
Before this, regardless of the type of ninjutsu used, a ninja would first learn the chakra nature of that ninjutsu, and then change the nature of their own chakra to release the ninjutsu.
However, he uses the chakra that grants him control over the five senses, which he brings with him, to release ninjutsu in accordance with its nature.
Since it is primarily determined by its nature, there are many ways to release it.
No longer limited to one type.
The Kurama clan has always used genjutsu as a ninjutsu adapted to their clan's bloodline limit.
The previous Food Release technique involved releasing chakra through food.
What about the others?
Would ninjutsu work?
How about ninja tools?
Food, daily necessities, clothing, drinks, audio—can all of these be included?
Kurama Murakumo felt an itch in his head. If he could imbue everything with his chakra, wouldn't he be able to control everything around him?
Anyone who gets close to him will be influenced by the things around them and have their five senses controlled by him.
His bloodline extended from his own body, influencing the entire world.
It was an epoch-making innovation, and he named this envisioned state "Bloodline Awakening"!
When he is able to awaken.
Let Yang Xiang do it!
Ayaka Uzumaki fiddled with the ninja tool in her hand, turning it over and over but not being able to see anything. When no one around her was paying attention, she secretly put it in her mouth and took a bite.
By chance, it bit a button, and the ninja tool immediately emitted a loud sound, startling everyone.
Ayaka Uzumaki frantically tossed the ninja tool back to Murakumo Kurama, who then turned off the sound.
The people in the nearby caravans looked at their carriages strangely.
