"It's a bit strange... Everyone, please stop first and wait for the people from the reconnaissance squad to check the situation before taking action."

About one kilometer away from Mount Kanayen, a Konoha troop that was rushing to support the stronghold at Mount Kanayen stopped here.

The other ninjas present did not question the decision made by the leading jounin, because they knew that as a captain from the Nara clan, he would not give such an order casually.

After hearing Nara Shikaku's order, Aburame Shiwei, who serves as the reconnaissance squad leader in the Konoha army, stepped forward and asked in a deep voice:

"What's wrong, Shikaku? Did you notice anything wrong?"

"Zhiwei, is today a foggy day?"

Nara Shikaku squinted his eyes, looking at the layer of mist covering Mount Kannabu under the illumination of the moonlight, and asked solemnly.

"No, autumn has just begun, and there is no weather to support the natural formation of fog in the Country of Fire."

When Nara Shikaku said this, Aburame Shimi knew what the problem probably was. He pushed up his black sunglasses, looked at the calm scene of the Kannabu Mountain stronghold with swaying lights in the distance, and carefully released himself.

The secret insects raised.

Several tiny and inconspicuous parasitic insects flapped their wings and flew slowly to the stronghold of Mount Kanaibu on the wind. From time to time, they would stop on the surrounding leaves and take a pretense of taking a bite to hide from the enemy.

Possible sensing and reconnaissance.

About ten minutes later, the parasitic bugs controlled by Shiwei Aburame finally lurked on the outer wall of the Kanabu Mountain stronghold. He asked the bugs to climb up from different directions and reported as much of the situation in the stronghold as possible.

Include it within your own field of vision.

There are normally ninjas on night duty in the stronghold. Judging from their clothes, they are indeed Konoha's ninjas stationed in this stronghold. However, for some unknown reason, Shimi Aburame can get away from them.

I feel a strange sense of dissonance...

呲.

When a parasitic bug crawled in front of a very young-looking ninja, it somehow attracted the other's attention. After the young man with a pair of calm eyes stared at the parasitic bug crawling past for a long time, he suddenly

He threw a kunai and nailed the parasitic bug to the wall.

"I'm sorry, Shikaku..."

Shimi Aburame did not take any chances that the other party would not find other parasites. After seeing one of his parasites being killed with purpose, he immediately turned to look at Nara Shikaku.

He said in a deep voice:

"My colleagues who were stationed at the stronghold on Mount Kanaibu have probably died in the line of duty. The ones currently operating in the stronghold are the Kirigakure ninjas who have put on their clothes... My parasitic bug was discovered by a boy with only two eyebrows.

There is a high probability that they will be aware of our arrival."

"Did you just take a step slowly and be attacked first by the opponent?"

Nara Shikaku's young face showed a somewhat remorseful and regretful expression. After taking a long puff of cigarette, he ordered sharply:

"The situation has changed! All members, stay on alert and return the way we came... The Kannabu Mountain stronghold has been occupied by Kirigakure's ninjas. We must take this news back and let Lord Kushina allocate troops, giving priority to Kanna

Take Yanshan back!"

…

"Why did you suddenly take action, Lian?"

Terumi Mei, who put on a Konoha Jounin uniform and disguised herself as the female Konoha Jounin who was good at water escape, looked at the kunai nailed to the wall and launched an attack on Kaguya without warning.

Lian cast a doubtful look.

"That bug is probably a secret bug driven by the Aburame clan. Our disguise has been seen through. They won't come today."

As Kaguya Rei said this, she took off the scarf that wrapped her long black hair and said with some regret:

"The problem was discovered by the commander on the opposite side... After capturing this stronghold, I thought I would work harder and eat up the subsequent supporting troops as well, but I didn't expect that the commander on the opposite side would

My sense of smell is so sharp."

"Perhaps the Kirigakure Jutsu you released attracted their attention, right?"

Terumi Mei patted Kaguya Rei on the shoulder and said helplessly:

"The Kingdom of Fire is different from our Kingdom of Water. In this season, there are not many places that naturally generate fog at night... Although you have reduced the concentration of fog to the lowest level, as long as their team

If someone notices the existence of fog, they will definitely become suspicious."

"You think I am willing?"

Kaguya Rei kicked the outer wall of the stronghold in displeasure and said angrily:

"That guy from the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost has figured out that I can only take down the Kannayen Mountain stronghold with a strong attack. He simply didn't even equip me with a perceptual ninja. If there is a perceptive ninja who can use it,

Even if I'm just a half-assed guy like Mikayuki, I don't need to use this half-baked improved version of Kirigakure's art to sense approaching enemies..."

"I can't help it. You are a member of the Kaguya clan. Everyone thinks you just need to obey the command..." Terumi Mei teased and poked Kaguya's lower back, and then asked curiously.

Said: "But, where did your inspiration for improving the Kirigakure Jutsu come from?"

"I thought of it when I went to the Kingdom of Whirlpool before."

Kaguya Rei grabbed Terumi Mei's troublesome hand, pressed the opponent's slender and boneless jade fingers, and then replied unhurriedly: "But this technique with wide-area perception effect will probably need more time."

It just takes a while to completely perfect it..."

The principle behind the improved version of the Kirigakure Jutsu that can sense enemies is very simple. It is to mix a large amount of chakra into the mist you create. While increasing the concentration of the mist, using enemies walking through the mist will change the chakra in the mist.

The principle of carat distribution is used to capture their specific locations.

The reason why Kaguya Rei suddenly thought of this improvement plan was mainly because he unexpectedly met Nagato, and then recalled from the other party that he would play an important role in the anti-espionage and anti-infiltration work of Amegakure Village in the future.

A technique that works - the technique of Yu Hu's freedom.

Although Kaguya Rei does not have the same reincarnation eye as Tendou Pain, fortunately, he has a large enough chakra reserve. Even if he cannot perform the meticulous operation of integrating chakra into every drop of rain, he can make the chakra he created

It is still possible to achieve similar effects in heavy fog.

After listening to Kaguya Rei's explanation of the development direction and specific usage of the improved Kirigakure no Jutsu, Terumi Mei, who had originally planned to join in and learn from Kaguya Rei, suddenly lost interest. She shook her head regretfully.

He shook his head and said helplessly:

"Rei, you are definitely in the right direction in developing ninjutsu, but this kind of jutsu requires the user to have a large amount of chakra to exert its real effect. I am not very optimistic about its prospects... If Kirigakure

If the jutsu is a D-level ninjutsu, then your improved version must be at least a B-level jutsu, right?"

"When I develop a new jutsu, the first thing I have to consider is that I can use it myself. How to modify it later to make it easier to learn and have a wider range of use? That should be left to the ninjutsu developers in the village.

The department is dealing with a headache, what does it have to do with me..."

Kaguya Rei gestured to the surrounding Kirigakure ninjas, indicating that they would start their normal night shifts. Those on duty were not required to find a place to rest by themselves. While looking at the direction in which Konoha's reinforcements disappeared, Yuyou said:

"Instead of worrying about this now, we should think more about how we will face Konoha's counterattack in the next few days...

"Kanabuyama is a very important place for Konoha's current defense line. There is no other place like this place that can limit the attacker's offensive methods to the point where only frontal attack is the only way to go.

Already...

If they still want to maintain the defense line at its previous position, they must recapture Mount Kanayen at any cost."

"In other words, it is very likely that we will have to face the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki lady?" Terumi Mei blinked and asked with some anticipation and some nervousness.

"If the stalemate lasts longer, we can still meet the future fourth generation Hokage of Konoha." Kaguya Rei said with some evil humor, her hands behind her back.

"The future Fourth Hokage? Are you talking about Namikaze Minato?" Mei Terumi widened her green eyes, "Liar, why are you so sure that he will be the Fourth Hokage!?"

"If you were the Third Hokage of Konoha, would you trust the only Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in the village to marry someone other than the Hokage?"

While Kaguya Rei was teasing Terumi Mei with what could only be regarded as fallacies, she couldn't help but think of Orochi, the number one scientist in the ninja world who became more and more extreme after failing to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage, and finally chose to rebel against the village.

pill.

Should I extend an olive branch to Xiao before the time comes...

No, Nagato has already believed his own deception and realized that only a big enough fist can make others sit down and listen to you. So after becoming more determined, will he still be beaten by Danzo and Hanzo?

I have lost my original intention, and I don’t know if the so-called old thing has plotted to turn into evil.
