Shinji, fully armed, was waiting quietly in the apartment.
Different from last night, tonight he was no longer excited and eager, but calm and much more restrained.
[Prepare to face the invasion...]
The mysterious voice sounded in his ears as expected.
"call..."
After exhaling, he put on the mask.
The next moment, with a 'swish' sound, his figure disappeared from the apartment.
...
When he came to his senses again, Shinji found that he was at the foot of a large mountain.
"Where is this?"
He looked around.
What came into view was a large mountain that stretched for dozens of miles, but it looked very unfamiliar to him, and it was definitely not near Konoha Village. However, the vegetation here is dense, and the temperature and humidity are no different from Konoha, so it is very likely that it is still there.
Within the Land of Fire.
"The permissions are still too low..."
He sighed secretly.
If he were now the official 'Lamp Bearer' in the ninja world, he would probably not be as blind as he is now, with no information at all.
Putting away this thought, he looked at the mountains in front of him again.
The feeling this mountain gave him was just one word, quiet!
Standing under the night, it looks like a huge monster that is holding its breath and waiting for its prey to come to its door.
"How about we come back another day?"
Shinji made a joke to himself, relieved his nervous mood, then jumped up and ran towards the mountain.
Entering the mountain and walking through the forest, Shinji felt more and more that something was wrong.
Even late at night, in a mountain with such dense vegetation, there should be at least some chirping of insects and birds, but it is too quiet here now.
Whoa...
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the darkness.
Shinji, who had activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, immediately noticed the opponent, took out a kunai from the ninja bag on his waist with his right hand, and faced him.
Clang!
A harsh metal clash echoed in the dark and quiet mountain forest.
After blocking the opponent's attack and jumping back, Shinji realized that the attacker was actually a ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector.
"Konoha ninja...that's not right!"
In just a moment, he discovered the problem.
The Konoha ninja who sneaked up on him had a frightened expression, not like a sneak attacker at all, and his body was connected to a series of flowing chakra threads, and the other end of the threads extended deep into the mountain forest.
Ordinary people may feel frightened and confused when encountering such a scene.
But for the ninjutsu blood step ninja, the thread hidden in the darkness is clearly visible, and the chakra flowing on it even directly points out the true location of the enemy to the ninjutsu blood step ninja.
"Huh, pretending to be a ghost!"
Shinji snorted lightly, ignored the Konoha ninja who was being controlled, stared directly at the thread of flowing chakra, and rushed into the forest.
The opponent's method was a bit like Sunagakure's puppet master, but he quickly ruled out this possibility, because the puppet master should not be able to stay so far away from the puppet being controlled.
In addition, this time he was fighting an invasion, so he had a vague idea of who was on the other end of the thread.
With the blessing of the 'breathing method', he was very fast, and the dark dense forest did not pose any obstacle in front of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
moment.
He ran out of the forest and came to an open area, and then the scene in front of him made his expression change.
The owner of the silk thread did not exceed his expectations. It was indeed the ghost mother of the Natian Spider Mountain ghost family with white hair and white robes that he had guessed earlier.
But he didn't expect that there would be seven Konoha ninjas controlled by the opponent, like puppets, guarding the opponent.
"Including the ones just now, there are eight Konoha ninjas in total, which is enough for two teams..."
Shinji was really surprised that so many Konoha ninjas fell into the opponent's hands.
But then I thought about it, it's not surprising that ordinary ninjas were killed by ghosts at first sight without understanding the characteristics of ghosts.
What's more, the strength of ordinary ninjas may not be as strong as Demon Slayer's top swordsman who has mastered the 'breathing method'.
You must know that the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, even if they do not know how to use ninjutsu, still rely on their sharp sword skills and tenacious will to gain a foothold in the ninja world.
Among ninjas, even a Jonin, or even a Kage-level expert, could easily lose his life if he was slightly negligent.
For example, the Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage, was plotted by Scorpion and died in an unknown manner. In the end, even his body was turned into a human puppet.
The truly terrifying thing about the ninja world is the high upper limit.
The most advanced combat power can cut through the moon and cross the galaxy with a sword!
Of course.
Those with this kind of strength are extremely rare in the ninja world.
In the ninja world, there are more ordinary ninjas who fight through kunai and detonating talismans. These ninjas, including Shinji, actually have no qualifications to look down on ghosts!
After adjusting his mentality, Shinji looked at Ghost Mom, and his face became a little more solemn.
The chakra flowing on the silk thread before, he was still holding on to luck, hoping that it was escaping from the controlled Konoha ninja. But now after meeting the ghost mother, he had to admit that the ghost invading the ninja world in front of him already contained it in his body.
of chakra.
Just like he was learning the 'breathing technique', the ghosts that invaded the ninja world were also trying to master chakra.
Moreover, these ghosts also have a unique advantage, that is, they can savagely plunder chakra by devouring people in the ninja world and absorbing their flesh and blood.
Across the way, Ghost Mom didn't expect Shinji to find her so quickly, so she was stunned for a while when Shinji observed her.
However, she quickly reacted and mobilized all the Konoha ninjas controlled by her to surround Shinji: "Go to hell!"
Instantly.
The seven Konoha ninjas were in involuntary panic and controlled by silk threads to attack Shinji.
"Full focus!"
Shinji suddenly erupted with a 'bang' sound, stamping a crack on the ground, and like an arrow from a string, he passed through the surroundings of seven Konoha ninjas.
brush...
Then the kunai in his hand drew an arc in mid-air, accurately cutting off the threads controlling the seven Konoha ninja behind them.
The seven Konoha ninjas who were instantly freed were all startled, and subconsciously turned back to look at Shinji.
Shinji glanced at them lightly.
Puff puff!
In an instant, there were sounds of falling to the ground one after another.
The seven Konoha ninjas, who had been tortured by the ghost mother and were exhausted, were hypnotized by Shinji's illusion the moment their eyes met, and fell to the ground unconscious.
"What's going on with these people?!"
The ghost mother was startled for a moment, her face full of disbelief.
She could never understand why seven swordsmen who seemed to her to be quite powerful fell into a coma with just a casual glance from Shinji.
At this time.
Shinji's eyes, filled with enchanting light, slowly moved towards Ghost Mom: "Hey, it's your turn!"
