Ghost Lantern City is a prison for criminal ninjas created by a number of countries jointly commissioned by the country of grass, and its original architectural design was planned according to the fortress city, with heavy security and sufficient troops, so the upper echelons of the grass ninja village will rest assured that the human pillar force of the seven-tailed Shigeaki will be placed here, coupled with the additional troops of Konoha and the army, it is the most difficult city to be conquered in the country of grass.

As a huge prison, it is a place where a large number of members of the Grass Country Revolutionary Army are naturally imprisoned, and they are tortured here day after day. Before Chen Lu took control of the revolutionary army, they had tried countless times to rescue the arrested members from the Ghost Lantern City, but the prison robbery team was often destroyed by the organs or guards before they came to the outer wall, and it can be said that they had never seen any hope.

Therefore, when Chen Lu manipulated the leaders of the revolutionary army to shout the slogan of capturing Ghost Lantern City, except for those whose confidence skyrocketed because of the resistance of the Zerg, more members were still afraid of running into a wall again in Ghost Lantern City. The Zerg psychic contract allowed them to go into battle without having to risk their lives before they were willing to carry out this crazy plan.

Now serving as the lord of Ghost Lantern City is Hua Bing, a ninja from Grass Ninja Village, who has always been in charge of the affairs and decisions of Ghost Lantern City. But after the Konoha support force was stationed here, her position as the lord of the castle was continuously threatened by these great ninjas. Right now, the leader of the Konoha support force, Nara Shikamaru, was sitting in her castle lord's office, giving orders to her as if her superiors were arranging a mission.

"Recently, the rebel groups calling themselves the Revolutionary Army are engaged in a massive build-up of members, and their movements have become noticeably much more active after obtaining a strange psychic beast. I suspect their next target will be the prison city that houses a large number of their members, so please remind the guards to be vigilant and on guard lately. ”

For Shikamaru's arbitrary speculation that Hua Bing had actually always scoffed, she sneered directly, "With all due respect, Hokage-sama. Those miscellaneous pieces are wiser than attacking Ghost Lantern City even if they attack Grass Ninja Village, they have harassed us many times and haven't even climbed over our outermost wall, can they still hope to forcibly break through here? ”

Shikamaru frowned and reminded, "Don't underestimate our enemies too much, the biggest enemies we've faced have always been those strange psychic beasts rather than their members themselves. Now that our Konoha science ninja class is studying the specific situation of these psychic beasts, we should be prepared for the worst before the full report comes out. ”

Hua Bing still waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Needless to say, the defense of our Ghost Lantern City has always been very stable, even if those so-called revolutionary troops are added with psychic beasts, it is impossible to break in, it has always been as usual." ”

Watching Hua Bing make a gesture to send off guests, Shikamaru understood that it was useless for him to say more, so he had to say goodbye to Hua Bing with a black face and leave the city lord's office. However, in order to avoid being isolated, he had urged Konoha to send reinforcements a few days ago to march with the goal of Ghost Lantern City first. In three days at most, a large number of Konoha elite ninjas will be stationed in Ghost Lantern City. At that time, this important prison city could be considered impregnable.

"According to the previous estimates, even the current Ghost Lantern City is unlikely to be strong enough for the revolutionary army to capture alone, so why is the other party's assembly site so close to here?" Shikamaru pondered as he walked around the Ghost Lantern City, and his experience told him that this place was about to be attacked, but judging from the difference in strength between the two sides, this was an extremely unconscionable move.

In short, out of the mentality of taking precautions, Shikamaru still called for reinforcements in advance, and tried to remind Hua Bing to be vigilant, but there was no way to convince the other party, after all, from the perspective of normal people, the revolutionary army really had no possibility of capturing Ghost Lantern City.

As Shikamaru struggled to move around, a Ghost Lantern City guard passed by with a new prisoner and a strange teenager. This would have been a very normal thing for Ghost Lantern City, where there were new prisoners almost every day, but the moment he passed by the combination of the prisoner and the boy, Shikamaru suddenly felt a sense of disobedience.

So he called out to the guard, who was leading the way, and asked him, "Where did these two men come from?" What is the crime? ”

The guard replied honestly, "It's a felony from Iwa Shinobi Village, who was escorted by the ninjas of Iwa Shinobi, and is now going to the registration room to register the records." ”

Shikamaru looked at the young man's left arm, there was indeed a shinobi forehead guard tied there, but the forehead guard was not very rare, so it could not be called conclusive evidence.

"So you are from the land of the earth. Did you change this outfit before entering the city? Shikamaru seemed to have sensed the source of this sense of disobedience, and asked as he looked up and down at the young man who called himself Iwa Shinobi.

"Yes." The boy replied briefly, not knowing which question he was answering.

However, Shikamaru didn't see a package from the boy's body where he could store his old clothes, so he continued to ask with interest, "Yes, then can I ask what is the most common natural phenomenon in your land country?" ”

A wry smile appeared on the boy's face when he was asked such a targeted question, and instead of continuing to answer Shikamaru's question, he glanced at the person next to him who was dressed as a prisoner.

In an instant, the two of them suddenly disappeared in front of the guards and Shikamaru, leaving not even a trace of smoke and dust in the whole process, it was just an afterimage that they had seen before.

"Staff Officer, ・・・・・・?" The guard who had just led the way for the two suspicious figures asked as he glared at Shikamaru in shock.

"Why are you still stunned, this place has been infiltrated, and the alarm will be sounded immediately!" Shikamaru ordered loudly.

Shikamaru's suspicion was actually hidden in his problem, the most common natural phenomenon in the land country is called "rock rain", which is an abnormal climate that blows through the mountains in the north and brings dust and small rocks, so travelers who pass through the land country will be covered in mud and dust almost no matter what. The clothes of the boy and the prisoner were not too new, but they were not stained with the marks peculiar to the land of earth, and they did not even bring a change of clothes.

As a result, Shikamaru can conclude that they are enemies trying to infiltrate Ghost Lantern City, and now they have only somehow escaped their pursuit.

Just as the guard who led the way came to the alarm button, the alarm suddenly erupted with a warning "woo".

"What's going on?" Shikamaru saw the guard's movements clearly, and he didn't sound the alarm!
