In the world of ninjas, in addition to the powerful ninjutsu and blood inheritance boundaries, the most eye-catching thing is the giant psychic beast with the destructive power of A-level ninjutsu.

There is also a saying in this world that ants bite elephants to death, but their large size has great advantages, such as those most powerful and terrifying beings in ancient times, tailed beasts, whose abilities were first known.

But in addition, all kinds of large psychic beasts are also the objects of competition among various forces.

It's a pity that there are very few giant psychic beasts, and the most famous is the three psychic beasts of Konoha Sannin: Ten Thousand Snakes, Toad Wentai, and Slug.

At the time when the Five Great Powers were dividing up their powers, the Sand Ninja Village had already captured a Tailed Beast, so after rejecting the proposal of the first Hokage to distribute the Tailed Beast, he received a large territory as compensation. It was this choice of the first Kazekage, the Land of the Wind had the most extensive territory of the five major powers, and a huge strategic depth.

In the same way, the vastness of the territory means a huge coastline, but the power of the Tsuru is destined not to be displayed on the ocean, so they have been trying to find a way to completely master the waterfront of the Wind Country for a long time.

On the map, there is no country on the map that can compare to the coastline of the Land of Wind, except for the Land of Thunder on the peninsula. You must know that Wuyin Village, a country of water overseas, only has one head and three tails as a deterrent.

If there is a tail on the land of Sand Ninja Village as a deterrent, and then there are powerful psychic beasts patrolling the ocean, it will definitely win a lot of benefits for them.

The four countries of the Land of Fire, the Land of the River, the Land of Tea, and the Land of the Wind share a common inland sea, similar to the Gulf of Aden on Earth, and the outlet of the bay is guarded by the Land of Tea and the Land of the Wind.

However, the Land of the Wind is a big country, and if it weren't for the Land of Fire standing behind the Land of Tea, this place would definitely not have anything to do with them.

Further down from the bay are several island nations, which are small but have considerable interests. Here, even the smallest country is two to three times larger than the country of waves, and most importantly, the country of the sea, which is no smaller than the country of water.

It is sparsely populated but rich in products, and because it is too far from the mainland, the Fire Nation has little control over it.

Many of the hybrid toxins used by the puppeteers came from the Ninja Continent, but the reason why the poison antidote was mutually reinforcing made it possible for excellent medical ninjas to find an antidote to restrain this type of poison in their homeland, so later, some people gradually turned their attention here. In the plan, this sea area is the logistics supply base of the Wind Country.

If they can control a powerful sea psychic beast, they will definitely strengthen the already solid sea supply line, thus strengthening their own strength.

It took Kai and the others four days to finally come to the junction of the country of rivers and the country of wind.

There is a shop owned by a husband and wife in the Land of Fire in this town, they have three children, a man and two girls, and they are usually responsible for transmitting the news back to Konoha that they heard.

In fact, there are still a few people in the town who do the same thing as them, but some unimportant news are in charge of them, and the others are in a "latent" state, if Konoha doesn't come to wake them up, these people will be "sleeping" forever.

The four of them booked four rooms in the store, and the news passed on was mostly rumors, and they needed further confirmation after arriving here, so the time was given to Konoha for more than a month.

In Jian Ying's opinion, Konoha would not just send them out, if the Sand Hidden Village was really capturing the giant psychic beasts, the event level would not be an ordinary S-rank. For such an important matter, only arranging them, even if there is Teacher Kai, Jian Ying feels unreliable.

Come to think of it, there must be shadows around them.

These things have nothing to do with him, even if Jian Ying thinks about it, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

After the exam last year, returning to the scattered tasks performed by Konoha and returning to the sporadic tasks carried out by Yanagi Sword Shadow, Yanagi Sword Shadow provided more than forty points of energy for the Blood Essence Stone.

Up to now, the energy points of the Blood Essence Stone have been one hundred and two, and this value is not a big help to the Sword Shadow. Let him at least split fifty or sixty shadow clones to keep them for a whole day, and after the shadow clones return to their bodies after exhaustion, it only takes half an hour to recover their strength and energy.

In the eyes of outsiders, the performance of the sword shadow is so amazing: the use of ninja equipment is only one step behind Uchiha Itachi; The use of fire escape is also the same as that of the ferret; Illusion and perception ability can be compared to Uchiha Itachi who did not open the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

The only people who can compare Uchiha Itachi with the traitor now are the three generations of Konoha and the group who know the whole story.

In short, the two of them are very optimistic about Sword Shadow, this is not only relying on talent and strength, but also the relatives and elders of Sword Shadow also account for a large score, who can unite around Konoha more than him!

Compared with the relationship of the three generations, Tuan Zang is more concerned about the physique of Yanagi Sword Shadow, and he wants to know how this person who wants blood to succeed without blood and has no family strength has grown up. He even offered to have Yagyu Kenkage's body analyzed and examined, but was suppressed by the three generations, and later quarreled over it.

Later, that is, last year, the three of Sword Shadow failed to pass the first stage of the middle ninja exam, and those achievements were quickly submerged in everyone's eyes.

Sword Shadow was so desperate that they gave another explanation - because the previous defeat hit him too hard, everything he did now was to attract the attention of others. In this regard, Yanagi Jianying has no defense, he is not good at it, and he feels that it is unnecessary, in a world with a power system of one person against one country, what can prove himself better than strong strength?

"Although the country of the river is adjacent to the country of the wind, there is a big difference between the two."

With river valleys on one side and deserts on the other, the sword shadow shows the scene of the east and west coasts of southern Africa in the past life: the east coast of southern Africa, due to the warm current passing by the coastline, a large amount of seawater is evaporated into the air, so that there is sufficient rainfall here, bringing vitality to human beings; On the west coast, on the other hand, the warm current is almost stagnant, and the cold water at the bottom of the ocean spreads close to the coastline and spreads to the surface, not only reducing the moisture in the air, but also condensing a large amount of water that should be in the air, and in this land, the water is mostly in the form of fog, which makes it a desert even near the ocean.

Kenkage is not an expert in geography, and although he understands that the situation in the Land of the Wind is likely related to the towering mountains of the Land of Earth to the north, he does not delve into it, and only sighs about the scene in his spare time.

Because of this terrain, they can hide their bodies well in the vicinity of the Kawanokuni near the territory of the Wind Country, and once they cross this area, it is easy for both sides to spot each other within visual distance.

The perception distance of the sword shadow has increased, but it can not be increased much, only less than one and a half kilometers, and in the flat savanna, it is difficult to avoid the observation of those who have a heart.

Unlike the Middle Ninja Exam, several people also represent the power of the Fire Country, but now once they step into the Land of the Wind Country, they will not be treated indifferently, but the attitude of the invaders.

And the ninja on the other side is not the lower ninja during the middle ninja exam, and every ninja deployed here has a wealth of combat experience.

The Fire Country Konoha Hidden Village, it puts too much pressure on the neighbors, even if the three generations implement a soft policy, it can't make others feel at ease, not to mention that there are "roots" hidden in the dark to stir up trouble in the corners.

"It's not the way to keep looking for a needle in a haystack, teacher, or let's separate. This gives you a better chance of finding the target. "For five days in a row, the four of them didn't find Sand Shinobi and suspicious objects in the land and sea, and Kenkage put forward his opinion.

Mike Kay quickly agreed, if they couldn't find out about the situation within a month, they would have to withdraw, since the giant shark could travel thousands of miles, maybe it would have left the neighborhood sooner.

"That's good. Aoika and I are in a team, and you and Nagata are in a team. In the afternoon, the two of you will observe on land, and if you spot the action of the brigade of sand ninjas, observe as much as you can without revealing yourself. ”

Nagata and Kenkage nodded, more than a dozen mission exercises, the results were gratifying, and the two teenagers whose minds were already more mature than their peers moved forward at a fast speed towards the mentality that a ninja should have.

Time passed day by day, and half a month later, the fourth class still did not find anything useful in this land.

Soldiers guarding the checkpoint and patrolling sand shinobi can be seen along the border of Kawanokuni, but nothing else can be found.

"Nagata, look over there." At noon, the sword shadow hanging upside down on the tree saw a figure in the distance and casually shouted that the reason why he called Nagata was to confirm his discovery.

Nagata is lying under the tree, probably because he feels that he has grown up, and it is rare to see him eating snacks anymore.

Hearing the sword shadow call himself, he got up, jumped up the tree, and stood on top of the sword shadow hanging upside down. "You're talking about that person? What happened to him! Nagata looked at the figure in the distance and didn't think anything was strange. Because it's too far away, it's impossible to see the person's face clearly, and you can only see the general outline, but because I've been watching nearby for more than ten days, Nagata has seen each other more than once, so I'm still a little impressed.

The sword shadow turned over from the upside-down state and landed beside Nagata, and said seriously and seriously, "His chakra consumption is very large, and if there is no battle, he is in a hurry. ”

"Hurry?" This position does not tell whether or not the opponent has experienced a battle from the outfit, and Nagata focuses on the words that follow. "You think he rushed back? Why, just to show us that he will come here on time? ”

Looking at Nagata's puzzled gaze and suspicious glances around, Jian Ying felt amused, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry about us being watched." If you can really draw attention to us, with that person's ability, it will be easy for us to solve it quietly. If you want to know if it's true, just go somewhere else to get evidence. ”

He jumped down from a tree and lay down in the grass on the downhill section.

Ninjutsu: The technique of multiple shadow clones.

In an instant, more than fifty sword shadows appeared beside him, and the main body didn't even need to give orders, and they all scattered and rushed towards the destination for verification.

He could withstand the impact of fifty shadow clones being exhausted and then lifting the impact of the clones at the same time, and it was naturally easy to use dozens of shadow clones to scout the environment.

When Konoha was cultivating, he would divide more than a hundred clones to increase his cultivation progress.

I asked for a few water escape ninjutsu sword shadows from the three generations of Hokage and can already use them, but the sealing speed is slow, and it's okay to deal with the general lower ninja, if it is a fight with a strength similar to his own, using water escape ninjutsu is to leave obvious flaws for the opponent to pick up leaks.

Meeting Nagata's gaze, Kenkage explained, "He's not the only ninja around here, I just need to go to other places to sense those people's chakras, so I can know if this is an exception or a rule." If it's just an isolated case, it might really be this kid's own problem; But if it's the norm, hehe, we'll have to go back and report to Mr. Kai. ”

"Oh. I know, though, how do they know we're here? ”

"They don't know either." Sword Shadow shook his head and said to him, "It's just that they know that there must be people watching them nearby, and in order not to make more people suspicious, they must act like usual." ”

Nagata is not stupid, he just doesn't want to think about it, he already understands that the seemingly calm line of defense is likely to be a taut string. "I have a premonition of the sword shadow, maybe you said it."

In fact, as Nagata said, the shadow clone encountered six sand ninjas, four of whom had a heavy chakra consumption. Unable to infiltrate enemy territory, they retreated, ready to tell Mike Kay the news.

Mike Kay patrols the sea with Aoika, and unlike on land, it is impossible for ninjas to step on the sea at other times except when they are fighting. Don't look at the unobstructed view of the sea, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, just the undulating waves are enough for people who have never been to the sea to drink a pot.

These days, Kai's group is the same as Sword Shadow, there is no harvest, and today is the same again, but when he returned to the port, he listened to the complaints of the fishermen of a fishing boat that came back. It was said that the sand ninja had sealed/locked a piece of the sea and prevented them from going there to fish.

Ninjas are still a deterrent in the eyes of ordinary people, and they can be ashamed to do things with ninjas who go out on missions, except for those who sit in the well and watch the sky, that is, those who have other purposes. But no matter which one it is, as long as it is not a ninja with the plot of the Holy Mother, he will not hesitate to teach them a lesson, and even take the lives of these people.

So although the fishermen complained, they didn't dare to say anything excessive, this town was too close to the Land of Wind, even if the Land of Fire was their suzerain, and Sand Shinobi had a high status in the hearts of the locals.

Kenkage went back and told Mike Kay what he had seen and what he had analyzed. It just so happened that Kai also got the unexpected news at the dock, and almost without analysis, several people determined that Sand Shinobi must have made some moves, and the only thing that couldn't be determined was how far Sand Ninja was from reaching his goal.

If the sand shinobi had already accomplished their purpose and started to retreat, their mission to the fourth squad would have failed.

"We're going to go deep into the Land of the Wind." Mike Kay puttered with his chin plowed, looking up and glaring over the three students in front of him.

Nagata is not a latent ninja and is not suitable for such a mission; Although Aoi Xiang is careful and has the ability to lat, she can already slightly converge the chakra after learning basic medical ninja, but her combat effectiveness is not strong, and once she is discovered by the enemy, it is difficult to bring out the information.

Mike Kay lowered his hand and spoke, "This time we are going to infiltrate the Land of Wind, Nagata and Aoika, and you two will be in the back, on the one hand, to support us when we retreat, and on the other hand, to attract the attention of the enemy. Although you and Jian Ying are well hidden, after all, it's been half a month, and the person on the other side can't be a fool, and he must have discovered you. ”

“…… Be. Nagata wanted to say that he would go with him, but in the end he accepted the task with Aoika.

"Sword Shadow."

Sword Shadow stepped forward and responded, "Understood." ”

As a result, the two sides will be separated again, and Sword Shadow and Mike Kay will sneak into the Land of Wind from both directions to find out what caused what happened on the other side before.

In fact, as an ally, there are many places in the Land of Wind where Konoha ninjas can go deep, but most of these places are deserts, sparsely populated, and the living environment is very harsh. And the oasis and the area that can be cultivated, whether it is the soldiers of the Land of Wind or the ninjas of the Sand Ninja Village, the attitude towards Konoha is only slightly better than that of the enemy.

In the eyes of Jian Ying, the Sand Ninja Village has taken advantage of this clause, although the outside world seems to be embarrassed - its own land actually allows people from other countries to come and go at will, but the reality is that these places are tasteless and abandoned, anyway, those places still belong to the Land of Wind.

Moreover, unlike the Fire Country where Konoha is located, the Land of Wind is too large, and it often takes ten days and a half months or even longer to remove the robbers entrenched in the desert, and they also have to take care of the northern, northwestern, and western regions where the living environment is relatively golden, and they are happy to let Konoha come over to clean up the worms in these locations.

Concealment requires skill, and Sword Shadow has been aware of this knowledge since he was a child, so even if he didn't use ninjutsu that can increase concealment, he still entered the Land of Wind at three or four o'clock in the morning the next day, and condescendingly observed a sand ninja camp that he found, as for the sand ninja sentry guards on the high ground, he may have been overconfident in his ability and didn't notice the existence of Sword Shadow at all.

Looking at the sand ninja guard hiding in the shadows, Yanagi Sword Shadow felt uneasy, the sand ninja camp was very cleverly arranged, and he could sneak in, it was a matter of time, but it should definitely not be so easy. The only explanation is that the elite of the sand ninja is not in the camp, where did they go?

At the same time, Yagyu Kenkage thought of the blood inheritance boundary that existed in Konoha and the white eyes of the Hyuga family. If it's the Hyuga clan who is guarding here, even if he just graduates and shinobi, even if he has great ability, he won't want to come in.

"Although the power of the writing wheel eye in the anime is much stronger than that of the white eye, when it comes to detection, the ability of the white eye is really more powerful than the radar."

Sword Shadow doesn't like killing, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like chasing power, and if there is an opportunity to transplant a writing wheel eye or even a white eye, he won't refuse. It's a pity that the Uchiha clan has been wiped out, and the white eyes are even more impossible, even if they risk being hunted down by Konoha and the Hyuga family, they may not be able to get the white eyes that can be used.
