In the dense forest on both sides of the narrow road in the valley, an unkempt and ugly-looking corpse lay on its back on the ground.

The image of this corpse is really the most ugly instinct for human beings, even if it is dead, it will show the ugliest image of itself.

The human-like creature is covered in brown hair, but the back and foreheart are particularly dense and lush.

A brown furry patch on his chest was stained with blood, and the upper and lower jaws protruding forward were slightly open, revealing beast-like fangs.

Turning his gaze to the humanoid creature's hand, I saw that the creature's hand was not a human-like five-fingered one, but an animal-like three-toed one.

All three toes are thick, and each toe has razor-sharp nails that are covered in black sludge between the nails, which looks disgusting.

"This thing... Is it human? ”

"It's hard to say..."

[Get 370 shiver points from Ito Instinct!] 】

The ninjas standing on the side couldn't bear to blame humans for the ugly-looking creature, but the creature was still wearing a combination of animal fur and rags that only intelligent beings would wear out of shame.

Kakashi, on the other hand, stood in front of the corpse and stared at it for a long time, a strange look gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Did you find any other bodies besides this?"

"Not yet, but we've found a lot of footprints and bloodstains nearby, which should have been left by this guy's kind."

Kakashi listened to the ninja's report and fell into deep thought.

The country of the north is said to be a country, but in fact there is no center of power, and the so-called north country is just a general summary of this wild land by the outside world.

And even Kakashi, who is well-informed, has never come to this country, let alone seen what the people in this country are like.

Is this what people in this country look like?

Kakashi was puzzled, but the strange feeling that came to his mind made Kakashi feel the feeling of being in contact with strange creatures several times before.

This feeling made Kakashi vaguely feel that the existence of these creatures was not simple.

"Send this corpse back to Konoha Village for research first."

"Yes!"

The two ninjas picked up the suspicious corpse in body bags and left the way they had come.

At this time, Akai stepped forward and asked, "What should we do now?" ”

"Hmm...," Kakashi groaned and said, "Judging from the situation at the scene, it should be that the undead legion of the Dragons clashed with the local creatures of the North Country, so the Dragons gave up the Undead Legions. ”

"Is it possible that the Spirits have given up on the Undead Legion?"

Kakashi's statement made Akai a little puzzled, because the Spirit's ability is mainly to control these Terracotta Warriors and Horses as puppets, and the Dragon's not using the Undead Legion is like he Maitkai does not use physical arts, and it is completely an act of cutting off his own arm.

However, Kakashi affirmed in a firm tone, "This is very likely, because the mountainous terrain of Kitanokuni is not conducive to the march of large armies, and if you continue to march with the undead legions, it will greatly delay the speed of the march." ”

"But this shows that the place where the dragon is going is in the northern country, and the dragon is very eager to go there now, but I can't guess where the dragon is going to the northern country for the time being."

Hearing this, Akai nodded, "Now the dragons have changed to small movements, and there are no reliable maps in the dense forested mountains, so it is not conducive to our tracking." ”

"Then we have to track it down, and although the Spirits are now almost at odds with the Flesh in the Underground Ancestral Hall in the Swamp Country, I always feel that the Dragons have a bigger conspiracy."

"Everybody's on orders!"

Kakashi suddenly shouted, and the twenty or so ninjas who were still searching around immediately looked up to listen to the commander-in-chief's order.

"Everyone was divided into teams of two, and this place was used as the starting point to search at an angle of 180 degrees due north."

"If you find out about the movement of the dragon and send someone back here to report it immediately, remember not to attack without permission."

"Yes!"

At Kakashi's command, the ninjas present began to form a team tacitly, planning the direction of their search among themselves, and heading towards the dense forest.

And just as the folding mirror was about to pull a random person around to form a team together, Kakashi stopped the folding mirror.

"Folding mirror, you don't have to go out to search first, it's okay for you, me, and Akai to stay here."

"Kakashi, aren't we going out and searching for the Spirits?" Akai wondered.

"Once the other teams that have gone out to search have news, when they send people back here to report, they must ensure that the people who remain here have enough strength to achieve the effect of support."

"And since the Spirits have left the undead legions here, they will also come back sooner or later to retrieve these undead legions, so from this point of view, the people who stay here also need to have enough strength."

After Kakashi finished explaining to Akai, he turned his head to look at the folding mirror and said meaningfully, "I can see that the folding mirror, in fact, you have been hiding your strength, right?" ”

"Huh? What are you talking about, Kakashi-senpai? ”

Origami tried to pretend to be stupid, but Kakashi turned his gaze to the side and continued in a seemingly nonchalant tone, "Actually, I've been vaguely aware of it since that Uchiha Itachi returned to Konoha Village. ”

"I used to work with Uchiha Itachi when I was in the dark department, Uchiha Itachi is a well-deserved genius of the Uchiha clan, and you can resist Uchiha Itachi when Uchiha Itachi returns to the village without being injured a little, which means that your strength will not be too inferior to Uchiha Itachi."

"And you and Uchiha Itachi were the only two people who were allowed to graduate from the ninja school ahead of schedule, so they shouldn't be as ordinary as they are now."

In fact, after the incident of Uchiha Itachi returning to the village, Kakashi secretly investigated the moonlight folding mirror.

This check doesn't matter, Kakashi unexpectedly found that the task completion rate of the Moonlight Folding Mirror over the years has turned out to be 100%, and he has never missed.

And many years ago, when Origami and Uchiha Itachi were in charge of the current ninja under the Shinobi of the Upper Ninja Water Moonless, there was a mission that performed very well.

That mission to escort Gongjin almost killed even Shinobi Mizuki Wuyue, and Uchiha Itachi and Utsuki Yuyan also lost their combat effectiveness, but the folding mirror was able to repel the enemy alone, which is very intriguing.

It's just that in the bloodline examination, the body of the folding mirror did not find any possibility of blood inheritance limit.

In addition, in the summary of each task of Folding Mirror, it is emphasized that it is the strength of the team to complete it together, so Folding Mirror has not been promoted higher.

In fact, the folding mirror is only eighteen years old now, and the eighteen-year-old Nakashinobi is not mediocre, just the average level of Konoha Village.

But Kakashi knew that the strength of the folding mirror was definitely more than that.

However, as for the reason for the hidden strength of the folding mirror, Kakashi did not imagine the bad side.

Indifferent to fame and fortune, humble to teammates, modest and cautious, perhaps these are the reasons why folding glasses hide their strength.

After all, in Konoha Village, there is a precedent for the strongest Shinomaru Hoshikosuke.

Although he has been a shinobi all his life, Kakashi also knows that this shinobi has a lot of background, and he has learned all the ninjutsu of several Konoha Hokages, and his real strength is no less than that of the elite Shinobi.

So Kakashi decided to respect Origamu's decision and leave this hidden trump card for Konoha Village, using the power of Origuejing only when necessary, such as this time.
