Chapter 13: Encounter in the Woods

Ice Escape: Ice Claireye!

The effect is similar to the ninjutsu 'Third Eye' of Iara.

Use sand to turn into an eye to scout somewhere else, and then transmit the visual image to the eye that the body holds with its hand.

And the Ice Clairvoyant is a little more practical than my Airo's third eye.

After all, the clairvoyance of ice can be cast as long as it condenses water molecules in the air.

In other words, as long as Xia Yan's gaze goes, it can be displayed.

Outside the clearing, next to a tree a little closer, a faint eye with a hint of cold air appeared.

These eyes are rather strange, no different from human eyes.

The black pupils turned slightly.

The ninja forehead pattern is clearly visible underneath.

Behind a tree a few dozen meters away from the group of ninjas, Natsuhiko let go of the hand covering his left eye.

Sure enough, it's a ninja from Sand Hidden Village.

Xia Yan lifted the ice clairvoyance and quickly chose a direction to slip away.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, in case it is discovered by those sand ninjas, it will be over.

Carefully bypassing this group of ninjas, Natsuhiko also understood where he was.

This group of sand hidden ninjas had a scroll in their mouths one by one, and it was obviously the psychic team in the original book who planned to summon psychic beasts to attack Konoha Village.

After carefully reviewing the plot homework, he naturally will not be mistaken.

He was in the woods outside Konoha Village at the moment.

Bypassing the dangerous group of sand ninjas, Natsuhiko found a bush of dense grass and sat down, and immediately muttered.

Since the Sand Hidden Ninja hasn't invaded Konoha Village yet, how can he infiltrate Konoha Village?

Konoha Village is heavily guarded, and there must be a lot of Konoha ninjas patrolling, so it may not be easy for him to sneak in.

He had just glanced at the sky with his ice clairvoyance, and the tall wall alone was a wall that was hard to cross.

Strictly speaking, he is not a ninja, but because he has the Ice Escape Blood Limit, he has some more means than ordinary people.

That's the trouble.

Do I have to wait until they attack Konoha Village, and I'm following the gap they opened into Konoha Village?

As soon as this thought flashed through Xia Yan's mind, an exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Don't let it run!"

"Don't let go!"

Xia Yan's body stiffened, anyone?

He immediately became vigilant, and was carefully pushing away the grass when he saw a black shadow attacking him.

"it!"

Frozen!

Xia Yan was startled, but his reaction was not slow, and he instantly froze the black shadow that rushed towards the door.

Smack.

Ice cubes gurgled and fell to the ground.

Xia Yan still looked down in surprise.

It turned out to be an orange cat!

Xia Yan picked up the ice cube and looked at it, and the orange cat still had a vivid look of fear.

"Who?"

Xia Yan grabbed the ice cube and vigilantly leaned his back against the tree, staring at the grass deadly.

Phew.

Two men emerged from the half-human-tall bushes.

It turned out to be two imps from Konoha Village.

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the shape of their forehead guards.

These two imps don't look to be more than 12 years old, and they should be ninja school graduates who are a few years behind Naruto.

Xia Yan looked at these two little ghosts and thought secretly.

Whew!

Two more figures flashed and landed beside the two imps.

Xia Yan looked at it quietly.

Another little ghost, with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man glanced at the ice cube in Xia Yan's hand, and the look of shock flashed in his eyes.

'Ice? ’

He was a civilian ninja, and it was normal for him not to recognize the Ice Escape Blood Inheritance Limit.

It's just a little curious.

I've never seen this kid wear.

While Xia Yan was looking at them, the middle-aged man was also looking at him.

"Hello, this orange cat is our mission, can you please hand over the orange cat to us?"

What appeared with the middle-aged man was a cute little girl.

"Absolutely."

Xia Yan smiled and lifted the ice, pinched the neck of the frozen orange cat and handed it to the little girl.

In addition to the little girls being very polite, he also had the intention of relying on them to sneak into Konoha Village.

Xia Yan's eyes moved, looked at their leader and said; "Are you ninjas from Konoha Village?"

"What's the matter with you?"

The middle-aged man nodded, puzzled.

Xia Yan scratched his head embarrassedly and said:

"I came to Konoha Village specifically to see the prosperity of Konoha Village, but unfortunately I got lost, I don't know if I can let me go with you?"

The middle-aged man was a little surprised, he could still get lost?

He didn't have much else to think about, though, because he didn't feel the chakra in this person, and it looked like an ordinary person, except for the strange lump of ice.

"Yes, we are going back to the village, so you can come with us!"

"Thank you, thank you."

On the way back to Konoha Village, Natsuhiko also learned the names of the four of them.

The middle-aged man is called Tsukasa Noda, who is their leading teacher, the little girl is called Ayako, and the other two boys, the flat-headed one is called Koike Shuhei, and the one with some unkempt hair is called Hideki Takano.

"Xia Yan, where are you from?"

Hideki Takano is a talker, and he hasn't stopped along the way.

"A village quite far from Konoha Village."

Xia Yan said perfunctorily.

Compared to Hideki Takano, his two companions were much quieter than him.

"Hidden!"

Suddenly.

A few people's ears heard the soft shout of Noda Division.

Xia Yan turned his head to look, and saw that Noh Tian Tsukashi had a solemn face.

"Hide."

Seeing that a few people didn't move, Noda Si urged again.

Natsuhiko immediately followed Tsukasa Noda into a group of dense grasses, and the three of them also woke up from a dream and got into the grass.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

Xia Yan glanced slightly, and the three children looked nervous.

In contrast, he was also a little nervous.

Could it be the ninja of the sand hide?

"Shhhh

Noda said solemnly.

The grass immediately fell silent.

Xia Yan's eyes flashed, if he was discovered, he could only leave these people and run away.

Hideki Takano, Ayako and Koike didn't dare to breathe, it was the first time they had seen the teacher's serious appearance.

This made them nervous and at the same time extremely curious.

What's going on?

At this moment, several figures appeared where they had just been.

Through the gap between the grasses, Natsuhiko swept away at a glance, 6 ninjas of Otoin Village! One more person than them.

I just don't know what level these sound ninjas are.

Noda Tsukasa was also shocked to see these six people, and it was obvious that he also recognized the origin of these ninjas from the shape of their forehead guards.

How could there be a ninja from Otokure Village outside the village?

Instinctively sensing that something was wrong, Noda Tsukasa didn't show up with a few people.

"Meow."

At this moment, the orange cat who was being held by Caieko suddenly meowed, Caikeiko's face changed, and she quickly covered the orange cat's mouth.
