Late at night.

Shinji, who was heavily armed in the apartment, was quietly waiting.

Unlike last night, tonight he is no longer excited and eager, but calm and introverted.

[Prepare for the invasion...]

A mysterious voice rang in his ears as expected.

"Whew..."

Exhaling, he put on his mask.

The next moment, with a 'bang', his figure disappeared into the apartment.

......

When he came back to his senses, Shinji found himself at the foot of a large mountain.

"Where is this?"

He looked around.

What caught his eye was a big mountain that stretched for dozens of miles, but it looked very strange 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 in the Fire Country.

"Clearance is still too low..."

He sighed secretly.

If he was now the official 'lantern bearer' in the ninja world, he would probably not be as blind as he is now, and there would be no information at all.

Putting this thought away, he looked back at the mountain in front of him.

The feeling that this mountain gives him is one word, quiet!

Standing in the night, it resembles a giant monster that is holding its breath, waiting for its prey to come to its door.

"Why don't you come back another day?"

Shinji played a joke on himself to relieve his nervousness, and then jumped and sped away towards the mountain.

Entering the mountain, Shinji, who was shuttling through the mountains and forests, felt more and more that something was wrong.

Even in the middle of the night, in the mountains with such dense vegetation, there should have been at least some insects and birds, but now it is too quiet.

Swish...

Suddenly, a dark shadow pounced out of the darkness.

Shinji, who had already opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel, immediately discovered the other party, and took out a kunai from the ninja bag on his waist with his right hand and greeted him.

Boom!

A piercing metal clash echoed through the dark and quiet mountain forest.

Blocking the opponent's attack, Shinji, who jumped backwards, found that the attack was actually a ninja wearing a Konoha forehead guard.

"Konoha Ninja... Wrong! ”

In a split second, he saw the problem.

The Konoha ninja who attacked him had a frightened expression, not like a sneak attacker at all, and his body was connected with chakra silk threads, and the other end of the silk thread stretched into the depths of the mountain forest.

When ordinary people encounter this kind of scene, they may feel frightened, and thus chaos.

But for the Hitomi Blood Ninja, the silk thread hidden in the shadows is clearly visible, and the chakra flowing on it even directly points out the true location of the enemy to the Hitomi Blood Ninja.

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost!"

Shinji snorted lightly, ignoring the Konoha ninja who was being manipulated, staring directly at the silk thread of the flowing chakra, and rushed into the forest.

The other party's methods are a bit like those of the sand and the puppeteer, but he quickly ruled out this possibility, because the puppeteer should not be able to move so far from the puppet being manipulated.

In addition, this time it was to meet the invasion, so he vaguely guessed who was on the other end of the silk thread.

With the blessing of the 'breathing method', he was very fast, and the dark jungle could not cause any obstacles in front of his kaleidoscope writing wheel.

Moment.

He scurried out of the woods and into an open field, and then the scene in front of him made his expression change.

The owner of the silk thread did not surprise him, and it was indeed the ghost mother of the white-haired and white-robed Natian Spider Mountain Ghost family that he had guessed earlier.

It's just that he didn't expect that there were seven Konoha ninjas here who were manipulated by the other party, like puppets, guarding each other's surroundings.

"Counting just now, there are a total of eight Konoha ninjas, a full two squads..."

With so many Konoha ninjas planted in the hands of the other party, Shinji was really a little surprised.

But on second thought, it's not surprising that ordinary ninjas are killed by the oni at first sight without understanding the characteristics of the ghosts.

What's more, the strength of ordinary ninjas is not necessarily as strong as the top swordsmen who have mastered the 'breathing method' in Demon Slayer.

You must know that the samurai of the Iron Country, without knowing how to use ninjutsu, have also gained a foothold in the ninja world with their sharp sword skills and tenacious will.

And among ninjas, even if it is a ninja, or even a shadow-level powerhouse, a slight negligence may easily bury their lives.

For example, the three generations of Wind Shadow, known as the strongest Wind Shadow, were plotted by the scorpion and died unexplained, and in the end, even the corpse was made into a human puppet.

The real horror of the ninja world is the high ceiling.

The top combat power can cut the moon with a sword and cross the galaxy!

Of course.

With this kind of strength, it is extremely rare in the ninja world.

There are more ninjas in the ninja world, or ordinary ninjas who fight through kunai and detonation charms, and these ninjas, including Shinji, are actually not qualified to despise ghosts!

After adjusting his mentality, Shinji glanced at the ghost mother, and his face became a little more solemn.

The chakra that flowed on the silk thread before, he was still holding on to luck, hoping that it was escaped from the manipulated Konoha ninja. But after seeing the ghost mother at this moment, he had to admit that the ghost in front of him who had invaded the ninja world already contained chakra in his body.

Just like he was learning the 'breathing method', the ghosts who invaded the ninja world were also trying to master the chakra.

And these ghosts also have a unique advantage, that is, they can savagely plunder Chakra by devouring the people of the ninja world and absorbing flesh and blood.

On the other side, the ghost mother didn't expect Shinji to find herself so quickly, so when Shinji observed her, she was also stunned for a while.

However, she quickly reacted and urged all the Konoha ninjas controlled by her to besiege Shinji: "Die!" ”

Instantly.

Seven Konoha ninjas were involuntarily frightened and were manipulated by silk threads to attack Shinji.

"All in one!"

Shinji suddenly erupted with a 'bang', stepping on a crack on the ground, and the whole person was like an arrow from the string, passing through the encirclement of the seven Konoha ninjas.

Brush...

Then the kunai in his hand slashed an arc in mid-air, accurately severing the silk threads behind the seven Konoha ninjas who controlled them together.

The seven Konoha ninjas who got out of trouble in an instant were all taken aback, and subconsciously looked back at Shinji.

Shinji glanced at them faintly.

Puff puff!

In an instant, the sound of falling to the ground sounded one after another.

Seven exhausted Konoha ninjas, who had been tortured by their ghost mothers, 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 stunned for a moment, her face full of incredulity.

She couldn't figure out why Shinji just glanced at it casually, and seven swordsmen who seemed to her to be quite good passed out.

Then.

Shinji's gaze, which shone with a strange light, slowly moved to the ghost mother: "Hey, it's your turn!" ”
