Chapter Twenty-Six: Shadow Attack in the Night! (Ask for follow-up, ask for a monthly pass)

"Are you saying that in the caravan, in addition to our ninjas in Konoha, there are two other ninjas?"

Nara Kano woke up from a nap and frowned slightly.

"One of them, or the leader of a small caravan?"

"Yes, Patriarch."

Nara Langui reported seriously.

"According to my observations, the spiritual energy contained in the brain of that leader is very powerful, and it is not lost to Brother Haiyi."

As the next patriarch of the Yamanaka clan, Yamanaka Haiyi has been refining the spiritual secret techniques inherited by his family for many years, and his spiritual energy is very huge, even if he is placed in the elite Shangninja, he is also a leader.

If the caravan leader had only a few traces of chakra movement in his body.

Nara Langui will not pay so much attention to it.

After all, in the current chaotic world, as a merchant leader, it is reasonable to learn one or two ninjutsu for self-defense.

But a little-known caravan leader, whose spiritual energy strength is comparable to the "pig in the mountain" in Konoha's contemporary pig deer butterfly?

In the ninja world, there may be many masters who are independent of the ninja village system, and their reputation is not as good as that of the elite ninjas in the ninja village.

But it is not so much that an elite ninja-level powerhouse can appear anywhere!

Therefore, as soon as he found out about the situation, Nara Langui interrupted his cultivation and came back to report the situation to the patriarch.

As for rushing directly and interrogating the other party......

Nara has not lost his mind and is reckless to this extent.

"It's very suspicious indeed."

Nara's brow furrowed even deeper, and several deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

The things he thought of at this moment were similar to those of Nara Langui.

If the caravan leader was just an ordinary person who had learned a little ninjutsu, Nara Shikano Kaiquan didn't see it.

Anyway, the task that Konoha received this time was just to escort a few small caravans to Kyoto, so there was no need to make any extraneous branches.

But the problem is that the strength level of the caravan leader is too high, and it is a little abnormally high!

The spiritual energy that can be compared to the elite Shangnin......

Coupled with the intelligence information of the bounty hunters who attacked the caravan when they left the village......

It didn't take much effort for Nara Shikano to be able to link the leader of the caravan named "Miya Castle Flame" with the identity of "the butcher of the Bloody Pond Clan".

This inference is not necessarily absolutely correct, but it cannot be denied that it is not unlikely!

If there is no aura of "slaughterer".

For everyone's sake, they live peacefully during the day.

Nara Kano still chose not to see anything, at most he secretly ordered everyone to strengthen the vigilance against the flames of the Imperial House.

But the negative aura effect of "Slaughterer" is too strong.

No matter how troublesome Nara Shikano is, he will not turn a blind eye to it.

The stakes are high, and Nara Kano doesn't want to act rashly.

"Lan Gui, how did you find out about his ninja identity?"

Nara Kano stroked his beard and carefully confirmed.

"Haiyi's perception chakra has also checked the caravan insiders more than once, but he has not found the slightest."

Nara's suspicions are legitimate.

Although he values the younger generation of the Nara Langui family, in the final analysis, the other party is just a shinobi who has left the village for the first time.

On the other hand, Yamanaka Haiyi, as one of the contemporary "pig deer butterflies", is powerful and experienced, especially good at spiritual perception.

"Maybe the caravan leader used some means to interfere with Big Brother Hai's perception."

Nara offered a possible guess as he took off his sunglasses and raised his [lacquered eyes].

"As for how I found out...... [Lacquer Eye] has the function of observing the flow of spiritual energy."

The ninja's mastery of the magic ability was originally top-secret information.

But since he had already planned to share the [Lacquer Eye] Technique Scroll with the family, Nara Langui naturally wouldn't deliberately cover up the information at this time.

'[Lacquer Eye] can also gain insight into spiritual energy? ’

Hearing this, Nara Shikano almost wrenched his goatee.

These eyes are really about to become the 'writing wheel eyes' of the Nara clan! ’

"Lan Gui, I suddenly regret that I didn't take the [Lacquer Eye] technique scroll from your hand before."

Nara Kano put down his hand and said with a complicated expression.

"These eyes are even more powerful than I imagined."

"I'm still the same attitude."

Nara replied meticulously.

"The patriarch can take that scroll from me at any time if he wishes.

"And to be honest, the current war is imminent, if the clansmen can learn [Paint Eye], it will definitely enhance their ability to survive on the battlefield."

As an A-level ninjutsu, the difficulty of learning [Lacquer Eye] is naturally extremely high.

But Nara believes that no "Nara slacker" can escape the allure of "Muji Ninjutsu".

Enthusiasm is the real source of motivation.

With great enthusiasm for learning, combined with the good brains of the Nara clan, Nara Langui feels that it is not difficult for ninjas of the same clan to learn [Lacquer Eyes].

In addition, Nara Langui had not yet given the [Lacquer Eye] technique scroll, so he first got an S-level [Ninja Secret Scroll], all the ninjutsu medical materials of the Nara clan, a monthly salary of one million taels, and chakra metal from the patriarch......

It's not that he doesn't accept the benefits that come down from the sky.

But the patriarch gave too much......

So much so that Nara Langui felt a little hot.

"Of course I understand that......"

Nara Shikano habitually brushed his beard again.

As the head of the clan, he has more to consider.

Needless to say, the power and functionality of [Lacquer Eye].

But it can affect not only the Nara people, but also the relationship with foreign races.

Among Konoha, the Nara clan is not very prominent, but at least it can be called indispensable.

The core of the medical system, the squad leader of the upper ninja class, the Hokage staff officer, and the official relationship of the Fire Country......

At present, the strength and status of the Nara clan in Konoha can be said to have developed to a limit state.

In this position, there will be no coveting, and there will be no suppression.

For the Nara clan, this state is the most comfortable.

If this limit is broken rashly, it will inevitably cause a lot of chain reactions.

The balanced relationship with the Yamanaka clan and the Akido clan, the alliance with the Sarufei clan, the pressure from the real super clans Uchiha and Hinata, and may even usher in the suppression of the Hokage......

And I want to break this limit, but continue to maintain a comfortable state.

Nara Shikano could only think of one way.

Or refer to the example of the ghost lamp clan in the foggy village next door.

The Nara clan, like the Ghost Lantern Clan, walked out of a shadow-level powerhouse like the second-generation Water Shadow Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon back then!

'War...... Clansman...... Survive...... Time...... Foreign...... Hokage ...... Lan Gui ......'

In just a few seconds, Nara Kano thought of a lot of things.

Eventually, he made a decision.

"After you return to the village after completing this mission, you can hand over the [Lacquer Eye] scroll to me!

"I will first spread the [Lacquer Eye] technique in a small area within the clan, and ask every clansman who learns [Lacquer Eye] to keep it absolutely confidential."

Nara Langui nodded, and he was very much in favor of this decision made by the patriarch.

It's just that in his heart, he still sighed.

'Patriarch, don't plant the flag......

"Also, Lan Gui."

Nara Shikano stared at Nara Katsura with sharp eyes.

Just a few seconds passed, and his sense of expectation for Nara Katsura had increased a lot.

Now that the plan has been made to promote the [Lacquer Eye] Technique Scroll, the plan to cultivate Nara to win the laurel also needs to be accelerated!

"Do you have the confidence to face the caravan leader who deliberately hid his identity, Miya Castle Flame?"

Nara was stunned.

“…… Clams? ”

……

Nara Langui stepped out of the makeshift tent and slowly approached the position of the caravan leader, Miya Castle.

He really didn't expect the patriarch to take the initiative to send him to deal with the suspicious ninja who was suspected of being an elite ninja.

But do you have faith?

Nara took a step out, the shadows under his feet undulating like waves, and suddenly a physical clone that was exactly the same as himself appeared in front of him.

[S-Class Technique: Shadow Clone Technique]

The doppelganger stood still, and Nara Langui stepped forward again, and the whole person was like a piece of tissue paper, blending into the shadow of the doppelganger.

[C-level Technique: Flat Shadow Technique]

Is this me in the doppelganger state? ’

Nara Langui's consciousness briefly possessed the [Shadow Clone], and he raised his palm and clenched his fist.

This sense of relief beyond the naked eye is really hilarious! ’

If it weren't for the fact that his own chakra amount couldn't guarantee the performance of the [Shadow Technique] all day long, Nara Langui would have wanted to live in the state of [Shadow Clone] all the time.

He turned to look back, looked into the shadows of the makeshift camp, nodded slightly, and moved again.

In the shadows, Nara Kano, Yamanaka Kaichi and Akido Dingza were silent.

Nara took Katsura to test the flames of Miya Castle.

The wrong generation of the pig deer butterfly team is his secret bodyguard!

Nara Langui silently approached the position of Tsumiya Castle.

The latter, as the leader of the caravan, was leaning against a carriage at this time, holding a sickle, and personally mowing the grass and feeding the horses.

As the night darkened, Nara stood still in front of the lights, his shadow stretched out by the warm yellow light.

"Boss of Miya Castle."

The sudden greeting seemed to startle Miya Castle.

He screamed in pain, and the sickle accidentally cut the palm of his hand, and a string of blood instantly oozed from the palm.

"Ouch......"

Wearing a pair of huge diamond-shaped sunglasses that were very fancy, Castle Goya turned around, and his tone was complaining.

"This little brother, don't be scared behind your back at night...... Do you have anything to do with me? ”

Nara Langui looked at Miya Castle's injured left hand, squinted slightly, the main consciousness returned to the shadow, and the doppelganger consciousness went online.

The shadows swelled, like the ink-stained beast spreading its fangs and biting at its unsuspecting prey.

Seeing that the shadows of the two had overlapped, [Shadow Clone] said straight to the point.

"Boss of Miya Castle, have you heard of it...... Shadow Bondage? ”
