In the Land of Rain, inside the ruins of a village.

After Shimura Chunin and three ninjas left, there were only fifteen Konoha ninjas left.

Six Konoha ninjas hid in the ruined house. They were the ninjas in each team who were good at large-scale ninjutsu such as Fire and Lightning, and they were also the heavy firepower guarantee of this team.

No matter where you are, no matter when you are, even when you are resting, you will be under the protection of other ninjas.

The other nine people were divided into groups of three, hiding around ten meters apart, to ensure that they could discover and respond in time when abnormal situations occurred, and quickly use ninjutsu to establish defensive fortifications.

From the distribution of the Konoha squad's resting status, it can be seen that the Konoha ninjas, known as the number one ninja village, are indeed real.

Even when not in combat mode, they remain sufficiently vigilant. If attacked at any point, they will be hit from several other directions.

Even if they were besieged by enemies that outnumbered them by several times, the Fire and Lightning Ninjas inside the house had enough time to cast hand seals, provide sufficient firepower to fight back, and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

This is also the reason why Jiraiya dared to divide the troops into small teams during the day and use a V-shaped dispersed formation to sweep for possible enemies ahead.

It comes from both self-confidence and strength.

Click.

Seeing the interrogator Yamanaka walking out of the dilapidated house, Shimura Jōnin, who was sitting outside the house bored, quickly stood up and asked, "How is it?"

"It went very smoothly." The mountain ninja nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that the kid could survive the mind-reading technique. I thought he would turn into an idiot in the middle of the technique..."

"What nonsense."

Before he could finish his words, Shimura Jonin raised his hand to interrupt him, frowning and saying, "Who asked you how that brat is doing? I was asking you if he had any useful information!"

The Yamanaka Ninja choked and was a little dissatisfied, but due to his status as a subordinate at the moment, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "According to that child, at least 500 people are resting in a nearby settlement."

"Moreover, based on his description of the leader's appearance, I estimate that person is very likely an important figure on the enemy side, the 'Upper Rank' who supported Kagero Village in counterattacking the Takigakure Village troops."

"Five hundred people? Upper rank?!"

When he heard that there were exactly 500 people ahead, and that they were led by "Upper Rank", he realized that he was completely unaware of the situation.

Shimura Jonin couldn't help but feel scared and cursed, "Doesn't that bastard Jiraiya like to brag about his intelligence capabilities? How come we didn't receive any news about such a big move by the other party?"

But soon, his greed for credit overwhelmed his fear, and he grinned, "Hahaha! We caught a big fish this time!"

If nothing unexpected happens, those 500 people should be nearly half of the enemy's combat power. They are likely to be the people from Dawn City used to support Hanzo and the Hidden Rain Village.

As long as they can find that group of people, set up traps and ambushes on the road they must pass, and then notify the main force to come, all the previous dangers will be transformed into their military exploits.

Most importantly, this means that they can join up with the main force and no longer have to wallow in the mud in fear.

The others also realized this, and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes.

"Captain Shimura, do you need to notify the nearest team for support?" someone asked.

But the Shimura jonin suddenly hesitated.

He really didn't want to spit out this piece of fat meat in his mouth. If he was well prepared, he might be able to swallow it all, but he was worried about the enemy's number that was dozens of times higher than his own...

Phew! Phew!

Just as he hesitated, a crow, which was very common in the Rain Kingdom, flew from a distance, circled above their heads and spit out the scroll in its mouth.

Shimura Jonin instantly recognized the crow as the summoning beast of his good-for-nothing nephew. He caught the fallen scroll and opened it with squinted eyes.

"...A monster called 'ghost'? Afraid of sunlight? So it rests during the day?"

After a moment, a smile appeared on his face again. He handed the scroll to the Yamanaka Ninja beside him and asked him to confirm the authenticity of the information. He snorted coldly, "That kid helped me out for once, so let's count it as a credit to him!"

Although the existence of "ghosts" has always been very secretive, as Dawn City gradually appears in the sight of all forces, no matter how secretive it is, the truth will eventually come out.

The intelligence departments of several ninja villages are not vegetarians. The information leaked in the battle of Takigakure Village was not small. They have already collected and speculated about the abilities of the "ghosts".

They even analyzed the battle traces left in the Whirlpool Country and those terrifying beast-like traces, and concluded that the "ghost" may have appeared five years ago.

However, due to Tsunade's deliberate concealment out of selfish motives, and Jiraiya's unwillingness for the descendants of the Senju clan to be persecuted, Konoha did not obtain the body of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, and knew nothing about the emergence of the suspected Wood Release power.

The only information we have about the "ghost" is that it has extremely strong healing powers, can only be killed by chopping off its head, and always appears at night, mysteriously wearing a black robe.

From Konoha's perspective today, the only tricky thing about "ghosts" is their healing ability, as the physical fitness of most "ghosts" is not much different from that of physical skills Chunin.

But the "ghost" can't even use ninjutsu, and the only weapon is his own body.

This kind of extreme stuff can be easily dealt with as long as there are not many of them and you know their intelligence and weaknesses and make preparations in advance.

Shimura Jonin thought the same thing. After confirming the authenticity of the information from Koishi, he looked up at everyone and ordered, "Let's go! Let's eat this piece of fat meat!"

"What should we do with this child?" The Yamanaka Ninja dragged out the unconscious, pale-faced Xiaoshi.

Shimura Jonin just glanced at him, as if he was looking at an ant, and sneered maliciously: "Take it with you. Doesn't he have a good relationship with those monsters? Maybe he can be of use!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of figures disappeared instantly, leaving only the black crow circling in the air.

The leading jonin Shimura was already insidious and cautious enough, but unfortunately, he was corrupted by greed and didn't realize that he had overlooked two things.

The first thing is that their intelligence is outdated and even contains fatal loopholes.

The only one whose ability was exposed was "Ye". It seemed that he was simply strong, and no one could guess that his blood demon magic directly acted on the body. Now, there were dozens of "ghosts" who had awakened blood demon magic, even if there were not a hundred.

Each of them has the strength to compete for the title of Twelve Kizuki, enough to become the upper and lower ranks comparable to Konoha's jonin.

As for the second thing...

They did not see the scarlet color flashing in the eyes of the so-called spiritual beast crow.

Weird, strange, and filled with human anger.

------

At the same time, in a forest of dead trees close to the border of the Rain Country.

In everyone's eyes, Yunchuan, who should have been at the back, was now strolling leisurely as if he was walking in his own backyard. He had even changed into a black suit, and the white bouquet on his chest seemed to be going to attend someone's funeral.

It was almost evening now. Looking far towards the direction of the Fire Nation, one could see a red sun.

The rosy glow sprinkled through the faint clouds, dyeing the deep, seemingly uninhabited woods red, and making Yunchuan's body seem as if it were soaked in blood.

[Trigger mission: [Hero's twilight]]

[Mission details: Witness the end of [Salamander Hanzo] and participate in it]

[Task Level: Blue]

[Task period: 2 hours]

[Completion reward: 4000 points]

"Human power has its limits. Even a drizzle of rain can never reach the sky."

Looking at the task panel in his mind, Yunchuan shook his head regretfully, but soon smiled indifferently and said, "It's a pity, I don't believe these."

After that, he raised his eyelids slightly, looked into the dark depths, and said in a calm tone: "Do all of you roots like to greet each other like this?"

As soon as the words fell, figures clad in black suddenly appeared in the deep and cramped dead woods. The robes covered their faces in darkness, and the setting sun cast their loose shadows on the trees and under the trees.

Apparently, Kumokawa had already stepped into the blockade area of ​​the Root, and any further would be the trap used to trap and kill Hanzo's lion.

The Root Ninja had no intention of wasting time talking to Kumokawa and instantly recognized the smiling face, the extremely mysterious face of the leader of Dawn City.

However, they did not form seals at the first moment. Instead, they raised their sleeves and suddenly extended a needle out of them, and stabbed it into the side of their neck without hesitation and at the same time.

puff! !

The next moment, many fine and hideous bloodshot veins suddenly appeared in the pupils that were originally lifeless like a corpse, and his breathing gradually became heavy and rapid.

Visible red chakra flowed out of their bodies, covering their bodies like a blood-red coat, and their burned and charred skin made them tremble in pain.

But their aura gradually became terrifying, like wild beasts that had shed their human skins.

"Is this... Tailed Beast Chakra?"

Seeing such an obvious change, Yunchuan raised his eyebrows with interest, as if he understood and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, Danzo really doesn't care about his life. Did he collect the remaining Nine-Tails Chakra through some special means?"

If I'm not mistaken, what these Root Ninjas were injected with should be some kind of potion mixed with Nine-Tails Chakra, which can enhance strength in all aspects for a short period of time, but will definitely cause death after the effect of the drug wears off.

But the current Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is Tsunade. If she knew that Danzo was secretly collecting the Nine-Tails' chakra, even if Danzo didn't die, he would be blind in one eye.

"The effect looks good, but the side effects should be severe. This should be used as a trump card right from the start. Is it really appropriate?"

Looking at the Root ninja whose rationality was gradually replaced by animality, Kumokawa, who received no response, just shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "A bunch of zombies whose life and death are not up to them, how boring."

The tailed beast chakra in them is probably around three tails?

Being able to do this is already commendable.

Of course, this is only true as a death squad.

"Roar!!"

The body of the Root Ninja swelled up under his black clothes, and after a hoarse beast roar that was irrational and filled with the aura of murder, he rushed towards Kumokawa on all fours.

The way they scrambled for each other was like beasts fighting for prey. Each beast was unwilling to lose its prey, and each beast wanted to kill the prey before its own kind rushed over.

Just like they had been trained before, they grabbed the prey's neck to suffocate it, watched the prey's body spasm and its eyes become bloodshot, and finally tore open the prey's throat with their teeth and enjoyed the warm feeling of the blood gushing out.

There was one person who rushed over the fastest and pounced on his "prey".

But at this moment, the "prey" that seemed to pose no threat to him raised its eyes slightly and looked at him in the air, with a blood-red light flowing deep in its eyes.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying aura exploded. Even though the ninja had lost his mind, even as a pure beast, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

It’s a pity that it was too late for the Root Ninja to regret.

The spiritual pressure turned into substance and crushed the ground beneath his feet, also sending him flying backwards. The next moment, Yunchuan raised his hand and grabbed his head, making him kneel in front of him, looking like a priest facing a confessor.

Yunchuan lowered his eyes and moved his lips slightly, as if he was reciting something.

Kaka!

There was only a very short crisp sound, and light shone from his skull, as if he had a head made of crystal and the candle inside was lit with a candle flame.

His body broke like molten steel, turning into ashes piece by piece, and in the end, only the burning skull remained in Yunchuan's hand.

He looked up at the Root Ninjas who subconsciously stopped where they were in instinctive fear, and said politely: "Sorry, if it were any other time, I would be very interested in studying it, but now, I'm in a hurry."

As he spoke, Yunchuan raised his hand lightly, and a silver-white dagger appeared in his hand.

Without any warning, several Root ninjas who were trying to pounce again from a distance suddenly exploded.

The body was still in the sprinting motion, but the frame naturally disintegrated.

No screams, no last words.

From bones to muscles, it is the most biologically perfect division, divided into the head, arms, legs, upper chest, lower abdomen...

Poof! Poof! !

Their bodies sprayed scarlet blood everywhere, like several paint balls that exploded in the air. The broken pieces of flesh were pushed forward by inertia, and the sticky liquid was dyed the color of a gorgeous flower like a red glow.

A huge amount of blood rushed to the ground like a flood, and finally stopped in front of Yunchuan's feet and split apart, making his smiling profile even redder.

Yunchuan didn't even look down for a second. The "magic gun" in his hand dissipated like dust, and he continued walking towards the battlefield.

The other battlefields have been arranged, and each battlefield has its own protagonist.

Only there, in the very center of the battlefield, where Sand Village, Konoha, and Amegakure gathered, was the stage for him to announce his appearance.

Yunchuan will give them a big gift.
