Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

♂nbsp; This thought shook Sandai's mind for a moment. Then, Sandai knocked the pipe in his hand on the coffee table and said in a deep voice: "Is the information confirmed to be true?"

"not yet."

Kakashi replied: "But Orochimaru did appear in Konoha Village. According to Mitarai Anko, who was in charge of the second Chunin Exam, she once felt some familiar atmosphere while following the ANBU team to the Forest of Death. , and the curse mark on his body has also reacted. This situation only occurs when he is very close to Orochimaru."

Several senior Konoha officials, including the Third Generation, were aware of the fact that Anko was planted with the Heaven's Curse Seal by Orochimaru, and it was the Third Generation who asked the elders of the Senju clan to help with the sealing.

After hearing Kakashi's words, Sandai thought for a moment and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Sir, Third Generation, here is a secret letter just sent from Kirigakure Village."

The Intelligence Department ninja who came in from outside the door handed a scroll to the table and said quickly: "The Kirigakure Village was attacked by unknown persons yesterday. The whereabouts of the Fourth Mizukage are unknown. Kirigakure hopes to unilaterally suspend the Chunin Exams. , let Terumi Mei and others return to the village as soon as possible."

"Four generations of Mizukage..."

Several people in the room looked at each other.

Compared to Sunagakure Village, the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure is closer, and because they have a common enemy, the Akatsuki Organization, after signing the alliance contract, the two villages even joined forces to launch the Wave Country operation. Now that Kirigakure has sent out a secret message, it means that the situation is already quite urgent.

It's just that except for Tsunade, no one else knew much about the tailed beast capture plan, and for a while they didn't think about the jinchūriki's identity. However, as a fourth-generation Mizukage, Yagura is very powerful, and there are not many opponents who can pose a threat to him. Among them, the most suspected members are the members of the Akatsuki organization. Thinking back to this attack on Sunagakure Village, Scorpion and Deidara also appeared in Konoha Village, which somewhat made people speculate about the intentions of the Akatsuki organization.

If the man behind Mizukage's disappearance is really Akatsuki, then this organization's plot may be bigger than everyone imagined.

At that moment, the third generation decided to suspend the discussion of Sunagakure Village and instead discuss the matter of Kirigakure Village.

at the same time,

Terumi Mei also received information from Kirigakure and took the initiative to bid farewell to the third generation.

Considering that Kirigakure's participating team behaved well in this exam and showed no signs of participating in the conspiracy of Sunagakure Village, and the trouble was caused by the shadow of the other village, the third generation was too embarrassed to force him to stay, so he felt comfortable after exchanging pleasantries. The ground released them, and at the same time sent a team of ANBU to escort them. In fact, with the relationship between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water being mutual allies, assistance should have been provided in this matter. However, the situation in Kirigakure Village is still unclear, and Konoha has just suffered a terrorist attack, so the plan to assist can only be temporarily shelved. .

Terumi Mei had no objections to this.

Soon, the Kirigakure delegation was the first to leave Konoha.

After marching for almost a day, the team was approaching the border of the Land of Fire, and several sentries posted by Konoha Village on the border could be seen in the distance.

"Terumi Mei-sama, our border sentry tower is ahead, let's send it here." The accompanying Konoha ANBU leader said.

"Thank you for your hard work, colleagues in Konoha. Please come back."

Terumi Mei smiled and was about to say something, but suddenly frowned and looked back in the direction of the sentry tower, "Have you ever felt that there seems to be some strange chakra aura in that direction, approaching here."

"Ok?"

Several Anbu looked at each other. One of them, who was from the Hyuga clan, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sentry tower for a while. His expression suddenly changed: "No, the ninjas over there are fighting with people. There are many enemies." ... Damn it, what are these guys? Such fatal injuries can be healed in a short time... Are they really human beings?"

"Could it be..."

When Terumi Mei and others hurried to the border stronghold, they saw an extremely brutal battle.

Rather than a battle, it was more of a one-sided killing. There were about dozens of enemies, wearing clothes from different ninja villages and holding different weapons. Some of them were even samurai holding katana swords. However, What these people have in common is that no matter how serious the injury is, they can recover as before in a short period of time, as if their bodies are not made of flesh and blood at all, but clay that can be kneaded and changed at will.

In this case, even if they are stronger than these guys, they are no match for them.

After all, even jounin or even shadow-level experts have a limited amount of chakra, and it is impossible to release ninjutsu unlimitedly. Moreover, these enemies are not afraid of death, and no ninjutsu or taijutsu can do it. Inflicting damage to them, several Konoha ninjas stationed in the stronghold have fallen, and the remaining ones are struggling to hold on.

"What on earth are these..."

The ANBU leader looked surprised.

He is just an ordinary Jounin of Konoha, and is not qualified to come into contact with ninjutsu such as the Reincarnation of the Earth. Ever since it was invented by the Second Hokage, the Reincarnation of the Earth has been listed as a forbidden art, even among the top officials of Konoha. Some people know that the only people who have truly mastered this ninjutsu are the Third Hokage and his disciple Orochimaru - so the ANBU leader naturally cannot see the roots of this group of enemies.

On the contrary, Mei Terumi was stronger and had more combat experience. After scanning the battlefield, she could vaguely see the clues.

"After these guys use ninjutsu, there seems to be no loss of total chakra..."

"You are a ninja from the Hyuga clan, right? Use your Byakugan to see how their tissues are different from those of normal humans?"

The last sentence was said to the ANBU ninja of the Hyuga clan in the team.

Mei Terumi and Ao have cooperated a lot, and have a very deep understanding of Byakugan's abilities. Although the Hyuga clan ninja who was called out was a little confused, he still followed the instructions and opened Byakugan: "The physiques of these guys seem to be different from ordinary people... There are some Meridian nodes are not like what normal people can have, and everyone’s body meridians are carved out of the same mold, and the activity of each organ is quite strong..."

The Hyuga clan specializes in soft boxing and has been familiar with the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body since childhood, so they can see the difference in just a few strokes.

Compared to Terumi Mei, several Anbu were Konoha ninjas. Naturally, they could not just watch people in their own village being killed. The leader of the several people quickly made rescue plans and rushed forward with his subordinates to fight the enemy. They formed a ball, but all kinds of escape techniques had no effect on the latter.
