The nights fall more quickly after autumn.

Not long after leaving Konoha, a bright moon completely blocked the sunset from the horizon, and the night officially began.

Of course, in the dark night, which looks terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no mystery or terror in the group-like march.

All fear and fear are easily trampled and torn to pieces.

However, as the distance from the eastern border shortened, the restlessness in the hearts of the Konoha ninjas became stronger.

All kinds of thoughts were in their hearts:

'What is the current fighting situation in the place where the ninjas of Kirigakure Village have set foot?'

'Did Shikaku-sama receive another message from the front line?'

'How many of my companions are still alive?'

‘…’

They really want to get rid of these emotions and irritability!

However, these annoying and untouchable thoughts stick to their mouths like brown candy, clinging to their gums and refusing to be swallowed.

After all, although these over a thousand ninjas are all elites belonging to the Hidden Leaf Village, they have completed countless A and B missions on their ninja resumes.

But in the final analysis, less than half of the ninjas have actually been exposed to war and have actually come into contact with the elites of the other four ninja villages.

And Konoha is not in the blood mist next door.

In this peaceful era, except for the "roots" controlled by Shimura Danzo, there are basically no relatively strict and cruel competitions and elimination methods.

Perhaps, only by actually stepping onto the battlefield and truly staining their hands with blood can the complicated emotions in their hearts be washed away.

Huang, I don’t have any special feeling about this.

Because, he has set foot in both the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Rain, and even faced the powerful ‘demigod’ Sansho Hanzo.

On the other hand, the upcoming all-out war is more of a sumptuous feast, or in other words, a time of harvest, a harvest without any sense of guilt.

Who told them to do it first?

His thoughts disappeared, and a shikigami mark that could barely emerge quietly disappeared under the back of his hand.

【A bit, I'm hungry.】

After giving up this somewhat crazy thought, he raised his right hand and bit open a hole, and when the blood fell, he drew a simple psychic contract.

As the light mist filled the air, a plump civet cat with a small golden bell tied around its neck jumped up on the back of the giant eagle.

This is a cat from Cat Castle, but it's not a ninja cat.

They are just ordinary kittens that have been simply trained to spy on the human world and convey some messages.

Because Nekomata was too conspicuous, Ara asked him to send a few ordinary kittens to him for communication.

The little raccoon flower in front of me is one of them.

After all, how could a kitten have evil intentions?

The little one who had just arrived was also very sensible, and immediately raised his neck to reveal the little golden bell.

only........

Its amber-like cat eyes were also looking around curiously.

'cloud?'

‘This is a cloud, meow.’

‘It’s so beautiful, you can actually see clouds at such a close distance...clouds?’

'Meow?'

'Aren't the clouds in the sky?'

Rich emotions suddenly gathered on its little face, and it cautiously glanced at the angle of view, and madly determined in its heart:

'How is this possible!'

'I am a cat and not a bird, how can I appear in the sky!'

'Unless you are already dead!!'

"Meow!!"

But when it truly understood its situation, a harsh meowing sound suddenly sounded in the night sky!

The little civet who was cute and smart before suddenly fainted and passed away, leaving only the belated young man and the exposed pure white soft belly.

However, the little guy's screams were naturally contained by [Yan Ling·Shou].

'Eh?'

Seeing the kitten fainted from fright, Huang was a little at a loss. He didn't do it on purpose, he just thought it was safer to 'trade' in the sky.

He stretched out his finger and poked the little Lihua's belly, his heartbeat was beating loudly; then he put his finger on the little guy's nose, and his breathing became steady.

Um.

It's true that I just passed out. I'll apologize when I wake up.

Huang An calmed down and took apart the small bell in his hand.

There are two notes in total, the first one is from Qianno:

"Ara, we have arrived at the Country of Sichuan."

"Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission successfully, but don't underestimate my blood dragon eye!"

After the separation from the Bear Country, Ara naturally returned to Konoha Hidden Village, while Chino led two elite teams to Kawano Country.

Because, according to the information from Nekomata, the Black Hoe Leiya who defected from Kirigakure Village is hiding here, and formed a local force called the Black Hoe Family with his subordinates.

In fact, the Black Hoe Raiga itself is not very strong, and is probably as strong as an ordinary Konoha Anbu. There is no need for Chino to take action at all, and Feng Xin, who has the limit of Taidun Blood Succession, can suppress it.

However, there are two things that are special about him.

One is the sharp blade in his hand: [Thunder Knife·Fang].

This special pair of swords has the special ability to create and attract thunder and lightning, which can simply improve the combat power of ninjas with lightning escape attributes!

Moreover, the power erupted by attracting natural thunder during thunderstorms is not weaker than some A-level or even S-level thunder escape secret techniques!!

In addition to this special weapon, the existence of Ranmaru is another important point.

If the Black Hoe Raiga, who possesses [Thunder Sword and Fang], can stand out from all the Kirigakure ninjas and reach the threshold of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Then, Ranmaru, who has a pair of special pupils, has completely crossed this threshold and truly occupied a position among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

The red eye is the special blood inheritance possessed by the former.

Not only does it have the power of perception, expansion of vision, and the ability to explore chakra energy common to most pupil techniques, it also has clairvoyance similar to the Byakugan, and the confusing power of the Sharingan!!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even these special eyes can detect approaching danger at close range!!

What’s more, it can be said that this is the only natural enemy of Byakugan!!

You must know that during the battle at the Sorrel Gold Mountain in the Kingdom of Kawa, even the genius of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Neji, who possesses high-purity white eyes, was deceived by these special eyes!!

This record alone is enough for Huang to raise the danger level of the two of them to a new level.

Originally, he planned to contact these two people himself.

After all, Kawa no Kuni is a neighboring country of Konoha, not far away.

He was also very interested in the pair of red eyes.

But the arrival of the war blocked this layer of thoughts, and he could only send his subordinates.

Of course, what reassures Aara is that Qianno will definitely complete the task.

This was not only due to his confidence in the girl's own strength, but also due to Ranmaru.

Although that little guy possesses the powerful blood inheritance limit red eyes, like Yakumo of the Kurama clan, his body is extremely weak.

Moreover, perhaps due to the different environment and family background, the former's condition is even worse, and he can't even walk independently, let alone fight.

Therefore, that guy serves as the second pair of eyes for Black Hoe Lei Ya.

As for using the Kirigakure Technique in conjunction with Red Eye's surprise attack, well, Feng Xin's Tai Escape is not a power that can be underestimated.

It's a pity that he can't see the collision between the blood dragon eye and the red eye.

The second message came from Maomata.

'Traces of Shiro appear in the eastern region of the Fire Country.'

'Suspected of heading to the place of dispute between Kirigakure and Konoha.'

At first, Ara didn't let the owner of the cat castle search for the traces of Momochi Zabuza and Haku, because he knew that they would most likely stay in the Land of Waves.

In addition, those two guys are extremely sensitive beings, so they did this to avoid unnecessary losses.

However, Nekomata memorized the location of Wave Country.
