"Front Tower? Are you sure?" To make sure, Shiyu used the White Rinnegan. Sure enough, he found that the barrier covering the area around Front Tower, south of Tower of All, had disappeared.
"Heaven's on our side!" Shiyu was extremely excited, and Nara Kakuru was just as thrilled.
However, everyone else looked completely bewildered.
"Since our southern Front Tower has been abandoned, the examinees near it can only head in three directions: east, west, or north. Tower of All is in the center, so those examinees will definitely come streaming here," Shiyu explained.
"But we don't have time to set traps. We'd be better off leaving this tower, crossing the lake, and finding a way to ambush them over there. By the way, your Water Release is strong enough to make a small lake? Kakuru found that hard to believe.
Shiyu didn't explain that his chakra reserves were already halfway to Super Kage level. Creating a small lake with the Great Waterfall Technique was perfectly normal for him.
Before long, Shiyu and the others set out, crossed the lake, and prepared for battle in the dense woods south of Tower of All.
It wasn't long before a squad came running north.
"Now! All six of us, attack!" Shiyu suddenly gave the order.
The squad had never expected anyone to be lying in ambush in this area. They were caught completely off guard.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!" Shiyu used a Fire Release technique, forcing the squad's three ninja to dodge in a panic.
"Wind Style: Breakthrough!" Nao used Wind Release as well, forcing all three of them back into the same area.
"Now!" Kurenai signaled Kakuru with her Byakugan.
"Shadow Binding Technique!" Kakuru rose straight out of the bushes and cast the technique, binding the three ninja from behind.
