The Shiny Bald Head

After landing at the bottom of a staircase, Kanami saw Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru unconscious.

"Get up."

Kanami stepped forward and woke Kiba Inuzuka.

"Ah!"

Kiba Inuzuka barked sharply and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Kanami asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Kiba Inuzuka relaxed completely after turning around and seeing that it was Kanami.

"Oh, it's you! What are you doing here?"

Then he noticed the sounds of fighting coming from all around him.

"What's going on? Why are they fighting?"

"It's too complicated to explain in a short time, but simply put, the Sand Village and Sound Ninja are going to attack Konoha."

Kanami gave Kiba Inuzuka a simple explanation.

"How did they start fighting?" Kiba Inuzuka asked, puzzled.

"Come with me, let's go find Fūka and the other girl first."

Kanami did not choose to answer his questions again; he would explain after the incident was over.

Seeing that Kiba Inuzuka was still in a daze, Kanami helplessly grabbed the hood of his clothes.

I simply dragged him along and jumped away with him.

He didn't know any of the other people around him, and he had no intention of helping them.

Before long, Kanami landed at the location where he had sensed Fūka and Yuzuki's presence.

However, they were nowhere to be found.

He then closed his eyes again and activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

Perception spreads outwards.

Just then, Kiba Inuzuka patted Kanami on the shoulder.

"I can smell them over here."

Kiba Inuzuka waved and ran towards a grove of trees.

Seeing this, Kanami hurriedly chased after them.

With the Inuzuka Clan's Secret Technique of Superhuman Sense of Smell, he no longer needed to investigate.

After all, Mind's Eye of the Kagura, Secret Technique of the Uzumaki Clan, can only be activated with the eyes closed. It's fine for reconnaissance, but it's not very convenient to use in battle like the Byakugan.

Woof woof.

Akamaru peeked his head out from Kiba Inuzuka's arms.

"You're awake too, Akamaru."

Kiba Inuzuka rubbed Akamaru's head.

A moment later, Kanami saw Fūka and Yuzuki escorting some women and children.

"No wonder I sensed they were staying in one place earlier; they were helping others, weren't they?"

He himself wouldn't do something so thankless, but if others did it, he wouldn't offer them any advice, because it's unnecessary.

"Ya, Kanami, you guys escaped too?"

He was the first to notice the Fūka between the two and asked with a smile.

"Um."

Kiba Inuzuka was at the front, nodded.

Woof woof!

Akamaru poked its head out and barked twice, seemingly expressing its displeasure at not being greeted.

"It's been so long since I've petted you, Maruko."

Fūka chuckled and ruffled Akamaru's dog head.

Akamaru let out a loud "woof," seemingly enjoying it immensely.

Kanami casually glanced at the women and children present. There were four of them. Including Kanami and his group of four, there were a total of eight people present.

Kanami asked, "Where are you headed now? Home?"

"Um."

Yuzuki nodded.

Then he gave a brief introduction to Kanami and Kiba Inuzuka.

"This is our grandmother, Aunt Huizhong from next door, and her daughter."

Upon hearing Yuzuki's introduction, Kanami glanced at her and saw that her grandmother's overall appearance was not much different in age from the woman next to her.

Her hair wasn't completely white, and she seemed to be in good spirits.

The woman next to her seemed to still be in a state of shock, tightly hugging her daughter, who looked to be six or seven years old.

Hello, Grandma.

Hello, Grandma!

Kanami and Kiba Inuzuka offered a simple greeting to the old man.

"Hello, everyone."

Grandma responded with a smile.

"When we were at home, Yuzuki Fūka would often mention that it was thanks to Kanami that we were able to pass the previous exams smoothly."

"You must be Kanami, right?"

Yuzuki's grandmother gratefully grasped Kiba Inuzuka's hand.

Well...

"Grandma, I'm not Kanami, he is."

Kiba Inuzuka touched his neck somewhat helplessly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, these two granddaughters always said how powerful Kanami was. Seeing how strong you are, I thought you were Kanami."

Grandma was a little embarrassed and hurriedly apologized.

Am I really that thin and weak?

Kanami rubbed his abs with a hint of helplessness.

If he hadn't felt it was impolite to lift his shirt, he would have insisted on showing his grandmother what a good figure really looked like.

After expressing her apology, Grandma turned to look at Kanami and nodded.

"I'm sorry, child, I'm getting old, my eyesight isn't what it used to be, I mistook you for someone else, I'm really sorry."

"It's alright, Grandma."

Kanami smiled.

whoosh--

Suddenly, several Kunai attacked Kanami and the others.

The moment the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, Kanami charged straight at the flying Kunai.

Clang!

The Kunai bounced off him when it hit him.

With his current Cell Activation capabilities, it would be difficult for Kunai to leave even a white scratch on his body.

Without even blinking, Kanami reached out and grabbed the Kunai that had been flung away, then appeared beside the Sand Ninja ninja.

While the Sand Ninja's expression was still reeling from shock, Kanami slit his throat with a single Kunai.

Then he looked at Yuzuki and said:

"Yuzuki, this place will be affected soon, you should leave quickly."

Oh, right, don't go home. Head straight to the Shelter. If I remember correctly, it's near the Hokage Rock. There are other Konoha Ninja protecting the villagers there.

Yuzuki nodded. "Okay, what about you? Aren't you coming along?"

"I still have things to do. Ya, you go back with them. I'm leaving now."

Kanami turned and left; making sure they were safe was enough.

As long as they don't get involved in the main battlefield, the remaining Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja only seem to have the advantage for a short time. Once they finish their refuge in Konoha and all their forces join the battle, they will be easily defeated.

Konoha currently has the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Inuzuka Clan, the Aburame Clan, the Sarutobi Clan, and the Hyuga Clan.

In terms of combat strength, even if the Sand Village and Sound Ninja joined forces, they could not possibly defeat the Konoha in terms of overall strength.

However, the most crucial battleground that will determine whether the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja can achieve victory in this attack still lies with Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If a Kage-level ninja were to find the time to attack Genin Chunin, it would be an overwhelming defeat.

This is why Orochimaru alone dared to launch a large-scale attack on Konoha.

Only two things determine the village's key fighting force: the Kage and the Tailed Beast.

Where are those two Ninja from your Cloud Village now?

Kanami narrowed his eyes slightly and hurried towards the audience seats.

In his memory, the two Cloud Village ninja looked like a monkey and were bald.

It was precisely because of their appearance that Kanami had a much deeper impression of them than when Hinata was first kidnapped.

In a corner of the stands, far from the center of the battlefield, behind a group of unconscious villagers, a bald head with a reflective sheen caught Kanami's eye.

"Ha, you found it so quickly."
