The Arc of the Crescent Moon is activated!

The host has one resurrection chance per month. Upon death, they will revive on the previous full moon night.

Reward: One gacha pull:

1. Fire Release Chakra; 2. Chunin-level Chakra (stackable); 3. Body Flicker Technique (Beginner).

Fire Release Chakra was a bit of a filler, looked down upon, and skipped directly.

However, the second and third options made Yagami hesitate.

If he chose Chunin-level Chakra, it would instantly solve the problem of insufficient Chakra. Then, using Earth Release: Earth-Corpse Transmigration, he could stealthily move for longer and faster.

However, the last option was equally tempting.

Body Flicker Technique, used by the Brown Bear Squad Commander, a fast-moving ninjutsu.

Comparing the two, Yagami chose Body Flicker Technique (Beginner). He would find a way to solve the Chakra issue later.

First, address the existence of the skill, then worry about its proficiency.

In an instant, Yagami learned the Body Flicker Technique.

He concentrated Chakra in his calves and ankles, stimulating his cells, and his muscle and Chakra power erupted instantly, using the force of his push-off to move rapidly.

The key to performing the technique was to maintain Chakra in the feet and calf meridians, stimulating specific corresponding muscles.

Yagami bent down, hoisted the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader onto his shoulder, and continued his journey.

This time, he trained the Body Flicker Technique while on the move.

The Cloud Ninja on his shoulder was very surprised. Why had this Konoha Ninja suddenly become so fast?

The Brown Bear Squad Commander looked greatly surprised when he saw Yagami complete the mission.

Yagami said, "Squad Commander, I discovered several Uzumaki ninja on my way back. They have a sealing scroll. I request permission to seize that sealing scroll."

He had to leave now. Otherwise, if the alliance between the Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja was revealed through interrogation tonight, he wouldn't be able to leave.

The Brown Bear Squad Commander said, "Alright, then go seize the sealing scroll."

After leaving the beach where the squad was stationed, Yagami used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly travel.

The feeling of the Body Flicker Technique was truly excellent.

He stomped on the ground, and the Chakra in his feet instantly erupted, propelling his body several meters into the air.

The wind whistled past his ears, rushing backward.

After searching several lakes, Yagami finally found a young White Spear Heron.

This egret was very fast, with a sharp and long beak.

Following the White Spear Heron to a lake, Yagami saw a giant White Spear Heron.

The White Spear Heron was circling by the lake and spotted Yagami.

Its eyes sharpened, and it suddenly dived, charging towards Yagami.

Its beak, over a meter long, gleamed with a bronze metallic luster, like a javelin.

"Stop! Don't do anything rash!"

Uzumaki Yuka's voice rang out.

The diving White Spear Heron pulled up higher.

Uzumaki Yuka stood with her hands on her hips from a distance, her pretty face showing a hint of pride. "Yagami, what do you think of my new summon?"

Yagami looked at the White Spear Heron's beak with lingering fear. The speed of this summon was faster than a thrown kunai, and it could also make its own decisions, dodging and turning.

"You've already subdued this summon so quickly?"

It was truly enviable.

"Not only this summon, but I also have a clan of White Spear Herons."

Uzumaki Yuka waved her hand, and five normal-sized White Spear Herons flew out from the forest behind her.

These egrets flew at high speed, their beaks like kunai.

With a large summon providing powerful offensive capabilities and smaller summons for interference, this clan of summons greatly enhanced Yuka's strength.

Yagami retracted his envious gaze and got down to business:

"Yuka, I've obtained some intelligence from the Anbu.

Princess Kushina encountered setbacks while sealing the wild Three-Tails, and was pursued by Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja, failing the sealing.

Konoha's Anbu will soon head to the coast to support Princess Kushina, but the two Anbu squads are not enough to save Princess Kushina."

Yuka was greatly alarmed: "Princess Kushina went to seal the Three-Tails? I didn't even know about this. It seems the village kept it secret to prevent spies from leaking information, so they didn't tell anyone in the village. Then I..."

"It just so happens that you've contracted flying summons like the White Spear Heron. Use your flying summons to quickly gather reinforcements. Princess Kushina cannot be lost."

Yagami left with the Body Flicker Technique.

Yuka noticed that the Fox's strength had improved significantly. How did he achieve this? Was he growing during battle?

The Body Flicker Technique left behind a black afterimage as it rapidly disappeared, greatly increasing its coolness factor.

An hour later, a special signal flare rose in the distance.

It was Konoha Anbu's crimson signal flare, signifying the highest level of Anbu assembly order.

Captain Commander Yellow Dog had already obtained intelligence after interrogating the Cloud Ninja squad leader.

He quickly returned to the main force's location.

Yagami said to the Brown Bear Squad Commander, "Captain, I was halfway through the pursuit when I saw the signal flare and came back."

"It's fine. Compared to the Uzumaki Sealing Scroll, the Cloud Ninja squad leader you brought back has revealed more important intelligence."

Yagami was secretly anxious, wondering if Uzumaki Yuka could bring enough reinforcements.

The Land of Waves was very far from both Konohagakure and the Uzu Hidden Village, so they might not make it in time.

He followed the main force to the seaside, where they encountered Uzumaki Kushina and her group.

When facing the Mist Ninja, learning the Body Flicker Technique made it easier to dodge and maneuver.

After Princess Uzumaki and her group fled, Yagami finally received the retreat order.

The Mist Ninja and Cloud Ninja were very strong. The Mist Ninja followed closely behind the Anbu, while the Cloud Ninja were flanking.

The pressure was increasing. Captain Commander Yellow Dog dispatched the Black Bull Squad to cover their retreat.

In less than half a minute, the Black Bull Squad was wiped out.

Captain Commander Yellow Dog then dispatched the Brown Bear Squad, where Yagami was, to cover their retreat.

The Brown Bear Squad Commander turned around without hesitation, calmly facing his own death and the deaths of his team members.

However, his team members didn't need this calmness.

They were about to face a certain death situation.

Yagami continuously scanned his surroundings, concentrating all his Chakra in his feet.

Taking full advantage of the battlefield's width, he found a spot with fewer Mist Ninja.

He used the Body Flicker Technique to jump there, buying himself at least 3 seconds of survival time.

The closest Mist Ninja would need 3 seconds to attack him, so living one more second was one more second.

With the Body Flicker Technique, Yagami delayed the most.

The Brown Bear Squad Commander, facing more enemies, was covered in attacks like a hedgehog, pierced by steel senbon.

Some senbon pierced his throat, heart, and other vital points.

Before dying, the Brown Bear Squad Commander had a change of heart and wanted to see the condition of his team members.

He turned his head and saw that the Fox was still alive.

The next moment, his eyes behind the mask were filled with sympathy.

Yagami was startled.

Why was he looking at him with sympathy?

Instinctively, Yagami lunged forward!

Behind him, Juzo Biwa's Kubikiribocho was already swinging towards Yagami's waist!

A man's waist, how could it be harmed?

Just as he was about to die, Yagami heard the exciting sound of chains!

It was the sound of the Uzumaki Clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains!

Two chains pierced the ground on either side of Yagami, blocking the Kubikiribocho.

Yagami rolled on the ground and saw who had arrived.

A ninja wearing the insignia of the Land of Waves Daimyo's Guardian Ninja!

Behind him were many Uzumaki ninja; all the ninja on mission in the Land of Waves had arrived.

Uzumaki Yuka's slender silhouette appeared in the mist.

She had brought the reinforcements!
