Action

Ever since the "Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal" and "Four Symbols Seal" were completed, Qian had completely relaxed. Though the Seven-Tails was not in his hands yet, as far as he was concerned, it was already his.

Only, what he had not expected was that even after another day passed, Takigakure still had not taken action.

And if they did not act, his shadow clone could not find the place where the Seven-Tails was sealed.

With that, he had no way to make a move on his side either.

He could not have been more passive.

However, it was not as if there was no good news.

At the very least, Kumogakure had not launched another large-scale attack.

At the same time, the cloud ninja responsible for investigating the disappearance of the infiltration team in Ghost Cry Forest had not stirred up trouble either.

This allowed him to cultivate in peace without having to split his attention elsewhere.

Next, all he had to do was proceed with his own tasks step by step and wait for the shadow clone hidden inside Takigakure to send back news.

He refused to believe Takigakure could keep sitting still forever.

Facts proved that the intelligence his shadow clone had obtained earlier—that Takigakure would act within a week—was fairly accurate.

That night.

Qian was still cultivating inside his tent at the Camp when a segment of memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.

After discovering that this memory did not belong to any of his other shadow clones, but to the shadow clone hidden inside Takigakure, he immediately stopped cultivating and began quickly reviewing it.

Qian directly ignored the memories of daily life and focused on today's memories.

Very quickly, he found the problem.

Just an hour ago, Takigakure had suddenly issued a village-wide martial law order.
