Continuing Deeper

Qian gathered his thoughts and stopped dwelling on it, turning his gaze back to the four people on the ground.

Although he had only captured four insignificant small fries, combined with the advantage of his "foreknowledge," he had still pieced together what he believed was the truth.

"So, should I keep going deeper?"

The thought surfaced in Qian's mind.

But very quickly, he made up his mind—he would go!

There was no other reason. Although he was very confident in his conjecture, it was still only a conjecture. If he wanted to verify it, he still needed to investigate further.

What was more, to complete his plan, he also had to enter Kirigakure itself.

So he still could not leave just yet.

As for his next target...

If one had to say who in Kirigakure was most likely to come into contact with the revived Three-Tails first, then it would undoubtedly be the Anbu.

As the people Karatachi Yagura trusted the most, the future task of searching for the Three-Tails would most likely fall to them.

In addition, these people were also the ones most likely to know why Kirigakure had imposed a total lockdown across its entire territory.

So they were the best targets.

With that thought, Qian wasted no more time. He raised his hand and made a slicing motion, and the throat of one Mist Ninja on the ground was severed by his Chakra Scalpel.

Swish~ swish~ swish~

Three more strikes followed, and the remaining three shared his fate.

Qian looked at the four corpses on the ground and used his Byakugan to observe the surroundings.

After confirming there was no one else within a one-kilometer radius, he immediately raised his hands and formed seals, casting a ninjutsu—Fire Style: Plain Burn Technique!

Bang, bang, bang~
