Land of Whirlpools · Rabbit Nation Base · Satellite Surveillance Room
Tianyi had just teleported back from Blue Star. Before he could steady himself, Wang Qiang strode over with a tablet in hand, his expression grave.
"Captain Tianyi, the satellite images have found something." Wang Qiang handed him the tablet.
"Hidden Mist Village has made a move. A small unit briefly stopped in the Land of Whirlpools and is now heading toward Leaf Village."
Tianyi frowned slightly as he took the tablet, his gaze sweeping over the satellite images on the screen.
On the gray-white terrain map, seven points of light were moving slowly, with their times and routes marked. He turned toward the surveillance room, his voice steady. "Redirect the satellite and magnify the image."
Inside the surveillance room, Gao Xiang's fingers flew across the keyboard.
On the massive screen, the satellite image rapidly zoomed in, from the clouds to the ground, from blurry to clear.
Seven figures appeared on the screen, each carrying a distinct weapon—a greatsword, a longsword, a blunt blade, twin blades, Nuibari, Fang, and an explosive blade.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
Tianyi's pupils contracted slightly. At this point in time, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were moving toward Leaf Village.
He remembered that in the original story, they were supposed to have set out only after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, and Might Duy had torn through them with the Eight Gates. But now, they had come early. Had my involvement changed the timeline of the plot?
"They're going to Leaf Village." Tianyi's voice was calm, but there was a trace of gravity in it. "It seems they intend to coordinate with Rin's side and attack from within and without."
He thought of the Three-Tails inside Rin and Hidden Mist Village's plan—to release the Tailed Beast
