Land of Fields, Canyon.
Four people, including Yuroketsu, Hokuto, appeared in the canyon filled with white mist.
"In this direction."
A black bug flew over from a distance and landed on Yuroketsu's fingertips, conveying some kind of message that only Aburame Clan could understand.
After reading the information, Yuroketsu greeted Hokuto and the three of them and flew towards the destination.
The three Hokuto followed closely behind Yuroketsu, faithfully fulfilling the principles of employment tasks and taking the employer's requirements as their first priority.
Yuroketsu stopped in an open space, surrounded by tall and narrow rock walls. There was a large pit on the ground caused by the explosion. The original green blood and a large number of insect corpses began to deteriorate, emitting an extremely unpleasant fishy smell.
Izayoi covered his mouth and nose and frowned.
This smell of insect corpses is really disgusting.
Yuroketsu came to a rock wall with a calm face and stood in front of it, and said softly:
"Come out, Zhimo, it's safe."
As he spoke, Yuroketsu also released the bugs hidden in the cuffs, making a buzzing sound and transmitting the Chakra signal.
This Chakra signal will resonate with the Aburame Clan bugs and is also an important means for the Aburame Clan ninjas to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Sure enough, the rock wall began to squirm, transforming into a large number of black bugs, which flew away.
A young man wearing black high-collar Ninja Outfit and sunglasses walked out of the rock crevice panting, his cuffs opened to collect the black insects around him.
During this period, he used Insect Secret Technique to forge out of the mountain rock and hide in it. This kind of Secret Technique can be used for a long time with a small amount of Chakra to maintain operation and isolate the enemy's Sensory series Ninjutsu. The disadvantage is that the caster cannot move.
The injuries on his body at this time did not look very serious, and the bleeding wounds had been treated so that the smell of blood would not be revealed, but Yuroketsu could feel that the strength of the young man in sunglasses and Chakra were about to bottom out.
This young man in sunglasses is his eldest son - Aburame Shima.
Aburame Clan Young Jonin is also the next patriarch appointed by the Aburame Clan.
"Dad..."
"Don't talk, just take a rest first."
Yuroketsu handed him clean water, dry food, and some special Soldier Pill to help him recover his strength and Chakra quickly.
Zhimo nodded weakly, sat down regardless of his appearance, and started eating and drinking calmly.
In order to prevent the enemy from feinting a shot, he left on the surface, but actually hid around, waiting for him to appear. So much so that during this period, he used Secret Technique to hide in the rock wall, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Although it turned out that he was a little too vigilant, he would still do it if he had to do it again.
As an intelligence officer, you can never be too cautious and careful.
Seeing that Zhimo was indeed fine, Yuroketsu was completely relieved.
The next thing to do is to determine the authenticity of the existence of Tailed Beasts, as well as the background of the unidentified and huge group of Lightning Release ninjas.
After Shima recovered some physical strength, he set off again with Chakra, Yuroketsu and others, arriving at the exit at the other end of the canyon.
Yuroketsu asked the Land of Night ninjas and Samurai who came over to take over to lead Zhimo back, while he and Hokuto continued to carry out the exploration mission.
Rather, this mission officially begins after the rescue of Shima is successful.
However, considering the difficulty of the task, the four of them did not take immediate action. Instead, they planned to take a rest first and make long-term plans before investigating the abnormal situation that occurred in Land of Fields.

In a cave.
There was a ninja wearing black Ninja Outfit gathered together, and everyone had their faces covered.
He is neither wearing the Forehead Protector that should be worn in a ninja village, nor is there any particularly obvious logo.
There are about dozens of black-clothed ninjas in this huge cave.
The leaders were three ninjas with extremely powerful auras. Each of them had an unusually strong physique, far exceeding that of an average adult male.
Even if they deliberately cross-dress, they can't hide their strong and tempered physiques.
The other ninjas stood in the distance, responsible for guarding and patrolling, looking at the three leading ninjas with awe from time to time.
"This mission is really troublesome. I didn't expect Nine-Tails's power to be so terrifying. Even Kinkaku and Ginkaku couldn't suppress it, and it caused heavy casualties on our side."
"Not only that, now Masters Kinkaku and Ginkaku have been swallowed up by that beast. Now the situation is very unfavorable to us."
"If anything happens to Master Kinkaku and Master Ginkaku, Lord Raikage will be blamed..."
The three of them shuddered when they thought of the scene where Raikage was angry.
Although their Raikage was defeated by Madara Uchiha, that is not a shame. On the contrary, many people think it is an honor.
Because when dealing with Raikage, that Madara Uchiha used his own body.
It can only be said that the strongest has its own strong opponent. Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are the two insurmountable peaks in this era.
Under these two peaks, their Lord Raikage is one of the four strongest ninjas along with the other three First shadows.
Further down, there are Personal Guard of First, Wu of Iwagakure, Shamon of Sunagakure, Tobirama Senju of Konohagakure and others.
"That's not all. According to the information from the fourth team, the Aburame Clan ninja of Land of Night has been in Land of Fields before and found traces of us. The news may have leaked out."
"Land of Night's General Puppeteer... He is a very scary ninja. I heard that the puppets around him can use Ice Release Ninjutsu and can act autonomously like living people."
"With our current strength, we will probably be defeated quickly. We cannot be the opponent of General Puppeteer."
Although as ninjas from big countries, they look down on ninjas from small countries, General Puppeteer of Land of Night, Oda Yayoi, is an exception.
That was a powerful existence that could fight side by side with Land of Earth's Dust Release ninja Wu, and it had also passed the test of Madara Uchiha.
They don't think that the troops gathered in Land of Fields can pose any threat to such an existence.
This powerful strength, whether recognized or questioned, is an iron-clad fact.
"Hurry up and confirm the current situation of Lord Kinkaku and Lord Ginkaku. Although the Sensory unit has confirmed that the two adults are not dead in the belly of Nine-Tails, but if time goes by, even those two adults may..."
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Nearly two weeks have passed since the 'Sir Kinkaku' and 'Sir Ginkaku' in their mouths were swallowed by Nine-Tails.
An ordinary ninja would have died long ago.
But those two adults are different. They are descendants of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, born with powerful physiques, and the extremely terrifying Chakra.
Among Kumogakure, only their Raikage can convince these two adults.
Although it is difficult to imagine how those two people survived in Nine-Tails's belly, as long as those two people are still alive, it means that even if the mission to capture Nine-Tails fails, the loss is still acceptable.
"Report!"
At this moment, a ninja in black rushed in with the name Body Flicker Technique.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
One of the three leading ninjas responded.
"Yes!" After a pause, the black-clothed ninja reported the situation as quickly as possible, "The sixth, seventh, eleventh, thirteenth, and eighteenth groups deployed at the border of Land of Fields, close to Land of Night, have just been confirmed to have lost contact."
"Damn it! Did they move so fast? It's clear that the Aburame Clan ninja only had a few days to escape. Are you sure it was the Puppeteer general who took action?"
"Unclear, no Ice Release substance residue was found at the scene."
"The situation is really difficult. We can't delay it any longer. If it doesn't work, we will have to retreat."
Originally, the loss of capturing Nine-Tails was a bit too heavy. If General Puppeteer of Land of Night intervened, no matter how unwilling he was, he would have no choice but to give up and escape. We cannot lose all our manpower here.
"Well, before that, let's confirm the situation of Nine-Tails. It would be best if the two adults, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, can escape safely."
"Okay, everyone, there is no time to rest. Let's take action."
Under the shouts of the three leaders, the figures of the black-clothed ninjas in the huge cave flashed Body Flicker Technique one after another.
In less than a second, only some waste materials were left in the huge cave, and the ninjas disappeared completely, as if they had never been here before.

Land of Fields.
In a secluded forest.
Uchiha Izayoi and Uchiha Meirou are holding dry food and water to replenish their strength.
Unlike the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere at the beginning, both of their faces now showed a rare look of exhaustion.
Especially Izayoi's face was even more tired than Meirou's, and there were even scratches on his clothes from the battle.
However, her black eyes were clear and translucent, showing a rare excitement.
Obviously, this bloody mission made her very satisfied.
Previously, they followed Yuroketsu and found several unidentified ninja teams that appeared at the border of Land of Fields. They then quickly attacked and annihilated or captured all these ninja teams.
As the weakest member of the team, she also killed one Jonin and several Chunin alone.
Compared with archeology and treasure hunting, this is the task that ninjas should do.
"Don't get too excited, Izayoi. Turn on Three-Tomoe Sharingan and kill a ninja of that level. It can only be said to be barely qualified."
Meirou didn't want Izayoi's mentality to expand, so he gave it a little blow, and then pointed out Izayoi's shortcomings in the battle just now.
"Of course I know this kind of thing. I just haven't done anything with anyone for a long time, so I can't help myself."
Izayoi muttered and took a big bite of the soft dough.
At this moment, rustling footsteps came from the grass, and Hokuto and Yuroketsu came back.
Both of them were stained with blood. It was obvious that the bones of the surviving prisoners were very hard. Even with Sharingan and Genjutsu, the resistance of these prisoners was very fierce. As a last resort, they could only cooperate with Genjutsu and use some extraordinary means to obtain information.
"Is the interrogation over?"
Meirou turned his head and asked.
Hokuto nodded.
"The interrogation has ended."
"What's the result? Is it Hidden Cloud Village's ninja?"
Izayoi also asked.
Most of the ninja teams that were annihilated by them were proficient in Lightning Release. One of them, Jonin, even used the powerful Lightning Release Nintaijutsu. It took a lot of effort for ninjas like Hokuto to successfully solve it.
"Well, it's the Kumogakure ninjas from Land of Lightning. They found traces of Nine-Tails in Land of Fields territory, so they wanted to capture it secretly. They were led by the Kinkaku Ginkaku brothers of Land of Lightning."
Hokuto Briefly and comprehensively describe the information obtained during the torture.
But his expression was not relaxed, and it was obvious that the information he had learned was a bit extraordinary.
"Kinkaku Ginkaku... these two monster brothers? I heard that they have Six Paths Ninja Tools in their hands, or the descendant of Sage of Six Paths."
Meirou's face became serious, obviously he had heard of the reputation of Land of Lightning's monster brother - Kinkaku Ginkaku.
"Did they successfully capture Nine-Tails?"
Izayoi asked the key question and was more concerned about the answer to this matter.
"No, it was a complete failure. Kinkaku and Ginkaku were swallowed by Nine-Tails. They are still in Nine-Tails's belly. I don't know whether they are dead or alive."
Yuroketsu opened his mouth to answer.
Based on his knowledge, he felt that the two brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku should have died in Nine-Tails's belly.
"Haha, you really can't steal the chicken but lose the rice."
Izayoi laughed sarcastically.
She doesn't have a good impression of these powerful ninjas.
The reason is that after the mission systems of the ninja villages of these big countries are established, it will be difficult for these ninjas who retain the old customs to receive any decent jobs.
Although she always complained about Yayoi giving them messy archaeological and treasure hunting missions, she would always work hard while scolding them.
Not every employer is as generous as Yayoi, giving money readily and never haggling.
Before this, they often had to negotiate with their employers, wrangling in various ways, wasting a lot of time, and possibly not getting satisfactory remuneration.
This situation has become even worse after the establishment of the mission system in the Ninja Village.
It made her want to kill her several times.
Before the appearance of the ninja village, these bastards were not like this.
Senju Clan is really born evil, and created such a wicked product.
"What to do next?"
Hokuto looked at Yuroketsu.
The other party is the employer, and his opinion takes priority.
"I have sent someone to ask Master Yayoi for instructions. I believe there will be a reply soon."
Yuroketsu replied, sat aside and began to recover his strength.
Hokuto and the three of them stopped talking and sat silently, eating and waiting for Nightview City's reply.
