At the Teleportation Anchor camp, defensive construction progressed steadily under the Chunin captain's direction.
First, the Ninjas skilled in Earth Release were gathered to build multiple earthen walls together using Earth Release Ninjutsu.
Luo Yu also used Wood Release to reinforce the camp's walls.
Against Chunin-level Mutant Beasts, these defenses would be almost useless.
Still, they could slow the advance of Genin-level Mutant Beasts.
Their efforts were better than nothing.
With everyone hard at work on the preparations, the tense atmosphere gradually eased.
Just then, the scout on the watchtower reported, "Five hundred meters ahead, a Black-Scaled Python over ten meters long is moving rapidly toward us!"
"Our preliminary estimate puts it at Chunin Third Stage."
Those words instantly put everyone on edge again.
Was the Mutant Beast army about to attack?
"I'll take a look." Luo Yu nimbly climbed the nine-meter watchtower.
Scarlet ocular power surged through his pupil, and Three Tomoe appeared in an instant.
Within several hundred meters, everything became clearly visible under the Sharingan's penetrating gaze.
Sure enough, a Black-Scaled Python was slithering through the distant forest, moving rapidly toward the camp.
What struck him as suspicious was that the python seemed to be holding something alive in its mouth.
Judging by the outline of the chakra fluctuations coming from it, Luo Yu suspected it was a living person.
Seeing Luo Yu reveal a Sharingan in one eye sent everyone's imaginations running wild.
"It's just like the news said. His right eye is a Sharingan."
"Did Luo Yu inherit Kakashi Hatake's legacy?"
"But I remember that everyone who inherits Kakashi's legacy has a Sharingan in their left eye."
"Maybe it's a previously undiscovered ninja legacy."
"Then why can he deactivate his Sharingan, unlike Kakashi's inheritors?"
"That explains it! Kakashi must have taken this mysterious Uchiha's Sharingan."
