"Um?"
Seeing that two Sand Ninja had been Lightning Spear, Shin'un's lips curled into a faint smile.
Then, seeing a large group of Sand Ninja chasing after them without stopping, Shin'un's smile faded.
After three years of battlefield experience, he is indeed much stronger than before, but he still can't withstand being surrounded. So many Sand Ninja chasing after him could wear him down with just one Ninjutsu each.
At that moment, Sparrow killed the Sunagakure Chunin who had ambushed him.
"Walk!"
Hatake Sakumo constricted slightly when he saw the large group of Sand Ninja chasing after them. Once everyone's battle was over, he immediately led his group to turn around and leave.
Pulling along the Yakushi Nonō, who had been watching the whole thing, Shin'un followed closely behind Hatake Sakumo.
Ten seconds later.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"..."
One figure after another appeared Body Flicker Technique, stopping beside the three corpses of Sand Ninja at the edge of the wall.
In just a few seconds, a group of Sand Ninja had surrounded the corpses.
Suddenly, the crowd parted, and camel figures appeared.
Upon seeing that the squad of Jonin he had left outside the town to buy time in case the encirclement failed, had become corpses in such a short time, Tuo's brows immediately furrowed.
Then, he looked at his wife beside him.
Camel and camel were not only comrades-in-arms but also husband and wife. They had a great understanding of each other. When camel saw her husband's eyes, she immediately understood.
"Clear."
Leaving the camel behind, Luo led most of the Sand Ninja to continue the pursuit.
Watching his wife's receding figure, Tuo lowered his head and began to examine the corpses.
Just now, besides the old man who was confirmed to be a spy in disguise, there were three others.
They were a dark-skinned middle-aged man, a plump middle-aged woman, and a short little girl.
Without a doubt, these three, like the spy, were all in disguise and cannot be counted.
A man with dark skin might actually be a fair-skinned, beautiful woman.
The overweight middle-aged woman may actually be a robust man.
As for the petite girl, that's somewhat true, since height is hard to fake...
Of the four, apart from the young female spy who has already been exposed, the identities of the others remain unknown.
Now, a Jonin and two Chunin have been killed in just a few seconds. The other side is likely to be a famous Shinobi World master. Camel thinks it is necessary to examine the corpses in order to deduce the identity of the other side.
It doesn't matter if we don't find them; we can just catch up with Luo and the others later.
"Examine the body!"
While issuing orders to his subordinates, the camel itself rushed to the body.
After all, the details one can observe are always limited, and it always requires collaboration with others to achieve perfection.
He often accompanied his wife, and the two of them knew this well when dealing with an enemy.
"Um?"
Upon reaching the nearest corpse, the camel immediately noticed the large hole running through its chest.
He crouched down to examine the area more closely, hoping to gain more information.
There were two wounds inflicted on the corpse by the enemy: the missing right arm and the pierced chest.
The two locations share similar characteristics, suggesting they were injured by the same attack.
The camel reached out and probed the hollow in the corpse's chest.
"Clang!"
Before he could even exert any force, a chunk of flesh was forcibly ripped off by the camel.
Upon seeing this scene, the camel was immediately astonished and lifted the flesh and blood on its hand to examine it.
"Has it been carbonized by the high temperature?"
Looking at the corpse before him again, Tuo had some ideas.
"Charred, punctured, evaporated, high temperature..."
Lightning Release Ninjutsu?
Combining this with the lightning ring that had left a deep impression on him before, which had delayed all the Sand Ninja, Camel guessed the type of Ninjutsu the opponent was using.
"Proficient in Lightning Release, must be Jonin."
After some thought, Camel set his sights on the little girl who had reacted quickly when surrounded by his puppets.
His intuition told him that she was the one who used this Ninjutsu.
"Is it that little girl?"
"Judging by his height, he should be quite young. Is he a genius?"
Thinking this, the camel stood up.
Looking at the corpse of the Sand Ninja before him, he clenched his right hand, which was gripping the charred, bloody flesh.
"Now that such a genius has come to the Land of Wind, he shouldn't even think about leaving..."
The hunchback loosened its grip on its right hand and sensed someone approaching from behind.
Turning around, I saw Sand Ninja rushing over from another pile of corpses.
"Report!"
The camel nodded in acknowledgment.
"Speak."
The Sand Ninja who came to report took out a Kunai that had been broken in two and handed it to the camel.
"This is?"
After taking the two pieces of Kunai, the camel quickly realized something was wrong.
The cut on the Kunai was so smooth, as if it had been cleaved in two by some extremely sharp blade.
"This cut is indeed too smooth. Kunai are made of high-quality steel, so it's easy to break or cut them, but it's rare to see a cut as smooth as a mirror."
He raised his head and looked at the Sand Ninja in front of him.
"You mean one of the four is skilled in escaping Wind Release?"
According to Camel's understanding, only Wind Release Ninjutsu with sharp characteristics could create such a smooth cut.
To everyone's surprise, the Sand Ninja shook his head immediately after hearing the camel's reply.
"My lord, it's not only Wind Release that can create such a cut."
"I've seen a similar Kunai with a similar cut elsewhere before; it was an attack launched by a man as sharp as a knife."
"Now, I suspect that the attack that created this incision was carried out by the same person as the one I saw before."
The hunchback squinted its eyes.
Who are you talking about?
Upon hearing his superior's question, the Sand Ninja swallowed hard and answered.
Upon hearing the name uttered by the Sand Ninja, Camel's eyes widened, and excitement gradually began to rise within him.
As he ran, Shin'un turned to look at Hatake Sakumo beside him.
The scene of Hatake Sakumo wielding his short sword, leaving a trail of blade light in the air that lingered for a long time, still lingered in my mind.
Just one glance felt like a stab to the eye, as if a sharp blade was hanging in front of me.
Shin'un felt that the slashes Hatake Sakumo unleashed at that time were not his peak...
Aside from the Third Hokage and the Sannin, Hatake Sakumo was the fifth Kage Level shinobi from Konoha that he had come into contact with.
Unlike the others, Hatake Sakumo's aura was more outward and sharper, giving Shin'un the feeling that he was not a ninja, but more like a group of samurai from the Land of Iron.
"Still a long way off~"
Compared to Hatake Sakumo, Shin'un felt that he was still weak. He was afraid that even if he were the Sand Ninja who had just died under White Fang's blade, the outcome would probably not be much better.
Shaking his head, Shin'un stopped thinking about it. Since his strength was insufficient, he would simply double his training when he got back.
I saw it!
The chirping of sparrows sounded beside me.
Shin'un looked up and saw a Anbu Ninja were waiting.
They were drawn by the signal flare fired by the sparrow, and when they saw that the three people who had gone to the town were safe and sound and had even brought back a nimble old man, they were immediately relieved.
The two groups of people silently and quickly merged together, surrounding Shin'un and his three companions, especially Yakushi Nonō, who was disguised as an old man. According to the pre-prepared plan, they changed direction and headed towards the Land of Rivers.
