Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 33: Reluctant to bear children but unable to trap the wolf

A detachment of Konoha was stationed at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Springs.

Because the camp is located by the sea, the rain in this area is heavier than the light drizzle in the Land of Fire.

The falling raindrops splashed on the ground, making it look as if it were raining from both the sky and the ground.

A strong wind carrying a sudden downpour kept blowing, making the leaf flags in the camp stand upright, and the tents rattled violently in the wind and rain.

call!
Inside a tent, the stove burned warmly, dispelling not only the darkness of the night but also the chill in the air, bringing a touch of comfortable warmth.

Two figures lay peacefully asleep on the bed by the stove, their eyes closed, while two other figures sat by the window on night watch.

Danzo brought four teams of Root ninjas to the border camp, but when he returned to Konoha, he took two teams with him, leaving only two teams.

Two ninjas on night duty lifted the sake from the stove and poured it into a bowl, making a splashing sound.

As steam rose and the aroma of warm wine filled the air, the two men narrowed their eyes slightly.

"Good wine indeed." The female Root ninja exclaimed after taking a sip.

“This is a specialty from the Land of Hot Water. If Lord Danzo hadn’t written to say that we could go back to the village tomorrow morning, I wouldn’t have shared it with you,” another male Root ninja, who was more cheerful, joked.

In fact, Konoha ninjas have three prohibitions: the first prohibition is extravagance, the second prohibition is lust, and the third prohibition is alcohol.

However, ninjas are also human and need to release stress. They will more or less touch one of these three forbidden areas. If there were no demand, the FUNFUN Street, a place of pleasure, would not have been built not far from Konoha Village. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was a veteran of pleasure when he was young.

This is especially true for Root ninjas; if they don't release the negative emotions that have accumulated in their hearts, their mental state will gradually collapse.

Of course, even while secretly drinking, the two did not let their guard down.

After all, the relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha is tense right now, and they wouldn't risk their lives.

"Drink less," the female Root ninja said.

"It's alright, the perception barrier has been open the whole time."

The male ninja seemed to be quite fed up with the harsh life at the border, and it was hard for him to contain his emotions when he learned that he could return to the village tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, the female ninja did not try to persuade her further, but she put down the wine bowl in her hand.

Snap... Snap...

The sound was like rainwater sliding from the eaves and shattering on the ground.

The sound wasn't strange.

But the female ninja inexplicably felt uneasy and subconsciously frowned, looking carefully outside the tent.

All that could be seen was the raging wind and rain, the misty rain obscuring everything, but the perception barrier did not issue any warnings.

What's going on? Where did this strange feeling come from?
What's missing?
Or is there something else?
"..."

After a moment of silence, the female ninja glanced outside the tent, nudged her companion, and said, "Hoshi, something seems off."

However, the moment she exerted a little force, she suddenly felt the strength in her hand vanish.

Thump...thump thump...

The female ninja instinctively turned her head to look, only to see her companion fall to the side, her head, with a hint of joy on her face, sliding off with a series of crisp sounds like a soccer ball hitting the ground, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

In that brief moment, the female ninja suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There was no sound of breathing, the breathing was too faint. Of the four people in the tent, only she was left.

A faint smell of blood has appeared, growing stronger with the wind.

It came not from outside the tent, but from inside the tent.

However, by now, it's too late.

*Thud.* A cold glint of light flashed by, and inside the light-filled tent, a few drops of blood splattered onto the tent.

Dressed in a black robe, Hyuga Kumokawa hung upside down above the two of them, pulling his index and middle fingers, which were joined together, from the female ninja's head. A thin layer of chakra blades was gathered on his fingers.

"Root ninjas are indeed not as sharp as Anbu ninjas."

Hinata Kumokawa glanced out of the corner of his eye at the two people on the two beds behind him, whose heads had also been pierced by his and who were now lifeless.

The sound of raindrops that the female ninja heard was actually the sound of the two men's blood dripping.

If they hadn't placed too much trust in the perception barrier, perhaps they could have detected the anomaly even faster.

But who would have thought that Hyuga Kumokawa could conceal his senses? Even Pain had to take a detour when facing Konoha's barrier.

Hinata Kumokawa spent another thousand points on the way to further enhance the "Shadow Robe's" ability to block perception.

In terms of infiltration skills, probably only a very few people can rival him.

"What a pity, what a waste of a 'doll'."

Hinata Kumokawa glanced regretfully at the headless corpse, put it into the scroll, and then used the Heart Wheel Binding God Seal to control the other three corpses.

This ability cannot stop the corpses from decaying, so if the corpses cannot be made into human puppets, these three corpses will rot in no time.

Moreover, without Toneri Otsutsuki's giant Tenseigan, he is not yet able to control nearly a hundred puppets like Toneri Otsutsuki. His current limit is ten puppets.

Hiashi Hyuga is still alive, and controlling living people requires occupying five "slots".

"However, it's enough."

Hinata Kumokawa glanced at the three dolls kneeling in front of him and gave them the order to imitate their actions in life and await further instructions.

Then, he silently recited in his mind again: "Manifestation - Otsutsuki Ruins".

"Layout - a five-layered underground palace structure, impossible to perceive with sensory abilities. Each layer requires chakra to open, with more chakra needed as you descend. At the entrance is a stone carving of the Ten-Tails, and the base is inscribed with an inscription left by 'Otsutsuki Kumoshiki'. The inscription reads..."

Hinata Kumokawa pondered, roughly sketching out the imagined underground palace ruins in his mind. After several additions, the system's voice finally stopped asking for various details.

[Having spent 13000 Realization Points, will it materialize?]

"..." Hinata Kumokawa's eye twitched. "How much did you say?"

This was the first time he had conceived of such a large-scale "project".

[Having spent 13000 Realization Points, will it materialize?]

"You're aiming to drain me dry, aren't you?" Hinata Kumokawa gasped, then asked inwardly after a moment of silence, "What if it takes a massive amount of chakra to open the dungeon, just to reveal the overall structure and entrance, along with the details I mentioned?"

[Having spent 3000 Realization Points, will it materialize?]

Upon hearing this, Hinata Kumokawa's eyes flickered slightly.

After pondering for a long time, he thought of the shadow robe he was wearing. Although the system was always unscrupulous, it always seemed to be worth the money, perfectly matching his needs and even adding some details...

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Kumokawa's pupils narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Manifest!"

[After deducting 3000 Realization Points, remaining Realization Points: 10651]

The moment the notification sounded in his mind, Hinata Kumokawa felt a tremor beneath his feet.
