I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

【This is.......】

Xi quietly bent down and saw that half of the yellowish-brown talisman was quietly hidden in the grass. It would have been impossible to find it without careful searching.

[An early warning-style defensive barrier?]

Looking at the intricate patterns drawn on it, he immediately discerned the purpose of this half-section of talisman paper.

Furthermore, comparing the information sent back by the Anbu, there were indeed two yellowish-brown talismans hanging on Ao's earlobes. It was deduced that their function was a barrier developed by the 'corpse disposal experts' of Kirigakure to protect the Byakugan from being taken back!

Unexpectedly, someone else beat Hinata to it!

Xi Xu narrowed his eyes; at this moment, he no longer harbored any illusions.

After all, the clean, flat cut was clearly evidence that it had been severed by a sharp blade.

And the other party must be a master swordsman, otherwise how could he have so easily cut off the seal hanging on his earlobe?

In particular, Qing is not weak!

He reiterated this point in his mind once again.

After putting the talisman into his pocket, Xi searched again. There were many traces of battle left in the surrounding area, including knife wounds, sword marks, various ninja tools scattered around, and injuries caused by powerful ninjutsu such as explosive tags.

However, the only thing that bothered him was an area that had been burned by fire.

The fire in this area seemed to have started naturally, not from a clash of ninjutsu; otherwise, it should have erupted much more violently. It's important to know that fire-style chakra is one of the most restless energies.

Xi bent down again and gently rubbed the soil with his fingers, but to his disappointment, he did not sense any special substances in it.

Everything that originally covered and grew on this land seemed to have been burned into nothingness.

However, this doesn't mean he gained nothing!

Looking towards the Land of Fire from this wasteland, a hurried path—no, to be precise, an escape route—slowly emerged from the chaotic traces into view.

Judging from the depth and distance between the crushed grass stems, the owner of these footprints fled in a panic, but still could not escape the shadow of death.

However, two questions still puzzled him:

First, where did those elites from Kirigakure go?

The fact that the body was completely destroyed in such a short time is terrifying.

Secondly, although he found what appeared to be traces of Qing, apart from the remaining signs of fire on the ground and the impressive swordsmanship on the barrier talisman, he could find no other information about the enemy.

Could it be that that guy can fly?

"What are you doing? Playing dead? Get back to fighting!!"

Having remained on the fringes of the battlefield for so long, Hii ​​was noticed by the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village. However, the response he received was a sharp ninja tool.

The Hidden Cloud Ninjas have no right to make a fuss about the Hidden Mist Village!

Moreover, in his perception, no one was paying attention to his actions.

Of course, even if you care, what can you do?

He has obtained all the information he wanted!

Let's leave it at that for now. Even if we stay any longer, it will be difficult to find any more clues. Lord Raikage is still waiting for my message.

As soon as he began to ponder this, Xi quietly withdrew, making sure to leave the surrounding area even more cluttered before he did so.

He naturally didn't want to leave any trace of his existence.

........

"...That's all the information I've gathered, Raikage-sama."

"What we can confirm at the moment is that the opponent is a powerful ninja who is skilled in swordsmanship."

Xi expressed his judgment very cautiously.

As for the burned area, there was no speculation that a fire jutsu was used directly, because it would be extremely easy for a qualified ninja to create a fire in the forest.

Moreover, signs of burning do not necessarily indicate the use of fire-style techniques!

There are also some special bloodline limits that can do this.

Of course, the most important reason is that the companions present, including the Raikage, all have extremely strong independent thinking and analytical abilities. The more objective the situation they present is, the more they can expand their thinking.

Otherwise, if everything is turned into a fixed pattern, it becomes a limitation.

"Swordsmanship, Fire Release."

"Is it possible that Uchiha Ara took Ao's Byakugan?"

And almost the next second, Darui, who was known as the 'Rakshasa's right hand' among the companions, murmured aloud.

Such voices immediately drew criticism.

"Huh? Senior, are you referring to Uchiha Ara, the one who sparked this battle?"

"That guy is only eleven years old, right? How can he swagger past hundreds of elite Kirigakure soldiers like that?"

"Those guys who are good at assassination aren't some kind of Iwagakure Legion!"

Omoi, with a lollipop in his mouth, said in disbelief.

It was already surprising that someone even younger could become the target of the Fourth Mizukage's obsession. Now, to suddenly tell him that the other party not only crossed the defense line of hundreds of Kirigakure elites, but also killed Ao, who had transplanted the Byakugan, before Kirigakure reinforcements arrived!

How can anyone believe that?

You should know that even the reason I am here at the Cloud Village's high-level meeting and with the Raikage is because my master is too unreliable, so he stepped in on my behalf and was conscripted.

To put it more bluntly...

The younger generation like them have no power or value that would make a major ninja village take notice.

In his view, the so-called demand for Uchiha Ara was just an excuse that Kirigakure could come up with at will. After all, now anyone could take a jab at the Uchiha clan.

"Shut up!"

Ai suddenly rebuked him.

"I told you to come along, not to talk nonsense."

"On the battlefield, never underestimate anyone!"

With his muscular physique, he has absolute control over the Hidden Cloud Village.

"After you go back, go into seclusion with your master."

“Darui, please continue.”

Ai added after shifting his gaze away from the frustrated Omoi.

Although subconsciously he felt that the possibility of Uchiha Ara killing Ao and taking the Byakugan was very slim, he could not ignore Darui's point of view.

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

After responding, Darui immediately analyzed:

"First of all, we should perhaps re-examine the whole incident: the reason why the Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure demanded Uchiha Ara from Konoha was related to the Akatsuki organization and the resurrection of Uchiha Madara, as we previously speculated."

"It's more likely that Yagura Karatachi has already foreseen something. Perhaps, Uchiha Ara holds a secret comparable to Madara's resurrection!"

"After all, the outsiders who understand the Uchiha clan best, apart from the Senju clan of the Forest who are now hard to find, are the Hidden Mist Village who have been dealing with the Uchiha clan for many years."

Upon hearing this, several of the other members of the Yun group, who were also present, all showed thoughtful expressions.

Indeed, they had previously believed that Uchiha Ara was merely an excuse for the Fourth Mizukage, at most a key that could unlock a certain secret.

But they never imagined that it itself was a treasure!

"Secondly, it's true that swordsmanship and fire release are Uchiha Ara's abilities, and judging from the intelligence gathered by the Anbu, that kid's skill in swordsmanship is by no means weak."

"As for why it's the Uchiha clan's Fire Release technique..."

"Can an ordinary ninja's Fire Release technique completely eliminate the traces of a corpse in a very short time? Or is it just a gentle, slow burning?"

At this point, Darui suddenly stopped speaking, a hesitant look on his face, as if he was struggling with whether or not he should continue.

"What are you hesitating about?"

"Don't worry about it interfering with our judgment, please continue!"

The 'Kage' of Kumogakure seem to have very impatient tempers. Even in normal conversation, they can give outsiders a sense of inexplicable authority and irritability.

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

"Then, my analysis will directly incorporate Uchiha Ara into this."

Darui responded and continued:

"There isn't much controversy about severing the barrier talisman with a single blade."

"After all, the Uchiha, who possess the special bloodline limit Sharingan, can see through most ninjutsu and taijutsu, and I believe they also have some knowledge of barrier techniques."

"Moreover, this barrier was designed to protect the Byakugan, so it may not have any protective capabilities of its own. It is not surprising that it was broken before it was even activated."

"What's truly chilling is that the guy was able to break through Qing's surveillance and get close enough to carry out the assassination!"

"You should know that the Byakugan is the most powerful eye technique known to have the strongest detection capabilities."

"I'm afraid even the Raikage wouldn't be able to escape the Byakugan's detection without making a sound."

Hearing this, Ai, who was all fat, couldn't help but nod slightly.

When he enters his Lightning Release Armor state, he can instantly kill Ao, but before that, he will inevitably be detected by the opponent. However, judging from the information brought back by Xi, the opponent was eliminated without any detection while fleeing.

There are significant differences between the two.

"Perhaps this is one of the special abilities of the Sharingan? It blocks the detection of the Byakugan."

"After all, both are hailed as the strongest eye techniques. Moreover, Ao is not a member of the Hyuga clan and cannot fully control the Byakugan's abilities."

Xi rested her chin on her right hand and questioned.

In fact, when he gathered these two pieces of information, he also considered the possibility that the instigator was Uchiha Ara, but the other party was just too young!

He simply couldn't believe that this was the work of an eleven-year-old boy.

Upon hearing such a question, Omoi immediately looked at the Raikage, seemingly expecting the latter to reprimand him as before.

However, this was destined to disappoint him.

Ai showed no intention of speaking.
