I see,

It was that strange inbound traveler!

In the blink of an eye, he had already moved ten meters away!

[Secret Technique: Mirror Flower, Water Moon!]

"Chase!"

“That guy must be a spy from the Land of Hot Water. We can’t let him go back like this.”

The squad leader, jolted awake by the call, barely managed to utter a frantic roar before the boy in his sight mysteriously vanished from his spot!

And when they spotted the other person again, that person was now even further away.

Is this... a monster?

A sense of terror surged within his mind, but before it could fully dissipate, an even more terrifying warning erupted from behind him.

"Detonating Talisman!"

"It's an explosive tag! Spread out, everyone!!"

【? 】

【What? 】

Not only the captains of these two samurai squads, but all the members felt the same sense of sluggishness.

“It’s available here too!”

“Everywhere!”

"Leave! Leave quickly! Leave the camp! Leave all the camps!!"

Terrified screams rose from all directions.

Everyone noticed the threat that had been placed next to them!

Just like that roaring sound, all I could see were explosive tags!

In an instant, the atmosphere of shared hatred was torn apart, and panic gripped the hearts of all the samurai. This most orderly human army in the ninja world was instantly transformed into ordinary humans scattering and fleeing.

Of course, any force, any legion with a firm will, would be on the verge of collapse here!

Ultimately, no one can truly face death directly, or truly confront the fear that suddenly descends upon them with equanimity!

They were utterly defeated and abandoned.

This word perfectly describes the collapsed Iron Nation faction.

And countless warriors, in such panic, trampled and collided with each other, causing unnecessary harm.

but,

The explosive tags plastered all over the tents seemed like a joke; not a single tag exploded until all the samurai had evacuated the area!

"what happened?"

"Is it a fake detonator?"

"Whose prank was this?!"

The fact that the detonation tag had not yet been activated immediately angered and puzzled some of the warriors.

teasing,

They were blatantly mocked!

What enemy attack, what outsider invasion—it must all be a farce staged by some unscrupulous fellow within our own ranks!

Otherwise, who, who, would dare to stroll around in a camp where thousands of warriors are stationed? How could they possibly hide from their eyes and ears?

This is absolutely impossible!

【boom! 】

However, just as this thought was growing stronger, a sudden, explosive sound erupted on the ground without warning, spreading throughout the sprawling camp!

And such an explosion was like opening Pandora's box, bringing with it evil, fear, and tangible destruction!

[Boom boom boom!!]

A series of surging, explosive sounds erupted in an instant.

The raging flames seemed to reach the heavens!

The discussion abruptly ceased, the anger that had been rising in their hearts vanished, and only a genuine sense of panic returned.

This event, until many years later...

The warriors of the Land of Iron were all able to recall the fear of being dominated by that intruder on the same day!

Chapter 400 The usurper shall die!

In the early morning, the gentle sunlight spilled into the rolling mountains and forests.

Tranquility and peace are sensory experiences that people enjoy for a fleeting moment.

However, any ninja or samurai who has received systematic training will quickly feel an inner unease upon arriving here.

Because these mountains and forests, which support countless lives, are just too quiet.

The chirping of insects, the singing of birds,

There was not a single sign of life.

The most likely reason for this situation, besides powerful predators establishing their own territories in this area, is the presence of humans!

That is indeed the case.

If you look closely, you can still make out the gradient fabric material through the gaps in the leaves.

Of course, this could also be because the garrison in this mountain forest didn't really want to hide, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to find any trace of these guys so easily.

"Captain, what's going on lately? Why is the village so wary of the Land of Hot Springs?"

The young ninja, standing on the makeshift watchtower, asked with some confusion.

This question had been weighing on his mind for a long time, especially as more and more comrades were being transferred from the two adjacent border lines, making the doubts even more pronounced.

After all, compared to the rising fame of the Land of Hot Springs, the Hidden Mist Village, which had launched a full-scale war against Konoha and caused the deaths of countless comrades, should be guarded against even more.

Even though the latter has been closed to the public for three whole years.

"Moreover, wasn't the destruction of those warriors from the Land of Iron their own doing? They clearly upheld the will of peace and swore an oath not to get involved in any conflicts, yet they still arbitrarily approached the spheres of influence of other countries."

"Won't our actions cause some unnecessary trouble?"

The young ninja's face was full of worry, and his voice began to sound uncertain.

He was born at the end of a war-torn era and had a certain understanding of the cruelty of war from a young age, but he grew up in a rare era of peace.

Therefore, we hope that this period can be extended indefinitely.

Three years ago, the all-out war that took place on the eastern border of the Land of Fire further strengthened its desire for peace!

No one wants to see their companions or relatives die needlessly in such an event.

Currently, with no indication of any intention to invade or any special action taken by the Land of Hot Water, the fact that the government is simply reinforcing its forces is making them somewhat uneasy.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, who was called the captain, couldn't help but have a slightly darker expression.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard such comments, but he really wanted a good explanation or answer.

Therefore, all he can say is:

"A ninja's duty is to obey orders."

"These are not things you should be considering."

His voice and words clearly conveyed the dignity and respect of a senior.

However, he seemed to feel that such an answer was too rigid.

Noticing the slight disappointment on the faces of several younger colleagues, he slowly added:

"If the Land of Hot Springs truly harbors no ill intentions, then we will surely live in peace with them."

"Because the current Third Hokage advocates peace, Konoha will never launch an invasion against any force without a reason."

"However, this world is very complex, and there are undercurrents between countries. Especially in our Fire Country, we are surrounded by various forces, large and small, and these forces have all tried to take a share of our territory in the past."

"Therefore, we must always be wary of others. The redeployment of troops from other defense zones is naturally based on considerations from above."

The middle-aged man spoke moderately, his weathered eyes gleaming with unwavering certainty.

With unwavering certainty about their third-generation lord!

"Alright, that's all for now. It's getting light, time for our shift change."

Sensing the presence of several people nearby, he ended the conversation.

A ninja's duty is to resolutely carry out orders from above, and not to meddle in things that are not his or hers to ask about.

This was also what he adhered to throughout his life.

"Yes."

The team members who received the order immediately responded.

But just as they were preparing to take over from the arriving ninjas, a young ninja suddenly noticed something unusual in the corner of his eye.

The plants and trees in that field of vision seemed to be moving?

Do not,

It's not just a possibility, it's a certainty!

"Captain, something's wrong!!"

The young ninja, realizing this, instantly became alert.

Actually, saying he's young is only relative. You can tell from his light green ninja armor that he's a Chunin who has carried out many missions.

Upon hearing such a voice, the middle-aged man suddenly turned around, his piercing gaze like a lighthouse in the boundless night, instantly locking onto the place where the anomaly had occurred.
