I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

However, the being that had approached showed no intention of concealing itself. It casually pushed aside the dense grass and bushes and stood directly in front of the Leaf Village.

Her short, off-white hair framed her slightly chubby cheeks, and her minimalist attire revealed no trace of power or influence, making her appear like the most unassuming girl next door.

However, not a single Konoha ninja lowered their guard.

After all, an ordinary girl next door wouldn't appear here so quietly. Moreover, the figures behind her, wearing white masks and standing on the giant tree, already revealed the identity of the newcomer.

The opponent is a ninja from the Land of Hot Water!!

"Konoha ahead, halting for all who come!"

The Konoha squad leader, positioned on the lookout tower, roared with all his might.

At the same time, his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly, and his fingers behind his back were urgently making a gesture of alert, even a preparation for battle!

Because they came with ill intentions!

This hostility stemmed not only from the sudden, armed approach, but also from a sense of unease, agitation, and even a hint of fear:

Those beings wearing white masks were carrying heads with perfectly flat cuts in their hands!

Although they couldn't tell who the owners of those heads were due to the distance, there was no doubt that their owners were no ordinary people.

The crowd moved about, demonstrating the formidable execution capabilities of the Konoha ninja.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of distinct auras descended upon this small space, forming an invisible semi-encirclement around the unfamiliar visitors.

If any of those guys in sight show the slightest threat, they will inevitably suffer a thunderous strike!

And most importantly, this is only the power that is openly revealed.

Behind the scenes, countless unseen forces are lurking, waiting for their chance to strike!

Faced with such a situation, and with combat personnel nearly dozens of times larger than their own, they were at a disadvantage.

Chino's face showed not the slightest emotion; in fact, the emotion hidden in her eyes was contempt, utter contempt!

Only cattle and sheep can graze in herds.

【Let me show you the Blood Dragon Eye, and the power of the Land of Hot Springs!】

As crimson blood filled his eyes and eerie black blood gushed down, the blood dragon with nine ferocious heads crashed down, shattering ancient trees and crushing thorny bushes, and stood tall on the land where the border markers of the two countries stood.

That enormous body, seemingly reaching to the heavens, and that unrestrained, overwhelming pressure, were as if it were about to destroy the world!

This is,

The Blood Pool Clan's unique secret technique: [Blood Dragon Technique!]

The scene that unfolded before their eyes caused the Konoha ninja stationed there to swallow hard.

Because without a doubt, the ability to concentrate chakra outside the body, and at such a high intensity, has already surpassed the level of everyone present on the Konoha side.

Only the clan leaders and elite ninjas of their own villages could probably rival the opponent in terms of resources and prestige.

"The person in charge here, come out!"

Chino spoke in a cold voice.

She didn't use much force, but every Konoha ninja present, including those lurking in the shadows, clearly heard the sound.

Because this is a secret technique: the [Empty Cicada Technique]!

Such a question immediately caused some commotion on the Konoha side.

Aside from the terrifying nine-headed dragon looming in the field of vision, releasing the most dangerous and terrifying deterrent signals, the gathering of garrison personnel from several adjacent border areas has also led to some confusion in the organization.

In this extremely short period of time, the village did not send out a single truly prestigious garrison commander.

It's difficult to decide who can represent Konoha in the dialogue.

After all, anyone could see the girl's strength and her hostile intentions.

However, the commotion did not last long. Amidst the exchange of several gazes, the middle-aged man who had been standing on the watchtower walked out of the controlled area on his own.

"My name is Shima Mitsuhiro. I wonder what your intention is in leading your troops to the border without cause?"

He was originally a ninja stationed in the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water, and the dark green ninja armor he wore indicated that he had sufficient seniority. Therefore, it was not inappropriate for him to act as a negotiator at this time.

At the same time, his words maintained a moderate and steady attitude, neither arrogant nor humble, and never lacking in manners.

Although the chakra energy form manifested by the newcomer looked terrifying.

But they're from Konoha!

Moreover, how does such power compare to that of the Uchiha clan member?

The unusual events that occurred in the village a month ago have spread to various border areas as people have been relocated.

Everyone is saying,

That clan, which had once been in an irreversible state, now has a real chance of revival under the leadership of that once-in-a-lifetime genius!

"For no reason?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's voice suddenly rose a notch, and at the same time, a bloodstained letter appeared between her raised fingers.

"You bunch of self-righteous old fogies from Konoha, in league with Kumogakure, the Land of Iron, and Akatsuki, put pressure on my Land of Hot Springs, and you call that unprovoked?"

"If you don't believe me, then see for yourself!"

As he spoke, he threw the blood-stained letter toward the Konoha leader in his line of sight.

At Chino's level, even flying flowers and leaves can become killing tools, let alone simply throwing them.

However, before the letter carrying the secret could even travel halfway, a lithe figure suddenly darted out from the shadowy, hidden place, accompanied by a sharp, alarming shout:

"Captain Shima, be careful! The ninjas from Kumogakure have already safely withdrawn from the Land of Hot Springs. How could these guys possibly have obtained such information? This must be a trap set by the Land of Hot Springs!!"

Not only that, but a blazing chakra flame arrived first, burning the letter to ashes before it could be accepted.

The contents of that document were naturally not made public.

As for this suddenly appearing ninja, besides wearing the dark green ninja armor that represents the elite of Konoha, there was another rather obvious mark on his body, which was the generation crest symbolizing the Sarutobi clan!

Such remarks naturally aroused the vigilance of the Konoha side.

Ultimately, they simply could not accept that their Third Hokage would secretly ally with their mortal enemy, Kumogakure, and the terrorist organization Akatsuki.

This is definitely a frame-up!

It's a trap!

"Huh?"

"It seems you're quite knowledgeable about what's going on in Kumogakure."

"Could it be that you were the one secretly contacting the advance force of Kumogakure?"

Chino's voice was quite unfriendly, with obvious sarcasm and ridicule, and the Empty Cicada Technique allowed such speculations to reach the ears of every Konoha ninja.

"However, your message is far too outdated."

"Haven't you noticed that Kumogakure hasn't contacted you all night?"

Although she had no direct evidence to prove everything, that did not stop her from continuing to incite the morale of Konoha's army.

If the very will of fire, which has long since lost its true nature, falters even slightly, it will be a great victory!

after all,

The ninjas stationed on the border of the Land of Waves were not initially on guard against the Land of Hot Water, but rather against the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village, which could move south at any moment!

The blood feud between the two sides is deeply rooted.

If it is confirmed that the Konoha leadership actually has some unclear connections with their arch-rival, Kumogakure, then the consequences could be quite interesting.

"Oh, right."

"You don't actually think there's only one secret letter, do you?"

As she spoke, another letter, its paper stained with blood, appeared between the girl's fingers.

"My lies are deceiving the public!"

"This guy is definitely trying to demoralize our troops. We need to capture her, bring her back to the village, and let the mountain tribes investigate who's behind this farce!"

Sarutobi Yoriyuki was somewhat flustered, because he could already hear some whispers and doubts around him.

Although he didn't know the real situation and had no private contact with Kumogakure, he couldn't ignore the fact that Lord Hiruzen was being unjustly slandered!

Of course, if true, he would definitely eliminate the source of danger immediately!

And it wasn't just her alone; as she spoke of capturing him, several ninjas hidden in the shadows rushed towards the girl who was alone at the front of the line.

They want to strike first and gain the upper hand!

But just then, as they barely crossed the boundary marker, a muffled 'hum' sound erupted in the air!

This ear-piercing sound, while giving onlookers the most genuine feeling of palpitation, also paved the void with streaks of blood.

All the Konoha ninjas who dared to cross the border, whether Chunin in light green armor or Jonin in dark green armor, were abruptly halted in their charge, their heads severed and only their bodies remaining from inertia!

【Wind Release: Wind Slash!】

The culprit was none other than a black-haired ninja standing behind the girl.

However, the mask and the large cloak he wore completely concealed his face and figure; the only thing that could be seen was his ten fingers, which were folded together in the air.

"Those who overstep their bounds shall die!"

Chino's voice fell just as the crowd surged around her.

Chapter 401 Unreachable Empathy, the Gradually Unmasking of Konoha's Mask

【! 】

Such a scene was truly bizarre, terrifying, and extremely shocking to the Konoha ninjas!

It's not an illusion.

It wasn't a dream.

The blood splattered on the grass, the slowly rolling head, the fading breath—all of these prove one thing!

The death of a companion!
