Death in an instant!!

Beyond this boundary marked by the boundary marker, it's as if a death scythe hangs there, too sharp for ordinary people to look at directly, ready to sever any outsider who dares to overstep its bounds!

【in the end,】

What on earth is going on?!

Hundreds of Konoha ninjas fell silent at that moment, only their trembling eyes and unconsciously bobbing Adam's apples proved that they were still alive.

"wind."

"It's the wind!"

After what seemed like an eternity, or perhaps the next second, a Konoha ninja standing outside the boundary suddenly awoke and revealed the true reason for this bizarre scene.

Just now, during the strange event, Yu Zhi heard a mysterious 'click' sound.

Upon closer inspection, a straight-cut branch and the marks etched on the giant tree near where it stood were clearly traces of a Wind Release ninjutsu.

"It's that ninja from the [Lightning Squad] who possesses the special bloodline limit, Typhoon Release."

He continued with unwavering conviction.

This is the intelligence that Konoha has gathered over the past month, since several surrounding forces had previously hired this group of righteous thieves.

Although several years have passed, the traces of the other party's existence cannot be completely erased.

This warning immediately put the hearts of the Konoha ninjas present to a screeching halt. Bloodline limits, without exception, all represent immense power!

Furthermore, the "Lightning Squad," which claims to have taken over the affairs of the Land of Hot Water, is composed entirely of bloodline limit users, even though the initial data only showed five members.

But these five individuals were the ones who buried several secret squads from the Blood Mist on this very land!

The formidable nine-headed blood dragon, the chilling scene of its head severed from its body, and the secrets hidden beneath the masks worn by its members all testify that this emerging force is not to be trifled with.

For a moment, faced with this terror and power, not a single person from Konoha dared to speak out about the death of their comrade, especially since it was indeed their comrade who had crossed the border first.

However, there was one thing that the Konoha ninja misjudged.

That being who formed hand seals and unleashed a thunderous strike was not Kazeshin, who possessed the Typhoon Release Kekkei Genkai from the [Lightning Group], but rather Ara, who had changed his appearance and was hiding among them.

The former's typhoon escape technique is known for its massive destructive power, making it difficult to erase it so secretly and quickly. This is the power of the wind demon, Kamaitachi!

"Go back and tell those old geezers."

"If you want to start a war, do it face to face. If you continue to sneak around and use underhanded tactics, don't blame us for responding accordingly."

"Don't blame us for being unethical then!"

The Konoha ninjas remained silent for a moment, but Chino's voice remained cold. She showed no remorse for the blood that was gradually staining the field, nor did she feel the slightest fear because her opponent was the strongest ninja village, Konoha.

Furthermore, the fully awakened Blood Dragon Eye possesses a unique ability that would make any force feel troubled.

And this is solely determined by whether the owner wants to do it!

Such a blatant threat immediately sent a shiver down the spines of the Konoha squad leaders at the forefront; they could truly feel the determination emanating from the Lightning Squad!

And without a doubt, both the terrifying girl who manifested this blood-red dragon and the bloodline limit user with that strange typhoon escape ability are capable of posing such a threat!

They even crossed the border, causing some damage to the Land of Fire behind them, and even to Konoha.

This is definitely not the outcome they wanted to see!

"Does your side have some misunderstanding about us?"

"My third-generation patriarch has always upheld the principle of establishing diplomatic relations based on the principle of peace, and would never do anything like forming an alliance with other countries to suppress your side."

"There must be something fishy going on here; it might just be one of the provocations that the Hidden Cloud Village is known for."

"In the past, our Hyuga clan was also the victim of their false accusations."

Shima Mitsuhiro's voice softened noticeably, losing its initial humility and arrogance.

Even with hundreds of companions behind him, and even with Konoha, the strongest ninja village, on his back, none of this gave him any confidence when facing such a powerful enemy and a clear threat.

His first thought was even to explain.

As for the corpses of their companions who had already lost all life, they were not even mentioned, or rather, they dared not mention them at this sensitive moment.

His experience told him that if things were allowed to escalate further, the consequences would not be limited to simply leaving behind these corpses.

It must be accountable to the majority of people.

Of course, the young ninjas behind him were indignant, clenched their fists, and even displayed aggressive fighting stances.

However, they were ultimately restrained by their respective captains and could not act arbitrarily.

"The seal of eradicating the root of calamity through the tongue."

However, when faced with such an explanation, Chino simply stated the name of this special ninjutsu.

Of course, the sound was still delivered to the ears of every Konoha ninja through the [Empty Cicada Technique].

However, the sealing ninjutsu such as the "Tongue Trap Seal" is not well known to the world, and most of the Konoha ninjas present looked blank upon hearing it.

Among the hundreds of Konoha guards, only a few senior ninjas, or those whose clothes still bore the generational crests of their clans, were truly moved by this technique.

Because they had more or less come into contact with those terrifying forces hidden underground during the war, it could even be said that Konoha was able to maintain its defenses and vigilance against external forces despite occupying such fertile land and being surrounded by powerful enemies, largely because of the existence of those guys.

just,

Could it be!

Shima Mitsuhiro's pupils continued to dilate, and his gaze, fixed on those heads, trembled incessantly, filled with terror.

Those were an absolute elite group that had undergone countless trials and tribulations!

There are even rumors that the secret agents directly protecting the Third Hokage were trained by that group!

Impossible, impossible!

Absolutely impossible! !

"Captain, what is the Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue?"

Such a question was raised by the younger generation of ninjas.

However, the few people in the garrison who knew the truth all remained silent, just like Mitsuhiro Shima, their faces filled with the same suspicion and bewilderment.

"Perhaps you have made a mistake."

"It is precisely because of the uniqueness of the sound of the tongue that it is easier for some people with ulterior motives to imitate and exploit it."

"therefore........."

The middle-aged man swallowed hard and explained slowly.

Without a key figure present, he was already finding it difficult to cope with the situation.

Ultimately, it's because the borders of the Land of Hot Water have been peaceful enough in recent years.

Even if the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to use this route to launch some actions, their presence would have been detected long ago when they crossed the Land of Frost and the Land of Hot Water on a large scale.

Therefore, most of the village's true strongmen are concentrated in the Kirigakure area in the southeast, the Iwagakure area in the northwest, and the Akatsuki organization from the Land of Rain, which has gained fame in recent years.

However, Chino did not respond to this explanation, but simply raised her right hand and made a gesture to her companions behind her.

Instantly, dozens of heads, their eyes still open, rolled towards Konoha due to inertia.

These were all Root ninjas hunted by the Ninja Swordsmen, which is why they were able to die in an instant and leave behind corpses!

Most of the infiltrated rats chose to drag their own ninjas down with them in their previous desperate struggle.

Furthermore, if these guys hadn't overlooked the existence within the [Lightning Squad] capable of casting large-scale defensive barrier techniques, and if Ranmaru's red eyes didn't possess insight capabilities no weaker than the Hyuga Byakugan...

Even if twice the number of Ninja Swordsmen were to arrive, it would probably be impossible to hunt down all of these elite members belonging to Root.

The root cause of this outcome is the severe lack of intelligence gathered by the Root ninjas!

When these neatly cut heads rolled in front of and under Shima Mitsuhiro's feet, he finally could no longer suppress his inner fear, which began to manifest on his body!

The involuntary trembling of the shoulders and arms is the most direct evidence of this!

Because, judging from the tongues protruding from those unclosed heads, it is indeed the curse mark of "Tongue Curse Extinction"!

If nothing unexpected happens, the owners of these heads are likely subordinates of that lord.

But what truly terrified them was the sheer number of people, the lingering fear on their faces, and the fatal blow!

These people are truly elites!

It supports the stability and prosperity of Konoha in the shadows.

Of course, such a secret was known only to these "old-timers" who had actually experienced the war and had been stationed on the border for a long time.

He still remembers watching helplessly as a Root ninja, severely wounded and on the verge of death, chose to destroy himself.

[Giving up the future, sacrificing oneself.]

This is the epitaph of this group of people!

But even such elite beings perished so tragically in their mission to the Land of Hot Springs?

What kind of terror is lurking within this emerging force?

Mitsuhiro Shima has subconsciously accepted everything as true.

Because it is perfectly normal and tacitly understood for ninja villages to infiltrate and probe each other, this is the only way to have a clear understanding of the military dynamics of neighboring countries.

"Water, Water Chamber?"

In that extremely short interval, a strange call rang out from the Konoha camp.

Looking in the direction of the sound, the speaker was a young man wearing light green ninja armor. He was staring in shock at a head that had rolled onto the grass, still bearing traces of fear and resentment.

Aside from the emotions that remain on it, youth is its most prominent characteristic.

"How could it be, how could it be!"

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't you tell me yourself back then that you were going to stay with relatives far away?"

"Why!!"

The young Konoha ninja was clearly unwilling to accept the reality before him. His staggering steps ignored his companions' attempts to stop him and the boundary markers, and he walked toward a quiet, dead corpse in his field of vision.

Those were his childhood playmates, and also his most cherished memories.
