In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

Looking around at everyone, Troy continued.

"Those Konoha genin will die, but we will also lose many comrades!"

"Trade the lives of those low-ranking ninjas for yours? I refuse!"

Ultimately, the raid was cancelled due to Troy's insistence.

However, before retreating, he still ordered his men to set up a large number of explosive tag traps inside and outside the fortifications.

In this way, if Namikaze comes to investigate again, they might suffer a great loss.

The other side of the river.

Namikaze looked solemn as he watched Ninja Taka land in the fortifications on the opposite bank.

Several small teams also looked out.

Everyone was on edge.

"Oh no, the Cloud Ninja army is coming." Someone muttered quietly.

"What are you afraid of? Coward!" Obito glanced at the other person and recognized him as Ebisu.

They really have no guts.

After sparring with Han Guang several times, Obito's courage has clearly grown considerably.

He's seen it all before.

"All squads, be on high alert tonight," Namikaze ordered, his expression serious.

It was already getting dark, and no matter how confident Namikaze was, he wouldn't dare to venture across the river to scout at this hour.

That night, several teams were destined to be sleepless.

Early the next morning.

Namikaze crossed the boundary river and appeared near the Cloud Ninja fortifications.

Carefully maneuvering around several traps, he began his reconnaissance.

"no one?"

Seeing that only the explosive tag traps lying haphazardly inside the building, Namikaze fell into deep thought.

On the tree trunks by the roadside.

"Cold light!"

Kakashi nudged Hanguang, his face filled with anxiety.

"Huh? It's dawn?"

He flipped over on the tree trunk, and Han Guang almost pushed Kakashi off.

"I discovered traces of numerous ninjas passing by."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this news, Han Guang immediately sat up.

"lead the way!"

The two walked through the woods and arrived at the foot of the mountain where they had rested earlier.

"look here!"

Kakashi jumped up into the tree and pointed to the trunk covered with muddy footprints.

Han Guang observed for a while, then shifted his gaze to another tree.

There, too, were numerous muddy footprints.

After observing more than a dozen trees, Han Guang squatted on a tree trunk and began to ponder.

"These footprints extend from the direction of the border towards Daming Prefecture."

"First of all, this can't be a Konoha ninja; it can only be a Kumogakure ninja!"

"So many footprints, the vanguard of the Cloud Ninja?"

Grass!

Han Guang couldn't help but swear.

This is clearly the vanguard of the Cloud Ninja retreating, and they even deliberately bypassed the ruined supply station.

"I can't believe I ever miscalculate?"

Han Guang felt a little regretful.

He originally thought he wouldn't find anyone squatting on the mountainside, so last night he squatted on a tree by the roadside. But the result—

The Cloud Ninja's reinforcements failed to arrive, and even the Cloud Ninja on the front lines circled back from the foot of the mountain.

"If I had been on the mountainside last night, I would definitely have spotted these people."

The Cloud Ninja's tactics are incredibly sophisticated, making them impossible to guard against.

Seeing Han Guang cursing, Kakashi didn't want to interrupt.

After all, he had experienced what it felt like to be played.

After a while.

Seeing that Han Guang's emotions had calmed down, Kakashi then came closer.

"What do we do next?"

"Go back! The Cloud Ninja have already withdrawn their vanguard; the main force certainly won't take this route."

Han Guang knew very well that there was more than one route to enter the Land of Fire.

This route is simply the fastest one.

The Cloud Ninja could easily bypass the Land of Waves or the Land of Sound.

In that case, it would be difficult to find a supply depot for the Cloud Ninja.

Because the area is too large.

Chapter Fifty: Affinity Trait! The Entrustment of Moonlight Hayate!

On the way back.

Han Guang, Kakashi, and Uzuki Yugao were walking along the road.

Strangely, Han Guang kept glancing at the woods by the roadside, as if he had discovered something.

This alerted the other two, who split up to investigate.

"There's no one in the woods." Kakashi turned back, puzzled as to why Han Guang kept looking at the woods.

"There's no movement from the other side either," Uzuki Yugao replied.

This is strange.

Since there's no one around, why is Han Guang staring at the woods?

In the end, it was Kakashi who asked the question.

"Han Guang, is there anything unusual in the woods?"

"Hmm? Don't you think the trees are lovely today?"

While responding, Han Guang shifted his gaze to the woods.

"cute?"

"Trees are cute?"

Kakashi was a little confused, and even Uzuki Yugao was full of questions.

This was the first time they had ever heard of trees being described as lovely.

But in Han Guang's eyes, the trees today are indeed somewhat cute.

It was even rustling and greeting itself.

"So what's wrong with me? Did I suddenly become a tree lover after just one night's sleep?"

Even Han Guang found this strange.

Actually, he had been in this strange state ever since Kakashi woke him up in the morning.

"Could it be because my attributes doubled?"

Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't checked his attribute panel today.
