Purple Cat is not only the squad leader, but also part-time assistant to Night Light, helping Night Light to assign and record tasks and collect task reports.

For ANBU ninjas, off-duty training is a luxury. After only a week of training, Yagami received a new mission.

The yellow dog captain said:

"Fox, the Sand Ninja collected the bodies and ninja tools of the rearguard in Sand Port, including a paraglider."

An intelligence ninja reported that the Sand Village was replicating a paraglider.

Nara Umeka, the Jonin in charge of the equipment department, went to investigate the situation regarding the imitation of the Sand Ninja's weapon.

The frontline team received a distress signal from Nara Baika. Nara Baika is very important; you are responsible for rescuing her.

"Okay, I understand," Ye Guang asked.

"Captain, is there an accompanying execution mission when we send our secret service on this rescue mission?"

Is there something wrong with Nara Baika? Should we find a secluded spot along the way and kill her?

The yellow dog coughed repeatedly and hurriedly said, "Don't be presumptuous. It's not an execution, it's a real rescue, a rescue that is absolutely necessary. Nara Baika is very important to the Nara clan, so we've dispatched elite members of the Anbu to rescue her."

Ye Guang felt somewhat disappointed. It wasn't an execution; it seemed like public resources were being misused, and they had sent ANBU ninjas to work for the Nara clan.

"Fox, go see Commander Nara Deer Antlers. He will give you the details of the mission."

Chapter 147 You're Just a Laborer

Inside the commander's tent, Ye Guang saw the Nara deer antlers.

Nara Shikano stared down at the map, his brows furrowed. The war situation remained unclear.

Upon seeing the fox, he immediately smiled.

"Copper Fox, I wanted to praise you in person for your successful rearguard action at Shapo Harbor last time, but I've been too busy and haven't had the time."

"Commander-in-Chief, you've worked hard." Ye Guang said, "Time is of the essence. Regarding the rescue of Nara Baixiang, the Jonin, do you have any instructions for us?"

Nara Shikano said, "I'll give you a scroll. This scroll contains a unique code system of the Nara clan. You can only see this code in front of me; you can't take it away."

Ye Guang took the scroll and glanced at it, discovering that the code was extremely complex.

Unlike ordinary codes which use three elements—direction, distance, and time—the Nara clan's codes have six elements.

The six elements are grouped in pairs and dispersed within a certain range.

As expected of the highly intelligent Nara clan, their coded messages conveyed a great deal of information, but they caused considerable trouble for the rescue team.

Nara Shikaku said, "Meika is very clever and won't die easily. She must have found the perfect hiding place. What we need now is a strong ninja to take her away from danger and back to the camp."

Ye Guang said, "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, as long as Nara Meika is alive, I will definitely bring her back."

After memorizing the code, Ye Guang left the command tent.

For the reconnaissance and rescue mission, Nightlight brought the Aries Squad along.

According to the preliminary information in the mission scroll, Nara Baika led a group to investigate the Sand Ninja's imitation of the paraglider, but was discovered by the Sand Ninja and chased by them, making it impossible for her to return to the main camp.

Nara Baika had no choice but to turn back and venture deep into the Land of Wind, hiding in its heart.

The task of making it glow at night is extremely difficult.

Finding Nara Meika, who is hiding deep in the Land of Wind, behind the Sand Village front, and then sending her back to the main camp, is going to be very difficult.

Ten days until the full moon, Ye Guang did not want to die in the Land of Wind.

His death at the hands of Hatake Sakumo last time brought him a great boost, and he even got a title.

Whether within the Anbu, in Konoha, or among the higher-ups, he possesses considerable influence.

Choosing to die as a reward is far more beneficial than being killed during a mission.

The problem is, too often we are not in control of our own lives.

After leaving the camp, Nightlight led the Aries squad northward to avoid the front-line combat zone.

As night fell, the three members of the Aries team opened their paragliders.

Two of them took the luminous and the Aries and flew into the night sky.

The desert winds carried the paraglider into the night sky.

After using the Wind Release technique, the paraglider flew above the low clouds and, with the cover of the clouds, flew towards the Land of Wind.

Ye Guang gave up his paraglider early on, in exchange for an S-level mission reward. Otherwise, he would have been heartbroken to find out that his paraglider had been copied.

After flying for several hours, Ye Guang could vaguely see several black dots in the distance.

It's highly likely that it's a reconnaissance ninja from Konoha, and less likely that it's a reconnaissance ninja from Sunagakure. Sunagakure also made some replicas of paragliders.

"Don't panic! Keep going!"

The paragliders in the distance also spotted Ye Guang and the others and approached them.

Nightlight tilted his head and activated his single-tomoe Sharingan.

With enhanced perception, Nightlight saw the other party's details.

"It's Sand Ninja! Prepare for battle! Watch your paragliders!"

The Sand Ninja, wielding kunai, were eager to attack the Konoha gliders.

Falling from such a height, even the strongest ninja would be smashed into a pulp.

After observing the flight posture of the Sand Ninja paraglider, Night Light believed that they had only learned the basics, completely imitating it without understanding the principles, and were not very skilled at controlling the ropes.

Before the Sand Ninja could make their move, Nightlight struck first!

Water Escape · Water Breaks Waves!

A jet of water, several tens of meters long, shot out.

The water jet sliced ​​through a paraglider from top to bottom, slicing through two Sand Ninja beneath it, and finally cutting through a cloud.

The other paraglider quickly turned around, trying to escape.

That's terrifying! The Konoha ninja actually possessed such a powerful long-range water-style ninjutsu.

Oases in the desert are precious, and water-style ninjas are extremely rare. These ninjas don't even know that water-style ninjutsu can be used for cutting.

However, the paraglider turns very slowly, enough for Nightlight to use a second Water Escape: Water Severing Wave.

The second paraglider was also cut open.

Ye Guang didn't look at his own spoils; his gaze was drawn to the cleaved clouds.

Kakashi used Chidori to split the lightning and created his own S-rank ninjutsu, Lightning Blade. That night light used Water Severing Wave to split the clouds, could it be called Cloud Severing? Or Water Cloud Severing?

It's a pity that I already have a title, so I don't need another signature ninjutsu to embellish it.

Aries thought to himself, "The Fox Squadron Leader is getting stronger and stronger."

I still remember the first time I joined the Fox Squadron, on a mission in the Land of Rain, the squadron leader was very cautious.

The company commander is now used to using ninjutsu to kill enemies from a distance.

After passing through the Sand Ninja's defenses from the air, the Aries Squad carefully scouted the surrounding airspace. Finding no Sand Ninja pursuing them, the squad landed in a deserted area.

Emerging from the no-man's-land, one can play the role of a traveler from the land of wind who got lost in a storm but miraculously survived it.

Such travelers are common in the Land of Wind.

People often lose their way in storms, wandering aimlessly for days and nights, eventually ending up dozens of kilometers away from their hometown.

The Aries team changed into the attire of the Wind Kingdom, wearing headscarves and robes.

Upon entering the first town, the Aries team searched for a code, while Nightlight headed straight for the inn.

When the equipment department was rushing to produce 200 paragliders, Ye Guang had dealt with Nara Baixiang.

She was a Jonin of the Nara clan, a refined woman. Once she entered the town, it was unlikely that she would hide in a trash can for days like a male ninja.

She will probably go to a hotel first, rest, and then look for an opportunity to hide.

The hotel staff stood facing the wall in terror.

I don't know why, but when I turned around to get something, my body suddenly stiffened and I couldn't move.

Ye Guang used the Self-Karma Binding Seal to control the shop assistant, opened the hotel's ledger, and searched for the special guests who had appeared this week.

Nara Baika went missing about four days ago, which means that any woman who has checked in alone in the last four days is a target for investigation.

Ye Guang grabbed the shop assistant's shoulder.

The shop assistant heard the creaking sound of his fragile bones.

However, his jaw was locked, and he could only make soft whimpering sounds.

Ye Guang handed the ledger to the shop assistant, pointed to the names of two women, and asked:

Do you recognize these two women? If so, roll your eyes.

After recognizing the shop assistant, Ye Guang removed the self-inflicted curse seal from his head.

“Young man, don’t shout. You’re just a laborer, earning only a few hundred taels a month. Why risk your life? Tell me and I won’t kill you.”

The clerk thought about it and realized that the hotel belonged to the owner, and his wages were in arrears. Why should he risk his life for the hotel?

The shop assistant said, "This woman has two braids, and the other woman is very fat."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guang's eyes lit up; his luck was truly incredible.

Looking at the check-in records, Nara Baixiang most likely rested here three days ago.

Chapter 148 The Puppet Master's Strange Movements

Ye Guang went up to the guest rooms on the second floor and found the room where Nara Baixiang had once lived.

Using Earth Release: Earth Reflection Fish Technique to pass through the wall, Ye Guang smelled the cheap perfume.

A man and a woman lay on the bed, their clothes disheveled.

Ye Guang ignored them and searched for a coded message in the room.

He touched the underside of the table and indeed found some dents.

Bending down to look, it was indeed the Nara clan's code.

He then found the second and third sets of codes elsewhere.

This is really troublesome; I have to rearrange the three sets of codes.

Just then, the woman in the bed woke up.

"Another man here! Who do you take me for! You didn't say there was someone else here!"

The woman scratched the man's neck with her fingernails, leaving bloody marks.

The man woke up groggily and said, "What other man? It's just me."

"You still say you didn't? He's already inside! If I hadn't noticed, would he have gone to bed with me?"

"what are you saying!"

"More money! Wake up! Give me more money first!"

The two looked up into the room, but it was empty.

"Are you out of your mind to ask for more money? There's no one in this room."

The woman hummed sheepishly, admitting that she had misjudged the situation and mistakenly thought there was another person in the room.

After leaving the hotel, Ye Guang first found the Aries team and asked them to follow him to the location indicated by the coded message.

The location indicated by the coded message was the town's only lumber mill.

Around the lumber mill, Aries found a new code.

The coded message indicated that Nara Umeka had already gone to the next town.

Yako was puzzled. Nara Meika had been chased deep behind enemy lines and was not hiding in one place. Why was she running around everywhere?

They went to another small town, but only found the cipher next to the lumber mill; they didn't find anyone.

Following the coded message, they arrived at the third town.
