The brown bear squad leader faced even more enemies, his body covered in needles like a hedgehog.

Some of the needles pierced his throat, heart, and other vital organs.

Before dying, the brown bear squad leader had a change of heart and wanted to check on the condition of his men.

He turned his head and saw that the fox was still alive.

The next moment, his eyes behind the mask were filled with sympathy.

The luminous light was startled.

Why should he pity himself?

Instinctively, the luminous light lunged forward!

Behind him, Juzo Biwa's guillotine was already slashing towards Yoru's waist!

How can a man's back be injured?

As he was about to die, Ye Guang heard the exciting sound of chains!

That's the sound of the Vortex Clan's Vajra Chain Sealing Technique!

Two chains were nailed to the ground on either side of the luminous object, blocking the decapitation blade.

The moonlight shimmered on the ground, revealing the approaching figure.

A ninja wearing the badge of the Daimyo's Guardian Ninja of the Land of Waves!

Behind him were many Uzumaki ninjas; all the ninjas who had come on missions in the Land of Waves had arrived.

The silhouette of Youjia's slender body appeared in the mist.

She brought in reinforcements!

Chapter 22 Mysterious and Reliable

Ye Guang sighed, relieved that his life had been saved.

The cry of a white egret came from behind.

Ye Guang quickly turned his head and saw a long-beaked egret blocking a thousand steel needles for him.

"Don't get distracted! These are the elite ninja of the Mist!"

The vortex landed beside Ye Guang.

The high-slit skirt fluttered in the wind and mist.

Her firm legs were right in front of the moonlight.

At that moment, Ye Guang thought the vortex was extremely beautiful.

"Sorry, the company commander's death distracted me a bit."

The Guardian Shinobi and the Uzumaki Shinobi have made their move.

Countless chakra chains shot out, clanging and striking Biwa Juzo's Executioner's Blade.

The loquat tree suffered repeated defeats.

More Mist Ninja emerged from the mist.

Yuga Whirlpool whispered, "Let's go! Leave this to them! The two of us will go protect Princess Kushina!"

Nightlight's eyes shone brightly; his mission was to cover the rear. Now that the daimyo was protecting the ninja, he hadn't completely abandoned his mission.

I'll report the situation here to Captain Yellow Dog.

The light followed Youjia away from the vortex, running for more than two hundred meters before breaking out of the fog.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

The Azure Sparrow Squad was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Cloud Ninjas more than 100 meters to the side.

The Yellow Dog Squad closely pursued Kushina Uzumaki and her group, preparing to intercept another group of Cloud Ninja.

Seeing this, Yuuka was about to rush towards the Cloud Ninja to stand behind Kushina Uzumaki.

Night Light calculated his own strength and realized that it wouldn't work; there were too many Cloud Ninjas, and he was still very likely to die. He had to think of a way.

He said to Whirlpool Yuja:

"Yoga! Princess Kushina is only 7 years old!"

She's quite petite! Your large, long-armed egret can easily carry her!

This way she can escape the encirclement as soon as possible!

By diverting the trouble, as long as Kushina Uzumaki isn't here, the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja naturally won't be here either.

If Kushina dies, then so be it; my own life is more important.

Yuga Uzumaki finally understood. Yes, why fight against the Cloud Ninja? She now had a flying summoning beast and could take advantage of the air.

The ability to fly is a rare ability in the ninja world; 99% of ninjas cannot fly.

Yuga conjured a giant white heron with a long spear, which flew toward Kushina.

"Sixth Grandfather! I've formed a new flying summon! Let Princess Kushina go first!"

The head of the sealing team in Vortex Hidden Village, the sixth grandfather of Vortex Yuga, had a sudden flash of interest.

This is a good idea.

Everyone can die here, but Kushina must escape.

Kushina has a special physique and has a great chance of becoming a Jinchūriki, or even a perfect Jinchūriki.

If Kushina becomes a Jinchūriki, Uzushiogakure will become even stronger, just like Takigakure with the Seven-Tails.

Kushina Uzumaki was thrown into the air.

The 3-meter-long spear-wielding egret screamed and grabbed Kushina Uzumaki's shoulder.

Kushina Uzumaki flew into the sky, her hair a vibrant red, redder than any of the other Uzumaki ninjas.

Ye Guang quickly looked at Yun Ren.

Just as he had expected, the Cloud Ninja discovered that their mission target had flown away and spun off a large force to pursue Kushina Uzumaki.

The pressure on the Yellow Dog Squad suddenly decreased.

After two months of fighting in the Land of Waves, the Yellow Dog Battalion was reduced to a wrecked force, with more than half of its soldiers killed or wounded.

"Captain! The guardian ninja of the Daimyo of Uzushiogakure have joined the battle! They've held off the Mist Ninja! Captain Brown Bear has unfortunately been killed in action!"

The yellow dog glanced back at the thick fog not far away and said, "I understand."

Two companies were wiped out, and the remaining two companies were also reduced to ragtag soldiers. Of the battalion of more than 60 men, only 19 remain.

The casualty rate in the Dark Division is too high.

"Keep up with the summoned beasts! Princess Uzumaki is our primary target!"

Ye Guang followed at the very back of the group.

There's good news: his squadron leader is gone, and he's completely free as long as the Yellow Dog Captain doesn't give him direct orders.

Thanks to Kushina Uzumaki's petite figure, the Spear-wielding White Heron maintained its speed and flew very fast.

The situation has changed. Previously, it was the Konoha Anbu blocking the Cloud Ninja, but now it's the Spear-wielding Hakuro and Uzumaki Kushina at the forefront, the Cloud Ninja in the middle, and the Konoha Anbu behind.

The Cloud Ninja ran forward desperately, forcing them to split up their forces to delay the Konoha Anbu.

One by one, the Cloud Ninja squadrons were dispatched to the rear to cover the retreat.

Ye Guang followed behind the main group, carefully looking for an opportunity to strike.

One of the Cloud Ninja was sent flying, staggering backward.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Guang used the Body Flicker Technique to leap behind the Cloud Ninja, and using the force of his fall, pierced his chest with his ninja sword.

He drew his ninja sword and disappeared behind the ANBU.

The recent ANBU captain, Black Gorilla, glanced sideways at the fox-masked ANBU member, whose timing was perfect.

His own squadron suffered heavy losses, so after the battle, he was asked to join them.

Through constant battles, Ye Guang gradually became familiar with the physical techniques and the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

His teleportation technique is getting faster and faster.

He also discovered a little trick.

When jumping, chakra is concentrated in the calves and feet to increase speed, but when landing, chakra also needs to be concentrated in the legs.

In this way, you can stop instantly upon landing and enter a combat stance.

The battle raged from the coast all the way to the heart of the Land of Waves.

With excellent control over the vortex, the long-lanced egrets specifically choose to fly over areas with complex terrain.

Rocky beaches, swamps, and towering mountains.

The pursuit is becoming increasingly difficult.

After annihilating three Cloud Ninja squadrons, the Cloud Ninja finally gave up.

Without the help of the Mist Ninja, the Cloud Ninja alone would not be able to stop the Uzumaki Ninja and the Konoha Anbu.

After continuing their journey for several hours, the Yellow Dog Captain selected a secluded mountain hollow for the team to rest.

Yuka Uzumaki was enjoying the praise from the class leader of the sealing class; her contracted flying summon beast had become the key to the battle.

With this summoning beast, Yuka Uzumaki leaped over the Chunin level and gained the strength of a Special Jonin.

She turned her head from time to time to look at the fox in the distance who was pretending to sleep while holding a ninja sword.

Fortunately, the fox gave an early warning, otherwise she would not have been able to arrive with the support troops in time.

Yuka Uzumaki will not tell the leader of the sealing team, the fox, that the fox is a spy sent by the Senju clan to Konoha's ANBU. The fewer people who know this, the better.

Only by meeting someone of the Senju clan's patriarch or elder level can one attempt to subtly probe their intentions.

Sending spies into the Dark Side is a grave crime that the Senju clan will never admit to.

Unbeknownst to him, the fox had given Yuga a new impression, becoming both mysterious and reliable.

Each time they met, the fox would unleash a new ability; the fox's teleportation technique always surprised Yuka Uzumaki.

That's clearly the kind of skill one can achieve after practicing the Body Flicker Technique for at least two and a half years.

"Sister Youjia, this white bird is so beautiful."

Kushina Uzumaki stood on tiptoe to be as tall as the slender legs of the Spear-wielding White Heron. She touched the feathers of the Spear-wielding White Heron with great affection.

"I wonder what kind of summoned beast I will have in the future. The feeling of flying is so wonderful."

Yuka Uzumaki said, "Princess Kushina, you will definitely have an extremely powerful summoning beast in the future, maybe even a tailed beast."

After a short rest and replenishing their supplies, the group continued their journey, circling around from the Land of Fire to the Land of Whirlpools.

As Ye Guang watched Kushina's retreating figure, he was filled with worry, wondering if he could survive the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan.

Chapter 23 The Transparent Barrier

There is a narrow strait between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire, so narrow that a bridge could be built to cross it.

Despite being closer to the Land of Fire, the Land of Waves' mission share has consistently belonged to Uzushiogakure.

After crossing the strait and entering the Land of Fire, Captain Yellow Dog ordered his men to find Nightlight.

The yellow dog captain looked Ye Guang up and down, then said, "You're the only one left in the brown bear squadron. You're not strong enough to be a squadron leader, so I'll assign you to the black gorilla squadron."

Ye Guang nodded. He observed the Black Gorilla Squadron Leader, who was tall and exceptionally robust, and whose physical skills were clearly very strong. He wondered what abilities the Black Gorilla Squadron Leader possessed.

They drew the Shadow Clone Technique from Captain Antelope and the Body Flicker Technique from Captain Brown Bear; the Anbu members had all sorts of good stuff.

Upon arriving at the Black Gorilla Squadron, the squadron leader first assigned Nightlight to act alone.

As the squad leader, Ye Guang was not a good candidate for being assigned to another squad. The other squads were also heavily damaged and unwilling to assign members to Ye Guang.

The team moved on.
