In terms of the results, what difference is there?

Death is a serious matter, and it's not appropriate for Ye Guang to speak ill of this noble old lady.

Along the long border of the Land of Hot Springs, the Cloud Ninja constantly provoke and sabotage, leaving Sakumo Hatake, who commands four Konoha battalions, struggling to cope.

This is a long and drawn-out battle.

During the tug-of-war, both sides will organize superior forces to besiege or ambush. If they can wipe out a large battalion of the enemy, they will gain a great advantage.

Ye Guang glanced at the servants kneeling in a circle in the courtyard and gestured for Bai Yang to check the servants first.

Aries led the others to check each servant one by one, looking for any obvious signs of ninja training.

Ordinary people in Konoha Village have the opportunity to become ninjas.

The lives of ordinary people in the Land of Fire and other countries are miserable.

In better places, commoners were hired laborers; in worse places, like here, there were no commoners, only serfs.

Aries checked around but found nothing unusual among the servants.

After examining the body, Antelope said, "Captain, the body has been dead for no more than three hours."

Hua Lu came to report intelligence about the area around the noble mansion: "Captain, the assassin fled to the northeast. There are leaves that were shattered by the teleportation technique there, and footprints that are quite far apart."

Nightlight said, "Spotted Deer, your team will take off using paragliders. Aries, you use parasites to collect scents and chase after them."

The subordinates vanished in an instant.

Ye Guang said to the old noblewoman, "Please accept my condolences."

After saying that, he disappeared in an instant before the old lady could continue scolding him.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, we entered the Land of the Moon.

Paragliders fly very fast in the sky, much faster than running through the mountains.

After an hour, the deer spotted a Cloud Ninja squadron through the binoculars.

Whether or not they were the assassins of the nobles, this squadron would not see the sun rise tomorrow.

The deer sent the leaf monkey back to find the squadron, while it continued to track the Cloud Ninja Squadron.

He was very tall; if the Cloud Ninja didn't use a telescope, they could only see a black dot on the horizon, a black dot like a vulture.

The Cloud Ninja Squadron was tired from walking and rested on a hillside.

Their assassination was successful.

The killing of a nobleman and his heir in the Land of Hot Water will bring a lot of trouble to the Land of Hot Water.

If enough assassinations are carried out, the Land of Hot Springs will urge the Leaf Village ninjas to engage in a decisive battle with the Cloud Village ninjas. At that time, the Cloud Village ninjas can easily lure the enemy deep into their territory and find an opportunity to ambush them.

The Cloud Ninja Captain sat on the ground, took out his water bottle, and tilted his head back to drink water.

Suddenly! A whooshing sound rang out!

The sound of something cutting through the air was mixed with a strange, high-frequency sound of flowing water.

The water jet pierced his water bottle, causing the water inside to burst and spray onto his face.

Three screams rang out behind me.

The squad leader wiped his face and saw three of his men standing in a line behind him, their chests pierced by water.

"Enemy attack!"

The fox squad burst out of the woods.

Each squad has its own combination of ninjutsu.

Fire Release combined with Wind Release, Water Release combined with Lightning Release, instantly suppressing the Cloud Ninja Squadron from a long distance.

The Cloud Ninja Captain was extremely surprised. Why did these people all have the ninjutsu level of a Special Jonin?

The moonlight slowly emerged from the woods, nodding repeatedly.

Under his deliberate care, the Fox Squad had a low casualty rate, and many of his subordinates were growing rapidly.

The Fox Squad has overcome its lack of ninjutsu; each squad now possesses two combined ninjutsu techniques, one offensive and one defensive, amplifying the squad's overall strength.

Three consecutive rounds of combined ninjutsu left the hillside battered by flames and hurricanes, while the ground was also filled with water and lightning.

Ye Guang said to Bai Yang beside him, "In the future, when facing the Cloud Ninja, use less combined Water Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu."

The Cloud Ninja are quite resistant to electricity, so Lightning Release isn't very effective against them.

Aries nodded repeatedly as he watched the Cloud Ninja quickly break free from the paralysis effect of Lightning Release.

After the ninjutsu bombardment, more than half of the Cloud Ninja were killed or wounded. Next came the close-quarters taijutsu combat, where they reaped the rewards on the battlefield.

The Cloud Ninja captain, seeing a fox mask beneath the white hood, cried out in horror, "It's the Leaf Village's Bronze Fox, who took a direct hit from the Third Hokage!"

The Cloud Ninja didn't know how Copper Fox performed on the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, but they knew that he had withstood the Third Raikage's Four-Handed Dagger head-on in the Hidden Cloud Village and stood up again as if nothing had happened.

This story is as outrageous as a ghost story.

The Third Hokage's attack was powerful enough to pierce through a mountain peak, yet it was blocked?

Therefore, upon seeing the bronze fox, the Cloud Ninja Captain knew he was going to die.

Seeing the Cloud Ninja Captain turn and run away, Ye Guang was about to use the Body Flicker Technique, but he forcibly suppressed the impulse.

The Silent Instantaneous Movement Technique was assigned to the lower-level White Ghost, but cannot be used on the main account.

With a flick of his wrist, Ye Guang unleashed a seal, and a stream of water shot out, instantly severing the Cloud Ninja Captain, who had jumped into the air, in half at the waist.

The battle became one-sided, with the Fox Squad quickly eliminating the Cloud Ninja Company.

Nightlight captured a prisoner alive and controlled him with the Self-Binding Curse Seal.

He told Aries, "You guys stay here and handle the scene. I'll go interrogate this person."

Nightlight and the prisoners vanished in an instant.

Arriving at the woods at the foot of the hill, Ye Guang took out a scroll.

He wrote on the scroll: Return to the Cloud Ninja camp, set up a secret code, and never reveal my information.

Then, Ye Guang bit his finger and used his blood to draw a long line on the writing.

"The seal that eradicates all calamities caused by the tongue!"

The writing on the scroll, along with the blood glowing in the night, transformed into a curse mark, climbed onto Yunren's body, entered his mouth, and finally sealed into his brain.

The captive's tongue bears the incantation mark of the divination hexagram, signifying the extinction of the root of calamity.

The Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue is similar to a kind of restriction, engraving the command in the form of a seal, with extremely strong binding force.

Ye Guang sighed.

In the end, I still ended up becoming the very thing I hated most... But Danzo's Selected Products are really useful.

Ye Guang said, "I will carve a seal for you. After you return to the Cloud Ninja camp, set a secret code for me in the camp."

Yako wants to see Yakushi Nonou to get the latest information.

"No! I would never give you a signal that the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu has set up!"

Ye Guang raised his hand, activating the seal that eradicates the root of tongue-related calamities.

The Cloud Ninja were instantly paralyzed and convulsed on the ground.

"Complete the mission, and you won't be tortured anymore. Otherwise, this seal will be activated every six hours. Look at you, how much pain you're in. Even if you're made of steel, how many times can you endure it?"

The luminous figure drew a code on the ground: "Remember this code, complete the mission, and you will no longer suffer."

Ye Guang instantly disappeared, ignoring the Cloud Ninja.

Chapter 258 Nurturing Bandits for Self-Respect

After bringing the bodies of the Cloud Ninja Squadron to the mansion of the assassinated nobleman and comforting the nobleman's mother, Ye Guang led the team back to the main camp.

Upon entering Hatake Sakumo's tent, Yoko first saw a map.

The map shows the border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of the Moon.

The border is surrounded by various red and blue circles.

The red circles indicate the locations where Cloud Ninja appeared, and the blue circles indicate the locations where Konoha intervened and a battle took place.

Nightlight gestured for Aries to mark the location of their battle.

Once Aries had marked the spot, Yoru arrived in front of Sakumo Hatake.

The truly important exchanges between the two of them were all conducted through the ninja dog, Pakkun.

This is a normal task-related exchange.

Sakumo Hatake said, "Captain Fox, the Cloud Ninja's tactics at this stage are difficult to deal with."

Their goal wasn't to kill as many Konoha ninja as possible, but rather to assassinate nobles from the Land of Hot Springs.

I cannot possibly disperse Konoha ninjas to protect the nobles of the Land of Hot Springs. Along the 200-kilometer border, Cloud Ninjas could kill a Konoha squad and retreat at any time.

I want to locate the Cloud Ninja's main camp as soon as possible and organize an elite raid to end this conflict with the Cloud Village once and for all.

Ye Guang was taken aback.

The conflict has only been going on for a few days, and you're already thinking about ending it?

You finally managed to snatch the position of commander-in-chief of this conflict from Orochimaru, and before you've even had a chance to enjoy it, you want to end the conflict?

Do you understand the saying "raising a bandit to enhance one's own importance"?

Powerful ministers all begin by cultivating enemies to enhance their own prestige.

If the Cloud Ninjas appear too weak, I'd like to put on their clothes and give Konoha a good beating.

Hatake Zhao Da, you're not a bad person, but you must serve as the commander-in-chief of this conflict for a full three months, otherwise you won't achieve the desired effect of building prestige and cultivating loyal followers.

Although Ye Guang's mind was filled with countless thoughts, he said aloud:

"I will keep an eye on the Cloud Ninja's intelligence and report it immediately once I find the location of their main camp."

Sakumo Hatake nodded repeatedly; the fox was a trustworthy ANBU member. He said:

"We interrogated them to find out the location of the Cloud Ninja Camp, but the Cloud Ninja Camp has been constantly changing."

The Cloud Ninja Camp is located approximately 50 kilometers north of the border of the Moon Kingdom.

By the time we get there, they may have already moved or set up an ambush.

The location of their main camp is unpredictable, making a surprise attack difficult.

It's good that it's difficult to organize. If you were to launch a surprise attack on the Cloud Ninja Command today, I would definitely have to leak the news to the Cloud Ninja Command and tip them off.

A Konoha squad entered the tent. Seeing that they were eager to try, Ye Guang stepped aside and let the squad report.

The squad leader said, "Lord Sakumo, our squad has completed three missions. You said at the pre-battle meeting that three B-rank missions would reward the squad with ninjutsu."

"Yes, I implemented a ninjutsu assessment system during this conflict," said Sakumo Hatake.

"If a genin doesn't know their chakra nature yet, they can go to the advisor to get a chakra test strip first."

The Jonin Yamashiroji is in charge of ninjutsu rewards, and he will also give you advice on ninjutsu.

Nearby, Yamashiroji patiently waited for the genin to test their chakra attributes.

The living conditions of Konoha's chunin and genin are quite poor. Some of them have taijutsu skills at the chunin level, but they still don't know their chakra nature.

Like Naruto in the original story, he was already fifteen or sixteen years old when he learned that his chakra nature was wind.

After the ninjas finished testing their chakra attributes, Yamashiroji took out a ninjutsu scroll, opened the catalog, and selected ninjutsu for the group.

After receiving the ninjutsu, the team thanked Yamashiroji and Sakumo Hatake, and left in high spirits.

After Ye Guang and his team left, he said to Hatake Sakumo, "Lord Sakumo, if we launch a surprise attack, it's unrealistic to focus on striking at the Cloud Ninja's fighting force and ending the conflict in a short time."

Ye Guang turned to leave.

"fox···"

Hearing Hatake Sakumo's voice, Yoru turned his head in confusion.

After hesitating, Hatake Sakumo said nothing.
