In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

“By the way, if we don’t run, we’ll probably die there.” Ai’s tone was grave.

"Impossible! I possess the power of a tailed beast..."

"it's useless!"

Ai shook her head.

"I heard my father say that Konoha has a forbidden taijutsu technique! Once used, it can unleash terrifying power dozens of times greater than normal."

"what?"

"If that brat possesses this forbidden technique, we will both surely die."

Ai's guess was not baseless.

Because that brat who only knows physical skills was too calm.

"Ah~~"

Han Guang sighed.

He originally intended to witness the power of the Eight-Tails and then seal the two of them away using Planetary Devastation.

Unfortunately, the enemy's tactics were too sophisticated, making it impossible to guard against them.

Whoosh~~

Kakashi turned back, looking puzzled.

"Han Guang, why did they suddenly run away?"

"I was going to fight them to the death, and then they ran away."

Han Guang shook his head, showing utter contempt for Kirabi and Ai.

"This..." Kakashi was speechless.

what is this?

Tactical intimidation?

Those two Cloud Ninjas, with their formidable strength, actually ran away just because Han Guang said "Let's fight to the death"?

After thinking it over, he came up with a reason that seemed reasonable.

"They probably weren't confident they could defeat you, so they ran away."

"Maybe."

Han Guang lost interest.

border line.

on the hill.

Namikaze looked at the Cloud Ninja fortifications on the opposite bank of the river, feeling a little worried.

"Han Guang didn't activate the spell yesterday, and he still hasn't today."

He gave Han Guang a special kunai, but so far, the spell on it has not been activated.

"What was he thinking about?"

"We've encountered a crisis."

Chapter 48 One man intimidated the entire Cloud Ninja!

on the hill.

Six teams of Konoha genin are cooking over a fire.

Compared to yesterday's high morale, their spirits are generally low today.

Because there's still no news from the infiltration team.

“Han Guang and the others must have been surrounded and captured.” Obito, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"Don't talk nonsense! Maybe they're hiding it very well," Lin retorted, a little angry.

"Judging by the time, even if they are slow, they should be back today."

Hongdou sighed.

You should know that the Cloud Ninja's supply depot was destroyed by an infiltrator team yesterday at noon. Logically, they should have returned yesterday.

"Don't glare at me. Look, isn't Teacher Men just standing there in a daze too?"

Seeing Lin glare at her, Hongdou pointed to the door of Namikaze, which was behind her.

"And look at Gale, he's started coughing again."

Not far away, Moonlight Gale coughed incessantly.

This is an old problem of his; he coughs whenever he gets anxious, and the more anxious he gets, the worse he coughs.

Clearly, Gekko Hayate felt that Uzuki Yugao was in grave danger.

At that moment, Namikaze walked over.

"Don't worry, Han Guang might have some other ideas."

With a gentle smile on his face, Namikaze reassured the group.

Reminded by Teacher Men, Obito suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Is Han Guang planning to stay near the supply depot and cause continuous damage?"

It has to be said that under the influence of Han Guang, Obito's IQ rose sharply.

“That’s possible.” Namikaze nodded.

Then he added, "You must trust Han Guang. Sometimes his ideas even surprise me!"

indeed so.

Standing amidst the ruins, Han Guang offered a bizarre yet familiar suggestion.

"Kakashi, go get some planks."

"A wooden plank?" Kakashi's head was full of question marks.

"Yes, wooden planks, is that difficult?" Han Guang asked in return.

"No."

Kakashi drew his short sword, ready to chop down the tree.

"What about me?" Uzuki Yugao also wanted to take on a mission.

"You, think of some insults to Yunren, the more vicious the better." Han Guang stroked his chin and assigned the task.

Bang!

Kakashi, who was about to chop down the tree, missed and struck a rock instead.

Malicious slogans?

This mission seems so familiar.

after an hour.

Several planks were nailed to the trunks of trees along the roadside.

Han Guang glanced at the slogan above and was speechless.

[Cloud Ninjas are prohibited from passing through]

[Cloud Ninjas are prohibited from passing through]

[Cloud Ninjas are prohibited from passing through]

Looking at the harmless slogan, Han Guang couldn't help but glance at Uzuki Yugao.

"Is this the vicious slogan you wrote?"

Feeling a little scared under the cold gaze, Uzuki Yugao was a little frightened.

"I don't swear."

"Ok?"

Han Guang was stunned, recalling his time at the ninja academy.

Indeed, he really didn't remember Xiyan ever swearing at anyone back in school.

"Han Guang, when are we going back?" Kakashi asked.

"Let's wait two more days. If the Cloud Ninja still haven't arrived, we'll leave."

According to Han Guang's estimation, the main force of the Cloud Ninja should be not far away.

The appearance of Killer Bee and Ai is the best proof of this.
