In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

It was that familiar sound of footsteps again.

Han Guang strode over.

Do you recognize me?

"Ok?"

A dozen or so Mist Ninjas sized up Han Guang, each with a suspicious look on their faces.

"Judging from your expressions, I already know the answer."

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Before Han Guang could move, Namikaze and Kakashi moved first.

"Hey! I'm the bodyguard!" said B.

Chapter 71 The Three Parties in Standoff! A Cold Light Arrives!

Less than two minutes to go.

More than a dozen Mist Ninja were killed.

Han Guang counted: Teacher Men killed 12 people, and Kakashi killed 1 person.

"You guys acted too quickly, you didn't leave me a single one."

Obito gripped his kunai and shouted, only rushing forward after the battle was over.

His words successfully drew a lot of eye-rolls.

"Let's go, let's take a different route."

Without cleaning up the battlefield, the Ninth Squad quickly left.

only.

When they switched to another route, Class 9 was stunned.

There were several corpses of Mist Ninja lying haphazardly on the ground, seemingly pierced through the chest by powerful force.

Han Guang walked up to the corpses and looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Did I kill these Mist Ninja?"

He scratched his head, feeling a little incredulous.

If he remembers correctly, he doesn't think he's ever been on this route before.

"Strange, we shouldn't have been here before," Hongdou also sensed something was wrong.

"Then who killed these Mist Ninja?" Lin asked, puzzled.

After a careful examination, Namikaze discovered subtle traces of lightning-attribute chakra.

"It must have been done by the Yunren."

"Kumo Ninja?"

Han Guang touched his chin.

The Yunren are shameless.

"Let's go, let's take another route."

Namikaze gestured.

If we continue walking here, the Mist Ninja will definitely think that it was their Team 9 who did it.

That would be such a misunderstanding.

So, Class 9 started taking a detour again and switched to the next route.

As a result, they hadn't gone far when they encountered several more corpses of Mist Ninja.

"Damn it! Who did this?"

Han Guang couldn't help but curse.

The bodies were horribly mutilated, riddled with holes.

"Why do I feel like I've seen this corpse die somewhere before?" Kakashi asked, puzzled.

“I think I’ve seen it before too,” Obito chimed in.

"Oh right! The time at Supply Station No. 3!" Lin remembered.

As she spoke, she pointed to the red bean.

"Back then, Anko used a kunai to poke the roots of those three men many times, just like these corpses."

"What? Red Bean killed the root?" Uzuki Yugao covered her mouth, incredulous.

at this time.

Hongdou looked completely innocent.

Those three root members were clearly killed by Han Guang; she was merely threatened by Han Guang and stabbed the corpses a few times.

Namikaze looked at it again and shook his head.

"The fatal wound has been removed, but these kunai wounds are probably for cover."

"It's highly likely that it was done by the Sand Ninja," Han Guang concluded.

“I think so,” Namikaze agreed.

Next.

Class 9 changed its route once again.

Not surprisingly——

They encountered another corpse.

The ground was cracked, a chest was pierced, and there were traces left by the explosion.

"It must be Iwa ninja! They're trying to cover up the traces of Earth Release with explosive tags."

Han Guang made the judgment at a glance.

Currently, Class 9 is facing an important problem.

There are only four roads leading to Kirigakure. All four roads are littered with corpses.

How to do this?

Class 9 was deep in thought, and Namikaze also fell into deep contemplation.

"No need to think about it anymore, let's take this route." Han Guang had an idea.

"What if we're misunderstood..."

"No, it won't happen." Han Guang shook his head.

He continued, "There must be people from other ninja villages ahead of us. If they're walking in front, then they're definitely the ones who did it!"

Namikaze suddenly realized.

Kakashi understood as well.

The remaining four people seemed to understand but not quite.

"Wait a minute, what if the people ahead of us didn't encounter the Mist Ninja, but we did?" Obito asked a question.

"Heh~~ You're saying you didn't encounter the people ahead? Do you have any proof?" Han Guang retorted.

Obito looked shocked.

He discovered that Han Guang's logic was truly untraceable.

Every time they come up with an excuse, it's always perfectly timed.

At noon.

During the team's short break, Namikaze unfolded the map and confirmed their current location.

"We are now less than fifty miles away from Kirigakure Village."

"When we get close to Kirigakure, Kakashi and I will infiltrate, while Han Guang and the others will provide support outside."

After hearing Teacher Men's suggestion, Han Guang pondered for a moment.

"Teacher, are you sure you can gather intelligence after infiltrating?"

"It should be possible."

"Alright then." Han Guang chose to believe.

He wasn't too worried about the safety of his teacher and Kakashi, after all, his teacher had the Flying Thunder God Technique.

in the afternoon.

The team continued on their journey.

The surrounding fog gradually thickened, and a towering mountain peak appeared and disappeared.
