In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

"go!"

A patted Killer Bee, and both of them burst into lightning.

Using Lightning Release: Instantaneous Movement, the two of them pushed their speed to the limit, creating a crater in the ground.

Then——

The two brothers jumped off the cliff.

Maki and Yecang followed closely behind, rushing towards the cliff.

"Jump!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two jumped down one after the other.

Zizzi~~

Numerous trees sprouted from the ground and grew rapidly.

"Go back!"

The loess reacted too late, and they were filled with regret.

He never expected that Han Guang, that brat, would make a move so suddenly.

By the time he retreated, the Cloud Ninja and Sand Ninja had already jumped off the cliff.

Fortunately.

This is on the mountainside, and the area is not large.

With their trusted aides dodging the attacking branches, the two leaped off the cliff.

All three forces fled.

Han Guang stopped using Wood Release.

Seeing the figures rushing down the mountain, he did not give chase.

Down the mountain.

"Big brother! That brat Han Guang is so stupid, he doesn't even use physical techniques."

While running wildly, Killer Bee didn't forget to tease the brat.

"Do you think he really wants to kill us?" Ai reminded him.

In Ai's opinion, if Han Guang really wanted to kill them, he would definitely use taijutsu, not wood jutsu.

Because the area on the mountainside is not large, Wood Release cannot be used effectively.

"Huh? Then what was his reason?"

"Perhaps it's just to test Wood Release..."

the other side.

Maki and Yekura were both aware of this problem.

"Why did he use Wood Release? If he had used taijutsu, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all." Yekura was full of doubts.

“How would I know?” Maki shook his head.

They knew Han Guang's speed very well; even if they chased him now, he could catch up with the two of them.

Clearly, the other party did not do that.

Regarding the Iwa ninja.

"Lord Huangtu, did he let us go on purpose?"

"Probably." Huang Tu was feeling irritable.

Because he realized a big problem.

Konoha now has two Wood Release ninjas.

and.

That cold light's strength is definitely more than that.

"The AB duo had clearly encountered Han Guang before, but they were equally shocked by Wood Release."

"This shows that Han Guang has mastered far more than just Wood Release; he has other techniques as well."

mountain top.

Through the misty white fog, Class 9 gazed at the Hidden Mist Village.

Faintly, sporadic explosions could be heard.

There were even occasional flashes of light.

"It seems that Kirigakure is really in turmoil."

Han Guang muttered to himself.

He didn't believe Hozuki Genryu's words, but came to the mountaintop to see for himself.

“In that case, even if we find evidence, it will be meaningless,” Namikaze sighed.

"Yes."

As previously predicted, even if evidence is found that Madara secretly controls Kirigakure, Kirigakure can easily shift the blame to the defeated side.

In this way, it will not only have no impact on the Fog Shadow, but will also solidify the winning side's position.

"This is no coincidence; it must have been planned by Madara Uchiha."

Han Guang secretly made a guess.

He never believed in coincidences; he only believed that there must be something fishy about anything unusual.

"Teacher, does this mission count as a failure?" Obito leaned over and asked.

"I suppose so! But there's a reason for it, and I'll explain it to the Third Hokage." Namikaze didn't seem to care much.

On the way back.

Han Guang was deep in thought.

He had a feeling.

"I think I overlooked some important information during this mission."

He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer.

"Am I overthinking?"

He stroked his chin, then decided to give up on the idea.

shore.

"You guys actually managed to come back alive?"

The boatman was surprised to see the ninth boat arrive at the shore unharmed.

He had previously sent many people to the country illegally, but none of them had ever returned.

"Maybe we were just lucky." Namikaze chuckled and led Class 9 onto the ship.

The dense forests of the Land of Waves.

As the Ninth Class traversed the dense forest, an unexpected person appeared.

"Orochimaru?"

Seeing Orochimaru blocking their way, Team 9 became alert.

Han Guang put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Orochimaru.

"Door, I've been waiting for you here."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse, and he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

"Orochimaru, you are now a rogue ninja of the village, and I have a responsibility to bring you back." Namikaze said solemnly, a kunai appearing in his hand.

"Arrest me? This is just one of my clones." Orochimaru didn't care at all.

Doppelgänger?

No wonder.

"You waited for me here specifically for something?" Namikaze asked, frowning.

"I'm just asking you, why did you blow up my lab?"

"I didn't blow that up," the doorman said, shaking his head.

"Not you?" Orochimaru's voice rose a few decibels.

Subsequently.

His gaze fell upon the cold light.

"Han Guang, if it wasn't your teacher who did it, then it must have been you?"
