Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 205: The process was completely wrong, but the result was completely right!

Hidden Cloud Village.

The Land of Lightning, inside the Raikage Building.

"Bang!"

The Fourth Raikage, Aina, slammed his fist, the size of a clay pot, onto the desk, instantly splitting the sturdy solid wood table in two.

"What did you say?! The Blood Pool Clan of Hell Valley has disappeared?!"

The Raikage's eyes widened in fury, and his violent lightning chakra flickered wildly across his body, causing the ninja who came to report to break out in a cold sweat.

After the Third Shinobi World War, when the Hidden Cloud Village was redeploying its border defenses, it routinely went to Hell Valley for inspection.

To their shock, they discovered that the Blood Pool clan, who had been exiled there, were no longer there.

This is no small matter!

The Blood Pond Clan is a family with a bloodline limit. Although the Blood Dragon Eye is not good in direct combat, it is still difficult to defend against assassination due to its strange abilities.

After all, it was the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning who personally ordered his exile back then.

Now that this group of people has suddenly disappeared, what if they go into hiding and prepare to launch a crazy revenge against the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning or the Hidden Cloud Village? The consequences would be unimaginable!

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"

The Raikage roared, "Even if I have to turn the entire ninja world upside down, I'll find these red-eyed bastards!"

With the Raikage's command, the Hidden Cloud Village's massive intelligence machine sprang into action.

A large number of Cloud Village ninjas were dispatched to neighboring countries to conduct a thorough search.

As luck would have it, one of the Cloud Village teams, while investigating clues, ended up in the Land of Hot Springs.

"Boss, two more skewers of grilled squid, extra spicy, please."

Aoba swallowed the last bite of the dumpling and shouted at the shop owner.

"Okay! Just a moment, I'll be right there."

Aoba picked up her teacup and took a sip. Her gaze seemed to casually sweep over the crowd on the street, but behind her glasses, her eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

"This is such a hassle—"

Aoba sighed inwardly.

He originally thought that with his abilities, finding the evil cult would be a very easy task if he took action himself.

After all, he wasn't some clueless newbie.

With memories from his past life and the intelligence analysis capabilities assisted by the chip, once he arrives in the Land of Hot Springs, he can follow the clues and find his target in three to five days at most.

The result was that they found no trace of the evil god cult, but instead attracted the people of Kumogakure.

This is absolutely infuriating!

"Could we be too early?!"

Aoba recalled that Hidan joined the party a little later than Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi is still a young boy, and Hidan probably won't grow much older either.

We're too early; we don't know if this evil cult has even opened yet.

Even if it were to open, the evil god cult probably wouldn't be very big now; it would likely still be a small organization.

Or perhaps they are hidden away in some remote corner of the Land of Hot Water, slowly developing their followers.

If Minato hadn't specifically told him "not to get involved in other countries' disputes" before leaving the village, Aoba would have swatted these flies long ago.

Of course, the reason they haven't taken action is because the evil cult hasn't been found yet.

Killing a few Cloud Villagers is fine, but killing one or two might attract a whole bunch.

But if they go all out, their identities are likely to be exposed.

So Aoba chose to endure it.

He changed his clothes, suppressed his chakra fluctuations, and even deliberately changed his walking route in an attempt to shake off these tails.

But it didn't work.

The Cloud Village team has sensory ninjas.

That damned sensory ninja is like a leech; no matter how Aoba tries to conceal his presence, the other party can always pinpoint his approximate location within a certain range.

This greatly annoyed Aoba.

Because his chakra reserves are too high.

He never imagined that one day he would be troubled by his large amount of chakra.

For ninjas with a large amount of chakra, completely concealing their aura is an extremely difficult task.

It's like asking an elephant to hide in the grass and pretend to be a rabbit; no matter how much it tries to hide, there will always be a place it can't conceal itself.

"Sense-based ninjas are fucking annoying."

Sitting in the dumpling shop, Aoba chewed on grilled squid while cursing under his breath, "Looks like I need to find some time to coax Mr. Wu's [Dustless Mystery] out of him too."

He glanced at the rooftops across the street out of the corner of his eye, where a faint chakra fluctuation could be seen.

Again.

This is the third time we've been targeted today.

Aoba took a deep breath, swallowed the squid in his mouth, picked up a toothpick from the table and put it in his mouth, then shouted at the boss.

"Boss, check please."

After dropping a few coins, Aoba walked out of the dumpling shop with his hands in his pockets, seemingly taking his time. Then, he turned and walked directly into a dense forest outside the town.

Shortly after Aoba entered the forest.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several dark figures flashed across the rooftops of the street like ghosts, then rushed into the forest.

Six ninjas dressed in Kumogakure uniforms appeared next to a footprint.

The leader was a burly, dark-skinned Jonin from Kumogakure named Bamoi.

He glanced at the footprints on the ground, then quickly scanned his surroundings, searching for any traces.

"Captain, the target has disappeared!"

A Cloud Village Chunin looked around, his brows furrowed.

The forest was quiet; apart from the rustling of the leaves in the wind, there was no other sound.

Bamoi's face darkened as he turned to look at the sensory ninja in the group who had his eyes closed.

"Where is he? Can we still sense his chakra?"

The sensory ninja formed hand seals, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"It's very faint—the opponent's method of concealing chakra is very strong, but I can still detect a trace."

He suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to a dense grove of trees deep in the forest.

"Over there!"

Following the direction of the sensing ninja's finger, Bamoi and the other four Cloud Village ninjas turned their heads to look at the same time.

next second.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

In the depths of the dappled shadows, a pair of scarlet eyes were silently watching them.

The scarlet eyes seemed to radiate an eerie light, like a demon gazing at its prey from the abyss.

"That's... a blood dragon eye?"

Bamoi's heart clenched, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart instantly.

He was about to shout when he was horrified to find that his throat was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't make a sound at all!

Not only that, his body also completely lost control, as if he had been frozen in place, standing stiffly on the tree trunk.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Several muffled thuds followed.

To Bamoy's horror, he discovered that his five men had fallen straight to the ground without uttering a sound, their fates unknown.

"This—how is this possible?!"

A storm raged within Bamoy's heart.

When did the Blood Dragon Eye of the Blood Pool Clan become so terrifying?!

In just one exchange, he instantly annihilated an entire elite Cloud Village squad!

Just as Bamoi was gripped by extreme panic, the figure in the shadows moved.

With her hands in her pockets, Aoba walked slowly towards Bamoi as if taking a leisurely stroll.

He looked at the Cloud Village Jonin in front of him, who was covered in sweat and had a terrified look in his eyes, and sighed helplessly.

"I've already been trying so hard to control myself, why are you forcing me?"

Aoba shook his head, slowly extended a finger, and gently touched Bamoi's forehead.

"Buzz—"

Bamoi felt a violent roar in his mind, and the world before him was plunged into endless darkness.

As the Cloud Village captain collapsed limply, the crimson light in Aoba's eyes slowly faded.

He crouched down and placed his right hand on Bamoi's head.

"The art of mind reading."

A massive amount of mental energy instantly surged into Bamoi's brain through his palm, and he began to rapidly review the memories of this Cloud Village Jonin.

Ten minutes later.

Qingye slowly released her grip and stood up.

His expression turned extremely strange, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"What the hell is this?!"

Aoba felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through her mind, and she almost wanted to swear on the spot.

By reading Bamoi's memories, he finally understood why the Cloud Village ninjas were chasing him like mad dogs.

It turns out that the Blood Pool Clan, who had been exiled to Hell Valley, had all disappeared and were discovered by the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Fourth Raikage was furious and ordered a full-scale search for the Blood Pond Clan.

Unfortunately, when Aoba was investigating the Jashin Cult in the Land of Hot Water, he used the "Red Eye" eye technique, which was discovered by Kumogakure, who mistakenly believed that he was a member of the Blood Pond Clan.

So naturally, they kept chasing after him.

"The entire process was wrong, but the result was completely right!"

Aoba was also dumbfounded.

He was not a member of the Blood Pool Clan, but he did take the Blood Pool Clan with him.

He didn't use the Blood Dragon Eye, but it was indeed related to it.

After all, the "Red Eye" pupil technique was indeed developed based on the Blood Dragon Eye.

Those guys from Cloud Village really didn't pick the wrong people!

"Would you call this a lucky accident?"

Qingye looked up at the sky speechlessly. He was incredibly lucky to have encountered such a bizarre incident.

However, this mind-reading incident wasn't all bad.

Once a major power's intelligence machine is in operation, its efficiency is indeed astonishing.

From the memories of the Cloud Village Jonin, Aoba not only learned about the Cloud Village's movements, but also unexpectedly obtained the clues he had been searching for.

While conducting a thorough search of the Land of Hot Springs, the Hidden Cloud Village unexpectedly discovered that a remote area of ​​the Land of Hot Springs had recently seen a series of missing persons cases.

Moreover, most of those who went missing were young and strong civilians and wandering ninjas.

"Disappearance of people — some kind of bizarre ritual —"

Aoba stroked his chin, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

This modus operandi and style of operation are exactly what you'd expect from an evil cult!

This is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for without even looking for it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

"The intelligence network of a major power is indeed very useful."

Aoba couldn't help but sigh.

He wandered around the Land of Hot Water like a headless fly for a long time without finding any clues, but he found them by searching the minds of the Cloud Village ninjas.

The saying "Many hands make light work" applies to the ninja world as well.

Now that he had obtained the information he wanted, Aoba was too lazy to bother with these few Cloud Village ninjas anymore.

"You guys are lucky. I've been a vegetarian lately and don't want to make a big deal out of this."
