Escaping the Mist Ninja starts with backstabbing your teacher.

A few days later, Izumikawa drew the final lines on the puppet ninja dog, completing the overall structure and connection.

After continuously using his special ability [Optimization] to adjust it in various directions, Izumi Kawa finally succeeded.

"Phew, finally finished!"

"If I don't finish this soon, I'm going to explode!"

During this period, he kept creating various explosions in this mine. Fortunately, this is a mine, and people thought he was blasting the mountain to mine. Otherwise, it would have attracted people long ago.

However, in these remote mining villages, apart from the occasional visitor at fixed times, the villagers spend the rest of the time going out to trade.

Now this village is under their control, and no one dares to approach the territory of these ninja masters.

The series of explosions terrified the villagers, who were filled with fear at the power that could be generated, comparable to explosives.

They fear power but not morality; this is how it is in remote villages. Izumi River originally wanted to be more friendly, but unfortunately, the poor and remote places breed unruly people.

After seeing their white, skeletal huts that looked like ivory carvings, the villagers developed inappropriate thoughts.

This annoyed Izumi, so he ordered Yekura to roast several people on the spot. Immediately, the villagers became more obedient than turtles, and they all became incredibly compliant.

All I can say is that sometimes, some guys are just shameless. They think they can get away with anything just because you give them a little attention. They really don't know what's good for them.

"Go, Bruce!"

"Use Wind Claw on the mountain!"

The completed puppet dog was named Bruce by him, and some ninjutsu patterns were engraved on it.

Among them, the Wind Blade provided by Yekura, after optimization and learning, was applied to the puppet.

Simple commands allow the already constructed puppet dog to execute.

Bruce, who was as fierce as a tiger and four or five meters long, leaped over the head of the Izumi River and swung his claws fiercely at the mountain.

The illusory chakra form was covered with black patterns, and the skeleton inside was faintly visible, making it look like the two-tailed cat demon.

The wind blade lashed out from the claws, striking the rock wall and leaving three deep marks before returning to Izumi's side and lying down.

Gently stroking the puppet dog he had created, he thought that if the Byakugan could evolve further in the future and be driven by its eye power to act completely autonomously, it would be a considerable combat asset.

He's a man who's set his sights on the Tailed Beasts; these puppets can also bear the power of the Tailed Beasts and be further strengthened.

Although he doesn't have any powerful summoning beasts, he can easily create puppet beasts to use as summoning beasts.

Now, after a small trial, a preliminary framework has been achieved, and only a ninjutsu pattern has been engraved, which can be used.

It's not that he doesn't want to engrave more, but the technology isn't advanced enough. The more engravings there are, the more compatibility is needed, and the patterns need to be changed.

With his current knowledge of sealing techniques, he cannot achieve further optimization. He will take it slowly and add seals as needed once the available slots are filled.

After further testing its agility and combat capabilities, and replenishing its chakra, he took out a sealing scroll and sealed it inside.

As a puppet, it can supplement combat power or even help him with some things, such as guarding Momona, the logistics support ninja.

"I'm making some skeletal golems to use as minions. It'll be like playing as the Scourge, a bunch of necromancers."

Creating humanoid puppets is simple: just let the skeleton grow out and then do some processing.

It doesn't even need the talents of the Immortal Clan to create a chakra shell to cover it; it's just a pure skeletal puppet, driven by the hardness and power of the skeleton.

"Excavate the mountain, sell the ore, build the base. Let me calculate how many puppets I'll need."

As Izumi Kawa pondered and designed the base, he considered what kind of rooms it would need, its structure, and how the power and energy systems would operate.

Just as he was taking notes, a petrel flew in from the distance and landed directly on his shoulder.

This made him tilt his head slightly, look at the sea swallow on his shoulder, and raise his eyebrows slightly. Was it a message from Terumi Mei?

Haiyan opened his mouth, and a scroll emerged, growing larger as it was expelled, before landing in his hand.

"Huh, some kind of sealing technique... Mei Terumi actually found this method?"

Or perhaps...

Izumi looked at the scroll in his hand, pondered for a moment, took out some dried fish from his ninja tool bag, and rewarded the sea swallow on his shoulder, as a token of appreciation for its hard work.

Unrolling the scroll revealed the record of the deal that Mei Terumi had promised him, made during the peace talks between Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

Among them was information from Yekura: if the Sand Ninja offered this person's life, the Mist Ninja would agree to sign a peace treaty and accept the Sand Ninja's request.

After a brief tour, Izumikawa sneered. The Sand Village's higher-ups were truly disgusting, sacrificing Pakura's life to lower the various requirements of the Mist Village.

If you calculate it that way, Yekura's life is indeed valuable; if you used Asuma's heads as an example, you'd probably need a huge pile of them to make up for it.

Izumi closed the scroll, the skin on his palm split open, and a small skeletal bird detached itself, flying away into the distance under his control.

The reserved chakra will vibrate the bones in his throat when he sees Pakura, transmitting the sound he reserved.

"It's about time to let Yekura meet the people of Sunagakure."

"Half a month has passed now, and there's been no movement from Luo Sha's side. Is he unaware, or is he waiting?"

Izumikawa smiled lightly, not caring at all. Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, has a high content of "gold" sand, and as for his strength...

It took Orochimaru and Kimimaro to kill him, with Kimimaro contributing significantly; otherwise, even Orochimaru would have had to exert considerable effort.

It's unlikely that they'll come in person, since Sunagakure is already in a mess, and Iwagakure has already signed a peace treaty with Konoha.

With the Iwa ninja withdrawing their forces, the Cloud Ninja also reduced their strength on the Konoha front, and the Mist Ninja even withdrew, greatly easing the pressure on Konoha.

This greatly increased the pressure on the Sand Village. How come the fighting suddenly stopped, leaving them to fight Konoha alone?

They can't hold on any longer, they simply can't hold on any longer, so the Sand Ninja are basically on the verge of defeat.

This made Izumikawa realize that now was the perfect time for Yokura to make contact.

"I'm here!" Ye Cang followed the bone bird and came to his side.

Without wasting any words, Izumi handed the scroll to the other party and watched as he examined it.

As Ye Cang watched, the murderous aura between his brows grew stronger and stronger, and he even found it difficult to control his killing intent.

"Alright!"

"Don't destroy it!"

Izumi grabbed Yokura's hand, sensing her anger, and gently soothed her, preventing her from destroying the reel.
