Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 123 Killing the Enemy

"Captain Sabu, would you like to take a break?"

The grass ninja Ichiro in the middle of the group asked the grass ninja in the lead.

Before Zuowu could answer, a low caw of a crow startled all four of them.

The four then looked over warily and breathed a sigh of relief when they realized it was a crow.

"Damn crows, they're terrifying!"

Upon seeing that it was a crow, Kusanagi Shinobu's expression relaxed, and he threw out a kunai, ready to kill the crow.

Fortunately, thanks to Chiga's vigorous feeding, these crows became much more agile and easily dodged the attack.

"snort!"

The grass ninja, having missed his attack with his kunai, tried to throw out another shuriken.

At this moment, Sabu spoke up.

"Alright, let's not do anything pointless. We're still in the Land of Fire. If we encounter Konoha ninjas, we won't be a match for them."

"Yes, Captain!"

As night deepened and the campfire had long since died down, Chiga was still pondering how to infiltrate the Land of Grass when he suddenly heard the low cawing of crows in the distance.

The barrier also sent a message that the four of them had entered his domain.

That's strange. We've already encountered enemies while still within the Land of Fire?

Chiga glanced at the two tents and, seeing that the three were still fast asleep, made no move to wake them.

In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot.

When she reappeared, Chiga was already beside a certain crow.

He gently soothed the crow with his hand, then opened his Sharingan. In the pitch-black night, the four figures had nowhere to hide under the Sharingan's power.

Grass Ninja?!

Based on his initial observation, the opponent was a four-person Grass Ninja team, consisting of one Jonin, two Chunin, and one Genin, in terms of chakra levels.

Chiga was a little surprised. Their location was in the Land of Fire. What was the meaning of this grass ninja squad sneaking in here?

But he didn't think much of it. The ninja world was a tiny place, and it was normal to need to cross borders to complete a mission.

This group of Grass Ninja probably accepted the same mission, but they needed to pass through the Land of Fire quickly, so they had to travel overnight.

If they were the Grass Ninja of the Flower of Grass, they could leisurely wander around the Land of Fire, since they were supported by Konoha.

However, ninjas who possess the fruit of grass will be beaten to a pulp by Konoha ninjas if they are discovered.

Chiga recognized the group of grass ninja as Sabu, the leader of which was a Jonin named Kusanagi.

Upon seeing that they were ninjas from the Land of Grass, and even ninjas from the Land of Grass, Chiga's eyes lit up. It was truly a case of someone offering a pillow when you're sleepy.

He was just thinking about how to infiltrate the Grass Village when he unexpectedly encountered a group of Grass Ninja returning to the village after completing a mission.

Although there is a high chance that Chiga will be discovered if she uses the transformation technique to infiltrate the Grass Village, she doesn't need to hide for long.

Once he enters the Grass Ninja Village and finds the supply storage area, he can throw an explosive tag and then run away with his team.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, there's absolutely no need to fear being surrounded and intercepted.

"You're just unlucky!"

Chiga silently watched the group of grass ninja.

In the stillness of the night, Chiga was as gentle as a cat, making not a sound.

His movements were light, but his walking speed was not slow. Since he did not know whether the other party was a sensory ninja, Chiga did not dare to use a single bit of chakra.

Before long, he arrived behind the Grass Ninja without their knowledge.

According to his observation, the four grass ninjas were not clustered together and were some distance apart, but their positions allowed them to quickly support each other if they were attacked.

Just by looking at their formation, Chiga felt that this team, while not necessarily very strong, was certainly a well-coordinated team.

Silently, Chiga took out a kunai, which she rarely used. In this assassination environment, a kunai was more convenient to use.

The four grass ninjas leaped from branch to branch and soon landed on a crow that was perched on it.

After the three grass ninjas jumped off the branch, Chiga used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get to the crow's side.

A kunai flashed with a cold light in the night, slicing open the throat of the last grass ninja.

The first one!

Amidst the terrified and desperate expression on the grass ninja's face, Chiga slowly placed the grass ninja's body on a tree branch, and then followed closely behind the three grass ninja.

At that moment, the three grass ninja in front were completely unaware that their teammates behind them had already died.

The crows around let out a low caw, as if they were mocking something.

Soon, Chiga arrived behind another grass ninja.

The grass ninja was alert and tried to turn around to observe as soon as he heard footsteps approaching. However, at that moment, Chiga made his move.

He suddenly covered the grass ninja's mouth and plunged the kunai into the grass ninja's heart.

the second!

It wasn't until Chiga killed the two that the remaining Grass Ninjas realized something was wrong; the Grass Ninjas in front noticed that there were no more footsteps behind them.

Sabu and the ninja named Ichiro were startled and stopped in their tracks, turning to look behind them.

Upon seeing this, their eyes widened in surprise.

One of the two grass ninjas who were originally behind them had fallen to the ground, while the other had a kunai piercing through his chest, but there was no trace of the enemy.

"team leader."

The grass ninja with a kunai stuck in his chest wasn't completely dead yet. He pointed in Sabu's direction, as if he wanted to say something.

But the passing of life prevented him from speaking again.

"Gah!"

"Gah!"

The crows seemed to be startled and took flight in droves.

Then Chiga appeared among the crows, her scarlet eyes fixed on Sabu.

Before Sabu could resist, he was trapped in an illusion, and Sabu Chika used the Flying Thunder God Technique to hide in the trees.

"Captain Sabu, enemy attack!"

Ichiro drew his katana and roared in Sabu's direction. When he turned to look at Sabu again, he found that Sabu was no longer there.

In the cold of the night, Ichiro felt a burning sensation all over his body, and before he knew it, his back was soaked with sweat.

He didn't know how many enemies there were, or where they were, and more importantly, all his teammates had already been killed.

Even the Jonin Sabu, who was the captain, was nowhere to be seen; only the cawing of crows could be heard throughout the forest.

He glanced around in fear, but finally couldn't stand the eerie atmosphere and ran away.

In the darkness, a pair of red lights suddenly shone, coldly watching the fleeing grass ninja, and then disappeared as if they had never existed.

"Consider it a practice run for the three of them!"

Chiga originally wanted to take matters into her own hands, but then she thought that since she had already teamed up with Sarutobi Asuma and the other two, she should give them some practical experience.

So they let Kusanagi Kazuma go.

The grass ninja ran for a while and finally found that the area ahead had opened up. His spirits lifted and his face lit up with joy.
