Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 124 Disguise

Once you leave the forest, your chances of survival will greatly increase.

Thinking about the other party's silent methods, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The enemy's concealment skills are also very advanced, but once they leave the forest and come to an open area, it will be much easier for them to hide. An opponent with traceable clues will not be so scary.

At this moment, the grass ninja no longer cared about concealing his tracks and ran forward with all his might.

However, he soon met up with Sarutobi Asuma and his two companions, who had already heard the commotion.

When the grass ninja arrived, they saw Sarutobi Asuma and his two companions.

His face was contorted with rage, realizing that his chance of survival lay in the hands of these three.

Only if he can control these three brats will he still have a chance to negotiate with that elusive guy.

"Illusion Technique: The Falling Cherry Blossom Technique!"

Upon seeing that the person who appeared was not Chiga, Kurenai Yuhi activated the illusion she had prepared beforehand, pulling Ichiro into the illusion. Her purpose was not to kill the enemy, but to trap him.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

At that moment, Sarutobi Asuma finished his hand seals, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a large fireball.

Ichiro, trapped in the illusion, froze for a second. It was this one-second delay that allowed him to be attacked by the Fire Release technique.

"Ninpo Senbon!"

At the same time, countless tiny steel needles plunged into the flames.

The flames subsided, leaving only a charred corpse with dozens of senbon needles stuck in it.

Sarutobi Asuma and his two companions remained vigilant, took out their kunai, and formed a swastika formation back to back.

"It's Kusanagi Shinobu. Where's Chiga?"

"Was he killed?"

"No way, Chiga was already a Chunin a year ago, he couldn't have died so easily."

The three were surprised by the sudden appearance of the Grass Ninja, but when they didn't see Chiga, they began to panic.

Chiga, seeing that the three had dealt with the grass ninja, also emerged from the forest.

"You did a great job!"

Chiga, carrying Sabu, looked at the charred corpse and said, "It's a bit of a waste, but one should be more decisive when facing an enemy."

"Did you deliberately let him in?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma immediately spoke.

Chiga nodded. "You can be considered excellent graduates for being able to kill a Chunin without my help."

"Hmph, of course!"

Sarutobi Asuma smiled smugly upon hearing Chiga's praise.

Then, realizing that the enemy couldn't possibly have only one ninja, and considering the Grass Ninja in Chiga's hand, he immediately asked, "Where are their other teammates?"

"Dead!"

Chiga replied casually.

Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback; only about a minute had passed since they heard the commotion.

In that one minute, Chiga had already dealt with the three opponents, and if he hadn't deliberately let this ninja come over...

That means a team of Grass Ninjas was taken down in just one minute.

Is this Chiga's true strength?

Sarutobi Asuma was somewhat discouraged. He had thought he had narrowed the gap with Chika, but unexpectedly, the gap was widening.

"Alright, I'm going to interrogate this grass ninja now. You all take a break and calm down!"

Considering that this was the first time the three had committed murder, Chiga gave them some space to process their own emotions, since he was not going to act as their psychologist.

"Name?"

"Saubu!"

"age?"

"35 years old!"

Chiga asked very detailed questions, not only about these, but also about ninja numbers and the names of people she knew.

He also inquired about Misa Uzumaki's situation, and to his surprise, she was indeed with Kusanagi.

It seems we can also bring back a member of the Vortex clan on this mission.

After asking Sabu about his own information, Chiga then asked about Sabu's three teammates.

After obtaining all the information, Chiga finally killed Sabu with a single stroke.

Then they sealed Sabu's body into a scroll. Chunin and Genin-level Grass Ninjas are not worth much, but Jonin are much more valuable.

He can make a profit by taking this body back.

By the time he returned, Sarutobi Asuma and the others had almost finished preparing themselves mentally.

After all, this is not the peaceful era of Naruto; the ninjas of this era are much more resilient.

Chiga said to Sarutobi Asuma and the other two, "It was a complete accident that they encountered us."

"Furthermore, I have a plan to infiltrate, which involves disguising myself as these four Grass Ninja. You three should have no problem with your Transformation Jutsu, right?"

Sarutobi Asuma and the other two exchanged glances. Kurenai Yuhi spoke first, saying, "The transformation technique itself isn't a big problem, but when we pass through the entrance of Kusagakure, we'll be checked by sensory ninjas."

"Who said we went through the main gate?" Chiga explained, "Breaking through barriers is one of my strengths."

"We disguised ourselves as Kusagakure ninja and entered the village through a loophole in its barrier. They can't possibly use sensory techniques to detect us all the time."

"Once inside, we'll find where the supplies are stored, attach explosive tags, and run."

"And even if we are discovered, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't stray too far from me, we can still leave Kusagakure safely."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma and the other two acquiesced.

"Flying Thunder God Technique, that feels so outrageous!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma finally understood his father's good intentions.

Whether or not we can complete the mission is not the point, but the chances of survival are really high.

In fact, ninjas have many and varied methods of infiltration. If one is not careful, a ninja could infiltrate a village.

The difficulty lies in how to remain hidden for a long time and how to escape if discovered.

Most of those found were either beaten to death or arrested and tortured.

However, the Flying Thunder God Technique truly makes escaping a breeze; if someone wants to run away, there's really no stopping them.

But if we talk about this, we'll have to mention how that second-generation rich kid died.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga smiled.

"Forget it, I don't have that talent!"

Sarutobi Asuma had secretly read the ninjutsu in the Scroll of Seals long ago, but he couldn't understand a single one of the complex techniques in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

A day later, Chiga and his companions walked through the Land of Grass and soon arrived at the outskirts of the Grass Village.

In a corner, Chiga probed the barrier with her hand.

"How is it? Can we go in?" Sarutobi Asuma asked.

Chiga opened her eyes and said disdainfully, "Tsk tsk, I've long heard that the ninjas of the Land of Grass like to imitate, but I didn't expect that this barrier would be a copy of something that Kushina-sensei researched five years ago. Even if they imitate, don't they know how to keep up with the times?"

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes lit up.

Give me a minute!

Chika chuckled softly, his hands moving swiftly to form hand seals. Then, he pointed his middle and index fingers together towards the barrier and uttered a soft command: "Release!"

Before long, with Chiga's help, a circular opening appeared in the barrier, just big enough for the four of them to pass through.
