Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

It seemed that a big shot had come to the scene to take command, so after being suddenly hit and briefly in panic, these ninjas began to perform their duties under the command.

The big man squatted beside the corpses placed together. After a brief inspection, he found that the way these ninjas died was almost exactly the same.

"All four of them were killed by a sneak attack from behind. They suffered a fatal blow in an instant..."

"Three people had their kidneys stabbed and one had his throat slit."

"But he still went on to do unnecessary finishing blows, as if he was afraid he couldn't kill them... Newbie? OCD?"

"Regardless of the enemy's identity, origin, and strength, one thing is certain: he is extremely skilled at hiding and launching surprise attacks."

"Death came so suddenly that our men likely never even saw the enemy's face... They were defeated one by one, and most likely died without making any sound."

"Furthermore, the enemy was able to sneak into the underground warehouse silently, set a trap, and then deliberately triggered the barrier, using this to eliminate several of our ninjas."

"If not, it would be difficult for us to detect someone invading the village in time."

"Report what happened here to the clan leader."

"Yes, Elder." A ninja hurried away.

"Everyone, intensify the search. The most urgent task is to find any trace of the enemy and confirm whether he is still lurking in the village."

"Understood, Elder!"

After the elder issued the order, the ninja behind him hurried to the other side and reported the bad news again:

"Elder, Captain Daisuke is dead."

Hearing this, the middle-aged ninja who was trying to get more information from the corpse suddenly stood up:

"Who? Daisuke? Is Tsukawa Daisuke dead?"

He seemed a little bit unbelievable that a combat captain died so silently.

"Yes, Elder, unfortunately...it is indeed Daisuke Tsukawa."

"Died from a sneak attack from behind?" The elder asked subconsciously, with a slight tremor in his voice.

The ninja nodded and said, "He had just left home and seemed to be planning to rush here, but was attacked on the way."

"Take me to the scene... You guys protect their bodies."

The ninja who brought the bad news was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected the elder to make such a decision. Under the other party's gaze, he finally reacted:

"Elder, please follow me."

Led by this ninja, the two hurried to another scene of the incident.

Soon, they found a body lying at the corner of an alley. His legs were spread out, his upper body was leaning against a wall, and a large amount of blood flowing from his back was smeared on the white wall.

This "Daisuke Tsukawa" was a ninja that the elder was very optimistic about. In his opinion, he might be able to shoulder the fate of the clan in the future. However, who could have thought that he would die so miserably?

He didn't even offer any resistance before his death, just like those ninjas in the warehouse.

Under the trauma of losing a talented person and seeing his son die young, the elder seemed to be in great pain. He took a few quick steps to the deceased, squatted down and looked at the waist of the corpse.

"The kidney again? If the enemy is good at sneak attacks, why is he so obsessed with that location? Wouldn't it be simpler and more efficient to pierce the heart directly?"

In his opinion, stabbing the heart is definitely more decisive than hitting the kidneys. Why are the enemies so obsessed with the defensive midfielder?

The ninja behind him thought for a moment, then tried to explain cautiously:

"Is it to reduce the struggle? As someone who's neither a doctor nor a killer, I've probably only heard that attacking the kidneys is more effective than attacking the heart in reducing the victim's movements. After all, not everyone understands the anatomy of the human body..."

"This……"

The elder's expression was thoughtful. He looked at the deceased's face, which was filled with pain and confusion, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Wait, the way this ninja behind me speaks seems a little strange. There are about a hundred ninjas in the Jinchuan clan. The elder may not be familiar with every ninja, but he can sense some incongruity.

Moreover, looking at the bloodstains on the ground, it seems that they did not come from one person, and the amount of bleeding was a bit too much.

"you……"

However, just as he was brainstorming frantically, the elder felt a chill on his back with a slight "puff" sound, and then no matter how he opened and closed his lips, he could no longer make any sound.

He subconsciously looked down at his waist, where a large amount of blood was gushing out...

Am I being backstabbed too?

Well, now he can be sure that what the other party called "hearsay" is most likely correct.

Then, a hand rested on the elder's shoulder, and he felt his vitality and chakra rapidly leaving his body.

So he turned his head with difficulty and saw that the face that originally belonged to his own people had quickly become a completely unfamiliar one.

For Yu Zhen, the so-called broken butt is a flaw, and he is too good at stealing butts.

As his consciousness was being rapidly pulled away, something even more surprising happened to the elder. The intruder's figure quickly rose taller, and his face became familiar again... The elder's brain was a little short of oxygen. He thought hard and realized that it was actually his own appearance.

"What kind of transformation technique is this..."

The thought that flashed through his mind was the elder's last doubt in his life, and it was destined to remain unanswered.

Yu Zhen had noticed long ago that these ninjas were dressed in uniform, so he didn't need to do much. After killing the elder by surprise, he transformed into his appearance and then took the body to a courtyard not far away as quickly as possible.

After entering a room, he quickly dug a hole and buried the elder's body.

This yard belongs to the captain named "Daisuke", and this captain is a bachelor. After his death, there is no need to worry about the elder's body being discovered in the short term.

After all, the village is in chaos.

The person that Yu Zhen first transformed into was a ninja who followed "Captain Daisuke". It was from the other party that he learned that this person was a captain. So after ambushing two people and abandoning one body and hiding the other, he returned to the first crime scene again.

Then he learned the identity of the elder from the surrounding ninjas.

However, he did not expect that the other party would follow Yuzhen to see the body of Captain "Daisuke".

Captain Daisuke is such a good person. He has helped Yuzhen a lot.

It seems that he does not need Uchiha Nanami's summoning beast in this operation. It is very magical. Although it is his first time, Yu Zhen feels that he is very good at this kind of trouble-making work.

Next, he prepared to start playing the role of the elder whose name was not yet determined.

Chapter 47 Meeting

Gradually, Yuzhen has become somewhat confident in his "acting skills".

In such a chaotic situation, Yu Zhen can be considered to have the highest acting skills by just keeping a serious face, and at most revealing a look of compassion from time to time - at the moment of life and death, how can you smile without a blank expression?

As the "elder", Yuzhen returned to the body of "Daisuke" and continued the autopsy work diligently.

Not long after, two more ninjas found him.

"Elder, the clan leader is urgently summoning the clan leaders."

Yu Zhen trembled and pretended to stand up with some difficulty.

Just now, he saw the elder's attitude towards the deceased, which seemed to be very sincere, and he roughly understood that the relationship between the two parties was not ordinary.

The two ninjas saw this and didn't think it was strange. One of them even quickly helped Yu Zhen up.

"What happened again?"

"Two mission teams that were supposed to return to the village that evening have yet to return and haven't sent any news. The clan leader suspects they were also killed."

"In other words, there is more than one enemy, and they are attacking us from both inside and outside?" Yu Zhen asked back.

"Yes, elder."

Yu Zhen nodded. It seemed that Uchiha Nanami and Fuma Goro had taken action.

Taking it internally and applying it externally, treating both the inside and the outside, it shows how blessed the Jinchuan clan is.

"Elder?"

"I understand. I'll go see the patriarch right away."

Yuzhen turned and started to leave, but he stopped after taking two steps and said, "Take Daisuke's body with you and go to the clan leader with me."

The two ninjas looked at each other and nodded at the same time:

"Yes, elder."

Yu Zhen is still acting, but he needs two people to lead the way.

Although he knew the distribution of buildings in the village from the intelligence he collected, he had no idea of ​​the internal structure of a building without actually entering it. The intelligence alone was not enough to support his familiar attitude of "strolling in the garden".

So he needs a guide.

And it is normal to bring this corpse with him. On the one hand, the elders value this captain very much. On the other hand, the combat captain is already an important senior figure ranked in the top ten of the clan. Now that such a person is dead, of course his corpse should be displayed. Otherwise, how can we show that this person is important?

Faced with Yu Zhen's request, the two ninjas could only play the role of inviting a wolf into the house and took him to the core power center here...the village committee.

Yu Zhen's tactics of sneaking in quietly and attacking from the center achieved the expected combat effect.

Faced with an enemy that was like a ghost and whose whereabouts were elusive, the middle and lower-level ninjas of the Tsukawa clan began to panic.

It is impossible for the top leaders to turn a blind eye to this kind of infiltration and assassination that shakes the foundation of the clan. In fact, they are very aware of the harm brought by such an enemy. Therefore, except for a combat team leader who is out on a mission, all the top leaders of the clan gathered together.

The meeting must be held, otherwise it will not work.

"Not to mention the loss of war supplies, a large amount of daily necessities and production materials that are crucial to the survival of our clan have been burned. How long can we hold on now?"

"We have been attacked before since the village was founded, but I cannot accept the reality that the enemy has caused us such heavy losses without paying any price."

"The price? We haven't found any trace of the intruders. How many enemies are there? What are their origins? Why did they attack us? We know nothing."

"The supplies and logistics were destroyed. If the intruders are still hiding in the village, what should we do?"

"Anyone who can use this kind of silent and stealthy killing technique is definitely not an unknown person. Based on the current information, can't we guess his or their origins?"

Almost all the senior members of the Jinchuan clan who were in a meeting were a little furious, but it was easy for anyone to see the panic hidden under their anxiety.

The head of the Tsukawa clan was Taishi Tsukawa, a ninja in his late thirties. He interrupted the discussion with a light cough and said:

"Xiu Ping, have you found anything at the crime scenes?"

Yu Zhen didn't realize at first that the other party was calling "himself". He knew that the Jinchuan clan had an elder named "Jinchuan Shuhei" who served as the clan leader's think tank, but he was not sure whether "Shuhei" was the one he was playing.

"Shuhei?"

Seeing that no one responded, Yu Zhen confirmed that the other party was calling him.

"Yes, patriarch."

He agreed, and then there was another period of silence, as if he was forming his words.

The clan leader couldn't help but frown. Elder Xiuping wasn't one to be so slow in his response. Fortunately, someone whispered to him about the assassination attempt on the captain's life, and the clan leader understood why Elder Xiuping was so slow to react.

"The enemy left no traces, but it's certain that he or they are extremely skilled in assassination techniques. They may be using very special methods to hide and move... If I'm not mistaken, it's very likely earth-style ninjutsu."

Yu Zhen began to analyze himself. Without asking, what he said seemed to be true but not true.

"The enemy's assassination skills are extraordinary. All our ninjas died silently from backstabs. It's conceivable that he is most likely still hiding in the village, but finding him will be no easy task."

"What's important now is how we respond... I suggest that at any time, for any action, we must gather at least three people, and everyone must be vigilant of each other's backs."

"Complete all external missions and gather all ninjas according to their team affiliations."

"The reconnaissance and perception ninjas should be deployed in a dispersed manner, and their perception ranges must intersect with each other. Other ninjas should be deployed as far as possible within their perception ranges."

"It's difficult for us to find the intruder, but if he's still in the village, it means he hasn't achieved his goal."

"We just need to wait and see. When he strikes again, we need to seize the opportunity and get rid of him!"

Despite his serious attitude, Yu Zhen felt increasingly strange. I planned a strategy to arrest myself? Although the plan sounded plausible, how could I possibly catch him?

Are the referee, the referee, and the witnesses all my people? No, they are all me.

"What should the ordinary members of the tribe do?" The patriarch thought for a moment and then asked the key question.

No one can guarantee that the intruders' targets are only ninjas and not civilians.

Yu Zhen remained silent, meaning, you understand what I mean, how can you not understand?

How to strike the right balance is the clan leader's right, and "Elder Xiuping" is just making suggestions.

After a long silence, the clan leader finally said, "Let's make arrangements and follow Elder Shuhei's plan. Let the clan's ninjas move quickly."

Ninjas are ready-made combat forces and the foundation of a clan. At times like this, the clan leader must make some choices.

Yu Zhen looked at the other elder, who had not spoken a word. Compared to Yu Zhen who acted as a think tank, the other elder should be a thug.

The number of enemies infiltrating the village was limited, but if they were in the dark and we were in the light, what good would it do to have enough fighting power? If we didn't take passive defensive measures, someone might be killed at any moment.
