Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

The young Iwagakure ninja recognized the family represented by the pattern and his face began to show fear.

The Santu family is good at earth escape perception, and most of the perception forces of the entire Yanyin come from the Santu family.

The Santu family, the Dodai family and the Onoki family are collectively known as the three major families of Iwagakure, and are like the cornerstone of Iwagakure.

Without these three families, the Iwagakure Village would not have been established.

A ninja who can serve as the instructor of the new generation of Genin in two of the three major families must have an extraordinary identity. Only... Thinking that all the powerful ninjas have gone to the front line of the battlefield, the young Iwagakure had a bad premonition in his heart.

His bad premonition soon became reality.

"It's confirmed. The teacher leading these three children is the Third Tsuchikage's youngest daughter, Miss Haitsuchi."

The four members of the Iwagakure team stood in front of the three corpses of Genin children. The captain in the lead announced the identities of the three Genin's teachers with a gloomy face.

"Is it really Miss Gray Earth?"

Although the young Iwagakure ninja had already expected it in his heart, he still didn't want to believe it when he heard it from the captain's mouth. That was Miss Haido, the favorite of the Third Tsuchikage!

Now…even though Miss Huitu’s body has not been found, it doesn’t mean that her situation is much better than if she were dead.

After all...Miss Huitu is a rare beauty.

The other two people also looked very unhappy.

The captain shook his head and said, "It can't be wrong. I have already explored the memory of the man who issued the mission and confirmed that it was Miss Huitu."

Hearing this, the young Iwagakure ninja lost all hope and said angrily, "Damn it, those bastards from Kumogakure must have taken advantage of the war between us and Konoha and other ninja villages to sneak attack and kidnap Miss Huitu."

Iwagakure and Kumogakure are indeed mortal enemies. When faced with the kidnapping of the Third Tsuchikage's daughter, the first thing they thought of was that Kumogakure was responsible.

The other two also nodded and said angrily: "Yes, it must be Kumogakure. Those guys actually invaded our Land of Earth and kidnapped Miss Huitu. This is a declaration of war on us."

"We have to fight back."

"Yes, we have to fight back."

The young Iwagakure and his two companions looked excited. They were sent to patrol the border and were responsible for defending against sneak attacks from the Kumogakure.

Now that Lord Tsuchikage's daughter, Miss Haitsuchi, has been kidnapped by the Hidden Cloud Village, they cannot escape the blame, so the three of them are very angry.

The Iwagakure captain was much calmer, frowning and saying, "Not necessarily Kumogakure?"

"Who could it be?" a team member said, "It can't be a ninja from Konoha."

"Not necessarily." Captain Iwagakure thought.

Through memory exploration, in addition to confirming Huitu's identity, he also obtained a vague memory from a shop owner who got up early.

It was a large bird flying high into the sky. Because the sky was not yet fully bright, the bird's color could not be seen clearly. Only a dark outline could be seen, like an eagle.

It seemed like there was someone standing on it, but it also seemed like there wasn't.

Captain Iwagakure was not sure, but judging from the distance, the eagle-like bird was very large and obviously not a naturally bred eagle. Instead, it looked like a summoned beast.

There are not many ninjas in the ninja world who use eagles as summoning beasts. Both Kumogakure and Konoha have had such ninjas.

Logically speaking, Yunyin should be the most likely candidate.

However, Captain Iwagakure thought about the recent information coming from the underground bounty agency and had some vague guesses in his mind.

Unfortunately, his memory detection technique was of the chakra-spirit type. The three child Genin had been dead for some time, and there was little chakra left in their bodies, and their spirits had dissipated, so he could not detect any memories.

We can only wait for the Anbu to come and take over, and then go back to explore the brains of the three children to find out who killed them.

The enemy didn't destroy their heads, it should not be Kumogakure or Konoha, it might be that Li Yao.

The Iwagakure captain had some guesses in his mind, and then said to the young Iwagakure ninja: "... You take the bodies of the three children away, and report what happened here to the Third Tsuchikage, and then go to the contact point and wait for the Anbu to come and receive the bodies."

"The remaining two of you follow me and track down the enemy."

Captain Iwagakure gave his orders quickly, left the young Iwagakure behind, and then chased in the direction the eagle flew with his other two teammates.

One morning later.

On the outskirts of the Sea of ​​Storms, Sarutobi Tenzhu and his wife flew out, gave up searching the Sea of ​​Storms, and prepared to return to the sea near the Land of Earth to find a small island to rest, and then return to the inland of the Frost Kingdom and other small countries to check on Li Yao's whereabouts.

Just as the time came to the evening of that day.

Sarutobi Ayase came out of the Storm Sea and saw Li Yao eight kilometers in the sky through the eyes of the ink bird.

"It's Li Yao! He shows up!"

The sudden surprise suddenly perked up the spirits of the Sarutobi Tenzhu couple, who were originally a little tired.

Sarutobi Tenshū, who was originally sitting cross-legged to rest, quickly stood up and said to his wife, "Fly to the side quickly and keep a distance of at least seven kilometers from him."

Li Yao's perception is not as far as the ink bird's vision, but he has a meticulous chakra perception ability.

If he didn't change direction quickly, once he flew to where the couple was now, he might sense the residual chakra naturally emanating from their bodies, just like last time.

"clear."

Sarutobi Ayase immediately turned the ink bird around and flew to the right, moving away from Li Yao's flight path while maintaining an observation distance of at least seven kilometers from Li Yao.

After a while, Li Yao sat on the back of the black iron giant eagle and flew over the position where the Sarutobi Tenju couple had just been... three thousand meters above.

Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Tenju, who was flying seven kilometers in front of Li Yao's left, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yao's flying altitude was much higher than theirs, so there was no need to worry that the remaining chakra at their location would be sensed by Li Yao.

Noticing that Li Yao was flying at four thousand meters, Sarutobi Ayase also adjusted the flying altitude from one thousand meters to four thousand meters, then slightly reduced the flying speed, landing seven kilometers to the left of Li Yao, and flew together with Li Yao.

Due to the limitation of perception distance, Li Yao did not realize that he was being targeted by Konoha's ninja again.

This time, one can only say that Li Yao had very bad luck, as his return route happened to cross the path of Sarutobi Tenju and his wife.

Chapter 101: Wood Release Exposed

"Eh... that... looks like the daughter of the Third Tsuchikage - Haitsuchi!"

After observing from a distance for a while, Sarutobi Ayase noticed that the naked woman lying motionless at Li Yao's feet looked familiar.

As an Anbu, she naturally knew something about the Third Tsuchikage's immediate family members, or at least had seen their corresponding photos.

As the youngest and most beloved daughter of the Third Tsuchikage, Haitachi's status in the Iwagakure Village is comparable to that of Princess Tsunade.

At the same time, she is a hot and beautiful woman, very memorable. Sarutobi Ayase has a very clear memory of her appearance.

"Are you sure?" asked Sarutobi Tenshu.

"Sure." Sarutobi Ayase nodded.

She was seen making seals with her hands to strengthen the visual connection between her closed left eye and the eyes of the ink-and-wash bird.

The naked woman at Li Yao's feet looked exactly like the photo of Hui Tu that she had seen. It was certain that it was Hui Tu.

"I see."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Tenju suddenly realized, "That guy went to the Land of Earth before. No wonder we couldn't find his whereabouts on the small island in this sea area."

"But..." Sarutobi Tenju asked in confusion, "How did that guy capture the Third Tsuchikage's daughter, Haitō?"

Li Yao didn't know that once Hui Tu was captured, the Third Tsuchikage would definitely go crazy and would definitely send a powerful ninja team to find him.

Knowing Li Yao's cautious character, he would not do anything that would cause trouble for himself.

Strange... Sarutobi Tenju couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe... he doesn't know Huidi." Sarutobi Ayase guessed.

"Impossible?" Sarutobi Tenju was a little uncertain.

Li Yao's identity before he took over Kimura Yao's body was very mysterious. The third generation had been collecting strong people in the ninja world who used the spirit transformation technique a long time ago, but there had been no clues.

But both the third generation and Sarutobi Tenju, who heard about Li Yao from the third generation, believed that Li Yao must have lived for a long time.

Living long means knowing... a lot of information, but... not necessarily everything.

Haitō's status is indeed very high and she is very important to the Third Tsuchikage, but please report that her strength is only at the level of an ordinary jonin.

Besides, Li Yao had been staying in Konoha for the previous six years, so it was understandable that he didn't know Hui Tu's identity.

At this time, Sarutobi Tenshu was already inclined to believe that Li Yao did not know Huitu's identity, and capturing Huitu was not a deal with Iwagakure.

Then Li Yao caught Huitu... Thinking that Huitu was a great beauty, Sarutobi Tenshu glanced at his wife, thought about it and didn't say his guess.

He thought Li Yao was thinking about women.

Otherwise there is no need to carry around a big hassle.

……

"Hmm... Is he going to enter the Sea of ​​Storms?"

late at night.

The bright moon hangs high.

The Sarutobi Tenju couple, who had been following Li Yao all the way, were surprised to see that Li Yao's flight trajectory had not changed and was flying straight into the Sea of ​​Storms.

Previously they had guessed that Li Yao had been in the Land of Earth, but now it seems that is not the case.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Li Yao flew straight to the Sea of ​​Storms with a clear goal after leaving the Land of Earth.

"Could it be that he was actually in the Sea of ​​Storms before?" Sarutobi Ayase frowned and thought.

"It should be." Sarutobi Tenshu nodded.

"Then should we continue to follow?" Sarutobi Ayase said worriedly, "We don't have many ration pills left. If we go deep into the Storm Sea and get lost, we..."

"Do not worry."

Sarutobi Tenju laughed and said, "Even if we don't have much ration pills left, we definitely have more than Li Yao. He is not afraid. We can definitely outlast him, and..."

Sarutobi Tenju's eyes flashed, and he said confidently: "There should be an island in the Storm Sea, otherwise Li Yao would not have entered the Storm Sea with such a clear goal."

Find the island where Li Yao stayed, determine the location of the island in the Sea of ​​Storms through the map, and then through the location of the island in the Sea of ​​Storms, they can clearly know the direction and don't have to worry about getting lost in the Sea of ​​Storms.

Then they can withdraw.

Judging from the fact that Li Yao headed straight for the Sea of ​​Storms after capturing the daughter of the Third Tsuchikage, Li Yao should be planning to live in seclusion in the Sea of ​​Storms for a while.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about Li Yao disappearing if you leave temporarily.

Instead, during this period of time, they leaked the information about Li Yao's location, allowing the Kumogakure and Iwagakure who knew the information to launch a surprise attack. They watched from the sidelines to see if there was any chance to seal Li Yao.

"I understand." Sarutobi Ayase and her husband had a tacit understanding. As soon as her husband said something, she knew how to respond next.

The ink bird flew parallel to Li Yao for seven kilometers all the way to the depths of the storm sea.

at this time.

Viper Island.

Five thousand meters in the sky, a huge gray-brown eagle was hovering with its wings flapping, and its sharp big eyes were observing the surroundings as its head shook.

On the back of the huge eagle, a middle-aged Kumogakure ninja with thick white hair made seals with his hands, and his eagle eyes also observed the surroundings as his head shook.

This person was none other than the Third Raikage and his entourage who came to capture Li Yao.

The ninjas of the Daruma family are responsible for aerial surveillance.

The Third Raikage and three other guarding jonin were in charge of the lower part.

At this time, in the shallow sea of ​​the Viper Island below, a Cloud Hidden Man was lurking in the sea using the water escape technique to become invisible.

Around the wooden house on the top of the mountain, the Third Raikage and two other elite jonin were hiding in the rocks using earth-style ninjutsu.

The four of them were ready to attack Li Yao as soon as he returned.

They found the Viper Island last night, but Li Yao was not on the island.

However, from the wooden house on the island and the bed and chairs inside, they guessed that Li Yao should have regarded this place as his permanent residence.

He is not here now. He must be out buying daily necessities. He will be back sooner or later.

At the same time, the Third Raikage also made a surprising guess from observing the wood of the cabin.

Li Yao not only knows powerful sealing techniques, but also wood escape techniques.

The island was small and rocky inside, so it was impossible for trees big enough to build a wooden house to grow there.

It was impossible for Li Yao to transport wood from other places to build a wooden house here.

So there is only one answer.
