Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

This wooden house was built using Wood Release.

Of course, the main reason was that the Third Raikage felt a familiar breath from the wooden house, the breath of vitality brought by Wood Release.

He was a person who had witnessed the First Hokage Hashirama's journey through the Ninja World, and had also witnessed the Battle of the Valley of the End from afar.

He had a deep memory of the power of Wood Release and the scent of trees it created.

Now seeing the wooden house built by Li Yao, others may not think of Wood Release, but the Third Raikage immediately thought of the Wood Release of the First Hokage, Hashirama.

As the ninja village in the ninja world that is most enthusiastic about researching and copying various bloodline limits, the Third Raikage dreamed of learning Wood Release.

He also believed that Konoha was eager to recreate the Wood Release technique used by the first Hokage, Hashirama, to pacify the troubled times.

Now seeing Li Yao's wooden house, the Third Raikage was very sure that Konoha must have conducted an experiment to reproduce the Wood Release plan.

And Li Yao is the lucky one who successfully inherited the first generation of Wood Release.

But it is obvious that Li Yao's Wood Release is not strong enough.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chased all the way by Konoha.

But just because you are not strong enough now doesn’t mean you won’t be strong enough in the future.

"We must catch Li Yao before he grows up."

"otherwise……"

The Third Raikage was now both excited and slightly uneasy.

The information that Li Yao knew Wood Release certainly surprised him, because once they caught Li Yao, it would mean that their Cloud Village would also have a great chance of copying the Wood Release of the first Hokage, Hashirama.

But at the same time, Li Yao's ability to use Wood Release also means that Konoha's experiment to reproduce Wood Release was successful.

No one knows how many "Li Yao" there will be in Konoha in the future.

As long as he thought about the future war against Konoha, where a group of Wood Release ninjas would use Wood Release to tie up the tailed beasts on their side, while Konoha's Nine-Tails could launch the Tailed Beast Balls with impunity, the Third Raikage felt his scalp tingling.

He must never let that kind of scene happen.

So... Li Yao must catch it as soon as possible and research the Wood Release that belongs to Kumogakure, so that Kumogakure can dominate the ninja world.

Chapter 102 U-Turn

The next morning, the sun had just risen from the sea level, and the sunlight dyed the sea surface red.

High in the sky, Damocles and his giant eagle, who had persisted for a day and two nights, were still energetic and monitoring all directions.

Suddenly, the giant eagle, which had been turning its head to monitor the surroundings, stopped staring at the west and let out a faint cry.

Damocles, standing on the back of the giant eagle, immediately formed seals with his hands, and his eyes instantly changed into a pair of eagle eyes and turned to look.

Twelve kilometers away, a twelve-year-old child was seen standing on the back of a giant black eagle, flying towards here.

"It's Li Yao, he's back."

The voice of Damocles was heard through the headphones. The Third Raikage, who was hiding in the rocks beside the wooden house, remained motionless, but he was secretly alert in his heart.

The other three people who were lurking were also reminded by Damocles, who was standing on the back of a giant eagle in the air and monitoring the surroundings.

The giant eagle bred by the Dharma family can be contracted to become a spiritual beast. Not only does it have good combat power, but its eyesight, which is mainly used for reconnaissance, is also terrifying.

You can see a person's appearance and figure clearly from twelve kilometers away.

It is precisely because of this terrifying visual detection that the Daruma family was able to gain a foothold in Kumogakure. They are responsible for patrolling and detecting the borders of the Land of Lightning and protecting the Kumogakure Village.

At this time, Li Yao had no idea that he had been discovered and that his lair had been ambushed by someone, waiting for him to be caught.

Also unaware that they had been discovered were the Sarutobi Tenju and his wife.

After Li Yao was discovered, the couple were also quickly discovered by Damocles. However, the large ink bird under their feet kept looking in the direction of Li Yao, causing a partial loss of vision in front of them, so they did not see Damocles and his eagle.

"Sure enough, Konoha has been deliberately releasing information about Li Yao!"

When the Third Raikage on the island heard that Li Yao was always followed by Konoha's Anbu, he immediately resolved a doubt in his heart.

So how did the underground bounty agency get the real information about Li Yaoshi?

It is impossible for Li Yao, who can fly, to be easily found out.

Now that we see the Konoha Anbu ninja controlling the ink bird following Li Yao, this can be explained.

All along, Li Yao's information came from Konoha.

but……

"why?"

A doubt flashed through the mind of the Third Raikage. He didn't understand why Konoha would leak out the information about the precious experimental subject that had successfully awakened Wood Release, and also use the technique of immortality to attract people to deal with Li Yao.

Aren’t they afraid that Li Yao would be kidnapped and the secret of Wood Release would be discovered by other ninja villages?

The Third Raikage couldn't understand why this happened.

But he knew that Li Yao must have other secrets.

As long as he catches Li Yao, he will know everything.

"Boss, Li Yao seems to have discovered us."

After a while, Damocles' surprised voice suddenly came from the headphones, and the Third Raikage was also stunned.

He knew the visual monitoring range of the eagle, the spiritual beast bred by the Daruma family.

At this time, only one minute had passed since Damocles informed him that Li Yao had returned. No matter how fast Li Yao flew, he could only fly about seven or eight kilometers in one minute.

Li Yao should be at least four or five kilometers away from here now.

At this distance, Li Yao noticed something unusual?

Could it be that he also possesses the ability to perceive with such a wide range?

Before the Third Raikage could figure out why Li Yao noticed something unusual, Damocles' anxious voice came from the headset.

"Boss, Li Yao turned around and flew back."

"hateful!"

The Third Raikage cursed inwardly, realizing that they had been discovered, and immediately broke out of the ground, followed by the three elite jonin who were lying in ambush.

Now the Third Raikage can be sure that Li Yao did discover their ambush from a distance of four or five kilometers.

Regardless of whether his perception ability is chakra perception, visual perception, or other perception abilities, it means that it will be twice as difficult to launch a sneak attack on Li Yao.

In the sky, Damocles flew down riding a giant eagle.

The Third Raikage and his companions leaped up and landed on the giant eagle's back. The five of them and the eagle flew towards Li Yao at high speed.

Since the sneak attack failed, we can only attack by force.

“I didn’t expect there were three more hidden on the island!”

On the back of the giant black iron eagle in front, Li Yao sensed that three people suddenly jumped out from the rocks around the wooden house, and he was shocked.

The distance was too far, and his chakra perception ability did not sense the three people hiding in the rocks.

All he could sense was the giant eagle high in the sky, the people on the eagle's back, and the people hiding in the sea.

Fortunately, after he noticed that someone was guarding the island, he immediately turned around and left without any intention of going forward to test it.

The other party was able to find the Viper Island, obviously coming for him, so they must have intelligence on him and have made corresponding preparations.

Li Yao would not risk his own life to test whether these preparations could kill him.

Turning around and leaving is the best option.

Facts have proved that his choice was right.

Among the three people lying in ambush, the chakra of one of them was so strong that Li Yao was moved. The strength of that chakra could not be matched by the third generation of monkeys.

The opponent is undoubtedly a Kage-level powerhouse, and a top-level Kage-level powerhouse.

With Li Yao's current strength and without the chakra acupoint burst, he is no match for a Kage-level warrior, especially when the opponent is not alone.

It’s better to escape first.

I still say that, if he is given another four years and faces the current situation again, he won’t have to run away at all and can directly kill the opponent.

Too bad it's not four years from now.

"The art of shadow clone."

Li Yao immediately created two shadow clones, and then sank into the Black Iron Giant Eagle with the two shadow clones and the naked woman in a vegetative state.

This prevents the shadow clone and the original body from being seen through.

Afterwards, Li Yao's shadow clones each summoned a black iron giant eagle out of the belly of the current black iron giant eagle. Li Yao's real body, carrying the dust, entered the black iron giant eagle condensed by a shadow clone and hid inside it.

In this way, the black iron giant eagle outside was divided into three, and there was a Li Yao on the back of each black iron giant eagle, but only the black iron giant eagle flying to the southwest had Li Yao's body and the dust in its belly.

"Boss, Li Yao created a clone and two black chakra giant eagles and flew in three directions."

In the back, on the back of the summoning beast giant eagle, Damocles reported to the Third Raikage the information about Li Yao's division of troops.

"Clone..." The Third Raikage frowned slightly, turned to look at a subordinate beside him, and asked: "Kafu, can you tell which one is the real one?"

The Kumogakure ninja named Kafu made seals with both hands, closed his eyes, and shook his head, saying, "No, the distance is too far, I can't sense it."

The ninjas brought by the Third Raikage this time include Damocles with super visual perception and his summoning beast Giant Eagle, as well as elite Jonin like Kafu who is proficient in chakra perception.

There are also elite jonin who are proficient in memory exploration techniques.

It can be said that all the ninjas who came here not only possessed the top combat power of Kumogakure, but also had special perception abilities.

But I didn't expect that Li Yao also had amazing perception abilities.

"Which direction is the Konoha Anbu in?" the Third Raikage suddenly asked.

"Li Yao's right." Damocles replied.

"OK, let's determine which one of the Li Yao on the left and the Li Yao in the middle is the real body." said the Third Raikage.

Li Yao on the right is handed over to the Konoha Anbu. I believe that after seeing their actions, the Konoha Anbu will know which side of Li Yao to chase.

What happened next was exactly as the Third Raikage had predicted.

Seeing the Third Raikage and his men chasing Li Yao on the left and in the middle, the Sarutobi Tenju couple cooperated tacitly and chased Li Yao who was flying to the right, which is the northwest direction.

The couple had already realized that they had been discovered, but the Third Raikage ignored them.

This made the couple secretly relieved.

That's the Third Raikage. Once he sets his target on them, given their current state, there would be almost no chance of survival if they were stopped.

Fortunately, the other party was more eager for Li Yao.

Chapter 103 Black Thunder

"Did you find my true form? Or..."

In the southwest direction, Li Yao, sitting in the belly of the giant black iron eagle, sensed that the pursuing enemy was flying towards him at a very fast speed, approaching at a very fast speed, and his heart suddenly tightened a little.

After thinking about it, Li Yao was not sure whether the enemy had guessed where his real body was.

So he immediately ordered the shadow clones in the southwest and northwest directions to control the Black Iron Giant Eagle to change direction at the same time, flying in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the middle shadow clone.

In this way, the distance in three directions can be maximized as much as possible, so that he can quickly see which direction the enemy is chasing him.

"Li Yao in the southwest and northwest changed direction and headed north and south respectively."

In the rear, Damocles, who saw all this, promptly reported the information about Li Yao's change of direction.

“We continue on our course.”

The Third Raikage did not choose to change direction, but continued to fly in his current direction.

Soon, the giant eagle flew to a position only two kilometers away from Li Yao in the west and north.

“Did you sense it?” the Third Raikage asked quickly.

This distance can already be sensed by Kafu's chakra perception ability.

However, in Kafu's chakra perception, Li Yao in both directions was the real body, with chakra on his body, so he couldn't tell who was the shadow clone.

There is only one explanation for this situation.
