Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

The Land of Fire is so vast that even with the various Konoha clans guarding important locations, many still manage to slip through the net and infiltrate.

The mission of the Lotus Night Squad is to eliminate these enemies.

Danzo Shimura put away the map and waited for Renya to give instructions.

"Split up and fire signal flares if you encounter danger." Lian Ye looked at the two of them. "Don't be reckless. If you can't win, run away and hold out until your teammates come to your aid."

"Understood!" Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane said in unison.

The three patrolled an area of ​​about ten kilometers in radius, while other areas were handled by separate teams.

They needed to keep moving to prevent the enemy from infiltrating.

Lianye parted ways with the two and leaped to the treetop to leave.

…………

Night fell over the border of the Land of Fire, and Renya's figure moved through the forest, her three-tomoe Sharingan glowing crimson in the darkness.

This was his third consecutive day on patrol duty, and the smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air.

"These guys are getting more and more reckless," Lian Ye murmured softly.

The first day here went well; we didn't encounter any enemies.

However, starting from the evening of the second day, they would occasionally encounter several enemies trying to infiltrate the Land of Fire.

Fortunately, these were all small fry, which he easily cleaned up.

He thought these guys would stop for a while, but on the third day, the intruders came in even more frequently.

On that day, he killed no fewer than ten ninjas.

This included ninjas from Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure, and even some ninjas from small countries.

It seems these guys couldn't hold back after Hashirama Senju passed away.

At present, the friction is only in the border areas, and all countries are watching and waiting.

These ninjas were dispatched only to test the overall strength of Konoha Village.

Only after the probing is over will a full-scale war be launched against Konoha.

"Such probing won't last more than a few days..."

Lianye squatted on a tree, took out a book from her bosom, and began to read.

He needed to learn the theory of Flying Thunder God before the battlefield fully erupted, so he took every spare moment to read and study.

Currently, it's just a small-scale skirmish, and the pressure on Konoha isn't too great.

Once a full-blown war breaks out and all countries launch simultaneous attacks on the Land of Fire, there will be no time to learn ninjutsu.

Lian Ye wanted to learn as much theoretical knowledge as possible in the limited time available.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a ninjutsu that is simply beyond human capabilities to learn.

The theory alone takes a lot of time, and it's useless for him to memorize the contents of the book with his Sharingan. Memorizing and understanding are two different things.

He needs to understand the meaning behind it and know how to operate it.

Just like learning math, simply memorizing formulas is useless; what's important is having the ability to solve problems and get the answers right.

Lianye is currently in a situation where she can memorize the formula but can't solve the problem.

This kind of ninjutsu, which involves spatial coordinates, is difficult to learn in a short time unless one is exceptionally talented.

Otherwise, even though Tobirama Senju invented the Flying Thunder God Technique so many years ago, Minato Namikaze wouldn't be the only one who could use it skillfully.

After reading for a while, Lian Ye yawned, got up, and continued her patrol.

Their team needs to be stationed here for a month, and only after that time will someone come to relieve them.

The rest periods are taken during the day in shifts, with two people patrolling and one person resting, and they take turns like that.

There is no rest at night, as the enemy usually operates at night, and the probability of them sneaking into the Land of Fire under the cover of darkness is higher.

Lianye took out two soldier pills from her ninja tool pouch, stuffed them into her mouth, and swallowed them with difficulty.

Soldier pills are commonly used by ninjas during missions. They can restore chakra and replenish stamina, relieve physical fatigue, or maintain a good condition.

The food itself is good, it's just that it doesn't taste good.

For Lian Ye, who was used to eating gourmet food all year round, this thing was simply hard to swallow.

But the situation is special now, and he has no choice. He can't exactly start a fire and cook in the forest, can he?

That would be troublesome if our location were exposed...

Just then, Lian Ye's ears twitched slightly, and she immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Three ninjas wearing headscarves were seen walking towards them from a distance.

This outfit clearly identifies him as a ninja from Sunagakure.

Because Lianye was standing in the tree, and with the cover of night and the dense forest, the others did not notice that there was someone above them.

Three Sand Ninja were moving quickly with their bodies low to the ground.

The leading Jonin said to his companions, "We have successfully infiltrated the Land of Fire. Now we will hide and await the Kazekage's orders!"

"Understood, teacher!" The two young Sand Ninja were excited.

They were newly graduated genin, and their first mission was to infiltrate the Land of Fire with the jonin in charge.

Successfully completing missions will earn you a large amount of merit points, which can be exchanged for powerful ninjutsu, making you stronger.

The Sand Village Jonin looked at the two excited people, a hint of regret appearing in his eyes.

In this mission, everyone except himself can be sacrificed.

If necessary, they can be abandoned and left...

They sacrificed the lives of two genin to buy time for a jonin to escape.

This is definitely worthwhile.

After all, in war, genin are just cannon fodder.

Especially those guys who barely become genin in their teens are the worst of the worst.

Their only value is to obtain some intelligence for the village.

"I hope you all survive the mission successfully..."

Before the words were finished, Lian Ye's katana was already three inches from its sheath, and colorless and odorless venom was slowly flowing along the blade's texture.

The Sand Village members were completely unaware of the murderous intent lurking above them.

As they passed under the tree where Lianye was, Lianye swooped down like an arrow released from a bow.

The Sand Village Jonin sensed the danger and was about to dodge when the blade had already sliced ​​across his neck. He fell to the ground without even a cry of pain.

Warm drops of blood splattered on the faces of the two Sand Ninja, their minds going blank for a moment.

They stood there, frozen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their faces filled with fear.

The two had just become ninjas and had never seen such a bloody scene before.

Seeing their leader die before their eyes, they didn't even have the will to resist.

"Senior, please spare my life!"

The two knelt on the ground, begging for mercy frantically, their faces covered in tears and snot.

They were no longer excited; their eyes were filled with terror.

The two Sand Ninja then realized the cruelty of the ninja world...

"We don't want to die! Please, let us go!"

The only response to their pleas for mercy was the sound of blades slicing through the air.

Lianye's katana easily pierced through the throats of both of them.

The pleas for mercy disappeared.

The red light of the Sharingan illuminated the two convulsing corpses. Lianye coldly sheathed her sword, the crimson in her eyes gradually fading.

"You've already infiltrated the Land of Fire and still expect to survive? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Just then, he suddenly heard the sounds of a battle breaking out in the distance.

Lianye leaped back onto the tree trunk and sped away in the night, leaving behind only three gradually cooling corpses.

Chapter 108 Danzo's Last Words

Two people were fighting in the woods.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Continuous Waves!"

Danzo Shimura conjured a bluish-white vortex with his hands, and wind blades tore through the air as he flew toward the nearby Sand Ninja.

The Sand Ninja before me was a puppeteer, manipulating three human puppets with chakra threads in his hands.

Faced with the incoming wind blades, the puppeteer sneered. With a flick of his fingers, the abdomens of three puppets burst open, and a barrage of poisonous needles rained down.

Danzo Shimura's pupils contracted sharply, and the wind-style shield he formed rippled under the impact of the poison needles.

He quickly retreated, dodging the attack.

The poisoned needles fell to the ground, filling the air with a pungent, corrosive odor.

The puppeteer seized the opportunity to manipulate the puppets into a triangular formation, with chains popping out from their joints to trap Danzo in the center. The chains were coated with black venom, which dripped onto the ground and rose in wisps of white smoke.

"A mere trick." Danzo uttered a low growl, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, his Wind Release technique transforming into an invisible blade that severed the chains.

The puppeteer's attacks came in waves, and the puppet at the front suddenly opened its chest, revealing the explosive tags inside.

Upon seeing this, Danzo quickly moved away from the blast radius of the explosive tag.

Seeing that he couldn't break through after a long time, the puppeteer was clearly getting anxious.

The battle here has definitely exposed his position; if he doesn't kill the Konoha ninja in front of him soon...

He'll be in danger once other Konoha ninjas arrive to provide support.

After all, this is the territory of the Land of Fire, and the battle must be resolved promptly.

Thinking of this, the puppeteer's ten fingers danced wildly, controlling the remaining two puppets to launch an attack.

Faced with the puppeteer's frenzied attacks, Danzo's Wind Release offensive noticeably weakened, and cold sweat trickled down his face.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, and a poisoned steel needle pierced his right arm with pinpoint accuracy.

Danzo's expression changed, and he realized something was wrong. He quickly pulled out the steel needle, and thick black blood flowed from the wound.

"Hahahaha!" The puppeteer laughed wildly, his eyes full of mockery. "No one can survive being poisoned by me!"

Danzo's arm turned bluish-purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Danzo knelt on one knee, his left hand pressing tightly against his poisoned right arm, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with resentment.

Are you going to die here?

Damn it, I haven't even become Hokage yet!

It's so unfair to die like this...

Danzo could clearly feel his body gradually getting cold, a sign of poisoning.

If Xiaochun, who was transferring dorms, were here, maybe there would be a way.

However, given his current condition, he probably won't last long enough for Xiaochun to arrive.

At this critical moment, a sharp blade flashed across the night.

Lian Ye held a katana, her movements as agile as a leopard, the blade gleaming with a cold, icy light.

He stood in front of Danzo, without turning his head, and said:

"Danzo, hang in there."

As she spoke, Lian Ye's figure blurred into afterimages as she rushed towards the puppeteer.

The puppeteer's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected the Konoha ninja's support to arrive so quickly, and he immediately manipulated the puppet to launch an even more ferocious attack.
