Withdrawing his observation gaze, Xie Mao raised his head and looked at the night sky in the ninja world.

"I came up with the system while watching the night sky..." Many possibilities flashed through Xie Mao's mind, speculating on the source of the system, but now he had no way to verify it, nor to resist or reject it.

In the dangerous ninja world, every ounce of strength should be tightly grasped. Xie Mao doesn't want to regret it until he is about to die.

At least I haven't found any harm yet... Xie Mao comforted himself.

The original "Scorpion" was famous for being solitary. None of the resting ninjas around him came to disturb Xie Mao, but just vaguely surrounded him for protection.

There are three puppet masters in the second batch of ninjas, Chiyo, Xie Mao, and a low-key jounin named Kazama. He is tall and his whole body is shrouded in a black cloak.

These three people are the key to overcoming this mission. Chiyo and Kazama are powerful, but only the genin Xie Mao needs protection.

After all, not many years after the war ended, each ninja village was dormant, licking its wounds, planning the next war, and was never stingy with assassins and killers for the geniuses of other villages.

The current jounin and chuunin all came from the Second Ninja War and are very vigilant. They are very afraid that if they are not careful, the despicable Kenzuka will hack the genius of their village.

In such a quiet atmosphere, the reconnaissance ninja who had followed Chiyo returned and exchanged codes with the ninjas who stayed behind, before everyone set off for the camp.

At the main entrance of the camp, Chiyo was waiting there with a female ninja with a good figure, wearing a black corset and bare arms. The female ninja's hair was dark green overall, and her long hair was tied together into a ball, but her cheeks were

The long hair hanging down on both sides is yellow, which looks a bit unconventional.

This female ninja is the very famous Sword Release Ninja of Sunagakure Village, Hayakura. The powerful blood barrier can easily evaporate the water in the enemy's body or cause an explosion. The destructive power and lethality are very amazing. She is regarded by the village.

A proud and talented man.

The first batch of teams was led by Ye Cang, who violently eliminated the agencies lurking in the secret passage.

Waiting for Xie Mao and others to come closer, Ye Cang, who was still standing casually with his hands on his hips, put down his hands and stood up, and said solemnly: "Everyone came all night, thank you for your hard work."

"It's all for the village, it's not hard work, and the journey is not far." Chiyo laughed, "Next, let's ask Yakura Jounin to tell us the information about the mission."

"yes."

Ye Cang faced everyone and said directly without pausing:

"It has been confirmed that the secret passage hidden in Qianfeng Sandfield is the experimental site left behind by our Sand Hidden Village during the Second Kazekage period. It is said to be a secret passage, but it is two kilometers long. It is a tunnel deep into the mountain, leaving a large number of experimental materials.

Mechanisms, puppets and secret techniques can still be activated after a long time, causing us a lot of trouble."

"At the end of the tunnel is a defense composed of five puppets. Our first batch of ninjas are not enough to conquer it."

At this time, a ninja raised his hand. Ye Cang glanced at it and said kindly: "Please tell me."

"Does the puppet have chakra lines on its body?"

"We haven't observed it, and this is something we still can't understand." Ye Cang said and glanced at Chiyo beside him, but Chiyo looked thoughtful.

"In other words, we can't be sure if there is a puppet master at the end of the secret passage?" the ninja asked next.

"Yes." Ye Cang nodded, "So when performing missions in the future, everyone must be extremely vigilant to guard against possible enemies."

Ye Cang's Burning Release and other ninjas can't defeat it. How can a puppet have such a strong defense... Xie Mao thought with some surprise.

Ye Cang looked around and saw that no one asked any more questions. She continued: "Through the method of investigating ninjas, we determined that there was a huge dark room behind the five puppets. Based on the remaining environmental intelligence, we speculated that the dark room was

It's a huge puppet laboratory that used to be owned by Monzaemon-sama and was later abandoned."

"There is no record of this puppet laboratory in the village." Chiyo added from the side.

A younger ninja in the team raised his hand, and after receiving the agreement, he curiously asked: "Advisor Chiyo, Monzaemon-sama died here, and the Second Kazekage-sama brought his body back. This information is true.

,Is it right?"

After hearing this, Chiyo nodded slightly: "I have confirmed it with the Third Kazekage-sama, it is true."

The faces of the ninjas suddenly became a little strange. The place where the once famous puppet master Monzaemon was buried was actually a secret laboratory with no records in the village. Even people who are not good at thinking can detect the strong sense of it.

Something's wrong.

The second generation Fengying probably knew about it, but he hid this laboratory. Why... Xie Mao thought about it, feeling a little headache.

There is not much space in Sand Hidden Village, and many secrets are hidden in the sand. Even if Xie Mao knows the plot of the future ninja world, he cannot solve the mystery in front of him.

Seeing that everyone was silent and thinking, Ye Cang said: "I have discussed with Advisor Chiyo that no matter whether there are new enemies behind the five puppets, elites like us in Sunagakure Village have no reason to be afraid or hesitant. Today

Break through their defenses at night and complete the mission!"

Chiyo nodded lightly and shouted: "Everyone, let's go!"

The two leaders reached a consensus, and the ninjas naturally only had the role of execution. They soon settled in the camp, and the first group of ninjas who had already fallen asleep came out to gather. There was a look of tiredness on their faces.

But the movements were quite fast, and soon the two groups of ninjas gathered together, a total of twenty-three people.

"Five ninjas were seriously injured, but fortunately they were not fatal. Only two people are left to take care of them."

Before setting off, Xie Mao heard someone discussing this and saw that there were indeed lights on in the camp.

"Scorpion." Chiyo suddenly came over and called out.

Xie Mao turned around and saw that Qianyo had already walked closer and whispered: "Take out the puppet before entering the secret passage, and don't stay three meters away from me."

"yes."

Under the watchful eye of Chiyo, Xie Mao took out the scroll containing the puppet [Father]. After using chakra, the smoke rose and the puppet stood in front of Xie Mao.

"Where's the other one?" Chiyo asked.

"Let's use one first." Xie Mao replied calmly, his fingers already extending chakra lines to control the puppet.

"Is this...that's fine." I don't know what reason Chiyo came up with, but in short she seemed to have convinced herself and agreed to Xie Mao's plan.

Being lonely is not without its benefits. There is a sense of "I can do whatever I want" and "You'd better not ask why".

After the team was almost ready, Chiyo led everyone to the secret passage hidden in Qianfeng Sand.

In a team of more than twenty people, each ninja had a certain distance between them, making the whole team appear larger.

Xie Mao obeyed Chiyo's instructions and ran in front of the team. [Father] followed him closely under the control of the chakra line.

The Qianfeng Sandfield is not particularly cold at night, but the wind is much stronger. Occasionally, some windy sand hits the face and hurts. The animals that should be active at night seem to feel that the ninja brigade is not easy to deal with, and they huddle up one by one, only in the dark night.

There was only a little sound of running ninjas.

When they arrived at the tunnel hidden in the cracks between the rocks, Ye Cang reminded loudly: "The tunnel is quite tortuous, and there are some bottomless potholes. Everyone must stay vigilant."

Xie Mao stopped at the entrance of the tunnel and looked at the secret entrance.

The entrance is about two meters high and one meter wide. It looks very narrow and irregularly shaped between rugged rocks. There are random stones piled up nearby, which were probably used to cover the entrance before.

Looking into the tunnel, you can see a little fluorescent light, but deeper there is only darkness.

"Be prepared." Chiyo shouted, and the two puppets took the lead and entered the tunnel.

The first group of ninjas skillfully took out torches and lit them, and everyone entered the tunnel in order. They didn't go far before they encountered the first turn, and the tunnel became wider and could accommodate four or five people walking side by side, but for

As a ninja, there are still some difficulties in using it.

It was also from here that a large number of battle traces appeared on the ground. The traces left by the wind escape and earth escape ninjutsu were quite obvious. There were also many broken mechanisms on the ground that had not been recovered in time.

"Be careful not to miss the mark." Ye Cang turned around and reminded Xie Mao. The two were not far apart.

Xie Mao nodded calmly. He only needed to follow the path taken by Chiyo and Ye Cang. These two were elite jounin and would definitely not fall into simple traps.

Where is the strength and experience?

"This place really has a second-generation style." Chiyo, who was leading the team and running at the front, looked at the walls on both sides from time to time.

Style? Xie Mao turned around to look. Only then did he notice that the slightly dim tunnel wall was carved with a pattern that had become blurred after being eroded by time. The pattern was roughly in the shape of a long strip with mottled grids on it.

.

At first Xie Mao couldn't figure out what it was. After running for a while and seeing the two mighty claws extending from the long strip, Xie Mao realized that the carving on the wall was a dragon.

That is the mythical existence that the Nidaime Kazekage admires!
