"I've cleared everything here, how about your side?"

The air in the forest was filled with a strong smell of blood. Looking at the large number of ninja corpses lying on the ground around him, Ayane was asking about the situation at Liuli through a portable radio communicator.

This kind of portable radio communicator has been improved by the Demon Country military. It is not only smaller and easier to carry, but also because receivers are secretly arranged in various areas of the Demon Country, it can be used as long as it is within the Ghost Country.

Real-time communication via this radio.

In terms of real-time exchange of information, it is more convenient than the perception ninjutsu of the Konoha Nara clan.

Unless it is some special information that cannot be described in spoken words, in most cases, cooperative strategies can be developed using radio contact.

In a ninja battle, intelligence analysis and sharing is a very important part.

All previous ninja world wars have also proven this. The ninja village that obtained the information first became even more invincible on the battlefield.

"I have two more places here, and it may take half a day."

Liuli's cold voice came through the radio. The main body is located on the other side of the boundary of the Kingdom of Demons, but now it can communicate with Ayane without any hindrance. In terms of communication technology, the Kingdom of Demons is no longer limited to a single type of ninjutsu.

s method.

As long as the receiver is connected to the boundary and communicates within the entire world, it is theoretically possible.

For the ninja troops in the Kingdom of Ghosts, this can optimize many new tactics that are different from the traditional ninjas.

"no problem?"

Ayane laughed.

"Who do you think I am? This little guy can only warm me up a bit."

It is the mission of Ayane and Ruri to exterminate the underground black market ninjas who lurk into the Kingdom of Demons and attempt to carry out sabotage plans.

It is not difficult to deal with the ninjas in the underground black market who are of varying strength. Ayane and Liuli spend most of their time on allocating troops and looking for ninjas in the underground black market.

If the opponent concentrates and uses all their strength, they can wipe out all the underground black market ninjas who have sneaked in in less than half a minute.

Compared with the regularized ninja troops in the Kingdom of Demons, the underground black market ninjas who do not understand the tactics of ninja groups have an absolute disadvantage.

What's more, the team is led by two of the most powerful warriors in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Ayane didn't say anything about this. After knowing the situation on Liuli's side, she knew that there was no need to worry about the underground black market ninjas lurking into the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After cutting off the communication with Liuli, Ayane directed the surrounding Oni Country ninjas to clean the battlefield and handle the follow-up work.

After Ayane eliminated the underground black market ninjas she was responsible for, she immediately returned to Aster City.

Unlike Ruri, who has no job and is light-hearted, as the leader of the Hyuga clan in the Kingdom of Demons, she now also shoulders the task of being the captain of the security force in the Kingdom of Demons.

Eliminating the underground black market ninjas who have sneaked into the Kingdom of Demons to cause trouble is originally under the jurisdiction of the garrison. To deal with these secret rats, there is no need to dispatch the army. The garrison has absorbed many outstanding ninjas from the military, and there are also elites in it.

Ninjas are enough to deal with bounty hunters.

After all, although the overall strength of the security forces that maintain security within the Kingdom of Ghosts is not as good as that of the army, they are still sufficient to use force to stabilize the internal security of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Ayane returned home and prepared to change her clothes before going to work in the police force. After returning home, she found Shiraishi resting at home, sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper in his hand.

"It's a little early to come back today, Shiraishi-kun."

"The work ended early, so it's more leisurely now. Have you solved it over there?"

Shiraishi put down the newspaper and asked.

"It's solved. Liuli's side should still need some time. I'll probably come back tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work. The international environment has been a bit unstable recently. There has been a complete fight in the Country of Rain, and it may also affect the Country of Waves."

They seem to be two different countries, but on the map, the locations of the two countries are also far apart.

Theoretically, no matter how chaotic the Kingdom of Rain is, it has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Waves, but this time the situation is different.

Because the trigger for the civil strife in the Rain Country was controlled by major powers behind the scenes, including the Fire Country.

The Country of Waves is also a neighbor of the Country of Fire. Even though the Country of Fire has been somewhat weakened in recent years, it still has the power to control two small countries at the same time behind the scenes.

The five major countries have profound foundations, especially the extremely wide coverage of their personal networks. Countless nails have been planted by them in the surrounding small countries to prepare for war.

From this point of view, the Kingdom of Ghosts started late.

However, the expansion policy adopted by the Kingdom of Ghosts is fundamentally different from the existing model of a great power. The target subjects it recruits are also low-level civilians that the great powers have ignored. This is an area that the great powers have completely blanked out.

Therefore, even if the Kingdom of Ghosts started late, it is not difficult to catch up with the big powers.

The strength of the civilians at the bottom depends on whether they are organized, which is crucial.

Great powers and nobles looked down upon common people, and Shiraishi knew this very well.

Because the unorganized civilians are indeed a group of lambs without the power to resist, and will be defeated one by one, so there is no danger.

The Kingdom of Ghosts has a long way to go if it wants to become the core country that organizes the civilian class.

"Are Shiraishi-kun worried about that girl Kazuki?"

Ayane knew that Kazuhime had gone to the Country of Waves and planned to establish an outpost of the Country of Demons there to prepare for future wars.

But after all, the Country of Waves is adjacent to the Country of Fire. For the sake of international balance, the Country of Fire does not dare to make any extraordinary moves blatantly, but secretly it will definitely undermine the actions of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Country of Waves.

"Yeah, I'm not too worried about Ichiki's personal safety. I'm just worried that she will misjudge the situation and cause problems in the order of her actions. Her current actions in the country of waves can only be said to be remarkable.

.”

Through Cardo's report to him, Shiraishi had a clear understanding of Kazuhime's deployment in the Land of Waves. It was not very impressive, but there were no obvious mistakes so far, and the methods and moves were still too rigid in conventional forms.

"Although he is a genius, he is still a child after all. After all, you have prepared a backup plan, right?"

Ayane smiled and said.

On the surface, this is just a test for Yi Ji.

However, if the test fails, countless people from the Kingdom of Waves will sacrifice their lives. This is not something that can be overshadowed by a test.

She knew very well that Shiraishi was a person and would never be so careless when it came to matters involving human life and letting Kazuhime go to the Country of Waves. This behavior itself was a bait and trap.

The real backhand is still dormant under the water, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

"We have to see how she has learned in the past few years. But in the future, I may not be too relaxed. There are a lot of forces involved in this matter."

Now Shiraishi can only take a break from his busy schedule.

There are some things that Yi Ji cannot make the decision on her own.

For example, the merchant alliance on the isolated island, or the top management of the Fire Nation, these are behemoths that Ichiji cannot deal with with her own pure force.

Therefore, the series of measures that Ichiki launched in the Land of Waves were basically within Shiraishi's expectations. It seemed that he had taken the initiative, but in fact he had always been in a passive defensive state and had never taken a dominant advantage.

At this point, the competition of strength between countries is fundamental. War and politics are both means to win.

"In other words, you are going to take action yourself next?"

"Well, I have communicated with you by radio before. The merchant alliance on the isolated island must be dealt with. If we want to open a gap in the Country of Fire, the merchant alliance on the isolated island is the key."

The current Fire Country is like an unbreakable rock, leaving Shiraishi unable to find a place to strike.

Because this time the opponent is not a purely military organization like Konoha, but the highest authority of the Fire Nation - the Fire Nation daimyo.

To a certain extent, this is a more difficult existence to deal with than Naruto.

So far, Shiraishi has not been able to discover the opponent's flaws, so he allowed Kazuto to unleash her plan in the Land of Waves, in order to find out the mistakes in the steps of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and tear apart the outer layer of the Land of Fire.

protective film.

"Just be prepared. I'm going to work for the security team. I might not be back for dinner tonight. I'll leave it to you to supervise Cai's homework tonight."

Ayane, who had already changed her clothes, walked down from the second floor and said to Shiraishi.

"Isn't this too strict for Cai?"

Shiraishi asked.

"Although the future head of the Hyuga clan may not necessarily need him to inherit it, since he has a ninja talent that is no less than mine, it cannot be wasted like this. He is not required to be able to surpass me quickly, but at least he must have the ability to protect himself.

"

Ayane glanced at Shiraishi and said to him.

"Is that so? I understand. I was thinking that I would take him and Asuka out to relax in the evening when I have a rare free time today. It seems that the plan has been ruined."

Shiraishi smiled and shrugged, picking up the newspaper just enough to cover his face, and did not comment further on Ayane's words.

Ayane snorted softly, as if she was not particularly satisfied with Shiraishi's indulgent behavior, but she didn't say anything and turned around to leave.

After Ayane left, Shiraishi put down the newspaper in his hand again, stood up from the sofa, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside the window, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Falling into some kind of thought, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

Konoha.

At dusk, the dojo was deserted.

The sound of palm strikes continued. The little figure faced a wooden stake in the dojo, adjusted its pace and breathing, and kept hitting the wooden stake with its soft palms.
