Namikaze Minato did not disperse the two shadow clones. After all, the smoke and sound when the shadow clones disappeared were not small.
So just let them be at the forefront of our side and continue to act as spies.
The four people in two groups all transformed into desert lizards about ten centimeters long, and then used invisibility techniques to further lose their bodies.
And ‘Chamaru’ only knows the transformation technique and the counter-spiritual technique of returning to the Inuzuka tribe in Konoha Village.
So it could only transform into a desert lizard, and then get into Inuzuka's coat pocket.
soon.
Two clones, four people, and one dog, quietly crossed the outer guard tower.
Then came the second and third ones. In order to ensure that they did not cause too much noise, they moved a little slowly. It took them nearly an hour to finally approach the east wall of Loulan City.
at this time.
The four of them have made a tacit agreement not to use the radio to talk anymore, because they know that there must be many experts above, especially those who can sense abilities.
But no matter how dangerous it is, they have to find a way to enter the city, because they are ninjas and the mission is the same.
Next.
Namikaze Minato restored his human form while maintaining the effect of the invisibility spell, and then tried to enter the city alone according to the action plan he had discussed along the way.
Yes.
Normally he could jump up, but in order to hide himself, he still attached a layer of chakra to his hands and feet, and climbed up along the rough, heavily weathered wall like a gecko.
After a while.
Hyuga Hizashi has also returned to his invisible human form.
Because he can't use his Byakugan at all in the lizard form, he needs to use his Byakugan to monitor the surrounding movements for Minato Namikaze, and give timely reminders when situations arise.
"There are so many!"
Namikaze Minato came to the city wall and was surprised to find that not only was there a soldier guarding the city with a gun every ten meters or so.
In the familiar Loulan City, there are many armed soldiers patrolling on the criss-crossing sky bridges between the minarets, and from time to time you can see some men in black flying in the air.
This is definitely a large and well-organized force!
"But what about the ninja?"
Namikaze Minato's eyes kept scanning, but he couldn't see any figure dressed as a ninja at all. Is there no sea ninja village at all? They were all pretending before?
No matter what, just keep going.
Because there were soldiers with guns nearby, he couldn't make a sound, so he could only stick to the edge of the city wall and make a tactical gesture to the people below. He knew that Hinata Hizashi was watching from below.
soon.
Under Hinata Hizashi's hidden reminder, the three of them successfully climbed up to the top of the city one by one, and then continued to maintain the formation of two in front and two in back, heading towards the central tower in Loulan City.
As expected of the four jonins of Konoha, their professionalism in this area is beyond recognition.
The degree of caution is even more outrageous. With the help of Hinata Hizashi's eye-rolling ability, as long as there is a person wearing a black suit in front of him, he will avoid it or wait for the other person to leave first.
Because they don't want to bet on whether the other party has that kind of strange perception ability.
"arrive!"
Namikaze Minato and Akimichi Choza, who were walking in front, came to the bottom of the towering giant tower and clung to a steeple wall to observe the gun-wielding soldiers near the distant gate.
"Captain, there are a large number of men, women, and children who look like civilians in the rooms on each floor of this tower. There are also a few people on the top floor. One of the women sitting on the throne should be Queen Loulan."
Later, Hinata Hizashi lowered his voice and spoke quickly into the headset.
It seems that everyone in the city was imprisoned inside...
Namikaze Minato's heart sank, and he just felt that if there was a battle later, he must avoid causing too much damage to the tower.
But it's good news that nothing happened to Queen Sarah.
"How about it, do we need to take away the Queen of Loulan?" Akimichi Dingzao asked in a low voice to the seemingly unattended person.
"You can try it."
After thinking about it, Minato Namikaze replied in a low voice. He also felt that since Crocodile was not here, there should be no very powerful people in Loulan.
And it’s not difficult to take people away with his methods...
"But our mission is to find out more information. Taking her away now will definitely cause a stir."
"Hizashi-san, please go to the west side of the tower with Esang next, and then use your white eyes to look deep underground there. You should be able to find a palace similar to an altar."
Namikaze Minato always felt that both the appearance of Crocodile and the goals of this group were inseparable from the dragon veins here.
After all, this is the only thing of value in Loulan.
"yes."
Hinata Hizashi's obedience is particularly good. When he heard the order, he and Inuzuka Eru rushed to the XC area cautiously, and his Byakugan did not dare to close for a moment.
"Ding Zuo-sang, let's split up one by one and climb to the top of the tower. After they see useful information, we will take away Queen Loulan!"
Namikaze Shuikou briefly explained the next actions.
"no problem!"
Akimichi Dingzao nodded heavily.
However, both of them were using invisibility techniques, so neither could see the other. They could only sense the other's position with their keen hearing and close-range chakra aura.
Neither of them are perceptive ninjas, and both of them are consciously restraining themselves, so they can only barely sense within ten meters.
But this is enough.
The next step is to climb the outer wall of the central tower. This kind of thing is completely basic operation for them.
The convenience of chakra is demonstrated once again.
"arrive......"
After a long time, Namikaze Minato finally climbed to the window on the top floor and saw Sarah who had stood up from the throne at some point and was talking to a woman in a black dress and purple hair.
The figure with long brown and red hair reminded him of his wife at home.
This made Namikaze Minato even more determined to save Sara.
"To be able to sneak in here, you ninjas are indeed quite capable, but you just came at the right time..."
But at this moment, a cold and playful voice suddenly came from inside, which shocked Minato Namikaze.
Found!
Namikaze Minato's reaction speed was incredibly fast.
Almost as soon as he heard the first word, he had already made a move to dodge backwards. At the same time, a bright knife light smoothly cut through the outer wall of the tower where he had just been lying.
At this moment.
The distance between the sharp edge of the vacuum air blade and the tip of Namikaze Minato's nose as he jumped backwards was less than two centimeters, and the blue light of the blade could even be reflected on his handsome face.
【Whoosh!】
However, Namikaze Minato disappeared out of thin air, and the crescent-shaped sword light continued to fly high into the distance.
However, this also disabled his invisibility, and he appeared next to Akimichi Choza who was still lying on the wall of the tower below.
"Phew, is the fight finally about to begin? Yes, it's a bit uncomfortable to hold it in all this time..."
Akimichi Dingza also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and immediately stood upright on the wall with the help of the chakra on his feet.
Looking up at Minato Namikaze next to him, he saw the figure with his upper body protruding from the cutout in the wall on the top floor.
It was a man with long silver-white hair and a cold temperament. In his hand was a long knife with a slightly curved blade that shone with cold light.
"warrior?!"
Akimichi Choza said in surprise.
"die!"
This man didn't have any nonsense. The moment he looked at Namikaze Minato, he turned into an afterimage and swooped down at high speed without any scruples...
