Chapter 258 Perception

"Mist ninja?"

Muttering in surprise, Lei Luo glanced at the Sun Phase Ring and saw that the other party was still standing silently on the edge of the cliff, using his white eyes to observe the movements in the distance, so he subconsciously turned on his perception ability to sense it.

But to Lei Luo's surprise, his perception ability did not seem to take effect this time, because the wind and waves were still calm within a five-kilometer range, and he did not sense any approaching chakra light spots.

'Is the distance exceeded? Or is there interference?'

While thinking, Lei Luo walked to Hinata Huan in a few steps, followed the other person's line of sight, and also cast his gaze into the distance.

Then, he saw patches of thick white fog starting from the seaside and extending outwards. The direction in which the fog continued to spread seemed to be the mountain peak where their team was located.

The area covered by this large white fog is very wide. At a rough glance, it covers dozens of square kilometers, which is about the same as several large football fields combined.

Judging from the speed at which the white mist spreads, as well as the faint movement, its spreading momentum is almost as powerful as a terrifying tsunami.

After silently observing for a moment, Lei Luo came to the conclusion after simple calculations: It would only take an hour or two for the menacing white mist to reach the location where he and others were.

'Who is that guy? Is he a Jinchuriki?'

'And how did he find us when we are so far apart?'

Unconsciously raising his hand to cover the sun above his head, Lei Luo squinted his eyes and looked at the white mist in the distance, then turned his head and asked Hinata Huan:

"You just said that the enemy is the Mist Ninja. Can I understand that you can see the scene there?"

"Um."

Nodding slightly, Hinata Huan did not explain too much, but directly stated the information he had obtained:

"There are twelve Mist Ninjas in the mist. One of them has an extremely large amount of chakra. It is initially judged that he is a Jinchuuriki. As for the other Mist Ninjas..."

Perhaps because he felt that the other eleven Kiri ninjas were not worth mentioning, or perhaps because he was unable to make an accurate judgment, Hinata Tamaki hesitated for a second or two before adding his own words:

"It shouldn't pose much of a threat to us."

At this moment, the moment Hinata Tamaki finished speaking, Aburame Shiguro came out of nowhere. He also stood next to Hinata Tamaki, silently focusing his eyes on the distance while speaking calmly.

asked:

"Are you going to take over the tailed beasts from Kirigakure Village?"

Aburame Shiguro spoke loudly, as if she didn't take Kirigakure's Jinchuuriki into consideration at all.

Lei Luo didn't know whether the other party was pretending to have this mentality, or whether he really thought so. He only knew that now was not the best time to fight Kirigakure.

Although with the overall combat strength of their team, it may not be impossible to fight against the tailed beast, and it is not impossible to even capture it alive.

But if you do this, you will undoubtedly alert the enemy, and this is not what Lei Luo wants to see.

The third generation Mizukage should be the target of their trip.

"There's no point in fighting the Jinchuriki, let's go."

After simply leaving such an instruction, Lei Luo turned around without delay, waved to the others behind him, and then left the place in a few steps and ran down the mountain.

Seeing this, Aburame Shiguro didn't comment at all, she just turned around silently, performed several teleportation techniques in succession, and quickly chased in the direction of Lei Luo.

The remaining people looked at each other in confusion, as if they did not expect Lei Luo to retreat so decisively, but they did not delay too long and used the teleportation technique to leave one after another.

The two strongest ninjas in the team left, and none of the remaining ones were confident of defeating the Jinchūriki, so the chance of being killed was quite high.

Therefore, no matter what they think in their hearts, no one is willing to disobey Lei Luo's order at this moment.

Several whooshing sounds passed by, and not a single figure was left on the spot.

Only the faint roaring sound in the distance seemed to mark the boundless white fog, which was still moving closer here without stopping.

Judging from the speed at which it is sweeping in, it seems that it has no intention of slowing down at all.

It's just that its forward direction has shifted slightly, and it's aiming at the position where Lei Luo and others left.

It felt like the mist ninjas hiding inside could ignore the tens of kilometers between the two sides and perfectly grasp the opponent's movements.



Half an hour later, Lei Luo and his party quickly shuttled through the dense forest. Swishing sounds were heard one after another, and leaves were swaying.

While running, Lei Luo turned to Hinata Huan beside him and asked: "Are those guys still following us?"

Hearing this, Hinata Huan didn't say much. He formed a seal with his hands, blood vessels popped up in the corners of his eyes, and his face suddenly looked a little ferocious.

But inexplicably, Hinata Tamaki's expression was calm.

Glancing back hastily, Hinata Huan kept walking, and after stepping over several big trees, he regained his gaze back and said to Lei Luo in a deep voice:

"Still following, still heading towards 7 o'clock, now...it's close to about ten kilometers away from us."

"Ten kilometers? Can your white eyes see so far?"

Hearing the number coming out of the other person's mouth, Lei Luo glanced at Hinata Huan in surprise. He didn't expect that the range of Byakugan's perception was really so far.

If coupled with the fact that the opponent could accurately detect the existence of the Jinchuuriki from dozens of kilometers away, then the strategic value of the Byakugan was undoubtedly far beyond Lei Luo's imagination.

"Yes, my white eyes can indeed see that far."

Hinata Huan replied calmly, and then he stopped talking, just speeded up silently, and continued on his way with his head lowered without saying a word.

"Isn't the point about "white eyes" but "my white eyes"?"

Pausing unconsciously for a moment, Lei Luo glanced at Hinata Huan's back, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "What an interesting guy."

Perhaps Lei Luo's sudden slowdown caused some misunderstanding among the team members following him.

Aburame Shiguro immediately came closer, and at the same time, a flying insect swooped out from the surrounding forest and landed on his just-raised index finger.

This scene seemed extremely harmonious, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

Aburame Shiguro raised her hand and placed the insect that suddenly flew under her nose, sniffed it silently, and said to Lei Luo in a calm tone:

"This smell...if there are no errors in the ancient books I have read, then the jinchūriki behind us..."

"It should be the three-tailed Jinchuuriki."

"How about it, are you ready to take it?"

Putting away the smile on his face, Lei Luo glanced at Aburame Zhihei coldly. He was about to continue to reply to the other party, but suddenly thought of the tasks he had assigned to each team member before.

At present, it seems that Aburame Shiguro is undoubtedly the most likely to complete it, so Lei Luo did not answer the other party's question, but directly asked:

"Have you discovered anything about how that guy sensed our location?"
