Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 44 [044] The Stone of Greer
The wind howled.

Konoha and his party walked through the dense forest in scout formation.

The Country of Rivers (also known as the Country of Rivers), located between the two countries of Wind and Fire, is a standard hilly country.

Its borders are densely covered with mountains and forests, and rivers criss-cross. It also has the reputation of "the country of ten thousand rivers" in the ninja world, and has many incredible scenery.

It's just that when the ninjas were carrying out search tasks in this country, the beautiful scenery that was originally praised by people became mountains that lay before everyone's eyes.

Aida Masaki and Namikaze Minato were protected in the middle of the team, and the two remained vigilant about their surroundings.

Although River Country is a neutral country, there is no ninja village in the country.

However, because of its special geographical location of "going in to hide in the mountains and forests, and retreating to go to the sea", there are also many defected ninjas gathered in this country.

"The target we need to look for this time is an abnormal life energy vein."

"The locals call it the 'Grel Stone'."

"According to local legend, it is the relic of life energy left by the Aurechu Empire, which straddled the wind and river countries 150 years ago."

On the way, Orochimaru quickly described the corresponding task information for several people while advancing.

Due to confidentiality regulations, the specific requirements of missions above level A can only be informed to team members after arriving at the corresponding mission location.

This is one of the details left by Konoha from the war period.

"This information was passed on by Konoha's spies who stayed inside Shayin Village risking their lives. Remember to keep it secret after returning to the village."

Orochimaru calmly said: "According to the current time schedule, Sand Hidden Village should have been one step ahead of us, and began to explore the mine vein in the country of the river."

"Therefore, in order to prevent interference, during the mission, we need to kill all sand hidden ninjas who see us and show hostility towards us."

"Or limitless self-defense."

During the whole mission, Orochimaru was very responsible and serious.

He didn't say a few words with Aida Masaki from the beginning to the end, as if the two were just nodding acquaintances.

Well, that's exactly what happened.

As soon as the words were finished, Hinata Hinata with a serious face suddenly said: "At three o'clock, two kilometers, eight people! One Jōnin."

"Looking at the outlines of the surrounding buildings, it seems to be a small sentry camp."

"The location is in the valley in the middle of the three mountains. It should be an investigation team."

"Do you want to take a detour?"

Hearing this, all members of the team raised their spirits in unison.

The young genius Bai Yun, who was only 11 years old, looked even more tense in the morning, and subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Hinata and Hina pursed her lips slightly, and the veins on her temples stretched.

Here's the benefit of having a Hinata ninja on the team.

Under normal circumstances, even the Hyuga Separation ninjas affected by the caged bird seal technique have a white-eyed vision within a kilometer.

Among them, the best ones can see more than five kilometers.

It is said that Hyuga Hyuzu and Hyuga Yuna, who are geniuses of the Hyuga Clan, even have a terrifying sight distance of more than ten kilometers.

The poor perception brought by this vision is sometimes enough to change the direction of a war.

The tactical penetration, encirclement, and annihilation system around the Hinata ninja is the magic weapon for Konoha to win with one enemy and four in battle.

But also because of this, the price of a pure white eye has been fired to more than [-] million taels in the black market.

Even Aida Masaki couldn't help but look at Hinata Hinata one more time.

What amazing eyes.

Hinata Hinata seemed to notice something and nodded at him.

Hearing this, Orochimaru thought for a while, and said calmly:

"Unplug it."

"Mislead, then divert."

With just one order, there was no opposition from the entire team, and the speed at the feet was three points faster.

"Kenshiro! Seriously."

In the Shayin sentry camp, Crewe was wearing a dusty sandy vest with a turban on his head. When he cursed, his tone was very aggressive, as if he had taken gunpowder.

"Eh? Teacher Crewe."

The half-grown child called Kenshiro held a long tone and said dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter?"

"The war is over now anyway."

That ninja looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was squatting on the ground casually checking the seal of perception.

Like Masaki Aida, the vast majority of ordinary ninjas who don't have blood successors need to rely on these perception-based sealing techniques if they want to gain enough chakra perception.

"Only a fool like you would believe the nonsense that the war is over!"

"We are now performing an important task, which is the same as war!"

"So-so will die, don't you understand?" Crewe cursed angrily.

He is 40 years old, and he was born before the establishment of Hidden Sand Village. He has completely experienced two ninja wars, completed countless tasks, and experienced countless times of fighting between ninjas.

Crewe knew all too well what the so-called "peace agreement" was.

Kenshiro was still muttering, "It's not that serious."

"Bah, forget it if you're stupid."

Crewe frowned, but he was worried about the excavation process on the other side of the army.

According to Chiyo-sama, under this land, there is a mineral vein with extremely rich life energy.

If this energy can be applied around the village, it will even be enough to turn the deserted soil within a hundred kilometers into an oasis.

Oasis.
For a ninja born in the land of the wind, this is simply the most beautiful word.

But, there shouldn't be any surprises.

"Pfft."

While thinking, there was a dull sound of falling to the ground behind him.

"Kenshiro?!"

At the same time as he shouted these words, Crewe's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

A golden flash of light tore through the air like a thunderbolt, and traveled tens of meters out of thin air, drawing a fiery wind-breaking trajectory in midair.

It wasn't until he appeared at the position where Crewe had just stood that a young head flew into the air and fell to the ground. His body was lying on the sealing technique, blood gushing like a fountain.

In the hands of the young man with short golden hair, the trident-shaped quality Kunai had a sharp edge, spreading chakra rays as sharp as a gale.

"Enemy attack! Konoha ninja!"

"Send signal!"

It wasn't until he dodged the sudden blow like a storm that Crewe realized that a long knife had been split on his ninja vest.

If he was a step slower just now, it might be the result of the separation of his waist and body at this moment.

However, at the same moment he yelled, Konoha ninjas in other positions also attacked by coincidence.

For a moment, the tragic wailing sounded almost simultaneously.

The sand hidden ninja stationed at this post was killed in one go in less than three seconds.

In the end, there was not even a single person who sent a distress signal.

Just as Crewe took a deep breath and was about to leave the encirclement immediately, he caught a glimpse of a handsome young man with a sunny smile from the corner of his eye.

He turned sideways to himself, just casually drew out the saber, flashed it, and then slowly put the blade back into the sheath.

"You guy! Are you underestimating me!"

For some reason, Crewe, who was still able to keep his composure, seemed to be provoked by some kind of feeling, and his heart suddenly flew into a rage, and he took a step forward.

However, just as his left foot took a step, a slight smooth shift slowly appeared in his vision.

As if realizing something, his body froze in place abruptly.

The field of vision is still drifting unstoppably
At this moment, Crewe seemed to finally understand.

"It turned out that when I saw that knife light..."

'Am I already dead? '

Crewe thought in a daze, his field of vision finally plunged into darkness.

Standing in front of Crewe, Aida Masaki saw that this Jonin had completely fallen into his own illusion world, so he turned to Yamanaka Kai with a smile:

"It should be fine."

"Let's start the interrogation."

The few people who had cleaned up the mess noticed this weird scene and cast their gazes one after another.

——Sagano Shinobu, who barely escaped Namakaze Minakami's killing blow, stood there in a daze. There were no wounds on his body, but he closed his eyes silently as if he was dead, and lay down on the ground with his whole body stiff.

As if he thought he was dead.

Noticing this scene, the few people who didn't pay too much attention to Aida Masaki, the "special jounin" at the beginning, even looked like they saw a ghost.

Illusion, can it be so strong?

Kind of scary.
