Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 139

According to the intelligence, Morino Yuuki does not have the Earth Release skill; she is a Water Release type ninja.

Moreover, he was just an ordinary Konoha Chunin, whose ninjutsu level and chakra quantity did not reach the level of Special Jonin or even Jonin.

Therefore, based on their impressions of factors such as the duration of Chunin transformation techniques, escape traces, and the number of ninjutsu used, the three came to a conclusion.

"There must be a problem with the intelligence."

"Besides, the fact that they were able to easily escape Konoha's barrier and evade the Anbu's pursuit means they must have had someone's assistance."

"That person must be from the village."

As Yuuki Ryuuki bit his fingertip, pondering who was manipulating the village ninjas, Shimura Yuko patted Ryuuki's shoulder and pointed in a direction: "Look over there."

Yuko Shimura was pointing to a corner of the street.

Upon seeing this, Xi Ri Liu Yun's pupils contracted slightly. He quickly walked over, picked up a handful of soil, and smelled it.

"The smell of chakra."

"?" Yuko Shimura looked blank, then picked up the soil. "I can't smell anything."

"I can't smell it either."

"???"

"You're still joking with me at a time like this!" Yuko Shimura said irritably, throwing the dirt on the ground.

Xi Ri Liu Yun placed his hand inside the muddy ground, his fingers quickly reaching the bottom through the soft soil and depressions. He lifted his hand and said, "The intelligence is wrong."

"The other party is very likely an Earth Release ninja."

"This is a C-rank Earth Release technique, Earth Release: Submarine Diving!"

"Furthermore, such undetectable traces of Earth Release can only be used by those who have developed the nature transformation of Earth Release chakra..." Yuhi Ryuun made a Jonin-level analysis. After all, the soil around the wall could not be soft. The only possibility is that someone used ninjutsu here, and the location is very well hidden. "I suspect that Morino Yuuki was subjected to human experiments, which allowed her to develop Earth Release nature from only having the talent of Water Release chakra."

"And coincidentally, there was a possibility that someone in the village could help him escape... that person was."

"A candidate with strong experimental skills and an important position in the village?" Shimura Yuko stroked her chin and glanced at Yuhi Ryuun, whose face was grave. "You probably guessed it."

"Ah."

"That person is very likely an experimental subject who came into contact with the corpse of a ninja skilled in Earth Release ninjutsu... Let's report this to the Hokage later; we can't make wild guesses."

Yuri Ryuun knew who it was, but that person had earned a renowned title in the ninja world during World War II and was very popular in the village, so he could only keep these thoughts to himself. "First, inform Kumogami, we'll head south to pursue them!"

"Ok!"

......

“Hoo, ho, ho—”

"No way."

"We need to change direction again."

Let's leave the country of rice fields first.

"It might be safer there."

Morino Yuzuki believed that as long as he could leave the country, the three Jonin behind him would not be able to continue chasing him.

Furthermore, the map Orochimaru gave him showed three routes, one of which was a route that bypassed the border garrison and led to the Land of Rice Fields.

"Morino Yuzuki!"

"You have nowhere to run!!"

"Come back with us now, and maybe the village will treat you leniently!"

In the woods, Shiranui Yunjian stepped on a tree trunk, leaped into the air, and spoke forward.

"I will not go back with you!"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang!

"Disperse!"

"Yeah!" x2

"What?! This guy can actually use Shadow Clone Jutsu, a physical clone technique?! How did he do that?" Yuko Shimura saw the three directions the shadow clones fled in and quickly chased after them, saying to her teammates, "One each!"

"Yeah!" x2

After the shadow clones left, Morino Yuzuki crawled out from the muddy ground littered with fallen leaves. "Thank goodness. I've always practiced the Shadow Clone Technique; each clone should be enough to buy me two or three minutes."

The shadow clone doesn't have much chakra, because he himself doesn't have much chakra left either.

By the time the three realized they were all shadow clones, Morino Yuzuki had already left the place and found a secluded cave to hide in. After recovering, she would find an opportunity to leave the country.

All traces on the road were also removed one by one.

Furthermore, this way, the pursuing team wouldn't know which direction he would escape in...

Just as Morino Yuzuki had thought, Yuhi Ryuun's team, having lost track of Morino Yuzuki, went to many different places and encountered the Konoha team, but received no news. They had no choice but to accept the mission failure and return to the village.

the other side.

The Sand Village team officially arrived at the ancient kingdom of Loulan and began their secret mission.

Chapter 119 Who gave you permission to move?

Karura: "So big, so tall! A building of this size, and it actually exists in the Land of Wind..."

Yekura: "It's a pity the place is too small; the entire city isn't even a third the size of Sunagakure..."

Luo Sha: "Even so, it cannot be denied that the Queen of Loulan was indeed quite capable. She was able to manage a small country like this."

Inside the ancient Loulan Kingdom, three people stood in a neat row, walking forward, each offering their own suggestions.

Didn't go long.

The three of them soon arrived at the inner city gate of the ancient Loulan Kingdom: after Bai Xing's suggestion to modify it, the inner city wall was connected to the dragon vein chakra, and anyone entering from above would sense it.

"Inside lies the strategically important Loulan territory."

"No outsiders allowed!"

The two guards at the city gate raised their spears, aiming them at the three men in front of them, their eyes sharp as hawks.

"Don't misunderstand, we Sunagakure ninjas simply wish to meet with Her Majesty the Queen to discuss some cooperation regarding Sunagakure."

"Ninjas?" One of the guards glanced at the three men's attire and noticed their headbands with a slender rectangular shape and a funnel pattern. He then began to discuss the matter with the guard next to him.

"Alright! You all wait here for a moment! I'll go report to the Queen!"

"Thank you for your trouble," Luo Sha said.

As one of the guards departed, Rasa, arms crossed, began his operation. He appeared to be surveying the city's towering structures, but in reality, tiny grains of sand were being carried into the city...

"Chakra. Magnet Release chakra, no less. An intruder?"

Shirahoshi's laboratory was connected to a sensing device in the wall barrier: a device with a small, semi-circular chakra sphere on it.

At this moment, the chakra sphere rippled, indicating that someone had used chakra to enter the inner city area.

Furthermore, only ninjas with sensory abilities can connect to the device to view the specific movement, structure, and other information of that chakra.

Personnel like those from the inner city guard would only sound an alarm the moment a wave appeared.

Wuwuwu——

The alarm broadcast sounded in the inner city, and many Loulan residents rushed to the shelter upon hearing the sound, seemingly quite familiar with the route.

Rasa, Yokura, and Karura all felt something was amiss when they heard this voice.

Soon, all the soldiers belonging to Loulan gathered at the main entrance.

Then, a woman whose beauty was no less than Sarah's emerged from within, clad in ornate light armor and with a longsword at her waist.

"Intruder!"

"What is the purpose of your ninjutsu? Are you trying to declare war on our ancient Loulan Kingdom?!"

"Captain Mako!!" xN

—When Shirahoshi was selecting guards, she found that Mako had a good appearance and talent, so she made her one of the captains of the guard knight team.

"Damn it, have we been discovered?" Rasa never expected that his 'Eye of Sand' ninjutsu would be discovered by the people of Loulan.

“We have no hostility,” Karura quickly explained. “Our captain just accidentally used a ninjutsu. We absolutely did not intend to be enemies with your country.”

"Troublemaker," Ye Cang muttered under his breath.

Karura's words deeply moved Rasa, but after hearing Yekura's low grumbling, he harbored a deep resentment towards Yekura's face: One day, I will make sure you never speak again!

"Unintentional? Ninjutsu can be unintentional. Do you think we're just ordinary people who don't understand ninjutsu?" Mako said, pressing down on his knight's sword.

"The use of ninjutsu within the inner city gives us reason to suspect that you intend to assassinate our Queen!"

"Take it!"

"Yes!"xN

"Stop!" Garuro raised his hand, manipulating the surrounding sand as he looked around.

After all the guards were frightened by the ninjutsu, Karura chuckled to himself and then stopped using the ninjutsu.

Of course, her ninjutsu is only similar to receiving the blessing power of sand, so she can manipulate sand; it is not actually Magnet Release.

It can be seen as the kind of contract that Tobirama Senju made with the sea.

"You're no ordinary ninja." Although Mako hadn't seen many ninjas, the training manuals of Loulan stated that ordinary ninjas needed to use hand seals to perform ninjutsu; those who didn't were most likely...

"A ninja who can use the power of blood in the Land of Wind. Considering your age, you must be at least a Jonin."

"You flatter me. I am Karura of the Sand Village, a Jonin of the Sand Village," Karura said with a smile.

"Oh~" Mako had never heard of 'Suna Karura', but that didn't stop her from pretending to know. "But that's not something you can do..."

"Alright. You can all leave now. I'll take care of things here."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Mako and all the soldiers responded in unison, "Yes! Almighty Lord!"

"All-powerful?" Luo Sha repeated, thinking to himself that it was a code name he had never heard of before.
