"Whoosh!" The chakra flow on his upper body and the horn disappeared instantly.
"For some reason, I can't directly open the portal through 'Kawaki's' wedge to reach him. It's as if there's an invisible obstacle. Did Konoha tamper with the wedge in some way?"
"Snap!" Jigen cracked his neck and laughed, "Fine, I'll go say hello to the two 'Kage' of 'Konoha' and take my unruly 'weapon' home~" (Attached image below)

Hehe, what do you all hope Cixian will achieve? Feel free to leave a comment and tell us, and also leave your requests for more updates!
Chapter 148 The Attack Under the Cover of Night
(The previous text about Kawaki searching for the support of the Dark One has been changed to the resonance generated by the Wind Wedge.)
At midnight on July 28, the night was dark and gloomy.
A dark shadow sped through the tropical rainforest under the cover of night.
Kawaki stared thoughtfully at the wedge-shaped lines spreading across his palm.
“In the past, I accidentally opened a ‘space gate’ using a wedge. After private training, I can now succeed once out of ten attempts.”
"But I don't know why, I can clearly sense the location of that person called 'Wind' through the wedge, and I can even feel him moving back and forth in a closed area like a living room."
"But no matter how many times I try, I can't open the portal to get to where he is."
"Is it because I'm not skilled enough at opening the portal, or is there something fishy about the location of the Hidden Ninja Village itself?"
"At this rate, it will take until at least dawn to get there."
Kawaki didn't notice that a black flying object, blending into the night, was following him at the same pace a hundred meters above the forest he was traveling through.
It was a scientific ninja tool, a [reconnaissance drone], a tool used by the Kara organization to gather intelligence from the outside world, much like the White Zetsu of Akatsuki.
This belongs to the front-end technology of the shell, which has not yet been deployed and used on a large scale.
It wasn't until after Kawaki's escape in the 'airship incident' that Kara deployed a limited number of reconnaissance drones throughout the ninja world.
The five great ninja villages are naturally the key targets of monitoring, but Amado does not dare to be so high-profile as to send drones directly into the airspace of the five great ninja villages. Instead, he patrols and conducts reconnaissance in the surrounding areas.
It was a coincidence, but also something destined... That's how the scene of Kawaki walking at night was captured!
Inside the Shell's base, 'Bagu,' responsible for monitoring the surveillance footage, was about to take a nap when he suddenly saw a figure being followed and photographed on the Fire Country's surveillance screen. (See attached image)
Bagu, the evergreen, is still alive in the latest storyline.
"What the hell is this thing? It looks like a big rat."
When he zoomed in on the image!
"My God, it's the artifact! We've found it!" He was wide awake and immediately contacted Amado in the inner formation.
Amado paused, the midnight snack he was about to put in his mouth. "Bago, are you sure it's a device?"
"I'll send you the footage! See for yourself!"
Amado, looking at the images projected onto the large screen, put down his chopsticks. "It really is..."
Bagu said, "Go and tell Cixian that the instrument has been found, and it's alone. Bringing it back will be a piece of cake."
This is too much of a coincidence... Amado's expression was somewhat strange and odd. "Too late. Jigen just left home and headed for Konoha. He has never worn a communication device, so we can't contact him."
Bagu: "Hmm... what about the weapon? It's obvious he'll come back empty-handed this time."
Amado stroked the stubble on his chin, deep in thought.
Why is Kawaki running around alone instead of seeking protection in Konoha? Could it be that he knew Konoha was about to face a great disaster and fled in advance?
It's not impossible, it's just...
Amado zoomed in on the drone's aerial footage, taking a close-up of Kawaki's face.
"Oh?" The eyes behind the orange-yellow glasses flickered. "This determined, resolute expression, this eagerness to achieve some goal, doesn't seem like someone running away."
That's really strange; this isn't the kind of expression you'd expect to see on Kawaki's face.
What exactly happened? And what is he planning to do?
Amado narrowed his eyes... Although it was an unexpected variable, it might be an unexpected assist for the actions that Guoxin Jushi and I were about to plan.
Regardless of whether it was the original timeline or this timeline, the 'airship incident' that led to Kawaki's escape was originally planned by Amado and Koshin Koji.
The two had long intended to break free from the control of 'One Style'.
They deliberately let Kawaki fall into Konoha's hands so that the Kara organization, which had been hiding for many years, would come into Konoha's sights, and that they could use Naruto and Sasuke's power to eliminate Isshiki.
Letting Kawaki escape is the first step.
Next, the second step is to kill off one by one the inner circle members who are loyal to the purpose of Kara and to the grand promise that Jigen made for everyone: 'to achieve immortality for each Kara member by borrowing the Chakra Fruit.'
Before Guoxin Jushi and Qing Zai Leiche made contact, they had already quietly eliminated Victor from the inner circle.
And then there's Boro and Dipa... they're both shells, loyal lackeys of Jigen.
Amado composed himself and asked, "Which inner formation is closest to the aerial photography position?"
Bagu said, "Hmm... it's Dipa! The location shows he's in a tavern in the Land of Mist! But he's probably already killed everyone in the tavern."
Amado said calmly, "Oh, it's the clown... He seems to enjoy drinking red wine and eating steak alone late at night. I'm going to have to disturb his enjoyment this time."
"Tell Deepa to track down the 'device'! But tell him not to act rashly. I'm very concerned about where the device is going."
"If the place he was going to, or any person associated with it, is related to the loss of the 'device,' then it would be like pulling up a radish and bringing out the mud along with it, wiping out the whole nest, and preventing similar incidents from happening again."
Amado was adept at shifting the blame; he had even come up with a reason for not bringing the artifact back directly.
“Hmm.” Baku hesitated, “Is this… alright? Deepa is known for his [warlike] nature. If he really gets into a fight with someone, he won’t hold back! What if he kills the weapon too? Jigen will be furious when he comes back!”
"That's true, isn't it?" Amado pondered for a moment, then looked behind him.
"Boro, to be on the safe side, you should come along too. On the one hand, it will keep Dipa in check, and on the other hand, it will be in case of any unexpected situations."
"Roar, me?" Boro was overjoyed. In the Kara organization, he had always been in charge of the 'cult', and had founded the so-called 'Otsutsuki Cult' to treat those suffering from serious illnesses in exchange for people's faith.
But in fact... he was the one who caused those seriously ill people to fall ill.
This was a task assigned to him by the organization, and he had no choice but to do it. He inherently disliked beating around the bush... What he really wanted to do was fight, to take pleasure in torturing his opponents, and to watch them struggle in vain before dying in begging for mercy!
He will feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Perhaps he is the one who is belligerent.
"Great! I couldn't be happier!"
Amado earnestly warned, "Boro, be careful. The ninja world is not peaceful lately, especially with the third-party force outside the Five Kage, Uchiha Chen."
"He also has the ability to manipulate space and time, making him quite elusive. It's not entirely impossible to encounter him."
"Understood." Boro agreed verbally, but his heart was already itching: Uchiha Chen, humph, he has already revealed his abilities in his battle with Ao. He is just a low-level existence who can only manipulate some machines and absorb ninjutsu.
The Rinnegan was practically wasted on him.
Actually, I can't wait to see him!
Deepa had always wanted Hashirama Senju's cells, but could not obtain them.
My interest is in 'eyes'! Sharingan, Rinnegan... Uchiha Chen has them all! I'll take him down and enjoy his eyes myself.
Haha... A good eye can only be effective on truly powerful people!
That's right, I'm talking about Lord Boluo!
"Whoosh!" Above Konoha, a dark spatial portal opened, and Jigen's figure descended from within...
Chapter 149 Jigen Arrives in Konoha
When Jigen landed, he didn't see the neatly arranged village below the Hokage Rock.
Instead, it was a construction site amidst ruins.
Construction vehicles bearing the logo of the Land of Fire Raimon Company are driving along a cleared, flat road, transporting building materials for the construction project.
After developing the Leimen vehicle, the company also expanded its related technologies horizontally, resulting in the creation of special vehicles for various purposes.
Relying on these advanced technology vehicles, Leimen Company has ventured into various industries and established a firm foothold.
After the Fire Country Daimyo Enichikyu approved the reconstruction of Konoha, he assigned the construction task to Raimon Kotori, the president of the Raimon Company.
This Raimon Eriku is a legendary figure. He had experience as a Konoha ninja in his early years. After the war, he resigned from his ninja identity, went into business, made a fortune, seized the opportunity, developed the Raimon, and soared to become one of the world's leading conglomerates.
Because he missed Konoha, he sent his son, Raimon Denki, to Konoha as one of the new generation of genin, and he joined Team 5 of Ise Udon along with Metal Lee and Iwabe Yuuno.
At this construction site, workers wearing safety helmets and work clothes can be seen everywhere, working on the site.
Cixian walked forward and stopped in front of a newly paved cement road with a "No Entry" sign.
After he went around it, he continued walking on the dirt road that hadn't been cleared yet, looking around.
"Did I come to the wrong place? The spatial coordinates of Konoha should be around this area. It seems that something has happened to Konoha, which has turned it into this state."
Not far away, on a flat dirt road, an engineering vehicle was unloading steel.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the cable binding the steel snapped, and the steel pillars scattered irregularly, one of them crashing down squarely onto the worker in front of the vehicle.
"Ahhh!" The worker was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as a steel pillar, taller and thicker than a person, crashed down on him!
It's over, dead.
Just as he closed his eyes and awaited death, a hand reached out and steadily caught one end of the steel pillar!
"Clang!" The other end struck the ground, creating a crater the size of a head.
The worker opened his eyes, still shaken, and looked at the man beside him who had a braid and was dressed as a monk.
"You, you are..."
"Are you alright?" Cixian bent down and gently placed the steel pillar aside, reaching out to ask with concern.
"No, it's nothing, just a false alarm!" The worker gripped his hand tightly, tears of gratitude streaming down his face. "Thanks to you for saving my life! I'm the breadwinner of my family! My whole family depends on me to support them!"
"If it weren't for you, I would have... I would have... Oh, how can I ever repay you!"
"It's nothing, just a small favor. If you don't mind, may I ask you a few questions?" Cixian asked politely and amicably.
"Please speak! Please speak!"
"Excuse me, was Konoha Village originally located here?"
"Yes! This is Konoha Village! They say it was attacked and completely destroyed!"
"Really? Who did it?"
"I really don't know! We ordinary people only care about making a living and doing our jobs well. We don't care about these ninjas spewing water and fire and fighting each other!"
"I see. Do you know where the Konoha ninjas are?"
The worker scrutinized the person in front of him: "May I ask who you are? Ah, I don't mean anything by it, but I don't think you're from this construction site, nor do you seem like someone sent by higher-ups to supervise the work."
Jigen slowly and deliberately said, "It's like this. I am a monk from a nearby temple. My relative's child is staying in Konoha Village for some reason. It's about time for him to leave. If he stays here any longer, he will only cause trouble for others. I've come here specifically to take him back."
So that's how it is... The worker thought: The president originally forbade us from revealing to anyone the current location of Konoha's settlement.
However, this person doesn't seem like a bad person at all.
"Oh, I see. You're going to take your relative's child back home. It's alright to tell you then."
After looking around for a moment, the worker gestured for Cixian to come closer.
Cixian stepped forward, bowing his head obediently.
The worker whispered in Cixian's ear, "Thirty kilometers to the north, on Xiangyang Mountain, there is a Konoha orphanage that is being used as a temporary shelter. Konoha ninjas are all taking refuge there."
"Also, this is something we were told to keep secret, so don't tell anyone else."
"Okay, thank you." Before leaving, Cixian gave a warm reminder: "When you deal with these steel objects in the future, remember to wear a safety helmet. You are the pillar of the family, so you must always be careful to protect yourself."
"Ah, thank you... thank you so much." The worker watched his departing figure, his eyes slightly moist: What a kind person he is. I hope his relative's child wasn't caught up in the attack on Konoha.
Just then, the foreman's impatient voice came through the earpiece: "Agen, what are you dawdling for! Hurry up and move the steel over! If you delay the construction, President Raimon will blame me!"
"Ah, here it comes..."
The noise behind us gradually faded away.
Cixian soared into the air, looking back at the ruins, a deep light shining in his eyes.
