"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At an altitude of four thousand meters, Kenshi, who wanted to be the Homelander of the Naruto world, was controlling the Black Iron giant eagle to accelerate and fly away from the Land of Earth.
He couldn't help it. He didn't have the strength of the Homelander of the Naruto world yet. He couldn't do whatever he wanted. He had to keep a low profile for now.
Just wait.
In four years, if his Chakra growth went smoothly, he would have the capital to do whatever he wanted. He could be the Homelander.
Half an hour after Kenshi left.
A team of four Iwagakure ninjas arrived in the small town.
"This is... a child of the Tsuchihada clan!"
In front of the broken ruins, a young Iwagakure ninja, about twenty years old, turned over a piece of rubble. He saw a child's corpse, wearing a brown vest with the family crest of a circle and a square intersecting embroidered on the back. He was shocked.
The Tsuchihada clan was a major clan in Iwagakure. Their status was equivalent to the Hyuga clan among Konoha's three great clans. They held an important position in Iwagakure.
Every ninja from this clan was talented. They were skilled in the Explosion Release kekkei genkai and were the founders of Iwagakure's Explosion Corps. They firmly controlled this powerful force.
Now, a new generation of the Tsuchihada clan had been brutally killed on the land of the Land of Earth.
This was a big deal.
It was also a provocation to Iwagakure.
The young Iwagakure ninja was filled with anger.
"And..."
Following the trail of blood, he turned over another piece of rubble. Another corpse, with its heart pierced, was revealed. It was also an Iwagakure ninja, a genin who had just graduated from the ninja academy.
The young Iwagakure ninja's face was grim. He crouched down, reached out his hand, and turned over the back of the corpse. A white triangle flower pattern came into view. The white had been stained red.
"It's a child of the Santō clan!"
The young Iwagakure ninja recognized the pattern representing the clan. His face began to show fear.
The Santō clan was skilled in Earth Release sensing. Most of the entire Iwagakure's Sensing Corps came from the Santō clan.
The Santō clan, the Tsuchihada clan, and the Ōnoki clan were together known as the three great clans of Iwagakure. They were the foundation of Iwagakure.
Without these three great clans, Iwagakure would not have been established.
The ninja who could be the instructor for the new generation of genin from two of the three great clans must have a special status. Only... thinking that the powerful ninjas had all gone to the front lines, the young Iwagakure ninja had a bad feeling in his heart.
His bad feeling quickly became reality.
"Confirmed. The teacher leading these three children was the Third Tsuchikage's youngest daughter, Miss Haitsu."
The four Iwagakure ninjas stood in front of the three genin corpses that had been laid out. The captain, at the head of the team, said in a grim tone, revealing the identity of the three genin's teacher.
"It's really Miss Haitsu?"
The young Iwagakure ninja, although he had already anticipated it, still couldn't believe it when he heard it from the captain. It was Miss Haitsu, the Third Tsuchikage's favorite daughter!
Now... although they hadn't found Miss Haitsu's body, it didn't mean that her situation was any better than being dead.
After all... Miss Haitsu was a rare beauty.
The other two's faces were also grim.
The captain shook his head and said, "There's no mistake. I've already searched the memories of the man who posted the mission. It's confirmed to be Miss Haitsu."
Hearing this, the young Iwagakure ninja completely lost any hope. He said angrily, "Damn it, it must have been those bastards from the Cloud who took advantage of the fact that we're at war with Konoha and the other ninja villages and ambushed and kidnapped Miss Haitsu."
Iwagakure and the Cloud were mortal enemies. When faced with the Third Tsuchikage's daughter being kidnapped, they immediately thought that the Cloud had done it.
The other two also nodded angrily and said, "That's right. It must be the Cloud. Those guys actually invaded our Land of Earth and kidnapped Miss Haitsu. This is a declaration of war."
"We have to fight back."
"That's right. We have to fight back."
The young Iwagakure ninja and his other two companions were excited. They had been assigned to patrol the border, so they were already responsible for defending against Cloud ambushes.
Now, the Tsuchikage's daughter, Miss Haitsu, had been kidnapped by the Cloud. They couldn't escape their responsibility, so they were all very angry.
The Iwagakure captain was much calmer. He frowned and said, "It might not be the Cloud?"
"Who else could it be?" One of the team members said, "It couldn't be Konoha ninjas, could it?"
"It's not impossible." The Iwagakure captain pondered.
Through the Memory Exploration Technique, besides confirming Haitsu's identity, he had also obtained a vague memory from a shopkeeper who got up early.
It was a large bird flying high into the sky. Because it wasn't fully light yet, the color of the bird couldn't be seen clearly. He only saw a black outline, like an eagle.
There seemed to be someone standing on it, but then again, there didn't seem to be anyone.
The Iwagakure captain wasn't sure, but judging from the distance, the eagle-like bird was very large. It was clearly not a naturally bred eagle but rather a summoning beast.
There weren't many ninjas who summoned eagles. The Cloud and Konoha had both had such ninjas in the past.
Logically, the Cloud was the most likely.
But the Iwagakure captain thought about the intelligence he had recently received from the underground bounty office. He had a vague guess in his heart.
Unfortunately, his Memory Exploration Technique was a Chakra-spiritual type. The three genin children had been dead for a while. Their Chakra had long since dwindled, and their spirits had dissipated. He couldn't probe any memories.
He could only wait for the ANBU to come and receive them. They would have to go back and probe the three children's brains to find out who had killed them.
The enemy hadn't destroyed their heads. It shouldn't be the Cloud or Konoha. It could be that Kenshi.
The Iwagakure captain had a guess in his heart. Then, he said to the young Iwagakure ninja, "...Take care of the three children's bodies. Report what happened here to the Third Tsuchikage. Then, go to the contact point and wait for the ANBU to come and receive the bodies."
"The rest of you come with me. We're going to track the enemy."
The Iwagakure captain quickly gave his orders. After leaving the young Iwagakure ninja behind, he and his other two teammates chased after the direction where the eagle had flown.
The next morning.
On the outskirts of the Storm Sea, Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife flew out from inside, giving up the search for the Storm Sea. They were going to return to a small island near the Land of Earth to rest, then return to the inland areas of the Land of Frost and other small countries to check on Kenshi's whereabouts.
As the time approached dusk that day.
Sarutobi Ayase, who had come out of the Storm Sea, saw Kenshi in the sky eight kilometers ahead, through the eyes of the ink bird.
"It's Kenshi! He's appeared!"
The sudden surprise instantly revitalized the somewhat weary spirits of Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife.
Sarutobi Tenjū, who had been sitting cross-legged and resting, quickly got up and said to his wife, "Fly to the side quickly. Maintain a distance of at least seven kilometers from him."
Kenshi's sensing ability wasn't as far as the ink bird's vision, but he had a very detailed Chakra Sensing ability.
If they didn't change direction quickly, once he flew to their current location, he might sense the residual Chakra naturally emanating from their bodies, like last time.
"Understood."
Sarutobi Ayase immediately turned the ink bird to the right and flew backwards, moving away from Kenshi's flight path while maintaining a distance of at least seven kilometers to observe him.
After a while, Kenshi, sitting on the back of the Black Iron giant eagle, flew over the spot where Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife had been... at an altitude of three thousand meters.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Tenjū, flying seven kilometers to the left of Kenshi, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Kenshi was flying much higher than them. They didn't have to worry about their residual Chakra being sensed by him.
Noticing that Kenshi was flying at an altitude of four thousand meters, Sarutobi Ayase also adjusted her flying altitude from one thousand meters to four thousand meters. Then, she slightly reduced her speed and landed seven kilometers to the left of Kenshi, flying alongside him.
Kenshi, due to the limitations of his sensing distance, didn't realize that he had been targeted by Konoha ninjas once again.
This time, it could only be said that Kenshi was unlucky. The route he was returning on just happened to coincide with Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife's route.
