Chapter 13 Mind-blowing operation

inside the cave.

The village chief stood by the entrance of the cave with a slightly anxious expression, until he saw Lu Ning appearing from a distance, and he was relieved.

Lu Ning told them that he was going outside to help watch the wind, but he didn't come back for such a long time, he thought something happened, and he wanted to go out to find Lu Ning, but he didn't dare.

"Jiuhe, you're back, hey, this is on you..."

Seeing Lu Ning walking over, the village chief first breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw the wounds and blood on Lu Ning's body, and couldn't help being horrified.

Lu Ning made a slightly weak look, and said: "I met a few bandits and fought with them. Fortunately, I got the knife from you, the village chief."

There are not many ninjas in this world, more are ordinary people, and there are naturally many thieves in this war-torn era, and they may be encountered in the wilderness at any time.

Hearing Lu Ning's words, the village chief couldn't help but said in surprise: "Bandit? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a small injury."

Lu Ning waved at the village chief, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing that Lu Ning's complexion was fair and his speech was not too weak, the village chief couldn't help but gradually relieved, and sighed: "This is the way of the world, oh..."

"I went back to the village on the way."

Lu Ning said slowly to the village chief: "The village is occupied by people. I don't know if it's a ninja. I didn't dare to approach. It seems that we can't go back for the time being."

Hearing Lu Ning's words, the village chief also showed a dignified expression.

Although it is difficult to live in this cave, it is better than risking his life. He leaned on crutches and said in a deep voice: "If it is a ninja, it should leave soon, it is best to wait a little longer day."

With the approval of the village chief and Lu Ning, although there are many villagers who want to go back, but Lu Ning said 'you go ahead', and he withered.

No one dared to risk their lives.

After reassuring the villagers and confirming that they can still command them at will, Lu Ning came to the entrance of the cave, sat down in his own place, and thought about specific matters.

A ninja like Orochimaru, even if he hasn't grown to the peak yet, is just an elite jōnin, and he must never get too close. Lu Ning thinks that hundreds of meters may be in danger of being discovered.

but.

It is also because of the existence of Orochimaru, who possesses extremely strong sensitivity, that it is easier for him to make some guidance. Sprinkling a few drops of blood at a distance may lead to success.

"In the information you gave before, Orochimaru has the sense of smell of snakes? How far is the distance between me and him? Is it a safe distance?"

After a simple analysis of Nightmare Space, he said, "More than 500 meters."

"The weather in the Land of Rain is rainy all year round, and it is easy to wash away the smell. Unless it is a large amount of blood or a unique smell, it will not spread too far. Your idea is a bit unrealistic, and Orochimaru's own perception ability is also very strong. powerful."

Nightmare Space commented on Lu Ning's simple idea.

Lu Ning's eyebrows trembled, and he said: "I just thought about it casually, of course I know it won't be so easy, you make me very embarrassed."

Nightmare Space said: "You think you are the red-haired Shanks?"

"???"

Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes widened, what the hell?This nightmare space even knows the meme of "face fruit", it's fake!
"It's strange if you don't know."

Nightmare Space responded calmly: "The penetration rate of Nightmare Space to the real world reaches 90.00% at its highest point, which is basically close to complete control."

Lu Ning said mercilessly: "But now you don't even have one percent control over the real world."

Nightmare Dimension: "..."

……

The patter of rain fell on the muddy ground.

Under the canopy of a huge tree, a group of ninjas wearing Konoha Village's forehead guards were sitting on the ground. They cleaned up the ground and made some stones.

Some dry food was placed on the stone, and everyone was eating slowly, but no one spoke. The atmosphere of the team seemed to be the same as the weather, silent and depressing.

rustle!

At this time, a small snake swam from the muddy water in the distance.

The little snake swam straight to the black-haired, pale-faced figure at the edge of the line, and got into his trousers.

The ninja next to him saw the little snake and asked the man, "Master Oshemaru, did you find anything?"

"In that direction, there are corpses."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked in one direction. The little snake gave him very clear information about smell.

In the Land of Rain where the drizzle is continuous, both the smell of blood and the rotten smell of corpses will be washed away over time, and this time, judging from the smell, it should be a human corpse, and the death time did not exceed five days.

Hearing Orochimaru's words, the ninja's expression changed slightly.

"Let me go check it out."

"No, let's go together."

Orochimaru spoke calmly, but his tone gave off a chilling feeling.

A few days ago, Konoha's large army and Sand Hidden's large army encountered each other. After a big battle, Sand Hidden's large army was dispersed.

And the task of these people is to eliminate those scattered sand hidden ninjas!
"Yes."

The efficiency of the ninjas is surprisingly high, not to mention that the lowest in the room is the Chunin, no one raised any objections, they all finished eating in three or two bites, and stood up.

One of them formed a seal and released an earth escape ninjutsu to erase the traces.

A group of people turned into black shadows and ran under the rain.

soon.

Everyone came to a sparse jungle, Dashemaru took the lead into the jungle, and soon found three rotten corpses.

"It's the ninja of Sand Hidden."

There is almost no need for inspection, just by looking at the marks on the clothes and forehead, it can be judged that these three people are ninjas from Hidden Sand Village.

But at this moment, everyone showed a hint of surprise.

How could the sand hidden ninja die here?
"Did another team do it?"

The task of exterminating the scattered sand hidden ninjas is not only their team, but also the other two teams, but the search areas of the three teams do not overlap.

Orochimaru bent down, stared at the wounds of the three corpses carefully, then stood up, looked at the remaining battle marks on the surrounding trees, closed his eyes slightly, and added a few pictures in his mind.

"Killed by the same person."

Orochimaru opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

Only ninjas can kill ninjas. No matter how unexpected an ordinary person is, it is almost impossible to kill a ninja, not to mention there are three corpses here.

So the question is, who is this ninja, and why did you kill the ninja of Sand Hidden?
"Is it Iwakakushi's guy?"

The person next to him frowned and asked.

Orochimaru shook his head, and said: "If it's Yan Yin, he will definitely try to hide his traces, and he won't leave immediately after killing someone, and he won't even clean up the scene."

If it's not from Yan Yin or Konoha, then it's worth thinking about.

"Could it be someone from Yuyin?"

"It's possible."

Orochimaru nodded, then his eyes suddenly froze.

He just looked up at a tree in the distance, and then walked towards that tree, only to see an arrow carved out of that tree with a knife.

A few words were also written below the arrow.

There are sand ninja over there.

"..."

Orochimaru's expression froze.

The expressions of many Chunin also froze.

Everyone stared blankly at the sign on the tree, and three question marks popped up on their foreheads.

What the hell... what's going on? !

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, the atmosphere was indescribably weird for a while.

Even Orochimaru showed a weird expression, saying: "It seems that I was wrong, that guy didn't clean up the scene, but lured us here on purpose."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, the complexions of the many Chunin present changed slightly, and several of them almost immediately put on a defensive posture and looked around.

Since someone deliberately lured them here, there is likely to be a trap!

"There's no one around here."

Orochimaru was not overly vigilant, but shook his head. Before he entered the woods, he had released the little snake to explore, and there was no one in the thousand-meter radius.

He stared at the arrow, and the writing below.

"Master Orochimaru, what should we do?"

The faces of the Chunin next to him were strange, and someone couldn't help asking.

This is the first time for everyone to encounter such a situation, and there are arrows carved on the tree on purpose, obviously to lead them there? !

Only fools will go!
……

Five miles away from the woods.

close to the canyon.

Lu Ning was squatting behind a raised rock, constantly obtaining the traces and movements of Dashewan and his party from the nightmare space.

"How? Did they move?"

"Going to investigate in the direction you pointed."

Nightmare Dimension responded mechanically, but there was always an unspeakable weirdness in the words, because Lu Ning's operation really made it difficult to evaluate, and if he insisted on evaluating, he could only speak.

'Smart'!

Suffocating operation.

"I knew it."

A smile appeared on Lu Ning's face, and said: "There are three kinds of people in this world, idiots, ordinary people, and geniuses."

He leaned on the stone, looked up at the sky at a thirty-degree angle, and said slowly: "The Buddha said, in the first realm, you see mountains as mountains and water as water. This kind of person is a fool. In the second realm, you see Mountains are not mountains, water is not water, this is an ordinary person.”

"As for the third realm, whether you look at mountains or mountains, or water or water, of course it's a genius like Orochimaru, although it's still a little bit worse than me."

Nightmare Dimension: "..."

I just quietly watched you pretend.
