The sky was dim, dark red clouds covered the sky, turning the sunlight into blood red. The ground was a bare Gobi desert. From a distance, it looked like a huge piece of flesh and blood lying across the canyon.

This is Hell Valley.

The canyon is dozens of miles in radius, all blocked in a huge barrier. This is the unique illusion barrier of Uchiha. It cannot be broken from the inside, and those who approach the barrier will be shrouded in fog, thus losing consciousness. The light ones will be confused, and the heavy ones will become demented.

Relying on this barrier, Uchiha has suppressed the Blood Pond clan steadily for decades.

According to intelligence, the Uchiha team that was originally responsible for guarding the barrier lost contact inexplicably three months ago, and the team responsible for handing over the task has no news either. In other words, for three months, no one knows what happened here.

When Uchiha Zhili and his party arrived at the canyon, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The four seal barriers that had been maintained for decades disappeared.

This means that the Blood Pond Clan… escaped!

But strangely, several people also explored the Uchiha camp outside the barrier, and there was no sign of destruction. Except for the Uchiha clan members who disappeared, everything was normal.

“Logically speaking, we have locked them up for so long, and the first thing they should do after escaping should be to kill all the guards…” Uchiha Kirito frowned, “How could they hold back?”

“It is also possible that they only killed people and did not destroy the objects.” Jiraiya folded his hands and said coolly.

Orochimaru shook his head, “This is impossible. Although I don’t understand the methods of the Blood Pond Clan, it is normal for enemies to lose their minds when they meet. Who would have the mind to kill people without destroying objects?”

“I have checked the information. The Blood Pond Clan has a pupil technique called ‘Blood Dragon Eye’. They are good at controlling blood and cooperating with illusions to create human bombs. This kind of explosive fighting method is hard to leave no traces.” Tsunade touched her smooth chin.

Uchiha Nian remained silent. He was the youngest and the least experienced here, but he put his hands behind his back and pretended to be mature.

“I think the best plan now is to return to the village as soon as possible and report to the teacher about the escape of the Blood Pond Clan!” Tsunade gave a very rational suggestion.

“That…” Kirito hesitated, “I think we should confirm the specific situation first, and then go back to report. What if, I mean, the situation is not what we imagined?”

“What a joke? The barrier is gone, do we still need to investigate?” Jiraiya was the first to object, winking at Kirito, “Are you afraid that the Uchiha clan will be held accountable and want to delay time?”

Orochimaru put his hand on his shoulder, “Jiraiya, no one here will evade responsibility, don’t speak so harshly.”

At this time, Nen looked at Zhili, “Sister Zhili, we will listen to you on what to do.”

Zhili frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and exhaled lightly, “Everyone, follow me into the valley, and be sure not to leave my sight.”

“Ah? No way, what if there are still remnants in the valley, won’t we be trapped?” Jiraiya suspected that he had heard it wrong.

“You also said that they are remnants, we are not unable to deal with them.” Nian said softly: “Besides, I believe that sister Zhili will protect us.”

“That makes sense. Maybe staying outside will be more dangerous.” Tsunade lifted her hair and walked to Zhili.

“Well, if there is no one in the valley, then the escape of the Blood Pond will be settled. If there is someone, it is just right to explore the information.” Orochimaru nodded in agreement.

“Of course I will listen to my sister.” Kirito said.

So, everyone’s eyes were focused on Jiraiya.

“Ah…” Jiraiya covered his face and said with despair: “There is really no way.”

In this way, a group of people, led by Uchiha Zhili, stepped into the scope of the former barrier and walked into the canyon.

The air in the valley was heavy, and the faint smell of blood filled every corner. Just a slight whiff would make people feel physically uncomfortable. It was hard to imagine that the Blood Pond clan had lived here for decades.

There is a blood-red maple forest behind the mountain. Although the environmental conditions are average, there are still some wild game. Therefore, in addition to the self-sufficient valley fields, they also go hunting in the mountains for food.

After such a long time, they have already built a small settlement here. The houses are neat and tidy, and they are in line with the valley terrain, forming a simple street.

However, the street is empty at this moment, and it looks very desolate.

“I say, let’s go back. It has been confirmed that there is no one. This place looks so gloomy.” Jiraiya followed at the end on tiptoe. A gust of cold wind blew, and he shrank his neck.”Since we are here, let’s search around before we go.” Nian said.

“Hey, a little kid is braver than you, Jiraiya.” Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya with a slightly contemptuous tone.

“He just doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter!” Jiraiya argued, “I checked before coming here. The Blood Pond’s methods are quite cruel. Even ninjas can be easily fooled!”

“Compared to our understanding of the Blood Pond clan, we Uchiha should know more about it than anyone else.” Nian choked back lightly.

“I smell something.” Orochimaru suddenly said.

“Nonsense, a smell of rust, this is the smell of blood.” Jiraiya said dissatisfiedly.

“No, it smells like a conspiracy.” Orochimaru frowned, “The tribe members are missing, the barrier disappears, the timing is too weird.”

“What do you mean?”

“If they lost control of the Hell Valley three months ago, the Blood Pond tribe should have gone to the village to retaliate. At the very least, they should have heard about their appearance in the Ninja World. Given the extreme nature of this tribe, it is impossible for them to be willing to swallow their anger.”

Orochimaru touched his chin, “I have a bad guess. The barrier may disappear today!”

“Damn, don’t scare me. Why do I feel like it’s coming for us!” Jiraiya was shocked.

Chiri, who was walking in front, sighed softly. What Orochimaru thought of, she naturally thought of before entering the valley.

She thought that the tribe leader would dig a pit for herself, but she didn’t know how deep the pit was and how crazy the trap was.

If he really would rather let go of the Blood Pond tribe to consolidate his position, then this approach would be… too stupid.

What’s going on? Doesn’t he worry about being punished by the village?

Or does he have the confidence to face everything?

This chief was a very rational person before, but since he won the position of chief, he began to look down on others and become arrogant. He looked like he didn’t care about anything.

In his eyes…

Zhili bit his lip and remembered a clue that could not be ignored.

Every time someone won a death fight, he seemed to lose an eye, which became pale and empty without any light.

Is this a price? Or… some unknown secret technique?
