Chapter 58 Can a Jinchūriki Just Come Out and Wander Around?
On June 19, at noon on the third day after Qianhe's team set out, they arrived at the outpost on the northern border of the Land of Fire. One of the jonin led a five-member chunin team to continue northward to the outpost of the Land of Field.
The so-called outpost is actually divided into two lines of defense.
The first is the outpost on the border of the Land of Fire, which is a rear outpost.
The real outpost is actually on the northeastern border of the Land of Field.
First, it is closer to Kumogakure, and second, once a small-scale war breaks out, it can also stop the war at the doorstep.
As for whether the Land of Field agrees?
To put it nicely, the Land of Field is an ally of the Land of Fire, and to put it bluntly, it is a vassal state.
Like the small countries such as the Land of Grass, the Land of Field can be destroyed at will by Konoha.
The reason for keeping these small countries is to leave a buffer zone.
The Land of Fire itself is surrounded by the four major countries. If these small countries are destroyed, the territory will directly border the other four countries, and there will be more friction and conflict at that time.
The Land of Fire itself is rich enough, and it is not worth the risk to destroy other countries to get this little profit.
Even in the Land of Rain, which is relatively powerful among small countries, during the Second Ninja World War, the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Sand, and Rock fought in the Hidden Rain Village.
The Hidden Rain Village was forced to declare war on the three major countries including Konoha, and finally ended with Konoha's advantage in the war.
The leader of the Hidden Rain Village, "Hanzo of the Salamander", who is called a demigod, can obviously kill Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, but still found an excuse to let them go, and gave them the title of "Three Ninjas" in the name of euphemism.
He can kill, but he dares not.
The declaration of war by the Hidden Rain Village is just to show its attitude. Don't put the battlefield in their country at will. This is the helplessness of small countries, surviving in the cracks of big countries.
Weak countries have no diplomacy.
It takes about a day to travel between the two outposts. Usually, the outposts communicate with each other through ninja eagles. Once there is no news for more than three days, the outpost in the northern border of the Land of Fire will immediately send two groups of people. The first group will go to the outpost on the border of the Land of Fields to investigate the news, and the second group will go directly back to the village to report the situation.
The outpost in the northeastern border of the Land of Fields is a hidden outpost, built underground, and composed of a ninja team that is good at earth escape ninjutsu.
The outpost in the northern border of the Land of Fire is an open outpost, and three watchtowers were built directly, forming a horn with each other.
Qianhe and others came to the attacked watchtower, and soon a ninja in a green vest came. His eyes were snow-white and his irises were light purple. He seemed to be a ninja from the Hyuga clan.
The north is the powerful Land of Thunder, so Konoha has deployed a ninja from the Hyuga branch family in each of the three watchtowers of the northern outpost.
He came in front of everyone and saluted Hizashi Hizashi: "Lord Hizashi."
"Qingkong, briefly explain the situation."
"Yes! About a week ago..."
This time, the Hidden Cloud Village seemed to have sent an elite team, bypassing the secret sentry and attacking the open sentry, killing the ninjas who were sent out to patrol one of the watchtowers. Three Chunins were killed and one Jonin escaped with injuries.
However, after being discovered by the Byakugan ninja, they immediately retreated and did not seem to have any intention of destroying the watchtower.
A watchtower is as high as 30 or 40 meters, and it also requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources to rebuild it.
Even the watchtower was not destroyed. It is obvious that the Hidden Cloud Village is still testing Konoha's attitude little by little.
"Well." After asking, Hizashi Hizashi did not say much, but looked at Kawashima Kaede.
Seeing this, Kawashima nodded to Hyuga Hizashi, and then said to the ninjas in front of him:
"Start redeploying now. From today onwards, the two teams will be merged for patrol missions. Two jonin will lead the team, and Mizunotsuki and I will support in secret to prevent anyone from attacking the patrol ninjas again."
Then, the ninjas acted according to Kawashima Kaede's orders.
Qianhe, Caiyin, Gekkou Gale, Itachi, Tianma, and Xinzi, the six genin, took out the materials they were responsible for transporting from the storage scrolls and counted them, and then handed them over to the chunin at the outpost.
Hyuga Hizashi had opened his Byakugan to observe the surroundings from the beginning.
In the evening, the ninjas began to patrol as usual, and Hyuga Hizashi always followed the six genin.
When it was completely dark, Kawashima Kaede, Mizunotsuki and the patrolling ninja team returned to the watchtower together.
The two guiding jonins and Hyuga Hizashi took the six genin to sleep on the floor of the middle floor of the watchtower.
The six Genin's blankets were in the middle, and the other three Jonin's were sleeping at the entrance of the stairs.
Qianhe was lying on the blanket and looking at the bright moon in the sky through the window. The moonlight was too bright, and he didn't feel sleepy, so he kept staring out the window.
"Qianhe." Caiyin, who was lying on the blanket next to him, tilted her head, looked at Qianhe's profile under the moonlight, and called him softly.
Qianhe looked at Caiyin, "Can't sleep?"
Caiyin nodded gently, looking at Qianhe in a trance.
Kawashima Feng sat up and said, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, the village is just to let you children who have caught up with the peacetime come out to see the world and experience it.
Being selected also proves that you are the elite among this class of Genin, which shows that the village values you."
"Humph, I'm not afraid! I will definitely become a Jonin and revitalize the family." Tianma next to Itachi shouted.
Then he looked at Itachi, only to see Itachi sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
Although everyone has different thoughts, the night is long and we can always fall asleep.
......
Early the next morning.
"Something's going on! Be careful!"
Six genin from Class 6 and Class 7 came to the watchtower. The two instructing jounin were just about to go out on patrol when they heard Hinata Hizashi reminding them.
I saw blue veins popping out of the corners of his eyes, and I don't know when he opened his Byakugan.
He protected Ayin behind him, and at the same time looked to the right with a solemn expression.
The moment Ayane was protected by Hinata Hizashi, she grabbed Qianhe's wrist and pulled him to her side.
Qian He didn't resist, and was pulled by her obediently, giving her a reassuring look.
At the same time, he held Ayane's hand with his backhand. As his chakra was released, two seconds later, a black pattern spell appeared on his palm, and then it was printed on Ayin's palm, and then disappeared.
Qianhe's current Flying Thunder God is not perfect yet. The spells he releases directly can only be used four times before disappearing, unlike the fourth generation Flying Thunder God spells that can be stored permanently as long as they are printed.
But four times is enough.
The only thing that Qian He didn't expect was that something really happened the day after he arrived.
Kawashima Kaede and Minazuki also reacted immediately and brought Itachi, Gekko Hayate, Gastrodia, and Shinko to Hinata Hizashi, while the two of them protected the outside.
"There's only one person in a radius of one kilometer, and he's going very fast, here he comes!"
Hinata Hizashi had just finished speaking.
I saw a person jumping out of the bushes about twenty meters ahead, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old to be precise.
However, as soon as the girl appeared, Hinata Hizashi's expression changed wildly, "Jinchūriki?"
Hinata Hizashi continued to observe the surroundings and determined that Yukito was the only one. However, it was precisely because of this that he was even more worried.
As a standard anime party member, Qianhe, the most outstanding beauty in Naruto, basically remembered that the girl in front of him looked very familiar. After thinking about it for a while, the words "Yukito" came to Qianhe's mind.
"I didn't expect to see people from Konoha while walking around." Yukito didn't panic at all when facing a group of ninjas, as if he was really out for a walk.
Qianhe was speechless: "Can a Jinchuriki just go out and walk around?"
