Chapter 87 Aburame's Witness
"I'll go up the mountain first to scout and confirm the intelligence before we formulate an action plan."
"Yes!"
The core of this operation is Chisuke, so Chisuke is the captain.
Elephant Head Mountain is shaped like an elephant's head.
One side of the hill is like the back of an elephant, with a relatively gentle slope, while the other side is like the drooping trunk of an elephant, with a very steep terrain.
Chisuke reached the foot of the steep mountain, found a flat meadow, and stopped in front of a large tree.
"Come out, this is the first time we've met."
Beside the big tree, a figure emerged from the mountain wall and landed on the ground.
"Chisuke, you are even darker than in a dream. If I hadn't heard your voice, I wouldn't have been able to find you. You must have some kind of talent."
Chisuke laughed and said, "Likewise, your blue eyes look like a ghost at night, but they're not a bloodline limit. It's really disappointing, Yamori."
Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Mi Shou couldn't help but shake his head.
"Kyosuke was so eager to cooperate with you a few days ago, but he ended up being assigned the mission of raiding the Land of Wind. You two have been stealing each other's bases."
Thinking of Kyosuke's irritable state in his dream, Chisuke couldn't help but laugh.
"He's in pain because he lost his chance to be a hero. But you came fast enough; all my efforts to buy you time weren't in vain."
Mimori, however, remembered something else and said seriously, "Kyosuke said there seem to be Uchiha clan ninjas here. If we have the chance, let's take the Sharingan. Kiichiro's preparations are almost complete, and we should need experimental subjects."
Chisuke shook his head helplessly: "We'll see. This is Konoha's home ground, we don't have any advantage, and the chances of success are not high."
After refining some details, the two separated. Mikami hid in the shadows, looking for an opportunity, while Chisuke began to climb along the cliff.
As they approached the summit, Chisuke stopped and began to wait.
According to Kyosuke's introduction, the commander here should be Ogawa Tomohiro, an elite Jonin who is skilled in Fire Release and Wind Release, and commands about five to seven squads of ninjas.
Of course, in order not to arouse suspicion, Kyosuke did not deliberately collect information about Elephant Head Mountain, so this information is all hearsay and may not be accurate.
However, Kyosuke still played a huge role, telling Sensuke about Konoha ninja's usual patrol methods, defensive formations, types of traps, and so on.
After waiting for a while, Sensuke felt that it was time for the Konoha ninja to change shifts, so he immediately created a shadow clone and went to the mountaintop to scout the situation.
"Luckily, we weren't spotted by the patrol!"
Mount Elephant Head is quite large. The shadow clone saw a palace on the mountain with many lights shining, and knew that it was the Konoha ninja's residence - the Golden Sword Hira Palace.
Carefully avoiding some traps, the shadow clone slowly approached the Golden Sword Hira Palace.
The deity enshrined at Kotohira-gu Shrine is "Konpira," so it must be quite popular. The shrine is very grand, with a thousand stone steps leading up to the pilgrimage site!
The shadow clone dared not walk on the stone steps, but instead followed the mountain path beside the steps to the outer wall of the palace. After confirming that there were no traps around, the shadow clone jumped onto the roof of the building and arrived at the innermost shrine.
Along the way, the shadow clones recorded the terrain, the number of Konoha ninjas, and the locations of the traps that had been discovered.
Inside the shrine, beneath a grotesque four-eyed, four-armed statue, Ogawa Tomohiro is meeting with an old friend, while his shadow clone listens from the rooftop, hoping to glean some new information.
"Hahaha, you still prefer to act alone after all these years. You're such a loner."
Hearing Ogawa Tomohiro's teasing, Aburame Shio calmly replied, "I prefer spending time with insects to people."
"If you don't change your personality, you'll probably have a hard time finding a wife."
"I'm already engaged."
"What?! A guy like you already has a fiancée? My God, this world is so unfair!"
Lying on the roof, the shadow clone listened for a long time but didn't hear any useful information, and couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"You two, there's no one else around, why are you so wary? Tell me about your missions."
It was almost dawn when the shadow clone deliberately dispelled the clone technique and disappeared. At the spot where he disappeared, several small insects hovered back and forth.
"There are enemies around. Give chase immediately!"
As soon as the shadow clone disappeared, Aburame Shiki immediately stood up and looked up at the ceiling with a serious expression.
"What is it? Who is it?!"
Ogawa Tomohiro was very surprised and became wary.
Aburame Shiki's voice was very serious: "I don't know who the enemy is, but the insects are very afraid of his chakra, so the enemy must be very strong!"
Ogawa Tomohiro snorted coldly: "Damn it, it must be Sand Ninja. Luckily you passed by today, or we would have been in danger! Where are the enemies? Let's go and take care of them! We can't let them destroy this place!"
"Don't worry, the insects have expanded their search area and should have some results soon."
Shiki Aburame was very confident in her ability to detect insects.
At this moment, Sensuke received information about the shadow clones and confirmed that there were no traps here. He then prepared to return to meet up with the Sand Ninja and discuss how to attack that night.
In the sky, inconspicuous insects flew around, silently following behind Chisuke.
After walking for a while, Chisuke frowned.
"I have this feeling that someone is watching me. Is it just my imagination? There's no one around. I've transmigrated into the world of Naruto, not a supernatural one."
This is the darkest hour before dawn.
Chisuke looked around but found nothing unusual. However, he was not going to let it go so easily.
"Only by being careful and cautious can one live a long and healthy life; Shadow Clone Technique!"
Chisuke created several shadow clones, which fled in different directions, hoping to dispel the vague unease in his heart.
Unbeknownst to him, behind each shadow clone, a swarm of insects swarmed.
These insects cannot distinguish between the shadow clone and the real body, but there are so many of them that they will track both the shadow clone and the real body.
Inside the temple, some insects flew in through the window. Aburame Shiki stretched out his hand, and the insects flew onto his hand, transforming into a string of symbols.
"The bugs have sent word: target detected! Let's go!"
"it is good!"
Ogawa Tomohiro left a team behind to guard the area, while he led the rest of the group in pursuit, preparing to eliminate this unknown threat as quickly as possible.
To reunite with the Sand Ninja, Sensuke needed to draw an arc around Mount Elephant Head, so Shiki and the others quickly intercepted him.
"Tch, I've been spotted. Hey, who was spying on me just now!"
Seeing the Konoha ninjas surrounding him, Sensuke wasn't too afraid, after all, there weren't any Sannin-level fighters here.
Ogawa Tomohiro didn't answer the question; instead, he pointed at Chisuke in shock, his voice trembling slightly.
"He is Chisuke Tasaka, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast. Wasn't he injured? What is he doing here!"
The Tailed Beasts are incredibly powerful. Upon hearing Ogawa Tomohiro's words, the Konoha ninjas all showed expressions of caution and even fear, except for Aburame Shiki, who remained calm.
