Once the Shadow Clone learns Dream Butterfly and Cicada, along with those nine styles of Chiri-ryu Illusion Sword Art, it will begin to tackle these two S-rank Ninjutsu.
Yes, there are two: one is Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle and Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken. One deals single-target damage, and the other deals area-of-effect damage. How cool! The path to invincibility is right at my feet.
Just as Leng was reveling in his future unparalleled demeanor, Leng saw a signal flare rise into the sky from another part of the Ninja Academy.
Not knowing what had happened for now, Leng had no choice but to enlarge the field of vision of his Telescope Technique. This time, he finally saw what was happening in that direction.
On the street east of the Ninja Academy, four Konoha Anbu were pursuing a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes.
Upon closer inspection of his face, Leng seemed to have seen this man before. He appeared to be the owner of a clay sculpture shop and usually looked very amiable.
Now it seems he must be a spy, which also explains why there had always been a team of Anbu monitoring the area near his shop.
Konoha must have known his identity as a spy long ago and had been using him to transmit false intelligence, but now this spy had become aware of it.
Leng felt that Danzo's defection likely caused this spy to attempt to transmit this intelligence back to his Village, or perhaps he was planning to retire after completing his mission.
The reason he was being pursued now was either because the newly rotated Konoha Anbu monitoring him were inexperienced and were discovered, leading to his escape.
Or it was because he intended to return to his Village, leading Konoha Village to decide to directly liquidate him. Being a spy is indeed a tragic job.
This spy was heading straight for the Ninja Academy, seemingly intending to sacrifice himself for a cause.
The commotion of the signal flare alerted many surrounding Anbu and Ninja. Those with sufficient strength rushed to help.
The teachers of the Ninja Academy also noticed the situation and immediately prepared to lead the Ninja Academy Students towards the shelter beneath the Academy.
When Leng was in school, he had also participated in several escape drills. The underground area was a massive underground civil defense project.
Leng's teammates also quickly went to their pre-arranged meeting point, and Leng naturally followed to gather.
"Muddled Deer, tell me what you sensed," Purple Rhino asked with some solemnity, looking at Muddled Deer, who had finished his Sensory Ninjutsu.
"Hmm, there's an enemy Village spy escaping, with seven or eight Ninja pursuing him. Their direction of travel is towards the Ninja Academy."
Muddled Deer's Sensory Ninjutsu was quite good, but judging by the sweat on his forehead, he was probably struggling a bit.
"Purple Rhino, how should we arrange this? Should we ambush this spy on the way or intercept him directly?" Shadow Leopard's voice was cold, without any emotional fluctuation, as if he were just facing a small fry.
However, only Leng could sense that the spy's Chakra volume far exceeded hers, and even Purple Rhino was no match for this spy. It was estimated that even if these few people went together, they wouldn't be his opponent.
In the Ninja World, apart from a few anomalies, the amount of Chakra can still reflect a Ninja's strength. A large Chakra volume means that either their body or spirit is at least extraordinary.
"We are furthest from that spy. Other Anbu guarding the Ninja Academy will handle that. We will use the Transformation Jutsu and blend in with the Ninja Academy Students. This way, we can protect them and also act by surprise."
After Purple Rhino finished speaking, he immediately transformed into a six or seven-year-old boy with an ordinary face, but his expression and eyes were very well disguised.
Leng and Muddled Deer also quickly transformed into six or seven-year-old children. As for Leng, well, she didn't need Transformation Jutsu to disguise herself, but her Anbu equipment would be hard to explain.
So Leng still transformed into herself wearing a small dress, and then the four quickly blended in with the Ninja Academy Students evacuating from the training ground.
Each of them was a master of disguise, with expressions of panic and helplessness, flustered eyes, and chaotic breathing. Without Forbidden Technique, it would be impossible to find any flaws.
Since the training ground was the furthest from the civil defense project, Leng and his three teammates had no choice but to follow behind and protect these little brats.
The spy had now reached the wall of the Ninja Academy and noticed a team of Anbu blocking his path. They were an Anbu squad guarding the Ninja Academy, just like Leng's team.
Since they were very close, there was no time to set up traps. Now they could only stand ready to intercept this person.
Facing the pursuers and the intercepting Konoha Anbu, the spy showed no expression of despair. Instead, he continued towards the Ninja Academy without any hesitation.
"You're seeking death! Konoha Style: Dance of the Crescent Moon!" The Anbu Captain in charge created two Shadow Clones and then performed the famous Dance of the Crescent Moon, slashing towards the spy.
This sword strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless. Although the spy dodged the attacks of the two Shadow Clones, he could no longer avoid the Anbu Captain's final strike.
His body was directly cut diagonally. The feeling of the blade entering flesh made the Anbu Captain believe he had already dealt with him, so he began to turn and sheathe his sword.
However, there was no blood in the spy's shattered body; it was just a substitute made of a mass of white clay.
"Damn it, where did he hide?" The Anbu Captain drew his sword and looked around, but found nothing.
"Captain! Be careful!" He heard his teammate's shout, then turned to look at the broken clay clone, noticing that there seemed to be a flame on the clay body.
Then, he felt nothing at all. Facing the close-range explosion of the Explosive Clay, how could a flesh-and-blood body withstand it?
The Anbu Captain was directly blown into a blood mist. With the impact of the explosion, the few Ninja pursuing him were splattered with blood.
"Damn it! He's an Explosion Release Ninja, a dog from Iwagakure!"
The Anbu Captain who initially pursued this spy didn't expect to lose an Anbu Captain so quickly.
And at this moment, they still hadn't found the figure of this Iwagakure Explosion Release Ninja. Ahead was the Ninja Academy, which was simply terrible.
"Captain, that spy is rapidly approaching the Ninja Academy underground, aiming for the entrance to the underground shelter!"
The Sensory Ninja, pale-faced and sweating profusely, finally found the Iwagakure spy, but he felt it might already be too late.
"Damn it, hurry up and chase him! I hope the other Anbu squad has already arrived."
Leng noticed that this spy was actually using Explosive Clay. In an instant, she thought of 'Art is an Explosion' and 'Art is Patrick Star'.
Leng did not follow those little brats into the underground shelter. His unusual behavior was noticed by another child.
"Leng! Didn't you graduate? Why are you here?" Gekkō Hayate was a bit surprised, not expecting to see this girl again so soon, but in such a scenario.
"Oh, Hayate. You should hurry into the shelter. The attacker is an Iwagakure Explosion Release Ninja, and it's very dangerous."
Leng saw Gekkō Hayate with a strand of bangs hanging over his brow, but this was not the time for reminiscing, so she said nothing more.
