Chapter 257 Three Months
The location where Kaito launched the flare was not far from the front-line camp.
Soon, dozens of Kirigakure ninjas arrived first.
However, the Kirigakure Ninjas originally thought that there was a large invasion of enemies and that they might face a difficult battle, so they were somewhat excited.
After arriving, all they saw was a huge round block of ice frozen on the sea, two human-shaped ice sculptures in weird postures, and a poor guy lying unconscious on the ground with bored Blue piling sand on him.
Oh, and there is also Kaito who is standing there with one hand in his pocket, acting cool.
"Jōnin Mirukawa, what's going on here?"
Seeing the person coming, Kaito had nothing to hide and spoke directly.
"I found several disguised infiltrators suspected to be from Kumogakure here. I have captured them. Is everything going well at the camp?"
Although he didn't react for a moment to why Kaito asked this, the leading ninja still answered honestly.
"There is nothing unusual in the camp. Ao-sama sent us here to investigate the situation after seeing the signal flare."
Kaito nodded upon hearing this.
It seems that even if there are other ninjas who have sneaked onto the Land of Whirlpool, their number should not be too large. Otherwise, they would know they have been exposed when they saw the signal flare and would probably launch an attack immediately.
"Okay, then I'll go back and report the situation to the commander, and you guys will take these guys back."
After saying that, Kaito directly cancelled Blue's Summoning jutsu, and before anyone could react, he disappeared in a flash.
Only the Kirigakure ninjas, who were originally full of enthusiasm and wanted to have a big fight, were left looking at the six prisoners and looking at each other in bewilderment.
After returning to the camp, Kaito briefly explained to Ao about the discovery of the intruder, and did not ask any more questions.
It's better to leave this kind of thing to the people above to deal with.
Kaito was still prepared to continue going out according to the original plan.
After all, even if he stays in the camp honestly, there are no missions to do on the front line, and the work of the Flying Unit is also a lot. The time for practicing and developing ninjutsu may not be as good as going out for free activities, and by the way, he can also trigger some new achievements.
The next morning, after greeting Ao, Kaito prepared to leave the camp with a new mission scroll.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the camp, he was stopped by the elder of the Yuki Clan who had come to negotiate earlier.
"What's going on, Elder Raibu?"
"The clan leader asked me to come and give you the agreed jutsu."
Kaito casually took the scroll handed to him by the other party, but he was thinking about other things.
'Patriarch? Yuki Hiro hasn't stepped down as the patriarch yet? That's interesting.'
However, these have nothing to do with him, so Kaito directly prepared to open the scroll in his hand to see what kind of ninjutsu the Yuki Clan had given him.
But his action was immediately stopped by Yuki Raibu.
"Mirukawa-san, this is just a sealed scroll. I suggest you don't open it here."
"Haha, it seems that the Yuki Clan is quite sincere?"
Kaito had no reason to be stubborn, so he stuffed the scroll into his arms, nodded, and walked straight out of the camp gate.
However, after leaving the Land of Whirlpool, Kaito first found a hidden place and opened the scroll to examine it.
It's not that Kaito doesn't know that it would be more convenient to open the sealed scroll directly in the "secret space".
But he should always be on guard against others.
What if the Yuki Clan still persists in their bad habits and seals some strange things in the scroll? It would be convenient for him to deal with them by removing the seal from outside.
However, it was obvious that Kaito was worrying too much.
A burst of white smoke exploded, and more than a dozen ninjutsu scrolls were neatly stacked on the ground.
Pick up a few scrolls at random and examine them.
'Ice Style: Icicle Swallow'
'Ice Style: Ice Wall'
'Ice Style: Ice Clone'
'Ice Style: Ice Blade'
...
"My goodness, the Yuki Clan really spent a lot of money this time!"
With so many ice-style ninjutsu existing, ice-style ninjutsu has suddenly become the ninjutsu that Kaito has mastered the most.
However, it cannot be said that he has mastered it yet. After all, unlike the system lottery, these ninjutsu still need to be learned one by one by Kaito himself.
Moreover, many of the ninjutsu can only be used to enrich Kaito's knowledge of Ice Style.
In the end, he will only choose a few more practical core ninjutsu to learn.
"Sign, it looks like we will be busy on the rest of the journey."
...
The Land of Fire battlefield.
Kannabi Bridge.
The ancient kingdom of Roran.
The land of Grass.
The Land of Rain.
...
In three months, Kaito almost traveled across most of the ninja world.
Even in the last two months, Kaito never returned to the front-line camp once, and he relied entirely on Ao to support him.
Until once again, as agreed, he lifted the summoning every day to exchange information with Ao.
"Is this an important mission issued by the village? Looks like we have to go back!"
Kaito straightened the bone mask on his face and muttered to himself.
Rainwater flowed down the grooves on both sides of the mask.
"Hey, Kaito. What are you doing there? Come over here and help."
In the distance, an orange-haired young man with a hearty smile shouted loudly. Even the rainy weather could not conceal his cheerful and sunny temperament.
The orange-haired young man walked towards Kaito carrying a huge wooden beam, and stretched out his hand as if to pull up Kaito who was sitting on the stone.
"Yahiko, I have to leave."
"Ah----?"
The orange-haired young man in front of him was none other than Yahiko, the leader of the first Akatsuki organization and a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin.
However, after hearing Kaito say that he was leaving, Yahiko did not have the calmness of a leader at all. He threw the huge wooden beam directly to the ground, splashing a lot of water, and opened his mouth as wide as possible, constantly shouting in surprise.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Several ninjas wearing black robes and Amegakure forehead protectors heard Yahiko's call and hurried over.
Seeing that Yahiko was still dumbfounded, Kaito had to explain himself.
"Nothing, I just told Yahiko that I was leaving."
"Ah——?" xN
Okay, now there are even more people staring in amazement.
Kaito looked at these with a dark face.
They looked like they came out of a comedy cartoon and he was powerless to complain.
Fortunately, at this time, a blue-haired girl came out from behind and looked at Kaito with a worried look on her face.
"Kaito, are you really leaving? Why?"
The person who spoke was Konan, another disciple of Jiraiya.
Kaito just shrugged when he heard this.
"I've said this before I joined Akatsuki. I'm not a ninja from the Land of Rain. I joined you recently only because I appreciate your philosophy."
"But I still have my own identity, and now is the time to return."
