The remaining three chances were given to a fresh Sand Village Jonin's body.
However, it seemed Qifeng's luck had run out this time. Despite the 30% probability of a yellow zombie, he didn't succeed even once.
But he was used to such results.
"That's about it, I should head back."
Qifeng summoned Yakura's puppet, instructing it to guard this secret base while learning the "Puppet Compendium" obtained from Sasori. After leaving behind a Flying Thunder God seal, his main body departed.
The distance to the Yanshan Outpost wasn't far. Taking advantage of the night, Qifeng swiftly moved through the forest.
The Puppet Disciple within the Yanshan Outpost sensed his approach, found an excuse to slip out, and met with the main body.
"How was it?" The Puppet Disciple couldn't help but ask upon seeing him.
"Very fruitful," Qifeng waved his hand, appearing somewhat pleased with himself. He then asked, "Has anything special happened at the outpost?"
The puppet pondered slightly, then shook his head. "Putian and the other one sacrificed themselves. Sasori's first targets were those two. Danzo sent people to take over here, so we're no longer needed."
Putian and the other's sacrifice, although due to external factors—Sasori's unexpected appearance and his strength being beyond what Nara Shikaku and the others could withstand—
Regardless of the reason, Nara Shikaku and the other two as the team leaders, bore undeniable responsibility.
Danzo wouldn't miss this opportunity to suppress them.
So, although the three had been promoted to Jonin, this incident turned them into figureheads without real power.
Qifeng even suspected that this incident was orchestrated by Danzo, though he had no proof.
Moreover, it was impossible for Danzo to control Sasori, but there were three Sand Ninja corpses lying near Sasori at the time, which might be related to Danzo.
It was just a coincidence that Sasori killed them, and it also attracted Sasori.
"I understand, thank you for your hard work. Rest for now."
With that, he collected the puppet and headed towards the Yanshan Outpost.
Upon entering the outpost, he sensed the strange atmosphere permeating it.
Many Root ninja wearing masks stood there like wooden figures, ignoring his return.
"Qifeng."
Yamanaka Haiichi waved at him, and Qifeng jogged over.
"Why did you take so long to go to the bathroom?"
"I had a larger volume, unlike you, who goes every half hour," Qifeng replied calmly.
Yamanaka Haiichi: "......"
"What's the situation now?"
"What else could it be? Elder Danzo's orders are coming," Nara Shikaku said with a grim face.
Putian and the others were close to them, and they died in this attack. Now Danzo is going to take the opportunity to make things difficult. It's no wonder Nara Shikaku, who is carrying a mission, looks good.
He probably, like Qifeng, has some suspicions about Danzo regarding this attack.
"Orders? What does that mean? Where are we going this time?"
"Probably... we're leaving the Rain Country battlefield."
"Hmm?" Qifeng frowned.
"Just now, when you went out, some intelligence suddenly arrived," Nara Shikaku lowered his voice, "The Sand Ninja's camp in the Rain Country was attacked by a powerful Water Release user. Even the Sand Village's war weapon, the Tailed Beast, had to be released to force the strong person back."
"Uh..." Qifeng's eyes showed a slight embarrassment, and he lowered his head to touch his nose.
"Aren't you surprised?" Nara Shikaku looked at his expression.
"No, I am very surprised."
Qifeng showed a "shocked" expression, "It's just that your information... is a bit scary, I need to digest it."
Nara Shikaku didn't suspect anything.
He nodded, agreeing, "I was also very surprised when I first heard about it, because I couldn't think of anyone in the entire ninja world who could match the identity of this mysterious expert. It is said that the Sand Ninja already knows the name of this expert, but they haven't revealed it."
The Rain Country battlefield is full of ninja from both sides, and the Sand Ninja camp also caused quite a stir, so it's normal for Konoha to know.
But the name......
Qifeng just did it on a whim at the time, and didn't expect the Sand Ninja to take it seriously.
"So, what does this have to do with our orders?"
"Of course it's related. The severely injured Sand Ninja are now busy licking their wounds. Even if they recover, they won't pose any threat to us in a short time. So Danzo's idea is to send us to another battlefield to play a greater role," Nara Shikaku explained.
"What about the village's opinion?"
Will Hiruzen Sarutobi agree?
"The village agreed, so we are now waiting for the village's official orders."
"Agreed?" Qifeng was a little surprised.
In this way, the Konoha ninja troops on the Rain Country battlefield will really be completely controlled by Danzo, right?
Given him some time, Qifeng believes that with Danzo's methods, he can completely take it down.
Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi still agreed to this order, there is only one reason.
Konoha is not having a good time on another battlefield.
"Yes," Nara Shikaku nodded.
"Where?" Qifeng asked immediately.
"Hot Water Country."
"Cloud Ninja?"
"On the Cloud Ninja side, Lord Jiraiya is under great pressure. It is said that the Third Raikage of the Cloud Village has also gone to the battlefield. At the same time, the Cloud Ninja have also produced two powerful young ninja, one of whom seems to be the son of the Third Raikage."
This information is not confidential, so Nara Shikaku did not hide it from Qifeng.
After all, they are going to go together.
All the ninja stationed at the Yanshan Outpost are going.
