I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

Hoarding dirt requires patience.

To pull monsters, you also need to be patient.

The Kiri ninja who died in Konoha can vouch for him, he was a very patient person.

Dozens of minutes later, the figure of the foreign ninja reappeared in the shadows of the forest.

The foreign ninjas who went to attack the Kumo ninja returned.

Compared with when they set out, their numbers were much smaller, and most of them were injured.

But they brought good news.

The breached stronghold was the entrance and exit of the Poisonous Insect Road. This ancient road was finally found.

There's bad news, too.

There were more than a hundred Kumo ninjas in the stronghold. They didn't eat anything, so nearly half of the Kumo ninjas fled back.

After encountering the attack, the Kumo ninja were very decisive. They entered a state of evacuation from the beginning and did not fight for their lives.

Judging from this performance, the people Kumogakure placed in the stronghold were elites.

"Not bad, not bad." Listening to the reports of the returned ninja leaders, Uchiha Shingen was extremely satisfied, "They are all elites."

The ninja leaders who came to report fell silent, feeling very embarrassed.

I told my boss that I was beaten.

As a result, the boss praised the opponent as an elite.

Nothing feels right.

"Stop dawdling, let's go." Uchiha Shingen saw the demeanor of these people in his eyes, "Only the elite ones are worth fighting."

The foreign legion, which had spent too much time here, finally set off again, like a black tide, rushing toward the ancient road that could determine the course of the war between the two sides.

When a force of about 4,000 people is gathered together, it can still achieve considerable visual effects. Among these foreign ninjas, the most junior ones have been on the battlefield for more than a year, and their adaptability to the battlefield is very high. They are completely capable. Called ruthless bandits, when they gather together and no longer cover up their whereabouts, their aura is quite impressive.

The evil spirit they emitted caused the birds and beasts in the forest to flee.

Soon, the stronghold that the Kumo ninja had completely evacuated appeared in front of them. The foreign ninjas swarmed forward and quickly turned the camp upside down.

Due to limited capacity, most foreign ninjas are unable to enter the stronghold and can only stop outside the stronghold.

After all, the Cloud Ninjas retreated suddenly. They still left some things behind in the stronghold, including a small amount of armaments, food and medicine.

Maybe he was really in a hurry, but these supplies were well preserved.

It seems that they are really prepared to be chased by the enemy.

Foreign ninjas can also see this, but they are not afraid.

While the foreign ninjas were searching for loot, Uchiha Shingen stepped into the ancient road behind the stronghold that had not been visited for decades.

No matter the poisonous insect road or the seaside road, none of them are roads built by man.

The Seaside Road is a very narrow and elongated flat land. After the management of Lei and Shuang, it is now a livable area, but the Poisonous Insect Road is a winding river valley hidden deep in the mountains.

It couldn't be fixed at all, so it was abandoned.

But this place is actually a treasure house. According to records, hundreds of rare medicinal plants that are rarely seen on the mainland are widely distributed here.

Strange peaks and rocks appeared in front of Uchiha Shingen. When he walked into the deep valleys, he saw towering ancient trees, dense shade, and various green plants twisting and turning, either diagonally across the river valleys, or leaning against each other on the mountainside. , and some teetering on the stone cliff.

A flying bird flew through the forest. The large number of humans below made it afraid to let go. However, it still attracted a swarm of bees and insects to fly up, and the buzzing sound was endless. They are the origin of the name of this passage.

The Poisonous Insect Path is not just a passage that humans can pass through. It is a strange primitive forest with a wide variety of animals, all hidden in this complicated forest maze.

Uchiha Shingen turned his head and saw the foreign ninja leaders who had been saying "I'll kill anyone who stops me from getting rich" along the way, their eyes a little dodgy at this time.

These leaders really didn't expect that the rumored poisonous insect path would be like this.

Meeting Kumo Ninja in this place is like meeting on a narrow road, the brave one wins, there is no water at all.

Fighting here, one side is slightly familiar with this river valley, but to the other side, it is hell. Every plant and tree here can kill people.

"Are you afraid?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

The leader of Otongakure did not miss the flash of murderous intent in Uchiha Shingen's eyes.

Sound Ninja is very professional in this regard, because they have a boss who is unpredictable in mood and anger.

"Sir Shingen, please let us take the lead." Leader Otogakure stepped forward and volunteered.

The murderous intention in his heart dissipated, and Uchiha Shingen knew that he no longer needed to kill people to establish his authority.

To manage these mercenaries, the method is very simple: feed them with money and kill them immediately when they disobey.

After all, they both love money and bully others.

"Well, don't worry, I will also open the way with you." Uchiha Shingen said, "I will tell you how to get through here. Take out all the deworming medicines I asked you to prepare before. If you don't have enough, pick them up here and prepare them. Now, let’s go into the valley.”

Chapter 17: If you manage more people, you can be called a shadow?

The Foreign Legion faced a multiple-choice question.

Either go through this river valley, which looks beautiful but could kill you at any time, and then follow the boss to grab a good time.

Or the boss who is generous with his actions but even more generous with his murders will be used as fertilizer for the primeval forest in front of him.

They choose the former one.

And the boss seemed to know this river valley very well, which gave them some comfort.

According to Uchiha Shingen's requirements, the medicine was made and protection was taken before the foreign legion began to forcibly enter the river valley.

Within a few minutes of entering the river valley, surprises began to occur.

There was a section of cliff covered with green plants. It was unknown whether the root system of these overly vigorous vegetation had destroyed its structure. When a large number of ninjas passed under it, it suddenly became unstable and part of the rock wall collapsed.

Uchiha Shingen would still save him from this kind of danger.

The yellow sand rose up from the ground and turned into an umbrella shape, catching all the falling rocks above, allowing the foreign ninjas to pass through without any danger.

But this is just an appetizer.

For example, the giant centipede that will suddenly crawl out from the old tree next to it is not dangerous to ninjas. This thing is common even in the Konoha forest, and a kunai can kill it.

A typical example of looking good but showing no usefulness, and only looks deceptive.

But not all creatures are like this.

For example, in the world of Naruto, not counting the ones in Ryuji Cave that are fed by natural energy, they are also the largest among normal snakes. If a lower-level ninja is unprepared to be attacked by this thing, it will still kill someone.

The reason why missions such as destroying ferocious beasts are done by genin is because for genin, it is already considered a combat mission.

But the real danger is all kinds of poisonous insects.

If Uchiha Shingen had not studied this place specifically and prepared drugs that could deal with most of the common toxins here, the ninjas of the Foreign Legion would have died, instead of just suffering from continuous pain, dizziness and numbness.

But no one dares to voluntarily fall behind.

It's not that he's afraid of Uchiha Shingen, he's afraid of this forest.

In fact, they are right to think so. If someone wants to rest, Uchiha Shingen will never stop him. Anyway, he will not let the march of the corps stop.

Rest here, I'm afraid you won't be full after eating.

After entering the river valley for about ten miles, the first direct death inevitably appeared.

According to the level of combat power, he was a chuunin.

This level is enough to tread water.

But when he was passing through a seemingly unharmed area covered with leaves, he stepped in with a plop, and was dragged down by the creature inside before he could break free.

The frightened and angry ninjas used their escape skills to greet him, causing the murderer to reveal himself.

He didn't know anything about it at all, but the former chuunin only had half of his body left.

It was like a switch was turned on and victims started appearing.

In this environment, the hostility of these foreign ninjas was completely aroused.

Now that we have come to this point, no one will say anything about going back.

Besides, it's not like Uchiha Shingen did nothing.

For example, if there is an obvious poisonous insect nest, he will directly use Burning Escape and Add Earth Life to clear the way.

Seeing the creatures among them being roasted to death by the Burning Era, the eyes of the foreign ninjas were all full of pleasure and cruelty.

Once the Ten Fist Sword is swung, there will be no living things.

For Uchiha Shingen, even if he can protect himself in part of Susana's way, he hopes to get out of this forest as soon as possible.

For someone with trypophobia, this is an unbearable place.

Everyone put on the masks they had prepared early in the morning. The masks were not good enough because the gaps were too large, and they were afraid that bugs could fly in unimpeded.

In addition to using escape techniques to clear the way, Uchiha Shingen also used psychic techniques to get out his old friends from Ryūchi Cave for the first time in a long time.

The ninjas of Otongakure are no strangers to the snakes in Ryūchi Cave. When they saw those giant snakes that were not well-behaved in front of Orochimaru but obeyed Uchiha Shingen honestly and completely, their inner awe further intensified.

However, the enemies of the Foreign Legion were not these birds, beasts and insects from the beginning.

After traveling hundreds of miles, the surrounding environment began to change.

Traces of human cleaning began to appear.

Uchiha Shingen has already opened his Sharingan, and he will enter sage mode if necessary.

The curse seal and tailed beast chakra are not that big of a deal, they are not needed yet.

After all, Yunlei Gorge is not here.

Suddenly, a large amount of chakra reaction appeared in Uchiha Shingen's eyes.

Their "appearance" appears in the Sharingan.

It's the detonator.

Uchiha Shingen raised his hand to stop, and the ordering ninja next to him immediately conveyed the order.

Foreign ninjas still have the ability to give simple marching orders using the sounds of various birds and animals.

The Foreign Legion stopped, murderous intent spread, and everyone knew what this meant.

Uchiha Shingen turned to look at the ground. In the land, he actually saw the "mines" that were only found in Iwagakure Village.

These two old enemies are quite consistent when it comes to dealing with Konoha.

I don't know if they ever thought that they would be beaten into the village by Konoha this time. Uchiha Shingen's patience for many years has actually been worn out after the Ninja War broke out this time.

In fact, from the beginning, he didn't really approve of the bullshit Five Shadows.

Together with Senju Hashirama? Don’t even pee and take a photo of yourself!

Can you be called a shadow if you have more people in charge? How funny!

Uchiha Shingen squatted down and inserted his palms into the soil.

Thunder Escape·Earth Walk.

Blue light illuminated his face.

The land here is rich in water and minerals, which is a good medium for conducting mines.

An ordinary thunder escape technique used to sneak attack the enemy's lower three paths, when it fell into the hands of Uchiha Shingen, it created a different scenery.

The ground crackled, stones and soil continued to explode, and branches seemed to grow on the ground. It was because the Thunder Dungeon was overflowing and rushed out of the ground.

In the end, thunder and lightning were like waves, one after another, washing the land ahead. All the "landmines" were naturally destroyed, and they were no different from ordinary mud.

Uchiha Shingen stood up, wiped his hands, and once again confirmed the detonating talisman formation hidden in the forest through his Sharingan.

Wind Escape·Infinite Sand Breakthrough.

This is not a jutsu invented by Uchiha Shingen, but Gaara's jutsu.

It's just that Gaara needs Shukaku's power to perform this technique, so it's not that troublesome for Uchiha Shingen.

This technique is a combination of Sand Technique and Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.

The strong wind roared and rolled up the sand, creating a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun.
