Moon Viewing Arc activated!
The host has one revival chance per month. After death, they will revive on the previous full moon night.
Reward: One lottery chance:
1 - Fire Release Chakra;
2 - Chunin-level Chakra (stackable);
3 - Body Flicker Technique (Initiate).
Fire Release Chakra was a bit of a filler, disliked by others, and directly skipped.
However, the second and third options left Night Light in a dilemma.
If he chose Chunin-level Chakra, it would instantly solve the problem of insufficient Chakra, allowing him to use Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique to stealth for longer and move faster.
However, the last option was equally tempting.
The Body Flicker Technique, the fast-moving Body Flicker Technique that the Brown Bear Squad Leader had used.
Comparing the two, Night Light chose the Body Flicker Technique (Initiate). He would find a way to deal with the Chakra problem later.
First, solve the problem of existence, then solve the problem of quality.
In an instant, Night Light learned the Body Flicker Technique.
By concentrating Chakra in his calves and ankles, and stimulating cells, his muscle strength and Chakra power would instantly erupt, allowing him to move quickly by pushing off the ground.
The key to the technique was to keep Chakra in the foot and calf meridians, stimulating certain corresponding muscles.
Bending down to carry the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader, Night Light continued on his way.
This time, he trained the Body Flicker Technique while traveling.
The Cloud Ninja on his shoulder was very surprised; how did the Leaf Ninja suddenly become faster?
The Brown Bear Squad Leader was still greatly surprised when he saw Night Light complete the mission.
Night Light said, "Squad Leader, I found several Vortex Ninja on my way back, and they have sealing scrolls. I request to go seize that sealing scroll."
He had to leave now, otherwise, if the alliance between the Cloud Ninja and Kirigakure was interrogated tonight, he wouldn't be able to leave.
The Brown Bear Squad Leader said, "Alright, then go seize the sealing scroll."
After leaving the beach where the squad was located, Night Light quickly rushed forward using the Body Flicker Technique.
The feeling of the Body Flicker Technique was truly excellent.
Stepping on the ground, the Chakra in his foot instantly erupted, propelling his body several meters into the air.
The wind brushed past his ears, whistling backward.
After searching several lakes, Night Light finally found a juvenile Spear Egret.
This Egret was very fast, and its beak was sharp and long.
Following the Spear Egret to a lakeside, Night Light saw a giant Spear Egret.
The Spear Egret was circling by the lake and spotted Night Light.
Its eyes sharpened, and it suddenly swooped down, charging towards Night Light.
Its beak, over a meter long, gleamed with a bronze metallic luster like a javelin.
"Stop! Don't act recklessly!"
Vortex Yuka's voice rang out.
The diving Spear Egret pulled up its height again.
Vortex Yuka stood with her hands on her hips in the distance, her pretty face showing a hint of pride: "Fox, how's my new summoning beast?"
Night Light looked at the Spear Egret's beak with lingering fear. The speed of this summoning beast was even faster than a thrown Kunai, and it also had its own judgment, knowing how to dodge and turn.
"Have you already tamed this summoning beast so quickly?"
It was truly enviable.
"Not only do I have this summoning beast, but I also have a flock of Spear Egrets."
Vortex Yuka waved her hand, and five normal-sized Spear Egrets flew out from the woods behind her.
These Egrets flew at high speed, their beaks all like Kunai.
With large summoning beasts providing powerful attack capabilities and small summoning beasts for interference, this flock of summoning beasts greatly enhanced Yuka's abilities.
Night Light withdrew his envious gaze and got down to business:
"Yuka, I've obtained intelligence from the Anbu.
Princess Kushina encountered setbacks while attempting to seal the wild Three-Tails. She was pursued by Cloud Ninja and Kirigakure, and the sealing failed.
The Konoha ANBU will soon go to the seaside to support Princess Kushina, but the two Anbu squads are not enough to save Princess Kushina."
Yuka was greatly alarmed: "Princess Kushina went to seal the Three-Tails? I didn't even know about this. It seems the Village kept it a secret to prevent spies from leaking information, not telling anyone in the Village. Then I..."
"It's good that you've contracted the Spear Egret, a flying summoning beast. Use the flying summoning beast to quickly gather support. Princess Kushina cannot be lost."
With that, Night Light left using the Body Flicker Technique.
Yuka noticed that the Fox's strength had increased significantly. How did he do it? Did he grow stronger in battle?
The Body Flicker Technique left a black shadow, disappearing rapidly, making him seem much cooler.
An hour later, a special signal flare rose in the distance.
It was the Konoha ANBU's crimson signal flare, representing the highest level of Anbu assembly order.
Captain Huang Quan had already obtained the intelligence after interrogating the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader.
He quickly returned to the squad's position.
Night Light said to the Brown Bear Squad Leader, "Squad Leader, I chased halfway and then came back when I saw the signal flare."
"It's alright. Compared to the Vortex sealing scroll, the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader you brought back provided more important intelligence."
Night Light was secretly anxious, wondering if Vortex Yuka could bring enough reinforcements.
The Wave Country was far from both Konoha Village and Uzushiogakure, so they might not make it in time.
Following the main force to the seaside, they encountered Vortex Kushina and her group at the beach.
When facing Kirigakure, having learned the Body Flicker Technique made it easier to dodge and weave.
After Princess Vortex and her group escaped far away, Night Light finally received the retreat order.
Kirigakure and Cloud Ninja were very strong. Kirigakure followed closely behind the Anbu, while Cloud Ninja were flanking.
The pressure grew greater and greater. Captain Huang Quan sent the Black Bull Squad to cover their retreat.
In less than half a minute of delay, the Black Bull Squad was completely wiped out.
Captain Huang Quan then sent Night Light's Brown Bear Squad to cover their retreat.
The Brown Bear Squad Leader turned without hesitation, calmly facing his own death and the death of his squad members.
However, the squad members didn't need that calmness.
They were about to face a certain death situation.
Night Light continuously scanned his surroundings, concentrating all his Chakra in his feet.
Fully utilizing the width of the battlefield, he found a spot with fewer Kirigakure Ninja.
He Body Flickered there, gaining at least 3 seconds of survival time for himself.
The nearest Kirigakure Ninja would take at least 3 seconds to attack him. Every second he lived was a bonus.
By relying on the Body Flicker Technique, Night Light delayed for the most time.
The Brown Bear Squad Leader faced more enemies, his body like a hedgehog, pierced by steel senbon.
Some senbon pierced his throat, heart, and other vital points.
Before his death, the Brown Bear Squad Leader had a moment of conscience and wanted to see how his squad members were doing.
He turned his head and saw that the Fox was still alive.
The next instant, his eyes behind the mask were filled with sympathy.
Night Light was startled.
Why was he pitying him?
Instinctively, Night Light suddenly lunged forward!
Behind him, Biwa Jūzō's Executioner's Blade was already swinging towards Night Light's waist!
How could a man's waist be injured?
Just as he was about to die, Night Light heard the exciting sound of chains!
This was the sound of the Uzumaki Clan's Adamantine Chains sealing technique!
Two chains pinned to the ground on either side of Night Light, blocking the Executioner's Blade.
Night Light rolled on the ground and saw the newcomers.
A Ninja, wearing the emblem of the Wave Country' Daimyo's Guardian Ninja!
Behind him were many more Vortex Ninja; all the Ninja performing missions in the Wave Country had come.
Vortex Yuka's graceful silhouette appeared in the water mist.
She had brought reinforcements!
