Chapter 137 Bloody Forest (5)

The sky gradually darkened at some point, making the already poorly visible forest appear even more gloomy and terrifying, making people feel lonely and insecure in the forest.

The sound of clattering footsteps came from the darkness, and the two ninjas stepped over a large number of huge trees that were leaning all over the place, and only stopped when they came across a bloody corpse.

The corpse was torn beyond recognition by the enemy. Not only were all its limbs destroyed, but there were also several deep wounds on the torso that could be seen to the bone. Its internal organs were scattered all over the ground. It was obvious that it had suffered great abuse while alive.

Ye Shan suppressed the rage in his heart, took out a brand new body bag from his ninja tool bag, and gently collected the scattered human tissues. Jiraiya just stood there and watched intently.

After all the human tissues were put into the body bag, Ye Shan took out another scroll, sealed it with a few seals, and finally solemnly put it in his arms.

What Ye Shan picked up was not just a broken body; he was also the father of several children, the backbone of a family, and most importantly, the dignity of a ninja village.

Although Ye Shan had prepared himself mentally before the second exam, he still couldn't stop being extremely angry when he saw the body of the examiner in charge of the exam. Someone was provoking him, Baiyun Ye Shan, and someone was provoking the Konohagakure, and it seemed that there was more than one person.

Judging from the traces of battle, this was a long-planned ambush. Although the aftermath of the battle caused many century-old trees to fall down, Ye Shan's eyesight still allowed him to see through the essence of the battle at a glance.

When the unknown Konoha senior ninja named Morino had nowhere to gain leverage in the air, several huge wind blades whizzed towards him but were dodged. Then he was bombarded with waves of ninjutsu, which eventually hit him and killed him on the spot.

A senior ninja died in such an unclear manner, and his death was so tragic that it was like a slap in the face to Ye Shan, making him see stars.

His fists creaked as he was clenched, and extreme anger reappeared in Ye Shan's body after a few years.

In silence, Jiraiya leaned over, slapped his hands on the ground and summoned a toad, anger brewing in his words: "Take a closer look, and tell me if you find anything."

The toad glanced at Ye Shan and was a little afraid of the gloomy aura on him. After hearing Jiraiya's words, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and searched carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes and said helplessly: "There were probably five people's auras, but nothing else was found."

Jiraiya nodded to indicate that he understood, and immediately lifted the summoning technique to let the toad return to Myoboku Mountain, feeling quite helpless. The field of perception has always been his shortcoming. Although he has trained several summoning beasts with perception talents in recent years, the results are far from satisfactory.

Ye Shan didn't say anything, but took out a ninja hawk from the cage hanging on his shoulder, pinned a note on its feet and let it go. The ninja hawk let out a sharp scream and flew towards Konoha.

"First, notify the patrolling jonin to gather. From now on, no single person is allowed to act. You must continue the mission as a team."

Jiraiya echoed Yeshan's words, and he took out a ninja hawk and released it. The two did not stay here, but quickly came to a high tower in the middle of the forest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the other senior ninjas.

Soon, several jonin who received the assembly signal hurried to the tower, only to find that the usually smiling Yeshan was now sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. Knowing that something big had happened, they all stood below with bated breath and dared not say a word.

Even though they were all jonin in the village, there was a huge gap in their strength, and this time Ye Shan was one of the examiners, so they naturally had to flatter him carefully to avoid being ridiculed and embarrassed.

They waited until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, but still one person had not come to report. The senior ninjas who were standing upright naturally knew what this meant, and their faces turned grim.

Finally, someone could no longer hold back in the endless silence, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Master Ye Shan, please let me know whether we should send people to search the B- and D-areas."

The B and D areas were exactly the areas that the two senior ninjas were responsible for patrolling. It must have been an accident that they hadn't arrived after such a long time, so a ninja suggested sending out ninjas to search.

Ye Shan shook his head with a sullen face, took out two scrolls from his arms and said coldly, "No need, their bodies have been collected by me."

Originally, Yeshan had arranged for his senior ninjas to form a team of two to carry out patrol missions, but because the Anbu directly under the Hokage had an urgent mission and could not participate, they had no choice but to change to a single-person patrol. Unexpectedly, an accident happened in less than two days.

This was not the most infuriating thing. The death of the jonin in the village in the forest could be blamed on their lack of skills or their carelessness. However, if the talented students from various countries who came to take the exam also died in such an unclear manner, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the reputation and authority of the village.

Ye Shan never thought that someone would actually dare to do something like that right under his nose. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and there was still room for recovery.

After glancing at the people standing below, Ye Shan snorted coldly to interrupt their whispering and said lightly: "I have reported this matter to the Hokage-sama. I believe the support from the village will arrive soon."

"I'll give you ten minutes. I want to see a brand new ninja team in ten minutes."

Everyone looked at each other, and then walked around without hesitation. Everyone was a jonin in the village, and although they didn't know each other's abilities, they had a general understanding of each other. For a while, the tower became noisy.

Ye Shan watched all this coldly until everyone stood in threes again. Then he turned his eyes and said, "The extra person, follow me."

The remaining ninja was none other than a ninja from the Aburame clan. After hearing this, he just nodded without saying anything, looking taciturn and unsociable.

After a while, several strange auras came from outside the tower. Yeshan and Jiraiya were still sitting in their seats, but two ninjas walked over, opened the door, and welcomed the people in.

"Hyuga Bugyo has come to report in under the orders of the Hokage-sama."

There were not many people coming, just a small ninja team, but they all had pure white pupils and their aura was unusually thick. They were obviously the elite jonin of the Hyuga clan.

"Do you know the details of the mission?" Ye Shan asked.

Hyuga Bugyo shook his head and said, "Hokage-sama only ordered me to come as quickly as possible, but did not tell me what the mission was."

Ye Shan nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while and said, "Does Master Jiraiya have any ideas?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiraiya, and they obviously wanted to hear what he, the examiner, thought.

Jiraiya said calmly, "You are the person in charge of this exam, and I can't interfere. Just do what you say."

Ye Shan nodded, slowly stood up, and a powerful aura swept out, causing the faces of the ninjas present to change.

"I, Baiyun Yeshan, as the chief examiner of this exam, order you to do your best to find the intruders. If you are able to kill them on the spot, kill them immediately. If you are unable to do so, send out a distress signal. Do you understand?"

Yeshan was officially issuing orders as a Konoha Jonin, and these were orders that went beyond the exam tasks, so naturally he had to seek Jiraiya's opinion first, otherwise he would inevitably be criticized.

"The enemy is very powerful, and there may even be elite jonin. Regardless of whether you can kill them or not, you must send out a warning signal immediately!"

"The Hyuuga ninjas will be organized into three ninja teams, Master Jiraiya will stay in the tower, and the Aburame ninjas will follow me. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Disperse!"

In just a moment, the crowded tower became empty. Ye Shan slowly walked down the stairs and said to the jonin of the Aburame clan, "Follow me."

After saying that, he left instantly, leaving Jiraiya alone sitting on the chair with a heavy face, his arms folded across his chest, wondering what he was thinking.

Yeshan brought the Aburame clan's jonin back to the B-type area and found a place with a wide view to hide.

Ye Shan had his own plans for returning to this area. Normally, ninjas were people who did not follow the rules. They were often real desperate criminals and cunning people. They used tricks such as hiding in plain sight and were always effective.

Now other areas have a search team composed of all jonin, and some key areas where genin gather are also searched by Byakugan radar. It is very likely that the group of invaders will return to the area where the incident occurred to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, these are just Ye Shan’s guesses. He is not a worm in the enemy’s stomach, so it is impossible for him to accurately grasp the enemy’s movements.

Just as Ye Shan was concentrating on listening to the movements in the forest, the Aburame clan ninja said sullenly: "Actually, my perception ability is very strong."

Ye Shan was slightly stunned, turned his head and looked at the other party inexplicably and asked: "Do the ninjas of the Aburame clan also practice perception ninjutsu?"

As far as he knew, the ninjas of the Aburame clan had been keeping insects in their bodies since childhood, and they practiced the clan's secret insect repellent ninjutsu. How could they have the time to practice the perception ninjutsu? Moreover, the conditions for practicing the perception ninjutsu were extremely harsh, otherwise perception ninjas would not be so rare.

The Aburame ninja pushed up his sunglasses and said in a muffled voice, "It's not a perception ninjutsu. I can use insects to conduct reconnaissance."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and under Ye Shan's gaze, dense swarms of insects drilled out from the holes in his skin, and then flew out in a regular pattern.

"..."

"This is a special kind of bug that is extremely sensitive to the chakra in a ninja's body and can accurately sense the strength of their chakra, so it can be used for reconnaissance."

Ye Shan suddenly realized that insects had so many uses, and couldn't help asking, "What's your name?"

"Aburame Kengo."

Ye Shan nodded and asked softly, "How big is the search range?"

"About five kilometers. Any further away and the bugs won't obey my command."

A range of five kilometers is already amazing, far beyond the perception of ordinary ninjas. Yeshan became interested but did not say much. Instead, Aburame Kengo continued to speak.

"In the thirty-ninth year of Konoha, we met several times on the battlefield of the Land of Grass."

Ye Shan was a little puzzled. Logically, he should have an impression of the ninjas he had met, especially those from the same village, but how come he had no memory of the other person at all?

"Lord Yeyama, don't you remember?" There was a hint of disappointment in Kengo Aburame's voice.

Ye Shan pursed his lips and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, it's been too long and I don't remember it."

"..."

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but Ye Shan actually felt a hint of resentment, which made him even more confused.
