Chapter 153 Ghost Lantern City

Ghost Lantern City, Qingye and his team successfully sneaked in here.

The defense of Gui Lantern Castle is actually very good, even 70% to 80% of the defense level of Konoha.

Unfortunately, in Qingye's mind now, these defensive barriers are basically useless.

Qingye did not bring more people this time. Konoha's business was too big and they needed manpower everywhere.

There was no way he could mobilize more Anbu members, so he chose to lead the team himself and enter Ghost Lantern City.

As soon as they entered the Ghost Lantern Castle, Karin spoke in confusion.

"It's so strange. It's a strange feeling."

Karin's Kagura Heart Eye is extremely powerful, not inferior to the Byakugan. In terms of perception, it is stronger than Aoba's.

"Teacher, I felt something strange... I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't look like a living thing, but there is an energy reaction. And it's a very strange energy."

"Now that we have determined the location, that should be what we are looking for. Let's go and take a look."

Aoba, Karin, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, a five-member team, walked directly into the core of Kizuna Castle as if no one was around.

After walking a few steps, they began to encounter a large number of ninjas blocking their way.

"A ninja from Konoha?"

"What happened? We didn't receive any notification."

"That person seems to be Kamikawa Aoba, Konoha's strongest ninja, who defeated the Raikage twice."

"You must be kidding. That's a Kage-level ninja. Can we stop him?"

From their conversation, we know that these people don't know what happened inside Ghost Lantern City.

"As you can see, we are the Konoha Investigation Team. We are here to perform a mission in Ghost Lantern City. Please get out of the way."

Qingye didn't want to take action yet, but the ninjas didn't seem to be willing to give way.

"But we haven't received any notification from the village. Sorry, we can't let you pass. Even if you are a ninja from Konoha."

"I know you haven't received orders from the village. But we have a letter of authorization from the Daimyo of the Land of Grass."

Qingye threw out a scroll, which was not fake, but a real authorization letter from the Daimyo of the Grass Country.

Because of the disobedience of the Kusagakure Village, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass was also furious. He contacted Konoha directly and gave this authorization letter, preparing to let the big brother teach his dog a lesson on his behalf.

However, just as Qingye threw the authorization letter, one of the ninjas on the opposite side suddenly gathered chakra. Then, a small wind escape ninjutsu hit the scroll in mid-air.

In an instant, the scroll was destroyed.

"I'm sorry, but we don't see any authorization letter from the daimyo. So, you can't go in."

A young ninja came out and stood in front of Qingye, with a mocking look in his eyes.

Aoba looked at the ninja in front of him with a strange look.

"I'm very curious. You should know that you can't stop me. Do you know what your behavior just now means?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't see any documents, I just saw a group of outsiders who wanted to trespass into the restricted area."

"Interesting." Qingye chuckled, then took out another scroll from his arms.

"If I say that what happened just now was fake and this is real, how would you respond?"

"......" The young man didn't expect Qingye to play this trick.

He came out not to stop Aoba, but to buy time. He used the rule-abiding nature of the Konoha ninjas to buy time so that the plan could be implemented smoothly.

"You..." The playfulness on the young man's face disappeared, replaced by a hint of panic.

"Look, at this point you should say, I want to see this document. Then after taking the document, destroy it immediately. Only in this way can you continue your plan to delay time. So, do you want to see it?"

Qingye said as he handed over the document in his hand. But this time, no one dared to take it.

Although Qingye did not show any sign of anger from beginning to end, everyone present had already begun to sense danger.

In fact, most of the guards had already begun to retreat quietly. Only the dozen or so ninjas following the young man were still insisting on the confrontation.

Qingye took a look at the scene, then turned around and said to several of his subordinates.

"We can open the road now."

Sasuke and Naruto, who had been unable to hold back any longer, rushed forward.

Few people knew what level Qingye's children had grown to. Qingye himself didn't even have a clear idea.

The main reason was that they still had little actual combat experience. Most of the battles were with Qingye.

Qingye could sense their progress, but was not sure to what extent they had improved.

Therefore, this time they were brought out to test the waters. After all, Konoha's expansion plan was about to begin. Aoba still had too few people to use. If these guys were capable, he would have more people under him.

At this time, Karin gently pulled Aoba, indicating that the strange energy source inside was now increasing.

But Qingye didn't care, because he never thought of stopping the opening of the Paradise Box. On the contrary, he deliberately cooperated with the other party to delay time, just to make the Paradise Box open successfully. He needed to test what the Paradise Box could produce.

This thing is dangerous, but if it is valuable enough, Qingye will never let it sink into the sea.

The controller of Ghost Lantern City should be Wuwei. But now it seems that he has not won over all the ninjas to join his plan.

Among all the guards of Ghost Lantern City, only a dozen stood in front of Sasuke and Naruto. The rest simply stepped back and waited for the development of the situation.

Adding the group deep in Ghost Lantern City, all the people on Wuwei's side only add up to about thirty or forty.

The current Sasuke and Naruto are totally different from the past. Facing the fighting power of more than a dozen Chunins, they are not afraid at all.

Naruto launched dozens of shadow clones, which frightened the opponent.

In ninja battles, clones are one of the most commonly used fighting techniques. But everyone is here to ambush, sneak attack, trick skills, and trick movement. Who has ever seen dozens of clones confront each other at the beginning?

Compared to Naruto, Sasuke's fighting style is closer to that of a ninja.

"Lightning Release, Lightning Spear." Because Aoba had started training him in advance, Sasuke's control over lightning chakra was far superior to that of fire chakra.

Under this effect, he could use all kinds of lightning-attributed ninjutsu easily. Although he had not yet reached the level where he could clap his hands and make anything happen, he was almost there. All the lightning-based ninjutsu he used basically did not exceed two seals.

The lightning spear came out and pierced through the two people directly. This high-speed, high-attack ninjutsu can be called a nightmare-level first-sight kill.

At the same time, Naruto was hit in the face with dozens of Rasengan, which directly rolled the three ninjas in the front into meatballs.

One third of the troops were killed in one encounter, and this was just the combat power of two Genin from Konoha.

The guards of Ghost Lantern City were completely stunned. The original intention of holding on was completely gone, and some even turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Qingye knew there was no suspense. Silently, he left a shadow clone in the same place. The real body had crossed the defense line and entered the depths of Gui Lantern City.
