Chapter 46: The Foundation of the Five Great Ninja Villages

Seeing those ninjas obviously slowing down their speed and becoming more cautious, Lu Lin couldn't help but sigh that they were indeed ninjas. Even though he had done enough to confuse the opponents, they were still so cautious.

Fortunately, he had dispersed his men in advance and went deeper into the forest.

He had Kagura's mind, so naturally he didn't need his subordinates to report to him all the time. On the contrary, he knew even more than his subordinates.

Although the Kirigakure troops had already entered the forest and found nothing unusual, the captain just felt something was wrong. Suddenly, he felt his heart beating very fast.

"Stop!"

He hurriedly shouted loudly that whenever any danger occurred, his heart would beat wildly for no reason, and he had relied on this strange heartbeat to avoid several fatal disasters.

"Everyone, exit the forest!"

His face looked extremely bad. Even at this point, the enemy had not appeared yet. Could it be that they wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop?

Seeing that the enemy seemed to be leaving again, Lu Lin was surprised. Aren’t these guys too cautious?

Unable to wait that long, Lu Lin quickly formed seals with his hands and directly detonated the detonating talisman.

Although these Mist Ninjas have not yet entered the center of the explosion circle, they have no intention of annihilating them all, so that's about it.

boom!

A violent explosion sounded in the center of the Mist Ninja Force, and immediately, countless limbs and arms were blown away.

"No! It's a detonating talisman!"

The captain's eyes narrowed instantly. He didn't expect that even though he was so careful, he would still be ambushed.

"Retreat quickly!"

Faced with such a chaotic situation, he could only shout loudly, then formed seals with his hands, protected himself with an earth wall, and rushed out of the forest.

As expected of the captain of this group of Mist Ninjas, his strength is quite good. Moreover, when detonating the detonating tag, the captain was still at a relatively long distance.

So apart from some scratches on his body, he didn't have any serious injuries.

However, those ninjas who were trapped in the circle of explosive tags were not so lucky. Having an arm or a thigh blown off was considered a light punishment. There were many ninjas who could not even put their own corpses together.

Only after the detonating talisman exploded completely did Lu Lin put on a mask and slowly walked out of the forest with his men.

Lu Lin stood in front of the team and said coldly:

"Mist Ninja, please leave. You are not welcome here. We in the Tea Kingdom do not want to start a war."

hateful!

The captain's face twisted when he heard Lu Lin's words. Don't want to start a war? Then why don't you ambush us!

However, looking at his troops who had suffered heavy losses, he could only chew up the bitter experience and swallow it, then he grinned and said hoarsely:

"That's a misunderstanding. We don't actually want to start a war."

"I'm so sorry."

Lu Lin said with some regret:

“There are a lot of detonating talismans in this forest, and I don’t know who buried them here.

I've wanted to clean them up for a long time, but I was afraid that they would hurt people, so I was still too slow. Oh, how about everyone come with me to Tianyin Village, and I will treat everyone?"

"no need."

The captain refused:

"We won't bother you guys, we have medical ninjas equipped."

"That's good."

Lu Lin smiled and nodded, then waved to the other side:

"We'll leave first. When I get back, I'll have to investigate who put the detonating talisman there. Then I'll catch him and make him apologize to everyone in person."

"hehe."

The Mist Ninja captain gave two dry laughs to express his gratitude.

Lu Lin took his men and sneaked back into the forest in a swagger.

But in the perception of the Mist Ninjas, Lu Lin and others did not leave, but were obviously hiding in the bushes.

"Damn, are they insulting us?"

In his own perception, the chakra that was clearly not hidden made the Mist Ninja feel that Lu Lin was mocking him.

Although the other side had fewer people, they were all elites, while their own people had just experienced a disaster and many people were still injured.

There were even many people with broken legs and arms who were still lying in the forest and had not come out.

Those people...

The captain gritted his teeth. It seemed that he had no choice but to give up on them. It was obvious that Lu Lin would not let them move forward any further.

"Ugh..."

The captain sighed dejectedly, and then, under the gaze of everyone, he gave the order to retreat.

This mission was a failure, but it’s good enough that not everyone was killed here.

He turned back fiercely and glanced at the forest behind him:

"Just wait, I'll come back sooner or later!"

Then he thought of the Tennin who had talked to him before. He did not sense any chakra fluctuations from that person.

However, this guy without chakra fluctuations is the leader of a large group of ninjas.

There are only two results:

One is that this person is indeed just an ordinary person;

Another thing is that this person’s strength far exceeds his own.

His eyes narrowed slightly. He was now an elite jonin. It seemed that only a Kage-level warrior could conceal his perception and chakra fluctuations in front of others.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed that they had probably saved their lives.

Looking at the Mist Ninja leaving in embarrassment, Lu Lin's men laughed heartily. This was the first time they defeated the people from the five major ninja villages head-on on the battlefield, even though it was only by sneak attacks with detonating tags.

Speaking of which, the villagers and ninjas of Tianyin Village were basically people rescued by Lu Lin when he passed by some small countries affected by the war while doing business.

In their eyes, the five major ninja villages are almost invincible. Recalling the half-bodied Salamander Hanzo back then, even though he had great personal strength, he was still defeated by the five major ninja villages.

And I heard that the one who defeated him can be considered his junior.

In this information-poor ninja world, the only way for civilians in small countries to receive information is through what others tell them.

This leads to the large ninja villages often promoting their own strength and invincibility.

This gave the small country the impression that the five major ninja villages were invincible.

Therefore, in several Ninja World Wars, even if the small countries were devastated by the war, only one person stood up to resist.

Even though only a hundred people were driven away this time, the significance is different for the entire Tianyin Village.

When a small country fights against a big country, it will naturally be at a disadvantage because of the impression it has of the big country.

This is the foundation of the five major countries and the five major ninja villages.
