In this border village, the police ninjas from nearby towns immediately visited the scene and conducted surveys after receiving the news.

According to the explanation of the villagers in this village, there is a monster making trouble in the village at night. It has a tall body and makes a rumbling sound when it walks.

The eyes will also light up at night.

Realizing that the matter was not simple, the villagers immediately sought help from the town's police force.

One of the two police ninjas squatted down and used his palm to mark the sunken footprints on the ground. The cement road was trampled and cracks appeared next to the footprints.

When that 'monster' moves around, it is very powerful, probably even more powerful than the wild beasts in the forest.

"This kind of footprint is not human, but it is also very different from the footprints of all the beasts I know."

The ninja shook his head, unable to tell what kind of mark this monster left when it walked.

It's really strange that the hard concrete road can be cracked just by walking around.

The other ninja also shook his head and just took a pen to write in the notebook, accurately writing the information about the footprints on it.

Then I took out my camera from my backpack, took pictures of the footprints on the road, and went back to let the experts identify the footprints made by some kind of 'monster'.

At this moment, an old man walked over shakily. He was the village chief of this border village.

"This may be the traces left by the Terracotta Warriors and Horses."

"Terracotta warriors and horses?"

The two ninjas raised their eyebrows.

"I just remembered it, because the memory is too old. The terracotta warriors and horses are soldiers controlled by monsters and spies...Only spies can control them, and they have the powerful power to ravage the earth to pieces."

The village chief's face was full of worry.

Monster sprites have always been immortal monsters that have been entrenched in the Kingdom of Demons. Many old people in the Kingdom of Demons have heard of this legend. In the past, they have also witnessed monster sprites controlling armies, attacking human towns, and causing destruction.

and destruction.

For thousands of years, witches have guarded this country and have been fighting monsters to this day, but there is still no winner.

The country of ghosts is also a dangerous country.

But even so, many people still come to take refuge because the war outside is more terrifying than the monsters and spies.

"Is that so? Monsters... we understand. Don't go out during this period. We will contact the nearby shrine. If the monsters are really causing trouble, let the shrine maiden perform an exorcism ceremony."

There are many strange creatures in the ninja world.

Monster is one of them.

There has been an order from the higher ups, if any traces of monsters are found, immediately request support from the nearest shrine.

If you want to seal monsters, you can only rely on the power of miko. Ninjas will be very disadvantaged when dealing with monsters.

"Then it's up to you. Please also report this matter to Maitreya Maiden immediately. Only Maitreya-sama can deal with such a powerful monster."

The village chief looked worried. If it was true as he suspected, the country of ghosts would soon become unstable.

"Really, a neutral country has set up such a strict military zone...don't they want to be a neutral country?"

There was a bonfire in the cave at night. Several Kumogakure ninjas sat around the bonfire, and one of them began to complain.

They are spies who secretly sneak into the Kingdom of Ghosts and collect confidential information about the Kingdom's military.

But in the past two years, they have had no chance to enter any military zone in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

As long as you get close, you will be sensed by the sensing ninja there.

The security system there is really exaggerated.

It's not that no one noticed that a neutral country made such a big move, it's just that none of the countries mentioned it openly that using ninjas to spy on intelligence was the best way.

"There is no way, this is the order of Lord Raikage... Moreover, we have been operating in the Kingdom of Demons for so long, and we have actually been discovered long ago. It's just that they are afraid of the Kingdom of Thunder behind us, so they don't pay attention to us."

The Jonin captain sighed helplessly.

It is impossible for the Ghost Country with that kind of alert level not to be able to discover this, otherwise they would have sneaked into the military area and obtained the first-hand confidential information.

"What's next?"

"Keep working. The superiors haven't asked us to go back. I guess we still don't want to give up."

"But if this continues..."

Before the Kumogakure ninja finished speaking, the Jonin captain hissed, signaling for silence.

The rest of the team members also fell silent, sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

At the same time, they looked at the entrance of the cave. A gloomy wind blew in from the outside and extinguished the bonfire.

The cave immediately fell into darkness.

"Thunder Escape·Thunder Flash!"

The moment the bonfire was extinguished, the Jonin captain moved quickly with his eyes and hands. After forming the seal, he sprayed a sharp lightning gun from his mouth, penetrating the darkness of the night and hitting a certain location.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, a purple-black mist flew out from the shadows.

The lightning gun penetrated through the purple-black light mist, shattering the rocks in the distance.

"What!?"

Ignoring the Thunder Release Ninjutsu of Kumogakure Jōnin, an eerie and evil laughter burst out from the purple-black light mist, and he pounced on several Kumo Ninjas at extremely fast speeds, surrounding them in the mist.

The shrill shouting lasted for a few seconds, and then silence returned to the cave.

Outside the cave, pairs of eyes lit up, all over the mountains and plains.
