Chapter 496: Ordinary Toad

The reason why Ye Zi didn't arrange a task for Yan Ye was simple, but he couldn't say it.

Yanye has a dirty earth body, and the carrier is not a Hashirama cell clone. Her strength is less than half of her peak period. She can't defeat even some members of the Snake Team.

"Why don't you assign me a task? I won't die now and can be of greater value." Yan Ye followed Ye Zi very unhappy.

Ye Zi suddenly stopped in the passage, and Yan Ye also stopped when he saw this.

"The purpose of this mission is to test the Snake Team's actual combat capabilities. Just stay at the stronghold and wait for news." Ye Zi said without looking back.

Yan Ye said reluctantly: "Even if this is the case, can't you let me follow you?"

"No, don't follow, just stay." Ye Zi refused directly without giving any reason, and then walked out towards the entrance of the stronghold.

His tone was firm and unquestionable, so Yan Ye was stunned for a moment, standing there watching Ye Zi's leaving figure, unable to lift his heels anymore.

It wasn't until Ye Zi's figure disappeared around the corner of the passage that Yan Ye looked back, her face a little complicated. She felt something had changed in Ye Zi, but she couldn't tell.

Outside the stronghold, the team has assembled.

Ye Zi looked at the seven teams that had been divided into teams, raised his arm, put his index and middle fingers together, and suddenly made a stroke to the right, saying in a deep voice: "Disperse."

A total of sixty-eight members of the Snake Team disappeared silently, all heading in different directions.

Uchiha Susumu and Karin remained where they were, and there were only three of them left at the exit.

"You guys can go too." Ye Zi glanced at Xiang Li, who was still a little unaccustomed to it, and said calmly: "Protect her."

Xiang Phosphorus's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of luster flowing inside.

Uchiha Shin said calmly: "Understood, let's go, Xianglan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards the rock wall.

Xiang Ling glanced at the expressionless Ye Zi timidly, and followed Uchiha Shin.

Arriving in front of the rock wall, Uchiha jumped onto the slightly protruding rocks, and kept rising with several vertical leaps. His speed was very slow, in order to match the speed of the phosphorus.

Xiang Ling's petite body flew into the air like a bird. She seemed a little clumsy, but she managed to climb up the rock wall.

Ye Zi watched everyone disappear within the range of perception. Everyone who left here was a ninja. Although they had not seen blood, their ideas and opinions were already deeply ingrained.

There is no doubt that this will also be a standard battle between ninjas. None of the lurking intelligence agents is weak, and they know how to use fighting skills better.

They have long been familiar with various methods such as disguise, sneak attack, poisoning and so on. What they are good at is not frontal combat, but attack and killing after grasping the intelligence.

This time, these people who had only been staring at the target's back were stared at by the cold snake eyes of the Snake Team.

Ye Zi is looking forward to the results and the detailed battle reports written by each captain later. He hopes that no one will be lost in the actual combat of this mission. Although he believes in the strength of the members of the Snake Team, as long as it is a battle, there will inevitably be casualties. .

hiss!

The clone with the Byakugan implanted emerged from the ground beside Ye Zi, with only his upper body exposed.

"Then... let's go." Ye Zi glanced at the waterfalls around him, then his body melted into the ground and disappeared.

The white-eyed clone said nothing and melted into the ground and disappeared.

............

The terrain of Takino Country is famous for its many waterfalls, but there are also mountains, plains, forests and other terrains, but the scope is smaller. Among them, the only place that can be called a forest is the Aoki Forest, but not only the Aoki Forest has trees. There are also some places that can only be called forests. Lots of terrain for the woods.

There is a forest that is the only way to pass after leaving the stronghold.

In the past, when Taki Ninja Village was still there, this forest was a key place of warning.

In the quiet woods, a palm-sized toad jumped around, and finally jumped onto a stone covered with green moss, staring in a certain direction.

Whoosh!

One after another figures came from that direction, walking through the not-so-dense woods with vigorous movements.

This toad was just like the toads that can be seen everywhere. It was sparse and ordinary and did not attract anyone's attention.

This group of people are members of the Snake Team.

Most of the members need to go through the woods and then spread out.

The toad's eyes followed the members of the snake team leaping through the woods, but no one noticed this.

After all the members of the Snake Team left, the toad still remained on the rocks. If anyone noticed, they would definitely notice something unusual about this toad.

No matter in terms of eyes or body appearance, this is an ordinary toad, but inside it is unusual.

Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha, is hidden in the body of this ordinary-looking toad and can share sight and hearing.

This is the Toad Hidden Technique that he specially uses to collect intelligence. Hiding in this toad, he can perfectly isolate chakra and breath, so that he cannot be discovered.

"I don't have a forehead protector. Is that the Sharingan? Everyone has one, and they are all three magatama." Jiraiya was very surprised by the picture he saw through the toad's vision. He instantly thought of something. That incident when Ye Zi attacked Konoha years ago.

After the war, among the victims gathered by the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan disappeared.

This association made his heart skip a beat.

After the Sharingan transplantation, only people like Ye Zi who have a lot of inter-pillar cells in the body and close to the ultimate degree of fusion can control the shape of the eyes. In addition, Uchiha Susumu can also open or close it freely due to his special constitution. Sharingan, but everyone in the Snake Team does not have this ability. The transplanted Sharingan can only remain open.

Because of the function of Hashirama's cells, even if the Sharingan is always open, it will not consume too much chakra for no reason.

It was just like this that Jiraiya saw the Sharingan of the members of the Snake Team, and couldn't hide the turmoil in his heart.

The reason why he came here was an unexpected surprise.

Originally, he was targeting the Kingdom of Rain, but no trace of Ye Zi was found, and the same was true for Orochimaru. The two of them felt as if they had disappeared from the ninja world, which was very strange.

Until one day, he found a man who was buying ninja tools in the Land of Fire.

There was only one person, a woman, and the purchasing method was very secretive. She transformed, disguised, and purchased in batches. It was this seemingly deliberate purchasing method that caught his attention.

Thanks to his boredom, he directly stared at this woman, and then followed her to the country of Taki.

From this, it was initially judged that the Taki Ninja Village in the Country of Taki was purchasing a large number of ninja tools, but it was so secretive that it felt like a big move.

Now that he has touched this place, Jiraiya will definitely not miss the opportunity. Even though Taki Ninja Village and Konoha Village seem to be incompatible, Taki Ninja Village, which has rarely been involved in wars, will buy ninja tools on a large scale, which makes him very curious.

In terms of gathering intelligence, Jiraiya has always been cautious and did not easily follow the woman too deeply. Instead, he adopted a wait-and-see approach and wanted to wait and see as much as possible from the outside.

However, this observation made him discover something strange.

For a long time, except for this woman, there was no ninja from Taki Ninja Village. Even though Taki Ninja Village rarely intervened in the war, not a single Taki Ninja went out, which was very unreasonable.

Jiraiya was very patient and did not attack this woman easily.

To this day, after seeing the members of the Snake Team who had been transplanted with the Sharingan, a chill suddenly rose in his heart.
