The confusion among the top ninja leaders is not an isolated case.

Many high-ranking ninja clans discovered that the spies they sent out never returned.

No, not only did he not return, but even the news was almost cut off.

The people who were sent over later were just like the previous ones, and they lost contact inexplicably.

It's like seeing a ghost.

In desperation, they no longer dared to send ordinary spies.

Instead, they let the most respected and loyal elites in the tribe find out the reason.

This time they were not going to have the elites repeat the previous spies' 'infiltration' operation, but instead had them investigate what had happened that caused all the tribesmen to lose contact one by one.

The ninja who knelt on one knee in front of the family leaders did not disappoint their expectations. After making a solemn promise, he continued to rush to the "scene of the incident".

Because he did not intend to use the traditional method of blending in to gather information, he had more experience and time, and could observe from the perspective of an outsider this place where his fellow tribesmen had lost contact.

What kind of devil's den is this... Let him take a good look.

The family elite thought so, but the scene in the early morning left him stunned.

“I was here first!”

"I went first!"

"Get out of the way! It's obviously me!"

"If you don't get out of the way, I'll do it!"

The family elites saw from a distance that several ninjas were huddled together at the door like chickens fighting for food.

Among them are some familiar faces that he has dealt with before and found difficult to deal with.

But what is a person like that doing here?

And he seemed so... so urgent.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the elites from the ninja clan would hardly be able to imagine that the man could be so anxious and eager.

…What on earth happened?

Just when he was puzzled, a boy who looked like an adult came out from the door and stopped the pushing and joking that was about to turn into a gang fight.

"Okay everyone, I know you are all anxious, but no bloodshed is allowed here."

"If you don't follow the rules, then I can only announce with regret..."

Before the boy finished speaking, the whole scene fell silent.

Then the ninjas who were almost fighting and squeezed together just now were like

It was as if he had become a different person, and they suddenly started to put their arms around each other's shoulders.

"How could that be? I, we just haven't seen each other for a long time and we're a little excited."

"Yes, yes. I'm just a little excited and enthusiastic."

"Yes, yes. Everyone here is my half-siblings. How could they fight?"

——In an instant, they became extremely harmonious and close. It was as if they had really met brothers and sisters who had been separated for many years.

But God knows, among them are many people from families that have frequent frictions with each other or often fight during missions.

“…”

Are these people crazy?

The elite ninja couldn't believe his eyes.

But this bizarre scene actually happened right before his eyes.

"I'm so glad everyone is so harmonious."

The young man who walked out of the door smiled and clasped his hands together.

"Then without further ado, let's start today's registration - the first ten please follow me to register, and the adults behind you, please go back."

"We'll see you at this time tomorrow."

As soon as the boy finished speaking, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

The ninjas in front of the door almost immediately started fighting again.

However, with the young man's words in mind, they no longer showed obvious hostility, but instead competed secretly.

You trip me, I pull you... In short, everyone wants to have this 'top ten' spot.

Those who didn't understand what was going on, or who were overtaken by others at the beginning and pushed to the back, could only beat their chests and stamp their feet... regretting that they didn't try their best from the beginning.

He has been pushed to the edge. How could he dare to think about not resorting to force... or, to put it another way, squeeze back without bloodshed under the nose of an Uchiha?

That's Uchiha.

The Uchiha who is famous for his eye techniques!

Soon, the top ten stood out in this not-so-loud but very intense competition and filed in to register.

Only the 'losers' are left outside.

Some of them sighed, some beat their chests and stamped their feet...

Some even started to cry.

"What should I do? I didn't get it...wuwuwuwu, how can I dare to go back?"

But no matter what people's expressions were, no one looked like they were going to give up.

Until this time, observation

The family elites who witnessed the whole process still don’t know what happened.

Of course he wanted to find out, but his many years as a ninja also taught him that now was not a good time to go forward and snoop.

Let’s not talk about the obvious bad mood these people are in.

Just talking about the current situation where everyone is competing, those people will definitely not tell themselves - no one wants to have a strong competitor for no reason when they are competing for something.

Just when the family elite who had watched all this decided to go back to their residence and prepare for a protracted war, a familiar voice suddenly called him.

"Lord Mukaida! Why are you here?!"

A voice mixed with joy was heard, and the elite ninja turned around and saw one of his clansmen who had never returned, looking at him with surprise not far away.

That's right, the name of the family elite is 'Xiang Tian'. Although he looks inconspicuous, he is one of the strongest in the clan.

It was for this reason that the tribe sent him out to investigate why all the tribesmen who came here to inquire had disappeared.

Xiangtian was also surprised by this.

——He thought it would take some time to find out the information about the tribe members. Unexpectedly, he ran into the person involved the next day.

Even though he was as smart and steady as he was, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Of course, I was more surprised.

After all, this fellow of his seemed to be full of life and didn't seem to be in any trouble - you know, when he came, he had even prepared for the situation where all of his fellow tribesmen would be wiped out, or arrested and need him to rescue them.

But then again.

If the person is fine, how come there was no news passed back for so long?

"So you guys are okay?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's okay."

The tribesman who had lost contact before blinked, obviously not understanding why the other party asked this question.

"...Then why didn't you inform the clan!?"

Xiangtian said sharply

"Ah, that's right. Someone used an eagle's summoning beast to deliver information before, and as a result, many carrier pigeons were attacked. It almost caused a group fight. Then, after a few more incidents, most people's carrier pigeons and summoning beasts were injured. Miss Ugetsuki no longer allows non-working summoning beasts or carrier pigeons to appear nearby."

"If you want to send a letter, you can go to the letter delivery office in the city... But the delivery office is not well staffed, and they have to give priority to customers, so ninjas can only queue up... And we are also very

I'm busy, so I can't really spare the time to make a special trip."

He scratched the back of his head nonchalantly.

"After all, we also have assessments, and everyone is very pressed for time."

Xiang Tian couldn't help but get angry after listening to his messy and nonsensical words:

"Do you know that the tribe has been waiting for your information? You——"

"That's not important. The point is that it's great that you're here, sir!" The man unexpectedly interrupted Xiang Tian's reprimand, and then said excitedly: "Please wait for me for a while, let's complete a few more tasks, and get enough excellent scores, and then we can get the recommendation!"

"With a powerful ninja like you here, it will definitely be a great help! We will definitely come out on top next time!"

The man kept talking like a machine gun, not even giving the elite ninja a chance to ask questions.

Xiangtian was blocked for a long time, and finally he made a "pause" gesture while he was catching his breath:

"So what exactly are you talking about? What are you fighting for?"

"Ah." The ninja who had been excited for a long time suddenly remembered that he had not explained it yet.

"It means we can get a recommended seat to register without waiting in line!"

"Since we have already recruited quite a few ninjas, there are only a few new vacancies available... They are very popular."

Xiang Tian was not stupid, so he almost immediately connected the scene he had just seen with the words of his fellow tribesmen.

"So those people who were crowding at the door just now?"

"Yes, everyone is vying for a place to join."

As the man spoke, his expression contained a strange sense of superiority.

It's the kind of feeling that 'the spot you guys are fighting for, I've already taken it'.

At the same time, he was thankful for the umpteenth time that he was decisive enough and came early.

Otherwise, he would probably be one of the people who were squeezed to death.

As he does not think that he is stronger than those people, he will definitely be one of those who cannot get a spot day by day.

By then, I will spend the whole day in fear and anxiety.

It’s really scary just thinking about it.

Because he was too immersed in his own world, he forgot for a moment that Xiang Tian was around him.

Later, Xiang Tian couldn't help but speak:

"Is this why you haven't sent any letters to the tribe?!"

This is ridiculous! Just because of this reason!?

"How can you call

This is the reason! "

The ninja came to his senses and immediately retorted.

"We have finally got this opportunity! How can we not work hard to prove ourselves? If we are surpassed by those despicable guys, where will our family's reputation be? Are you going to be suppressed by other families?"

"Of course I don't want to... No , what does this have to do with passing on information?"

"Of course it matters. Those people are more hardworking than the others. After one mission, they immediately go out for another one. Some of them are cunning. There are even more than ten people from a family. We only have 25 people. If we don't want to be outdone, we have to work harder than them. In this case, it's normal that we don't have time to pass on information to the family, right?"

If it was a mission then it was indeed... No, he almost got led into a ditch by him.

"That doesn't mean there's really not even time to deliver a letter, does it?"

"That's not the case... But, if we are the only one passing on information when the ninjas from other families are not passing on information, who knows if Miss Ugetsuki will find out and eliminate us?"

Originally, the ninjas who came here were basically responsible for delivering information.

In other words, everyone here is a 'spy'.

But now they are in a state of competition with each other, and everyone else has behaved abnormally by "not passing on information", so they naturally don't dare to be the maverick one.

Who knows if there is a trap here?

For example, this is actually an inspection.

What we are testing is whether they really want to join, and not just come to gather information or do something bad.

And even though Miss Yu Yue didn't inform them, they knew about it.

Some familiar faces who once signed up together have disappeared without noticing.

There are tens of thousands of ninjas in the ninja world, and they all come from all over the world, so it is naturally impossible to have connections with all ninja clans.

Therefore, they have no way of verifying whether these 'disappeared faces' died or were repatriated.

With this kind of thing happening before, and before their position is unstable, they certainly cannot be kicked out because of this disclosure.

“…”

This time, Xiang Tian also fell silent.

He had to admit that his people's judgment was not wrong.

In this place where everything is unknown.

Being cautious and not doing anything out of the ordinary is the best strategy.

But then again.

"Are you really okay?"

Xiangtian looked at his fellow tribesman who looked energetic but had dark circles under his eyes.

“The work here doesn’t look easy.”

"It's not easy." The ninja murmured, "But here I can do a job I like more."
