Naruto Neji: I can see chakra!

Whoosh whoosh—

The scenery around them kept changing. The four of them were moving very fast, but they made very little noise. They did not attract the attention of any villagers from Konoha Village who might be passing by, and they soon arrived under the high wall that surrounded the entire Konoha Village.

Sarutobi Kuroishi waved his hand, indicating that the speed should not be reduced, and took out the entry and exit identification tokens, and everyone put them at hand.

The four entry and exit talismans that had no response on their own resonated when they approached the barrier, and a faint field unfolded, covering the four members of the Night Owl Team.

Without slowing down, he rushed past and only needed to jump down the high wall of Konoha Village.

boo——

Hyuga Neji felt a bit like his body passing through a layer of water film - of course, that was only because he had a keen chakra perception that was beyond ordinary people. Ordinary people would just feel nothing, just like passing through a layer of air, and would not experience anything.

After the four people left the village, they did not slow down. After identifying the direction, they rushed past in an assault formation. Hyuga Neji looked back slightly, his eyes wide open.

"Eye roll! Open!!!"

The boundless and huge surveillance barrier covering Konoha Village was revealed.

Every time people see it, they can't help but be shocked and marvel at the infinite power of ninja.

Countless sealing rune chains, any section of which was thicker than an adult's waist, were spread across the sky, and several huge Chinese characters [封] covered the entire Konoha Village, both above and below the ground.

This is the monitoring barrier of Konoha Village, which is unique in the entire ninja world. There is no other place that has such technology, such material consumption, and such a large number of ninjas deployed in rotation for constant monitoring.

Only Konoha Village is worthy of being the leader of the five biggest gangsters in the ninja world!

"They are all ninja villages, why is it that only Konoha Village has such a monitoring barrier? Either they all have it, or they don't! Haha, the other four ninja villages - oh no, their technology is one generation behind the entire ninja world..."

The border of the Fire Country, the border between the Grass Country and the Taki Country and the Fire Country, this place is Area 36 of the Fire Country Border.

Area 36 has always been controlled by a noble family named Kumagai, who assist the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in supervising and governing the area, as well as collecting taxes and developing it.

Although the area occupied by the Kumagai clan is not as large as those of the noble lords of the Wind Kingdom, it is located in a very critical place for the Fire Kingdom.

Since they are both on the border, of course there is a border patrol station in Konoha Village to monitor and patrol.

But as mentioned earlier, the borders of the Fire Nation are too vast, and the number of countries bordering it is too large.

It can be said to be the most essential place in the entire world and also the site of four wars.

So in this situation, the ninjas of Konoha Village came up with an idea. They formed small teams and, under the surveillance of the reconnaissance ninjas' reconnaissance ninjutsu, roughly wove a network with large gaps on the border.

In this case, as long as the large forces of each ninja village are of this level, there is no way to gather and cross the border without being discovered by the Konoha Village ninja.

However, if there are only a few enemy ninjas, or if they are divided into small groups and sneak through the border one by one with a long interval, the monitoring patrols of Konoha Village on the border of the Land of Fire will be powerless.

Moreover, in today's ninja world, the top political leaders of each country are undoubtedly called daimyo.

But the entire political structure is not centralized from top to bottom.

The daimyo only controlled the largest territories and mortal armies, and the rest of the places were inherited by the noble lord families.

The local noble lords also have their own armed forces, and generally obey most of the orders given by the Daimyo of Kyoto, the Land of Fire.

However, after the policy is implemented, the local nobles, lords and city lords will have their own ideas, and the specific intensity of implementation will be determined by themselves.

It is very island-like in character.

As for the local nobles, lords and city lords, the Hidden Leaf Village, as a purely military organization, cannot directly interfere with their command or punishment. It must obtain the endorsement of the Daimyo of Kyoto, the Land of Fire.

Otherwise it would be disloyalty!

Otherwise it is illegal!

As for the ninjas of Konohagakure Village, they are not army soldiers, but ninjas walking in the darkness who exist to complete commissions.

When they form a legion, it is only when they engage in large-scale battles and start wars between countries that they transform into soldiers - super-powered warriors, advancing towards the enemy at an unstoppable speed like a tidal wave.

The Kumagai family in Area 36 on the border of the Land of Fire is such a local lord with a great deal of autonomy.

In the ninja world, the world inside a walled city and the world outside the wall are two different worlds.

The Kumagai family lived in a castle mansion which covered a large area.

The castle here is not a stone castle like in the Western world, but more like a fortress built during wartime.

When it was still a few kilometers away from the castle, there were densely packed sentry boxes. Teams of Kumagai family soldiers, wearing standard linen clothes, carrying spears in their hands and short swords on their waists, were scattered at various intersections, checking the various ordinary people and merchants passing by the territory with vigilant eyes.

Inside the castle, there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. The entire castle is heavily guarded, and not even a fly is allowed to pass over the castle.

The entire territory is heavily guarded and seems impenetrable, with daunting security measures.

But this is only for mortals.

In the dim study, the current head of the Kumagai clan, Taro Kumagai, was sitting behind the desk with a solemn expression, looking at the thin piece of letter paper on the table.

He has watched it countless times in the past few days.

The family elder, Kumagai Shoichi, who stood quietly near the door with a sad face, looked as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant, unable to make up his mind.

"Shoichi, you don't need to persuade us anymore. After all, the adults of the Iwagakure Village have clearly passed on the current situation of Konoha Village to us, right? You also saw that even the strongest Hokage, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had led Konoha Village for decades, was killed by Orochimaru. This shows how weak Konoha Village is! They can't even protect their own Hokage in their lair! What on earth are these ninjas doing?"

Shoichi didn't say anything, and Kumagai Taro didn't care. As if to strengthen his choice and make his approach more convincing and well-founded, Kumagai Taro continued to mutter, "On the other hand, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth wholeheartedly supports the military development of the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, the Ninjago Ōnoki. In addition, the Third Tsuchikage has the unique Blood Elimination Dust Release in the hands of the Ninja World. I really can't imagine how Konoha Village can resist such a village in the next war!"

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became. By the end, his face flushed and his blood pressure rose!
