In this village, patrolling ninjas usually work in teams of two, with a total of six groups taking turns patrolling.

If the assassination is to succeed, the two wandering ninjas must be killed at the same time in an instant. Otherwise, if one of the wandering ninjas shouts out, hundreds of wandering ninjas living in the densely packed tents around may swarm over. At that time, I am afraid that the only choice is to face them head-on.

At this time, the voices of a group of wandering ninjas not far from where they were hiding came with the wind. "Brother, this is my first time here today. Is there anything I need to pay attention to when patrolling?" The young voice asked with some trepidation.

"Talk less, observe more, stay alert at all times, and report to me directly if there is any sign of trouble." The eldest brother's voice was steady and powerful.

After hearing this conversation, Dawn came up with a plan in his mind. He moved closer to Minato and whispered, "Captain, I have an idea that may work."

Then, he told Minato his idea. After listening to him, Minato pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes: "Then let's try it. If we fail, we will be ready for a head-on confrontation."

Afterwards, Poxiao and Minato quietly approached the patrolling group of wandering ninjas. Poxiao took the opportunity to carefully observe the behavior of the young ninja behind him. Then Poxiao used his natural phantom skill to transform into the appearance of the young ninja. At the same time, Minato also quietly buried the specially made kunai on the patrol route. Everything was ready, just waiting for the arrival of the patrol team.

"Three, two, one." When the young ninja at the back of the patrol team stepped over the position of Minato's special kunai, Dawn immediately cast a look at Minato. Minato instantly appeared behind the ninja, beheaded him with lightning speed, and then turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared without a trace.

The ninja in front noticed something was wrong and turned around in a hurry, only to see that Dawn had used his natural phantom to transform into the appearance of the young ninja, sitting on the ground and muttering in annoyance: "Oh, what bad luck, I fell on the first night of patrol."

The ninja looked at him, then looked around, and asked in confusion: "Did you notice anything unusual just now?"

Poxiao shook his head, and then as if he had thought of something, he said, "There's nothing unusual, but I was careless when I fell just now, and I seemed to see a dark shadow passing by."

When Dawn said this, the ninja's heart tightened and he blurted out: "Enemy attack!"

This shout exploded like thunder in the night sky. When the five groups of personnel in charge of other patrol routes tonight heard the enemy attack, they had no time to think about it. They all became alert and shouted in unison: "Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, the whole village fell into chaos. The ninjas in the tents rushed out one after another. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, came quickly and asked in a stern voice, "What happened? Kawasaki, did you find anything?"

The wandering ninja in the Dawn Breaking Group hurriedly explained, "Leader, we felt something strange while we were on patrol. It seemed that a dark shadow passed by over there."

The leader's face was solemn: "We have distinguished guests coming tonight, so there must be no mistakes tonight! Everyone, go check it out!"

The ninjas immediately started a carpet search in that direction. After a while, someone reported back:

"Chief, I don't find anything unusual here."

"I am here too."

…Only one ninja said, “I saw a rabbit and I’ve dealt with it.”

The leader looked at Kawasaki in confusion: "Are you sure you saw the shadow passing by?"

Kawasaki scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Actually... Chief, it's not me who saw it, it's this guy." He pointed at Dawn.

The leader frowned and looked towards Dawn: "Did you really see a shadow?"

Poxiao nodded, looking sincere: "I did see it, but I'm not sure if it was an enemy attack. Brother Kawasaki reminded me to pay more attention, so I..."

"Okay, make sure to read carefully before reporting next time." The leader waved his hand to interrupt Poxiao's words and turned back to the tent.

Other ninjas who were searching also returned one after another, and each of them glared at Kawasaki as they passed by, obviously unhappy with this blunder.

Kawasaki could only apologize to everyone with a smile, but turned around and put on a stern face to teach Poxiao a lesson: "You have really hurt me this time! You should watch carefully next time!" Poxiao nodded repeatedly, then continued to patrol behind Kawasaki.

However, not long after, another patrol ninja team cried out that they were attacked by the enemy. The ninjas rushed out of the tent again, only to see that the patrol team had tied up the "suspicious person".

The leader recognized the tied man at a glance and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

A ninja explained, "Chief, we spotted a dark figure sneaking around, so we reported the enemy attack. Then two of us went forward to delay him and prevent him from escaping, but who knew that as soon as we rushed forward, he chose to surrender."

The leader turned to look at Kawasaki and said, "Come out and see if this is your little brother?"

Kawasaki pulled Poxiao out of the crowd, saying, "Chief, this is impossible. My people have been following me all the time, not even a step away."

At this moment, Dawn, who was being dragged by Kawasaki, turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared. When Kawasaki looked at the tied man carefully, he found that the man was his little brother during the patrol.

"You...why are you here?" Kawasaki asked in surprise.

"Um... Brother, I just had a stomachache. I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I used my shadow clone to follow you, and then I... I'm really sorry, Brother, for causing you trouble." Poxiao said embarrassedly.

"You!" Kawasaki was so angry at Poxiao that he couldn't speak, but the leader interrupted his scolding: "Enough! Teach him the rules yourself! Since you two are patrolling so passionately, the other patrol teams will go back and rest tonight. You two will be fully responsible for tonight's patrol. In addition, the distinguished guests have arrived, so don't be so startled!" Then he turned and went into his tent.

"You kid, you've really hurt me. I haven't offended you before, right? Why are you treating me like this?" Kawasaki said to Poxiao.

"Brother, I really didn't play a trick on you. These two times were just accidents, accidents." Poxiao explained awkwardly.

Kawasaki sighed, his voice full of helplessness and grief: "I have worked diligently for more than ten years, but because of the two accidents you caused today, my image of being diligent and conscientious in the leader's mind may no longer exist. I used to be cautious in my words and deeds when dealing with people, and I was even more careful in my dealings with others. After the two things you did to me today, people in the village have some malice towards me."

"Brother, I..." Seeing that Poxiao was hesitant to speak, Kawasaki said, "Just say whatever you want to say, don't hesitate."

"I seem to see another black shadow..." said Poxiao. However, Kawasaki no longer believed his words. Just as he was about to continue to teach Poxiao, he heard a cold sound of breaking through the air behind him, followed by Minato's fierce attack - Flying Thunder God Slash!

At the last moment of his life, Kawasaki saw Dawn returning to its original appearance. He squatted down, smiled and said, "I told you there was a shadow a long time ago, why didn't you believe it?" At this moment, Kawasaki finally understood the truth, but he no longer had the ability to say the words "enemy attack".
