Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

After Minato and I went out, we headed towards the convoy in the village. Because of the transportation of goods, team leader Nakamura left half of his men to guard the convoy.

As the recipients of the mission, the three of us naturally had to keep an eye on the situation of the convoy, so Zhenyi stayed on guard at the convoy in the first half of the night.

Minato and I found Shinichi and explained the situation. To be honest, this temporary commission was not difficult for Shinichi and I, who were perception-type ninjas and whose strength was not inferior to that of ordinary Chunins. So Shinichi had no objection, but just told me to go and come back quickly so as not to delay the shift change in the second half of the night.

After coming out of the village, I observed the surrounding mountains and forests. This village is located at the foot of the mountain. The entrance of the village faces a main road, which is also a must-pass road to the capital of the Fire Nation. Therefore, there are many people coming and going, and it is unlikely that wild beasts that sneak into the village will be on this side.

Behind the village is a forest. Although it is not big, it surrounds half of the village. I look behind and see an endless series of undulating mountains.

However, from the description of the village chief Yosuke, with such frequent captures of pigs and sheep, the beasts that committed the crimes are unlikely to be too far away from the village. They should be in the mountains and forests next to the village.

For ordinary villagers, this mountain is neither big nor small, and it is indeed very difficult to find the wild beast in it. Even if they can find it, they may not be able to catch it.

But for me, who has the Byakugan with the pupil power of a Chunin level, it would only take me a meal's time to scan this forest of dozens of kilometers several times.

And because of the Byakugan's ability to see through things and see at night, nothing can escape my Byakugan unless there is special ninjutsu to cover it up.

In order to save time, Minato and I walked to about the middle of the forest, so that I could search more efficiently.

"Open your Byakugan!" I activated my chakra and pupil power. The veins at the corners of my eyes bulged slightly, and the originally dim forest appeared clearly in my eyes.

With the 360-degree all-round viewing angle and ultra-long-distance vision of the white eyes, the entire mountain forest is clearly presented in my eyes.

"Huh?" I let out a strange exclamation as I scanned the entire forest.

In the Byakugan's field of vision, ordinary things will be extracted into simple black and white lines, thereby simplifying the massive amount of information received by the caster. Only special energies such as chakra will show various colors. This is also one of the reasons why the Byakugan can become a top-level reconnaissance ninjutsu.

What surprised me was that in my field of vision, a calf-sized cat was quietly crawling under a huge rock in the forest.

What makes it different from other animals in the mountains and forests is that in our eyes, there are blue lines flowing in its body, which are the manifestation of chakra.

Of course, human ninjas are not the only ones who possess chakra in the ninja world. Other species also have the talent to practice chakra.

Not to mention the nine tailed beasts which are the aggregation of natural energy and chakra, there are also a large number of various summoning beasts and ninja beasts in the ninja world.

In addition to the three most famous holy places, the Toad Clan of Myoboku Mountain, the White Snake Clan of Ryuchi Cave, and the Slug Clan of the Wet Bone Forest, the Ninja Dogs of the Inuzuka Clan and the Ninja Cats of the Uchiha Clan are all animals with chakra.

But I was still surprised to find an animal with chakra in the mountains and forests near the village, which is not remote but has few ninjas. In the ninja world, ninja beasts with chakra are basically summoned beasts that have signed contracts with ninja families, and they are really rare in the wild.

No wonder the villagers couldn't do anything about it, and couldn't even find any traces of poaching in the village. After all, in my eyes, the amount of chakra of this animal has barely reached the level of a Genin, plus the agility and speed of the cat family itself, if it had no intention of hurting anyone, it's hard to say how many people in the village would have survived.

Once we find its location, the rest of the things will be easy. Whether it is Minato or me, dealing with a ninja beast whose strength has barely reached the Genin level can be said to be a piece of cake.

However, as a relatively rare wild ninja beast, and the Hyuga clan did not have a contract for summoning beasts, I thought I could just capture it alive and tame it, then return to Konoha and give it to Ling as a pet. After all, with Ling's talent and qualifications, it is already good enough for her to become a Chunin, and having a summoning beast to protect her is also a guarantee.

I gestured to Minato, circulated my chakra and flew towards the ninja beast in the mountains, and soon reached the treetop where it lived.

We finally saw its full appearance. Under the dim starlight, there lay a tiger as big as a calf. However, from its hair and body shape, we could tell that it was not yet an adult and was still in the growth stage.

We were observing the tiger cub from a high vantage point. It was lying in the forest and suddenly it raised its head and looked around alertly. With Minato's and my physical skills, it was impossible for it to find us. It seemed that its biological instinct was very sharp.

Since it was alert, I didn't hide anymore. I jumped down from the treetop and punched it on the back with a soft fist.

The young tiger was worthy of the title of the king of the forest. With my speed, ordinary Genin would lose the ability to resist before they had even a chance to react. Although this young tiger had no time to dodge, it still stretched its body and hit me like a long-tailed whip.
