Fire Nation Frontier.

After leaving the Country of Sichuan, the air here immediately became fresher and no longer had the unique smell of wind and sand.

The ten teams were divided into ten areas, and Hinata Hikari and others started searching within this area.

A week-long carpet search was enough to catch the enemy's clues.

At noon, everyone stopped to rest by a creek.

Kato Dan took out a map and observed the area.

When his expression gradually became serious and he was lost in thought, Ye Song and others had already returned from fishing.

The food for lunch...is freshwater fish from the stream.

"Fire Escape: The Art of Fiery Flames!"

Hinata suddenly ejected a fireball, and the scorching flames blew past, and a row of grilled fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside was completed.

Kato Dan, who was looking at the map, raised his head and was a little surprised.

He had no idea that Hinata would use this method to grill fish.

Namikaze Minato and Nomatsu, on the other hand, looked unfazed and had obviously already adapted to it.

"Mr. Kato..."

The kind-hearted Minato Namikaze picked up a grilled fish and handed it to Kato Dan.

Kato Dan was stunned and immediately took it.

Based on his many years of experience in eating fish, this fish was grilled just right, with a crispy outside but tender inside.

But generally speaking, no ninja would use Fire Release to make food...

Because even for a C-level flame technique, the temperature of the flame is as high as over 1,000 degrees.

Not to mention other people, Kato Dan has never seen this kind of cooking method in his 26 years of life.

"Excellent..." Kato Dan praised Hinata Hikari without hesitation.

He was referring to Hinata Hikaru's control over ninjutsu chakra.

Kato Dan guessed that maybe... only the Hyuga clan ninjas with Byakugan could control the level of chakra so accurately.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Hinata Hikari.

With such a strong control talent, he will definitely become an excellent ninja in the future...

After enjoying the grilled fish, Kato Dan sat on the grass and pointed at the map in front of him.

One difficulty in their mission is that there is a town within the search range.

This town is quite developed.

In other words, there are a lot of people.

If the enemy does not hide in the natural environment, but wants to run into the town or even cause destruction in the town, it will be very dangerous.

"That's it..."

Namikaze Minato frowned.

Afterwards, everyone discussed for a while and turned their attention to Hinata.

There is no doubt that Hinata, who has the Byakugan, comes in handy at this time.

Use the Byakugan to scan the town in a wide range and distinguish each person's chakra.

The method is very good.

But enemies hiding in towns will inevitably try their best to hide their chakra.

Therefore, it takes extremely pure Byakugan to distinguish the difference between the chakra of ninjas and ordinary people.

Kato Dan doubted whether Hinata Hikaru, who was separated from the family, could do it.

"Of course I can~."

Hinata nodded.

It is her duty to protect civilians, because civilians are innocent, and she is happy to go to towns and cities to search for enemies.

"That's good..." Kato Dan nodded slightly suspiciously, and then began to assign tasks to the team.

The 4-person team was divided again into two groups.

In the first group, 2 people patrol the outside.

The second group, 2 people patrol the town.

If a situation is discovered, we will notify you immediately.

Notification? How to notify?

"Use my shadow clone." Kato Dan suggested.

He will release a shadow clone to stay here. The group that encounters a situation will immediately return to this position. The shadow clone can help defend against the enemy, or it can feedback information to the main body after being released.

When the time comes, Kato Dan will come from dozens of kilometers away and bring justice from heaven.

Use spiritual transformation that ignores distance to soul-strike the enemy.

Hinata was stunned by his eloquent words. After a while, Hinata blinked and said, "Spiritual Transformation Technique~?! So powerful~?!"

"hehe......"

Seeing Hikaru Hinata's cute appearance, Kato Suan couldn't help but smile.

"Next, I will show you the spiritual transformation technique and memorize your spiritual energy..."

Then, Kato made a hand seal that Hinata Hikari had never seen before.

"Spiritual transformation!"

After a low drink, Kato Dan, who was sitting on the ground, changed slightly.

Just like an out-of-body experience in a cartoon, a spiritual body...or soul body floats out of Kato Dan's body!

The spiritual body radiating white light looks like a ghost!

Hinata was dumbfounded.

She naturally knew that human beings have souls, but she never expected that their souls could actually leave the body~!!!

Kato Dan's soul glanced around the three of them, nodded, and then returned to his body. He had already memorized the spiritual energy of Hinata Hikaru, Namikaze Minato and Nomatsu.

From now on, no matter where they are in the world, he can use the spiritual transformation technique to make their souls come to them instantly.

This technique can not only be used to confirm the condition of living people, but also the dead!

Because of this, it is classified as an S-level ninjutsu!

Looking at the three little guys with surprised and shocked faces, Kato couldn't help but smile.

"You have also seen the seal of the spiritual transformation technique. It is very simple to do... The only difficulty is that learning this technique requires certain qualifications."

Because of this, ninjas who have learned the art of spiritual transformation are very rare.

A "qualification" will block 99.99% of people from the door.

"This is somewhat similar to the secret technique of the mountain clan~!" Hinata Hikaru suddenly shouted.

She thought of Yamanaka Shuichi's mind-turning technique, which also involves leaving one's spirit out of the body.

"That's right."

Kato nodded.

"But the acquisition difficulty and level of this technique are much more difficult than the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan."

The Yamanaka clan is a very famous clan in Konoha.

Although Inarakacho's name is not as resounding as that of later generations, it is still widely known, so Kato Dan didn't have any special reaction to Hinata Hikaru's sudden statement.

"Okay, now I will assign the members of the group..."

Kato Suan looked around.

"Hikari and I will form a team, responsible for patrolling the town... Minato Namikaze and Nomatsu will form a second team, responsible for patrolling the outside... How are you doing, are there any questions?"

"Yes, of course there is a problem...Jōnin Kato." Ye Song said in a very shameless manner.

Kato stopped sweating.

After that, he noticed that Nomatsu's eyes began to look sideways at Namikaze Minato...and Hinata Hikaru.

Kato Dan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized. "Oh oh oh~~~~, I understand..."

Hinata Hikaru didn't know what he understood.

"Then I will be in a team with Nomatsu, and Minato Namikaze and Hikari will be in a team..."

Kato Dan gently patted Namikaze Minato's shoulder, indicating that he understood again.

"Come on~."
Chapter completed!
