Chapter 13: Didn't Captain Antelope Die for Nothing?
Yako searched the coastline carefully.
The last time Captain Antelope met with Squadron Captain Brown Bear was right here by the sea.
His efforts paid off. Yako found a shell half-buried in the sand, carved with three secret codes.
According to the code scroll, the first symbol indicated a time—the 11th of the following month. The second pointed northeast, and the final one stood for three kilometers.
The ninja world used a lunar calendar based on the waxing and waning of the moon. The 11th was only four days away from the full moon.
Yako did not dare act recklessly. He hid beneath the bushes in the coconut grove.
When the 11th arrived, Yako crawled out from under the bushes and hurried toward the location indicated by the markings.
Upon reaching his destination, Yako did not show himself rashly. Instead, he formed the Mizunoe hand seal and cast the Shadow Clone Technique.
The shadow clone left the shelter of the reef and walked out onto the sandy beach.
