Escape From Konoha

Starting from the entrance of Konoha Village at noon, it would take at least ten hours to travel to the frontline battlefield of the Land of Fire.

In the evening, Shiraishi and his group of six found a piece of terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack and rested for the night, preparing to start the next morning, and then in the evening of the next day, they should be able to reach the Konoha camp on the front line.

In this ninja war between Sandyin and Konoha, the border line is at the border between the Kingdom of River and the Kingdom of Fire.

This is a small country that lives between the country of fire and the country of wind. The north is adjacent to the country of rain. There is a certain amount of ninja power in the country, but the organized ninja villages are too weak. Also not famous.

Therefore, in this war, the power of the ninja in the country of the river is almost negligible.

The six people are resting in the open space, but the desire to communicate with each other is not very strong.

After a long journey, everyone was already tired, and they all hoped to have a good rest.

Second, the two teams are not very familiar with each other.

Maybe Jiraiya and Sakumo have a good relationship, but there is no connection between Shiraishi and Minato.

Even if they knew each other, they only heard each other's names by chance. They were nodding acquaintances, not even ordinary friends.

"His strength is very strong."

Bai Shi, who was leaning against a big tree, was frowning and contemplating the matter of natural energy, when Liu Li suddenly said this.

"what?"

Shiraishi finished thinking and raised his head subconsciously.

"This guy has no flaws in his body. Even when he is resting, he chooses terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he judges it at the first time. It can be seen that his analytical skills are also first-class. Facing Mr. Sakumo He didn't appear to be arrogant or impetuous, and was not overwhelmed by Mr. Sakumo's aura. He was very confident in his own strength."

Shiraishi understood who Ruri was talking about, it was Namikaze Minato on the other side.

Shiraishi nodded in agreement with Liu Li's evaluation.

How can a ninja who can be brought by Sannin be so simple?

What's more, at the ninja school, the other party has already emerged, and he is a well-known genius.

According to Shiraishi's estimation, Minato's current strength is likely to have reached the level of Joinin.

"But compared to you, Liuli, it should be a little worse."

Ayane said with a smile.

Ruri's strength in Sakumo's team is second only to that of the leader, Sakumo. In addition to the excellent bloodstaining ability of the Uchiha clan, it is generally difficult for Joinin to obtain benefits from Ruri.

"This kind of thing can only be known after one fight."

Although Liuli was proud, she felt that Minato, who could follow Sannin, was not comparable to a normal Jōnin.

However, Liuli is also very confident in her own strength, especially after she has mastered natural energy, her physical skills alone will give ninjas of the upper ninja level a headache.

What's more, in the battle, you should always pay attention to her writing wheel eyes.

Overall, if a battle does occur, Ruri doesn't think that she has the possibility of losing.

But it is also a fact that the opponent's strength is not bad.

If the situation allows, I really want to try it out. At this time, it is more appropriate to restrain this kind of place a little.

"Okay, it's almost time for patrol."

At this time, Shiraishi got up and ended the topic about Minato.

Even though the last mission annihilated an elite unit of Sandyin, there has been no news of the destruction in the land of fire recently, but it cannot be relaxed.

As long as you leave the village to perform tasks, you must pay 200% attention to prevent accidents from happening.

The patrol mission of the Sakumo squad has always been a team of two.

Shiraishi and Ayane were in charge of the first half of the night, while Ruri and Sakumo were in charge of the second half of the night.

Now that the sky is almost dark, Shiraishi and Ayane have also started their patrol work in the first half of the night, to check around to see if there are any enemies lurking.

Nodding at Ruri, Shiraishi and Ayane disappeared from the spot and started patrol work.

Liuli glanced at the backs of the two and said nothing.

The task of patrolling is relatively simple for Shiraishi's group. After all, there is Ayane's white eyes. Within a radius of five kilometers, as long as there is an enemy approaching here, there will be nowhere to hide in the white eyes.

Although it cannot be compared with Perception Ninja in terms of range, Perception Ninjutsu can only determine the distance, direction and number of targets, while Baiyan's omni-directional monitoring ability can know what moves the enemy uses to attack, and what means they need to use. Take advantage of the enemy and quickly suppress the enemy's morale.

It is precisely because of Baiyan's credit that Konoha can avoid the traps carefully designed by the enemy in every war, making any conspiracy and tricks of the enemy invalid.

"It's almost here."

In another forest, Shiraishi stopped.

Ayane has rolled her eyes, as long as anyone approaches here, she will be discovered by her.

Next, they only need to circle around regularly to complete the patrol mission in the first half of the night.

Shiraishi took out a note from the ninja bag and put it in Ayane's hand.

Ayane tilted her head incomprehensibly, but she still held it in her hand, looked left and right, found nothing abnormal, and opened the note.

It says - Are there toads around?

"..."

Toad?

Ayane didn't quite understand why Shiraishi asked such a question, so she just shook her head slightly.

There are quite a few insects around, but the closest toad is more than 100 meters away from here, and it is still in the river.

"It looks like there are no toads."

"Yes, there are no traces of toads around. But why should Shiraishi-kun pay special attention to toads?"

Ayane blinked and asked her doubts.

"That's because a lot of toads suddenly appeared in Konoha Village recently. I'm worried that someone is setting up their eyes and ears."

"Set ears and eyes with toads?"

"Well, it's very likely that Jiraiya Jonin, one of the three ninjas, did this. I heard that he signed a psychic contract with a toad in Miaomu Mountain. And a toad, an inconspicuous creature, is very easy to do. It's very convenient to collect information when ignored by others, isn't it?"

This is the reason why Liuli cultivated cats. It cannot be ruled out that some people are using toads to collect information.

"Are you looking for something?"

Ayane looked thoughtful.

"It's not very clear, maybe it's monitoring something. Anyway, the toad thing has nothing to do with us. At most, when we exchange information in the future, just pay attention."

"That's true, indeed."

Ayane nodded understandingly.

There is no abnormal situation around them, and there is no Anbu monitoring, which means that the secret between them has not been exposed.

Excessive actions will only superfluous and cause unnecessary attention.

Even if something unexpected happens at this time, just keep the usual rhythm.

"By the way, there is one more troublesome thing to explain to you."

Shiraishi scratched his head and sighed helplessly, not knowing how to speak for a while.

"trouble?"

"Ah, it has something to do with Liuli."

Shiraishi's eyes glanced away unnaturally.

Ayane thought of a possibility.

"Shouldn't it be..."

"As you think, our affairs have been exposed. So when the three of them act in the future, I don't need to deliberately hide my strength, and I will fight with all my strength."

Shiraishi continued to scratch his head, feeling that things were getting more and more troublesome.

Because of Liuli's specific attitude towards this matter, he couldn't guess any useful information at all.

But that's fine. When the three of them act in groups in the future, he doesn't need to hide his strength to cover up anything.

This might be a better way to complete the task.

After that, as long as the credit goes to Ruri and Ayane, he will continue to be an inconspicuous little transparent.

After all, safety comes first.

"That's it."

Ayane lowered her head slightly, so that no one could see her expression.

I didn't ask why it was exposed, because this kind of question has become meaningless.

So next, you just need to relax your mind and get along with each other.

But thinking about it this way makes me a little unwilling.

I should have been the first to come into contact with Shiraishi-kun's real secret, right? Ayane thought a little worried.

"Well, are you okay?"

Seeing Ayane lowering her head, Shiraishi was a little worried that she would be thinking wildly.

"No, it's nothing. Actually, I also think that Shiraishi-kun should have confessed to Liuli earlier."

Ayane raised her head and smiled. She had already sorted out her disappointment and didn't show it on her face. As for what she was thinking, only she herself knew.

I couldn't read anything from Ayane's smiling face, but she really grew a lot compared to before.

Therefore, it is better to end this topic as soon as possible.

I always feel that if we continue this topic and talk about another woman in front of one woman, things will become extremely terrifying.

After that, Shiraishi gave Ayane the cultivation method of natural energy, as well as the supplementary medicine.

Let her use the natural energy freely as soon as possible.

To be honest, among the three of them, it is likely that Ayane is the one who is most taken care of by natural energy.

Because the main fighting method of the Hinata clan is taijutsu, which is the soft boxing technique used in conjunction with Baiyan.

Shiraishi couldn't guess to what extent Ayane could increase the power of the soft fist after mastering the natural energy, but the benefits he received after receiving the natural energy were definitely above him and Liuli.

Shiraishi is looking forward to how Ayane's strength will rise with her natural energy and soft boxing.

When Ayane got the thing, she didn't immediately start training here, but started patrolling around with Shiraishi.

No problems were found during the patrol in the first half of the night, but since the Jiraiya team also intervened in the patrol team, at night, the patrol period was divided into three sections.

So Shiraishi and Ayane ended their patrol mission two hours earlier than usual and returned to the camp to rest.

The night passed and nothing happened.

In the early morning of the second day, a group of six set off again.

He had been on the road during the day, and when it was almost evening, he finally arrived at the border area between the land of fire and the land of rivers.

The general base of Konoha's attack against Sandyin was stationed here.

There are more than 2,000 Konoha ninjas here, and the commander is Orochimaru, who is the same as Jiraiya, and Tsunade is the deputy commander, assisting Orochimaru.

Even so, the battle situation on the front line should not be underestimated.

After a strict review, the Konoha ninja guarding the large camp began to let go.

After entering the camp, Shiraishi felt a depressing atmosphere completely different from that of Konoha Village.

A paramedic who carried the wounded into the camp on a stretcher.

Gathering in twos and threes next to the tent, ninjas holding simple hot food in their hands, with a numb face, ate the food in their hands dryly.

Then I don't know if it was because they couldn't eat it, or the food was too unpalatable. Many ninjas vomited directly, beat their chests and started pouring water.

When passing through the medical area, I could hear the pain and screams of evil spirits constantly coming from the tent.

Everyone's nerves were tense to the extreme. With just one detonating device, they could detonate the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in their hearts and collapse on the spot.

This is war.

Sakumo and Jirai also need to meet Commander Orochimaru, while Shiroishi and Minato need to wait outside the camp.

The waiting time was not long. About a few minutes later, Sakumo came out of the tent with an extra scroll in his hand, which recorded the tasks that Sakumo's team had to complete.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

Time was running out, and Sakumo was going to explain the mission to Shiroishi and the three of them on the way.

"Then, we'll meet again next time, Watergate."

"Okay, bye. Please be careful."

Facing Shiraishi's kind farewell, Minato also smiled slightly and watched Sakumo's team leave the camp.

◎

"Next, we will divide our troops into two groups, and the task is to cut off the supply of Shayin."

Without wasting time, about a few kilometers away from Konoha Camp, Sakumo stopped in a river valley and briefly described the content of the mission.

"Is it just our team?"

The three of Shiraishi were slightly taken aback.

"There will be Anbu on the way to assist. Another point is that this mission is of great importance, and no whereabouts can be revealed. Therefore, once you meet someone who is not your own on the way... Kill them all!"

Sakumo's face was cold, and Shiraishi's heart was awe-inspiring.

The supply line of Shayin Village cannot be placed in the land of fire. They have to enter the country of Chuan to cut off the supply line of Shayin.

That is to say... Even if you encounter ordinary people in the country of Chuan, you must clean them up without leaving behind to prevent their whereabouts from being leaked.

"From this direction, about fifteen kilometers away, there will be a team of Anbu."

Sakumo pointed to the southwest direction.

The three of Shiroishi looked in the direction Sakumo pointed, and further ahead was the region of the Kingdom of Rivers, which did not belong to the Kingdom of Fire.

"If you understand, start taking action."

After Sakumo finished speaking, he disappeared from the other direction.

The three of Shiraishi looked at each other, and they could see the solemn look in each other's eyes.

Not only did he issue a cruel order to wipe out all the witnesses, but the goal of the mission was to cut off the supply of Sandyin. No matter how you looked at it, it was an S-level mission that was extremely difficult.

Even with Anbu's assistance, this mission is fraught with danger.

Shiraishi sighed and said: "Don't worry too much. Since the above gave me such a task, it means that this task is possible to complete. The most important thing now is to join the Anbu staff."

Indeed, although Sakumo gave them three tasks, the specific task steps were not given.

It can be understood that Sakumo has his own mission, and he only knows so much.

The three of Shiraishi needed to meet with Anbu staff in order to know how to proceed with the next mission and cooperate with Anbu.

Ruri and Ayane had no objection, so they acted immediately.

It took ten minutes to arrive at a distance of fifteen kilometers to the southwest.

As Sakumo said, Anbu with Konoha was dormant there, and there were four people in total.

But there is one thing that is rather strange~www.NovelMTL.com~ and that is the masks on these Anbu faces, which are slightly different from the masks worn by Anbu ninjas that Shiraishi had seen before.

The mask patterns on the faces of these Anbu ninjas give people a feeling of depression and gloom.

Especially the eyes behind the mask, cold and ruthless, without emotional fluctuations, like a group of machines.

"You are……"

"We are the ninjas of Anbu's 'Root'. This time, we will cooperate with you in the task of cutting off the supply of Sandyin."

The leader of them came out and said indifferently to the three of Shiraishi.

"root?"

Regarding the doubts of the three of Shiraishi, the leading ninja did not explain anything, and continued to say in an indifferent tone: "The three of you are responsible for feinting and attracting the attention of the enemy, and we are responsible for the destruction."

Saying that, the leading ninja lifted his shirt, and the 'explosive' character paper was densely attached to his body.

The same is true for the three ninjas behind him, raising their shirts, and the detonating amulet is densely attached to their skin.

"..."

"So, once the feint plan is successful, you must find a way to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible and escape from it. Because all of us are wearing special detonators, which are very powerful. Don't blame us for not reminding us if we die accidentally. "

"..."

It seems that in this mission, compared to Sandy Ninja, he is the one who should be most vigilant.

Who is a normal person who would stick a detonating talisman on his body that could detonate at any time?

A bunch of lunatics! The three of Shiraishi felt pain in their heads.

The three of them suddenly had an urge to get away from these lunatics immediately, lest one of these people operate improperly, improvise an explosive art and send them all to the sky.
