_____________________________________
Starting from the entrance of Konoha Village at noon, it would take at least ten hours to travel to the frontline battlefield of the Fire Nation.
In the evening, Baishi and his group of six found a piece of terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and rested overnight, preparing to start again in the early morning of the next day, and then by the evening of the next day, they should be able to reach the front-line Konoha Camp.
In this ninja war between Sand Hidden and Konoha, the border line is at the border between the Kingdom of Kawa and the Kingdom of Fire.
This is a small country living between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. The north is adjacent to the Land of Rain. There is a certain amount of ninja power in the country, but the organized ninja villages are too weak and have no reputation in the ninja world.
Therefore, in this war, the ninja power of Kawa no Nation is almost negligible.
The six of them were resting in the open space, but their desire to communicate with each other was not very strong.
After traveling for half a day, everyone was already exhausted, and they all hoped to have a good rest.
Secondly, 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 the other person's name by chance. They could be regarded as nodding acquaintances, not even ordinary friends.
"He's very powerful."
Baishi, who was leaning against a big tree, was frowning and meditating on natural energy, when Liuli next to him suddenly said this.
"What?"
Baishi finished thinking, and raised his head subconsciously.
"This guy has no flaws in his whole body. Even when he was resting, he chose a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He judged it immediately, which shows that his analytical ability is also top-notch. When facing Teacher Shuo Mao, he did not appear arrogant or impetuous. He was not overwhelmed by Teacher Shuo Mao's aura. He is very confident in his own strength."
Shiraishi understood who Liuli was talking about, and it was Namikaze Minato on the other side.
Regarding Liuli's evaluation, Baishi nodded in agreement.
How can a ninja who can be brought by Sannin be so simple?
What's more, when he was in the ninja school, the other party had already emerged, and he was a well-known genius.
According to Shiraishi's estimate, Minato's current strength may have reached the level of a jounin.
"But compared to you, Liuli, you should be worse."
Ayane said with a smile at this time.
Ruri's strength in Sakumo's team is second only to the captain Sakumo, plus the excellent blood-staining ability of the Uchiha clan, it is generally difficult for ninja to get benefits from Ruri.
"This kind of thing can only be known after one fight."
Although Liuli is proud, she feels that Minato, who can follow Sannin, is not comparable to ordinary ninja.
However, Liuli is also very confident in her own strength, especially after mastering the natural energy, the physical ability alone must have caused a headache for ninjas at the upper ninja level.
What's more, during the battle, one must always pay attention to her Sharingan.
On the whole, if a battle really happens, Liuli doesn't think she has the possibility of losing.
But it is also a fact that the opponent's strength is not bad.
If the situation permits, I really want to test it out. At this time, in this kind of place, it's better to exercise a little restraint.
"Alright, it's almost time for patrol."
At this moment, Shiraishi got up and ended the topic of Minato.
Even though the last mission wiped out an elite army of Sand Hidden, there has been no news of damage in the Land of Fire recently, but we cannot relax because of this.
As long as you leave the village to perform tasks, you must pay 200% of your attention to prevent accidents from happening.
Shuo Mao's patrol missions have always been in teams of two.
Shiraishi and Ayane are in charge of the first half of the night, Liuli and Sakumo are in charge of the second half of the night.
Now that the sky was almost dark, Shiraishi and Ayane also started their patrol work in the first half of the night, patrolling around to see if there were any enemies lurking.
Nodding to Liuli, Shiraishi and Ayane disappeared from the spot and started patrol work.
Liuli glanced at the backs of the two of them, but said nothing.
The task of patrolling is relatively simple for Baishi's group. After all, with Ayane's white eyes, within a radius of five kilometers, as long as there are enemies approaching here, they will appear in the white eyes without hiding.
Although it can't compare with the perception ninja in terms of range, perception ninjutsu can only determine the distance, direction, and number of targets, while Baiyan's all-round surveillance ability can know what moves the enemy is using to attack him, and what methods his side needs to use to control the enemy and quickly suppress the enemy's morale.
It is precisely because of Bai Yan's contribution that Konoha can avoid the enemy's well-designed traps in every battle, making any enemy's plots and schemes ineffective.
"It's almost here."
In another forest, Baishi stopped.
Ayane has rolled her eyes, as long as anyone approaches this place, she will be noticed.
Next, they only need to turn 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.
Ayayin tilted her head incomprehensibly, but she still held it in her hand, looked around and found nothing unusual before opening 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 bugs around, but the nearest toad is more than a hundred meters away, and it's still in the river.
"It seems that there are no toads."
"Yes, there are no traces of toads around. But, why does Mr. Baishi care so much about toads?"
Ayane blinked her eyes, and asked the doubts in her heart.
"That's because a lot of toads have suddenly appeared in Muye Village recently. I'm worried that someone is setting eyes and ears."
"Arranging ears and eyes with toads?"
"Well, the one who did this was probably Jiraiya Jōnin, one of the three ninjas. I heard that he signed a psychic contract with the toad on Mt. Myoki. And the toad is such an inconspicuous creature, it's easy to be overlooked. It's very convenient to collect information, isn't it?"
This is the reason why Liuli raised the cat. It cannot be ruled out that someone is using the toad to gather information.
"Are you looking for something?"
Ayane showed a pensive expression.
"It's not very clear, maybe it's monitoring something. Anyway, the matter of the toad has nothing to do with us. At most, we should pay attention to it when exchanging information in the future."
"So that's the case, indeed."
Ayane nodded understandingly.
There is no abnormal situation happening around them, and there is no secret department to monitor, which means that the secret between them has not been exposed.
Excessive actions will only add to the liking and attract unnecessary attention.
At this time, even if something unexpected happens, just keep the usual rhythm.
"By the way, there is one more troublesome thing to explain to you."
Baishi scratched his head, sighed helplessly, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
"trouble?"
"Ah, it has something to do with Liuli."
Baishi glanced away unnaturally.
Ayane thought of a possibility.
"Could it be..."
"It's just as you think, our affairs have been exposed. So when the three of us act in the future, I don't need to deliberately hide my strength, and I will fight with all my strength."
Baishi 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 good too. In the future, when a group of three acts together, he doesn't need to hide his strength to cover up anything.
This might be able to complete the task better.
Afterwards, as long as the credit goes to Liuli 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 in the future, you just need to relax and get along with each other.
But when I think about it this way, I feel a little bit unwilling.
It should be me who was the first to come into contact with Mr. Baishi's real secret, right? Ayane thought with some distress.
"Well, are you okay?"
Seeing the movement of Ayane lowering her head, Baishi was a little worried that she would be thinking wildly.
"No, it's nothing. In fact, I also think that Mr. Baishi should confess to Liuli earlier."
Ayayin raised her head and smiled. She had packed up her disappointment and didn't show it on her face. As for what was going on in her heart, only she knew.
Can't read anything from Ayane's smiling face, compared to before, she has grown a lot.
Therefore, it is better to end this topic as soon as possible.
I always feel that if we continue this kind of topic and talk about another woman in front of one woman, things will become extremely scary.
Afterwards, Shiraishi gave Ayane the cultivation methods of natural energy and auxiliary medicines.
Let her use the natural energy freely as soon as possible.
To be honest, among the three of them, it is very likely that Ayane is the one who receives the most care from the natural energy.
Because the main fighting method of the Hyuga clan is Taijutsu, that is, the soft fist method used in conjunction with Baiyan.
Baishi couldn't guess to what extent Ayane could increase the power of Soft Fist after mastering the natural energy, but the benefits he received after receiving the natural energy were definitely greater than him and Liuli.
Baishi is looking forward to what level Ayane's strength will rise to using natural energy and soft fist.
After receiving the item, Ayane didn't immediately start practicing here, but started patrolling around with Baishi.
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, the patrol period was divided into three periods at night.
So Shiraishi and Ayane finished their patrol two hours earlier than usual and returned to the camp to rest.
The night passed, and nothing happened.
In the early morning of the next day, a group of six people set off again.
He had been on his way during the day, and finally arrived at the border area where the Land of Fire and the Kingdom of Sichuan bordered on the evening.
The general base of Konoha's troops against Sand Hidden is stationed here.
There are more than 2,000 Konoha ninjas here, and the commander is Orochimaru, who is also a Sannin with Jiraiya, and Tsunade is the deputy commander, assisting Orochimaru in his work.
Even so, the situation on the front line should not be underestimated.
After a strict review, the Konoha ninjas who guarded the large camp began to let them go.
After entering the camp, Baishi felt a depressive atmosphere completely different from that of Muye Village.
The paramedics carried the wounded into the tent on a stretcher.
Gathered in twos and threes next to the tent, the ninjas were holding simple hot food in their hands, with a numb and thin face, eating 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 began to gulp water.
When they passed the medical area, they could still hear the howls of pain like ghosts coming from the camp.
Everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme. There was only one detonation device that could detonate the negative emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time and collapse on the spot.
This is war.
Sakumo and Jiraiya also need to meet with Commander Orochimaru. The three of Shiraishi and Minato need to wait outside the camp.
The waiting time was not long. About a few minutes later, Shuo Mao came out of the tent, holding an extra scroll in his hand, which recorded the tasks that Shuo Mao's team had to complete.
"let's go."
"yes."
Time was running out, and Shuo Mao was going to explain the mission content to Baishi and the other three while he was on his way.
"Then, we will meet next time, Minato."
"Okay, goodbye. Please be careful."
Facing Shiraishi's kind farewell, Minato also smiled slightly, and watched Shuo Mao's team leave the camp with four members.
◎
"Next, we will divide into two groups. The task is to cut off the supply of Sha Yin."
Without wasting time, Shuomo stopped in a river valley about a few kilometers away from the Konoha camp, and briefly described the content of the mission.
"Is it just our team?"
Baishi and the others were slightly taken aback.
"Anbu will assist you on the way. Another point is that this mission is of great importance, and you cannot reveal any whereabouts. Therefore, if you encounter someone other than your own on the way... kill them all!"
Shuo Mao had a cold face, while Baishi and the other three had awe-inspiring hearts.
It is impossible for the supply line of Hidden Sand Village to be placed within the territory of the Fire Country. They have to enter the Kingdom of Rivers to cut off the supply line of Hidden Sand.
That is to say... Even if you encounter ordinary people in the country of Sichuan, you must clean up every one of them to prevent their whereabouts from being leaked.
"From this direction, about fifteen kilometers away, there will be a team of Anbu to respond."
Shuo Mao pointed to the southwest direction.
Shiraishi and the others looked in the direction Sakumo pointed, and further ahead was the Land of River, which was not within the scope of the Land of Fire.
"If you understand, let's start to act."
After Shuo Mao finished speaking, he disappeared from another direction.
The three of Baishi looked at each other, and they could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Not only was the cruel order to wipe out all witnesses issued, but the goal of the mission was to cut off the supply of Sand Hidden. No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely difficult S-rank mission.
Even with Anbu's assistance, this mission is full of danger.
Baishi breathed out and said, "Don't worry too much. Since the higher-ups have given me such a task, it means that it is possible to complete this task. The most important thing now is to meet up with the Anbu personnel."
Indeed, although Shuo Mao gave the three of them a mission, the specific steps of the mission were not given.
It can be understood that Shuo Mao has his own mission, and he only knows so much.
The three of Baishi need to meet up with the Anbu personnel so that they can know how to proceed with the next mission and cooperate with the Anbu.
Liuli and Ayane had no objections, so they acted immediately.
Fifteen kilometers to the southwest, it took more than ten minutes to arrive.
Sure enough, as Sakumo said, there was Konoha's Anbu dormant here, and there were four of them in total.
But there is one strange thing, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, that is, the masks worn by Anbu's faces are slightly different from the masks worn by Anbu ninjas Shiraishi has seen before.
The mask patterns on the faces of these Anbu ninjas give people a feeling of depression and coldness.
Especially the eyes behind the mask are cold and heartless, without any emotional fluctuations, just like a group of machines.
"You are..."
"We are the ninjas of Anbu's 'Root', and we will cooperate with you in this task of cutting off the supplies of Sand Hidden."
The leader among them came out and said indifferently to Baishi and the others.
"root?"
Regarding the doubts of Baishi and the other three, the leading ninja did not explain anything, and continued to say in a nonchalant tone: "The three of you will be responsible for the feint for the next move, to attract the attention of the enemy, and we will be responsible for the destruction."
As he said that, the leading ninja lifted his shirt, and the 'Explosion' character paper was densely pasted on his body.
The three ninjas behind him did the same. They lifted their shirts, and their skins were densely covered with detonating charms.
"..."
"So, once the feint attack 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 detonating charms, which are very powerful. Don't blame us for not reminding you if you accidentally die."
"..."
It seems that in this mission, compared to the sand ninjas, I should be most vigilant.
A normal person would plaster himself with detonating symbols 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 the urge to pull away from these lunatics immediately, lest one of these people make a wrong operation, perform an impromptu explosion art, and send them all to heaven.
