บท 26: Sneak Attack

"Where was the explosion?" Junrei jumped down from a tree and came to Ueno's side, with a frowned face he asked.

"There!" Ueno pointed in a direction and said solemnly, "Someone should have discovered something, so that Explosive Tag should have been used to warn us. Junrei, I'll rush over to see the situation, you return to meet up with Keita and Shinohara. Remember, no matter what the situation, you three should not act separately.

"Understood!"

After rushing back to the camp, Keita and Shinohara were already standing there waiting for a long time, Junrei hurried over and said, "Ueno Teacher has already informed me what we should do, and let me come back to meet you, let's go together the 3 of us. "

"Okay! Let's go!" Hyuga Keita nodded, then doing a hand seal on his chest, low shouted: "Byakugan!"

"It's Sand ninja, about ten or twenty people." Keita said.

"So many people?" Shinohara exclaimed.

So many sand ninjas gathered together to sneak into the Land of Fire territory, but they were not discovered by the village. It is really hard to believe. Are the village's Anbu all useless?

"Let's hurry first!" Junrei said and ran out.

The location of the incident was a small valley among the mountains. The forest was vast, the foliage was lush, the lush was green, and the terrain was steep and complicated, but it was also very suitable for hiding. But once you were found here, you would have no way to escape except to kill your way out.

In short, this is also a good place for those that don't fear death.

Junrei has seen the map. It's already in the Land of Fire territory, and it is not within their scope of alert. So how were the Sand ninja hidden here found?

But obviously right now is not the time to consider such a problem. After reaching the location, they found a place to hide.

The valley is now hot, there are a total of 20 ninjas on the Sand's side. It looks like there should be 3 to 4 teams, and 3 of their ninjas are still Puppeteers.

The enemy this time is tricky!

Konoha's side is completely landed on the losing end, and there are 2 corpse lying on the ground.

As Mekka Junrei had previously guessed, the sand ninjas who can sneak into the land of Land of Fire must be elites. Although Konoha has a large number of people, they are completely suppressed by Sunagakure. And this place is very far from other camps. Unless they can send information in advance, it is impossible to wait for reinforcements.

"Let's go!" Shinohara suggested.

"No! If we go up now, it won't do anything," Keita said too calmly.

"What?" Shinohara yelled, then looked towards Junrei, and asked, "What do you think?"

"My opinion is the same as Keita. Our strength is too weak. It is no different if we go out and die now. We may also drag the others down." Junrei said solemnly: "Don't worry, there are several teams of patrolling ninjas around here, We still have hope to win. "

"Then we just look?" Shinohara complained.

"Ah~!"

A scream came from within the valley, and another Konoha Ninja fell to the ground.

The current situation is that although there are more than 20 people on Konoha's side, they only have 2 Jonnins. On the side of Sunagakure, although there are fewer people, they are all elites, and even the weakest among them are Chunin.

Even more, there are 3 Puppeteers in the enemy team.

Even if all the ninjas patrolling nearby came over, Junrei didn't think they could win against this group of Sand ninja.

Moreover, looking at their attitude, they did not panic at all, and did not mean to break through.

Junrei was very doubtful if they got any information beforehand, otherwise they will just show their whereabouts in the enemy's country, and they can still engage on combat with the enemy so calmly, which is a bit out of common sense.

"What should we do?" Shinohara asked anxiously.

"There's a way..." Junrei said solemnly: "Keita, Shinohara, set up traps on the vicinity, I will go out and try to see if I can attract one or two enemies. As for the strength of our group, as long as it's not a Puppeteer or a Jonin we can easily kill them."

"Good!" Keita hearing this nodded and agreed with Junrei's suggestion.

In this case, if they just decided not to fight, when they return to the village they will definitely get criticize.

Using Earth Release to approach the enemy and came just under a Sand ninja. Junrei reached out a hand and pulled the unsuspecting sand ninja into the ground.

[Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu]

With a slight pride in his heart, Junrei was about to use a Kunai to cut off the name of ninja's throat, and suddenly a terrible sense of danger arose in his heart.

Instantly using Body Replacement Technique, a 'bang' sounded the same time, and the sand ninja that was pulled into the ground by Junrei exploded instantly. The wooden pile used by Body Substitution Jutsu also exploded into fragments by the formidable explosive power.

So close!

The bad feeling just now made Junrei get extremely nervous. If it wasn't for his vigilance, he would be on the path to hell.

That ninja must had feel something, so he used [Clone Jutsu] as a bait, and also stuck an Explosive Tag on the clone. If Junrei was a little careless, he would be lying on the ground now.

"Very perceptive! You little kid!" A 20-year-old Sand ninja smirked and looked at Junrei, as if he had found some interesting prey.

This is an experiences ninja.

Fortunately, he had another Chunin holding him, so Junrei was not in danger for the moment.

"Hmph! "

Without hesitation, Junrei took 2 kunai from his Pouch and threw it at the Sand Chunin.

Although this sneak attack by Junrei wouldn't play any significant role, it would caused some problems to the other side.

Ninja executes mission as a team. Since Junrei has appeared, there must be other people hiding in the dark waiting for the opportunity.

So the Sand's Chunnin actions became more cautious, and there was already some hesitation in his attacks, apparently he was afraid that other people would suddenly appear, dealing him a deadly attack.

This situation is much better than the scene where the Konoha Chunin worked hard to just match him. As Junrei joined the battle, the situation of the Sand Chunin began to slowly deteriorate. Under the combined attack of Junrei and the Konoha Chunin, he got hurt a few times on combat.

"Be careful!" the Konoha Chunin suddenly shouted.

No needing someone to remind him at all, Junrei directly used [Body Replacement Technique], and avoided another sneak attack of the Sand Chunnin.

Boom!

While using [Body Replacement Technique], Junrei threw out a Smoke Bomb directly.

Under the cover of the smoke, Junrei quickly hand sealed, and his body changed to a Sand's Chunnin appearance with a burst out of smoke.

"Nemo, are you okay?" The Sand Chunnin who had just sneak attacked Junrei, came to his side and whispered.

"I'm okay! Thanks..." Junrei turned to look at the Sand Chunnin with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth and a Kunai quickly pierced his heart.

Boom!

In a burst of smoke, Junrei lifted the [Transformation Technique] back to his original appearance. The unlucky Sand Chunnin's face was full of shock. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but unfortunately he lost his breath before he could say anything.
