Chapter 30 Yugakure’s attack
Unlike Ming Jing who stayed in the middle of the team as obedient escorts, Inuzuka and Aburame Nami, due to their excellent reconnaissance abilities, were placed on the outside of the team to sense possible attacks at any time. At the same time, due to their ability to sense the ninja's Precious, they are protected by at least two chuunin.
"Everyone try to cheer up. The valley terrain ahead is very easy to set up an ambush. The group of guys last month were raided here by Yugakure. Try to be careful! Once the sensing ninja discovers any suspicious situation, he will immediately report!"
A special jounin who was about 20 years old, with half-long hair and a scar on the corner of his eye stood at the front of the team and said to the people behind him.
He is one of the three special jounin in the rear stronghold camp, second only to Inuzuka. His name is Baiyun Tokishin. He has rich combat experience. I heard from the news from Inuzuka that this man's strength is in Konoha. Among the special jounin, he is extremely outstanding. He is no worse than many jounin, but he has no background. Therefore, he has been stuck in the special jounin position for several years and needs more qualifications and military exploits before he can be promoted.
Ming Jing gathered his energy and followed the team quickly through the valley with cautious eyes.
The mountains on both sides of the strait are steep and densely forested, and they are located at a commanding height. It is indeed a very suitable place to set up an ambush.
It's not that I haven't thought about taking other roads, but the terrain on other roads is more dangerous than here, so I can only choose a relatively less dangerous place from these places with dangerous terrain.
"Hakuun Jōnin, there's a situation!"
In the distance, the voice of Inuzuka Yu suddenly came from the team of sentient ninjas.
After Baiyun Tokishin heard this, he hurried towards the location of Inuzuka Ryu.
"What happened? What did you find out?"
Baiyun Tokishin looked at Inuzuka with a serious expression.
"It's not me, it's Nami."
Inujin pointed at Aburame Nami, who was quietly closing her eyes and controlling flying insects.
Seeing Nami's hood and sunglasses outfit, Shiroun Tokishin immediately recognized her identity as an Aburame clan member. He suppressed his anxious thoughts and waited quietly beside her, while giving instructions in an orderly manner. The team paused.
A few minutes later, insects flew from a distance and fell into the wide sleeves of Aburame Nami.
"Genin Nami, what happened."
Shirayun Tokishin asked Aburame Nami with a solemn expression.
"Outside the entrance of the valley, there are about a hundred rain ninjas ambushing them. Judging from their clothes, there should be jounin-level masters among them."
Aburame Nami pushed up her sunglasses and said, her voice still no longer as calm as before.
"A jounin-level opponent..."
Baiyun Tokishin frowned and looked at a chuunin next to him.
Their team totals more than eighty people, and the strongest one is naturally his special jounin, with more than 30 chuunin. As for the rest, they are all genin, including many novice genin who have just graduated in the past two years. Their strength and They don't have enough combat experience.
If a battle really breaks out, there may be serious damage, and this batch of supplies may not be saved.
With countless thoughts in his mind, Baiyunshi suddenly made up a plan with confidence.
"All Konoha ninjas obeyed the order, and the sensing ninjas and genin moved to the center. All the chunin who were good at defensive ninjutsu went to the outside of the two wings to protect them. The other chunin stood with me, lined up the formation, and then set up positions in place. Trap, use ninjutsu to build fortifications, carry supplies, pretend to retreat along the same route, and be ready to launch a counterattack at any time!"
After the order was given, all the Konoha ninjas present moved quickly, and Ming Jing also took advantage of this time to squeeze in next to Inuzugaru and Aburame Nami.
In this case, standing with your teammates with whom you have the best tacit understanding can best reduce tension and better demonstrate your strength.
The more than 80 people in Konoha's logistics escort team changed their formations in an orderly manner, slowly moving towards the route from the rear, while leaving one trap after another on the ground.
……
……
At the mouth of the valley, a thin, middle-aged man wearing a gas mask was making mudra with his hands and closing his eyes to perceive the surrounding situation.
"Master Takeda! Konoha's ninja troops began to turn back, as if they were trying to return the way they came!"
The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and shouted to an Amegakure jounin next to hearing this, Takeda Hiro frowned.
"you sure?"
The middle-aged man closed his eyes again and used perception ninjutsu to confirm the situation in the valley.
"That's true! They have completely reorganized their formation and retreated!"
There was a hint of ferocity in Takeda Hiroshi's eyes, and he ordered decisively:
"In this case, we don't have to hesitate. The entire army will attack and intercept Konoha's logistics team!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, hundreds of Amegakure ninjas wearing gas masks came out in unison.
……
"Here we come! Everyone, be careful!"
An unknown ninja with perception suddenly shouted, drawing the attention of all Konoha ninjas to Taniguchi's position.
There, a large number of Amegakure ninjas were rushing towards here with weapons in hand.
"Everyone, form your formation and prepare to meet the enemy! Water Escape Ninja and Earth Escape Ninja are ready!"
Baiyun Shixin stood on a carriage and ordered to all the ninjas.
In the distance, Takeda Hiro watched the Konoha ninjas stand firm in place. As an experienced jounin, he immediately guessed that there might be a trap ahead, and immediately called a few rain ninjas who were good at large-scale water escape.
"Water Escape·Waterfall Art!"
"Water Escape·Water Chaos!"
"Water Escape · Waves!"
……
In just a few breaths, a powerful torrent was generated in the direction of the Taniguchi, rushing towards Konoha's position, and at the same time destroying the traps previously set by Konoha ninjas on the ground.
"Earth escape ninja, get ready!"
Seeing this scene, Baiyun Shixin was not surprised, but urgently ordered the earth escape ninja to take countermeasures.
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
"Tu Dun·Tulu returns!"
"Earth Escape·Lian Tile Technique!"
Rows of earth walls of different shapes and textures rose up in front of the Konoha ninja's position, blocking the raging flood in front of them, as well as subsequent attacks such as flying shurikens.
Ninjas are very fast. Just after they blocked these attacks, a famous Amegakure stepped on the water on the ground and rushed over, screaming.
"Zheng!"
The sound of gold and iron colliding sounded. Shirayun Tokishin was already holding a ninja sword and was fighting with the opposite Amegakure Jōnin.
With just one look, Ming Jing knew that this kind of jounin-level confrontation was not something he could get involved in.
but……
Ming Jing silently opened his scarlet Sharingan and looked at Yugakure rushing forward.
