Chapter 32: Survival
Seeing the black soil that kept demonstrating to him, the three of Qingyang did not choose to leave in a hurry, but stayed in the camp for the time being. The trio decided to start with a pre-war analysis. Qingyang started the analysis first.
"The content of this exam is to return to the end with intelligence, which can be counted as an escort mission, and there are a large number of ninja interceptions, so it can be counted as a B-level mission for the time being. β
Sogo nodded and continued.
"Since it is an escort mission, it is necessary to plan the best route before departure. β
"Also, in order to ensure the safety of the escort object, unnecessary fighting should be avoided along the way. β
Eko also spoke her mind.
......
At the same time, Onoki, who was in the camp command post, noticed the three of them early.
"Eh, isn't that Heitu's little boyfriend? Why hasn't he set off yet? Is he scared? This can't work! How can Heitu marry a soft egg!"
The old man continued to observe Qingyang and the three of them while thinking wildly, and after a while, he saw the clue.
"Oh, what?,It's a task analysis.,So it's quite capable.,From this point of view, this guy already has the quality of a middle ninja.γ It's a pity that such an excellent imp is Konoha and is ......"
Regardless of this old man with a huge brain, Qingyang and the three of them are ready to analyze and set off.
......
"From here to Heights Thirty-Nine there are three mountains to climb, a total of Thirty-six under our feet, and Thirty-Seven, and Thirty-Eight. These three mountains, together with the last 39 mountains, are at an angle of about 53Β° to each other. The estimated heights are 630 m, 720 m, 580 m and 900 m, respectively. The terrain between No. 36 and No. 37 is a coniferous forest. No matter how far away I am, I can't reach the white of my eyes. β
Lifting the white eye, Sogo told everyone the details of what he had seen.
"Okay, enough is enough. This information is enough for us to get to Heights Thirty-Eight. The taiga between Thirty-Six and Seven is one of the few terrains in our Fire Country, and we don't know much about it, and the complex environment of the jungle is better suited for hiding enemies. I decided to skip the 37th and run straight from the side of the 37th mountain to the 38th. Let's go!"
Qingyang made a final summary, got up and walked outside the camp. Sogo still kept up with the pace with an angry face.
"This bastard is putting on a captain's face again, and "I decide", virtue!"
Looking at Sogo, who was funny at herself, Eko covered her mouth and smiled, and she also quickly caught up with the two.
Unbeknownst to the three of them, just after they left the camp, an ordinary-looking shinobi appeared behind them.
"The three-person team, the strength is estimated to be three elite shinobi, all of whom have a record of defeating the middle ninja independently. And the team has unified opinions and high execution. Inform the team in front of you that the target is not easy to deal with, and you must shoot at the target when the team is complete!"
"Roger!"
There was a fleeting voice in the shadows, and then the middle shinobi left as if nothing had happened.
The three of them didn't know that an unknown shadow had loomed over them.
......
In the icy rocky mountain environment, several black figures were moving quickly, and it was the three-person team of Qingyang. Since they only had three days, they had to be fast, and it was a very time-critical task to cross three mountains and avoid being captured by the patrolling Shinobi in three days.
The three of them had Sogo's white eyes along the way, so they effectively avoided the first middle ninja team guarding in front. At this time, nearly a third of the way from the 36th to the 38th Heights had been completed. Since it was safe so far, Haruyo suggested that Sogo remove the white eyes first to save the chakra. His previous scouting in the camp and along the way cost him a lot of chakra. Sogo was just about to do so, but he was suddenly stunned.
"Wait, there's a trap ahead!"
The three of them stopped at the same time, and Sogo looked at it again and said.
"There's a lot of traps ahead, and there's a three-person squad waiting there, presumably intending to ambush them. β
Qingyang thought for a moment.
"Avoid unnecessary fighting, we take a detour. β
The trio then turned in another direction, intending to bypass the team and continue in the direction of Thirty-Eight.
"They've moved, their positions have shifted, and they look like they're chasing us!"
Sogo, who had been paying attention to the enemy's movements, said the current situation again, and Qingyang's face was not very good.
"What an annoying bunch of guys, see if you can get rid of them!"
"Okay. β
Teko said yes and began to seal, placing some trigger-type illusions in the path they passed.
"It didn't work, the illusion was lifted. β
After running some distance again, Eko said helplessly. Qingyang is a little angry now.
"Stop, get ready for battle!"
Sogo and Eko, who were also holding back their anger, immediately agreed and stopped where they were, intending to deal a head-on blow to the attacker.
After a while, the dog that followed behind bit me. These are three grass ninjas, and Qingyang vaguely remembers the names of the three of them, as if they are called no flowers, no smell and no seeds. As soon as these three guys met, they were arrogant.
"Hey, hey, aren't you going to run away?"
Qingyang looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice.
"We're not going to do anything to you, so we want you to leave. I can act as if it didn't happen. β
Flowerless smiled hideously.
"Hehe, but I'm going to attack you, if you know each other, hand over the scroll in your hand, and we can spare you a way out. β
Eko asked incomprehensibly.
"Why do you want our scrolls? Have all your scrolls been confiscated?"
Odorless has a gloomy face, looking at Eko exaggeratedly.
"Little girl, you are really naΓ―ve, whether there is a scroll or not does not prevent us from snatching your scroll, after all, robbing you of all and letting you be eliminated is not just one less competitor. β
As he spoke, Seedless opened his robe, in which a dozen scrolls were placed. The three of them were shocked when they saw it, and Sogo couldn't help but open his mouth to sneer.
"You guys are really vicious, no flowers, no smell and no seeds, it's just poisonous, right?"
For Sogo's ridicule, the three of them were not angry.
"Hey, hey, scold, scold, anyway, all you have left is this bit of scolding now. I hope you'll be able to scold it in a while. β
The three of them were talking there, and while they were talking, the three of them suddenly shook out two whips from their wide sleeves. It was covered with serrations of blades, and it was clearly quenched with venom by color. Their weapons are as insidious as the way they fight.
Seeing that the enemy had attacked, Qingyang jumped backwards quickly, leaving only Sogo and Eko, who had not yet had time, to be wrapped around the terrifying whip.
"Hmph, are you going to abandon your companion like this, don't worry, it will be your turn in a while. Let's send the two of them on their way first!"
"Snap ......"
The crisp sound of water reached the eardrums of everyone present, and the two broken water bodies scattered on the ground.
"What?!"
The three grass ninjas were shocked. Qingyang admired their surprised expressions and whispered softly.
"It's time to do it......"
Sogo suddenly burst out from behind them, and the soft fist method was faster than the other. One person plays against three people at the same time. The three-hundred-and-sixty-degree perspective of the white eye is fully open at this moment, even if the other party is three people and there are insidious weapons, there is no way to take him for a while, and at the same time, Eko is constantly releasing interference illusions in the dark, disrupting the movements of the three people.
Qingyang didn't watch dryly from the side, and the seal in his hand was quickly knotted, and more than forty seals were completely completed in more than ten seconds.
"Water Escape, Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A medium-sized water dragon spat out of Qingyang's mouth and crushed towards several people in the field. And Sogo, who had already had a tacit understanding with each other, used the stand-in technique to leave the side of the grass ninja trio the moment Qingyang released the ninjutsu.
Looking at the water dragon that attacked them, Kusanobu Wuhua shouted in fear.
"What! in such a place where there is no water...... Your chakra ......"
It's a pity that the water dragon has no emotion and slaps at them violently.
"Boom !!"
The huge impact caused the three of them to temporarily appear dizzy and fall to the ground, and Sogo and Eko next to them would not give them a chance to breathe at all, and used kunai to kill the three of them on the spot.
"Hoo ......"
Looking at Sogo who was gasping for breath, Haruyo and Eko expressed concern and asked about his condition, after all, Sogo's chakra has always been consumed at a high speed, and just now he was fighting three people alone. After reporting each other's losses and making some preparations, the three of them thought about picking up all the scrolls on their bodies and left quickly.
Because the previous battle was very likely to attract the nearby middle ninja, they didn't have the confidence to dare to confront the nine middle ninjas head-on now, all they could do was to leave quickly. They didn't bother with killing those three grass ninja Qingyang. After seeing the scrolls on their bodies, Qingyang had already decided: even if these three guys wanted to leave, they couldn't let them go! Because the behavior of these people had already threatened them, maliciously attacking other teams, reducing the ranks of candidates, which was equivalent to the average number of middle ninjas that the other surviving teams would have to face. How could it be possible to let them go in this case.
The trio continued on their way to Heights Thirty-Eight, unbeknownst to them, where greater danger awaited them.
