Chapter 189: Ten Consecutive Draws
"That's the basic thing. What is certain at the moment is that Orochimaru did once be active in that vicinity, but has now left there. Tsunade sat down in his chair and said solemnly, "Your mission is to explore the base left behind by Orochimaru, and if there are any remnants of materials, scrolls, and documents, as well as other valuable things, bring them back." When encountering residual sound ninja, try to capture it alive. When leaving, destroy the base. β
"The reconnaissance detachment will leave people nearby to keep an eye on you, once they find that Orochimaru has signs of returning, they will sound the alarm, you evacuate immediately, don't hesitate!"
"This is your mission briefing and the Seal Scroll. Tsunade handed several envelopes and huge scrolls to Shino and the captains of the remaining two teams, respectively, "Stay safe, Orochimaru's abandoned base is not as precious as yours!"
She glanced around the shadows standing in front of her, lingering on Sakura's body for a few more seconds.
It's like asking her, are you ready for the next battle?
The girl quietly unscrewed her mask and nodded her head slightly at the master, revealing a confident smile with pink lips curled.
After resting for a few days, the Yin Seal also stored some chakras again. Sakura-Chong-Phase 2 has also been developed.
You can't beat Orochimaru, but if you run away with him after a few tricks, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Fighting with the strong and improving herself in real battles, instead of nesting in a safe place to develop ninjutsu behind closed doors, was originally her purpose in entering the shadows, and for such a task, Sakura certainly would not resist.
Tsunade nodded at the crowd.
"Let's go!" she waved her hand sharply.
The shadows all turned into afterimages and left the Hokage's office.
Race all the way to your destination.
Because it was not a rescue mission in a hurry, this time it was a cruising speed that saved physical strength, which was much slower than last time.
At nightfall, the group rushed to the vicinity of the site of the last battle with Junmaro.
There was still a long way to go from the destination, and the three captains naturally did not choose to rush at night, so they stopped in place and camped in the wild.
Said to be camping, in fact, it was just a casual search for a hidden location, built a few small houses out of earth, and the captains took out simple bedding from the scrolls, and everyone dealt with it casually.
The life of a ninja is not always bloody, nor is it always the cats who live leisurely and easily in the village, and sometimes they eat and drink, so simple and rough.
Sakura was covered with a thin quilt and listened to the whispers of her teammates outside the house, thinking faintly.
If it was in that world, a girl with a bright appearance like her slept in such a humble environment for one night, I was afraid that someone would already shout about abusing a beautiful girl or something.
However, Sakura Haruno is now a ninja and used to be a man, so she is neither pretentious nor delicate flowers, and she does not need or want to be treated with special privileges because of her appearance and womenβand it is impossible for the shadows to do such a hypocritical thing.
The solid ground under her, the rough quilt and mattress, the slight snoring and breathing around her, reminded her of the pleasant accommodation life of sleeping on a hard bed when she was a student in her previous life, and in the dark, her teammates quickly finished discussing tomorrow's task, and turned around and returned to the earthen house, leaving only the ninja on duty.
Nothing was said all night.
When the morning dawn arrived, Sakura, who was on duty in the second half of the night shift, rubbed her legs, which were standing a little numb, had a simple breakfast with her teammates, and then set off again.
It was about noon that they arrived near their destination, and the ninjas of the reconnaissance detachment had been waiting there for a while.
Several captains took out the task list and checked it with the ninjas who answered, and everyone nodded silently to each other, and without saying much, they dispersed in three directions.
"This is one of Orochimaru's bases. "The ninja of the Inuzuka family should be leading the way for the 14th detachment, followed by a majestic white-haired ninja dog, he took the 14th detachment to a small hill that looked unremarkable, stomped on the grass under his feet and said.
"Torotaro smells the smell of the snake on Orochimaru's body here," he explained, touching the head of the big white dog, "its sense of smell is very sensitive, and it never makes a mistake." There must be a base for Orochimaru underground. β
"Is there an underground base without an entrance?" Shino looked around, but couldn't see any obvious openings.
However, this kind of fully enclosed underground base with only tiny vents is difficult for the dark people who possess ninjutsu.
Shino opened an entrance with a dirt escape, and the three members of the 14th detachment rushed in, leaving the ninja with the ninja dog to be vigilant on it.
The gloomy and dark underground base is not as mysterious as Sakura imagined, and it is full of tricks.
On the contrary, it seemed unusually rough, even more shabby than the mud house in which she had slept last night, which had a quilt.
"There are a lot of rooms, but there are not even some daily necessities. Sakura, who had been shaking for a long time and still got nothing, couldn't help but complain.
The girl twisted a small oil lamp from her fingertips, the only man-made object she had found in this room, and the dilapidated oil lamp disintegrated the moment she lifted it, and fell to the ground with a clatter, making a sound that echoed for a long time in the silence of the room.
Shino turned his head, glanced at Sakura Haruno, and said half-helplessly: "It seems that we are in the wrong place, no one has been here for at least a few years. β
"Nothing of value was found except for the skin of some giant snakes. Xi Yan, who had turned around and returned empty-handed, also replied faintly, she was quite looking forward to finding some weapons or secret arts materials left by Orochimaru here, "Do you need to bring the snake skin back, Shino?"
"Forget about the snakeskin......" Shino twitched the corner of his mouth and said quickly.
After turning around for a while, after making sure that nothing was missed, the three of them returned to the surface, and Shino directly destroyed the underground base in one shot.
"Is there an empty base?" said the Inuzuka family's ninja shrugged, crossed a mark on the map, and unsurprisingly said, "Let's go, let's go and see the next one." β
A clever person has more than one plan. Orochimaru left more than one or two bases around here.
In fact, because of the existence of such a convenient ninjutsu as Tu Dun, building a semi-permanent base is nothing more than a hands-on matter for a powerful ninja like Orochimaru.
It's just that most of these bases, or underground cavities, are abandoned for various reasons after being used for a period of time.
This was the case with the second underground base where the 14th detachment went.
"It's absolutely impossible to live here. As soon as he arrived at the base, Shino asserted.
Instead of solid ground beneath his feet, there was a waterway that had soaked the corridor halfway. Groundwater infiltrated and turned the entire base into an ocean.
Orochimaru may be able to live in such a place, but he still has a lot of ninjas under his command, and those people may not be able to live in such waters.
"I'll do it. Sakura walked to the front and said that this environment was perfect for her to perform ninjutsu.
"Water Escape-Legion's Water Body Technique!"
The girl lifted some chakra slightly and seeped into the water, turning into a blurred face and making a rough wet body. The last time this ninjutsu was used, it was in the half-year middle ninja exam, and she used the doppelganger ninjutsu when she and Naruto sparred. [Note]
To deal with such a simple and tedious task, the Legion Water Body is clearly the most cost-effective option. After a while, the water body that had scattered in search of useful objects returned to Sakura.
Brought back: a soaked chair*5, a damaged oil lamp*7, a number of wet rags that I can't see what purpose I can't see......
"Is that all?" The pink-haired girl's face darkened, and she sighed in her heart: After all, the Legion's body is too rough, and her thinking ability is a little low. Asked them to collect valuable things from the base, only to find the pile of rubbish.
She soon realized that she had mistaken the water body - in the end, the doppelganger had brought back nothing else that was really useful, and the only thing of value in the base was apparently the pile of garbage in front of her.
Sakura silently disbanded the water body, realizing that she had made a fool, and it was strange that she could find something useful in the abandoned base.
She reached into her mask and scratched her face, feeling like they weren't on a dangerous ninja mission.
It's like a ten-draw draw in some inferior mobile games.
And it's also the kind of ten consecutive draws that don't announce the winning rate, and the first two golden eggs smashed out are all garbage.
When she came out of the underground base, Sakura felt like she had seen through the essence of this mission.
Having destroyed the base as usual, Detachment 14 continued to set off for the next location.
[Note: The Legion Water Body is Sakura's original ninjutsu, see Chapter 58 for details.] γ
