Chapter 143: The Hidden Apocalypse
The Land of Grass is located between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire, and it is also the shortest way to communicate between the two countries. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such a location determines that it is not only a bridgehead for Iwakuin to invade the Fire Country, but also the focus of the defense system arranged by Konoha .
Iwakure has thousands of combat forces here, but due to the distance factor, in order to maintain the integrity of the combat power here and prevent Konoha from counterattacking at any time, Iwakure must regularly send supplies to the front line of the Grass Country.
To this end, Iwakuin has a special supply force of varying sizes.
In terms of organization, Nakashinobu Yoshida belongs to such a supply force, and he belongs to a supply team of twelve people.
Despite the small size of this team and the limited delivery capacity, the items transported are extremely important.
medicines, they are responsible for the regular delivery of various much-needed medicines to the front line.
Although most of the transportation routes are located in the Iwakure territory, and the supplies are relatively safe, they are still quite cautious due to the caution of the ninjas.
After arriving at a frontline stronghold, they would stay for a day to rest and then return the next day.
But this task was repeated again and again, but there was never any problem, and gradually, this caution dissipated somewhat.
Therefore, they did not know that they were being targeted at this time.
This time the mission went as smoothly as ever, the supplies were completed, and after leaving the stronghold for half a day, according to the prior arrangement, the team began to rest.
Yoshida served as the guard.
Suddenly, a dry reed swinging not far from the team's resting place made a strange shaking and noise.
Enemies?
The Iwakushi ninja immediately became vigilant.
"Yoshida! Let's see what's going on. The captain immediately gave the order like a guard.
"Ahh......h Myself?"
Nakashinobu Yoshida didn't expect the task to fall on his head.
"Any questions?"
Although the captain's tone and demeanor did not change in any way, Yoshida was shocked when he heard him speak like this.
"No, no. ”
As soon as he had answered, he ran towards the reeds.
He pretended not to hear the discussion behind him.
"Why can such a person still become a middle ninja?"
"And you've been placed on our team?"
"How did he survive on the battlefield when he was so timid and afraid of death? I heard that he was still active on the frontal battlefield before?"
There is nothing wrong with these words, Yoshida is 27 years old, and he did have a high spirits in the early days of the war, when he was very active in combat...... Until he came across a rather brutal head-on battle with Yun Yin, that kind of hell on earth caused his collapse.
Yoshida didn't want to recall what happened at that time, but that scene lingered in his mind.
So he survived by luck, from an aspiring young man to a coward who is afraid of death. He could not stay on the frontal battlefield, and after retiring, he could only carry out painless logistics tasks.
So for him, all his teammates don't treat him very well, and he doesn't deserve to be a ninja.
Yoshida was quick at first because of the captain's attitude, but as he got closer to the reeds, he became sluggish.
He took a few steps forward, then jerked back as if he was frightened by something......
However, nothing happened, and then he scratched his head, and then, as if remembering something, he took out a kunai from his ninja bag, and then walked into the reed swing quite vigilantly.
The teammates were nervous at first, and then confused, sister, what are you excited about when you take out a weapon.
After all, it's not far away, everyone has seen Yoshida's funny performance, and I really don't know if I should laugh on this occasion.
Of course, Yoshida himself would never be able to laugh, his spirit was so tense at this time that he could only hear his heart pounding in his ears, and his breathing became heavy.
The reeds are so dense that his teammates can't see him here, and he can't see his teammates.
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in front of me.
Yoshida almost screamed in fright.
Fortunately, he held back, and when he looked closely, it turned out that this was a wild boar's den, and the shaking was only caused by wild beasts.
Yoshida suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain, there's nothing!"
He shouted.
However, as soon as his voice fell, something suddenly changed!
As if out of thin air, a palm, middle finger and index finger pressed together into a point, and landed on the back of Yoshida's head.
Then, Yoshida didn't know anything.
The high-voltage electricity silently scorched his brain.
With a slight palm of his hand, Yoshida slid to the ground without making a strange movement.
Then the hands unfolded an object, and the scroll with the word "corpse" written in the middle sealed Yoshida in an instant.
…………
"Nothing?" said the captain in that tone, asking Yoshida, who had returned from the reconnaissance.
Yoshida, who was still visibly cowering, replied, "Anything...... Yes, there was a wild boar that caused that kind of movement. ”
"Where's the wild boar?" said someone in the team, presumably with the intention of improving their food, since most of their food during the mission was food pills and the like.
"Still there...... I, I'm afraid that killing it will cause the bloody gas to attract the enemy. ”
Everyone was speechless for a moment, how many times has this been, this Yoshida is really enough, and the country of earth in front of him is all the territory of Iwain, where did the enemy come from.
The captain didn't say anything, he actually agreed with Yoshida's opinion, but some kind of emotion prevented him from agreeing with and praising Yoshida...... This coward is not worth it.
"Clean up the traces of activity, and we'll go right away. ”
"Yes!" everyone responded.
At the captain's request, the Iwakushi ninjas tidied up a little and then left the place.
As for Yoshida, he never looked back from beginning to end......
Walking through this reed slope, have you ever heard that there is a ninja who has been here?
I didn't bring anything with me on the way home, so I had to move more quickly.
Along the way, Yoshida was still in that declining state, and Shinto was cautious, and his behavior was as usual, and he did not arouse any suspicion.
Yoshida is just Yoshida after all, who will have the extra heart to pay attention to him?
But he didn't expect that in the evening, he found the captain by himself.
"Captain...... I've heard that this team is going to be dismantled and moved on to other missions, right?"
The captain glanced at the nasty at him, but he couldn't really do anything to Yoshida because of something like this.
"Who did you listen to?"
"I ......" Yoshida was speechless again.
The captain had no doubts about such a problem, in fact there were rumors of such things in the team.
Of course, he also knew what the guy in front of him was worried about, it was nothing more than that he was afraid that the new mission would make him go to the front again, so the contempt in his heart for Yoshida became more and more serious.
"I haven't received such news, but you don't have to think too much, it's all a matter decided by the superiors, and you and I have no right to ask. ”
He had already made up his mind that if there was really any chance of death, the first one would be left to Yoshida.
Anyway, Yoshida is useless to his own team, and to the entire Iwakure, isn't he?
