Chapter 31: The Eve of the Mission
Early in the morning, the Orochimaru team attacked towards the Gray Country, but the accompanying guide was the father and daughter that Ye Zi met last night, namely Fang Shen Mu and Fang Yan Ye, the latter saw Ye Zi, and there was a eager light in his eyes, if it weren't for Shen Mu who had been glaring at her with his eyes, maybe she would have directly found Ye Zi for a competition, which was simply a complete battle maniac.
Along the way, Yan Ye has been looking at Ye Zi distractedly, his eyes are very eager, but Ye Zi has turned a blind eye to this, this strange performance has attracted the attention of Jiu Xingna and Beixingye, they secretly observed Ye Zi and Yan Ye, and even thought that the reason why this phenomenon was caused was because of what happened to Ye Zi when he went out last night, and the fact is also true.
In the face of Yan Ye's not subtle provocation, Ye Zi was helpless to ignore it, he was very puzzled, even if Yan Ye was a complete battle maniac, he should go to Jiu Xingna, who was also a woman, but now he has been staring at him, but he doesn't know that the reason why Yan Ye recognized him was because he was the first big country ninja that Yan Ye fought against.
"At this rate, we should be able to reach the Gray Nation cordon today." Fukaki looked ahead and said towards Orochimaru, who was leaping in sync.
Orochimaru nodded slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yan Ye, who did not have the slightest seriousness about this mission, and obviously showed a trace of dissatisfaction, which Fukaki could easily detect.
Seeing this, the corners of Fukaki's mouth pulled out a faint wry smile, this mission is very important, and for Yan Ye, who has never been in contact with a difficult task, it can be said to be a very important trial, which is enough to make him reborn in terms of attitude, so in order to bring Yan Ye, he worked hard, but he never expected that on the eve of the mission, Yan Ye would deliberately challenge Ye Zi, and the challenge was forgotten, but he did not win, so that this morning Yan Ye's appearance was a little frivolous and caused Orochimaru to be dissatisfied.
As fellow task-bearers, mistrust is a terrible destabilizing factor.
Orochimaru knew this, and he agreed with Fukaki's strength, but he didn't agree with the words that looked like he was out to play.
Fukaki also knew this, so while he smiled bitterly, he was already thinking about letting Orochimaru see the effect of the word leaf as soon as possible, so as to eliminate Orochimaru's distrust.
The trees on both sides of his vision quickly retreated, and the deep wood in front of him was slightly solemn in his eyes, and he thought for a long time before he decided to let Yan Ye take the lead and pull out the first batch of key dark sentinels in the Gray Country.
There was no word all the way, until night fell and the waning moon rose into the sky, and the Orochimaru team came to the location that had been set up at the beginning, away from the dark outpost of the Gray Country, and had a short rest.
Although it was still a long way from the outposts that dotted the Grey Country, it was still unwise to start a fire at night, and everyone found a place to sit down, take a short rest, and eat dry food to replenish their energy.
Fukaki and Orochimaru used the faint moonlight to view a dark whistle distribution map, compared with the terrain, vaguely judged the approximate distribution points of the dark whistles, the accuracy of this intelligence map is not 100%, so it can only be used for reference, among which there are many distribution points of the dark whistle that are not marked.
"There are only 7 fixed outposts that can be determined, and the range of the remaining outposts is uncertain, and the number of undetected outposts is about 30." Fukaki pointed to the seven dots that were distinguished by color.
Orochimaru stared at the simple topographical information map carefully, his eyes especially wandering on the dotted line between the dots, and after a long time, his eyes flashed, pointing to the right side of the map where the dark posts were slightly densely distributed, and said in a deep voice: "Using this point as a breakthrough, this is the weakest point of connecting the fixed dark posts. ”
Fukaki was slightly stunned, looking at the side of the map that was clearly the most difficult to break through, but he didn't understand why Orochimaru chose this place.
Ye Zi, who had almost rested, also came over at this time.
Yan Ye heard Orochimaru say this, clenched his fists, and said with a little excitement: "This is interesting." ”
Orochimaru glanced at her coldly, and then looked at his students, all of whom looked thoughtful, as if they had realized.
If you look closely, the distribution points of the dark posts in this simple topographic map are actually centered on 7 fixed dark posts, connecting a small gap of the warning net, which can be seen from the intelligence map, but there is no detailed understanding of how long the message is transmitted between the dark posts, so if you easily touch even any small point of this net, it is very likely to affect the whole body.
The reason why I chose the entrance on the right side that seems to be the most difficult to break through is because it is the farthest away from the fixed outpost, but for the assassination mission, it is inevitable that you must be mentally prepared to face many enemies after completing the mission before you break through.
The only difference is that if the outpost is unplugged for one second less and is discovered by the enemy, it will give you an extra second to carry out the mission, and this second of time can even play a role in the timely retreat.
Fukaki was the first to wake up and nodded, "I understand." ”
To put it simply, going deep into the enemy's belly to assassinate the lord of the country is like a difficult road from which there is no return, and it is unrealistic to lurk in and then simply kill the mission goal, no matter what, you have to face a large number of enemies after the mission is successful.
This is a mission that only has one chance.
The first step is not to increase the chances of completing the mission, but to increase the certainty of a safe return.
Long before the mission began, Orochimaru had a general understanding of the strength of Fukaki and Yanye, he looked at Fukaki and said lightly: "There happen to be people in my team with strong reconnaissance ability, and they will be responsible for detecting the location of the secret sentry, and then I will hand it over to you." ”
Shenmu nodded heavily, suddenly looked at Yan Ye, and said seriously: "In terms of using poison to kill enemies silently, Yan Ye is better than me. ”
There is no recommendation in the words, it seems to be just stating a fact.
Orochimaru unexpectedly glanced at Yan Ye, who was excited, and couldn't help but groan, he really didn't have any trust in Yan Ye, especially in Yan Ye's state, it was difficult for people to have confidence in him.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Yan Ye suddenly raised his hand when he heard this, his face was excited, and he seemed to be very confident.
"Can she do it?" Orochimaru didn't look at Yan Ye, but at Fukagi.
Before Fukaki could say anything, Yan Ye had already looked at Orochimaru seriously, and said angrily, "I can do it." ”
Seeing this, Fukaki rubbed his forehead in some pain, at this moment, it was difficult for him to say that Yan Ye could indeed take on this task.
"Orochimaru, she might be able to." Ye Zi on the side suddenly spoke, and the other people present looked at him in surprise.
Jiu Xingna and Beixingye looked at Ye Zi, and then at Yan Ye, in fact, they were more inclined to let Fukaki take on this task, after all, this was the most important step.
Ye Zi, who had just finished speaking, looked at Yan Ye again, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "The time to quietly pull out the dark outpost may be a barrier that allows us to retreat in time, if the mission fails, you will die here." ”
In terms of assassination, Ye Zi thinks that he is no worse than Yan Ye, but if he wants to carry out a high-speed assassination, he will inevitably make a little movement, especially when thunder and lightning are entangled, not to mention the sound, the thunder light is simply a guiding light in the dark, so he can't shoulder this crucial step.
The excitement on Yan Ye's face slowly subsided, she slowly looked at Ye Zi, her expression changed slightly, and after a while, she looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I know, if the mission fails, I won't go back alive." ”
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth hooked slightly when he heard this, and the protection of his life was enough to make him have initial trust in Yan Ye.
When Fukaki heard Yan Ye say this, he didn't have the slightest worry, except for being a little helpless about Yan Ye's behavior, he was full of confidence in other aspects.
"She's the star of tomorrow for our Kushinobi, just wait, someday..." Fukaki thought silently.
