Ahead, pitch-black makeshift camp.

The torrential rain was pouring down, and the rocks and cliffs around the cave seemed to be calm, but if there were sentient ninjas here, they would definitely be able to find that a large number of ninjas were hidden around it, although in such a heavy mountain rain, they were actually no different from being soaked in water, but behind the rocks, on the cliffs and even under the ground, their bodies were still like iron, and there were not even the subtle ups and downs caused by breathing.

In a cave.

"Captain Makoto." The tall Konoha ninja saluted slightly.

"Captain of the household." Makoto returned the courtesy, and with the white eyes of a member of the Hyuga family, several squads in the second echelon quickly found them.

Tobe Castle is a middle-aged man who often has a kind expression on his face, and his strength is not bad, and he is an elite shinobi with a lot of experience. But maybe he was born as a civilian, his reputation in the village is not obvious, and his interactions with people are mostly low-key, so among those ninjas in Konoha who know his name, he has a good reputation.

"Captain Cheng, since we have successfully converged, what should we do next, it is better for everyone to discuss and act." Tobe Castle said very politely.

Chengxin coughed in his heart, knowing that the other party was alluding to the fact that he had left the other teams of the second echelon without permission before to rush forward alone, and he was slightly embarrassed, but the expression on his face was not obvious, and he replied seriously as if he hadn't heard anything: "Of course, the order we received was to follow the second echelon to complete the task after the rendezvous, I don't know what the specific mission goal is?" ”

Tobe nodded and said, "The task is to clean up this area and prepare for the arrival of the large army. ”

"Cleaning the area?" Fu Yue next to him was surprised: "The enemy may have all shrunk here!" Makoto, I thought you had reported on the density of enemies in this area. ”

Of course, Makoto had already reported it, and he also frowned: "Although there is an intelligence advantage brought by White Eyes, the enemy has also been prepared. ”

Although in this harsh environment, the enemy will definitely shrink and the connection between them will be severed, with the intelligence support of the white eye, it is possible to send an elite ninja with explosive power like Makoto to carry out surprise attacks and encirclement, which is also the reason why Makoto said before that "the time for harvest" is coming.

However, sending a team to clear and uproot the enemy's stronghold, and "clearing a certain area to prepare for the arrival of reinforcements" are two completely different concepts, the former is guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare under the superiority of information, like these ninjas in the second echelon, the mobility ability is relatively good, can easily achieve great results, and when the enemy's large forces react to carry out encirclement and suppression, they withdraw in time. The latter is different, sweeping, holding on, which means fighting a war of attrition with the enemy, even if the battle between the ninjas has a relatively large space for transfer, often the so-called "concentrated battle" is only a few thousand troops distributed in a vast area of more than a dozen or even dozens of kilometers, you come and go, so the Konoha ninjas can effectively use the space to avoid losses, but the huge number gap with the enemy determines that this will be a difficult and even dangerous battle.

If you stick to the mission goal of "sweeping", a collision with a large enemy force is almost inevitable, after all, it is a ninja war, and it would be naïve to think that you can destroy the opponent's front-line troops without the enemy even noticing.

"I know," the subtle expression of kindness on Tobe Castle's face disappeared, replaced by a strange look of bitterness and firmness, "So please be prepared to dedicate yourself to the village." ”

How bad has the situation been? Makoto and Fuyue glanced at each other, and their hearts were palpitating.

Although Tobe said this, the second echelon was originally an elite selected from the army to take into account both mobility and hard combat capabilities, so except for the Uchiha team who were a little uneasy when they first heard this information, the faces of several ninjas behind Tobe did not change in the slightest.

The original task was to block, but now because of the favorable environment brought by the heavy rain, Konoha was able to turn defense into offense, and instead gained a certain initiative, these ninjas were actually a little lucky in their hearts.

No one spoke for a while, and Tobe waited a few seconds to give Makoto enough time for Team Makoto to digest the information before taking a deep breath and saying, "So, Captain Makoto, can we start this mission?" ”

Although it is a question sentence, on the battlefield, there is actually no ninja who can say "no".

Makoto's eyes calmly met the tentative eyes of the head of the household army, and nodded lightly.

"Okay," in an instant, all the expressions on Tobe's face disappeared, and he became a kind of indifference that only a veteran of a hundred battles could have, and he glanced at the mountain behind him.

Makoto's voice sounded in front of him, and he said, "Second echelon, mission: to clean up this area. Next, the number and location of the enemy will be guided by the fixed opinion, and the execution will start immediately! ”

Be!

The ninjas who had been hiding outside the cave immediately began to move, quickly and cautiously following the hidden spots formed by the rocks and the gaps between the cliffs, and began to disperse in all directions.

With a slight wave of his hand, Tobe Castle followed him with two ninjas, while the remaining few people began to eliminate the traces, including a Hinata and a Yamanaka, and Makoto knew that these people were going to stay here and take command in the center.

The head of the household army looked at Cheng and said softly: "Chengjun, take care." ”

This voice, taking off the mask of the commander and the temporary captain, he said it to Makoto in a personal relationship.

Regardless of the stunned expression on Makoto's face, he turned to leave, and the two Konoha ninjas quickly followed. As the captain, he does not have the privilege of hiding in a safe place to command when there are people in the mountains to liaise in the middle.

Is it the cause of white teeth? Makoto faintly realized, but now was not the time to think about this, Makoto turned around and motioned for a few subordinates to follow, and quickly walked out of the cave.

A three-dimensional three-dimensional map appeared clearly in the brain, although the terrain was pitch black, but in the positive area, there were nests of Bose light clusters distributed high and low.

"Captain Makoto, at one o'clock, the number of enemies is twelve, please take position quickly, and wait for the next contact, and start attacking." Yamanaka Gumi's voice swirled and fell, and it was obvious that in addition to Makoto, he had many people to contact and inform.

In the white vision, one by one the Konoha team began to move towards their targets, and Makoto secretly memorized the location of his team's targets, and also led his subordinates to start moving.
