"The fourth, eighth, and thirteenth squads, lead the way to investigate, and the others speed up and arrive at Mingluo Gorge!"

As soon as Jie's shout fell, more than a dozen figures quickly rushed forward.

It may be that in order to make it more convenient for the three generations to command, except for a few replacement of the dark team, the other teams are basically those people.

As for the information of these people, Jie also had a general understanding in his heart, and the 4th, 8th, and 13th were the most outstanding reconnaissance teams among these people, with strong mobility and a wide range of investigations.

As the team leader, Jie can no longer rush alone as before, and has to think about the team members and avoid risks.

He is more vigilant by nature and does not intend to rush directly to the second line of defense.

You must know that there are 20,000 ninja troops in the sand ninja, and there are less than 6,000 on the Konoha side, although the overall quality is quite different, but it is always the weak side.

In case they went just in time for the rout of Konoha when they went, wouldn't these people rush forward to die?

The speed at which everyone was moving forward instantly increased, and Kurokawa and several people followed closely by Suke's side, acting as temporary guards.

Firefly followed up with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Are you worried about the rout of the second line of defense?" ”

"Looks like you've grown a lot?"

Suketsu first praised Hotaru, and then said: "Yes, it was only two days before the sand shinobi was pushed back from the country of Kawa to the second line of defense, the strength of the other party is unexpectedly strong, we can't communicate with the garrison troops, who knows what their current situation is, what if they are being defeated?" ”

"But isn't all we have to do is support? They need our strength even more when they are defeated! ”

"You're wrong, Hokage-sama's order to me is to hold out until follow-up support arrives, which means that it's none of our business where they retreat."

"What we have to do is to help them hold out until the reinforcements arrive, if they all die before we arrive, then we will defend ourselves, and if we can't hold on, we will retreat, in short, just wait for the reinforcements."

After listening to Jie's words, Hotaru said a little uncomfortable: "But wouldn't it be too ............. to say this." ”

Before she could finish speaking, Jie waved her hand to interrupt her: "You think what I did is not kind, and it is not in line with the friendly exchanges between the same village, don't you mean this?" ”

"I'm not ........"

"Captain, a large number of enemies have been found ahead." A ninja of the Hyuga clan suddenly hurried over to interrupt Hotaru's words.

Jie stared: "How many people, which direction?" ”

"The direction of ten o'clock and eight o'clock is ten kilometers away, and the preliminary estimate is that there are about 1,500 people on both sides!"

"At eight o'clock, there is Mingluo Gorge, what is the situation in Mingluo Gorge, and whether it has been occupied by the enemy."

"Not yet, but judging by the speed of the other party's advance, it won't be long before they can occupy it."

Jie frowned and fell silent, judging from the terrain, that place was indeed a good place to defend, but the enemy had already attacked, and he didn't know what the situation was on the front line, so he was very hesitant to defend it or not.

It stands to reason that even if Konoha is defeated, it is impossible to defeat so cleanly, and even if he dies, there should be traces of a chase and kill, and there is no reason why he will not find it at all.

So why did the enemy appear in such a place, could it be that a small group of men and horses intended to block the back road, and then a large group of men and horses besieged and killed the second line of defense?

If this is the case, then the situation is very bad, in case the other party blocks the retreat, the second line of defense is really likely to be surrounded and annihilated.

At that time, these people alone will not be able to hold 20,000 ninja troops, and when the reinforcements arrive, the team will probably be beaten to the entrance of the village.

Thinking of this, Suke waved his hand and instructed loudly, "The scout ninja continues to investigate, everyone continues to speed up, and be sure to occupy the place before the enemy approaches the Meira Gorge." ”

After that, her body moved and increased her speed again, at this speed, Firefly was a little reluctant, but she still gritted her teeth and continued to follow, turning up the topic just now and said, "I'm not ............" ”

Jie interrupted her again: "Okay, I understand what you mean, and I can understand that I can sacrifice my life for my companions, but you must understand that there are only more than 300 of us in total, and it is indeed more than enough to fight a surprise battle. ”

"But if you collide with the opponent's large army, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and you will die an extremely miserable death."

Maybe your father didn't teach you this, dedication, not simply to die for your companions and the village, the hope to die is called dedication, and the hopeless to die is called the enemy.

"Making it easier for the enemy to take your life, this kind of stupid behavior of the enemy is not the purpose of the village to train you."

"Besides, taking the lives of so many people for the sake of so-called dedication, this is not the behavior of a qualified captain."

"I'm telling you this, I just want you to remember, it's okay for you to die by yourself, but don't let Kurokawa and them die because of you."

"What do you mean by that?" Firefly's face sank, and it was a bit too much to call her a brainless person, and to add the harmful spirit that dragged down her teammates. ”

"It's not interesting, I'm going to leave alone in a while, and after that, you have to listen to Kurokawa for all your actions, and don't put the team in danger because of the battle of will."

"After getting along for so long, do you think I'll be this kind of person, and the existence will make "

Hearing this, Jie smiled and didn't speak, which is equivalent to acquiescence.

It is precisely because he has been together for so long that he knows Firefly's character better than anyone else, and if this guy is stubborn, he can't stop her father's grave in front of her.

Although Kurokawa seems to be cold-blooded and ruthless, he still has a basic human touch, especially for those who believe in him, for the sake of Suke's face, he will never let Hotaru have an accident easily.

Seeing Jie's expression, Hotaru felt a touch of grievance in her heart, and by the time she opened her mouth to defend herself, Jie's had already left quickly.

In the forest, a large number of figures are running quickly, and the whistling air currents drive large maple leaves to fly, and the gorgeous scenery of fiery red is completely destroyed in the oppressive atmosphere.

"Quick, keep picking up speed, and be sure to take over there when the Konoha ninja reacts." The leader of the sand shinobi stood on the maple tree and kept waving his hand downward.

At this time, a figure hurriedly rushed over: "Captain, Konoha ninjas have been found ahead!" ”

Sand Shinobi's face changed: "Damn, did they expect it!" How many people are on the other side? ”

"Less than ten."

"Ten people? Ignore them, continue to investigate, and be sure to find out if there are people in Mingluo Gorge and how many people there are? ”

After the words fell, the man pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to the person beside him: "Inform the Sixth Force, there is a suspicion that there are Konoha ninjas stationed in Mingluo Gorge, and we need support." ”

After receiving the order, the figure quickly turned around and left without saying a word.

meanwhile

Hinata shinobu stood in front of Suke: "Judging by the speed of the other party, they will definitely arrive before me." ”

"Leave a reconnaissance team and keep an eye on the sand shinobi at 10 o'clock, and report back to me later."

"The others, the fast ones, immediately go to Mingluo Gorge to set up defenses, and I will delay your footsteps!"

After that, like a sharp arrow that shot out, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, and looked at the back of Suke's disappeared blankly.

"Stalling for time, Captain alone?" Hinata Ninja said everyone's thoughts with a confused face.

"Okay, time is urgent, let's meet at Mingluo Gorge!" A captain who had seen Jie's strength was the first to react, he hurriedly glanced at the team members, and immediately rushed out with Jie's back.

Immediately afterwards, the team changed into three ladders in an instant, with an average of 100 people each for the fast, medium and slow, and began the Mingluo Gorge race.

As soon as Jie left the team, he opened fire and slammed straight into the direction of 1,500 people, intending to disrupt their footsteps with the power of one person.

"Captain, someone is rushing over!" Iwa Shinobi hurriedly came to report.

"How many people, in that direction?"

"There's only one person, okay........ It's coming! The man's eyes widened in shock.

Needless to say, the Iwa Shinobi in the lead had already seen the figure in front of him.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he raised his hand and shouted: "The tenth unit will help me destroy the enemy, and the others will continue to advance."

With 1500 enemies, he doesn't use tailed beasts, this kind of stupid thing doesn't want to do, all he has to do is to disturb the other party's pace and slow them down for a while, which is not too difficult for Jie, who is fast enough to a certain extent.

However, in order to avoid being besieged by the enemy, he was still very safe to add all the accumulated energy to his body before he was in battle.

—A black shadow strikes, and a marginal figure who wants to move forward runs a few steps and falls straight to the ground.

Immediately after, the other figures, like him, were constantly slashed to the ground by the rushing Jie.

The head of the Iwa Shinobi stepped forward several times to block, but they were all easily bypassed, seeing this, he raised his eyebrows, there were two moments, no wonder he rushed to rush into battle, then: "Everyone is close to the team, and the preparation of the earth ninjutsu will restrict his actions, don't keep your hands, the other party must occupy Mingluo Gorge for a long time, don't give him a chance to buy time." ”

After receiving the order, the pace of the sand shinobi impact stagnated, and the formation changed instantly.

And Jie, at the moment when their impact was stagnant, turned around and retreated, easily avoiding the fate of being surrounded.

With a bang, the ground sank, and the surrounding area rose, and many large trees were thrown out by the voluntarily tumbling earth, and then the hurricane hit, and endless shuriken and kunai volleys shot at him.

Using Earth Escape Ninjutsu in the woods, this is the first time he has seen it, and he immediately jumped left and right and stepped on the treetops away from here.

With his speed far stronger than everyone else, as long as he himself does not die and stick into the pile, or is attacked by a large range of techniques, there is still no problem with safety and security.

Seeing that Suke was about to retreat, the leader of the sand ninja waved his hand and ordered many ninjas to press forward in team mode.

In the face of the sand ninja who advanced again, Jieda didn't rush up again, the danger factor was too high, he looked at a close, and raised his sword is a wind blade dragon and blasted over.

However, in front of the thousands of ninja troops, the wind blade dragon with the momentum of the eyes looked flashy, just in an instant, the dragon didn't have time to change the attack method, and turned into a breeze under the dense various attacks.

In the face of this kind of opponent, the disadvantage of long-distance attacks is fully displayed, and his attack can't even get close to the opponent's body, plus he and the sand ninja are too far away, and the other party has no scruples about fighting, and the large-scale destructive ninjutsu will be released.

But if he gets close, he doesn't dare, he's not a high-defense ninja like Thunder Shadow, as a purely violent and aggressive ninja, once the other party gathers fire, it is very likely to be killed in an instant.

Glancing at the fire that came over again, he estimated the time in his heart, retreated while fighting, and dragged the other party towards Mingluo Gorge as much as possible.
