Chapter 30: The Vanishing Thirteenth Detachment
When Spider Maru came back with a scream, Uehara and the others were about to start their lunch, "Uehara, guess how I caught this dead bird?" ”
Spider Maru carried an unknown bird in his hand, and swayed in front of Uehara.
"Flying down with kunai? I can shoot a bird, yes, Spider Maru. Uehara said, glancing at him.
"It's not kunai, guess again!" Spider Maru shook his head repeatedly, pretending to be mysterious.
"Spider Maru, get down to business!" With a bang, Yukino's fist landed on Spidermaru's chest, and Spidermaru immediately wilted.
"The business is ...... The business is, we didn't wait for the reconnaissance squad of the 13th detachment. Spidermaru threw the bird to Uehara and asked him to dispose of it himself, thinking that it would be delicious to eat it roasted.
Uehara had no choice but to put down his food and help him dispose of the bird first, "The thirteenth detachment didn't send a reconnaissance team, it's troublesome, and I really guessed it." While Uehara was dealing with it, he invited Spidermaru to sit down and dine with Uehara's class.
"Spider Maru, seeing you so happy, what's wrong? How did the bird get down? Uehara looked at Spider Maru and stopped talking, and then looked at Yukino who had just beaten him, a little curious.
"I kicked this dead bird down!" Spider Maru said proudly.
"Kicked down? I don't believe it! "There is a secret technique called Yan Hui, the blade that sweeps straight down from the air can separate the swallows flying at low altitudes, if Spider Pill can achieve this level only by relying on physical skills, then he can be regarded as a master.
"Really!" Spider Pill saw that Uehara didn't believe it, and was a little angry, "The second stage kick you said can really kick very high, and this dead bird always follows us, not far above our heads......"
"Wait!" Uehara grasped the point, "You mean...... Didn't you notice anything strange with you? "When things go wrong, there must be demons.
"We think it's probably a psychic beast, but there's only one one, so we can't be sure, if we meet another one, someone must be watching us." As a ninja, although Spidermaru is very aggressive, his vigilance is not low.
"Then you don't have to deal with it, don't eat it, the ghost knows if it's a psychic beast, what if it's poisonous." Halfway through the treatment, Uehara dug a pit at his feet with kunai and buried the dead bird.
"Spider Pill, hurry up and eat and rest, we have to go to the camp of the thirteenth detachment to have a look, things are getting stranger and stranger." Handed Spider Pill a box of rice balls, stopping him from taking out compressed biscuits, to recover his strength quickly, or more delicate food to digest.
Spider Maru nodded, took the lunch box and left, "Why are you going?" Uehara grabbed him.
"Yukino hasn't eaten ...... yet"
"Poof...... Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you, Xue Nai and Xuele Yarn Fat Guy are together......"
……
"Pack up your things, don't leave them behind." Generally, within an hour after eating, it is not conducive to strenuous exercise, but something like a suspected psychic beast appeared, and Uehara and Sasaki Spider Maru discussed it during the meal, and everyone unanimously decided to rush to the thirteenth detachment as soon as possible.
Uehara didn't know where the 13th detachment was stationed, to be exact, he only knew that there was a kunai nailed under a big tree, which was the place where the two detachments exchanged information on a daily basis, but Spidermaru waited for almost a morning, and he didn't see the reconnaissance squad of the 13th detachment.
Dense from the forest, it is difficult to find a base that does not cover a large area, and a dragnet search is bound to disperse everyone, Uehara will not agree, there are only so few people left, and Uehara will not agree to lose a single one.
I didn't find it before, but now Uehara feels that there are still talents in the 14th detachment. For example, Yamashima Shige, a dark, thin, rough-skinned and timid boy, I heard that he used to be a descendant of Orion, and he has quite good tracking ability. The team composed of Yamashima and Spider Pill Sasaki led the way in front, and there were not many detours, and when the sun was about to set in the afternoon, Uehara could already vaguely see the location of the thirteenth detachment.
The foundation of the camp is obviously raised, a cut higher than the ground next to it, and it is difficult to find it. For Earth Escape Ninjutsu, it is too convenient to build a station.
"Uehara, we went to the camp to see it, but there was no one." Sasaki and they are back, full of disappointment. The long journey was just to meet up with other detachments, but now the first step of the plan did not go well, and everyone was not very happy.
"I guess they're the same as we thought, maybe they've moved somewhere else." Uehara really couldn't find any excuse to comfort everyone, and explained lamely.
"Heavy, did you find anything?" Uehara asked with a smile, and among the core combat power members in Uehara's heart, another Yamashima Shige. As an efficient and all-round combat force, the value of ninjas is not only reflected in its strong combat effectiveness, but also in other reconnaissance capabilities, tracking capabilities, intelligence gathering capabilities, and so on.
"Their camp was clearly vandalized, and there were also traps and the like, and there were still signs of fighting in the camp." Carefully analyzed, "Captain Uehara, you'd better take a look at it yourself......"
"I'm definitely going to take a look, but it's not that I don't believe in your ability! If you didn't have Yamashima, you would still be wandering around the woods! "Thumbs up to Yamashima without hesitation, this kind of guy who can rely on broken branches and scraped bark all the way to the camp of the thirteenth detachment, no matter how you look at it, can be regarded as a talent.
"Take a break, everyone!" If no one from the 13th team was found, it means that the neighborhood is not safe, so it is necessary to recover your strength before entering the camp of the 13th team. Although the 13th detachment was close at hand, in Uehara's opinion, it was impossible to be too careful.
……
"Sasaki, you say, how is their camp compared to ours?" The earliest camps of each detachment were arranged by the experienced upper ninja class in the detachment, and they were different.
The camp of the 14th detachment is more like a large training ground, while the camp of the 13th detachment is more like a temporary outpost, with a guard tower around the perimeter of the wall, and the trees that have been cleared outside the wall.
However, when I walked in, I found that the camp was full of potholes, and no other defenses were found except for a few abandoned tents, unlike the 14th detachment, which had set up dense traps and two walls that played an important role after the departure of the upper ninja class. It seems that the person in charge of the thirteenth detachment is a dogmatic imp.
"I don't think it's as good as our camp." Spider Pill pursed his lips, "Those big pits, they should be caused by the Water Escape Ninjutsu, right?" We'll take a break from the camp while we're leaving, and maybe we'll have to go back later. Spider Maru stepped forward and picked up a tent and looked at it, "There is no obvious damage, even if they are transferred, why don't they take it with them?" "You know, half of the people killed in the 14th detachment, except for the underwear of the sacrificed companions, other tents and tableware are carefully sealed under the initiative of Uehara, and God knows when it will come in handy.
"There is only one set of tents in the village, how can there be more than one?" Uehara looked at the tents covered in dirt and thought for a moment, "There are nine tents, probably ...... They lost nine people, nine people, not much. It didn't affect the combat effectiveness too much, but, where did they go? ”
