On the evening of April 20.

The Konoha ninja troops led by Orochimaru rushed to the border of the Fire Country and stationed themselves in a riverside clearing only a dozen kilometers away from the Land of Rain, preparing to officially enter the Land of Rain tomorrow.

Some of the ninjas of the earth and fire escapes were busy, setting up camps and lighting fires, and after a while, three thousand ninjas settled down by the river, resting and patrolling.

"Captain Dingza."

Qiu Dao Dingza, who was immersed in reading the documents, raised his head when he heard the sound and said, "Ah, Changye, you are here. ”

The people who came were none other than the four of Mume Changye and Ignorant Fire Genma.

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo flipped through the documents in his hand, nodded and said: "There is a patrol mission to be assigned to you tonight, C-level, the mission experience is recorded three times, the task subsidy is 42,000 taels, and the time is from nine to twelve o'clock ......"

The remuneration for war missions comes in the form of a "subsidy", mainly because participating in the war is an obligation of the ninja to the ninja village, and there is obviously no remuneration for fulfilling the obligation, only a subsidy.

Of course, although it is an obligation, the rewards of participating in military operations are still very rich, and in addition to mission subsidies, there will also be benefits such as combat allowances, forbearance allowances, and injury allowances.

After a large-scale war, the gains are considerable, and if you are lucky enough to have a lot of loot, you can make a lot of money - as long as the person does not die.

"Go to Hiza and report there, he'll arrange a patrol route for you." Qiu Dao Ding Zuo handed over a document and said.

"Gone." As soon as Kime Nagaye beckoned, he led the three of them away.

Later, the four of them found Hinata Hiza, who was in charge of patrolling, and handed him the documents of Akido Dingza, and after learning the route, they prepared to start a three-hour night patrol.

Mumu Changye made a seal, leaned over and slapped it to the ground, and immediately the ground was raised with three ashlars.

"Genma, Xiaoshou, prepare a stand-in technique."

Seeing this, Akai, who didn't know how to use the stand-in technique, couldn't help but swallow a little nervously: "Teacher, do you think we will encounter an enemy attack tonight?" ”

Mumu Nagaye groaned slightly: "We are only a dozen kilometers away from the Land of Rain now, and the enemy may have noticed it a long time ago, and it is entirely possible to send people to attack the camp." ”

"Maybe even Yuyin and Shayin are now ambushed nearby, ready to take action."

Akai: "......"

Mumu Changye smiled: "So you have to step up your ninjutsu ability, the Five Elements Escape Technique or anything doesn't require you to learn it, but the basic three-body technique, shadow clone and chakra control skills must still be mastered." ”

"Yes." Akai nodded.

"Click." At this moment, the sound of rocks breaking at their feet caught their attention.

Ebisu, who had just finished preparing for the stand-in technique, couldn't help but be stunned: "Genma, what are you doing?" ”

But seeing that Huo Genma was holding the kunai at this time, he leaned over and chiseled a few lower stones one after another, chiseled out a gap, and then took out three detonation charms and stuffed them in.

"Hiding a few detonation charms in it, and activating the stand-in technique when you encounter danger, may be able to play some unexpected roles."

As he spoke, he didn't know that Huo Xuanma had formed the seal of the stand-in technique, and slapped his palm on the ashlar.

Mumu Changye couldn't help but be surprised, but then he touched his chin and muttered, "I don't really recommend that you use this tactic. ”

"Why?" I don't know the fire and Xuanjian was stunned.

"On the one hand, it's expensive...... But you shouldn't pay much attention to that. ”

"The most important point is that since the dodge range of the stand-in technique is small, you hide the detonation charm in this stone, and the fragments thrown by the explosion are likely to hurt yourself." "I remember my teacher telling me that he did it when he was younger, and that he was indeed scratched by shards. ”

He then added: "Of course, if you use it carefully, maybe this is a surprising trick." ”

I don't know that Huo Genma nodded, didn't say anything, and his face showed a bit of contemplation.

"Let's start patrolling."

"Yes."

Immediately, Mumu Nagaye led the three of them along the established route and began to patrol the perimeter of the camp.

"Whew...... Woo......"

The site of the four-man patrol was next to a dense forest, and the sound of wolf howls could be heard from time to time, which sounded quite terrifying.

Fortunately, they slowly got used to it, and the ninjas in the camp quickly fell asleep, leaving only the campfire and patrol ninjas still active.

Late at night, after eleven o'clock.

"I'm a little sleepy." Ebisu yawned.

"The most sleepy time is the most dangerous time, so when patrolling and guarding, the more tired you feel, the more vigilant you must be. ”

After a pause, he added: "At least until the shift change team is out of code, we must not relax." ”

Another ten minutes passed.

"Whew...... Woo...... "The sound of wolf howls still resounded from time to time in the dense forest.

The breeze brings a little coolness.

"Ah, save—"

At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly came from not far away, making the originally soft night breeze seem to become cold in an instant.

"Be careful!"

I don't know that the faces of the three of them changed drastically, and they were about to turn around, but Mumu Changye on the side quickly sealed, and a solid earth wall instantly rose with both hands on the ground.

Immediately, I heard a loud "boom", and the earth wall was torn apart by a violent wind bomb, and the earth and rocks were scattered everywhere, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

Kime Nagaye shouted, and then drew his sword and rushed out, meeting the attacking Yuyin Shangnin.

Behind the Yugakure Shinobi were three ninjas who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, each wearing a ninja vest, and they were all middle ninjas.

In addition to these four people, there were also many ninjas from Yuyin and Shayin around, who seemed to be middle ninjas and upper ninjas, who quickly rushed out of the dense forest and attacked the Konoha camp.

"Open-on-open!"

Seeing that the enemies were all above the middle ninja, Akai directly opened three doors in a row, and met a middle ninja with a nunchuck in his hand, as fast as the wind.

Ebisu also used his illusion and gritted his teeth and rushed over.

I don't know that Huo Genma took out four quenched poison thousand copies, and while rushing with a knife, he threw the thousand copies violently.

"Ding, ding, ding."

On the opposite side was a rain hidden ninja holding a long iron rod, and his long stick turned sharply, and he dropped four thousand copies of the bullet aside.

Ignorant Huo Xuanma jumped up, and the long knife in his hand immediately flashed with bursts of fiery color, and slashed at the enemy.

"Boom!"

Silverblade was blocked by the long stick, and sparks flew everywhere.

With a twist of his wrist, the blade slashed straight at the enemy's right hand.

In the rain, the forbearance let go of his right hand, held a stick in his left hand, and turned his arm to hit.

The two of you went back and forth, and after less than two minutes of hand-to-hand fighting, I don't know that the age disadvantage of Huo Xuanma was highlighted.

Although his physique has surpassed most of his peers, compared to the physique of the other party, which is close to adulthood, it is obviously still a little worse, and his strength is not enough.

"Ahh

At this moment, there was a sudden cry of anger not far away.

I don't know that the afterglow of the fire was swept away, but it was Yuyin Zhongshinobi, who was fighting with Akai, who was suddenly broken in one leg, and Akai was also knocked out and fell to the ground.

"Die, little ghost!"

Yuyin endured a loud shout, and the seal slammed the ground, and the place where Akai landed immediately raised the earth wall and surrounded it.
