Chapter 44: Winning the jackpot
In the middle of some sparse pine trees, a young ninja wearing goggles quietly hid in the treetops, hiding his body with the help of the shade of the trees, and at the same time scanning left and right with small movements, inquiring about the surrounding environment.
After some movement, the boy jumped off the treetops and entered the hollow of a tree not far away.
Some of the dark hollows were a little crowded, as there were already two other people waiting in them.
"No trace of the enemy has been found in the vicinity."
The Uchiha took the soil into the tree hole and looked at the two companions who were also dirty, listless, and looked embarrassed.
In the past few days, as they go deeper, the frequency of the enemy has become higher and higher, so it is inevitable to experience a few vicious battles, and embarrassment is inevitable, plus entering the hinterland of the earth country, the number of woods is reduced, the number of enemies is increasing, and the time to rest and adjust is getting less and less, and the state is inevitably not good.
"It's good that there are no enemies, so let's get some rest now." Kakashi's beautiful white hair was no longer shiny, but his tone was still very flat.
"Let's eat something." Nohara Rin smiled and handed Uchiha Obito a few military food pills.
The Rations Pill evolved from the Soldier Food, which could provide the ninja with the energy they needed for a day, but the taste of this stuff was actually not good, it was very hard, and it was very dry to eat, and it was difficult to swallow without drinking a lot of water.
But Uchiha Obito ate it quickly, because it was something that Rin gave him, so even if it was a military food pill, it tasted exceptionally delicious.
After a brief rest, the three of them regained some of their spirits, and Kakashi pulled the map out of his bag and explained it to the other two.
"Our current position is probably here, and if we go straight from here, we will only be about half a day's walk away from our mission goal, so we should rest now and strive to complete this mission tonight!"
"In the past few days, the pattern of Iwa Shinobi appearing has become more and more frequent, but the number of people who appear in the team is also getting smaller and smaller, which shows that the battle on the front line is very fierce at this time, so Iwain Village continues to send teams to the front line from the rear, and from the fact that the number of people is getting smaller and smaller, we can also get such a messageββ"
"In the rear of Yanyin Village, there are not many troops at this time!"
Kakashi said, pointing out a dot on the map for Kannubi Bridge and their location, and then drew an arrow.
"So at this time! It's our chance! β
"Can't delay any longer!"
"Just tonight, complete our mission!"
At the same time, there is no place for God to be bridged.
Dozens of Iwakuin ninjas carrying large and small scrolls appeared here.
The leading ninja looked at the sunset that had already appeared red, and then at the panting companions behind him, and exhaled: "Let's get here first, it's not efficient to travel at night, let's rest here tonight." β
"But Captain Tajima, these materials on us are very urgently needed on the front line!"
A sturdy-looking and somewhat honest man said: "We don't have to do anything, take a little rest, we can still hurry." β
"You can't let the supplies keep up with the battle affect the battle!"
"It doesn't matter! Let's not forget that we're going to be on the battlefield too, and keeping us in the best shape is key! β
Captain Tajima said: "Moreover, these supplies are not so urgent, after all, a team of people has already sent some yesterday. β
"But......" The man said in embarrassment, "I'm afraid those supplies won't last tomorrow......"
"The day after tomorrow!" Captain Tajima said, "Don't forget, there are dead people all the time on the battlefield, and in the period when we learned that the number of people was being delivered, the number of deliveries was actually overrun. β
"Have a good rest, a rapid march consumes physical strength, and we can't use up all our physical strength and energy to serve the enemy as a battle merit because we are in a hurry."
The world is so unimaginable, who would have known that in such a stalemate of the battle, there would be teams that would stop and rest, and just rest in the most undesirable place!
Kakashi swore that if he had known it would be like this, he would have preferred to spend an extra day in that tree hole!
In that case, maybe everything will change......
The moon hangs in the middle of the sky, and although it is occasionally obscured by clouds, the silver spilling down is a unique sight.
"It's a beautiful night tonight, and I can see it as clearly as the day!"
The Uchiha Obito leaps up in the treetops, nimble like an ape!
"Don't be careless, although this kind of night makes it convenient for us to hurry, it also makes it difficult for us to conceal our whereabouts, so we must be more careful not to be discovered by the enemy......"
Kakashi was talking, but he saw the Uchiha Obito in front of him suddenly stop, turning his head and looking at him very dissatisfied.
"What's wrong?" Kakashi said, "Any complaints?" β
"No, I just want you to close your crow's mouth......" Uchiha Obito pointed ahead.
"See for yourself......"
"We've hit the jackpot!"
Kakashi and Nohara Rin stepped forward to take a look, and they saw that there were several fires burning at the head of the Kamimubi Bridge, and on the edge of the fires, there were seven or eight resting Iwa ninjas, and at the edge of the circle, there were ninjas on duty.
"How could it be...... There are so many people?! β
Nohara Rin was shocked by what she saw, but fortunately she covered her mouth in time, otherwise she would have made a sound.
Kakashi also withdrew his gaze and gestured twice at the two of them, both of whom nodded in unison and stepped back together, hiding in a relatively hidden place.
"So what now? Kakashi. Uchiha Obito lowered his voice and asked, "There are so many ninjas there." β
"All the tactics that were planned before were abandoned, and we had to reformulate the tactics." Kakashi said, "Then complete the mission!" β
"Are you crazy? Just the three of us?! Against so many ninjas?! β
Uchiha Obito said, "You're asking us to die!" β
"Otherwise, let's wait for Mr. Watergate to come over." Nohara Rin also proposed.
"No! As a ninja, you have to complete the mission even if you die! Kakashi said, "This mission is very important, and it will have an extraordinary effect on changing the entire battle situation, so it must be completed!" β
"If we can finish it sooner, we can end the war sooner and reduce casualties, so we can't delay, and we can't put our hopes on teachers who don't know when they will appear!"
Uchiha Obito's eyes widened and he looked at Kakashi in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid of death?" β
"I'm just afraid I won't be able to complete the mission!"
Kakashi said indifferently, "A ninja who can't complete the mission has no value in existence. β
