It was late at night, and it had been a few days since they left the Grass Ninja Village, and today was the day they returned to the Land of Fire. As long as you successfully cross the border, then there is basically no danger.

Ahead is the patrol area.

In Aoyagi's perception, a lot of chakra fluctuations moved in the area ahead, and some of them felt quite powerful.

The four shadows stopped, waiting for Aoyagi to probe what was ahead.

"In many cases, border patrols can only serve as a guard against large enemy forces. With a border of its size, it would be almost impossible to monitor it completely, and that would require an extremely large number of ninjas. ”

"It's dangerous to stay in an enemy area for a long time, and the longer you go, the more likely you are to be detected." Xiong fumbled with his mask, "I don't have time to figure out the rules of patrolling before we set off, just look for weak areas and force a breakthrough." ”

After moving a few places, Aoyagi closed his eyes again. He changed the shape of the perceptual area and scanned the distance in a fan-shaped shape: "Chakra is not perceptible ahead. ”

"Then get out of here."

The four shadows quickly rushed into the night, and soon crossed nearly half the way.

Aoyagi felt a little uncomfortable with what appeared in his field of vision: "Chakra suddenly appeared in front of me. The right rear is the same way. ”

After estimating, Aoyagi was a little distressed: "If we don't change direction, they may find us." ”

Xiong waved his hand, and the four immediately changed directions.

After a while, Aoyagi sensed it again, and after confirming the situation, his heart jumped: "The other party also changed direction, is it a coincidence?" ”

"No, the other party is coming for us," Aoyagi frowned, closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing the situation in each direction separately, so that the perception distance was far enough, "It's troublesome, the front, the rear, and the left and right farther away, there are chakra reactions, and they are getting closer." ”

"We are surrounded. What's going on, how does the other party perceive us? ”

Aoyagi's heart moved, narrowing the scope of perception, concentrating on the situation around him.

After narrowing down the range of perception, Aoyagi found an anomaly, why did the background value in perception increase? In other words, the surrounding area seems to be covered with extremely thin chakra, and if it weren't for the narrowing of the perception range and the improvement of accuracy, Aoyagi would not have known that the four of them were in this situation.

"The grass is covered with very faint chakras, and it is likely that the enemy relies on these chakras for perception." Aoyagi secretly annoyed: "He or them, the range of perception is farther than mine. ”

"Maybe it's to use the grass that you can see everywhere on the ground and sense the situation around you by the way they are trampled or touched."

"Then, let's use shadow clones to interfere with each other."

After the white mist, the four people became eight people, and they were divided into two teams to act.

Sure enough, after the two teams split up for a while, the enemy's movements stalled.

Then, Aoyagi suddenly felt like he was being targeted! Aoyagi looked at the other three and found that their bodies were also moving a little, did they also sense it?

"It seems that because of our actions, the other party is no longer hiding and has stepped up its investigation." The bear's voice was calm, as if it had been anticipated.

"Although they have divided their forces, and there are half fewer people chasing us, but," Aoyagi stopped sensing and opened his eyes, "even then, it will be difficult to avoid the enemy. ”

"We didn't encounter that when we infiltrated before. The enemy has a strong reconnaissance ability and a quick response. The eagle said something rarely.

"It's really troublesome, and there was a mistake at the last moment." The fox grumbled, too.

"Maybe this place was a trap in the first place." Xiong was very calm, and explained as he walked forward, "On the surface, it is a place with a lax defense. It was also common sense that there were fewer patrols, and there were no flaws in it, after all, there were not many people who needed to defend the border from this place to cross the border through a small plain sandwiched between two mountains, and more ninjas were assigned to the two nearby mountains. Although the mountain peaks have less of an impact on the ninja's movements, it is much easier to cross the border from the flat ground. ”

"They only need to place one or two ninjas who are good at long-range perception in the distance, and notify the surrounding team in time when they perceive an anomaly, then they can surround the people who step into the trap. I've never heard of this kind of arrangement in Grass Ninja Village before, but it seems that it's a long-range perception ninja that has only recently been obtained? Or is it that it has been well hidden before, and the people who found it have been annihilated by them, so naturally there is no relevant information. ”

The bear was still there leisurely analyzing, and Aoyagi was a little anxious: "Captain, where do we break through?" Flat or mountainous? ”

"The enemy will definitely rush to the flat ground first, and such a narrow place can easily be blocked. Or there are more options for mountainous areas. ”

"Now we can only try to avoid the enemy and reduce the number of people we need to face. So next your perception is important, and you lead the way. ”

"Okay." Aoyagi jumped to the front of the group, concentrating on the enemy's position and movements, constantly predicting their position.

The real team and the shadow clone team that acted separately each adjusted their direction several times, and Aoyagi found that only the team in front of them would always change due to the change in the direction of travel of himself and others, and the reaction speed of the other encircled teams was much slower.

Unfortunately, the team that reacted quickly was coming towards the real team.

In this case, the ninja with remote perception should stay in front of the team, and the other teams need their intelligence to make adjustments, which also causes their reaction delay to be long.

In that case, where should they go based on their current position, speed, and movement?

Aoyagi's brain spun wildly, thinking about the best route to escape.

No matter how you calculate, it is almost impossible to completely avoid all the enemies, so you have to choose the route with the fewest number of people, and you have to meet in a place where you are not easily surrounded.

Judging from the mobility and reaction speed of the opponent, it is difficult to get rid of the team that contains the long-range perception ninja, so it is better to collide with them. What you can now choose is when and where the battle will take place.

After determining the enemy's pattern of action, Aoyagi stops perceiving to regain his spirits. After calculating for nearly ten minutes, Aoyagi turned and headed in the other direction, and at the same time, the shadow clones accelerated in the opposite direction, taking the other half of the enemy farther away.

Aoyagi breathed a sigh of relief when he reopened his perception and learned that the enemy's actions were as expected. The next thing is a head-on battle, and a forced breakthrough is made.
