Chapter 51: The Attacked Grain Delivery Team
On the road flanked by a dense forest, a team of ninjas of dozens of people slowly moved forward.
All of them were on foot, guarding the dozen or so wagons that were advancing like snails, all of them looking highly alerted.
They are the ninjas of Konoha Village, and their mission is to escort these dozen carts of food from the fog and loot to the frontline camp safely.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
At the head of the line was a man with eyes like cataracts.
He was a son of the Hyuga clan, but he was a son of a separate family, as he had a cyan cross mark on his forehead and two grooves in the opposite direction, which was the sign that the caged bird seal had been imposed.
Because of the theft of Hinata's white eyes, the Hyuga clan has become extremely cautious and has recalled all the children of the clan.
At this time, the Hyuga clan who will still appear on the border of the Fire Nation can only be the children of the Hyuga clan.
As a perceptual ninja, every once in a while, he will activate his white eyes to probe the surroundings, especially the dense forests on both sides, which is the focus of exploration.
When it was time to investigate again, he rolled his eyes, and immediately saw dozens of strange human figures appearing on both sides of the dense forest more than a few hundred meters in front of him, appearing in the flow of meridians and chakra.
This is the unique vision that the White Eye acquires when it is activated, in which the person is presented to the White Eye holder in the form of meridians and chakra flows.
Although all of these people are hiding in the dense forest, and some of them have even performed transformation techniques, under the white eyes, everything is hidden.
"Enemy attack, all on alert!"
Hearing Hinata's warning, in the team, a middle-aged man wearing a green vest who seemed to be the leader of the team immediately commanded.
Suddenly, dozens of ninjas all moved, took out their weapons one after another, and stood guard around the carriage.
"Harada-sama, Chisato-sama, we've been discovered!"
Almost as soon as the Konoha ninja put on guard, the fog was already spotted, and one of the ninjas, who seemed to be scouts, came to the two middle-aged men and said.
"It seems that there are sentient ninjas among them."
Hearing the debriefing, one of the men frowned.
"In that case, let's make a head-on raid, and all of them will follow me!"
The other man said coldly.
"Yes."
A group of fog hidden ninjas, led by two leading men, rushed towards the Konoha ninjas who were escorting food.
On the dusty road, Sato Shin and a group of ninjas who went to pick up the food delivery team were running continuously.
Suddenly, Mikumo, who was running in the mountains, quickly came to the front of the team, Uesugi, and said.
"My lord, there are violent chakra fluctuations ahead, it should be fighting."
"Huh?!"
Hearing Mikumo's report from Yamashinami, Ikegami Sugi was shocked and hurriedly asked.
"How much can you perceive?"
"There were dozens of people, but not more than 100."
Yamashan Mikumo replied.
"It's not good, it should be that the grain transport team is being attacked, all the staff are marching at full speed, pay attention to vigilance!"
After knowing the approximate number, Ikegami Sugi suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly ordered the ninjas behind him.
"Yes."
Including Sato Shin, everything should be at the same time, and the speed suddenly increased.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
There was a puff of dust on the ground, and everyone swept away, all of them raising their speeds to the highest level.
On the road, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were parked in the middle of the road, and around them, fierce battles were taking place.
From time to time, people were injured and even died, and the red blood kept spilling, falling on the yellow-brown mud ground, one puddle after another, dazzling and terrifying.
The middle-aged man who is the leader of the Konoha grain transportation team is a shinobi, and at this time, he is fighting with the two misty shinobi, and he is at an absolute disadvantage, and he has even been injured on his body.
Fire escape. Dragonfire Bullet.
Boom, boom, boom!
A massive amount of chakra flames, dancing like a raging dragon, instantly swept a large area in front of them, and as far as the eye could see, there were flames.
Relying on this B-level Fire Escape Ninjutsu to temporarily force the two Mist Ninjas back, his eyes looked at the other places where he was fighting, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
More than a dozen Konoha ninjas have already died in battle, and the number of mist hidden in the field has an absolute advantage, and the situation is very unfavorable to them, if this continues, I am afraid that the entire grain transportation team will be wiped out!
Although the ambush of the foggy concealment was discovered in advance, in the face of the absolute strength gap, the Konoha grain transport team was still losing one after another, and even many people had a desperate look on their faces.
"I don't know if I can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"
He knew that the Konoha border camp had already sent reinforcements, but he was completely unsure whether the reinforcements would arrive in time.
After all, the situation on the side of the grain transport team is very bad, and perhaps in the next moment, the whole line may collapse.
"Hold on, reinforcements are already on their way and will arrive soon."
Although he felt that there was little hope, the middle-aged man who was the leader of the team still spoke out to boost morale.
Sure enough, hearing his words, the eyes of some ninjas who had already fallen into despair rekindled flames, and with the support of the idea of survival, they actually forcibly blocked the Mist Ninja who were obviously more numerous than them.
"Waiting for reinforcements?! Die to this heart! ”
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, a misty ninja did not pull a single stroke in his hand, leaving a deep scar on the body of a ninja who was struggling to resist under Konoha, and said with a look of disdain.
"In the near future, even your leader Shangnin will die at the hands of two adults, with the two adults joining, how long can you hold on?"
Hearing the words of the Fog Hidden Ninja, the face of the Lower Ninja who was struggling to resist the Misty Hidden Ninja suddenly turned pale, and the flame of hope that had been ignited just now was extinguished again.
The leader of the team has been injured, he naturally saw it, obviously, under the attack of the two Misty Hidden Shinobi, even the leader of the team is in danger, as the Misty Shinobi said, once the leader of the Shinobi is defeated, the two Misty Shinobi can easily kill all of them.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Suddenly, in the dense forests on both sides, countless shurikens suddenly appeared, like black rain brushes falling from the sky, shooting towards the backs of the fog hidden ninjas on the periphery.
When they came to the vicinity of the battle, Sato Shin and the others immediately identified the identities of the two warring parties.
As expected, it was a foggy team attacking the grain delivery team, and depending on the situation, it was still precarious and could be destroyed at any time.
Even so, Ikegami did not lead the team to join the battle directly, but made arrangements for a sneak attack.
"Oh no, Konoha reinforcements have arrived!"
Hearing the sound of breaking the air, one of the two ninjas in the fog looked sideways, and his expression suddenly became bad, and he immediately shouted a warning, but it was still too late.
Poof, poof, poof!
The sound of shuriken shooting into flesh rang out intensively.
Unexpectedly, an enemy would suddenly appear behind him, and suddenly more than 20 fog ninjas were shot by shurikens on the spot, and five fog ninjas were unlucky and were shot in the head and fell to the ground to death.
Some of them didn't react, while others did, but they were entangled by the Konoha ninja and didn't have time to dodge at all.
"Damn, even if Konoha reinforcements arrive, you're going to die!"
Hit a shuriken in the back, a sharp pain suddenly came, and the face of the ninja in the fog showed a hideous color, and he endured Konoha who had been injured in many places on his body and was slightly sluggish, and he was stabbed hard.
"Ahh
Originally, because of the arrival of reinforcements, Konoha Shinobi, who saw a chance to live, was blank in his mind the next moment, obviously the reinforcements had arrived, but he couldn't hold on to that time.
The strong reluctance and despair made him can't help but let out an unwilling roar, trying his best to dodge.
But the misty shinobi won't give him this opportunity, and the kunai quickly pierced through the heart of Konoha Shinobi.
Shout!
An eerie sound was heard, followed by a muffled sound.
Konoha Shinobu was already desperate, but he was shocked to find that Shinobi's hand in the fog was frozen in mid-air, and he hadn't stabbed it for a long time.
He looked at it in surprise, and suddenly saw that the fog was hidden in the chest, and at some point, a kunai had been inserted.
The crimson blood kept flowing down, and most of the kunai fell into the body of the Misty Hidden Ninja, and there was no doubt that the heart of the Misty Hidden Ninja should have been pierced.
