Chapter 19: The Wandering Bandit 3
On the night of December 31, dark clouds covered the moon.
The entrance to a makeshift camp on a hillside near the border between the Fire Nation and the Wind Country, the camp is built against the mountain.
"Chengjun, it's really unlucky that we are the two of us who have a vigil for the New Year, I really want to go back to the tent, there is a young woman I just caught, don't mention the taste." A sentry standing guard said to the figure next to him.
"Who said it wasn't, and I was caught lot, I feel like it's obvious bullying, when the two of us go, there are only 4 sticks left, and T.M.D are all short lots, we two and the other two unlucky guys in the first half of the night, a group in the second half of the night, thinking about it, I was troubled, and finally a harvest was not in a hurry to taste it...... The most important thing is that today is Chinese New Year's Eve," Cheng Jun said.
"It's okay Chengjun, the time will pass in a while, I brought two bottles of wine and want a little." The sentry reached into his arms, pulled out two small wine bottles, and shook them twice.
"We're standing guard, what if someone attacks?" Cheng Jun watched as the sentry poured a sip of wine into his mouth, licked his lips and said.
"Phew, I don't think anyone will come to trouble us at this time, right? After all, we have been in the Fire Country for more than half a year, and we have always been very careful and almost no one left alive every time we go out, and it is the New Year soon, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve. The sentry let out a sigh of relief, stomped his foot twice, and turned his head in response.
"Even if there is no one, if the leader comes......." Cheng Jun said with some worry.
"Haha, it's okay, I've already scouted, and the leader was already drunk in the afternoon." The sentry put the bottle to his lips again, took a sip, and said with some smugness.
"Then give me some, weird cold," said the sentinel named Cheng Jun, wrapped his clothes vigorously, and spoke to the other sentry.
On the mountain behind the camp, on the road leading to the top of the mountain, the sound of the trees shaking suddenly came from the trees on both sides. The three figures reached the branches one after the other, shaking off many of the yellow leaves on the branches.
"How far is it?" The man who finally reached the branch asked.
"There is still about half a kilometer in Dakai." The figure who had reached the branch first spoke.
"That's soon, we should be able to get to the top of the camp because we should cross the hill ahead." Finally reach the opening road.
"Ah, my first New Year as a ninja was spent on a mission, and it's really unpleasant to think about it," the figure in the middle shouted in a crisp voice, and jumped on the branch with all his might, and the leaves fell like rain.
"Yao-chan whispered, this place is not far from the target camp, is it effective to observe Okita-kun at this distance with white eyes?" The last to arrive is the opening.
These three were the same group that traveled around them, and the three of them had been stationed in tents not far away this afternoon. Yuuka Okita conducted the preliminary reconnaissance, while the other two rested in the tent. After an afternoon of rest, the three of them have now adjusted their state and are ready to carry out this mission, under the proposal of Zhou You, Okita and Yao are no longer in the frivolous state of the first day, but in the afternoon, Hinata's reconnaissance brought good news, and the mood of the three was a little higher.
Judging from the amount of chakra in the target camp, there don't seem to be any ninjas above the amount of chakra, and the celebration of the New Year has already started at noon, and there are even more drunk, and roughly speaking, there are still basic sentinels on basic alert.
"Open" Hinata Okita roared with his hands sealed, and the green tendons near his eyes rose, and his two eyes turned white.
After about ten seconds, Hinata Okita spoke:
"Most of the people were drunk, doing all the dirty things in the tents, and they were on lower alert, except for the two sentries at the door, as if they were also drinking with bottles."
"What about their leader?" Zhou You asked.
"At the time of the afternoon observation, the guy who might have been the leader was sleeping. The guy sitting in the middle of the crowd now had a much weaker chakra flow than the leader in the afternoon. Now in the camp, in addition to the women who were molesting, even the dozen or so people by the fire and the sentry at the door were probably still in an absolutely conscious state. ”
"Then get ready, let's go up, we all lurk directly from the top of the mountain, Okita is in charge of the sentry at the door, Yao is in charge of the people who are awake at the fire, Okita is in charge of all the tents with me after cleaning, Yao is ready to respond at any time" Zhou You thought about it for a while and said.
"Why don't you Okita take charge of the outside?" Fu Xiyao opened her mouth and asked.
"Okita-kun's long-range offensive methods are at a disadvantage compared to yours, his hidden weapon throwing is not as stable as yours, and your earth escape has better concealment, my fire escape is too ......, whether as a guard or the realm is obvious, you are more suitable than Okita-kun" Zhou You explained, turning his head and exchanging glances with Hinata Okita.
"Okay, but what about the women who were robbed up the mountain?" Fu Xiyao asked with some concern.
"Try to knock out as much as possible, if it affects the plan, there will only be ......"
"Okay," Fu Xiyao lowered her head in response, her mood looking a little down.
Towards Hinata Okita, who was somewhat hidden, raised his left hand and gestured his thumb to his throat, blinking to mean that if it affected the task, he would not leave a living mouth.
It's not that Zhou You intended to do this, but when the first C-level mission crusade against the thieves, because Fu Xiyao sympathized with the protection of the robbed woman, the three of them were besieged by the thieves, but fortunately, in the end, the three of them were only slightly injured, so afterwards Okita and Zhou You decided that this kind of thing that could kill innocents indiscriminately was contracted by the two men, maybe Fu Xiyao noticed the arrangement of the two but acquiesced, just like now.
The three of them silently checked the ninja equipment, tightened their equipment and walked towards the top of the mountain.
Five minutes later, the three of them cautiously came to the top of the mountain, and according to the information given by Zang Feng, there were about 100 armed thieves in this camp, as well as women, wives and children kidnapped by them, and there would be no more than 400 people in total.
The camp was in a circle, surrounded by a wooden fence, and there was only one entrance, where two sentries stood, and a huge fire rose in the middle, and some figures could be faintly seen in the tents of the wooden houses around them, and some figures could be faintly seen under the light of oil lamps and other lights.
Zhou You suddenly felt a little upset in his heart, and after carefully looking at the camp, he pointed to the house that was particularly large compared to ordinary houses and said:
"Yao After you clean up the people next to the fire in a while, pour all the oil on the warehouse, if you find that the warehouse is on fire, don't hesitate to retreat immediately."
"Why do you want to do this," Fu Xiyao said a little puzzled.
I can't tell you that I'm not feeling well and I'm afraid of accidents, so let's arrange it like this! After thinking for a while, he said: "Don't worry about winning, think about defeat first, after all, this group of thieves escaped from the country of wind, I always think it won't be so simple, after a group of thieves wreak havoc in the country of wind, they can still safely flee to the country of fire, you must know that after the second war, the sand ninja basically implemented an elite policy, and I am afraid it will not be so simple to escape their pursuit."
With these words, Zhou You finally understood where his uneasiness came from. This group of thieves is coming from the country of heavy winds, it is definitely not as simple as imagined, and the scale of this camp cannot be just flowed over.
"That's it, that's okay," Fu Xiyao nodded in agreement after listening to Zhou You's explanation.
"Try not to have physical contact with them, after all, the Sand Ninja Village is best known for all kinds of toxins and golems. Everyone must be careful, if we encounter an invincible storehouse, we will immediately set fire to the warehouse, and we will slowly consume them. We are clearly stronger than them, it's just that they are numerous and we don't know if they have other means at their disposal," Zhou You added.
"yes, I see." *2
"Then get ready, let's get started."
