Fighting an enemy with a full-map view is never left to chance.

Any decision that seems normal is likely to be a trap laid by the enemy.

In other words, the detour that Uchiha Shinsuke chose at this time may also fall into the hands of the enemy.

Among all the options, it is nothing more than a question of the probability of success.

But Uchiha Shinsuke still insisted on choosing the latter, for no other reason than confidence in himself and the strength of the squad.

Of the twelve members of the three ninja squads, only two are not ninjas, and there will never be any problems with their legs.

As long as you don't get trapped, the probability of escape is extremely high.

And the conditions required to surround them on all sides, even with the support of the group of mist rebels in the Iron Country, it is not easy.

The cost of manpower is still secondary, and the key is a matter of time.

The route chosen by Konoha also requires a half-day trip to the area closest to the Iron Country, and it is definitely too late to enter the Yuno Country and be discovered by the other party to send someone to support.

Unless, at the beginning, the other party is in ambush.

But if that's the case, it doesn't matter if you're on the spot, you can't escape left and right anyway, and you can redeem a few enemies.

The people present were all experienced ninjas, and they didn't know how many times they were born and died, so they naturally knew what the best choice was, and they decided on the method after a little totalization.

But when Uchiha Shinsuke wanted to send a call for help, Kakashi stopped him.

Uchiha Shinsuke looked over puzzled, and Kakashi said slowly, "We alone are not worth investing so much energy into the Kushinobu and Akatsuki organizations, their target may be Jiraiya-sama, we are just bait." ”

If it weren't for the worst-case scenario, the grass ninja would just be a daily attack, and they would definitely not be able to stop their team.

And if you think in the worst direction, you have to think about the worst. Assuming that the Akatsuki organization had premeditated, it was clear that these ninja squads alone would not be able to satisfy their appetites.

They have the record of besieging and killing the 'Konoha Sannin' and severely damaging Orochimaru, so they can't be unguarded.

Uchiha Shinsuke's face sank when he heard this, and he suddenly realized that what he had just considered was still a little inappropriate.

If you send out a flare and return the way you came, you will still have a chance to join up with Jiraiya-sama even if you encounter a battle.

The two sides worked together to deal with the attack from the enemy.

If you choose to take a detour, you can't launch a flare to call for help, after all, it is impossible to let the rescue team follow them all the way.

Either rely on the strength of the squad to break out of the enemy's blockade, or you will be trapped in it.

Choosing the latter is undoubtedly to let the team take the risk alone, and avoid the worst-case scenario, when Konoha Sanshinobu is in danger.

But Uchiha Shinsuke didn't hesitate and accepted Kakashi's request.

Although he felt very discouraged by saying this, even if the members of this team were doubled, the weight would be much worse than that of a 'Konoha Sannin'.

It has nothing to do with the position of power, purely because of personal value.

'For the sake of the village' is not a fluttering four words, but when an incident occurs, we must gamble our lives to avoid greater losses for the village, and strive for more value.

Konoha and his party immediately turned from the northeast to the southeast and quickened the pace of their march.

……

Somewhere in the jungle of Yuno Country, the patriarch of the Snow Clan, Mizuki Chi, stopped on the treetops with the blood ninja of the clan, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Konoha ninja.

"In ten minutes at most, Konoha's ninjas will arrive."

A strange head with short gray-green hair poked out from the thick tree, and he wondered, "You expected them to do this." ”

"Although it's not anymore, but I was also a ninja in the Great Ninja Village before, so I know what they think."

Shui Wuyuechi touched the scar that almost split his entire handsome face in half, and said with a smile,

"But after all, these young people are just making a small fuss, and it's fun to really target the 'Konoha Sannin'."

"You know that the organization is so strong, you can beat Orochimaru for more than a year without showing up, why have you been making a small fight recently?"

"Now that you can set your sights on Jiraiya, the probability of success is also very high."

"Hehe, if you ask me that, you're asking the wrong person." The white clone smiled weirdly, "I'm just an eye, but I'm not responsible for using my brain." ”

"That's not possible, please use your eyes, and play the function of your mouth again." Shui Wuyue Chi also let out a burst of laughter, "Inform the horns and Taketori, let them hurry up." ”

From the very beginning, the Konoha team had no way out.

Whether it is advancing or retreating, or the soldiers make surprise moves or choose to take a detour, they will be intercepted by the men and horses arranged, and then surrounded and suppressed with the support of the other two ways, the difference is only in the different positions.

And they thought about the village, they chose a desperate path and cut off their last life, which is really ironic.

"I did this kind of thing in the first place."

Bai Jue muttered, retracted his head back into the body of the big tree, and left only one sentence, "Be careful, they're already here." ”

"Really?"

Shui Wuyuechi, the patriarch of the Snow Clan, restrained the smile on his face, and a pair of dark eyes faintly shone with a cold light,

"Cubs, wrap up, catch the big and let go of the small, and entangle them."

"Yes!"

The sound of breaking wind in the jungle sounded.

……

Konoha and his party ran quickly through the jungle, and the atmosphere of the team became more and more tense.

Since Uchiha Shinsuke's warning, Hyugata Firegate, who is the eye of the team, has increased the frequency of reconnaissance and reported the monitoring content in real time.

And in the field of vision of the Hyuga Fire Gate, the cold gaze hidden in the ground one after another made him stab in his back.

When the other party learned that he had exposed Zhihu, he no longer had any cover-up at all, and clearly told the Konoha team through his white eyes - you are being targeted.

In this gradually depressing atmosphere, Hinata Huomen suddenly shouted, "There are more than a dozen ninjas in front of you, and there are at least three of them. ”

The expected ambush appeared, and the members of the Konoha Ninja Squad breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest fear comes from the unknown, which will eat away at people's reason little by little, but when exposed to the field of vision, it is not so terrible.

When Uchiha Shinsuke heard the news, he immediately ordered, "Rest in place and wait for the enemy to attack." ”

He wasn't unaware that there might be other enemies around him, so breaking through the enemy's encirclement was the best strategy.

But what I'm afraid of is that I will be strong and decay again, and now I will put away my fists and hit them again to have more strength.

Da Da Da ......

A series of footsteps sounded, and the Konoha ninjas each stopped on a tree trunk, set up a defensive formation, and looked ahead, waiting for the battle.

The enemy came quickly, and within a few minutes of a distance of three or four kilometers.

The two were only a few dozen meters apart, and when they saw that they were about to enter each other's attack distance, the ninjas of the Snow Clan took the lead.

"Water Escape: The Art of the Great Waterfall!"

More than a dozen middle ninjas joined forces to perform, and in the blink of an eye, a huge wave was set off, forcing the Konoha ninjas to stumble left and right, and the formation was completely dispersed.

That being said, these ninjas shot too early and had too poor a good grasp of the distance, giving the Konoha ninja too much time to react, and did not cause the ninja injuries other than breaking a dozen small trees.

But the ninjas of the Snow Clan weren't meant to damage their enemies.

The three blood successors led by the patriarch of the Snow Clan, Shui Wuyuechi, jumped lightly and jumped above the water.

With both hands together, he said in unison, "Ice Escape, Magic Mirror Ice Crystal!" ”

"Stop them!"

As the ice spreads, there is a loud roar from the Uchiha Shinsuke, who has seen the Snow Clan perform on the battlefield of Konoha and Kigakure, and knows how difficult this move can be.

"Fire Escape: Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"

……

The ninjas in the Konoha team who are good at fire escape immediately cast their own ones.

It's just that the scattered team formations can't hit the power of ninjutsu, and their tactical intentions are not uniform, some attack straight at the three ice ninjas, and some want to open a path by melting the ice that spreads with flames.

These ideas are all correct, but they have failed one after another.

It's not just because of the dispersion of power, after all, Fire Escape is only one of the five basic escape techniques, which is weaker than Blood Inheritance Ninjutsu.

Judging by the morphological changes alone, the flames melted the ice, and the water had to evaporate again to neutralize his power.

At this interval, a new layer of ice was recreated.

The evaporated water vapor, these former ninjas of the Water Country did not waste it, "Water Escape, Fog Hidden Technique!" ”

A white mist spreads out and fills the space like an upside-down ice bowl.

After Shui Wuyuechi trapped most of the Konoha ninjas, he looked at the ninjutsu he had performed, and a little sigh appeared in his eyes.

Ice Escape Ninja, with the Fog Hidden Assassination Technique, I don't know how many ninjas from the enemy country were buried, but now that they are taken out, they can only play the function of being imprisoned.

The Taketori clan and Kakudo are violent ninjas, and they can't use the maximum power of the cage at all.

"What a pity."

Mizuki stared at Uchiha Shinsuke and slowly sank into the ice.

Even with the fog obscuring it, the Uchiha's writing wheel eye is not easy to mess with.

……

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

From the treetops covered in ice slag, Shinsuke Uchiha continued to spew flames into the ground.

His purpose was not to attack, but to rally the crowd as a mark.

It didn't take long for eight members to converge.

Uchiha Shinsuke looked around and frowned, "Kakashi, where did he go?" ”

Hinata Huomen replied, "When the opponent was in the Ice Escape Ninjutsu, he rushed over with his speed. ”

Also absent were two of them, a middle ninja and an upper ninja, both on the edge before the ninjutsu was launched, and good luck dodged it.

"I see."

Uchiha Shinsuke nodded slightly, "It's just right, he's not very useful here, but he can play a bigger role outside." ”

In the five ninjutsu, although the fire escape effect is not good, it is the most suitable for dealing with the ice escape, and Kakashi is not good at fire escape.

With the enemy only choosing a conservative entanglement strategy, the thunder escape for attack and the earth escape for defense will be useless.

"The most important thing now is to break this ice cover."

When Uchiha Shinsuke said this, he subconsciously pressed on his temple.

If he also has Susa Nenghu like Shisui, this level of ninjutsu is just a matter of one move, and it's just a joke.

But now, it takes several times as much energy to escape from it, which is really ......

Uchiha Shinsuke looked around and divided into two groups based on whether he was good at fire escape or not, "You guys take care of the surroundings to prevent the Ice Escape ninjas from taking the opportunity to sneak attack." ”

……

Standing on the branch of a large tree that had not been swept down by the waves, Kakashi looked at the ice cover not far away, his brow furrowed deeply.

The forehead guard on his head has long been straightened, but even if the jade in his eyes is flowing, he can't see any fame.

The chakras circulating in the ice cover interfered with the Sharingan's ability to perceive, and it was impossible to find the traces of the three Ice Ninjas.

Whoosh ......

In bursts of screaming wind, Chibon flew towards Kakashi and the other three ninjas one after another, forcing them to stay away from the ice cover.

After retreating for a few dozen meters, one of the Konoha Shinobi suddenly yelled at Kakashi, "Captain, they're trying to force us back. ”

“……”

Of course, Kakashi could see that he even knew that if he turned around and left now, fleeing in the direction he had set, these traitorous ninjas from the fog would not even continue to pursue.

Eight upper ninjas and one elite middle ninja, among which there are also two powerful pupil ninjas, and it is already a big profit for the grass ninja to be able to keep these people.

After all, they did not use a lot of manpower and material resources as they had previously suspected.

Thinking of this, Kakashi subconsciously touched the scroll hidden in his chest, which contained the funds for this trip to the Land of Thunder to buy rare ores.

Now that it has been learned that this operation is an ambush, the next thing to do is to avoid losses for the village as much as possible.

He should have turned around and walked away now.

There are more than a dozen middle ninjas on the other side, and it is difficult for them to pose too much threat to the ice shield by relying on three people in a short time, and they can't turn with their teammates inside.

Not to mention, the enemy still has reinforcements, and after they chose this path, they have already abandoned the hope of rescuing the village, and now they can earn a few if they can escape.

But......

But......

Kakashi raised his hand and touched his left eye, which was full of pupil power, as if there was still the blood of his old friend.

This time he was faced with a choice.

But unlike before, it was not because they were blinded by their feelings, they deliberately chose to save or not to save, and the current situation developed into this situation is the common choice of the twelve of them.

As a whole, they can be broken and damaged, but they must not abandon one side to the other because of the division of each other.

This kind of thing must not be allowed.

Therefore, Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then yelled at the other two companions, "You do your best to stop them, and I'll find a way to destroy this ice shell." ”

As soon as the words fell, he didn't think about whether the two of them responded, his waist lowered slightly, and he held the short knife at his side with one hand.

The two Konoha ninjas were stunned for a moment when they heard this order, and without any hesitation, they rushed towards the Misty Hidden Rebel Ninja.

Two against sixteen is obviously desperate, but Kakashi, as the captain, is desperate, how can they be cowardly.

The two eyes, one black and one red, reflected the scene in front of him, but Kakashi's mind came to mind the swordsmanship he had seen on the great lake after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
