Zidian's caution was correct, and the moment she stepped away, a long knife slashed through the place where she had just stood from an eerie angle. Zidian was shocked in his heart, and retreated at a faster speed, while looking in the direction of the root ninja, only to find that the person who had made the knife just now turned out to be the ninja who had been poisoned by the puppeteer and was classified by himself as having no combat effectiveness.

This turned out to be a shinobi, who could cut this amazing knife in the case of poisoning, if it was during the opponent's total victory, he might not be an opponent. It turned out that the discussion of how to deal with himself just now was all an illusion, and they were all covering for this Shangnin. Fortunately, I was not careless.

However, the price of the other party's blow just now is probably not small, and now the face of this root shinobi is obviously a little greener than before.

At this time, the white cat and Xiaoshi also arrived, but the two did not attack under the signal of Zidian. Instead, it surrounds the root ninja in three directions.

The two sides held each other for a while before Yichen arrived. Yichen, who bypassed the earth flow wall, saw the situation in the field, did not hesitate, and immediately performed ninjutsu under the command of Zidian, and the target was the poisoned upper ninja.

Yichen's water pressure line technique is extremely powerful, no less than B-level ninjutsu, and the root ninja who has been hit once does not dare to slack off, only to see that the uninjured middle ninja immediately threw out kunai and wanted to interfere with Yichen, but was easily shot down by the purple electricity next to Yichen with kunai.

Yichen successively performed three water pressure line techniques, all of which were dodged by the other party's upper ninja, and at the same time, the hidden weapons used by the small stone and the white cat to interfere with on the side were also flashed by him one by one.

It's just that this poisoned root ninja, after a few dodges, can no longer control the toxins in his body, a mouthful of black blood spurts out, his body staggered, and he was directly hit by Yichen's fourth water pressure line technique, and was directly shot through his thigh. Then, after being unable to move, he was hit by seven or eight hidden weapons and died on the spot.

Yichen hurriedly made up a water pressure line technique on the other party's head.

Then he used the perceptual ninjutsu to confirm that the other party was dead, and Zidian shot again to kill the last root member.

The four of them worked together to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then under the leadership of Zi Dian, they returned to the direction of the land country as fast as possible.

From the beginning to the end of the assault of the 18th squad, it didn't take much time, and the most time-consuming thing in the whole process was actually the time when Yichen rushed from 1 kilometer away to the center of the battlefield. All other battles are won and lost in the blink of an eye.

And before a few people launched a surprise attack, the three of them were highly efficient, and they had almost cleaned the battlefield, and Yichen and the others only needed to take the scrolls on the root ninja's body, and then pack up the two root members who were killed by Zi Dian. As for the root members who were killed by the detonation charm, there was not even a complete corpse.

And the Shangnin, who was highly poisoned by the puppet master, several people didn't dare to touch it.

So the battlefield was cleaned quickly, and after a while, the 18th squad disappeared into this area.

Then, silence returned to the place, and it was not until a full few hours had passed that the main force of the root that was chasing the sand shinobi returned to the place, and the already frowning brow of the root commander became even tighter when he saw the situation at the scene.

This pursuit did not go well, and the sand shinobi naturally suffered heavy losses, and in the end only four upper shinobi escaped. But after all, these people who broke through were the elites of the Sand Ninja Shadow Division, and in the end, they still pulled the two root ninjas as backs.

The loss was 2 to 5, and the result was not bad, and after I went back, I could also give an explanation to Tuan Zang, who would have thought, and the four roots who were left to clean the battlefield died inexplicably. This mistake is huge, and most importantly, it shows that there is a force around that the commander himself did not find out.

And judging from the abnormal behavior of the sand ninja, what they have to deal with is likely to be this hidden enemy. Combined with the two pieces of information that had appeared inexplicably before, this root commander knew that he had been used as a gunman, even if he was stupid.

This kind of mistake is something that Tuanzang can't tolerate, and the root commander already knows the outcome of his return. But even if he knew that he was dead, he had no choice, so he could only go back first and report the situation, and then receive his death. Because he already felt that these subordinates of his were already faintly guarding themselves.

After examining the situation at the scene, the people of the root quickly concluded that at least three hours had passed since the battle. Without the possibility of confirming the identity, number, and direction of departure of the enemy, it would be too time-consuming to pursue them. The root commander finally had to order to return to the village.

……

Not to mention the sand ninja who suffered heavy losses, and not to mention the root commander who will not be killed by the group after returning to the village. Yichen and his party, after the battle ended, rushed to the direction of the land country non-stop, and the four of them rushed at the fastest speed without sleep for two days and two nights, and finally arrived at the border of the land of the earth safely, so that they had time to stop and take a breath.

Zidian communicated with the dark department patrolling the border in the way of communication with the dark department. Then he rested at the border for two days before returning to the village.

The 18th team that returned to the village reported the process of the task and Yichen's judgment to the village, and it didn't take long for him to be received by the village higher-ups.

At the Tsuchikage Building, all members of the 18th Squad, along with the second captain, Captain Owl, were questioned by Onoki and several advisors.

This time, the 18th team, although they did not retrieve the intelligence of the spies, but the information they collected had achieved all their goals, so the upper echelons were very satisfied with their mission, plus the large number of corpses they brought back, they also provided a lot of information to the village, and after the village high-level discussed, they gave the 18th team an S-class mission record.

This is considered a big deal, unlike Yichen who has made a lot of contributions to the village in the sealing technique, and he is not much excited about the S-class mission record. White Cat and Little Stone are completely different, this is the first time that the two of them have completed an S-class mission.

After listening to Yichen's personal account of the experience of the Land of Rain and the basis of Yichen's speculation, the high-level officials discussed it and agreed with Yichen's speculation.

As for whether he will change his policy towards the Land of Rain based on this information in the future, it is not for Yichen to know.

Onoki then explained to the 18th team the purpose of the sand shinobi's ambush, which was the information obtained from the corpse. It turned out that the dark team that the 18th team had identified and killed when patrolling the border was not sent by Konoha, but by Sand Ninja. The purpose of the sand ninja is to pretend to be a Konoha ninja to buy a middle ninja from the rock ninja village, and now this middle ninja has been caught.

And this time, Sand Shinobi ambushed in the Land of Rain because it had been confirmed that the dark team failed last time, so he wanted to try it on the dark part that connected with the spy this time to see if he could find the reason for the failure of the mission.

Yichen understood that this was the upper echelons explaining to them that the accident on this mission was not due to the village, but something happened to the sand ninja.

Yichen thought to himself, this time I will record an S-class mission for everyone, and fear also has a comforting element in it. But none of this matters, the reward for S-class tasks is at least 10,000 points of contribution. The mission contribution value of the dark part is higher than usual.,I don't know how much I can count this time.,How much can I get for it.。

After leaving the Tsuchikage Building, Yichen was told by Zidian that he had another ten days of vacation. When he returned home, Yichen took out all the silver taels he had accumulated, handed over the portion promised to the caravan at that time to the caravan's branch in Iwaninja Village, and then used the remaining silver taels to issue a B-level mission. This time, Yichen's goal is to learn the art of mind disorder.

As the first Yin Escape ninjutsu that Yichen learned, Yichen is still relatively cautious, although his mental power is much stronger than that of ordinary middle ninjas, and even Yichen estimates that most of the upper ninjas are not as good as himself. But Yichen still didn't dare to be careless, and released another B-level mission.

In the next ten days, under the guidance of a Shangnin, Yichen easily learned the technique of mind disorder, and with his strong spiritual power, Yichen performed the Mind Chaos Body Technique even stronger than that of this Shangnin.

This Shangnin may be happy to see the hunt, and it is rare to meet this junior with strong talent in the yin side, Fei Dan taught Yichen to learn the art of mind disorder, and also cooperated with Yichen to conduct experiments to simplify the art of mind and body. In the end, with the joint efforts of the two of them, the technique of mind confusion was directly simplified to a seal, which was also unexpected by this Shangnin.

It can be said that I just wanted to guide Yichen, but the result is that I have also benefited a lot. As a ninja who specializes in shadowy retreat, the Mind Chaos Body Technique is an important means of attack, which can simplify the seal of the Mind Chaos Body Technique, and it is also a great improvement to his combat effectiveness.

Before the end of the ten-day period, the Shangnin suggested that Yichen go to the Ninjutsu Contribution Office and hand over the simplified Mind and Body Technique to the village to exchange for some good things. Because the techniques of mind and body are not like the three-body technique and the earth escape ninjutsu, these techniques have long been thoroughly studied by the seniors in the village, and no matter how much Yichen is simplified, the village has included them. As far as he knew, no one in the village had been able to simplify the technique of mind and body to 1 seal.

Yichen came to the contribution office with great expectations, and wrote down the ideas and methods of simplifying the mind and body art and handed it in, but although there was a reward for the result, the reward was not high, because simplifying ninjutsu was a thing, in fact, it mainly depends on the individual, although Yichen provided a direction for future generations, but it does not mean that future generations can directly practice according to the art of mental chaos in a printing plate. These are two different things.

Therefore, Yichen has merit, but this merit is not big, and the contribution to Yichen is calculated as 300 contributions, which can only be said to be victorious or not.

Now that he came to the contribution office, Yichen simply received the reward of the S-level task, and got 5000 contribution points, this amount is a bit not up or down, Yichen wants to exchange for B-level ninjutsu, it is far from enough, but C-level ninjutsu, there is no shortage of Yichen now, and there are still many ninjutsu at hand that need to be practiced.

On the contrary, it was the reward of the silver taels, which relieved the urgent need of Yichen, who was shy in his pocket.
