Chapter Twenty-Four: Battlefield Intelligence
Soon after Sunset True Red led the tenth squad to retreat in a hurry, with a rapid sound of breaking the air, eight ghost-like black shadows came from the mountains and forests on all sides. Judging from their outfits, it is clear that they are the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village. Among them, there are two upper ninjas, four middle ninjas, and two lower ninjas, which are obviously the establishment of two squads.
It seems that the fierce fighting and the screams of the sand ninja before they die attracted the sand ninja who were carrying out reconnaissance missions around them. And there are two strong ninja squads.
Although Konoha sent five reconnaissance and counterattack teams, they were able to devote themselves to the narrow mountains and forests on the border of Kawano Country, but the distance between them seemed a little far. The reason for this may be that the Konoha ninjas are all skilled and courageous, so they have the confidence to fight against each other. What's more, Konoha's side is on the defensive, and the enemy is in the dark, and it is impossible to concentrate the limited forces to carry out such a large-scale counter-reconnaissance operation.
However, the existence of the ninjas in the sand is relatively concentrated. On the one hand, this is a fear of the Konoha ninja, and on the other hand, it is also to concentrate superior forces and surround and kill valuable targets encountered in reconnaissance.
With her years of experience in the battlefield and missions, Sunset True Red was keenly aware of the danger that was approaching rapidly. Coupled with the confirmation of the white eyes of the Hyuga green kite, he decisively left the battlefield as soon as possible. One hit kills, and then an instant away, the battle of ninjas, but there is never a mud and water.
After carefully surveying the battlefield, the two sand hidden shinobi glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide the surprise in their hearts. How long has it been since the full formation of the squad led by Yamayunajiu was wiped out? Although there are two shinobi in the team, it is the famous Kamishinobi Mountain Yunajiu in Shayin Village who can lead the team, and the comprehensive combat power of the team is definitely not weak. Could it be that Konoha was annoyed and embarrassed by his own endless attacks and intrusions, so he sent a few strong ninja people in the village?
Tut-tut! The dignified "Badger of the Sand Desert" was shattered in the heart by a blow, and it was still a look of surprise, it seemed that he was quite surprised by his death. A Shinobu who was bandaged with half of his head stepped forward and carefully examined the body of the dead Yamagura Ku, and couldn't help but sneer. Another bearded shinobi shook his head at this, and looked up at his subordinates who were searching for clues on the battlefield. However, at a glance, in his brownish-yellow eyes the size of bull's eyes, the pupils instantly shrank into the most dangerous needle shape.
"Yaya, stop!" Looking at the masked shinobi with the strip-like puppet on his back, he was reaching for the corpse of the sand ninja boy lying on the ground, and the bearded man roared in impatience.
However, it was already too late. The puppeteer's hand had already touched the corpse's shoulder and lifted it slightly.
Rumble! In everyone's sight, an orange flame suddenly flashed, and then there was a deafening explosion. The corpse of the sand ninja boy was blown to pieces, and the puppeteer got an urgent warning from the captain, and in a few moments, he blocked the puppet behind him.
With a tooth-aching creak, the chest of the puppet that was used as a shield suddenly sunk violently. Before the middle ninja puppeteer had time to rejoice, a huge shock wave came through his body, blasting it out violently.
Ahem, ahem! As the smoke cleared, the puppeteer named Yaya opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face suddenly turned pale. However, he was only hit by the aftermath of the explosion, and he was not seriously injured. It's just a pity that his beloved puppet was blown out of a big hole in his chest.
"That's a lot of money! How many detonators were placed in order to set up such a suicide bomb trap? Konoha ninja, isn't it bad for money? ”
The crowd gathered around Yaya, looking at a large crater on the ground after the violent explosion, and they were speechless for a while cold sweat flowed.
These detonation charms are naturally the handiwork of Inuzuka Tree. As for why Inuzuka has so many detonators? This is the first time the little guy has been on the battlefield, and there are many people who are worried about his life. Inuzuka is a mother who doesn't need to say much, and in the spirit of returning after his daughter was gone, he stuffed him with a large handful of detonation charms before leaving. This scene was seen by Inuzuka Paw, who came to see him off, so he didn't hesitate to stuff a detonation charm scroll directly. There is also the little rich woman Uzumaki Kushina, before Inuzuka Shu went to resign, he directly gave him a backpack, which was full of detonation charms except for some valuable shuriken and kunai.
"If the strength is lacking, then the firepower will be covered!" Inuzuka deeply felt the deep love of his mother, godmother and mother, so he accepted all the orders, and the little Konoha Shinobi turned into a rare rich child of great value in Konoha Village and even the entire ninja world.
Therefore, when Sunset True Red ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, in order to hide the traces of the strange power fist, Inuzuka Shu made a smart move, and carefully but generously set up a super explosion trap. Under the corpse of the sand ninja boy, there were no less than ten trigger-type detonation charms. Now it seems that the effect is unexpectedly good, not only destroying the corpse, but also severely injuring a puppeteer Shinobi.
In fact, this is also because this puppet division is too inexperienced in actual combat, and he actually flips the corpse of an ally on the battlefield at will. Experienced old birds know that the battle between ninjas is quite mysterious and dangerous, even if it is a corpse, it should not be taken lightly.
The bearded man glanced at the tooth with a sad expression, and sighed slightly in his heart. This tooth is a puppeteer who is extremely rare for the sand ninja, and he is the nephew of the elder of Chiyo, and as a young middle ninja, his strength is quite superb. But after all, there is too little actual combat experience, and it is too naïve like a flower in a greenhouse.
Yaya read the fear and sigh in his captain's eyes, and in his heart, half of his face that was exposed suddenly turned red.
"In this way, there is even less information to be obtained!" The bandage-covered Shinobu glanced at Yaya coldly, and said in a light tone.
The bearded ninja's face twitched, nodded and said, "However, even so, a lot of information can be deduced. ”
That's true. A team of four people, one lower ninja was blown to ashes, one lower shinobi was cut throat, one middle ninja was burned to charcoal, and one upper ninja was shattered in the heart. Combined with the battle traces on the scene, it is obvious that the other party is just a ninja squad. It's just that the opponent's strength obviously has the absolute upper hand, and under the split attack, a shocking annihilation battle was completed in a short period of time. In the end, he retreated unscathed, giving the always arrogant Sand Shinobi a vicious slap.
Extrapolating the battle situation from the final result, the other party obviously knew the strength and whereabouts of Yamana Jiu and the others, so he launched an accurate and sharp attack strongly! And there are traces of destruction of Fire Escape and Earth Escape Ninjutsu at the scene, Earth Escape is Yama Yunajiu's signature ninjutsu, so Fire Escape is naturally done by the ninjas on the Konoha side. In addition, paw prints of canine animals were found at the scene. Then, the intelligence of Konoha's ninja team doesn't seem to be difficult to guess.
Being able to spy on battlefield information from a distance, Konoha is well-known in this regard. Because Konoha Village has the almost legendary white-eyed Hyuga clan, then it is likely that there are Hyuga clansmen in this team. In addition, there are canine footprints on the scene, which proves that one of the opposing parties can summon ninja dogs, or directly cooperate with ninja dogs to fight, it is very likely that it is the Inuzuka clan of Konoha Village.
And the fire escape ninjutsu and the swift body technique, this is a bit cloudy. The ninjas of Konoha believe in the will of fire, and there are too many ninjas who are good at fire escape. But it is difficult to draw any conclusions from the fire escape. But the fire escape spell on the opposite side seems to have cast the Great Fireball Technique in order to deal with this middle ninja, and his strength should not exceed the limit of the middle ninja. As a middle and lower ninja, a ninjutsu that can unleash such a power can be seen, and it can be seen that he is also a ninja with good talent.
"Could it be, Uchiha!" After this surname was blurted out, the two Sagakure shinobi were shocked and looked at each other with incredible eyes.
In addition to the Sharingan Eye Pupil Technique that shocked the ninja world, the most common combat method of the Uchiha clan was the Fire Escape Ninjutsu.
Boldly assume that it is a ninja of the Uchiha clan...... The ninjas of the Uchiha, Hinata and Inuzuka clans, plus the shinobi who can lead this team, must also be a guy with extraordinary strength and identity. Then, this ninja squad in Konoha is a terrible existence. It is also an extremely important hunting target!
"Take the corpse with you and retreat!" With a wave of their hands, the two ninja squads cleaned up the battlefield as fast as they could, and then disappeared into a cloud of black mangs in the dense forest.
This place, where the great war once broke out, finally returned to a peaceful place, and even a dead silence.
After a long while, a cloud of white light flashed, and a fist-sized version of the snow pill emerged from a hole in a tree. It looked around alertly, sniffed hard in the air with its dark nose, and then searched for a while, and finally it picked up a broken gray cloth from a bush, and then chased after Inuzuka and the others without looking back.
This piece of cloth was the bandage used to wrap the puppet from the puppeteer's hand, and in that unexpected explosion, the bandage on the puppet's body was blown up. Afterwards, although he tried his best to clean up the scene, it was inevitable that two pieces of cloth would be covered in mud and soot.
But all of this can't escape Yukimaru's magical nose. Yukimaru, who was secretly hidden here by Inuzuka Tree, not only witnessed the appearance of the eight sand ninjas, but also heard their voices with his own ears, coupled with the smell left in the air, and the most important puppet bandage cloth, these two ninja teams have been invisibly marked by Inuzuka Tree. As long as they reappeared, with Inuzuka and Yukimaru's senses of smell and hearing, which had reached the level of anti-heaven, these eight people would have nowhere to hide, let alone escape.
Inuzuka Tree, who has been a little ghost since he was a child, as a genius of the Inuzuka clan who is especially good at tracking and reconnaissance, how can he be willing to do something like looking for a needle in a haystack?
