A famous green-skinned reckless man and Axe Gang leader Grom Hellroar once said, "Dog, what is the price?" ”

This famous quote tells us that everything has a price.

Hinata Inaba knows this.

And his price came quickly.

It was only the next day that the price was revealed—

Captain Ba gathered everyone in the team early this morning and announced that he had received a new mission from Orochimaru.

"The mission level this time is set at S level, which is extremely difficult and very dangerous! Everyone is ready, and in an hour we will be gone! ”

"Understood!"

Everyone promised.

Hinata Inaba sighed in her heart.

He knew that Orochimaru's blessing was indeed not gratuitous.

Especially at the moment, there is a shortage of soldiers in the southern theater of Konoha and the situation is anxious, and the direct power that Orochimaru can use has always been very limited.

Orochimaru issued an S-level mission this time, probably because the highest mission level of a ninja is only S-rank......

An hour later, everyone repaired their equipment and set off at the gate of the town.

After leaving the town, Hinata Inaba opened her eyes very consciously and came to the front of the team to start guarding.

It was only at this point that the cautious captain began to explain the content of the mission to the crowd.

This is also to avoid the possible enemy village eyeliner in the town as much as possible.

"Our mission this time is to go deep behind enemy lines, approach the coastline, cut off the sea supply line of Wuyin Village, and burn their ships and docks as much as possible."

This mission is really bald-this is Hinata Inaba's first reaction after listening to the mission.

This is probably the price of defecting to Orochimaru, this task, it is beautified to say that nine deaths and one life are beautified.

You must know that Konoha is now at an absolute disadvantage in the Southern Theater.

Because Konoha is now at war with the four villages of Sand Hide, Iwakuin, Cloud Hide, and Fog Hide at the same time.

Except for the sand hidden vegetables, which are not moving much now, the pressure from the other three war zones is very great.

In addition to sending a small force to fight the autumn wind in the country of Sichuan and the country of wind, almost all of the elite main forces were pressed on the southern coast of the country of fire!

Orochimaru is equivalent to using less than one-third of Konoha to fight against an entire Fog Hidden Village!

It is already a miracle to be able to hold it, and the defense line is naturally retreating again and again, and it has long been far from the coastline.

Now Hinata Inaba, where they are, are at least two hundred kilometers away from the original landing site of Kigakure!

And that's not the most desperate, it's even worse: Konoha doesn't have any naval forces anymore.

There used to be a sea ally: the country of the vortex, but unfortunately it was sold by Konoha himself.

That is to say, now that this mission is carried out, Hinata Inaba and they can only act on land, and there is no hope for support on the sea, and once they fall into encirclement, they will be trapped, and there is no life or death.

"This is a terrible task......

Even Orochimaru's personal disciple Hongdou sighed in shame at this time.

Hinata Inaba glanced sideways at the red bean, and felt a rare little comfort in her heart.

Optimistically, Orochimaru doesn't seem to be ruthless enough to use himself as a consumable.

He even sent out his only disciple together, at least it shows that this task should not be purely sent to death in Orochimaru's heart.

Even if there is a gap, it is not big......

At this time, the moonlight came to the wind and rarely spoke: "Don't complain, it's the duty of a ninja to complete the task." ”

Although these words were cold, they helped Hinata Inaba adjust their mentality.

yes, what's there to complain about? He had no choice.

For him now, going back to the village to face the clan and the dark department is probably not safer than facing the fog all the way forward.

In his current situation, there is no other way but to live to die!

The ninja's feet were fast, and in just one day, they had already crossed most of the distance in a roundabout way.

Along the way, Captain Ba stopped several times to check the quest reels and correct their direction at any time.

This made Hinata Inaba guess.

"Captain, is our path arranged?"

Captain Ba didn't hide it, nodded and replied, "Yes, Orochimaru-sama helped us plan the route in the mission scroll, and he should have arranged it a long time ago." ”

This answer made Hinata Inaba breathe a sigh of relief, and she couldn't help but feel a little more confident in the mission.

This shows that Orochimaru is not a completely free-range task.

The route is planned on the scroll, indicating that Orochimaru must have made arrangements along the way in advance.

The proof is that they didn't encounter a single battle along the way today, and they didn't even hit a foggy team when they went so far into the war zone.

Should I say that it is worthy of that Lord Leng Jun?

Now in Konoha, in terms of strategizing and dispatching troops, Orochimaru is definitely a well-deserved number one general!

It's just that after all, this is the ninja world where there is extraordinary power, and the influence of the strong on the battle situation is completely enough to subvert all wisdom and layout.

This may also be the reason why the reputation of the Feng Shui Gate in the village is now more and more overshadowing Orochimaru.

Watergate rarely planned the layout, but he was able to accomplish strategic goals that an entire army could not necessarily achieve by himself.

In the future, Orochimaru left Konoha so resolutely to form his own forces outside, is it also because he has a little resentment and competition?

The thought drifted away, and Hinata Inaba pulled it back in time.

Now is not the time to think about what you have and what you don't have.

It was almost nightfall, and they had traveled for a day, deciding to rest in the wilderness first, and then approach the Fog Hidden Pier near the shore to-morrow.

The superhuman qualities of the ninja make them not afraid to spend the night anywhere in the wilderness, and they can simply find a relatively flat glade to sleep in the open.

"Inaba, you're a scout ninja, you work hard during the vigil, you keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll take your place in the second half of the night."

Captain Ba patted Hinata Inaba on the shoulder.

"Okay, Captain."

Hinata Inaba has no problem with this.

As a recon ninja, he used to keep vigils regularly.

Soon they lit a fire, and instead of pitching a tent, a few people leaned against the trunks of a nearby tree and began to rest.

Hinata, on the other hand, jumped to the top of the canopy of the tallest nearby tree, opened her eyes and began to be on alert.

Normally, according to Orochimaru's layout, in order to cover Hinata Inaba and his party approaching the coastline, all the nearby Konoha squads have received combat orders recently, and they will try to make space for them as much as possible!

If nothing else, they won't encounter the Mist Ninja Squad in the first half of the journey.

But the battlefield is always a dangerous place full of uncertainties.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and no layout can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

So not long after nightfall, Hinata Inaba in the canopy of the tree issued a warning-

"There is a situation! About ten kilometers away, two ninja squads are fighting, and they're coming this way! ”

A few people resting under the tree quickly came to their senses.

Xiao Hongdou was surprised for the first time: "Your white eyes can see so far?!" ”
