Chapter 162 Task Arrangement and First Leading Task
"I didn't expect you to think of this level. Considering your age, being able to think of this question is enough to show your excellence."
"Indeed, such a large amount of supplies is indeed a little less in terms of our team's defensive strength."
"However, the mission we are carrying out now is top secret. The only ones who know the route are me and Hokage-sama."
"As for the news released on the surface, the ones escorting the ninjas to the front line are the reserve troops sent by our Muye Village to the front line. There are thousands of people."
Shirataki said with a smile, and the more delicate Minato also sensed that just before Shirataki spoke, an enchantment had opened up around them without a sound.
The ability to discover this enchantment is mainly because Minato is more sensitive to Chakra's response in space.
"So that's how it is. Mingxiu's plank road is a trick to secretly cross into warehouses." After hearing the words, several children all looked suddenly enlightened.
Lu Jiu, who had a more flexible mind, asked, "Then when are we going to leave?" Knowing the specific tasks, what he is most concerned about now is the departure time.
"Tomorrow morning, Konoha's large troops will set off in batches, and tomorrow afternoon we will disguise ourselves as businessmen and head to the Land of Rain."
Shirataki said to the six children, Minato let out a soft cry of joy when he learned that he was leaving tomorrow, and even Zhiwei showed a little expectation on his face.
"Businessman. I don't think the route is official. Is it abnormal to play the role of a businessman? At this time, how can there be a businessman who doesn't follow the official route?" Lu Jiu glanced at Bai Taki's back in surprise, I have doubts in my heart again.
The scrolls Baitaki gave them showed that the routes on it were all remote trails, but normally no businessman would take the trails.In today's chaotic environment, the law and order environment in the Land of Fire has also become quite poor.
There are not a small number of bandits occupying the mountains as kings, and it is impossible for a serious businessman to abandon the safest official road and take that kind of remote path.This is simply against common sense, and there may be many accidents that may be encountered on the road.
In the early morning of the next day, the assembly point was set at the gate of Konoha Village. When Shirataki arrived at the gate, the large force of Konoha Ninja Village had just set off.
At the empty gate, there were only a dozen or so people standing, and several of them were the guards of Muye Village.
"Teacher Shirataki is here." Shirataki appeared at the end of the road in the village wearing a gray linen suit and carrying a small bag on his back. Minato, who had been waiting here before dawn, saw Shirataki's figure, and said softly.
Beside him, the other children in casual clothes looked in Shirataki's direction.It was true that the original meeting time was in the morning, but Bai Taki did not expect this group of students to arrive so early.
Although everyone made some disguises, Shirataki still recognized them at a glance.After all, none of them used the transformation technique to change their appearance, they just changed their clothes and dressed up a bit.
As for why not use the transformation technique?Because Transformation is a basic C-level ninjutsu after all, if it is used suddenly in battle, it can also fool nervous opponents.
But in normal times, ninjas with a little experience can easily tell whether the opponent has used the transformation technique.And these newly graduated children's transformation skills can't last long.
"Okay, it's good when we get here, let's go." Baitaki didn't waste his time, this mission was equivalent to taking six little ones on an outing for him. After Baitaki handed in the warrant to leave the village, a group of seven people set foot Journey to the Land of Rain.
Sanfang City, located in the southeast corner of the Land of Rain, used to be one of the trade and economic centers of the Land of Rain. Due to the prosperity of the economy, Sanfang City gathered three people from the Land of Fire, the Land of Sand, and the Land of Earth in previous years. National business trip.The prosperous economy has made Sanfang City an important town in the Land of Rain.
The name of Sanfang City is also derived from this, but now, it has become the temporary headquarters of the Fire Nation, providing a habitat for the ninjas of Konoha Village.
"Haven't the support dispatched by Ri Zhan arrived yet? If we continue like this, we will soon be unable to hold on!" There was a light rain outside, and in a dilapidated building in the Sanfang City of the Kingdom of Rain, Mitomon Yan Standing next to a table, looking at the map on the table, said in a deep voice.
In this small room, almost all the high-level commanders of the Northwest Front gathered, except for the comrades-in-arms of the third Hokage at the same time and his three proud disciples, there were also other Jonin of Konoha.Obviously, after Sakumo, Shirataki, and Sarutobi Hiruzane left the battlefield successively, Konoha's situation is not very optimistic now.
"It's already on the way. According to the itinerary, it should already be entering the Kingdom of Rain."
"Master Hokage sent a lot of support troops this time, but they are mainly genocide and chunin, and many of them have never experienced war, and some of them have not even experienced a decent battle."
"The combat effectiveness of the reinforcements is worrying." Nara Luliang looked out the window at this time, and the weather outside seemed to reflect his mood at this time.
"There is no need to worry about combat power for the time being. It doesn't matter if you haven't experienced war. Ninjas, those who have survived a few battles are the elite."
"I believe that based on the foundation of ninjas in our village, after experiencing blood, they will transform immediately." Mitomonyan looked carefully at the map placed on the table without raising his head, and then seemed to think of something, asked "What about Shirataki and supplies?"
"Two days ago, I received the news from Rizai that the supplies were secretly escorted by a team led by Shirataki."
"Have they arrived yet?"
Hearing Mitomon Yan's question, Nara Shikara briefly looked through the information he hadn't seen yet, and replied, "No, I haven't received any news so far."
Hearing this, Mitomon Yan moved his gaze away from the map, raised his head slightly to glance at Nara Shikaura, and said in a deep voice, "If the supplies arrive, please notify me as soon as possible."
"How many days away is the backup force from here?" Mitomon Yan looked at Orochimaru when he spoke, and Orochimaru was in charge of the contact with the backup force.
"There are three more days." Orochimaru's cold and hoarse voice sounded, causing the temperature in the already cool room to drop a few degrees.
"Can you speed up? We are under a lot of pressure, and the enemy's attack is getting more and more fierce. It seems that they have received news that we have support, and they want to clear us out of Mifang City before the backup troops arrive." Mitomon Yan Shen Said in a loud voice, now in the Kingdom of Rain, the occupied area of Konoha has become very small, and Sanfang City is the last big city with a city wall in Konoha's hands.If this place is lost, the flames of war will reach the territory of the Land of Fire.At that time, the pressure from the people of the Land of Fire may be poured on Konoha Village.This is what Mitomon Yan doesn't want to see, and Sarutobi Hiruza does not allow it to happen.
"This is already the fastest speed. Many of the backup troops are little ghosts, and many of them are out of the village to perform missions for the first time. This speed is already the result of my repeated urging." Orochimaru's words made Mitomen Yan frowned. It got deeper, and after he sighed lightly, he stopped asking about the reinforcements and began to focus on the war.
Not long after, voices of various high-level discussions sounded in the headquarters.
"Shushashasha." The rain hit the leaves, making a "rustling" sound. The rain and fog lingered in the forest, and the mist was somewhat poetic.In the woods bordering the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, several figures were rapidly moving through the forest.
"Tap!" Shirataki landed on a branch, stopped, and did not move forward.
"The Land of Rain is coming soon, let's take a rest before entering the country." As Bai Taki's voice fell, the six little ones following him also stopped.
"The closer you get to the country of rain, the worse the weather is. The rain has been falling since last night. Even my sense of smell has been affected." She couldn't help complaining.
At this time, the six cubs were all wearing black raincoats, and the large raincoats concealed their figures.Under the raincoat, he was still wearing the casual clothes he had when he left the village, but there were ninja bags tied around his waist and thighs to deal with emergencies.
"Oh? Your sense of smell is affected by the weather? Why didn't I know?" Not far away, Zhiwei jumped from the tree to the ground, raised his head and asked Inuzuka Claw.
"You don't know much." Inuzuka Chou jumped off the tree and landed beside Shiratsuki.Afterwards, the rest of the people also jumped down from the tree and quickly gathered together.
"Rest in place. In this season, it will be dark in one hour. Don't continue on your way when it gets dark."
"We have traveled a long distance and adjusted well before entering the Kingdom of Rain. The territory of the Kingdom of Rain is no different than the Kingdom of Fire. Danger may come to us at any time."
Shiratsuki glanced at the sky and said, while he was speaking, Kaiichi Yamanaka reached out from under the raincoat, took out a scroll and spread it out.
"Boom~" With a soft sound, a black raincloth appeared on the flat ground next to Haiyi, and there were many bits and pieces of iron frames.
Lu Jiu and Ding Zuo, who were standing not far from Haiyi, walked over immediately, and picked up the iron frame familiarly and started to build the canopy.
After Haiyi unwrapped the storage seal scroll, Mizumon walked towards the woods on one side, and set some traps on the trees as he passed by.And Zhiwei jumped onto the branch again, releasing a large number of parasites from his body, and began to be alert.
From Muye Village to the present, their team has been marching for nearly a week under Shirataki's deliberate arrangement, and the seven of them already have some tacit understanding, and there is no need to remind each other when and what to do.
Lu Jiu, Hai Yi, and Ding Zuo are already quite skilled in building tents. Three simple canopies were completed within a few minutes by the three of them.Relying on a tree that grows more lushly, it is placed on the open space.
"Mizumon, it's ready, you should rest first. I'll do the security task." Seeing that Lu Jiu and the other three had built the canopy, Inuzuka Chou shouted towards Minato who was still laying traps in the distance.
One of the characteristics of their team is that they have two ninjas with remote perception capabilities.Inuzuka Chou's sense of smell and Yume Zhiwei's parasites can all be sensed remotely.
Not to mention Baitaki's secondary eye, so their team has never seen even a surprise, let alone a near miss.The bandits along the road did not meet each other despite their deliberate evasion.Therefore, they marched from Konoha to the border of the Land of Rain, and the whereabouts of the team were not grasped by outsiders at all.
"Shh!" Minato was not pretentious, and after patting his paw, he walked into the canopy to rest, "Then I will trouble you, once an hour, and call me when the time comes."
Shuimen walked into the canopy, and didn't care about the mud on the ground, just sat down on the ground and splashed a little mud.
