56: The Root's Trap

Deep in the dark and cold forest, it was already around one o'clock in the morning, and the three of Shiraishi rushed towards their destination.

　　With the help of the faint moonlight, you can see a large number of steel wires connected between the big trees, forming an airtight web, waiting for the prey to fall into it.

　　It's not that I don't want to break in from a safe place, but this is the weakest point of the defense.

　　Further ahead is the important supply point of the sandy ninja.

　　That is to say, no matter what, it is impossible to break in silently, and in such an important place, there must be a perception ninja in charge of monitoring, and the whereabouts of the three of them may have been exposed.

　　The webs made of steel wire were cut, and the kunai and shuriken that shot down from the dark sky were densely packed. Some kunai handles were also attached with detonating talismans, and the corners were burning.

　　Boom!

　　Boom!

　　The endless bombardment caused people's eardrums to ache.

　　The earth trembled, and the surrounding trees quickly burst into flames, engulfing the tranquility of the night.

　　However, this also proves that the front is an important supply point for Sand Village. Otherwise, there would not be such a careful defensive trap. Even if we observed it beforehand, we could not avoid it without any movement, and we could only forcefully break in.

　　"Come on, there are eleven people in the west, nine people in the south, and seventeen people in the back."

　　Ayane rolled her eyes to observe the number of ninjas who came to prevent them from rushing into the defensive position, a total of thirty-seven.

　　Among them, most of them are Chunin, and there are a few Jōnin mixed in, who are team leaders.

　　"Start taking the antidote."

　　After Shiraishi finished speaking, he swallowed the white pill first.

　　Ruri and Ayane did the same, taking antidote.

　　Then Shiraishi took out two smoke bombs from the ninja bag and exploded in the forest swept by the flames. For a while, the gray smoke filled the sky. Even if it was useless for sensing ninjas, it could be used to hinder the rest of the ninjas and throw them into chaos. .

　　"Damn, there's poison in this smoke! Get out now!"

　　The well-trained Sand Hidden ninja broke into the smoky area and immediately noticed something was wrong. The body began to feel weak and weak, and a painful feeling of suffocation made them dizzy. Some ninjas with low poison resistance ability directly He fell to the ground, his body twitching in pain.

　　"Fire escape, the fire is extinguished!"

　　Ruri's hands quickly formed a seal, and a chakra that was far larger than the technique of the fireball accumulated in her mouth, and she released it all in one breath.

　　The waves of fire soaring into the sky overwhelmed the trees in front of them.

　　In the scorching fire, the night was rendered as red as blood.

　　The originally icy air rose sharply, making those within the scope of the sea of ​​flames feel that their bodies were immersed in boiling water, and their skins became extremely hot.

　　Three small figures rushed forward like lightning. I believe that with this meeting ceremony, the sand hidden ninja at the supply point probably couldn't sit still anymore.

　　The range of Ruri's fire escape is very large, and there are flammable trees everywhere. Using wind escape will fuel the fire and make the fire more prosperous.

　　These fires can only be put out with water escapes, and water escapes are the escaping techniques that Sandy Ninjas are not good at. Moreover, such a huge sea of ​​fire has been completely dispersed and spread to a wide range, far beyond the comparison of ordinary fire escape techniques.

　　It is not something that can be done in a short period of time if you want to extinguish it with water.

　　Because the time to act is only ten minutes, it seems that the feint plan has been effective, but how much attention can be attracted by the sand hidden ninja, Shiraishi and the three can not guarantee anything, they can only do their best to complete the task.

　　After ten minutes, regardless of the success or failure of the mission, you must leave the battlefield.

　　In the blazing forest, shrill and painful screams were constantly heard, and the Sand Hidden troops who met Shiraishi three people head-on, the battle was over in the blink of an eye.

　　Shiraishi played with the kunai in his hand,

Passing by a sandy ninja who was rushing up, Kunai cut off his carotid artery, killing him on the spot.　　"Gossip · Empty Palm!"

　　boom!

　　Ayane swung out the palm of her hand, and launched a chakra shock wave similar to an air cannon. It hit the sandy ninja who wanted to sneak attack from behind. The opponent flew out while vomiting blood and broke a tree.

　　This is a special long-range body technique derived from the white eyes of the Hyuga clan. The move is invisible and colorless, and the target of the attack can hardly be distinguished with the naked eye. If it is not a perceptive ninja, it is difficult to avoid this move.

　　And this long-range attack move was the reward for Ayane in the last mission.

　　The third hokage negotiated with the elders of the Hyuga clan. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of Sakumo's team, I hope that the Hyuga clan could teach Ayane more secret techniques of soft boxing.

　　Bagua·Empty Palm is one of them.

　　This time, Shiraishi and Ayane will be in charge of the outside of the supply point plan for the attack on Sandyin. Ruri only needs to accumulate chakra, continuously release fire ninjutsu to increase the scale of destruction, and attract all the attention of the sandy ninja. Open a gap for the Anbu people to attack the local supply point.

　　The huge fire wave spread out again, the scorching high temperature, the raging flames, and the cold air of the forest swept away.

　　Looking around, there are traces of raging flames everywhere.

　　And the price to pay is also very high. Due to the continuous use of high-level fire escape ninjutsu, the chakra in Ruri's body is rapidly consumed. It is estimated that after a few more high-level fire escape techniques like this, the chakra will bottom out.

　　Ruri stopped as soon as she saw it. The riots here have almost reached their peak, and they still need to move forward for a while to try to further expand the scale of the riots.

　　As you go deeper into the sand hidden ninja hinterland, there is a stream in front of the supply point, and there are a large number of tents stationed on the opposite side of the stream, surrounded by tall trees that can be used to shelter the camp.

　　A fire broke out in the opposite forest, which has already aroused the alertness of the sandy ninjas here. Under the effective command of the upper ninjas, the sandy ninjas who were waiting here were not chaotic at all, and they were not worried because of the fierce attack of the enemy.

　　"Is it Konoha's ninja? Why are you attacking here? Did they discover the secret weapon here?"

　　One of them, Sandyin Jōnin, frowned.

　　"If that's the case, things are not going well. You know, protecting the Jinchūriki will not allow any sloppy behavior."

　　"No matter what, the use of tailed beast weapons must not be leaked in advance, and Konoha will be caught off guard!"

　　The eyes of many Sand Hidden Jōnin were murderous, and they were determined to wipe out the invading Konoha ninjas.

　　On the opposite side of the river, Ayane's body suddenly trembled and stopped.

　　Seeing Ayane stop, Shiraishi and Ruri also stopped.

　　"What's up?"

　　As the eyes of the entire team, without Ayane's white eyes, Shiraishi and Ruri could only fly around like headless flies.

　　"Something's wrong, I didn't see the warehouse where the supplies were stored. This is not a supply point for Sandyin at all!"

　　Ayane's face turned pale, and she realized the seriousness of the matter.

　　Sakumo told them that the main purpose of this mission is to cut off the supply point of Shayin, and it needs to cooperate with Anbu.

　　Although it was a ninja who called himself 'Root', it was also a branch of Anbu, and they had a very familiar understanding of this mission, so the three of them believed it was true.

　　However, now Ayane glanced around the hinterland of this 'supply point' with her white eyes, and found no warehouse for storing supplies at all, only a large number of sand hidden ninjas are closely guarded here.

　　Other than that, nothing.

　　Ayane can tell that this is because it is occupied by the sandy ninja, but it is not a supply point.

　　After hearing Ayane's words, Shiraishi and Ruri also changed their expressions.

　　Deceived! The thought popped into my head instantly.

　　"go!"

　　Not daring to stop at all, Shiraishi was the first to react, but he didn't care that he was on a mission. There must be an explanation for this kind of thing.

　　If the mission failed because of poor ability, Shiraishi had nothing to refute.

　　But the information provided was wrong, and the mission was full of camouflage and deceit, so there was no need to persist.

　　The three quickly set off to retreat, but at this time, Sandyin Ninja had already arranged personnel around, forming a large airtight net to surround the three of Shiraishi.

　　...

　　On the top of the cliff in the distance, four Anbu 'root' ninjas are standing or sitting, with the moonlight behind them as the background, and with a condescending attitude, they look indifferently at the riots and fires in the forest.

　　"The three of them are quite capable. No wonder Danzo-sama wants to get rid of this Uchiha genius and let her grow up. It's too dangerous."

　　"In the end, Uchiha's guy is just untrustworthy. It's a pity for White Eyes and that medical ninja."

　　"No way, but if the evil Uchiha ninja can be wiped out, the two of them know that they will die well."

　　"In this way, Konoha White Fang has to bear the name of an incompetent boss who cannot protect his subordinates. The next Hokage will be Danzo-sama. Only Danzo-sama can make Konoha embark on a stronger path."

　　The four communicated word by word, believing in the 'Danzo-sama' in their mouths with a fanatical attitude.

　　Originally, according to the plan, they were supposed to start a suicide raid on the hidden sand camp here, but now they are just watching here as bystanders, completely ignoring the ninja of their own village and falling into the encirclement of the enemy, indifferent.

　　"Going now? Seems like there's nothing to see."

　　"Wait, although I don't believe that they have the ability to break out, but just in case, if they are lucky enough to escape from it, we will go up and deal with the survivors. We can't leave any clues, and it is also given to us by Danzo-sama. order."
