Sand Shinobi Front Lines-The Jinchūriki Appeared
"Strange, it was definitely in this location, how could it suddenly disappear?"
In the wind and snow, many sounds were drowned out.
However, the people inside the cave were either Jonin Special Jōnin ninjas; how could they not hear clearly?
Even Muta was wearing sunglasses, looked unusually dark-skinned at this moment, after all, it really was because of his bug.
Hagoromo reached out and pressed down, and the others inside the cave understood.
Click--
The sound of footsteps treading on branches hidden under the snow rang out, followed immediately by the sound of a slap.
"Withdraw!"
Hagoromo, inside the cave, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth; this leader was far too cautious.
But--
Since you're already here, do you think you can just leave?
Although the disappearance of the patrol team would prompt the Sand Shinobi to come looking for them, it would be a real problem to let the patrol team go back.
Given their cautious nature, they will expose themselves even more quickly.
We might as well take advantage of this time difference and capture them in one fell swoop, since we're almost there anyway.
Asuma naturally understood this principle, Chakra Blade was already in his hand.
As Hagoromo waved her hand, the people inside the cave Body Flicker Technique emerged.
"Who!"
Although the commotion was small, the fact that they could detect the Aburame Clan's scouting insects meant they were no ordinary people.
Just as Hagoromo and the others rushed out, someone from the retreating patrol team shouted loudly.
Bass--
Asuma, moving at high speed, didn't waste any words; his Chakra Blade, imbued with wind blades, was concealed by the falling snow.
It pierced straight through the chest of the sensory ninja who had spoken.
"Shagui!"
The Sand Shinobi captain leading the team exclaimed in surprise, everything happened so fast that even he hadn't had time to react.
"Insect Sphere!"
"Palm Immortal·Iai Slash!"
With a wave of his hand, Muta unleashed Kikaichū, instantly subduing two of them.
What followed was the Yutoshi's longsword, imbued with green Chakra, swiftly slashing down, cutting the target in two.
The Jonin who had just exclaimed in surprise now had wide eyes and a look of utter confusion on his face.
Bass--
After learning the information she needed, Hagoromo slashed the neck of the Special Jōnin in front of her with a single stroke.
"We did our best; the next shift for this team isn't until two hours later."
Hagoromo showed no sign of joy; time was too tight.
"Let's go." Asuma said nothing more and simply put away the Chakra Blade that had pierced the sensory ninja.
"Hmm." Hagoromo nodded, then took a step, and the several corpses on the ground were instantly buried by the mound of earth.
Although it wasn't very useful, it still made the arriving Sand Shinobi take some effort.
This time, Hagoromo and her group sped up their pace without holding back.
"For the rest of the journey, I'll lead the way, Muta Yutoshi in the middle, Asuma, you'll bring up the rear."
Feathered Hagoromo moved swiftly across the snow as if walking on flat ground, as he spoke.
As Hagoromo gave the order, Asuma and the others behind him nodded and began to adjust their positions.
If we only consider burning the supplies, this mission would be at most A-rank mission.
However, this location is behind the Sand Shinobi Village headquarters, which immediately raises the difficulty level to S-rank or higher.
After all, they might encounter more than just a few dozen Sand Shinobi. No matter how strong Hagoromo is, she can't withstand the sheer number of Sand Shinobi.
Therefore, what they need to compete on now is the time difference.
The four of them moved quickly and stealthily through the snow-covered ground, fortunately the snow wasn't too heavy.
Hagoromo's senses were activated to the maximum, allowing her to avoid every patrol team in every location.
However, as they got closer to the location of the Sand Shinobi Village's food supplies, the number of squads responsible for setting up sentries also increased.
After dodging another small group of Sand Shinobi, Hagoromo looked up at the sky.
The Yutoshi behind him checked the time and then looked at Hagoromo, saying, "Time is running out."
Hagoromo nodded. More than an hour had passed since they had wiped out the Sand Shinobi squad.
Considering the time it would take for them to rotate shifts, it's safe to say that the Sand Shinobi Village should be reacting by now.
"Get ready, things are about to get tough."
As Hagoromo spoke, Yu Yi re-bandaged the bandages on her wrist, and then she directly slipped inside.
If you're lucky, you'll succeed immediately; if you're unlucky, you can only give it your all and then retreat.
Immediately, Hagoromo slammed his hand down on the ground. "Summoning Technique!"
"Meow?" Sansan, who had just arrived, looked completely bewildered before seeing Hagoromo in front of her.
"Sansan, you stay here and lie in wait. Once I give the signal, you come immediately."
Hagoromo said with a serious expression, and Sansan nodded quickly.
He's familiar with the kind of thing where you retreat after you've done your job.
Seeing that Sansan nodded, Hagoromo turned to Asuma and the others and said, "Over the next half hour, do everything possible to get things arranged. Once the time is up, gather and leave immediately."
"Clear!"
The Yutoshi immediately pulled out several scrolls and said, "These are the scrolls I used for sealing. Just release your Chakra onto them to unseal them."
Asuma and Muta accepted them, while Hagoromo waved his hand and said, "I have some with me, you can take them."
The scroll contained nothing but water and oil.
The most effective way to destroy the supplies is by fire. Once Asuma and the others have placed them properly, a single Fire Style will be enough to take care of them.
"Let's go then!"
Hagoromo spoke, and in an instant, the four figures disappeared from the spot.
Sansan yawned, then burrowed into the snow beside her, peeking out with her eyes to look around.
In the Sand Shinobi's logistics base, Hagoromo slowly crept up from the ground behind a tent.
After glancing around, he silently walked into the tent next to him.
Kaba--
A crisp sound of a neck snapping rang out, and not long after, Hagoromo stepped out again.
However, he was already wearing Sand Shinobi clothes.
Ground-based stealth is too dangerous. After all, although the Sand Shinobi's seals are crude, they can still serve as a warning.
Just now, when she was on the ground, Hagoromo almost triggered the seal.
Now they can only use this facade to cause trouble. Hagoromo seems to really be a Sand Shinobi, wandering around the entire logistics base.
Some of the patrolling Sand Shinobi didn't find it strange to see Hagoromo in this state, and even greeted him as they passed by.
Asuma, who had been secretly placing water and oil around, was also speechless when he saw Hagoromo like this.
No?
Is this even possible?
So what were he and Muta and the others doing so cautiously?
Are you playing?
As if sensing something, Hagoromo gestured towards Asuma's location before continuing his journey.
Asuma, who was lurking, turned his head and continued, the message that Hagoromo had just given him was to speed up the action.
Someone is coming.
A water-oil Hagoromo was placed beside it, and the sensory perception was turned up to the maximum.
In his perception, that massive amount of Chakra was rapidly approaching.
This kind of Chakra can only be felt in Jinchūriki.
The Sand Shinobi Frontline – There's actually Jinchūriki here?!
