What Should We Do?

"Senior Maki..."

Looking at the bright lines layered like a spiderweb before him, Dodai could not help but turn to the elder with the most experience in traps. This area had already become a no-entry zone. He knew very well that traps made of Steel Wire were usually connected to Exploding Tags, Kunai, Shuriken, and other explosive projectiles.

Moreover, this was a chain trap. Tug one thread, and the whole body moved. Even the slightest twitch of Maki's finger could trigger the Steel Wire trap before them. Once that happened, the entire trap network would be set off, and utter disaster would await them.

Even his Kekkei Genkai might not be enough to ensure their safety.

"What do you think?"

Yet his question earned him a glare from the elder. Clearly, the elder was still quite angry over Dodai's disrespectful words earlier.

Even Teacher Maki had no solution?

Indeed, the trap wires here interlocked one after another. Getting past the first wire would be easy, but the second, the third... they lay across every possible path beyond the first wire.

But their mission was to recover intelligence. They could not waste even a second; the faster, the better. A detour would take at least ten minutes, and ten minutes was more than enough for Iwa's intelligence team to leave the rendezvous point from the reliable report. And there was also the Iwa
