At this moment, Akira Sarutobi's mission was to infiltrate behind enemy lines and learn the enemy's detailed movements.
This mission had been assigned by the Anbu Commander, Danzo.
During wartime, the difficulty of infiltrating the enemy's interior increased drastically.
Wartime martial law was completely different from peacetime.
The squad circled around for a long time but still found no opportunity to infiltrate Sunagakure.
However, Akira Sarutobi believed that if they kept waiting, they would eventually discover a gap in the enemy's defenses.
One night.
Akira Sarutobi hid behind a rock, listening to the howling wind beside him.
In the darkness, the temperature suddenly dropped below freezing, forcing Ruri Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and the others to put on thick coats.
The only one who looked different was Akira Sarutobi, who still wore a thin set of black clothes.
Ice Release: Bloodline Limit allowed Akira Sarutobi to fear no bitter cold.
"I found a squad..."
At that moment, Ruri Hyuga suddenly spoke.
Veins bulged around her inorganic eyes. Rather than diminishing the girl's beauty, they added a peculiar charm to her.
As Ruri observed them, the Anbu squad gradually became alert.
Lying prone on the slope, everyone watched the Sunagakure squad below as it gradually approached.
Judging by the enormous scrolls strapped to their backs, they were likely a logistics unit responsible for supplies.
If they were transporting ordinary materials, such a squad normally would not be escorted by experts.
Yet Akira Sarutobi immediately saw what made this squad different.
"That little girl..."
As the pupil of his right eye contracted, Akira Sarutobi saw a girl who somewhat resembled Rin Nohara.
"Pakura's 'disciple'..."
The next moment.
The system displayed a prompt.
