Land of Hot Water, Land of Fire is a small country in the north, famous for its pleasant climate, hot springs, and health resorts. There is a small ninja village named Hot Water Village in the country. Its strength is not enough, it is only better than nothing. This is also known to everyone, so if there is any need, people in this country still tend to hire ninjas from the big ninja village.
"If possible, I would like to rest here for a few more days."
"Yes, it's a pity that we all work hard and have to return to the village as soon as possible."
"It would be nice if we were jounin, we would have relatively free time."
"Nonsense, jonins are even less free. Do you think all jonins just stay in the village in a daze?"
"Captain, hehe, this is all our imagination..."
A team of Konoha Ninja just came to Land of Hot Water for a mission, but due to the deadline of the mission, they came and left in a hurry, and had no way to take a rest here.
This Konoha Ninja team is a standard four-person team, two of whom are Chunin and two of whom are Genin. Their previous mission was to escort a caravan, and a caravan was sent by Land of Fire Daimyo City escorted all the way to Land of Hot Water... In the past few years just after Ninja World War, the security situation in various countries was not very good. Bandits, gangsters, Rogue Ninja, As practitioners in the new get-rich-quick industry emerge in endlessly, the number of escort tasks also increases.
Anyone can write the words "use force to break the ban". I have the strength and you have the money and goods. Why don't I rob you? Social security cannot rely on human moral standards. There are bad people among the masses, let alone Rogue Ninja.
The captain of the Konoha Ninja team performing the escort mission is named Jingū Maki.
The mission has been completed, and the next step is to return. When they came back, they were undoubtedly feeling a little more relaxed.
However, just when they were about to leave the Land of Hot Water country and return to Land of Fire, the shrine suddenly heard a reminder, "Someone is following you."
This sudden and unfamiliar voice caused the group of four people to stop instantly, and three of them turned their attention to the captain... The voice just now was not the captain's voice, but it did come from the captain.
Jingu raised his hand to signal the team members not to be nervous, and immediately asked, "Tigo, are you sure, how many people are following us?"
"I can confirm that the other party has been following you since the capital of Land of Hot Water. He is only one person... the other party's hostility is very obvious."
According to the standard configuration, a ninja team should have both Medical Ninja and reconnaissance ninjas. However, in fact, there are very few teams that can achieve this configuration, because both Medical Ninja and reconnaissance ninjas are scarce resources... Reconnaissance ninjas depend on talent, and Medical Ninja is difficult to train.
"Sorry, although my signal transmission capability has been expanded several times, the perception limit here is basically reached, so there is no way to sense the enemy's traces faster." Tigo then said.
Jingu shook his head, how could this be Tigo's fault? If it hadn't been for her, they wouldn't have noticed that anyone was following them until now.
"Accelerate and evacuate towards Land of Fire." Jingu issued new instructions to the team members.
Since a person dares to chase a group of people, it means that the other party is very confident in his own strength. If there is nothing wrong with this person's brain, it can prove his ability. Therefore, the response of the Shrine is to disengage and avoid fighting as much as possible... Two Chunin Two Genin. The members of the team have no special abilities. Obviously lacking in combat effectiveness, with this team configuration, there is no problem in dealing with thieves and an equal number of baseless Rogue Ninja, but the opponent is obviously not this type of person.
The ninja team suddenly accelerated and broke into Land of Fire in the blink of an eye. Under normal circumstances, the enemy would not dare to enter Land of Fire easily, but...
"The opponent started to speed up... He is faster and will catch up within ten minutes."
Tigo reminded them again. It was obvious that the sudden acceleration of Team Konoha made the other party understand that they had been exposed, so his actions became careless.
"Can't dodge? Do you want to seize a favorable position and launch an attack formation?" Jingu asked.
"Can you find a high-view point? The opponent will enter our field of vision soon."
"Okay."
The shrine quickly began to move towards a high point of view, and then she stopped for a moment, then looked back. After a while, she saw a figure entering her field of vision.
Jingu saw that person, which means that Tigo, who shared the vision, saw the other person.
"Judging from the appearance, the opponent should be Kirigakure rebel, named Kaguya Jukki."
"Are you sure? What about strength and ability?"
"More than 90% sure, if the wanted information given by Kirigakure is correct... Jounin, she is Taijutsu an especially outstanding elite jonin, Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai, known for her cruelty."
This is not the time to worry about why the other party is chasing Konoha Ninja. Under the high-pressure rule of "Blood Mist Village", some Kirigakure Ninja have long been mentally disturbed, and there is no reason for rebel ninjas to attack ninjas from other ninja villages.
And through Tigo's simple introduction, Jingu already understood that this Kirigakure rebellious ninja was not something his team could handle... For ordinary ninjas, enemies who are proficient in Taijutsu are the most difficult people to deal with.
"Spread out and evacuate... Sorry, this is outside the transmission range of my Chakra." Tigo gave her reasonable advice. At the current distance, she was unable to deliver Chakra over long distances and in large quantities for battlefield support.
Therefore, it is no longer a solution to disperse and retreat, and only one person can escape... Well, compared to someone successfully escaping, it is actually more likely that they will be defeated by everyone, but this is still much better than being wiped out by the enemy in one fell swoop.
Jingu naturally understood the risks of this order, so she shook her head decisively.
"I'll stop her, and you guys should evacuate first."
"Captain, we have a chance to fight the enemy together!"
To be honest, the team members didn't really understand what was going on. Of course they knew that they were being chased by a powerful enemy, but what conversation had the captain been having? Why were they so convinced of this kind of information?
"Execute the order! Don't forget the code of ninja." When he said this, Jingu had already started to Hand Seals.
She had already said such words, so her team members could no longer disobey the order. The team members gritted their teeth, turned around and left... They wanted to go back quickly to bring in reinforcements. Although this idea was a bit deceptive considering the distance between here and Konoha, they could only think so.
When her teammates were evacuating, Jingu Hand Seals cast Summoning Technique, and then she summoned a Ninja Dog. She reached out and touched Ninja Dog's head, and then took off a small bag hanging from Ninja Dog's neck.
What was in her pocket was Chakra Crystal that she had accumulated for a month.
Jingu stared closely at the approaching figure, and then stuffed those Chakra Crystal into his mouth one by one.
Then the Chakra intensity in her body began to increase continuously.
"As a female ninja, I can't lose easily..."
