In the sky of the forest, the chirping of eagles penetrated the layers of mountain peaks and echoed throughout the entire forest. The sound was clear and harsh!
In the dense woods on the ground, a figure wearing a beige windbreaker and Monkey Mask stood on a five-meter-high treetop. He inserted his hands into the pockets of his coat, raised his head and looked through the treetops with green eyes, quietly looking at the Flying Eagle hovering in the sky with its wings spread. WwW COM
Not far away, a black figure quickly jumped over several treetops, and in the blink of an eye it came to the ninja wearing the Monkey Mask figure. He said with a bit of hesitation, "Captain, there seems to be something wrong with this eagle. It seems to have been hovering around this valley..."
"What about Yan, has he sensed the chakra fluctuations around him?"
Under Monkey Mask, this figure's voice is not deep, and he is obviously not old.
The figure wearing the Eagle Mask lowered his head and said, "Well, Yan's perception range is about four kilometers, but he has not sensed other chakra fluctuations yet. However, captain, I am sure that this eagle is definitely... there is definitely something wrong..."
Sato Hideaka nodded and said, "Indeed, Flying Eagle, your insight is much stronger than before. This eagle is hovering in this forest. Although it looks like it is hunting, every once in a while, this eagle will fly in the direction of the Medical Department team... and in the one o'clock direction of its flight, there will be a chirping sound..."
"How could a wild eagle be such a coincidence? It even uses military terminology. Hurry up and notify the team to prepare for action. The enemy this time is probably not weak!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Flying Eagle lowered his head in agreement and quickly disappeared from the spot.
**********
Five kilometers away from the Nonō Medical Department team, in the dense woods at the bottom of the mountain, twenty-four figures quickly passed over the treetops. With the trembling of the tree trunks, they quickly shuttled through the forest, like vigorous and agile apes.
"Konoha Medical Department team is still five kilometers away. All members begin to suppress the chakra fluctuations and advance to area a, striving to quickly annihilate this large number of Konoha's Medical Ninja troops."
Sukehiro led the team at the front and said while jumping among the trees.
"Oh!"
The twenty-three Sunagakure ninjas behind them lowered their voices and shouted in unison. They followed Sukehiro from all directions, and together they began to suppress their own chakra fluctuations, and used their full power to run through the dense forest...
Marching without the use of chakra consumes a lot of ninja's physical strength. It is absolutely undesirable in long-distance marching. However, their purpose at this moment is to quickly detour the opponent's direction and then lay a trap...
Facing the more than two hundred Medical Ninja troops, even with the existence of elite jounin like Sukehiro, a combat force of more than twenty people will inevitably suffer a large number of casualties. The best way is to use your own experience to set up traps, and then use the traps to defeat your opponents.
This can also reduce... one's own casualties.
Under the "instant" surveillance of the black-brown flying eagle above, Sukehiro easily grasped the marching path of Yakushi Nonō. However, their speed was at least two levels faster than the "turtles" of Medical Ninja's unit.
Quickly circling in front of Nonō's marching path, the twenty-four Iwagakure Ninja quickly prepared various traps, Explosive Tag traps, ground spike traps, Kunai ejection traps, rolling stone traps... etc., these traps were layered on top of each other and were even arranged very cleverly.
Among these densely packed traps, the traps at the front can be manually controlled. Only when the opponent's large forces completely enter the center of these traps will the entire trap start to move, ensuring that it can exert maximum killing power...
Okay, this is a very good large-scale trap group!
However, after this group of Iwagakure Ninja entered the two-kilometer range around Sato Hideaka, in a dark world in his heart, these twenty-four blue figures that looked like electric lights appeared. Their movement trajectory and direction had already been completely controlled by Sato Hideaka.
At this time, the Sunagakure ninja who thought he was a hunter had already become a prey under the gun, and his identities began to change...
"Giant Elephant, Yakushi Nonō, the docking over there, and the traps we set up, how are they completed now?"
Not far from the "death trap group" set by Sunagakure ninja, as five figures flew back to him from all directions in the forest, Sato Hideaka asked the team members who had already lined up.
"Our trap has been successfully laid before them, and we are just waiting for the enemy to enter." Giant Elephant took a step forward and replied seriously, "As for Minister Nonō, they have also been informed. They will announce a rest in front of the trap we have laid, and then wait for the enemy to be arrested..."
Sato Hideaka nodded, snorted coldly and said, "Okay, since these Iwagakure guys want to play a trap with us, we will set up a counter-trap with them to see who can stay calm this time... According to the original plan, everyone will come out!"
After that, the figure of Sato Hideaka quickly moved forward, and the five ninjas behind him just followed. Not long after, they came to the path of the Yakushi Nonō Medical Department team and stopped in a slightly wider place.
"Giant Elephant" in the team came to a hidden corner of the forest alone. Before Yakushi Nonō came to this place, a beam of sunlight was refracted by a shaped mirror, and the beam of sunlight was dazzled in front of Yakushi Nonō's eyes.
The sudden dazzling feeling made Yakushi Nonō dodge twice, and then she subconsciously looked in the direction of the beam. In the dark woods, she faintly saw a tall figure. This figure was the Anbu Ninja who had contacted her before.
Could it be that... are those enemies not far away?
"Giant Elephant" who contacted Yakushi Nonō basically told Yakushi Nonō all the reasons, including the information that she had been targeted by a group of Sunagakure ninjas, that Anbu was creating a trap, and was preparing to catch all these Sunagakure ninjas!
Even so, such information still made Yakushi Nonō feel a sense of fear, because the situation this time was very similar to the last time she failed. Both were preparing to rush to the front line, but were targeted by the enemy and created traps, waiting for them to be caught...
It was as if those fears from the past had reappeared again, making them seem a bit unreal.
Suppressing the emotional fluctuations in his heart, Yakushi Nonō suddenly turned to the team behind him after the other party sent out the signal information. "Well, everyone must be very tired. This platform on the mountainside is just suitable for placing equipment. Let's put the equipment here and take a rest first!"
"Wow, I can finally rest. The mountain road is really difficult, especially with these big guys on my back."
"Rest, it's time to take a good rest. I'll drink some water and eat some solid food first. I'll wait for a while and then I can really relax when I get to the base camp of Konoha."
"..."
The members of the Medical Department took off their equipment one after another, then sat on rocks or medical equipment, took out their own water bottles and started drinking water. The long journey made them consume a lot of energy and water, and resting was often the most tiring time.
After wiping a sweat, an experienced middle-aged Medical Ninja suddenly came to Nonō and asked with some confusion, "Dean Nonō, we should not be far from the base camp now. Why don't we rush to the base camp first? It will be more dangerous if we stay in the mountains longer."
"Um, yes, yes, I think the seniors are right. We are not very tired... we just need to hold on and we can get to the base camp." Saki sat on an exposed tree root and asked with some doubts.
Mina was lying on a thick root of a tree, whistling to the side. "I'm not tired. I'm almost exhausted from climbing mountains. I must have a good sleep when I get to the camp. As for the danger to you, Saki, there will be no, no... My senses have not sensed any chakra fluctuations nearby, and there are no traces of enemy ninjas. There is no danger."
"What's more, this place is not far from the base camp of our Konoha Ninja army. How can any Sunagakure ninja dare to get so close to us? Isn't this looking for death? You must know that one of the three, Lady Tsunade, is on the front line..."
"Although this is true, I always feel better." Saki said weakly, feeling a little unsure.
"Okay, Mina, the closer we get to our base camp, the more careful we have to be, because the enemy ninjas who can wander around the base camp are often experienced ninjas. They have extremely strong hiding abilities, and their strength is not weak..." Yakushi Nonō frowned slightly when he heard Mina's words, because such an idea is too hasty for the safety of the team.
Perhaps it is because Mina has learned the skill of "sensing chakra fluctuations", this type of Medical Ninja is often very obsessed with and dependent on his own abilities. However, as long as there is a ninjutsu, there will be a way to break it. Relying too much on something will often reveal fatal flaws...
This is also the experience gained by Yakushi Nonō, who has been working as a spy for Root for several years!
At least, Mina did not sense the trap of Sunagakure ninja.
However, the members of Anbu who were hiding around the Medical Ninja troops discovered danger from the shadows. This made Yakushi Nonō a little discouraged. No matter how well these Medical Ninja were trained, was there still such a big gap on the battlefield compared to those elite Anbu ninjas?
"What, the Medical Department team of Konoha actually stopped to rest not far in front of our trap. How could this happen?"
The Sunagakure captain Sukehiro, who was waiting for the Konoha Medical Department team to be arrested, opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief when he heard the message from the scouts. At this critical moment, Konoha and the Medical Department team still have time to rest. Isn't this the time when they need to rush back to the Konoha base camp?
After all, the longer you stay in the forest, the more dangerous you will be!
The scout ninja half-knelt on the ground, nodded awkwardly and asked with some confusion, "Captain, what should we do now, should we continue to wait for the Konoha ninja to enter the trap, or should we take the initiative to attack?"
Sunagakure Captain Sukehiro was also in a dilemma at this time. After all, if he took the initiative, the trap he had worked so hard to create would be in vain. Wouldn't it be a joke?
As for the Medical Department team waiting for Konoha to rest and take the initiative to enter the trap...
The more time you waste, the more variables you will have! (To be continued.
