Through the family emblem, their identity can be easily determined.
They are Hyuga Clan, Inuzuka Clan, and Aburame Clan.
The three jounin are all reconnaissance ninjas, and they have their own strengths in reconnaissance.
Hyuga Clan has no blind spots, Inuzuka Clan relies on its taste, and Aburame Clan has its own bugs.
With their presence, even if they are ambushed by Kumogakure on the road, they will probably be discovered early and be prepared.
At this moment, after seeing the two Chiba arriving, the leading ninja Hyuga Clan walked out immediately.
"You two are the Uchiha Chiba and Itachi Uchiha that Master Kushina said, right?"
"I am Hyuga Ryuzaki, the leading ninja on this escort mission!"
"It's my two team members, Inuzuka Oda and Aburame Sanji!"
As the captain, Hyuga Ryuzaki introduced.
Hearing this, Inuzuka Oda and Aburame Sanji smiled at Chiba, which was regarded as a face-to-face meeting.
"Hello, I am Itachi Uchiha!"
"I am Uchiha Chiba!"
After saying hello, Chiba and Itachi immediately followed the troops and prepared to deliver supplies.
Wait until Chiba and Itachi go far away.
Inuzuka Oda and Aburame Sanji looked at Hyuga Ryuzaki.
"Captain... is this the invisible Uchiha Clan?"
"Why would Master Kushina accept him as his apprentice?"
"How can a blind man escort supplies? Really... isn't this adding chaos?"
···
"Okay, please stop saying a few words."
"After all, this is what Mr. Kushina personally ordered."
"Anyway, there have been no problems with the transportation of materials. There is nothing dangerous."
"Master Kushina probably also wants to let them get familiar with the battlefield."
"Genin who is here, is that not like this? You and I are also newbies--"
"Ninjas always grow."
These three people returned from the battlefield and delivered supplies.
Naturally, I don't know Uchiha Chiba's reputation among Konoha at this moment..
Chapter 69
The first mission seemed a little nervous for Itachi.
He was too focused, squatting down from time to time to check his surroundings.
Seeing this, Chiba sighed.
"Itachi, I think you are a little too vigilant."
"We are still within the territory of Land of Fire. If there is an ambush here, it can only mean one thing."
"What's the problem?"
"That means the front line has been breached."
Chiba said calmly.
And if the front line is breached, can they still ambush me?
Wouldn't it be nice to attack the village yourself?
"So, Itachi, relax!"
"If there is an ambush or danger, I will definitely discover it in advance and notify you."
"If you really find signs of an ambush here... then--"
Speaking of this, Chiba's tone suddenly became slower.
Sensing Chiba's strangeness, Itachi tilted his head.
"What's wrong, Mr. Chiba..."
"That can only come from within the village--"
At this time, Chiba suddenly turned back and faced the direction of the village.
His Observation Haki and Haki captured an unusual atmosphere.
Those were ninjas, and there were a lot of them.
There are nine people. If calculated as a team, there are three teams.
Chiba leaned close to Itachi's ear and whispered.
"There are people following us, three teams, nine people."
"Huh? Are you secretly protecting this supply team?"
Chiba shook his head.
"I'm not sure. It's far away... It doesn't look like they're here to protect supplies!"
The distance is too far.
Even his Observation Haki was slightly captured.
The other party had no intention of getting closer.
I'm afraid it's to control distance.
With this in mind, Chiba faced the front of the team.
"Is that... Byakugan's ultimate distance?"
It seems that the transportation of supplies will not be peaceful this time.
"Itachi, be careful, this material delivery... I'm afraid something might happen~".
Although Itachi didn't know how Chiba made this judgment.
But seeing the ninja look on Chiba's face, Itachi nodded immediately.
"I understand."
"Chiba-kun, just leave your back to me."
The material delivery team keeps moving forward.
The three jonin leading the team each took their own positions.
Hyuga Ryuzaki is at the front, and Byakugan will be used to detect it every certain distance to ensure that there is no danger before the team continues to move forward.
On both sides, two people, Inuzuka Oda and Aburame Sanji, ensure safety.
Perhaps it was because the three jounin had all come from the battlefield, so they had the necessary sense of vigilance without appearing nervous.
And those Genin in the center of the team are like a hundred flowers blooming.
There are many people who are as overly nervous as Itachi.
At the same time, I felt relaxed and happy along the way, and I didn't feel that I would encounter any danger at all.
Chiba continues to use Observation Haki to explore the surrounding situation.
The nine ninjas from the village did not make any movement, and they still kept their distance.
In this case.
The team successfully left the territory of Land of Fire, truly left Land of Fire, and headed towards the front line.
As soon as he walked out of Land of Fire, Itachi soon realized that something was wrong.
"Chiba-kun... the delivery route has changed this time."
Kushina gave Itachi and Chiba the route for this mission in advance.
But now, it has deviated.
Thinking of this, Chiba came to the front of the team on crutches.
Seeing Chiba coming over, the captain Hyuga Ryuzaki, who was leading the team this time, immediately smiled and spoke.
"What's wrong, Chiba?"
"Captain Ryuzaki, I would like to ask, has the material delivery route been changed this time?"
"Tell me the route!"
Hyuga Ryuzaki smiled.
"The route you all got is wrong."
"This is to prevent spies from other villages from getting our supply route in advance, so the real route is always with me."
This answer does not satisfy Chiba.
He didn't know whether the others' route was correct.
However, the route he and Itachi took was given to them by Kushina.
Kushina doesn't know that some of the routes are fake?
Since she gave it, it must be true.
However, the route is still different.
In addition, behind the team, the three teams of ninjas have been sneaking around.
Chiba exhaled slowly.
Has it been cheated?
He did not continue talking to Hyuga Ryuzaki.
Even if you say what you think, the other person probably won't believe it.
"Yes, I understand, Captain Ryuzaki."
Chiba did not retreat, but remained at the front of the team, with Itachi following behind him.
". ¨Chiba-kun, how's it going?"
"Be prepared for battle at any time, there must be an ambush ahead..."
Subconsciously, Itachi held his Ninja Blade.
Everything seems to be calm now, but since Chiba said it, something will definitely happen.
At the same time, at this time, Hyuga Ryuzaki thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
He remembered that Chiba was the apprentice of Kushina.
Since Kushina gave Chiba the roadmap, it shouldn't be fake.
Has my route map been temporarily changed?
In my heart, I vaguely had a bad premonition.
He turned on Byakugan to explore the surrounding intelligence.
In the sky, three birds flew by. Within the visual range, no other chakras were detected on the earth.
It was at this time that Chiba suddenly stopped.
"Captain Ryuzaki, there is an ambush."
"Huh?"
