The Trap Was Triggered!

Kakashi said, "The enemy's rear defenses are relatively weak. We'll concentrate our forces and break through from there."

Kawaki Aoba immediately relayed the order, and everyone began breaking through toward the enemy's rear.

During the breakout, they met fierce resistance from the enemy.

A young ninja was unfortunately struck by the enemy while protecting his companion and collapsed to the ground.

A sharp pain pierced Kawaki Aoba's heart. He shouted, "Everyone, pick up the pace! We have to break through!"
