Facts proved that Kirigakure's protection of Aburatsu Port was far tighter than they had imagined.
Although Qian and his group had done their best to avoid the Mist teams they had fought over the past few days, they were discovered before they had gone far.
And it was not just them. The other allied forces' movements were not going very smoothly either.
Qian's ears twitched. With a little careful listening, he could hear the sounds of battle in the distance.
Perhaps it's time for the next step.
Qian thought this to himself.
Just then, Kobayashi Shunji suddenly came to his side and said anxiously, "Captain, more and more Mist Ninja are gathering around us. Are we still moving forward?"
That was right. Although their movements had been exposed, Qian had still been ordering them to keep advancing all this time, truly as stubborn as if he had swallowed a weight, dead set on attacking Aburatsu Port.
This made Kobayashi Shunji and the others extremely restless. They had already asked him several times whether they should stop.
Fortunately, this time Qian did not give a negative answer.
The so-called second step of the plan was to throw the battlefield into chaos.
In other words, once they confirmed they could no longer continue approaching Aburatsu Port, they would defend on the spot and engage the Mist Ninja in battle, thereby disrupting the entire battlefield.
Only this way would the Jonin about to carry out the decapitation operation have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
And now was more or less that moment.
Therefore, he directly agreed to stop.
Seeing Qian nod, Kobayashi Shunji let out a breath of relief and immediately ordered the Leaf ninja in the rear to split into small teams according to the tactics they had discussed along
