"First find the hiding place of Kirigakure... Because the area is relatively large, we start searching in groups of two. If we find any traces, we will report them as soon as possible. Do not take action yet, understand? In addition, the distance between the two groups should not be too far. If something happens, they will take care of each other."
After a while, the five-person team came to a cliff. Yubi looked at the stone mountains below, glanced at the map in his hand, and gave instructions.
They passed a village on the way, which must have been attacked not long ago... Many of the debris items left behind were still very new.
"Yes."
The four people nodded and immediately dispersed.
If Kirigakure wants to move within the country and avoid being tracked by Sunagakure, it will inevitably look for a temporary stronghold as a safe house.
Several years of continuous harassment have caused Kirigakure to burrow like a mouse, creating many secret hiding places on the border in this area.
Sunagakure failed to solve the problem of Kirigakure in the first time. As it develops, the situation becomes more and more difficult to deal with.
Yubi acted alone.
Finding Kirigakure means that it is possible to encounter the opponent head-on... there is danger.
It is also an exercise for the Pakura people to learn and track their abilities in the Ninja Academy.
Whoosh...
Yubi walked through the rugged mountains with his eyes scanning back and forth.
He also intended to stay close to Pakura... If something happened, he would be the first to support.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yubi made a discovery.
There was a gap in the stone surface of a mountain... Even though it was disguised, he was still keenly aware of it.
He narrowed his eyes, used the stone to leap forward, and approached it.
On the other side, a group of Sakamoto and Pakura were wandering through the complicated terrain.
The surrounding environment didn't look abnormal... the two of them had no clue at all.
The scorching sun was scorching above his head... After a while, Sakamoto felt tired.
"Did you find anything?"
Sakamoto looked at Pakura knowingly.
Pakura didn't say anything. No matter whether there were enemies in this area or not... the other party was too perfectly disguised.
No flaws can be seen.
"..."
Seeing that Pakura ignored him, Sakamoto closed his mouth knowingly.
Time passed little by little, and the two of them made no progress, which made Pakura become a little impatient.
In order to quickly find out where the enemy is, the two of them no longer acted cautiously, but gradually became bolder... in order to speed up the efficiency of the investigation.
At this time, Pakura suddenly caught the shadow of a mountain, and there seemed to be a black shadow flashing past.
"Be careful!"
She shouted immediately.
Several Kunais were already flying towards her and Sakamoto through the air.
The two of them turned over to avoid it, and when they landed, two Kirigakure were already behind them.
The enemy was too fast... she and Sakamoto had no time to react.
Pakura's expression suddenly changed, and he forcibly shifted his position a little, but was still hit by the opponent's weapon in the shoulder, and then turned around to fight with him in close combat.
Bang!
However, not far away... Sakamoto screamed.
The blood in his neck continued to flow, and he was kicked away by Kirigakure.
"Hey... kill a kid!"
"What's going on...Sunagakure has no one left? Let a group of newbies come to die?"
Kirigakure, who severely injured Sakamoto, smiled sarcastically.
After saying that, he cooperated with his companions and attacked Pakura from one side.
At the same time, both hands Hand Seals.
"Water Release Water Fang Blade!"
A swirling stream of water wrapped around Kirigakure's arm, forming a sharp blade extending more than one meter long.
The eyes that looked at Pakura were filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, Pakura was panicking.
She was entangled by the enemy, unable to escape, and was injured. It was temporarily inconvenient for her to Hand Seals to use her Scorch Release.
It would be okay if there was one Kirigakure, but if two of them joined forces... she wouldn't be able to handle it.
And in this kind of real fighting, when she was under the opponent's power, she couldn't help but feel cold in her body and her movements were a little stiff.
Snap!
Just when she was feeling a little desperate, suddenly, Kirigakure, who was sprinting towards her, suffered a heavy blow to her body and trembled violently.
A bright red shadow disappeared in an instant.
It instantly penetrated Kirigakure's head.
Kill it.
Kirigakure, who was standing in front of her, also fell to the ground with no energy at all.
It was Yubi who came leading Yashamaru.
Yubi just made a simple move and instantly killed the two Kirigakure.
Yubi picked up the seriously injured Sakamoto and looked at his pale face and gradually dilated pupils with a calm expression.
His throat was cut...
In this case, even using Mystical Palm Technique may not be able to save it.
Because...Mystical Palm Technique recovery takes time, and there is no way to restore it instantly.
"Teacher..."
As a medical ninja, Yashamaru knew very well how serious Sakamoto's injury was. As gentle as he was, he couldn't help but feel sad for Sakamoto.
Their team has just arrived... On the first day of the mission, one of them is going to die?
Yubi burst out from the palm of his hand, Chakra, and gently pressed it on Sakamoto's wound.
Soon... less than a few seconds later, although Sakamoto was still covered in blood, his breathing gradually became smoother, and his rolled skin was miraculously healed.
This shocked Yashamaru, who thought Sakamoto would die.
What is this Medical Ninjutsu?
"Okay..."
After a while, as Yubi raised his hand, Sakamoto also regained consciousness, without leaving even a scar on his neck.
Then, Yubi got up and treated Pakura's injuries.
This time, what he used... was the genuine Mystical Palm Technique.
Pakura lowered his head and said nothing... biting his lip.
She thought Yubi would blame herself, but Yubi smiled the whole time.
Didn't say anything.
"Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom... Now you know how powerful the enemy is, right? Kirigakure is good at assassinations. Hiding, tracking and counter-reconnaissance are all their specialties. If you want to find their traces, you must be very careful and calm... A search like yours in such a grand manner may have been noticed by the enemy a long time ago. The reason why they did not attack immediately was just to observe you." Yubi Although he did not accuse them, he still pointed out the problem between the two of them.
"Well... how should I put it, I seem to be a little overestimating the level of the four of you. After all, actual combat and daily training are two different things. Forget it... I'll just follow you first."
Yubi looked at the four people standing in front of him, especially the embarrassed Pakura and Sakamoto, thought for a moment, and slowly spoke.
These are all descendants of high-level officials. Logically speaking, their strength, resources they can obtain, and the training they have received must be far superior to others in the Ninja Academy.
So...Yubi thought that the three of them would perform relatively well.
Not to mention, Pakura is also the owner of Kekkei Genkai.
However... reality is a bit of a slap in the face.
He decided to copy Arai's method, first hide in the dark, and protect a few people... wait until they have the ability and experience to protect themselves.
Yashamaru and Fukushima Taki also encountered trouble. They were also attacked by Kirigakure, but because Yashamaru was there, there were only two enemies, so it was easier to deal with them.
But as a medical ninja, Yashamaru's combat power level is currently relatively limited, although he has a certain foundation in mission experience.
Yubi solved their trouble first and then rushed to Pakura's side.
"I have already checked out this area. It is a team composed of eight Kirigakure... I have also destroyed the hiding place, so we can change places." After that, the atmosphere of the watching team was a bit dull. Yubi laughed and boosted morale, "Don't be depressed... This is the first time for you to experience this kind of thing. It is normal to behave like this. Just work hard in the future. I have full confidence in you!"
Yashamaru on the side was also comforting the three of them.
"Teacher, have you searched this entire area by yourself?"
Fukushima Taki swallowed and said in disbelief, "The enemies... are all killed too?"
"Well... it's okay, it's not difficult."
Yubi smiled heartily.
"..."
The four people listened with different expressions.
What efficiency is this?
The two teams didn't even finish checking the areas designated by each other. Yubi alone had already explored the entire area Kakuzu...
Not only did he come to rescue their two groups, but he also eliminated all Kirigakure... It took such a short time, which means that killing Kirigakure didn't waste much of the teacher's time.
"So strong..."
Fukushima Taki opened his mouth and sighed subconsciously.
With their little minds, they can't even imagine how Yubi did it...
