Lacking the captain's experience, and due to geographical reasons, they hadn't encountered many people who Water Release.
But San Rika still made the same choice as the captain.
Because my basic course teacher taught me about Water Release techniques.
The bigger or the smaller, the more dangerous those things are.
Sure enough, after dodging those sounds, she heard noises coming from the surrounding Daiki.
"Bang bang bang~!"
Amidst a series of muffled thuds, the two dodged the first wave of attacks.
Of course, their speed also decreased due to their movements.
Especially after dodging the Wind Release, he faced the simultaneous attack of the Aburame's Secret Technique.
They were forced to stop in their tracks.
Seeing the black scythe, the ninja who had stopped quickly formed hand seals.
Several Taiseki were lifted from the ground one after another.
"Bang bang bang~!"
Sensing the impact of the Ninjutsu, he ordered his subordinates who were hiding behind him, "Be careful, these kids are trying to outmaneuver us."
"Later, you'll follow behind me, stepping in my footprints."
"There are so many terrifying Traps in here!"
Thinking of the scene he had seen in his perception before, Shinobu subconsciously shook his head.
The Wood Release Brat turned this mountain into a death trap.
If it weren't for the opportunities he had in his early years, he wouldn't have acquired those three skills.
If we replace them with other villagers, even if the number doubles, it won't change.
Even with their formidable strength, the chances of them getting the bounty unscathed are incredibly slim.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard that brat tried, he could never have imagined it.
Such a meticulous plan, yet it was all seen through by your own Sensory Technique!
Realizing this, he sensed that the external attack had ended.
He cut off the Chakra supply and looked ahead, where it was invisible to the naked eye.
That direction was completely blocked from view by the Daiki.
But with his Sensory Technique, he could clearly see the locations of those little guys.
They were walking slowly, waiting for the other two to advance.
Upon hearing the captain's words, he realized that he had been a Jonin who had followed the group for several years.
San Rika is quite familiar with its abilities.
She nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Captain!"
The dust kicked up by the collapsing earthen wall has settled and the area has been restored.
He nodded slightly and followed after them at a leisurely pace.
If these little guys want to escape, then he can buy his men some time and also destroy some of the Traps along the way.
To avoid having to use Wood Release escape after the battle.
He was capable and daring enough to chase, but his three subordinates lacked their own sensory abilities, so they would all perish if he chased them!
If all his men are gone, then he'll be all alone.
It's not necessarily possible to defeat the other side without paying any price!
This is also the fundamental reason why he has been holding back and waiting for his subordinates to act.
After walking only fifty meters, the ninja leading the way threw a kunai to the lower right.
The moment he threw it, he suddenly quickened his pace.
Seeing this, San Rika, who had been following behind, instinctively quickened her pace to match the captain's.
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh, boom-boom-boom~!"
Just as the two left their previous spot, a series of sounds, including the sound of a Senbon piercing the wood and an explosion, rang out.
The Traps was triggered by Nobe's Kunai, but unfortunately, they all hit thin air.
And so, the two continued their journey.
The ninja would occasionally throw out a hidden weapon or draw a 'Danger Here' sign on a passing tree.
I followed behind the captain, watching his actions.
San Rika couldn't help but feel admiration, envy, and lingering fear.
I admire the captain's abilities, and I also envy them.
Her next fear was the consequence she imagined if the captain wasn't good at sensing.
In a short distance of one kilometer, the captain threw nineteen Kunai and drew three secret signals on the Daiki.
One kilometer, twenty-one Traps!
The level of setup... she had to say it was utterly insane.
I have to say, they're damn rich!
She even had a feeling that they might capture him before he could set up Traps using Wood Release.
Wouldn't that mean the value of the loot would then match the bounty?
Nobe and the San Rika.
The three of them, including Uka Senju and a dog, led the two people behind them for more than a thousand meters.
The distance between them remained around four or five hundred meters.
With the help of Mole, Ninja Dog, and Tobirama's Sensory Technique, they figured out what happened next.
The commotion was quite loud, but unfortunately the enemy was unharmed.
Not a single Traps was triggered by the enemy!
This unexpected situation also made the three of them understand what the enemy Xueye and Chakra meant by their proficiency in sensory perception.
Just how skilled have they become?
Neither the light nor the dark ones are useful, nor are those inside the trees.
In other words, all that previous setup was a waste of resources.
All our efforts were in vain against that Elite Jonin!
Realizing this, all three of them frowned.
As they moved forward, time passed in perfect harmony behind them, while they constantly pondered their next move.
After a long while, they walked another 500 meters through the forest.
Seeing his two friends deep in thought, Uka Senju said in a deep voice, "Unless we call for reinforcements, our only option is to fight them head-on."
"Since we've entered this awkward situation, let's just go through with it!"
"We can't keep wasting those resources like this; we need to save some for when we lose and have to escape."
He had considered countless methods for those 500 meters.
Unfortunately, these methods were ineffective against strength and self-control.
He made this decision after hearing the sounds of Traps being triggered behind him.
Although they knew the teachers were nearby, watching the guards from locations unknown to them.
With just one call, the current situation can be immediately alleviated.
But the price of calling out is that one must return to the village and wait seven or eight years before being able to come out again.
Yes, not a lifetime, just seven or eight years!
Once the bloodline disperses, a new Wood Release will be created.
Then he still has a chance to get out.
But going back is easy; what about seven or eight years later...? Will I still have the desire to come out?
Or should we exchange the injection for my Aunt to get one too?
But that would expose the system!
He subconsciously rubbed the side of his index finger with his left thumb.
Having made his decision and offered his advice, he turned to look at his friends.
Upon hearing Uka's words, the two who had been frowning in thought immediately relaxed their brows and nodded in unison.
They are intelligent people, and they are aware of the current situation.
But whether to fight First Shinobi World War or call for reinforcements, that's a decision for Uka to make.
The consequences of calling for help are actually not a big deal for them.
It's just a change of teammates and a fresh start, but Uka will have to change her life!
As a member of the Shinobi Clan.
They didn't actually want to call out to anyone.
Because that would mean the trial had failed.
It also means that his close friends are saying goodbye to their Ninja life!
But... because they were good friends, they all left the decision-making power to Uka.
The First Shinobi World War went as planned, and so did the retreat!
