Chapter 56 The Root's Trap
Deep in the dark and cold forest, it was already around one o'clock in the morning, and Shiraishi and the other three were quickly heading towards their destination.
With the faint moonlight, you can see a large number of steel wires connected between the big trees, forming an airtight spider web, waiting for prey to fall into it.
It's not that I don't want to break in from a safe place, but this is the weakest point of attack.
Further ahead is the important supply point for the Sunagakure ninjas.
In other words, it is impossible to break in silently under any circumstances. In addition, in such an important place, there must be sentient ninjas responsible for monitoring, and the whereabouts of the three of them may have been exposed.
Cutting off the spider web made of steel wire, kunai and shurikens shot down from the dark sky were densely packed. Some kunai had detonating charms attached to their handles, and the corners burned.
Boom!
Boom!
The endless bombardment causes people's eardrums to hurt.
The earth trembled, and the surrounding trees quickly burst into flames, swallowing up the tranquility of the night.
However, this also proves that the front is an important supply point for Sand Hidden Village. Otherwise, there would not be such a thorough defensive trap. Even if you observe it with Byakugan in advance, you can't avoid it without any movement, you can only forcefully break in.
"Here we come, eleven people from the west, nine from the south, and seventeen from the back."
Ayane observed with her white eyes the number of ninjas who came to stop them from breaking into the defensive position, a total of thirty-seven.
Among them, most are chuunin, and there are a few jounin mixed in, who are the leaders.
"Start taking the antidote."
After Baishi finished speaking, he swallowed the white pill into his mouth first.
Ruri and Ayane also followed the instructions and took the antidote.
Shiraishi then took out two smoke bombs from his ninja tool bag and exploded them in the flames of the forest. For a moment, the sky was filled with gray smoke. Even though it was useless to the sensing ninja, it could be used to hinder the other ninjas and plunge them into chaos.
.
"Damn it, this smoke is extremely poisonous! Get out of here quickly!"
The well-trained Sunagakure ninja broke into the smoke-filled area and immediately noticed something was wrong. Their bodies began to become weak and weak. A painful feeling of suffocation made them dizzy. Some ninjas with low poison resistance were directly
He fell to the ground, his body twitching in pain.
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"
Liuli quickly formed seals with her hands, accumulating chakra in her mouth that was far larger than the Hao Fireball Technique, and released it all in one breath.
The waves of fire rising into the sky overwhelmed the woods in front of them with overwhelming force.
In the scorching light of the fire, the night was rendered as red as blood.
The originally cold air rose sharply, making people within the flames feel like their bodies were immersed in boiling water, and their skin became extremely hot.
Three small figures rushed forward like lightning. I believe these greetings, the Sunagakure ninja at the supply point may not be able to sit still anymore.
Liuli's Fire Escape has a very large range, and there are flammable trees everywhere. Using Wind Escape will intensify the fire and make it burn even more intensely.
These fires can only be extinguished by water escape, and water escape is the escape technique that Sunagakure ninjas are least good at. Moreover, such a huge sea of fire has been completely dispersed and has spread over a wide range, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary fire escape techniques.
If you want to use water escape to put it out, you can't do it in a short while.
Since they only have ten minutes to act, it seems that the feint attack plan has worked. However, Shiraishi and the others cannot guarantee how much attention they can attract the Sunagakure ninjas. They can only try their best to complete the task.
After ten minutes, no matter whether the mission is successful or not, you must leave the battlefield.
In the forest filled with flames, shrill and painful screams could be heard constantly. The battle between the Sunagakure troops who met Shiraishi and the others was over in the blink of an eye.
Shiraishi played with the kunai in his hand and passed by a Sunagakure ninja who rushed up. The kunai cut off his carotid artery, killing him on the spot.
"Bagua·Empty Palm!"
boom!
Ayane swung out her palm and fired a chakra shock wave similar to an air cannon, hitting the Sunagakure ninja who wanted to sneak attack from behind. The opponent flew backwards while vomiting blood and broke a tree.
This is a special long-range physical technique derived from the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. The move is invisible and colorless. It is almost impossible to tell where the attack lands with the naked eye. If you are not a perceptive ninja, it will be difficult to avoid this move.
This long-range attack move was a reward given to Ayane in the last mission.
The Hokage negotiated with the elders of the Hyuga clan. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of Sakumo's team, it was hoped that the Hyuga clan could teach Ayane, a member of the branch family, more secret techniques of soft fist.
Bagua·Kongzhang is one of them.
For this plan to attack the Sunagakure supply point, Shiraishi and Ayane will be in charge of the outside. Liuli only needs to accumulate chakra, continuously release fire escape ninjutsu to increase the scale of destruction, and attract all the attention of the Sunagakure ninja. Okay.
Open a gap for the ANBU people to attack the local supply point.
The huge fire wave spread out again, the scorching heat, the rolling tongues of fire, and the cold air of the forest were swept away.
Looking around, there are traces of raging flames everywhere.
The price paid was also high. Due to the continuous use of high-level fire escape ninjutsu, the chakra in Liuli's body was rapidly depleted. It is estimated that if he uses such high-level fire escape ninjutsu a few more times, the chakra will bottom out.
Liuli stopped when he saw that the commotion here had almost reached its peak, and he still needed to move forward some distance to further expand the scope of the commotion.
As we continue to go deeper into the hinterland of the Sunagakure ninja, there is a stream in front of the supply point. On the opposite side of the stream, there are a large number of tents stationed, surrounded by tall trees that can be used to shelter the camp.
A fire broke out in the forest opposite, which had already alerted the Sunagakure ninjas here. Under the effective command of the Jonin, the formation of the Sunagakure ninjas who were waiting here was not chaotic at all, and they were not worried because of the enemy's ferocious attack.
"Are they the ninjas of Konoha? Why did they come to attack here? Did they discover the secret weapon here?"
One of the Sunagakure jounin frowned.
"If this is the case, things are not going well. You know, the situation of the Jinchuuriki is not going well right now."
"No matter what, the use of tailed beast weapons must not be leaked in advance, and Konoha must be caught off guard!"
The eyes of many Sunagakure jounin were filled with murderous intent, and they were determined to eliminate every invading Konoha ninja.
On the other side of the river, Ayane's body suddenly trembled and stopped.
Seeing Ayane stop, Shiraishi and Ruri also stopped.
"What's wrong?"
As the eyes of the entire team, without Ayane's Byakugan, Shiraishi and Ruri could only fly around like headless flies here.
"Something's wrong. There is no warehouse for storing supplies here. This is not a Sunagakure supply point at all!"
Ayane's face turned pale as she realized the seriousness of the matter.
Sakumo told them that the main purpose of this mission was to cut off the Sunagakure supply point, and they needed to cooperate with ANBU.
Even though it was a ninja who called himself "Gen", he was also a branch of ANBU. In addition, they were very familiar with this mission, so the three of them believed it to be true.
However, now Ayane scanned the hinterland of this 'supply point' with her Byakugan, and found no warehouse used to store supplies, only a large number of Sunagakure ninjas closely guarding it.
Apart from that, there is nothing.
Regardless of the fact that this place was occupied by Sunagakure ninjas, it was not a supply point, Ayane could conclude.
After hearing Ayane's words, Shiraishi and Liuli's expressions also changed.
I was deceived! This idea came to my mind instantly.
"Walk!"
Not daring to pause at all, Shiraishi was the first to react, regardless of the fact that he was performing a mission. There must be an explanation for this kind of thing.
If the mission failed due to lack of ability, Shiraishi would have nothing to refute.
But the information provided was wrong, and the mission was full of disguise and deception, so there was no need to persist.
The three people quickly set off to retreat. However, at this time, the Sunagakure ninjas had already deployed personnel around them, forming a large and airtight net to surround the Shiraishi three people.
…
On the top of the cliff in the distance, four ANBU "root" ninjas stood or sat, with the full moon behind them as the background, looking down at the commotion and fire in the forest indifferently.
"The three of them are quite capable. No wonder Danzo-sama wants to get rid of this Uchiha genius and let her grow up. It is really too dangerous."
"In the final analysis, Uchiha guys are just not trustworthy. It's a pity for Byakugan and that medical ninja."
"There is no way, but if we can destroy the evil Uchiha ninja, the two of them will be considered worthy of death."
"In this way, Konoha White Fang will have to bear the reputation of being an incompetent boss who cannot protect his subordinates. The next Hokage must be Danzo-sama. Only Danzo-sama can put Konoha on a stronger path."
The four of them communicated word by word, believing in the 'Danzo-sama' they spoke of with fanaticism.
Originally, according to the plan, they were supposed to start a suicide raid on the Sunagakure camp from here, but now they are just watching here as bystanders, completely ignoring the fact that the ninjas in their own village are surrounded by the enemy and remain indifferent.
"Are you leaving now? There doesn't seem to be much to see."
"Wait a minute, although I don't believe they have the ability to break out, but just in case, if they are lucky enough to have someone escape, we will go up and deal with the survivors. We can't leave any clues, and Danzo-sama gave it to us.
Chapter completed!
