The roads on rainy days were full of mud, which had little impact on the ninjas, but if the carriages transporting supplies were marching at this time, it would become extremely troublesome.
There is a team advancing rapidly in the dense forest. The leader is a middle-aged man wearing a Konoha forehead protector and a green combat uniform.
Except for him, the entire team was composed of ninja dogs half as tall as a man. Each of these ninja dogs was strong and fierce-looking, and each carried a huge package on its back.
The team stopped at an intersection where the road forked. The leader of the black ninja dog lowered his head and sniffed a few times, and then murmured: "Rainy days are really annoying."
The heavy rain washed away all the smell, making it feel very uneasy.
Inuzuka Jaw looked back at the entire team of ninja dogs, and then found the secret mark left by his team on a tree at the fork in the road.
He said: "Humaru, if you work harder we will be there. Everyone is waiting for us to deliver the supplies."
Hearing this, Umaru shouted a few times to the ninja dog team behind him, and then said: "Let's go quickly."
Ninja dogs are not known for their endurance, and they are already very tired from long walks.
The team set off again, Inuzuka walked through the branches of trees at a high place, and his breath was mixed with various smells, mostly the smell of soil, dead branches, flowers and grass, which could only ensure that his field of vision was wide enough.
All the scenes around him flew by in front of his eyes, but Umaru, who was leading the way below, suddenly stepped into a trap. A large net instantly opened on the ground covered with rain and fallen leaves. Umaru reacted quickly.
, quickly accelerated to avoid it, but the companion behind it was not so lucky, the big net shrank and directly hoisted it up.
Inuzuka Jaw was shocked when he saw this, and threw a kunai to cut the net open.
The team of ninja dogs stopped instantly, gathered together and looked around with great vigilance. They tried their best to smell the smell in the air, but unfortunately they still couldn't detect anything abnormal.
Inuzukajichi did not go down to the ground, but stood on the branch of a tree and looked around.
I could only hear subtle noises coming from the bushes, but the enemy never showed up.
Finally, a horrified cry was heard, and a man dressed as an Iwa Ninja hurriedly escaped from the bushes. Before Inuzuka Jaw and the Ninja Dog could react, another figure followed closely behind him, holding a sharp blade and flew away in an instant.
Then he passed by and cut the throat of this Iwa ninja on the spot.
Inuzuka Jaw clearly saw the face of this person, a white-haired boy wearing a mask, holding a standard short sword in his hand, which was stained with blood and was quickly washed away by the rain.
He jumped down from the tree branch and came to Humaru's side.
"Isn't this the genius child?" Umaru said.
The son of the White Fang, a genius Jonin, a student with golden glitter, a foreigner with Sharingan... Kakashi carries various titles, and has a very high reputation on the front line and in the village, and is recognized by everyone.
Inuzuka Jaw did not answer these words, but spoke to the other party: "These Iwa ninjas seem to have eyes in the sky. They can even know our route. They are really haunted."
At this time, another blond man appeared suddenly, holding a kunai in his hand.
Inuzuka knew at a glance that the Iwa ninja team that had just ambushed in the dark had been eliminated by the man in front of him.
"Minato-sama." Inuzukajiu immediately saluted him respectfully.
Minato said: "A large number of Iwa ninja have infiltrated into our country, and many places are not safe now."
Inuzuka Jaw sighed: "The battle situation is becoming more and more difficult."
Minato glanced at the entire team of ninja dogs and said, "You guys have worked hard all the way."
Inuzuka Jaw shook his head and said: "For the sake of the village, there is no hard work. If you hadn't come to take care of me, this trip would have been a disaster."
Kakashi on the side took out some snacks from somewhere and put them in the palm of his hand to feed a ninja dog. He was not afraid of these fierce-looking dogs, but was very close to them.
He said calmly: "Rainy days have a great impact on the sense of smell of ninja dogs. You should not march at this time."
"Woof!" Humaru shouted without speaking human words.
Inuzuka Jaw understood the meaning, saying that Kakashi's tone was very unpleasant.
He just smiled and said, "That's what Kakashi said."
Minato said: "Supplies are the top priority, and I took the risk to take this trip because I was afraid of losing time."
"Thank you Minato-sama for your consideration."
"Let's go quickly. There are many wounded waiting for us. Kakashi, please take care of the bodies and then follow."
"good."
Minato, Inuzuka Juchi and the entire ninja dog team left first, leaving Kakashi alone to clean up the battlefield here.
He moved all the corpses to an open space, briefly searched it, replenished his ninja tools, and then found a flare gun and three projectiles of different colors.
Kakashi looked at the flare gun thoughtfully. The presence of the flare gun meant that there were still Iwa ninjas somewhere nearby!
On Minato and Inuzuka's side, they were not far away from their own camp. Seeing that the end of the dense forest was about to come ahead, Minato suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
He couldn't help but increase his speed, and when Inuzukajichi saw this, he couldn't help but say: "Minato-sama?"
"Jaw!" Umaru suddenly spoke to remind him.
Only then did Inuzuka Jaw discover that there were traces of battles in the surrounding forest.
One person and the ninja dogs finally arrived at the outskirts of the camp and found Minato standing motionless on the edge of the dense forest. The scene in front of them made Inuzuka's eyes widen.
The earth was cracked, blood flowed into rivers, and the bodies were mutilated. It was too horrible to see!
There are traces of being destroyed by ninjutsu everywhere, and the landscape has also been changed by large-scale earth escape.
Inuzuka Jaw's heart was shocked, followed by endless sadness and anger.
"Lord Minato." He turned around and saw Minato standing there expressionless and silent.
He had only been away for more than half an hour, and such a tragedy happened here, which meant that the enemy deliberately launched an attack after knowing that he had left.
It’s the mole again…
Konoha has already suffered countless setbacks because of this. Even if they no longer take the initiative to attack, the enemy can always grasp all their movements.
Minato really couldn't figure out who among those companions who shared life and death was the traitor.
The rain was still falling, drenching the two of them.
"These damn Iwa ninjas!" Inuzuka punched the tree trunk nearby with his fist.
At this time, a ninja dog barked, and Umaru ran over and discovered that there were marks left by Konoha ninjas on the tree trunk.
"It's a signal to evacuate," it said.
"It seems that everyone is still alive." Inuzuka said with a sigh of relief.
How much longer can I survive...
This place is a wounded barracks, and this battle is probably just a one-sided massacre.
Minato raised his head and took a deep breath, and said with no trace of emotion or anger: "It's time to evacuate to the nearest camp. Let's go. Let's meet with Kakashi first and then send you there."
