At the northeastern border of the Fire Country, the fighting is fierce.
In a snowy forest at the border with Yuno Country, the five or six remaining Konoha ninjas looked in a miserable state. Most of them had varying degrees of injuries on their bodies, but they still remained calm and fought and retreated.
With.
Behind these few people were large groups of cloud ninjas, hotly pursuing them.
boom.
Boom.
A large group of Kumogakure ninjas shuttled between the branches of the snow forest, and suddenly two bursts of flames erupted in succession. There is no doubt that this is the most common effect caused by the detonation of detonating talismans.
Amidst the loud noise, several cloud ninjas who touched the detonating talisman trap were instantly covered in blood and fell down.
Next to them, the cloud ninjas who were closer couldn't help but look a little more solemn after seeing the tragic scene of their companions. At the same time, the pace of pursuit involuntarily slowed down, and they became even more fierce during the pursuit.
Be cautious, afraid of following in their footsteps.
After realizing that the pursuing Kumo ninja had slowed down slightly, the remaining Konoha ninjas who retreated in front also felt vaguely relieved.
"Damn it, I didn't expect these guys from Konoha to have set up so many traps in advance."
Among the vanguard of Yun Ninja, a man with a strong body and dark skin glanced at the enemy figure who was slightly farther away in front of him, and couldn't help but curse.
As the vanguard captain, he had felt something strange since the raid on the northeastern border of the Land of Fire began. Because the members of the Konoha ninja team stationed at the border they encountered had not yet sneaked into the border of the Land of Fire.
When the warning range is reached, the sensing ninja can detect it in advance.
After a brief exchange between the two sides, he soon realized that the number of Konoha ninjas stationed at the border exceeded the regular establishment, and their strength seemed to be stronger than that of ordinary border ninjas.
And these are not the most important. The most important thing is that in the snow forest at the junction of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Tang, a large number of traps such as detonating talismans and other traps have been specially set up in advance. The existence of these traps greatly delays the journey.
Slowing down their speed of action, one cannot help but wonder whether Kumogakure's plan to raid the Land of Fire and wage an undeclared war on Konoha was leaked.
Could it be that the long-planned strategic move by the top brass has actually been seen through by Konoha?
No, this is impossible!
The vanguard captain of the Cloud Ninja quickly abandoned this absurd idea, and then as he moved forward, his sensitivity in searching for nearby traps suddenly increased a little.
Before starting this attack on the Country of Fire, he knew the inside of Yunyin Village and secretly started preparations and personnel mobilization very early.
In particular, the operation to seal Yunyin Village tightly and hunt down spies was almost the most intensive in history.
Just from the rumors he heard, more than a dozen spies lurking in other major villages have been identified. Therefore, in his mind, such a strict information blockade can still allow the village's combat intentions to be leaked.
Going out is basically impossible.
That's right, Konoha just raised its vigilance as a precaution because of the war in the Land of Grass.
The vanguard captain of the Cloud Ninjas was thinking this subconsciously at this moment.
On the other side, the Konoha ninjas who were being chased ahead were actually not as relaxed as they seemed on the surface.
The massive traps in the snow forest on the border were indeed laid out by them in advance, but this could only slightly delay the invasion of the Cloud Ninja vanguard troops. By knowing the location of each trap, they were able to make the Cloud Ninjas unable to do so for a while.
To catch up, but continuing like this is not a long-term solution after all.
After all, it won’t be long before this trap area is crossed, and no matter how big the snow forest at this border is, there is an end...
"Captain Linjiao, we are about to pass through the trap area."
Among the Konoha ninjas, a border guard ninja who was holding his injured and bleeding arm and struggling to keep up with the others looked ahead and reminded him anxiously.
He is the only surviving border garrison among the people in Konoha, and all his chunin subordinates were all killed in the battle not long ago.
The reason why he was able to evacuate here with Linjiao and the others all the way is because he has the strength of a Jonin. Moreover, a few days ago, the ANBU ninjas around him who were suddenly dispatched to the border to perform reinforcement defense and security tasks were also there.
In the previous evacuation battle, we tried our best to protect him.
Originally, a squad of ANBU members led by Linjiao suddenly arrived at the northeastern border a few days ago, and the border guard captain didn't take it seriously at first.
He thought that they were ordered by the Hokage as an excuse to check the performance of their border garrison. However, under the guidance of Kirijiao, he set up a large number of traps and increased the warning range. After this series of actions, he
Gradually it became clear that maybe there was going to be a war on the northeastern border.
Sure enough, this morning, a large number of Kumogakure ninja troops suddenly appeared from the direction of Yuno Country and invaded directly.
They first immediately sent urgent information to Konoha, and then retreated here while fighting.
Linjiao's outfit today is not an ANBU outfit. Together with the three members of the ANBU squad beside him, they all wear Konoha forehead protectors and tactical vests. They use this most common Konoha ninja combat attire to blend in with the border guard ninjas.
middle.
It was also for this reason that the vanguard captain of the Cloud Ninja troops was surprised by their combat prowess.
Kirijaku had naturally noticed the Konoha border guard captain's reminder in advance. He first looked at the state of everyone at the moment, and then used sensory ninjutsu to detect the distance in front of him, and then responded calmly without changing his expression.
He said: "It doesn't matter, the order given to us by Lord Hokage is to do our best to delay the invasion of the Kumo ninja troops."
"After we exit this snow forest, we will set off the final trap and evacuate safely..."
After hearing this decision, Konoha's border guard captain breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the five, he was the most seriously injured. At this time, not only was there little chakra left, but even the ninja tools were basically exhausted. The only left hand that could still fight was undoubtedly unlikely to bring much harm to him.
Fighting ability.
So he was very afraid that Linjiao would decide to let everyone fight to the death to resist the cloud ninja troops, because this was definitely a mantis trying to defeat the enemy...
Who wants to die if he can live?
Fortunately, this middle-aged dark force captain with short brown hair, who treats others gently and has no murderous aura, made very rational and reasonable decisions.
Not long after, the eyes of several people finally opened up instantly.
Beyond the snow forest is a vast wilderness.
The people who were the first to leave the snow forest before Kumogakure's troops were familiar with the terrain quickly identified their direction and dispersed.
But only Linjiao jumped a few times and quickly landed at a place more than fifty meters away from the edge of the snow forest. He stood next to a specially marked snow stone. When he just confirmed that there was a reserved mark under his feet,
After taking the position, the Iwa Ninja troops on the opposite side finally followed.
"The trap area has passed. Quickly deal with these guys in front of you, and then target the southwest and attack Konoha!!"
The captain of the Kumo ninja vanguard force rushed out first. When he saw Kirikaku and the remaining surviving Konoha ninjas suddenly spread out and stood still, as if preparing to resist, he felt a little unconcerned.
He just shouted loudly to the cloud ninjas who were rushing out from behind.
While speaking, his footsteps did not stop, but he went straight towards Linjiao to kill.
Behind him, large swaths of cloud ninja appeared like locusts and rushed out of the snow forest one after another. Immediately, the sounds of yes resounded one after another. In this situation, facing the crushing momentum of the cloud ninja, there was only
Only those with strong psychological quality will not be overwhelmed by the momentum of so many ninjas rushing towards them at the same time.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and when he was already more than fifty meters away from him, Linjiao's calm eyes suddenly emitted a cold light, and then he roared and began to form seals:
"Come on, you bastards of Kumogakure, this is the last gift for you..."
At the same time that he started to form the seals, the other three Anbu also cooperated tacitly at the same time, turning their fingers flexibly.
Almost at the same moment, the four people who completed the seal clapped their palms on the snow and shouted in unison: "Fire Release: Explosive Flame Formation!!"
