Due to the incident where an elite team of Sand Ninja sneaked into the Forest of Death and wiped out all genin teams except for Seeli's team.
Xili, Izumi, and Kabuto Yakushi went home after their second exam.
The examiner of the second exam, Anko Mitarashi, led a team to search the forest of death, hoping to find survivors except the three people from Seeli.
Even if no living person is found, the body must be buried.
…
At the end of the commercial street, there is a dessert shop.
Too many outsiders came to the organizer's Konoha Village for the Chunin Exams, and the village was a mixed bag. Seeli was worried about leaving Izumi alone, so he sent her to a dessert shop before leaving.
It's half past one in the afternoon, but the commercial street is very deserted.
There was a chilling atmosphere in the air.
Before Xili could take two steps, he was blocked by a group of ANBU wearing animal masks. The leader was a dwarf who turned out to be Itachi Uchiha.
Even with the mask on, he could tell at a glance.
"Is something wrong?"
"Anbu summoning order."
…
Under the Hokage Building, ANBU base.
Ten ANBU teams have been assembled.
Each ANBU team led three ANBU candidate teams, divided into ten routes, and carried out a carpet search all the way to the Kingdom of Wind.
Each route is one kilometer apart.
The distance is neither too far nor too close.
Even if Konoha ninjas on a certain route encounter Suna ninja advisor Chiyo and his party, they can receive immediate support from the ANBU team next to them.
This time, the Third Hokage was determined to kill Chiyo.
Even Tsunade, who organized the expansion of the medical department in the hospital, was sent out, ready to confront Chiyo at any time.
Tsunade does not need to fight head-on, she only needs to deal with Chiyo's poison.
There are forty ANBU teams and ANBU alternate teams in total. The leader is Kakashi Hatake. In addition, he has another mission.
That was the three brigades that arrived at the border of the Land of Wind after taking care of Chiyo, and collaborated with Danzo to annihilate Sunagakure Village.
Even if we can't annihilate the Suna ninja, we still have to keep the thousand-man puppet army in Sunagakure Village.
The puppet army is the trump card of Sunagakure Village.
The combat strength of a large group is a thousand people. If they are lost at the border of the Kingdom of Wind, it will cause the Sunagakure Village to feel pain for a while.
Xili's team took the middle route of the Kawa Country route, and was referred to as Team 5 for short.
The leader of the team is also the leader of the entire formation, Kakashi Hatake.
Uchiha Itachi is an official ANBU member, and the other two are unknown to Seeli.
Among the three ANBU candidate teams, Xili recognized Uzuki Xiyan with long purple hair, but he did not recognize the others.
In addition to these four teams, there is also a special team.
That was Tsunade's medical team, also a full team of four, all of whom were Konoha's top medical ninjas.
In other words, their team is composed of five teams, with a total of twenty people.
Even if they meet Chiyo and others, they can confront them head-on.
Seeing this lineup, Xili understood that Sandai was determined to kill the old woman Chiyo, and he naturally supported it with both hands.
After all, the other party was the first to trick him.
"The mission this time is to hunt down Chiyo and other sand ninjas. It is considered as one of the results of the ANBU assessment."
"Chiyo, consultant of Sunagakure Village in the Kingdom of Wind, a top-notch puppet master, good at using poison."
"There is no doubt about its strength."
"In addition, there are three sand ninjas accompanying us, one jounin, Maji, who is good at wind escape; two chunin, whose specific abilities are unknown, and they may be jounin disguised as chunin."
Kakashi stood at a high place and said sonorously.
There were hundreds of people below, and the place was dark and silent.
Assassination Tactics Special Forces!
The elite ninjas among the elite ninjas of Konoha Village, even if placed in the five major countries, are absolutely elite troops that can rank one or two.
Regardless of the combat effectiveness.
In terms of style, it’s absolutely perfect!
"The captains of each team are directly responsible for specific actions. Do you have any questions?"
After briefly introducing the information about Chiyo's team, Kakashi glanced at everyone.
For a while, the square was still silent.
"Go on the assigned route!"
As soon as these words came out.
Swish swish swish!!
Hundreds of Anbu (Anbu candidates) disappeared in an instant, and Seeli followed Kakashi and others out of the Anbu base.
…
There are three routes to choose from from the Kingdom of Fire to the Kingdom of Wind.
There are two land routes and one sea route.
The first land route is to go west to enter the Kingdom of Rain, and then turn south to enter the Kingdom of Wind; the second land route is to go southwest to enter the Kingdom of Sichuan, and then cross the Kingdom of Sichuan to enter the Kingdom of Wind.
The sea route means heading south into the South China Sea, taking a boat out to sea, and heading west to land in the Kingdom of Wind.
The closest and safest route is naturally to take a straight line, crossing the country of Sichuan and entering the country of wind. There are no shinobi villages in the country of Sichuan.
But the other two routes are not ruled out.
So Kakashi divided the ten ANBU teams into three parts.
On the 1st, 23rd and 3rd, three ANBU teams took nine ANBU candidate teams along the route of the Country of Rain, and finally met Danzo at the border of the Country of Wind.
On the 890th, three ANBU teams took nine ANBU candidate teams by sea and also met Danzo at the border of the Land of Wind.
The four ANBU teams No. 4567 in the middle led the remaining twelve ANBU candidate teams, as well as Tsunade's medical team, to take the Kawa no Kuni route.
…
The Fire Nation is heading southwest.
In the dense forest, a group of sand ninjas wearing large cloaks and turbans walked quickly through.
"All the clones that escaped towards the Land of Rain were eliminated and were attacked by Konoha ANBU, at least three ANBU teams."
Suddenly, one of the Sand Ninja whispered.
Before he finished speaking, another Sand Ninja spoke.
"The clones that lured the enemy by sea have also been eliminated, no less than twenty Konoha ninjas."
Everyone's hearts jumped when they heard this.
What is Konoha doing?
How many people were sent to chase them? Several waves of clones were created to lure the enemy. How long did it take before they were all killed?
"Chiyo-sama, we"
Maki's face looked a little ugly. There were Konoha ANBU chasing them both along the Rain Country route and the sea route, so there would definitely be no shortage of them along the way.
"Don't worry about how many there are, just speed up and arrive at the border of the Kingdom of Wind to meet up with Feng Ying. We will be safe."
A solemn look flashed across Chiyo's eyes.
The fact that Konoha Village sent so many people to hunt them down meant that their plan was probably exposed.
The main purpose of these people is definitely not them.
There are only four of them in total.
A shadow-level strongman with three or four ANBU can definitely destroy them.
And how many people did Konoha send?
I'm afraid there needs to be a squadron!
Chiyo has not yet contacted the troops at the border, and she feels very uneasy in her heart.
I always feel like something is going to happen.
Moreover, Shalan’s situation is not clear. I don’t know if the guy escaped.
"Hurry up and get to the Kingdom of Wind and then we can rest!"
Chakra exploded under Chiyo's feet, speeding up again!
