The distance of about 50km is not that far for a ninja.
But in the meantime, you need to prevent being discovered by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village, and clear some traps set by the opponent. This is the main waste of time.
When Nara Yoshioka heard Hinata Kazuo's words, he thought about it slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Now, without even thinking, one can guess that there must be ninjas from Kirigakure Village stationed near the Wave Country Bridge.
In other words, the possibility of approaching the Wave Country Bridge without the other party noticing is extremely low.
"From what it looks like, the only option is to attack by force?"
Nara Yoshioka went to do some searching and murmured softly to himself.
Nara Yoshioka's voice was not loud, but Hinata Kazuo on the side could still hear him.
"It is not a good idea to attack by force."
Hinata Kazuo's face was full of solemn expression, and there was no surprise.
They themselves are a Konoha force stationed on the border of the Land of Fire.
This is why they were able to get here as soon as the Mist Ninja entered the Land of Waves.
However, compared to the Mist Ninjas, their current manpower is somewhat insufficient. As for the troops in the village, it is still unclear when they will arrive.
The people of Kirigakure Village had already occupied the Country of Waves and started building positions, so they didn't have much time to waste and could only destroy the bridges of the Country of Waves as quickly as possible.
Nara Yoshioka sighed softly. The current situation is indeed a bit unfavorable for Konoha, but it is not too bad.
Based on the information received.
Among the strong men sent by Kirigakure Village this time, it seems that only one of the members of the Seven Swordsmen, Momochi Zabuza.
As long as we find a way to hold Momochi Zabuza back, there is still a great possibility of destroying the bridge to the Land of Waves after luring away some of the Kiri ninjas.
Think of this.
Nara Yoshioka raised his head and looked at the sky, thinking silently in his mind.
"Reduce the traveling speed and we will conduct a strong attack at night."
Nara Yoshioka turned his head to look at Hinata Kazuo beside him, and said seriously.
Hinata Kazuo did not hesitate and nodded gently. The Nara clan already held the position of military advisor in Konoha.
And given the current situation, this is the only way. There is no need for Hinata Kazuo to refute Nara Yoshioka.
After the two Jonin reached a consensus, the speed of the entire Konoha army quickly slowed down.
While recovering their own physical strength, the Konoha ninjas carefully cleared the traps around them and approached the Wave Country Bridge at a slow speed.
Thanks to the many trees in the Fire Country, they are all big trees in the sky.
Konoha's troops can use the woods to hide themselves, and with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, they can observe Kirigakure's patrolling ninjas in advance.
Therefore, there is no chance that their Konoha troops will be discovered in a short time.
While all the Konoha ninjas were waiting in silence.
It’s night time in a blink of an eye!
The Konoha ninjas who were squatting on the thick branches stood up immediately.
"action!"
Hinata Kazuo opened his Byakugan, led about ten Konoha ninjas, and took the lead in moving.
Nara Yoshioka and the remaining ten or so Konoha ninjas were still standing on the big tree, waiting silently.
The mission of Hinata Kazuo and others is to first attract the attention of the Kirigakure Village ninjas, and then lure away some of the Kirigakure ninjas.
now.
A Sensing Mist ninja around the Wave Country Bridge suddenly opened his eyes, then stood up and shouted:
"Enemy attack!"
Whizzing!
Dozens of mist ninjas appeared from the shadows, blocking directly in front of the Wave Country Bridge.
"There are about ten people in total. We don't rule out that there are hidden Konoha ninjas. Be alert!"
Sensing Kirigakure's appearance at the forefront, he closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment before speaking loudly.
At the same time, several Kirigakure jounin also appeared at the front, with relaxed expressions on their faces.
"Only ten people? It's not enough for us."
"Have the people from Konoha finally arrived?"
"I'm so lucky to be on duty today!"
"…………"
A man named Kirigakure looked into the dark forest in the distance with an excited look on his face.
I originally thought that nothing would happen tonight, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.
"There are violent chakra fluctuations, at the three o'clock position!"
The Sensing Mist Ninja spoke again, and at this time he directly determined the specific location of the Konoha Ninja.
As soon as I sense Kirigakure’s words!
Boom!
A dull sound exploded on the ground, and then countless earth spikes shot up from the ground and rushed towards the fog ninja present.
Seeing this scene, Kirigakure who was present quickly dodged away, and at the same time rushed towards the direction that the ninja had just sensed, the direction of the jungle.
But at the moment Kirigakure was about to approach the forest, kunai with detonating talismans quickly came from the air.
"Water Escape—Water Rapids!"
"Water Escape—Water Rapids!"
"Water Escape—Water Rapids!"
Several fog ninjas used the same ninjutsu at the same time to spray out a thick stream of water from their mouths, which merged together in the air and blocked all the detonating symbols flying in mid-air.
Boom! Boom!
Huge explosions collided with the rain in the air, like a heavy rain.
With the help of this explosion, the people of Konoha temporarily stopped the advance of the Mist Ninja.
In the dense forest.
Seeing this scene, Hinata Kazuo showed a smile on his face: "What a great opportunity, all the ninjas who can use lightning escape will come forward!"
The three Konoha ninjas quickly walked out from the crowd, and at the same time they formed a seal to release the Thunder Release against the rain just now.
Under the blessing of the rain, thunder and lightning quickly spread in the water flow. Several Kirigakure who did not react quickly were numbed by the electric current on the spot and fell to the ground.
"The opponent has thunder escape ninjas, use other ninjutsu, and find someone to drag the wounded back."
A Kirigakure jounin who had dodged long ago glanced at the genin who was stunned and fell to the ground, frowned and spoke quickly.
"What do you brats think war is?"
"This is not a game you play in ninja school!"
"Even if we have the advantage now, we must remain cautious and careful. No one will save you on the battlefield next time."
The Kirigakure jounin reminded in a cold voice.
If it weren't for the small number of people on the Konoha side, and the Konoha group, it seemed that they just wanted to hold them back.
Otherwise, these many genin who were stunned and lying on the ground just now would be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered without any resistance.
If the opponent throws a kunai at random, it can kill all of them lying on the ground.
At this time, a Chuunin from Kirigakure appeared beside this Jonin.
"Sir, those brats don't have any fatal injuries. They should be able to recover after lying down for a few days."
The chuunin lowered his head and spoke respectfully in a low voice.
Kirigakure Jōnin nodded slightly. Although he spoke in an extremely cold tone just now, he also cared about these genin in his heart.
After all, these genin are Kirigakure's hope for the future.
After knowing that there was nothing wrong with them, the Kirigakure Jonin raised his head and looked forward.
"Attack! Don't let this Konoha force escape alone."
The Kirigakure jounin exuded murderous intent and spoke in an extremely cold voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a famous Mist ninja quickly dispersed and rushed towards the direction of the Konoha troops in the forest.
