In the Land of Rice, there were endless plains and wheat fields everywhere, filled with an extremely peaceful and rich atmosphere. However, the thunder in the sky broke the peace of this land.
"Captain Takahashi, those four guys just passed by here, and there are still traces of Chakra in the air. Although we can't clearly capture their movements, they should have left not long ago." The brown-skinned Ninja whispered and reported to the captain next to him.
The three teams had a total of nine Cloud Ninjas, plus the three captains, a total of twelve people were standing on the path between the fields.
"Moriyama, Taguchi, should we catch up?" The sturdy Takahashi looked at his two companions. The three of them were all Jonins, and they were promoted at the same time, so they had a good relationship with each other.
"Don't look at the twelve of us, the other party dared to rob us. The team transporting the food had two Jonins and ten Chunins, but they still succeeded. Even if we catch up with them, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any benefits."
Moriyama's personality was relatively conservative, and he was rare among the Cloud Ninjas. Although he didn't say it out loud, the implication was that he didn't agree with catching up.
Takahashi looked at Moriyama and didn't say anything. Their relationship was very strong, and if Moriyama's words were heard by the other Cloud Ninjas, he would be laughed at as a coward.
"Taguchi, what do you think?" Takahashi looked at Taguchi who didn't speak. Taguchi was the smartest of the three, so he wanted to know his opinion.
"To be honest, this time I agree with Moriyama's opinion. The other party is very difficult to deal with. Four people dared to rob our transport team. Everyone was killed, some of the food was looted, and the rest was destroyed. This style isn't like ordinary wandering Ninjas."
Taguchi frowned, and his heart was quite tangled as he slowly said.
"So we just give up like this?" Takahashi was quite angry. The Cloud Ninjas were known for being good at attacking, so most of them had a violent temper. Takahashi was one of them. This time, the Cloud Ninjas suffered such a big loss, so he was full of anger.
However, this was only because of Moriyama and Taguchi. If it was someone else, Takahashi would've already been angry.
"Sigh, let's chase after them. If we let these thieves go like this, I'm afraid we won't have a good ending when we go back. The crime of being afraid of war is enough for us to suffer." After thinking for a while, Taguchi showed a helpless smile.
"After all, this isn't the usual time. This big move against the Country of Earth can be considered as a war."
Taguchi's words were mainly to explain to Moriyama. Takahashi, a militant, was eager to fight. Moriyama was silent. He just nodded and no longer objected.
"Youichiro, you lead the way and chase after those four bastards." Takahashi shouted, and Youichiro, the perceptual ninja behind him, immediately rushed forward, taking the lead and running away.
The twelve of them passed through the endless fields, their bodies flashing with blue lightning. Their speed was extremely fast, leaving behind streaks of blue light in the wheat fields.
A small hill. This place was already at the border of the Country of Earth. The hill was covered with dense forest. Even under the scorching sun, the forest gave people a gloomy feeling.
Under a towering tree, Aromatic Phosphorus, Tong, Natsume, and Keita were sitting on the exposed roots of the tree, eating dry rations to replenish their strength.
"Tong, what do you think the Cloud Ninjas are going to do? They are transporting so much food and supplies, and looking at the direction they are going, it seems they are going to go through the Country of Earth and go to the Country of Earth. "Natsume gnawed on a rice ball.
"It's very likely that they are going to the Country of Earth. The Ishiaki Clan's matter wasn't suppressed, and the news leaked quickly. Even if the Rock knew, it would be difficult for them to respond. Not only the Cloud Ninjas, but also Kiba and Sakura Shinobu." Huatani flicked her golden ponytail and looked at Keita Ishiaki with her golden eyes.
However, Keita Ishigaki was like a rock. He didn't waver at all because of Tong's words. He just kept eating rice balls. Ever since the start of the mission, he had been like this. He didn't say a word and only did his best to complete the mission. He didn't disobey Karin and Natsume's instructions.
"So it's like this! It doesn't feel interesting, but the Cloud Ninjas are really good at using Lightning Release. If they didn't protect the supplies, we wouldn't have been able to take their lives so easily. " Natsume recalled the previous battle and became a little excited. Because of the Cloud's supplies, the four of them acted as robbers.
Aromatic Phosphorus, who was eating a rice ball, was surprised. She didn't hesitate to throw away the rice ball in her hand and closed her eyes. "Kagura Mind's Eye."
His consciousness instantly spread out like a tide, like a big spider entrenched in the center of a spider web, covering the spider web in all directions. As long as there was even the slightest movement in the wind, he would be able to sense it.
"One, two, three … twelve, a total of twelve chakras are rapidly approaching us. Their speed is very fast, and their target is us. Prepare for battle, the enemy's speed is too fast, we won't be able to escape," Karin said very quickly, and her expression was very grave.
"According to this speed, the enemy is very likely to be the Cloud Ninjas. They are probably following the team that attacked us. As expected of one of the five great Ninja Villages, their reaction is not slow. Natsume, Tong, Keita, use the first set of combat plan. There are three Jonins on the opposite side, so let's deal with their minions first."
Aromatic Phosphorus opened her eyes and stood together with Tong. The two quietly stared at the forest in front of them, while Natsume and Keita quietly hid on the side.
"Water Release: Water Shockwave."
Aromatic Phosphorus shouted fiercely. Her hands were already forming a seal. Immediately, a mighty surge of water rolled up from her feet, forming a huge wave that rushed forward, directly breaking the trees along the way. Some of the trees with shallow roots were directly uprooted and rushed forward like a flash flood.
The blue figures were caught off guard as they crashed into the waves and were smashed into smithereens. Very quickly, the momentum of the waves subsided. At this moment, another series of lightning flashed. One figure after another ran on the surface of the water at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, kunai with explosive talismans wrapped around them shot out towards Karin and Tong.
"Water Release: Water Wall." Tong took a step forward and raised a circular wall of water with one hand, trapping her and Karin within. Her methods were very experienced.
In order to train Hualien and Hualien, Aoyama pulled a lot of curse seals from Orochi Maru's hands to test them and let them familiarize themselves with the battle as soon as possible. Now, it seems that the effect was not bad.
The Explosive Charms all crashed into the water wall. The explosion of flames failed to destroy the water wall and was swallowed up by the rolling waves. Both Karin and Tong were safe and sound.
"Be careful, there are two people hiding on the other side." Taguchi shouted, reminding the subordinates behind him. At the same time, he looked around vigilantly, guarding against Natsume and Keita who didn't appear.
