Onoki used the Earth Release: Diting Technique to find the traces of the enemy who was spying on him, he didn't say anything and continued to use the Ninjutsu to lock on the enemy's footsteps.
After completely locking on the source of the sound, Onoki breathed a sigh of relief and continued to control the Chakra in his body to flow towards the big ear.
With the control of the Chakra in Onoki's hand, the huge earthen ear on the ground began to wriggle and deform, and soon it split into three normal sized ear models.
Onoki waved his hand, and a Rock Jonin wearing an animal mask stepped forward and bent down to pick up the three ear-shaped models made of earth and stone.
Since the Earth Release: Diting Technique can be used to detect the enemy, it can also be used to track the enemy.
These three normal sized ear models were split from the big ear, which is equivalent to a clone of the big ear. They can receive the sound of the big ear from a long distance, which makes it easier for the Rock Shinobi to send teams to encircle and track the enemy.
Onoki looked up and glanced at the mountain more than ten kilometers away, then he ordered, "There are three enemies, I guess they are the elite scouts of Wood Leaf, quickly send people to chase after them, don't let them escape!"
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama!"
The Rock Shinobi knelt on one knee and saluted Onoki, then he disappeared in front of Onoki's eyes, and with him, several other Rock Shinobi wearing various animal masks around the Tsuchikage's flag disappeared.
In order to ensure that the enemy who was spying on him was caught, Onoki sent a team of Rock Shinobi Anbu directly under his command.
After the Anbu team disappeared, Onoki's short body floated up again and continued the inspection of the camp. After a while, the Rock Shinobi around the Tsuchikage's flag disappeared behind Onoki.
After a long time, the Rock Shinobi's camp returned to silence, and the Tsuchikage's flag was still fluttering in the wind, making a loud noise, except for a huge earthen ear on the ground, there was no difference from before.
Something was not right. Three sets of footsteps could be clearly heard around the flag.
Although Onoki left, he still maintained his Ninjutsu, with the amount of Chakra he left in the earthen ear, it won't be easy for the enemy who was spying on him to escape from the Rock Shinobi's encirclement.
Coincidentally, taking advantage of the rare sunny day in the Land of Rain, Kato Mitsukaze was doing the same thing as Onoki. He was personally leading a team of Wood Leaf Shinobi along the northern defensive line of the Wood Leaf Shinobi, inspecting one by one.
Although the Rock Shinobi's under Onoki's under the strict order of Onoki's command, they didn't really do nothing.
Strictly speaking, he didn't want the Rock Shinobi's territory's Shinobi's territory ''s's before the Sand Shinobi' Shinobi's's's before ''s.
Even if in the eyes of the cunning Onoki, the Sand Village is only a superficial ally of the Rock Village, he will make sure that the Rock Shinobi on the frontline act as an ally and act as if they are ready to invade the Land of Fire at any time.
In terms of acting skills, Onoki, who is almost 50 years old, is not much worse than the young people in the ninja world. He doesn't have the simple and honest attitude of an ordinary Rock Shinobi. He will not let the barbarians in the desert know that the Rock Shinobi is slacking.
On the northern front, although most of the Rock Shinobi's forces were stationed on the border of the Rain and Fire Country, under the command of Onoki, the Rock Shinobi would occasionally launch some small-scale attacks on the Wood Leaf Shinobi's defensive line.
In short, under the command of Onoki, the Rock Village's army, although they didn't advance any further, they still put a lot of pressure on Konoha's Northern Front.
Kato Mitsukaze led the troops transferred from the western front to the northern front, and after arriving at the northern front, most of his energy was used to deal with the Rock Shinobi's attack and supervise the defensive work.
Onoki's superb acting skills may not have deceived their ally Sand Village, but he did deceive Kato Mitsukaze, at least when Kato Mitsukaze just took over the Northern Defensive Line, he was deceived.
Kato Mitsukaze's orders were to block the Rock Shinobi's forces outside the borders of the Land of Fire. After he stabilized the current defensive line of Wood Leaf, and after a period of fighting with the Rock Shinobi's forces, he faintly noticed that the Rock Shinobi's offensive seemed to be much weaker than before.
Although Kato Mitsukaze noticed that something was wrong, he wasn't a roundworm in Onoki's stomach, so he didn't know the specific reason why the Rock Shinobi's offensive became weaker.
However, the most important thing for him to do was to prepare his own defensive line to resist the invasion of the Rock Shinobi's forces.
As for Kato Mitsukaze's plan to counterattack the Rock Shinobi's position and once again drag the northern front to the border of the Rain Shinobi, he certainly won't give up easily.
But if he wants to counterattack the Rock Shinobi, it's better to have a good defense first.
For example, it's like ordinary people fighting with their fists, every time they retract their fists, it's to make it easier for them to attack the next time.
Kato Mitsukaze must first stabilize the current defensive line of Wood Leaf before talking about a counterattack plan, after all, behind him is the boundless and fertile plains of the Land of Fire.
There are countless ordinary people living in the plains, once the land is massacred, it will definitely cause a serious blow to Wood Leaf.
After the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War, Kato Mitsukaze is very clear about the life of ordinary people in the Land of Rain.
While patrolling the battlefield with his trusted team, Kato Mitsukaze was thinking a thousand times in his mind, thinking about all kinds of things in the Northern Front. At the same time, he sensed that a Konoha Shinobi behind his team was rushing towards his position.
Kato Mitsukaze recognized this Wood Leaf Shinobi, he's a Jonin from the Inuzuka Clan, he's older than himself, according to the seniority, his disciple Inuzuka Hana should call him uncle, he's one of the Shinobu Kiba who was transferred from the western front to support the northern front, and he's one of the people in charge of the Northern Reconnaissance Unit appointed by Kato Mitsukaze.
Slightly raising his straight eyebrows, Kato Mitsukaze stopped and waited for Inuzuka Hana's uncle, wondering if the Rock Shinobi has started to attack another part of the defensive line.
"Kato -sama! Urgent information from the Rock Shinobi! "
"Speak."
"Previously, it was suspected that the Third Tsuchikage Onoki personally came to the northern front, we just received a report from a team of elite scouts, the information has been confirmed!"
When Kato Mitsukaze heard Onoki's name, his face became serious and asked: "What about the scouts? Didn't they come with you? "
"No, the information was sent back by our ninja dogs using reverse summoning technique."
Inuzuka Hana's uncle said while handing a scroll to Kato Mitsukaze, and at the same time began to report in detail.
"Onoki … Super light weight rock technique, dust release …"
The image of a short and short-tempered old man with a large bulbous nose and the ability to fly appeared in Kato Mitsukaze's mind.
Kato Mitsukaze listened to his subordinate's report while looking at the scroll in his hand, the information about the Third Tsuchikage Onoki flashed in his mind, and he analyzed whether the weakening of the Rock Shinobi's attack was related to Onoki's arrival.
"Is it possible that the Rock Shinobi is about to launch a large-scale attack on the Wood Leaf defense line? Is that why Onoki personally came to the front line? "
Kato Mitsukaze's first reaction was that the Rock Shinobi's army was brewing a plan to attack the Wood Leaf defense line.
"… Our scouts, after confirming that Onoki was indeed in the Rock Shinobi's camp, they retreated immediately, and should be back soon. When they come back, I will arrange for them to personally report to Kato -sama."
Before Kato Mitsukaze could understand the reason why Onoki personally came to the front line, Inuzuka Hana's words interrupted his contemplation.
Kato Mitsukaze heard this and looked down at the scroll in his hand again.
"About a kilometer away from the Rock Shinobi's camp, with the help of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, I saw the figure of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki appear in the Rock Shinobi's camp …"
A line of detailed text entered Kato Mitsukaze's eyes, before his attention was focused on Onoki, but now his eyes were focused on the words "About a dozen kilometers away".
Kato Mitsukaze didn't know how far Onoki's perception of danger was, but considering his own situation, he felt that a dozen kilometers distance wasn't too far for a veteran Kage level powerhouse, especially one at the peak of his strength.
Pitter-patter, patter, patter …
This was the sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of the rain falling on the ground.
The weather of the Country of Rain was indeed fickle. Previously, it was still a cloudless, sunny day. Not long after, the pitter-patter of rain poured down from the sky.
In a dense forest, Konoha's three-man scout team, which had previously evacuated, was rushing quickly.
Aburame, who was at the back of the team, took advantage of the gap between running and reaching out her hand to wipe the rain from her hair, she looked up at the rain in front of her and estimated the distance between her team and the Wood Leaf defense line in front of her.
Aburame's team of three was being chased by the Rock Shinobi's assassination team. In fact, not long after the three of them evacuated from the hiding place, they were bitten by the Rock Shinobi.
Hyuga Kenmu was carrying Inuzuka Taro in the front, and Aburame was at the back, because his combat partner Ninja Dog was not by his side, Inuzuka Taro's combat effectiveness was reduced by half, and he was seriously injured in the previous pursuit.
Aburame's team had been running for some time, and no matter how they changed their escape route, they couldn't get rid of the enemy behind them.
How the team's position was exposed, Aburame didn't know, he only knew that they were about to be caught by the enemy.
"The enemy is catching up, we can't get rid of them!"
Aburame raised her hand to wipe the rain from her face and shouted at her two teammates in front.
Fortunately, the sunglasses she was wearing now were specially made waterproof, and the rain didn't affect her vision.
"Huhu … How far is the enemy behind us?"
Captain Hyuga Kenmu, because he was carrying his teammate Inuzuka Taro, his voice sounded a little breathless.
Aburame didn't answer, instead, while running, he made a complicated hand seal with both hands, trying to mobilize the Chakra in his body as much as possible while running at high speed. He was sensing the parasites he left behind on the way back.
On the way back, Aburame would leave some special parasites from time to time, those were the eyes he left behind.
After a while, Aburame confirmed the accurate distance of the enemy behind them and said: "Less than a kilometer."
Pitter-patter … Splash.
Hyuga Kenmu, who was carrying Inuzuka Taro, stopped in a relatively open place, stepping on a puddle of rainwater, splashing everywhere.
At the end of the team, Aburame Leisurely followed her teammates and stopped running. She took out two Soldier Food Pills from her Ninja Tool Bag, swallowed one herself, and gave the other to Captain Hyuga Kenmu, then asked:
"Do you want to change the direction of retreat?"
"It's useless, although I don't know how the Rock Village located our position, we have changed so many directions along the way, but we still can't get rid of them … One, two, three …"
At this time, Hyuga Kenmu's face changed back to the ferocious appearance of the bulging veins, he was counting the number of enemies behind him.
"Six, seven … Including the two who were killed and injured by us, a total of nine Anbu elites of the Rock Village, they really saw our team of three."
After determining the specific number of pursuers behind them, Captain Hyuga Kenmu's heart sank, he knew that this time his team won't be kind.
In fact, the three of them are now dead.
After a while, Captain Hyuga Kenmu issued an order.
"Get ready to fight, this place is not too far from our Wood Leaf's defense line, the distress signal has already been sent out, we should try our best to hold them back, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope …"
In fact, there is no glimmer of hope, there is more than twice the number gap, and there is also a seriously injured member of the Wood Leaf Scout Team, once they are caught by the Rock Village's Anbu, they will be dead.
"Give me an explosive tag," the seriously injured Inuzuka Taro said weakly, "It's a pity that my ninja dog is not with me, but fortunately it is not with me …"
Inuzuka Taro did not say anything like asking his teammates to abandon him and run away by themselves. He knew that it would be useless even if he said that. Just like he knew that if the other two were the ones who were injured, he would not leave his teammates behind so easily.
Leisurely Aburame, who was wearing sunglasses, heard her teammate's words and didn't answer. She took out her Ninja Tool Bag from behind her and took out all the Explosive Tags inside. She originally took out one, but after thinking about it, she took out two more.
The Aburame was prepared for himself and Captain Hyuga Kenmu. The three of them are the elites of the family with their family's secret Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai. If they are captured by the enemy or their bodies are obtained by the enemy, their family's secret Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai will be exposed.
This is the consequence that their respective families can't afford, it is better to use the explosive tags to blow themselves up, maybe they can take one of the Rock Village's Anbu with them before they die.
After distributing the Explosive Tags, the three of them found a relatively dry place to rest under a big tree. The three of them didn't speak again. They silently accumulated their strength and prepared for the next battle. It may also be the last ninja battle in their lives.
