After hearing Kato Mitsukaze's order to attack, Hatsuki Shigeru didn't open his mouth to reply, instead, he pulled out his White Fang Dagger from the sheath on his back.
Hatsuki Shigeru gently wiped the edge of the White Fang Dagger with his finger, and then waved his hand to cut the curtain of rain in front of him. A white light flashed, and in the next moment, Hatsuki Shigeru's figure disappeared from the trunk of the tree, holding his White Fang Dagger as he rushed towards the logistics team in the middle of the road.
Hatsuki Shigeru's speed was very fast, but the White Fang Dagger in his hand was even faster. His target was the neck of a Chunin in front of the logistics team according to Kato Mitsukaze's order.
He didn't want to attack the Chunin as soon as he came up. Compared to the stronger Chunin, it would be easier to kill the Chunin with a single blow.
The ambush operation of the Special Operations Team was a sparrow fight, focusing on harassment and destruction. Hatsuki Shigeru played the role of a sharp knife in the team, causing chaos in the Rock Shinobi's team and playing a deterrent role.
Since he wanted to cause chaos, what better way than to take the life of a Chunin in an instant?
Bang!
A dazzling lightning flashed in the sky, and the rain seemed to have gotten heavier.
The unlucky Rock Chunin, who was chosen by Sakumo, heard the thunder and was about to look up at the sky. Suddenly, he felt as if lightning had struck his eyes, and a silvery white light flashed in front of his eyes. The last thing he saw was a headless figure wearing a straw cape.
Hatsuki Shigeru's sharp White Fang Dagger directly cut off the Chunin's head, and scarlet blood gushed out of the Chunin's neck like water from a broken dam.
After Hatsuki Shigeru succeeded, he didn't bother with the Chunin next to him, instead, he took full advantage of his speed and raised his White Fang Dagger and swept towards another Chunin next to him.
Every time Hatsuki Shigeru waved his White Fang Dagger, he either took the life of a Chunin or injured a Chunin. He didn't bother with the Chunin, he only targeted the Chunin and Genin. Every time he attacked, he didn't care about the result, and when he reappeared, he was already next to the next Chunin.
In short, Hatsuki Shigeru himself took advantage of his speed and superb Kenjutsu, just like the White Fang Dagger in his hand, he turned it into the sharpest blade and fiercely pierced the logistics team from front to back.
When Hatsuki Shigeru attacked, the other Wood ninjas hiding in the jungle were not idle, several Kunai tied tied with explosive tags flew from both sides of the road, and targeted's's directly aimed at the logistics team's's's.
"Enemy attack! It's the Wood Leaf ninjas! "
"Watch out for the explosive tags!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Supplies! Watch out for the supplies! "
…
The logistics team of the Rock Village wasn't mediocre, several of them reacted quickly and warned their companions before the explosion happened. However, this wasn't the first time for Konoha's Shinobis to do this kind of work, they were all veterans and were very skilled in it.
The timing was just right, the detonation time of the Explosive Tag was carefully calculated, there was not much time left for the Rock Village to rescue them. Either they were turned into ashes in the explosion along with the supplies, or they were forced to run far away to save their lives, there was no second option.
The harsh explosion sounded almost synchronized with the thunder in the sky, the difference was that the thunder in the sky only sounded once, but the explosion on the ground was a series of explosions.
Silver-white lightning casually wreaked havoc in the dark clouds, blooming the brightest side before returning to darkness. Dark red flames burned and jumped on the ground. After the initial series of explosions, the continuous burning was the main culprit that caused the greatest damage to the supplies.
Step, Step, Step.
After the explosion, a series of footsteps could be heard clearly amidst the pitter-patter of the rain.
The other Konoha Shinobi who were hiding on both sides of the road took advantage of the fact that the logistics team of the Rock Village was stunned by the sneak attack. They stepped on the puddles of rain and aimed at their respective targets.
Even if the number of Wood Leaf Special Operations Team was small, they were all elites specially selected by Kato Mitsukaze, it can be said that they were the best of the best on the northern front of Wood Leaf.
Their neat and uniform footsteps, and their imposing manner, they stepped on the ground like a thousand horses, not to mention that their mission is mainly to destroy and harass, killing people is just incidental. For these elite Jonins of Konoha, killing people is equivalent to lowering the difficulty level of the mission by one level.
As for why these Wood Leaf elite ninjas didn't worry about the problem of retreating, that wasn't something they should think about. Their leader, Kato Mitsukaze, was there, they believed that their leader would create an easy environment for them to retreat.
Just like during this period of time, they had done many similar attacks before.
Kato Mitsukaze certainly wouldn't disappoint the other Wood Leaf ninjas in the Special Operations Team. If Hatsuki Shigeru's role in the Special Operations Team was to break the enemy's sharp knife, then Kato Mitsukaze's role was to protect the safety of the Special Operations Team.
With Kato Mitsukaze in the Special Operations Team, the other Shinobu Kiba could cooperate with Hatsuki Shigeru to cause more damage and harass.
Hatsuki Shigeru's speed was very fast, but Kato Mitsukaze's speed wasn't any slower. When Hatsuki Shigeru took the head of the Rock Shinobi, Kato Mitsukaze's figure appeared at the rear of the Rock Shinobi's logistics team.
Compared to Hatsuki Shigeru's Kenjutsu, Kato Mitsukaze's killing method was more subtle, faster, and more efficient.
Under the support of Kato Mitsukaze's huge Chakra, several invisible wind blades and a large number of almost invisible wind blades swept through the entire logistics team from the back to the front, silently taking the lives of several Chunins.
After releasing the first wave of wind blades and wind blades, Kato Mitsukaze didn't waste his Chakra to attack the Chunins and Genins of the Rock Shinobi.
Again, killing the enemy wasn't the goal, destruction and harassment was the main purpose of Kato Mitsukaze's mission.
The Wood Leaf Special Operations Team that launched the attack was still a bit small compared to the huge logistics team of the Rock Shinobi, so his subordinates could let go of all scruples and wantonly kill and destroy. Kato Mitsukaze, as the leader of the Special Operations Team, was responsible for the other Wood Leaf Shinobi in the Special Operations Team.
After the first wave of attack, Kato Mitsukaze was already thinking about the issue of retreat. The light blue eyes on his forehead had already switched to the state of soul vision at the moment of the attack.
In the slightly dim soul vision, it seemed that all kinds of sounds were much smaller than usual. The sound of thunder, the sound of explosive charms, the sound of burning supplies, the sound of fighting, the sound of shouting, the sound of animals, the sound of wind, the sound of rain, and so on, all kinds of sounds passed through Kato Mitsukaze's ears, chaotic but clear.
The invisible soul fluctuations from the position where Kato Mitsukaze was standing quickly swept through the entire scene of the attack. The situation of the entire battlefield fell into the eyes of Kato Mitsukaze.
"Formation! Formation! "
The leader of the Rock Shinobi who was standing in the middle of the logistics team reacted at the moment when Hatsuki Shigeru launched the attack.
After all, as the leader of the logistics team, compared to the other subordinates, he knew that in addition to escorting supplies, his team was also acting as a bait.
Under the orders of the leader of the Rock Village, the other Rock Shinobis around him got over the initial panic and quickly gathered around him to form a defensive formation. This formation was the fastest to organize an effective counterattack in the entire Rock Village's logistics team.
The leader of the Rock Shinobi looked at the defensive formation around him and felt a little relieved. Just like Kato Mitsukaze knew that the number of people in the Special Operations Team was small, the leader of the Rock Shinobi also knew the situation.
As long as they can resist the initial wave of attacks from the Wood Leaf Shinobi, the Rock Shinobi will be invincible.
What's more, it's not like the Rock Shinobi didn't have any reinforcements. In order to catch this sneaky team of Wood Leaf Shinobi lurking behind their army, the Rock Shinobi used a lot of bait.
Thinking of the reinforcements, the leader of the Rock Shinobi looked at the Diting Ear in his hand. The signal was sent out when the Wood Leaf Shinobi launched the attack.
The bait was put down, the prey has already stepped into the trap, waiting for the hunter to appear.
The leader of the Rock Shinobi believed in the speed of his reinforcements. Now, the most important task for him is to delay the Wood Leaf Shinobi who attacked them. Since the prey has already stepped into the trap, it won't be easy to escape.
"Steady! Formation! Formation! "
"With the leader of each team as the center, gather together to defend against the attack of the Wood Leaf Shinobi!"
"They have fewer people! Hold them! "
"Don't panic! All we need to do is to slow down these Konoha ninjas! "
…
The leader of the Rock Shinobi issued a clear battle order, and the Rock Shinobi began to unite together to resist the attack of the Wood Leaf Shinobi.
As mentioned before, the number of the Wood Leaf Special Operations Team that launched the attack was indeed much smaller than the Rock Shinobi's logistics team. After the initial panic period, the Rock Shinobi began to gain a foothold under the organization of the Rock Shinobi.
Whoosh!
Hatsuki Shigeru's figure appeared behind a Rock Shinobi. Behind him, where the tip of the White Fang was pointed, the Rock Shinobi covered his neck with his hands, and his eyes were wide open.
Hatsuki Shigeru was preparing to pick the next unlucky Rock Shinobi, but as far as he could see, there was no one left. The Rock Shinobi gathered together and surrounded him.
The White Fang in Sakumo's hand has been sharp for a long time, but he wasn't a reckless man who only knows how to kill. He looked around, and after looking through the Rock Ninjas that surrounded him, he found that the other Ninjas of Konoha were in a similar predicament.
It's time to retreat!
Hatsuki Shigeru raised his hand and wiped the blood on his White Fang. He felt a little pity, this time the Rock Shinobi gathered together much faster than before. He felt a little pity that his White Fang didn't have enough time to drink the blood of the Rock Shinobi.
The Rock Shinobi's logistics team gathered together to form an effective resistance faster than before. Of course, Kato Mitsukaze, who was overseeing the overall situation, noticed this a long time ago. At this time, he was staring at the delicate model of the earthen ear in the hands of the leader of the Rock Shinobi.
Kato Mitsukaze has seen this thing before. When he rescued Hyuga Kenmu's scout team, he captured one and studied it for a while.
Although Kato Mitsukaze didn't fully understand the principle of this Ninjutsu, he could roughly guess the effect of the earthen model.
Rock Shinobi's reinforcements?
Then is this Rock Shinobi's reinforcements bait?
After discovering the earthen ear model, Kato Mitsukaze has already doubled the range of his Spiritual Sense, but he didn't find any reinforcements of the Rock Shinobi.
A barrier that can block Soul Detection? A Sealing Technique?
Tsk tsk, it looks like Onoki is determined to catch us this time, I don't know if Onoki himself is among the reinforcements.
Kato Mitsukaze used his Kunai to end the life of a Rock Shinobi who was rushing towards him, while at the same time, he was constantly thinking about the situation on the battlefield.
Although Kato Mitsukaze didn't know how many reinforcements there were, he wasn't very worried. The members of this Special Operations Team were carefully selected by him.
Needless to say, he and Hatsuki Shigeru have already stepped into the Kage Level. As for the other Shinobu Kiba in the Special Operations Team, although they aren't very strong in direct combat, they are definitely one of the best when it comes to escaping.
The Rock Village used the logistics team as bait to lure Kato Mitsukaze to take the bait, but Kato Mitsukaze himself wanted to use himself as bait to lure Onoki, the Sandaime Tsuchikage to take the bait.
Unlike Onoki who wanted to kill Kato Mitsukaze, Kato Mitsukaze's purpose was to lure Onoki out of the Rock Shinobi's camp and fight him in a place where the Rock Shinobi's people are relatively few.
Kato Mitsukaze didn't want to kill or defeat Onoki, he just wanted to drag him down in a direct battle. His requirements weren't high, after all, Onoki was a veteran Kage Level Ninja in the Shinobi World, and he was still young, so he just needed to take it one step at a time.
Kato Mitsukaze's mind was constantly thinking, and his soul vision covered the entire battlefield. He noticed the movements of Hatsuki Shigeru and the other Wood Leaf Shinobi and estimated that it was almost time.
With a flash of blue light, Kato Mitsukaze appeared beside Hatsuki Shigeru. At this time, they were in the middle of the Rock Shinobi's Logistics Team, and the other Wood Leaf Shinobi were also gathered there.
"It's almost time, the Rock Shinobi's reinforcements are coming, get ready to retreat!"
"Same old rules, I will bring up the rear, Hatake, you take them and retreat first!"
Two clear orders came from Kato Mitsukaze's mouth, and in the chaotic battlefield, they were accurately transmitted to the ears of every Wood Leaf Shinobi.
Kato Mitsukaze looked around at his teammates, the number of people was the same as before the attack, and they weren't rookies who had done this kind of task for the first time, so they were familiar with the procedure.
There was no response, but the Wood Leaf Shinobi who received Kato Mitsukaze's order quickly gathered around Hatsuki Shigeru, and with Hatsuki Shigeru as the arrowhead, they quickly formed a triangular formation and prepared to break out of the encirclement and retreat.
Kato Mitsukaze himself was the bait, but that was because he was using his salted fish clone, so even if he lost it, it wouldn't be a big deal. These Special Operations Team members who followed him to attack the Rock Shinobi were all real flesh and blood, and losing one of them was enough to make Kato Mitsukaze's heart ache.
After issuing the battle order, Kato Mitsukaze quickly squatted down with his back facing his teammates, and then quickly formed hand seals with his hands, and began to mobilize the huge amount of Chakra in his body.
Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld.
Earth Release: Earthquake Technique.
Two large-scale Earth Release Ninjutsu quickly swept from Kato Mitsukaze's position to the entire Rock Shinobi's Logistics Team.
Although Kato Mitsukaze's Earth Release Chakra is not yet perfect, but he has a lot of Chakra, and the main purpose of using these two Earth Release Ninjutsu is not to kill people, but to control the situation and create more chaos so that his teammates can break out of the encirclement and retreat.
The huge amount of Chakra was released from Kato Mitsukaze's hands, and it flowed freely in the ground. The main road was already muddy because of the rain, but now under the feet of the Rock Shinobi, it turned into a swamp, and it was shaking up and down like an earthquake.
The Rock Shinobi's Logistics Team, which had just been organized, was once again thrown into chaos.
The members of the Special Operations Team, under the leadership of Hatsuki Shigeru, took advantage of the chaos caused by Kato Mitsukaze's two large-scale Earth Release Ninjutsu, and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
In addition to controlling the two Ninjutsu in his hands, Kato Mitsukaze's greater role was to act as bait and continue to wait for the prey he wanted to catch.
Kato Furukawa believed that the head of the leader of Konoha's northern front would definitely interest Onoki, the Third Hokage.
