Since it's a deep penetration mission, Satoru's squad can't have too many people this time. After Satoru's selection, he finally decided to bring only four people, one from the Hyuga clan, and the other three belong to the branch family's Ino-Shika-Cho squad.
The level of this mission is directly classified as S-rank, which is also the first S-rank mission that Satoru has carried out.
"We need to secretly infiltrate the Land of Moon, and reach the border of Land of Moon and Land of Thunder as quickly as possible, completely cut off their supply line, and let their frontline ninjas lose their rear supplies."
After gathering the squad members together, Satoru simply explained the content of the mission.
"So Hyuga Ikki, you play a crucial role in this mission, we need your eyes, always pay attention to the surrounding situation."
Satoru said seriously to the person from the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Ikki, who was also the opponent Satoru defeated in the Chunin exam.
"Understood."
Hyuga Ikki nodded, with a serious expression. Now he no longer has the heart to compete with Hatake Satoru. Although he is a few years older than Satoru, his strength may never surpass him.
Although Satoru also has Rikugan, and he can almost do what the Byakugan can do, when he reaches the enemy's rear, there will inevitably be situations where they have to act separately. At that time, Hyuga Ikki can provide reconnaissance for the branch family's Ino-Shika-Cho.
"Nara Yoshie, Yamanaka Doukai, Akimichi Taizo, are you ready?"
"Ready, Captain Hatake."
"Good, let's set off now."
Since they have become a raid squad, they naturally can't act with the large troops. They have to move at a faster speed.
After saying goodbye to his friends, the five people rushed out at the fastest speed.
"Orochimaru-sama, is it a bit too difficult for Hatake Satoru to do this task?"
In the temporary camp set up by Konohagakure people, a Jonin said to Orochimaru.
"Don't underestimate that kid, do you think you can be his opponent?"
Hearing Orochimaru's counter-question, the Jonin was speechless for a while. Thinking of the military exploits and destructive power caused by Hatake Satoru just now, the Jonin knew that he couldn't do it now, and whether he could do it in the future is still an unknown.
"So, it's most suitable for him to do this task."
Originally, Orochimaru wanted to personally lead a part of the people to complete this task, but if he were to carry out this task, then their squad would have to re-elect a team leader, but ordinary Jonin simply couldn't take over this position. Fortunately, Satoru's appearance helped Orochimaru solve this part of the trouble.
"But what if he fails?"
"If he fails, then he can only blame his lack of strength. At that time, I will personally go to the enemy's rear."
"But Satoru is the son of White Fang, now that White Fang has passed away, we can't let his child carry out such a dangerous task, at least not now."
"The end of a hero's son is often a hero, isn't it? If he really fails, then this is his fate. Okay, don't say any more. If you keep talking here, then you will go with them."
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama."
Hearing Orochimaru say this, he could only shut up honestly. Compared to the more dangerous enemy's rear mission, he still felt that it was safer to fight Kumogakure Ninja on the front line.
"Satoru, you must come back safely."
Nakajima and others also prayed for Satoru in their hearts. Now Satoru is going to carry out the task, they can't help at all.
The land area of Land of Hot Water is not very large. In less than a day, Satoru and a few of them have already reached the border of Land of Hot Water and Land of Moon.
In Satoru's line of sight, he could already see a lot of Kumogakure Ninja appearing in front of them, holding torches, and looking vigilantly at the territory of Land of Hot Water.
"A large number of Kumogakure Ninja have appeared in front. If we go from here, we are likely to fall into the encirclement of Kumogakure Ninja."
Hyuga Ikki said. In his Byakugan vision, he saw about five hundred chakras flowing, which was a large force of Kumogakure Ninja.
Then, everyone's eyes were on Satoru, waiting for Satoru's next command.
"Find a weak place in Kumogakure Ninja's forces and go around. If it doesn't work, you can only find a place with fewer people and forcibly raid."
"Understood."
Then, Hyuga Ikki opened the Byakugan again, constantly observing various places on the Kumogakure Ninja defense line, trying to find the weakest place.
"On the right front, there are the fewest deployed forces of Kumogakure Ninja. If you raid, it is a good choice to go from there."
"Right front?"
Hearing Hyuga Ikki say this, Satoru also noticed the place on the right front. Indeed, that is the most suitable place for them to advance. If they are lucky, they may be able to reach the territory of Land of Moon safely without fighting Kumogakure Ninja.
"Okay, be careful in your actions and try not to be discovered by the other party."
"Yes."
In the direction where Satoru's squad wanted to raid, there were only a dozen Kumogakure Ninja. Although the number of the opponent's squad was more than twice theirs, they were still worth a try.
The five of them carefully crawled towards their direction, but the result of things often does not go well. They had not walked a few steps before they were discovered by the other party.
After all, among those dozen Kumogakure Ninja, there is a Jonin, and the consciousness of Jonin is many times stronger than Chunin.
"Who is it?"
The Kumogakure Ninja shouted, and the rest of the Kumogakure Ninja also became alert instantly.
"We've been discovered, you guys go quickly, I'll cover the rear."
Everyone directly exposed their figures. Since they have been discovered, they can only break through forcibly.
"Cursed Technique Lapse, 'Blue'"
In an instant, several small blue orbs appeared around the Kumogakure Ninja, and in just a moment, all the Kumogakure Ninja, including the Jonin, disappeared.
However, the loud shout of the Kumogakure Ninja Jonin just now still attracted the attention of other squads. Hatake Satoru noticed that many ninja squads were running towards their direction quickly.
The five of them naturally did not dare to slow down their pace. If they were surrounded by the other party, they could be said to be doomed.
"Run."
Satoru said again, they solved this ninja squad in a blink of an eye, so their pace was not delayed at all. If they keep this speed, they may really be able to escape safely.
But the next second, Satoru's face became a little ugly again, because he found that a ninja squad had also appeared in front of them.
"Not good, there are people in front of us."
At this time, Hyuga Ikki also discovered it and said.
