Before long, they received another order from Orochimaru, ordering them to withdraw directly. Now they have no way to carry out the task of destroying the Thunder Moon Bridge, because it has been destroyed by the Eight Tails.
"If we want to avoid being discovered by the Kumogakure Ninja, then we can only go from the Land of Rice Fields. However, this may waste some time, but at least, the safety can be improved to a certain extent."
Nara Yoshie spoke up. Although the Land of Moon and the Land of Rice Fields do not border each other, they can take a boat to the Land of Rice Fields. If that's not possible, they can only run across the sea.
After Nara Yoshie expressed her opinion, she looked at Satoru, as if waiting for Satoru to make a decision.
"Alright, then let's take a detour to the Land of Rice Fields, and then return to the Land of Hot Water from the Land of Rice Fields."
Hatake Satoru thought about it and found that this plan had no flaws. The only drawback is that it takes a longer time.
And the frontline troops of the Kumogakure Ninja will definitely strengthen their patrols. They have done such a big thing. Although the crisis of the Thunder Moon Bridge has been lifted, they will never let Satoru and his party go.
"Let's set off now."
"Yes."
When dusk fell, a few people took advantage of the night as a cover, and ran all the way to the border of the Land of Moon, then neatly made a raft, and left the Land of Moon directly.
After three days, everyone returned to the territory of the Land of Hot Water in a dusty manner, successfully returned to the position of Konohagakure. Although it was only a few days, for Hyuga Ikki and others, it was no less than a round trip from the gate of ghosts.
"I heard about your deeds in the report, you did a good job, you can block Ai of Kumogakure by yourself, it seems that your strength is stronger than we expected."
After seeing Orochimaru, Orochimaru directly praised Satoru, and his curiosity about Satoru grew stronger in his heart.
He naturally knows what the title 'Ai' means to the Kumogakure Ninja, and he naturally knows what it is to inherit the title 'Ai', so he is surprised that Satoru can come back from the opponent's hands.
"But the mission still failed."
"It's enough, you have destroyed the Thunder Moon Bridge once, the S-class mission has been completed, but next is the protracted battle with the Kumogakure Ninja. This war, at least one year will be needed to end, you can be prepared to suffer."
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama."
"And be careful recently. According to the people we have planted in the Kumogakure Ninja, all the Kumogakure Ninja should pay special attention to a white-haired kid from Konohagakure wearing an eye mask. Presumably, that person is you. Be vigilant at all times to prevent being assassinated."
"Yes, I will be careful."
In wartime, the assassination of the main force of the other side is nothing new. They Konohagakure will also execute assassination tasks against the enemy ninja village from time to time, but very few can succeed. Most of the final results are losing both the wife and the soldiers.
Of course, other ninja villages also perform this kind of assassination task, almost all of them are in this situation.
For example, if the Kumogakure Ninja wants to execute the assassination of Orochimaru, not only do they have to break through the heavy defenses of Konohagakure, they also have to pay attention to the people around them, and they must have good strength, and they must be able to kill with one blow. Otherwise, if it causes a commotion, they can only commit suicide.
"Alright, you go down and rest.
"Yes."
As soon as Satoru walked out of the tent, a group of people immediately surrounded him, including Satoru's former teachers and teammates, as well as those who carried out this mission.
"Satoru, it's great that you can come back safely."
Masahiro hugged Satoru as soon as he saw him, his voice choked up a bit. When he knew that Satoru was going to carry out such a dangerous mission, he was really afraid that he would lose another teammate.
"Haha, but I still think it's better for you to let me go, or your actions will make others misunderstand my sexual orientation."
Satoru's words instantly broke the touching atmosphere.
"You, my sexual orientation is also normal."
But after Satoru's joke, the atmosphere was indeed much more relaxed.
"Congratulations, Satoru, you have completed the first S-class mission in your life, but this is just a beginning, don't be arrogant because of this mission."
Nakajima-sensei reminded Satoru.
"I understand, Nakajima-sensei."
"But it's good to be able to come back safely."
Nakajima showed a relieved expression on his face, patted Satoru on the shoulder, having a student like Satoru can be said to be the luckiest thing in his life.
The war is still going on, and there will be ninja casualties every day. Although they are fighting every day, there has been no large-scale conflict.
In this way, this small-scale conflict has lasted for more than a year. In this more than a year, I don't know how many Kumogakure Ninja have died in Satoru's hands.
Those Kumogakure Ninja also understand what it means to pay attention to the white-haired kid with an eye mask. That is simply a demon who wanders in every corner of the battlefield and kills without blinking.
Now, among the Kumogakure Ninja, Satoru has a very loud nickname, White Devil.
Whenever you encounter the White Devil, if there are not five Jonin in the team, withdraw immediately.
Of course, this does not mean that the combat power of five Jonin can defeat Satoru, but that five Jonin can barely ensure their own safety by working together.
And even if they retreat, it depends on whether Satoru's mood is good or not. If it's good, they might let them go. If it's not good, even if the other party has the intention to retreat, there is no chance to retreat.
Now Satoru is considered a hero in the hearts of these Konohagakure ninjas. Many ninjas have been saved by Satoru. It can be said that if there is no Satoru, they will definitely suffer more casualties.
"Captain Hatake, Orochimaru-sama summons you."
"Okay, I know."
Although Satoru has not yet mastered the Cursed Technique Reversal, he feels that the time to master the technique reversal does not seem to be that long.
"Orochimaru-sama, are you looking for me?"
"Well, the village has decided to send you to other battlefields. Now the Kumogakure Ninja does not put the main target on us, so staying here is a waste of your combat power."
"Other battlefields? Where? Sunagakure or Iwagakure?"
If possible, Satoru still hopes to go to the Iwagakure. Because his younger brother Kakashi is on the battlefield there, Satoru has heard some news about Kakashi in this year, and has also made outstanding achievements, and may soon be promoted to Jonin.
"Neither."
Orochimaru shook his head.
"It's Kirigakure. Recently, the Kirigakure Ninja has been very dishonest and will attack our border from time to time. Since it is not a large-scale attack, the village has decided to send you to guard there."
"Kirigakure? I understand, when will I leave?"
"Now."
