"Yes, Captain!"
Before setting out, there was an issue with Sarutobi Asuma, which undoubtedly made Dakota very unhappy.
So, when Yasuke gave the order to depart, Dakota, determined not to disappoint Yasuke, moved swiftly ahead. On the other hand, Kurenai Yūhi wasn't affected by Sarutobi Asuma's situation and was still planning to show Yasuke a thing or two during the mission.
But who would have thought that just as they set out, Yasuke would give Dakota and Kurenai a small shock!
The shock was Yasuke's terrifying speed!
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Almost the moment they left the Konoha Medical Unit's camp, Yasuke suddenly sped up, catching the early-familiar Dakota by surprise.
When Yasuke first carried out a mission, Dakota knew that his speed was nowhere near what it was now. It had only been about a month since they last saw each other, and Dakota never expected that Yasuke had mastered the wind attribute chakra's "acceleration" ability, significantly enhancing his speed to the point where even the former Anbu member Dakota was struggling to keep up.
As for Kurenai?
That goes without saying!
Without the special Anbu training like Dakota, Kurenai found it incredibly difficult to keep up with Yasuke!
Initially planning to show Yasuke a thing or two, she found herself struggling as soon as they left the camp.
"Damn, if I ask to slow down now, won't that kid look down on me?"
"He might even say something like women are troublesome, right?"
"No way, I can't let that kid look down on me! I have to keep up with him!"
Partly to compete with Yasuke and partly for her pride as a female ninja.
With multiple considerations, Kurenai pushed herself, quickly channeling chakra within her, preparing to speed up and catch up with Yasuke.
However, just as Kurenai and Dakota gritted their teeth to barely keep up with Yasuke, Yasuke suddenly stopped and said something that left both Kurenai and Dakota speechless, their mouths agape, unable to say a word for a long time!
"Dakota, Kurenai, is the warm-up over?"
"Our mission is urgent, so we're going to speed up. Can you handle it?"
Yasuke's words just dropped, and Kurenai's face turned red, unable to utter a single word.
On the other hand, Dakota, who was more familiar with Yasuke's personality, responded directly: "Shadow, to be honest, I was already struggling with the previous speed, let's go a bit slower!"
Saying this, Dakota couldn't help but sigh: "Shadow, I didn't expect that in just a little over a month, your strength would improve so much. If Leo and Benny carry out missions with you again, they will definitely be as surprised as I am!"
"Yeah, if possible, I'd like to carry out missions with them too."
With a smile, Yasuke responded, frowning slightly as he turned away, without saying much.
The team had just been formed, and there was already an issue with Sarutobi Asuma, so Yasuke couldn't exactly tell Dakota and Kurenai that they were too slow, right?
That would be tantamount to directly slapping Dakota and Kurenai in the face.
Therefore, for the sake of team unity, Yasuke had no choice but to change the breakout plan, preparing to proceed cautiously and slowly.
Undoubtedly, this method of breaking out was the least efficient and also the most dangerous.
But there was no other way, since Yasuke chose to trust Dakota, he had to bear the cost.
Then, Yasuke used the Wind Sensing method to roughly sense the surroundings and then asked Dakota with a serious look: "Dakota, sense the surroundings, it's too quiet."
"Kurenai, check for traps around us. Leave the traps to you!"
"No problem, Captain!"
If Yasuke hadn't given Kurenai a shock earlier, she might have obeyed his orders outwardly but still harbored resistance internally.
However, now that Yasuke had given Kurenai a shock with his speed, the effect was very good. As soon as Yasuke gave the order, not only did Dakota obey, but even the always defiant Kurenai began working diligently for Yasuke, as if she wanted to regain some dignity, becoming especially serious when searching for traps around them.
And to be fair, Kurenai's proficiency in genjutsu was unmatched by both Yasuke and Dakota!
In just a few seconds, before Dakota had sensed anything around them, Kurenai had already found three small traps nearby. Each of these traps was related to genjutsu, which Yasuke and Dakota would likely have fallen into if it weren't for Kurenai's discovery, saving them a lot of time.
Kurenai's performance made Yasuke nod in approval, recognizing her abilities.
Clearly, without Kurenai, Yasuke and Dakota, being clueless about genjutsu, could have stepped into the enemy's traps. While their lives might not be in danger, their breakout plan would have failed, and a horde of enemy ninjas would soon surround them.
With Kurenai's help, the breakout's efficiency increased significantly.
But even so, combat was still an indispensable part of the breakout plan!
With Kurenai's help, Yasuke and the others had just leaped over several traps and were preparing for the next stage of their breakout when Dakota suddenly signaled to Yasuke and whispered: "Shadow, there are enemy ninjas 500 meters ahead! Initial estimates suggest one Jonin, two Chunin, and three Genin. What should we do?"
"What? Jonin?"
As soon as Dakota finished speaking, Kurenai couldn't help but exclaim.
Clearly, from Kurenai's perspective, encountering a Jonin-level ninja meant mission failure.
So, upon hearing that there was a Jonin among the enemy, both Kurenai and Dakota's expressions turned grim.
However, while Dakota and Kurenai felt the pressure, Yasuke smiled lightly.
It seemed that encountering a Jonin during a breakout was something Yasuke had prepared for early on. Not only was he ready to face a Jonin, but upon hearing that a Jonin-led team was about to engage his squad, Yasuke smiled lightly and said to Dakota and Kurenai:
"Dakota, Kurenai, don't worry!"
"It's just a Jonin. As long as you follow my orders, even if more Jonin come, we'll make sure they don't return!"
