Chapter 25 - Another enemy trail

Four figures passed through the mountains and forests.

Captain, I feel something's off, "Amber frowned and suddenly said.

What's wrong? "Inuyama asked strangely.

Normally, Captain Inoue has either joined us at this point or we have received a signal from the insects, but there is no movement at the moment, "Amber said.

Inzuka Mao suddenly stopped and stood on the tree trunk for a moment.

Yeah! How could I forget about them! "Inzuka Mao slapped his head.

Sweat! Amber is no longer able to roast. Are all the people in the dog mound family so cute?

Inzuka Mao touched his body and took out a transparent small ball resembling a bell from his waist, which contained a soybean sized bug.

What is this? "Amber asked curiously.

This is a tracking bug that has been consuming the chakra of the oil girl's clothes for a long time, and is extremely sensitive to its chakra fluctuations. As long as the oil girl's clothes appear within 100 kilometers, its head will be aimed at the direction of the oil girl's clothes, "explained Inuzuka Mao.

So powerful? "Amber took the ball and looked closer. The bug looked a bit like a beetle, but its head was covered in dense fluff, making it look a bit ferocious. The ball was filled with one-third of the leaf fragments, probably to maintain the vitality of the bug, but...

Captain, "Amber gently shook the ball and looked up," why is it still? Is it dead

Hmm? Can't you? "Inuzuka Mao's face changed, and he quickly took the ball and checked it. Sure enough, the bug had already died.

Looking at the embarrassed expression on Inzuki's face, Amber carefully said, "It can't be... did you kill me, Captain

No, "Inuyama said solemnly," Natural death and being killed are different, I can tell

Natural death? Why did it suddenly die? "Hui Tai asked in confusion.

Taking a deep breath, Inzuka Mao said, "These bugs and bugs make the mind think. If the bug dies, it means

No... wouldn't it?! "Amber, Huitai, and Sisi were shocked. Did the oil girl Mayi die?!

Well, Teacher Inoue... "asked Sisi with a worried expression on her face.

Inuzuka Mao glanced at Sisi and said sadly, "I don't know either. They must have been ambushed. Your teacher, Shenyue Inoue, is not far from the elite and is much stronger than Mai. Maybe he can survive

Impossible! Teacher Inoue will be fine! Let's quickly go and support Teacher Inoue! "Exclaimed Huita excitedly.

After thinking for a moment, Inuzuka Mao nodded. It was possible that the ambush they were ambushing was the mission target of himself and others, and we must confirm it.

After traveling at full speed for most of the day, the four amber people returned to the river they had passed by in the evening.

This is... "The four of them narrowed their eyes and saw many damaged Kuwuhe swords scattered on the riverbank. Several obvious pits opened by detonating talismans were still left on the riverbank, and a headless corpse was lying in the blood.

The four of them quickly walked to the edge of the corpse, wearing a gray coat. It was obvious that it was a hemp clad corpse, and the head had been taken away by the enemy.

Sisi covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. Yesterday, Senior Ma Yi was still chatting with Sisi, but today she turned into a headless corpse. War is truly heartbreaking.

After a moment of silence, Amber took out a blank scroll and sealed the body of the oil clad woman inside. Bringing back the body was also an explanation to his family.

Inuzuka Mao has experienced multiple deaths of his companions, and his sadness has greatly diminished. He got up and searched around with Gintama Maru, quickly finding a clue. Through the smell of the well, Gintama Maru discovered a piece of paper written with a secret code under a large stone not far away.

After the translation, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. Teacher Inoue was fine, but they encountered another elite team, Sarin. This team of Sarin should have had contact with the target of the mission, so Teacher Inoue and the others were ambushed. After escaping, Teacher Inoue left a note and went to track down the team of Sarin. At the same time, they ordered Amber and others to continue the mission.

Huitai grinned and said, "I told you, Teacher Inoue is very strong

Alright, since we've confirmed the other party's whereabouts, we should set off now, "said Inzuka Mao, biting his thumb and quickly making five marks, pressing one palm to the ground.

The art of telepathy! "A white mist drifted by, and a contact eagle appeared on the ground.

Huitai and Sisi had never seen any spiritual magic before, and they both surrounded the eagle in surprise.

Inuzuka Mao wrote the intelligence and stuffed the scroll into the scroll clip on the back of the eagle. He gently supported the eagle with his arm and spread its wings, flying towards the distance.

Okay, let's continue tracking

Yes

~~~~~~~

On the other side, nine figures quietly crossed the boundary of the Fire River, infiltrated the Fire Country, and headed towards the capital of the Fire Country.

Hehe, Captain, there seems to be a tail following behind, like the guy who ran away before, "a hoarse voice came from a Sand Ninja's mouth.

After a moment of silence, the captain carrying a machine mounted crossbow said, "Keep him and use him to pass on our false intelligence. We can kill him when we get to the capital of the Fire Kingdom

Hehe, I understand

~~~~~~~

On one side here is an open forest, and on the other is a cliff, separated by a flowing river, creating a clear distinction between the two.

Is this where it is, Captain? "Amber quietly poked her head out of the treetops and looked at the cliff from afar. There was a tenacious tree growing on the cliff, which was quite conspicuous.

Inzuka Mao also poked his head out and looked carefully, then flipped through the map to compare the surrounding environment. He nodded and said, "That's right, it's this stronghold. The rock behind that tree has been hollowed out, and at least sixty ninjas are stationed inside

There doesn't seem to be anything special, is there a mistake? "Hui Tai asked in confusion.

Bang! Sisi punched Huitai on the head and said helplessly, "This is a hidden stronghold. If you can even tell, what's the point

Sisi, please sense the stronghold and see if anyone is there, "said Inzuka Mao.

Sisi nodded and closed her eyes to carefully perceive it. After a while, Sisi opened her eyes and said, "I can sense Chakra. Although I can't clearly perceive the number of people through the rocks, there should be many people present

What about the area around the stronghold? Are there any hidden enemies

Not perceiving the presence of the enemy

Okay, let's observe in place. Amber and Sisi, go set up some warning traps around and set up a tent. Huitai, don't you have Sharingan? Your eyes should be good. Keep a close eye on the movements of the stronghold, and I'll go get you some food, "Inzuka Mao ordered.

Understood

Amber and Sisi are both skilled in traps and quickly managed to trap them. A four meter wide dark green tent was tied between several trees, covering an empty space.

After a while, Captain Inzuka Mao came back with two wild rabbits and looked at the silver tooth pill with blood all over his mouth. He probably had eaten enough.

I've been eating dry food for the past few days. Let's have some meat today, but for concealment, we can only boil it in water. I heard from Inoue that you should bring a pot and an alcohol stove with you, Amber, right? "Inzuka Mao said, throwing down the rabbit.

Sisi pouted and complained, "Ah? I really want to eat grilled meat

Hmph. "Amber chuckled twice and took out a black scroll from her backpack, saying," Sisi, you should be grateful that you're on a team with me. "With that, she opened the scroll and summoned the contents inside. There are all kinds of pots, bowls, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and even a strange cylindrical stove.

What is this? "The two of them asked in surprise.

This is a smokeless and odorless barbecue grill, "Amber proudly said," I invented it. Using it to grill meat won't leak any odor, and it's guaranteed to be even more hidden than boiling water

Is it really fake? I've never heard of such a thing before, "Inuyama said in surprise.

Of course, there's only one like this in the world. "Amber took the rabbit, deftly processed it, buried its internal organs and fur underground, took out a cutting board, sliced the rabbit meat, coated it with seasoning, threaded it onto an iron rod, and stuffed it into the stove. The two rabbits almost filled the stove.

Take out the kettle and fill the sink at the top of the stove with water, sprinkle some medicinal powder in it, and then ignite the alcohol stove. After covering the stove, the entire stove is sealed, and all the smoke will be filtered by the sink. The odor will also be eliminated by the special medicinal powder, and there will be no fragrance for ten miles.

Inzuka Mao leaned up and sniffed, and the air that floated out had a faint scent of grass. It was difficult to distinguish the hint of grilled meat with his nose.

What a great thing! Can you get me one too, Amber? "Inzuki Mao said with shining eyes.

Sure, I'll give you one when we get back to Konoha

Sisi couldn't help but say, "Amber, your scroll is so convenient. If I had known, I would have asked you to bring me some snacks

I would rather bring more restraints

Hmph

The grilled meat was quickly cooked, but unfortunately, in order to cover up the smell, it had to be cooled before eating. Although the taste was slightly worse, it was still quite good, and the fatigue from a few days seemed to have eased a lot.

At midnight, a crescent moon hung in the night sky, and Amber sat quietly alone, gazing at the distant cliff with some trance, contemplating her future.

Amber, it's time to change shifts, "Huitai suddenly jumped up and rubbed her eyes, saying.

Ah, I'm not tired, why don't you sleep a little longer? "Amber said motionless.

Hui Tai was stunned for a moment, looking at the trance like Amber strangely, and asked, "Why aren't you tired? What are you thinking

Amber sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do, my IQ is too high, I can't sleep

Huh! "Hui Tai turned her head and sat on the tree trunk with a displeased expression," Are you afraid that I might surpass you? So you're upset and upset

Amber chuckled lightly and said, "I have no interest in winning over you

Bastard! Do you want to fight?! "Huitai's eyes lit up as she listened to Amber's words.

Hehe, "Amber smiled and suddenly said," Do you know my ideal

Of course I know, "Hui Tai sneered," It's just something about world peace, boring

Well, I didn't expect you to know me quite well, "Amber was a little surprised, as she didn't seem to have said these things to him.

I'm too lazy to get to know you, "Hui Tai lay down on the tree trunk, looking at the crescent moon and said," As long as I can make my parents happy, and the partners I care about and the people I like can be safe, I'm satisfied. What does the world and unrest have to do with me

Amber quietly looked at Huitai, her black eyes reflecting the moon, shining brightly, which reminded Amber of her past life. Isn't that what her original self thought? However, when the fate of the crisis is in front of us, where should we go?

Hello, Huitai, "Amber shouted.

What's wrong

Exercise your Sharingan well, without enough strength, you won't be able to protect anything in the end

Well, I know
