In the Land of Rivers, the control areas of Sunagakure and Konoha are intertwined, and battles and deaths occur all the time along the long boundary between the two forces.
In the process of entering their own defense zone from the side controlled by themselves, Team Hanyu did not encounter any enemies, but they did run into their own people several times in a row. However, what happened when different teams met was quite funny, because they would ask each other to prove their identities...
From top to bottom, all ninjas were on high alert.
The team then broke into the woods, and after a brief reconnaissance, the four of them gathered together again.
"In terms of location, this is the best reconnaissance position in this forest. The terrain is high, the view is wide, and the trees are relatively sparse. However, precisely because its location is too good, we cannot set up a sentry post there," said Hanyu, pointing to a location on the map.
The reason is self-evident. In a sniper battle, a sniper will never squat in the best sniping position, because such an obvious position will not only be known to you as the best place to hide and attack, but the opponent will also know it, so it is equivalent to exposing your position directly to the opponent.
"Apart from these, there are only a few alternative locations left ." Hanyu circled a few points on the map with a pen and marked them with numbers.
"I think point five is the best location. It has a good field of vision, enough to monitor the movements around us. At the same time, the lush vegetation makes it easier to hide, and it also facilitates flexible combat or transfers, so we won't be trapped in a desperate situation." Renjuro said, pointing to point five on the map.
The opinion of the reconnaissance ninja was worthy of respect, and the remaining two nodded. The position chosen by the other party could not only observe the entire scene, but also make it easier for everyone to evacuate to Konoha's control area if they encountered danger.
"Since everyone agrees, let's move over there." Hanyu also thought that the location was good, so he determined the location of the reconnaissance post, and then everyone moved towards that place cautiously.
During this process, they neither found the enemy nor any traces left by the previous team.
After arriving at point five, the reconnaissance ninja Renjuro began to draw special chakra spells on the surrounding trees . After completing this arrangement, if any unfamiliar chakra approached those spells, he would be able to quickly sense the other party's presence.
Hanyu did not feel unfamiliar with this rather special method of reconnaissance, and even felt a sense of familiarity, because he could generally call it...inserting eyes.
After Renjuro was ready, Hanyu said to the others, "Except for a few in reserve, place the remaining detonating tags around the area."
"All of them, Hanyu? You know, supplies on the front line are very scarce. We should try to save as much as possible when we can." Nara Nagisa said. She felt that Hanyu's approach was a bit wasteful.
"All," Hanyu emphasized again, and then he explained, "Your idea is good, but it is meaningless. If we are the only one saving resources, then it will be meaningless to the entire battle situation. If everyone is saving resources, then it doesn't matter if we waste a little. So... set up all the detonating tags. At least such traps can further increase our chances of survival and the success rate of the mission."
Logistics are the Hokage's concern, and have nothing to do with Genin. Genin also has its advantages, at least you don't have to worry too much, just use whatever supplies are assigned to you, why bother so much.
There is no doubt that Konoha's state-owned assets were lost from people like Hanyu... But the good thing is that at least he used the materials for public use and did not enrich himself.
"…"
To the others, Hanyu's words seemed to make some sense, but they always felt that something was not right.
They had no choice but to deploy the detonating talismans under the captain's order. After all their preparations were completed, their tense minds finally relaxed a little .
Then, the team's reconnaissance formation was deployed to point 5. Hanyu and Nagisa hid in a tree canopy, constantly patrolling everything around them with vigilant eyes. Not far behind them, Renjuro closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings of each spell he set.
Yasanagi lay on the trunk of a tall tree a little further behind, hiding herself completely.
This kind of frontline mission is tense and boring, but it does not allow for any negligence. Therefore, although Hanyu and others seem to have done nothing, they are extremely exhausted.
As I remained fully focused at all times, the night of the first day gradually arrived, and it seemed as if nothing had happened that day.
However, it is not a good thing to draw such a conclusion too early. Several bird calls that sounded extremely natural and without any abnormality reached Hanyu's ears, and he instantly became more alert... This was a signal from Renjuro.
Then the bird's cry was repeated once more, and Renjuro accurately conveyed the information he had discovered:
"Enemy spotted, number 1, position 22, 15!"
Through the layers of leaves, Hanyu turned his gaze to the coordinates reported by Renjuro, and as expected, he saw a Sand Village ninja.
Everyone received Renjuro's message. Even though they had only been together for a short time, they had already determined several ways of passing information between them.
"What should we do?" Nara on the side asked Hanyu silently while using his hands to make secret sounds.
Hanyu thought for a moment, then responded, "Wait. At least wait until the other party's companions show up before deciding whether to take action. We must kill all enemies with one strike and not give them a chance to counterattack."
Hanyu didn't believe that a single Sand Village ninja would break into this area. He felt that the people on the opposite side were at least a small team, and the first one that appeared was just a bait to lure them into taking action.
"But that ninja has already approached the trap area we set."
"He's just selling it, but it's too obvious. We have to hold back... Don't underestimate the scheming of the Sunagakure ninjas."
"He's getting closer to the detonating tag. Three steps, two steps, one step. This guy has stepped on the trap and is about to trigger the explosion!" Nara stared at the enemy's whereabouts closely, and then he couldn't bear to stare any longer.
Shit, this Sand Ninja seems to be really stupid. It was not until he stepped on the detonating tag that he found himself in a trap with some disbelief.
A huge explosion shocked the birds and beasts in the woods, and the Sand Ninja who fell into the trap was also blown away.
Seeing this result, Nara simply stopped making gestures. He looked directly at Hanyu, as if saying, let's see what you say this time.
Hanyu thought for a moment and continued in code, "We still can't be careless. Look, even the blood mist that exploded from the enemy is in the shape of bait."
"…"
What shape is the bait?
