We were running through the forest towards the camp, feeling very anxious. The current situation was very disadvantageous to us, because the ones chasing after us were probably the elite troops.
"Are we their only target?”I said to Kakashi.
"It's not just us. The Koba Ninjas who went to investigate are also their targets. Those who went must be elites, so they are much more valuable than those Genins.”Kakashi said hurriedly.
Suddenly, the black wolf barked anxiously behind us. Our bodies trembled. It had finally caught up.
"Hurry up and leave!" " Let's go!" Kakashi shouted. We continued to move forward while summoning the ninja hawk. Not long after, the ninja hawk arrived. Kakashi quickly wrote down a few words and we immediately left. Looking at Hei Lang's extremely uneasy expression, we knew that the ones who came this time were all Jounin. We were going to suffer!
"We can't go on like this. It won't be long before they catch up!”Kakashi shouted.
"Do you understand now? Is there any way?"
"We have the black wolves. This is our advantage. We'll bring them around in circles.”Hearing this, my eyes lit up. This idea was not bad.
After making up our minds, we began to create a disguise. We left a few footprints and then moved to the right. We were getting further and further away from the stronghold. Although the enemy could be confused for a while, it was still useless. We only moved forward for 20 minutes. The black wolf warned us, and the enemy still caught up.
"What should we do? No matter how fast Ninja Hawk is, it will take at least three hours for reinforcements to arrive. This is not including the time to identify the route.”I asked anxiously.
" Let's disguise ourselves a few more times and head towards the stronghold. It would be best if we can meet reinforcements, but if we can't…" I could understand Kakashi's meaning.
"This time, the enemy has learned their lesson. They split into two groups!”From the sounds of the black wolves, the enemies had split into two groups. Damn it, they were already deep into the Fire Country, yet they still didn't let go. It seemed that they would only be satisfied after they killed us.
Kakashi suddenly stopped and fell to the ground. "What's wrong?"
"We'll go back the way we came and hide.”After creating the illusion of footprints, we returned for a distance and hid. It was the season of falling leaves, and the forest was not lacking in withered branches and leaves. We used the smell of branches and leaves to confuse our own scent. This was not the first time we used this method. We had once deceived the Chuunin, and hoped to deceive the Jounin. Returning the way we came was also a gamble. We were betting that the enemy would not think that we were hiding in the place we had previously walked.
Time slowly passed. Kakashi, Hei Lang, and I hid together, burying our bodies in the withered leaves. The enemy had not searched this place. It seemed that they were confused and had found the wrong place. However, we were not sure how long we could deceive the enemy. After an unknown period of time, we heard a voice above our heads. They had finally found us.
"How was it? Did you find it?" A deep voice asked," No, we've searched in all directions, but there are no traces.”
"Damn it, start searching from here. We'll leave in 20 minutes. We can't stay here for too long.”The enemies scattered, but we still didn't move because the enemies might come back to kill us. As expected, in less than two minutes, the enemies gathered again.
"Could it be that he really escaped? How is that possible? No, he must still be nearby.”The captain ordered. Just as we were pleasantly surprised, something unexpected happened.”The enemies had all stopped. My heart tightened. Could it be that they had discovered me? I seemed to feel a gaze on me.
"So it's here. Not bad, little brats. I have to admit that you do have the qualifications to be on the must-kill list.”Sha Ren said indifferently. His voice was extremely penetrating and full of confidence. We still didn't move. What if it was a trap?
"Don't hide anymore, you little brats 40 meters away from me, it's time for you to come out from the pile of withered grass.”Sand Ninja's voice shattered our expectations. Sounds came from all around us. We were surrounded. Kakashi, Hei Lang, and I could only get up from the ground.
Looking at the dead branches and leaves on our bodies, the group of sand ninjas fell silent. Our bodies tensed up, ready to fight at any moment.
