To the southwest of Muye, the Sixteen Nights team was carrying out patrol missions. The patrol missions were generally defined as Class C to Class B. This was because the responsibility of the sentry post was very important. It was mainly to observe the enemy's situation and arrest spies. Moreover, the countries and villages were not so stable now.
Other than the regular patrol teams, the Genin team would also be assigned patrol missions from time to time. This would help them familiarize themselves with the situation around the Muye team. Usually, the patrol missions under such circumstances would be to go to areas where the defense pressure was relatively low, which was the area where the Staff Committee judged that the enemy had a low chance of attacking. When a small team went out to patrol, they would usually take three to five days according to the actual distance. They would record anything unusual along the way and write a mission report when they returned to the village. After all, it was a place that was not easy to be attacked, so the patrol was not as strict as reporting once a day. As for Azurite and the others, their patrol location was in the southwest of the village. There were two cordon lines outside the patrol area, so they could rest easy…
"Hello…Liuli." Everyone jumped between the trees and suddenly came over with soil. They asked curiously.
"Hmm?" Qimu Liuli answered absent-mindedly, still thinking about the saber techniques she had mastered.
" I keep feeling that something is wrong with Asma…" Dai Tu looked at Asma worriedly.
It was rare for someone as thick as Earth to be able to tell. Qimu Liuli sighed as well. Looking at Asma's listless appearance, she seemed to have been in such a worrying state ever since that time.
" Well…don't ask. This isn't something we can interfere with…" Ruri said helplessly as she flipped her hair. Asma's question was considered a family matter, and it wasn't something that outsiders could interfere with.
Fortunately, Dai Tu didn't continue to ask. Unfortunately, after Asma's mood sank, no one in the team argued with him anymore. As a teacher, he naturally couldn't argue with Sixteen Nights. Although Qimu Liuli was a companion, she had learned her painful lesson in the past. It was too late to hide in the dirt, so why would she go up and find trouble?
"The three of you, don't talk anymore. You don't know what kind of situation you'll encounter when you're patrolling.”Sixteen Nights frowned. Patrol and sentry duty seemed simple, but it was not something that could be relaxed. Sixteen Nights had never smoked during patrol and sentry duty.
Dai Tu and Liu Li both fell silent. Although Asma still did not look good, she was more energetic than before. Everyone understood that what Sixteen Nights said just now was actually meant for Asma to hear.
Seeing that Sixteen Nights had turned her head back, Asma slowly lowered her head again and followed everyone's actions mechanically.
———————————————————————————————
At noon the next day, Sixteen Nights and the others had arrived at the mission. It was the furthest from Muye and the last patrol spot. After recording here, they could return home.
" What a leisurely life…" With a pair of brown goggles, he looked at the sun above him through the leaves and felt the warm touch on his body.
Asma was sitting beside a big tree, leaning against its roots. She was also staring blankly at the green leaves on the book.
Azurite followed by Sixteen Nights 'side, watching him carefully inspect the nearby ground. Looking at the silent forest around her, Azurite Qimu panicked…
Something was wrong! Something was very wrong! Ruri slowly closed her eyes.
Spiritual Sense…Open
“!!”Instantly, the hair on Qimu Liuli's back stood up.
“!!”Sixteen Nights, who had just found some clues on the ground, happened to look at Azurite. When she saw Azurite's expression, her expression changed.
" Danger!!"
Almost at the same time that Azurite Qimu warned Asama and Dantu, more than ten wind blades had already come from all directions and were slashing at Sixteen Nights and the other three!!! The huge tree that the two of them were hugging was unable to even block the wind blades for a moment.
It had been more than a year since he graduated. After training, even though he was carrying dirt, he reacted instantly. The moment Qimu Liuli warned him, he had already completed the seal of the Substitute Technique.
As for Azurite, she drew out Light and broke the wind blades that were charging at her.
"Asma!" Azurite's eyes glanced over and she was shocked. As expected, Asma was not in the right state of mind! Like Dearto, he reacted the moment Azurite gave her warning. As for Asma, she only reacted after the wind blades appeared. Although she had pawned two of the wind blades with Kunai, it was just an ordinary Kunai after all. It was completely incomparable to Azurite's Kagami. In Azurite's spiritual sense, the dozen ninjas surrounding her team were all senior Jounin level. Just Chakraliang alone, at least seven or eight of them were stronger than Deepsaku Sixteen Nights. Even if it was a wind blade, the ninjutsu unleashed by a Jounin of this level was not something an ordinary Genin could withstand!!
"Pa!" With a crisp sound, Asma's Kuai finally broke when she blocked the third Wind Blade. Looking at the approaching wind blades, Asma felt a chill run down her spine and into her head.
"I can't hide anymore…"
"Am I going to die?"
"It's good to die like this…"
A bright red blood stain fell on the green grass, but Asma was panting heavily. Her eyes were wide open. It was only at this moment that she felt her body temperature, her heartbeat…Everything about her returned to her senses…
"Water Evasion, Fog Concealment Art!"
A thick fog formed and instantly enveloped the entire forest.
"Wind Escape, Great Breakthrough!" A sound like a broken bellow rang out, followed by a hurricane with astonishing destructive power. Not only did it blow away the fog, but it also blew the surrounding trees to the side. If Asma and the others were here, they would definitely sigh that this Wind Escape was on a completely different level compared to the Wind Escape used by Sea Breeze.
In the next moment, a dozen figures landed on the empty ground. Most of them were wrapped tightly in bandages. Only one person who seemed to be the leader had a piece of cloth covering the right half of his face. The dozen or so people were obviously holding back, but they did not wear anything that indicated their identity, such as forehead protectors...
One of them squatted on the ground and wiped the blood on the grass with his hand. He rubbed it gently and reported to the leader,""Leader, it's the blood of two people.”
Nodding his head, the leader's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he let out a voice that sounded like a broken bellow from before," It should just be a Genin team. I didn't expect them to discover us so quickly. According to our plan, this team must be killed…"
"Yes, sir!" The rest of them bowed at the same time and instantly disappeared from the open space, chasing after Sixteen Nights and the others.
" That little brat…" The leader subconsciously touched his throat, but he thought of the little brat from before. He had silver hair…
———————————————————————————————
Qimu Liuli and the others walked back in a sorry state. With the help of Sixteen Nights 'water escape and Qimu Liuli's spiritual senses, they had already escaped from the enemy's encirclement. However, everyone knew that this was not the time to relax. Fifteen elite Jounin had actually secretly passed through two of Muye's blockade lines. This was definitely not a normal incident. They had to report it to the village as soon as possible. Similarly, the enemy would definitely try their best to destroy them before they returned to Muye. In other words, the following time would be a death race to see who would reach their goal first!!
" Teacher…I'm sorry…I…" At this moment, Asma was lying on Sixteen Nights 'back. There was a long wound on Asma's thigh. Although it was no longer bleeding, it had a fatal impact on her mobility.
"Don't talk, conserve your strength!" Sixteen Nights interrupted Asma with a frown. There was also a wound on Sixteen Nights 'right arm, which was caused when he helped Asma block the wind blades.
At this moment, Sixteen Nights was also feeling extremely complicated. The strength of the other party made Sixteen Nights feel a sense of powerlessness that he had not felt for a long time. With the other party's lineup, if they sneaked into Muye, the damage to Muye would be unimaginable. It was not impossible for them to assassinate Naruto.
"They're catching up!" Qimu Liuli was a little annoyed. Her spiritual perception was as convenient as the white eyes, but this time, it also exposed the weakness of her spiritual perception. Just like the white eyes, if she didn't prepare beforehand, she wouldn't be able to notice her surroundings. It was like the white eyes had to open their eyes, and the spiritual perception had to close their eyes.
Azurite and the others had to move together after all, so in terms of speed, they were only slightly faster than ordinary Genins. However, the other party was all Elite Jounin, so it was only a matter of time before they were caught up.
After a moment of silence, Sixteen Nights suddenly said," Dai Tu, you go first and bring the news back…"
"What are you talking about? Teacher!" Dai Tu looked at Sixteen Nights in disbelief and shouted,""How could I abandon my companions and run away by myself!!!”
Azurite, who was standing at the side, seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Sixteen Nights, who was looking at her, and nodded silently.
"Dirt!" Sixteen Nights had been observing Azurite's reaction. After all, in this situation, there would only be one outcome for those who stayed behind…Seeing that Azurite understood his thoughts, Sixteen Nights heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at the soil and said seriously,"" Listen up, Dirt... We definitely can't fight against the other party now. The other party is obviously hostile towards Mu Ye..." Sixteen Nights paused, as if he was considering whether to say it or not."Now that Asma's leg is injured, she can't do this job. After you leave, Azurite and I will try our best to delay the other party's progress and buy time for Muye to react…Your value in staying is not great.”
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Was his strength just a burden?
"With soil?" Sensing that the other party was getting closer and closer, it would be too late if he didn't leave now. Meanwhile, Deartu seemed to have fallen into a conflict, so Qimu Liuli anxiously woke him up.
"I…understand! I'll go!" Dai Tu lowered his head. In the next second, he had already rushed out as if he wanted to vent all his grievances and unwillingness. Under his brown goggles, his eyes were already overflowing with tears.
"This is the first time I'm running away…and also the last time!!! If there was a next time! I would rather die in battle!"
Looking at the back view of the figure leaving with dirt, Sixteen Nights couldn't help but sigh," Sometimes, people who lived with dirt…needed more courage…
"He's here!" Ruri shouted and landed on the ground with Sixteen Nights. She turned around and looked at the ninjas chasing after her.
Although she wasn't wearing a forehead protector, Ruri could roughly guess her identity from her attire. She was located in a desert area with severe sandstorms, so she needed physical protection for her exposed skin. Among the five ninja villages, there was only one village in the Wind Country, Sanin.
Azurite Qimu sighed to herself. The fact that the Shinobu had snuck into the wooden leaf signified the beginning of the third Ninja World War…
