After another three days of traveling, they were now less than 50 miles away from their destination. Even with the speed of a Genin, the Ninja would only be able to cover this distance in about two hours.
Therefore, in order to prevent any accidents or sneak attacks, Uchiha Qian decisively ordered the team to slow down and take a defensive stance at all times.
"Attention everyone, we are very close to our destination now. The enemy may launch a sneak attack at any time, so I order everyone to slow down and move slowly. The scouts must be careful, otherwise, don't blame others if they die.”
Qian Uchiha said loudly.
Shang was starting to get nervous. After all, this was a battlefield, and they could lose their lives at any time. They were not fighting bandits or anything like that. Their opponents were ninjas, and they were ninjas from the Ninja Realm's Thousand-Hand Clan. They could not afford to be cautious. Their lives were their own.
Then, the team began to advance slowly.
"Stop. You two go there and take a look.”
Just as the team was slowly moving forward, Uchiha suddenly gave the order to stop. Perhaps he had discovered something, he pointed at a bush beside him and said to one of the Chuunin and two Genin.
"Whoosh!""Whoosh!""Whoosh!" Three air-piercing sounds followed the three of them as they flew into the grass.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Before they even reached the bushes, they heard a crackling sound as they approached the periphery of the bushes. It was the sound of the Detonation Talisman igniting. Out of the three who realized something was wrong, only the Chuunin reacted quickly and retreated rapidly. The other two Genins did not react as fast as the Chuunins. Without any surprise, a flame rose and instantly engulfed the two Genins.
When everyone came back to their senses, they found that one of the two Genins had already died, while the other had lost an arm and a leg. He was lying on the ground moaning in pain. It looked like he was breathing out more than he was breathing in. It was obvious that he would not survive.
Although the other clansmen around them were mentally prepared for such an accident, they had already lost two people without even seeing the shadow of an enemy. Although they were only Genin, who could say that they would not become Jounin who could take charge of the clan in the future? Therefore, no one came to break the somewhat depressing atmosphere. At this moment, the leader, Uchiha, spoke,
"Everyone can see that although the enemy has not appeared yet, it is obvious that the enemy has arrived much earlier than us. They already know our route and have set up a large number of traps on the road ahead. This is the battlefield we will experience. Moreover, we are now in a state of war, so we must not let our guard down. Otherwise, the Uchiha Minor Actor A and Uchiha Minor Actor B will be your example. What we need to do is to adjust our own state and overcome the fear in our hearts to defeat the enemy. For the sake of our fallen clansmen, whether it is this time or the past revenge, long live Uchiha.”
His impassioned words instantly aroused the bloodlust of the surrounding Uchiha ninjas, and all of them were very excited.
Shang was watching Uchiha's speech from the side. He looked at the corpses of his clansmen who had just died, and looked at the surrounding environment. He was so excited that he revealed a bloodthirsty and ferocious expression.
At this moment, a few discordant voices suddenly sounded,
"Uchiha Clan trash, go to hell.”
"Waterfall Escape Technique!"
"Water Evasion Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Water Evasion Dragon Whip!"
Dozens of figures suddenly appeared around them and released all kinds of water escape ninjutsu, instantly separating the Uchiha clan's ninjas. Of course, there were also a few Genin who could not dodge in time and were hit by the ninjutsu, losing their combat ability or even dying.
"Everyone, don't panic. Use the Fire Escape Ninjutsu to fight. In this waterless environment, we still have the advantage.”
Qian Uchiha instantly came up with a tactical strategy. He relied on the advantage in numbers to form a counterattack. However, the reality was really as he thought. The number of ninjas from the Thousand Hands Clan was less than Uchiha's, but the opponent was almost all at the level of Chuunin. It was obvious that this battle would not be easy to fight. Although Qian Uchiha had thought of this, if he did not counterattack at this time, he would be at the mercy of others. Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and fight.
