Although Kato Daren was unwilling, he obviously could not oppose Lord Naruto's arrangements. Moreover, compared to the rescue mission that he had to carry out, he could not be 'willful'.
Therefore, Kato Den had no choice but to accept this fact. He brought Okami, Orochimaru, and Kimi to bid farewell to Little Silent and the rest and set off for the Country of Rain.
In order to save time, they didn't take the main road. After leaving the village, they entered a dense forest. They used the movement method unique to ninjas to quickly shuttle through the forest.
According to the information, Sunset True Red and the others were captured in a place called " Sharp Rock Valley " in the Country of Rain. Their destination was there, but they weren't sure if the enemy was still there. They could only wait and see.
They set off in the morning and rested for a while at noon. When the sky turned dark, they entered the Country of Rain and found a relatively hidden place to rest in a cave.
The four of them started a fire in the cave and ate the dry rations they carried with them. Kato Duan took out a map and looked at it, saying,"If nothing goes wrong, we will reach our destination tomorrow afternoon. Everyone, have a good rest tonight. We will take turns to keep watch.”
Everyone was an experienced Jounin, so they naturally had no objections to this basic arrangement.
……
It was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet. There was only the faint sound of rain outside. It was said that it rained all year round in the Country of Rain, and there was almost no time for it to stop.
Inside the cave, Kato Duanbei was sleeping with his back against the wall of the cave. Okami was right beside him. The fire in front of him had basically been extinguished. Perhaps it was a little cold, but half of Okami's body instinctively leaned against Kato Duanbei.
On the other side, Mu Mu hugged his hands and lowered his head, snoring.
Outside the cave, Orochimaru was keeping vigil.
Suddenly, the sleeping Kato Den opened his eyes and turned to look at the cave wall beside him. There was a talisman stuck there, and at this moment, this talisman was emitting a special fluctuation that only he could feel!
[Warning Rune: After use, it can form a warning circle with a range of 300 meters. Once an enemy invades, it will trigger an alarm. The alarm effect will be ineffective after being triggered once.]
Even though there were people keeping watch, Kato Duan still prepared an extra trick. Before the break, he had already taken out this prop for double insurance.
Unexpectedly, there was actually an accident that triggered the alarm talisman!
" There's a situation!!" Kato Den instantly lost all sleepiness. He immediately shook Tsunete awake and called out to wake Kime up.
" What happened?!" Okami and Kimi reacted quickly, instantly waking up and entering a state of preparation.
" There might be enemies!" Kato Duan said in a deep voice." Everyone, be careful!" Get out first!"
Orochimaru was leaning against a tree next to the cave entrance. He seemed to be in a daze as he looked into the distance. When he noticed the movement behind him, he turned around and saw Kato Den and the others coming out. He couldn't help but ask in surprise," You guys…huh?!"
Before he could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked at the darkness in front of him.
"Rustle, rustle…"
Immediately after, they heard a faint sound coming from the other side. Everyone looked at each other and prepared to fight.
However, the person didn't seem to be fast, and the commotion was a little loud. It seemed like he didn't want to hide at all. Also, judging from the sound, there should be only one person.
Just as everyone was wondering, they saw a figure rush out from the bushes in front of them. However, he looked very sorry. He even fell to the ground as soon as he appeared.
Seeing this person, the expressions of Kato Duan and the others changed slightly. Mu Mu exclaimed,"Fujino!"
Mu Mu had already rushed out and helped the person who had fallen to the ground up.
It turned out that this person was actually a Ninja from Muye! Moreover, it seemed that Mu Mu was an acquaintance.
Most importantly, he was one of the three Chuunins who were in the same group as Twilight Red!
After Mu Mu helped this person up, he checked the other party's condition and anxiously raised his head to shout,"Tsunei!"
He didn't need to say anything more. Okami had already arrived in front of him in a flash and began to examine the man's injuries and treat them.
At the same time, Orochimaru and Kato Duanji, who were standing at the side, vigilantly observed their surroundings.
Orochimaru raised his head and looked in the direction where Fujino had come from. His eyes flickered as he said,"There were a few people chasing after us, but they seemed to have noticed us and retreated. Do you want to chase after them?”
" Mm, go and take a look," Kato Duan said." If you can't catch up, then forget it. Don't go too far."”
"Alright, you're the captain. I'll listen to your orders.”Orochimaru smiled meaningfully. Before he left, he looked at Kato Den and said," I didn't know that your perception was so outstanding."”
He was obviously referring to Kato Den, who was in the cave earlier. He had actually discovered the abnormality earlier than him, who was on guard outside.
Kato Duan glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.
" Heh…" Orochimaru smiled meaningfully. Without saying anything else, he disappeared from the spot with a Blink Spell.
The three of them moved the injured Fujino into the cave. Okami treated his wounds and said,""His life is not in danger. He's just exhausted. He should wake up in a while.”
Kato Duan nodded slightly, then turned his head to look outside the cave as if he had sensed something. He saw Orochimaru walking back.
Orochimaru wore his signature 'smile', and said lightly,""The other party ran very fast and didn't catch up.”
Kato nodded and looked at Fujino on the ground." Then, let's wait for him to wake up and ask about his condition…"
