It had been about a week since he woke up. It was unknown whether it was due to his own recovery ability or the high level of Kiha's medical ninjutsu, but the wound on his chest had mostly healed and had long since formed a scar.
"Alright then, meet up with Lord Orochimaru in half an hour. He will assign you your specific tasks.”Lin didn't waste any more words and walked out of Xuan Zang's tent. He still had other tasks, so he came here to remind Xuan Zang.
"Got it." Watching Uchiha Lin walk out, Genzou also fell into deep thought.
This counterattack mission was actually quite dangerous. Sayin would have expected this, but this was the ninja's world. Nothing was absolutely safe.
"Tsk!" He walked to the side and hung his katana on his waist. He wore a high-collared top from the Uchiha family and a pair of ninja pants. He packed the ninja tools he needed and walked out.
They had boiled beef for lunch. Although it didn't taste very good, it was sufficient. It was still sunny outside, but the temperature wasn't high, even though it was already summer.
Stepping into the camp, Xuan Zang saw the cruelty of this war. He could see all kinds of wounded people in many places. Most of them had cold faces, making themselves look even stronger.
He wasn't too tall, but he was walking through the camp. He was dressed in the uniform of the Uchiha family, young, and had a sword at his waist. Many people recognized him. He was a ninja with strength and potential! Ever since that mission, Xuan Zang had gained some fame.
"Xuan Zang!" A loud and clear voice sounded, making Xuan Zang stop and look in the direction of the voice.
Hyuga Tree! It turned out that the members of the team were also members of the Hinata family.
He saw that Hyuga was wearing a grayish-white ninja costume, and the wooden leaf forehead protector was neatly worn on his forehead.
"It's the Hyuga Tree! Long time no see." After all, they were teammates who had gone through life and death together. Xuan Zang greeted them with a smile, which made people who saw him feel a trace of warmth and intimacy.
"Where is Xuan Zang going? I've only seen you for the first time in so many days. Have you recovered from your injuries? I heard that your injuries were worse than ours that day. It's all thanks to you that our team survived!”As soon as Hinata opened his mouth, he couldn't stop. His face was full of admiration for Xuan Zang and lingering fear of that battle.
"Mission!" Xuan Zang didn't want to say anything more. He touched the saber at his waist. The first rule of the ninja was to keep the mission a secret!
"I'm almost fully recovered. How about you? Have you recovered? What about Captain Chuan Mu and the others?”Xuan Zang asked in a friendly manner.
"Oh, oh, I'm almost fully recovered. I'm about to join a team to continue my mission. As for Captain Chuan Mu, I heard that he applied to return to the village to recuperate.”Hikari crossed his hands behind his head and spoke to Genzang in a relaxed manner.
Hearing Hyuga's reply, the image of the middle-aged ninja appeared in Genzo's mind. His face was full of caution, and he was full of desire to live during the last battle.
"It's good to go back to the village." Xuan Zang whispered.
"Oh, right, Morning Hall Liu seems to have started a new mission a long time ago. I saw him a few days ago.”Hinata Tree slapped his head and shouted in realization.
"Alright, let's talk next time. I'm going over." He patted Hyugi's arm and sped up, heading toward the gathering point for the mission.
……
Looking at the familiar uncle in front of him, Xuan Zang realized that the world was still quite small.
Moonlight Masano stood in front of Xuan Zang and Zuo Mu, stroking his beard that had been growing for a long time.
"The specific mission is clear now. Next, it depends on how our team moves.”
Before this, Genzang had come to Orochimaru's tent and listened to their mission with nearly twenty people. Then, everyone was divided into groups according to the arrangement of one, one, and two. Genzang was assigned to Moonlight Masano's team.
"Our team is inclined towards physical techniques. This mission is still very advantageous for us.”Masano looked at the katana on Genzo's waist and the katana on the ninja's back.
Sasaki was a commoner, but his sword skills originated from the Kihaba Ryu, because he was a student of Moonlight Masano and was only 15 or 16 years old.
The few of them sat together, and Masano took out a simple map with a rough outline of the terrain.
"Look at this! Our team will have to go around to the back of the sand ninja from here. The distance is relatively long, and it's the deepest part of the infiltration team, so the danger should be the greatest. Don't pin your hopes on the assistance of other teams. The possibility of this is very small. We can only rely on ourselves in this mission!”Moonlight Masano said earnestly, his tone unprecedentedly serious.
After looking around, Masano put away the map and said,"Prepare to depart!" Xuan Zang nodded.
The three of them quietly left the camp with the necessary supplies.
According to Captain Masano's plan, they needed to sneak in from the left side of the front line of the sand. There were sand dunes there, which were suitable for hiding. Similarly, it was also suitable for an ambush. Opportunity and risk existed together!
"Rustle! Rustle!" The three of them slowly moved forward under the night sky. It was night time when they arrived at the sand dune area from the camp. Captain Masano had calculated everything. It was indeed more suitable to sneak in at night.
Although they were all ninjas, they would leave footprints in the sand. Fortunately, the wind quickly covered up the footprints.
"Be careful, don't be careless!" Moonlight Masano gestured to convey his meaning. With the help of the moonlight, the two people behind him saw it.
The temperature in the desert at night was extremely low, especially near Shayin! The temperature difference between day and night was also huge. Not far away from the Xuan Zang Team, there was a group of people patrolling. Looking at the forehead protectors on their foreheads, they were all sand ninjas!
"Captain, I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. They asked us to patrol here.”A man rubbed his hands and kept talking to another man walking in front.
The man in front had half of his face covered by a gray cloth. His expression was very serious, as if patrolling was his most important thing.
This was a team of four, all of whom were Chunin.
"Shut up. If Muye's men want to bypass the front line and sneak into our rear, this is an excellent position. Patrol well and don't let Muye's men take advantage of the gap!”The team leader scolded the ninja who had been chattering non-stop, and the team immediately fell silent.
On the other side, Xuan Zang and the others narrowly avoided a group of sunin and successfully advanced one step behind them.
The sandstorm continued to hit Xuan Zang's face, but he lay there motionless like a corpse. Xuan Zang ignored the scorpions that had been showing off around his nose for a long time, and in the end, he had no choice but to crawl away quickly. A thick layer of yellow sand had already covered his body. Xuan Zang's eyes were fixed in a certain direction.
The sunin defeated by Xuan Zang had confessed everything he knew after being captured. Xuan Zang was now guarding the grain route that the sunin had told him.
The wind whistled. This was the hinterland of the sand ninja, and danger lurked everywhere!
A few black shadows appeared in the distance, running quickly on the sand. The sandstorm did not affect them much.
Xuan Zang narrowed his eyes and focused on those figures, as if he wanted to see through their strength.
"Rustle! Rustle!" The figure was getting closer and closer, but Xuan Zang was still motionless, as if he had become a part of the desert. There were a total of nine people in this group, and the leaders seemed to be two Jounins. Xuan Zang knew that his team had no confidence in keeping these people.
He looked at the opposite side of the sand dune and found Captain Masano based on the location in his memory.
Masano pressed his hand down slightly and then stopped moving.
Suppressing his own breath and shrinking his chakra, Xuan Zang tried his best to reduce his presence to the minimum.
This was already the second day after they had infiltrated the base. The Mysterious Treasure Squad had only managed to ambush a supply convoy once. It was a supply convoy with one Jounin and four Chuounins.
