"Zuo Mu, you guys stay here first. I'll go take a look!”
Xuan Zang glanced at Moonlight Masano who had yet to recover from the exhaustion of the chakra and Zuo Mu who was supporting Moonlight Masano and said in a low voice.
The chakra in Xuan Zang's body was like a fountain that would never dry up. The chakra that was used up would be replenished very quickly, as if it had a permanent blue buff.
Some of the minor injuries were already gone, and his condition had recovered to its peak. The task of reconnaissance naturally fell to Xuan Zang.
This oasis was not big, only a few hectares, but all the oases in Shayin were treasures and strategic resources.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Xuan Zang approached the dark place step by step. His footsteps kept changing, and his figure moved forward like a snake, maintaining an S-shaped path.
According to Xuan Zang's understanding, there shouldn't be any sand ninjas here, but it was best to be careful, especially since the team had two companions who couldn't fight.
Xuan Zang glanced around the oasis without making a sound. He kept changing his steps on the trees, jumping from tree to tree.
The trees in this oasis weren't as tall as the trees in the Fire Country. They were less than ten meters tall, but they were able to grow so tall in this desert. One couldn't help but sigh at the power of life.
It didn't take long for Xuan Zang to walk around the entire oasis. He didn't find anything unusual, so he went back to inform the other two members of the team who were still waiting outside.
"It's very safe. Go in!"
After leaving the oasis and arriving at the agreed place, Xuan Zang found Moonlight Masano and Zuo Mu.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Moonlight Masano said in embarrassment. As the captain, he was actually being taken care of by a member of his own team. The other party was just a kid who had just graduated from ninja school less than a year ago.
"Yes."
Xuan Zang responded in a barely audible voice and led the way. On the way back, he had found a place suitable for resting. It was a green area with lush trees and a pool not far away.
The team of three spent two days in this oasis. They were not seriously injured. Masano and Sasaki had almost recovered their combat strength. The recovery speed of ninjas was pretty good.
"After staying here for so long, it's time to prepare to go out and continue the mission!”
Moonlight Zhengye leaned against a tree and said to the two people a few meters away. At this moment, Zuo Mu was seriously wiping his ninjato, while Xuan Zang was sitting cross-legged on a piece of sand with his ninjato resting on his legs.
"The duration of the mission is 10 days, and it has been almost 5 days. Once the captain has recovered, we can go out and find something for Sunin to do!”
In the past two days, there had been ninjas who had come to this oasis to investigate, but none of them had noticed the people from Xuan Zang's team. It was impossible for the sand ninjas to send out all their combat strength to find the Koba Ninjas who had infiltrated the rear. The most important thing was the battle at the front line!
"My body is almost rusted. I'll rush to the target for the mission in the last few days!”
Moonlight Masano stretched his arms and shook his head. The blade on his back was shining.
……
"Matthew died just like that. Are Muye's ninjas that terrifying?!”
This was a meeting room in Hidden Sand Village. The people sitting here were all senior officials of Hidden Sand Village. The one who spoke was an old man.
"This is still our Sanin's territory!”
Finally, the old man knocked on the table.
"Judging from the scene, it's a Lightning Escape Ninja. That kind of lethality is not the known Leaf Ninja.”
A relatively young man in his forties spoke in a low voice. His expression was extremely gloomy.
"Find a way to find them and leave them in the desert!”
Another old female voice sounded, filled with killing intent.
"No one can kill our people in Sanin's territory and leave unscathed!”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he walked out of the room, leaving behind a few higher-ups whose faces could not be seen.
……
"How many is this?"
Moonlight Masano killed the last enemy and turned around to say to Genzo, who was standing not far away and stepping on the corpse of a Sanin.
"This is the third team today. It seems that the sand can no longer tolerate us and has begun to send people to surround and attack us.”
After pulling out the sword from the enemy's body, Zuo Mu smiled slightly, his face stained with blood.
After a few days of battle, Sasaki had started to grow. He could easily defeat ordinary Chuunins. Indeed, the battlefield was the best place to train people. Only in the midst of life and death could a person truly grow!
This was the fourth day after the Xuan Zang team left the oasis. They decided to leave today and return to Muye!
In the past few days, relying on their strong combat power and high mobility, Xuan Zang and the others had been roaming around behind Sha Yin, helping him find a lot of things to do.
It was precisely because of this that many Shinobu kept coming for Xuan Zang and the others. However, the difference in strength was too great, and they could only be regarded as sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
The desert was so big that Shayin could only cast a wide net. However, the strength of each team was uneven. It was almost impossible to win against a team with double Jounin strength like Genzang's!
"Let's retreat. If this continues, Sunin will split his main force from the front line to pursue us.”
Moonlight Masano said seriously. He was afraid that Xuan Zang would get mad and refuse to leave, so he reminded him.
"Then let's leave and go back to hand in the mission!”
Xuan Zang also readily agreed. It was indeed not a wise choice to continue staying behind the enemy lines. It was time to retreat.
"Return the way we came! Be alert!"
Masano nodded.
Zuo Mu basically had no say in such matters. As the lowest limit of the team's strength, he could only follow the other two teammates.
The desert was filled with yellow sand, and the hot wind blew across the desert. Running in such an environment, the scorching temperature made everyone sweat profusely.
"In front of us is the sand dune we came from. After crossing it, we will be able to leave the range of Sha Yin's strength!”
Zuo Mu wiped the sweat off his forehead and said in a relaxed tone. Along the way, the sand-like ninjas seemed to have given up on searching for the Koba Ninjas who had infiltrated the area. They did not encounter a single group of sand-like ninjas.
"Be careful, Zuo Mu."
Masano said. He could tell that Zuo Mu was unhappy with his attitude. Then, he looked at the vigilant Xuan Zang.
"Wait a minute!"
Xuan Zang didn't seem to hear their conversation. He waved his hand and stopped them.
Xuan Zang's sensitivity to chakras allowed him to vaguely sense the nearby chakras.
Masano and Sasaki stopped in time and looked at Xuan Zang with a serious expression.
"There's a problem ahead. I hope my perception is wrong.”
Xuan Zang stared into their eyes and smiled bitterly.
"Could it be someone from the patrol team? Didn't we encounter them when we came?”
Zuo Mu thought very optimistically and then expressed his opinion.
Moonlight Masano didn't say anything. His trust in Xuan Zang made him know that the abnormality Xuan Zang was talking about wasn't something simple, but he hoped that it wasn't what he thought.
" Continue to move forward. Be careful to stay hidden!"
Moonlight Masano lowered his voice and looked into the distance. It looked like a normal sand dune. The terrain was higher than where he was. He could not see the situation there at all. His team did not have any scouting-type ninjas.
"Yes!"
Xuan Zang lowered his head and touched his waist. He was prepared for the worst.
The few of them walked forward. It was already around six in the afternoon. Night was about to fall and the sky began to darken. Such an environment was more suitable for them to slip away from the enemy's rear.
"Swoosh!"
A handful of Kunai was thrown over and landed at Moonlight Masano's feet. The few people who had been on guard all this time stopped at the same time and took a defensive stance. Looking at the direction where Ku Wu shot from, their hearts began to sink.
"Muye's ninjas, there's no need to go back since you're here.”
A cold male voice rang out, and a few figures appeared in front of him. Under the cover of the twilight, it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, but based on his perception of the chakras, Xuan Zang knew that they were not weak.
"Let's rush out!"
Masano turned his head and said to Xuan Zang and Zuo Mu.
The current situation could not be dragged out. There was only one possibility for them to be stuck here. After all, the frontline troops of the Sand Warriors were not far from here!
