Chapter 56: The Trap of Roots

In the dark and cold depths of the forest, it was already about one o'clock in the morning, and the three of them rushed towards their destination.

With the help of the faint moonlight, a large number of steel wires can be seen connecting large trees, forming an impermeable cobweb, waiting for the prey to fall into it.

It's not that you don't want to start from a safe place, but this is the weakest point of assault.

Further on is an important supply point for the Sand Hidden Ninja.

In other words, it is impossible to break in silently no matter what, and in such an important place, there must be a sentient ninja in charge of monitoring, and the whereabouts of the three of them are likely to have been exposed.

Cut off the cobwebs made of steel wires, and the kunai and shuriken that shot down from the dark sky were densely packed, and on the handles of some kunai, there were also detonation charms attached to them, and the corners were burning.

Bang!

Bang!

The endless bombardment caused people's eardrums to ache too.

The earth trembled, and the surrounding trees quickly burst into flames, swallowing away the silence of the night.

However, this also proves that the front is an important supply point for Sand Hidden Village, otherwise there would not be such a well-thought-out defensive trap, even if it was observed in advance with white eyes, it could not be avoided without movement, and could only force its way in.

"Here they are, eleven to the west, nine to the south, and seventeen to the north."

Ayane observed with her white eyes the number of ninjas who had come over to stop them from breaking through the defensive positions, thirty-seven in all.

Among them, most of them are middle ninjas, and there are a few upper ninjas who are mixed in and are the team leaders.

"Start taking the antidote."

After Shiraishi finished speaking, he swallowed the white pill in his mouth first.

Ruri and Ayane did the same, taking the antidote.

Shiraishi then took out two smoke bombs from his ninja bag and exploded in the flame-swept forest, filling the sky with gray smoke and dust for a while, even if it was useless for the ninjas of perception, it could be used to hinder the rest of the ninjas and plunge them into chaos.

"Damn, there's poison in this smoke! Hurry up and get out! ”

The well-trained Sand Hidden Ninja broke into the smoke-filled area, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, and the body began to weaken, and a painful feeling of suffocation made them dizzy, and some ninjas with low poison resistance fell directly to the ground, convulsing their bodies in pain.

"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"

Liuli's hands quickly sealed, and the chakra that was far more massive than Hao's fireball technique accumulated in his mouth, and he released it all in one go.

The waves of fire that rose into the sky crushed the trees in front of them with a overwhelming force.

In the scorching firelight, the night was rendered red as blood.

The originally cold air rose sharply, making people within the range of the sea of fire feel that their bodies are soaked in boiling water, and their skin becomes extremely hot.

Three small figures stabbed forward like lightning, believing that these greeting gifts, the Sand Hidden Ninja at the supply point probably couldn't sit still anymore.

The range of Liuli's fire escape is very large, and there are flammable trees everywhere, and using the wind to escape will fuel the fire and make the fire burn more vigorously.

These fires can only be extinguished with water, and water escape is the weakest escape technique of the Sand Hidden Ninja, and such a huge sea of fire has been completely dispersed, and the scope of the impact is far from ordinary fire escape techniques can be compared.

If you want to extinguish it with water, it is not something that can be done in a while.

Because the time to act is only ten minutes, it seems that the feint plan has worked, but how much attention can be attracted to the Sand Hidden Ninja, the three of Shiraishi can't guarantee anything, and can only do their best to complete the task.

After ten minutes, regardless of the success or failure of the mission, you must leave the battlefield.

In the fire-filled forest, there were constantly screams of terrible pain, and the battle of the Sand Hidden Army, which met the three of Shiraishi head-on, was over in a matter of raising their hands and feet.

Shiraishi played with the kunai in his hand and passed past one of the sand ninjas who rushed up, and the kunai severed his carotid artery, killing him instantly.

"Gossip Empty Palm!"

Rumble!

Ayane's palm was swung out, and it launched a chakra blast similar to an air cannon, hitting the Sand Hidden Ninja who wanted to sneak up from behind, and the opponent flew upside down in vomiting blood, breaking a tree.

This is a special long-range body technique derived from the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, and the move is invisible and colorless, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the landing point of the attack with the naked eye, and it is difficult to avoid this move if you are not a perceptual ninja.

And this ranged attack move is a reward for Ayane in the last mission.

The Hokage negotiated with the elders of the Hyuga clan, and in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Shuo Mao team, it was hoped that the Hyuga clan could teach more secret techniques of jutsu to Ayane, a member of the family.

Bagua Empty Palm is one of them.

This time the plan to attack the supply point of the sand hide, with Shiraishi and Ayane in charge of the outside, Ruri only needs to accumulate chakra, constantly release the fire escape ninjutsu to increase the scale of destruction, and attract all the attention of the sand hidden ninja, so as to open a gap in the supply point of the attack place for the people in the dark department.

The huge waves of fire spread out again, the scorching heat, the raging rolling tongues of fire, and the cold air of the forest was swept away.

As far as the eye can see, there are traces of raging flames everywhere.

And the price paid is also very large, due to the continuous use of high-level fire escape ninjutsu, the chakra in Liuli's body is rapidly consumed, it is estimated that a few more high-level fire escape techniques like this, the chakra will bottom out.

The riot here has almost reached its peak, and it needs to move forward a distance further to further expand the scale of the riot.

As we progressed deeper into the heart of the Sand Hidden Ninja, there was a stream in front of the supply point, and on the opposite side of the stream were a large number of tents, surrounded by tall trees that could be used to shelter the camp.

The fire in the forest opposite had already aroused the vigilance of the sand ninjas here, and under the effective command of the upper ninjas, the formation of the sand ninjas who were waiting here was not chaotic at all, and they were not worried because of the enemy's fierce attack.

"Is it a ninja from Konoha? Why attack here? Could it be that they have discovered the secret weapon here? ”

One of them, Shinobu Sagakure, frowned.

"If that's the case, things won't be good, you know, the human pillar can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness."

"No matter what, the matter of using the tailed beast weapon must not be leaked out in advance, and Konoha must be caught off guard!"

The eyes of many sand hidden ninjas were full of murder, and they were determined to eliminate none of the invading Konoha ninjas.

On the other side of the river, Ayane's body suddenly shuddered and stopped.

Seeing Ayane stop, Shiraishi and Ruri also stopped.

"What's wrong?"

As the eyes of the entire team, if it weren't for Ayane's white eyes, Shiraishi and Ruri would only be able to fly around like headless flies here.

"No, I don't see the warehouse where the supplies are stored, this is not a supply point for Shayin at all!"

Ayane's face turned a little pale, and she realized the seriousness of the matter.

Shuo Mao told them that the main purpose of this mission is to cut off the supply point of the sand hide, and it needs to cooperate with the dark department.

Although it was a ninja who called himself 'Root', it was also a branch of the Shadows, and they were very familiar with the process of this mission, so the three of them believed it.

However, now that Ayane had scanned the hinterland of this 'supply point' with her white eyes, she had found no warehouse to store supplies, only a large number of Sand Hidden Ninjas who were closely guarding it.

Other than that, nothing.

Whatever the reason for this place is occupied by the Sand Hidden Ninja, but not the fact that it is not a supply point, Ayane can conclude.

After listening to Ayane's words, Shiraishi and Ruri's faces also changed.

There is a problem with the mission! The idea was instantly generated in the brain.

"Let's go!"

Not daring to stop for the slightest, Baishi was the first to react, ignoring that this was a mission, this kind of thing must have an explanation.

If the mission fails because of his lack of ability, Shiraishi has nothing to refute.

But the information provided was wrong, and the mission was full of camouflage and deception, so there was no need to persist any longer.

The three of them quickly retreated, but at this time, the Sand Hidden Ninja had already arranged personnel around it, forming an impenetrable net to surround the three of Shiraishi.

……

On the top of the cliff in the distance, four ninjas of the dark 'roots' stood or sit, with the moonlight behind them as the background, looking indifferently at the riots and fires in the forest.

"The three of them are quite capable, no wonder it is too dangerous for Danzo-sama to get rid of this Uchiha's genius and let her grow up."

"At the end of the day, the Uchiha guys just can't be trusted. It's a pity for Whiteeye and that medical ninja. ”

"There's no way, but if you can wipe out the evil Uchiha ninjas, the two of them know that they will die as they deserve."

"In this way, Konoha White Fang will also have the name of an incompetent boss who can't protect his subordinates, and the next Hokage will be none other than Lord Danzo. Only Danzo-sama can make Konoha embark on a stronger path. ”

The four of them communicated word by word, believing in the 'Danzo-sama' in a fanatical manner.

Originally, they were supposed to start a suicide raid on the Sand Hidden Camp here, but now they were just watching from the sidelines, completely ignoring the ninjas in their own village who were surrounded by the enemy.

"Do you want to go now? There doesn't seem to be much to see. ”

"Wait, although I don't believe they have the ability to break out, but just in case, if they are lucky enough to have someone escape from it, we will go up and take out the survivors. We can't leave any handles, and it's also an order given to us by Lord Danzang. ”
