"etc!"
Bai Yu, who was heading towards the lookout, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Uchiha Chiho looked at Bai Yu in confusion and found that his face looked ugly.
'what happened? '
Bai Yu only felt a tightness in his chest, and a feeling of fear appeared in his heart. However, his "sixth sense" was fully activated and he did not sense any abnormal energy field nearby.
Under the pale moonlight, Bai Yu looked at the lush trees in front of him and the narrow passage among the bushes. He felt that this was a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth open, ready to bite people.
Bai Yu struggled in his heart and continued to take a few steps forward. The uncomfortable feeling became more intense.
"Let's go! Go back the way you came!"
Bai Yu gritted his teeth and turned back.
"..." Uchiha Chiho stared blankly at Bai Yu's decisive departure.
We are not far from the outpost, why did we suddenly go back the same way we came?
Uchiha Chiho glanced at the location of the watchtower, then looked at Bai Yu's back as he firmly left, pursed his lips slightly, and chased after him.
"Is this the 'extrasensory perception' described by the 'sixth sense'? "After moving away from the direction of the outpost, Bai Yu's discomfort quickly subsided, and he became increasingly certain that the place where the watchtower was located was in great danger.
If the head iron continues to move forward, it may be a sliding shovel that directly kills the person.
If we return the same way, even if we encounter an enemy, we will know it, and there is still a top powerhouse like White Fang.
...
In the bushes about 1,500 meters away from where Bai Yu was just now, Sunagakure's Jonin team was lurking here.
At this time, Kosuke's doubtful voice sounded.
"strangeness?!"
"What's wrong?"
"Why did those two ninjas suddenly return the way they came? Did they discover us? Impossible? From such a long distance, even the Byakugan can't see it, right?" Kosuke was a little confused.
His perception ability can detect chakra in a specific direction in a short period of time. If he uses his full strength to perceive, the observation distance should be farther than the ordinary Byakugan.
As one of the best perceptive ninjas in Sunagakure Village, Kosuke was very confident in his perceptual abilities. The two ninjas must not have noticed them.
"Lord Chiyou, what should we do now?"
"Change a hiding place. If no one comes yet, we will take the initiative to attack the stronghold." Chiyou said.
"Isn't this a bit risky?"
"Don't worry, I'm measured. I'll retreat immediately if I can't succeed in the attack. This mission is to create a disturbance. Shirasa, what do you say?" Chiyou looked at his wife.
Shirasa pondered for a moment and nodded: "I agree. Anyway, the three ninjas are still on the front line. The third Hokage will not leave the village easily. Now there is only one White Fang among the jounin of Konoha."
"Even if he leads the team, can he still be able to defeat the two of us if we join forces? If there are many people on the other side, we will avoid fighting." Chiyou's eyes were filled with strong confidence, "When there is chaos within the Fire Country, Yan Yan Yin's side will definitely send troops as agreed, and when Konoha fights on two fronts, it will definitely be defeated across the board."
"Let these Konoha ninjas see how powerful our puppet master is. Even without poison, they are no match!"
"Someone is coming from the other direction."
"Ready to fight!"
"yes!"
...
On the other side, after Bai Yu and Uchiha Chiho returned the same way, they met White Fang and others every so often.
It's just that there were originally 12 people in the three classes, but now after gathering, there are only 9 people left.
The three genin members of Class 17 are not here.
"Bai Yu, why did you come back?" Oshima Shuichi was obviously relieved when he saw Bai Yu.
"We ran halfway and found that there were no pursuers, so we wanted to come back to see if there were any injured who needed treatment."
Bai Yu explained.
Among the nine people, except for White Fang, who was unscathed, the others were somewhat injured, especially Sakamoto Kota, the instructor of Class 17. The bandage on his arm was leaking blood.
"Sakumo killed two jounin on the other side, and the remaining enemies have retreated, but it is not yet sure if there are other enemies." Oshima Shuichi briefly explained the situation.
"No enemies have been found yet." Hyuga Doma and Hyuga Hideto both opened their Byakugan for investigation.
"The other party is able to avoid Byakugan's observation. It is obvious that there are ninjas with very strong perception ability. Don't let down your guard." Oshima Hide said.
"yes!"
"Let's rest there for a while." Hatake Sakumo said, looking at Sakamoto Kota, "Kouta, your injury is not serious, let Bai Yu treat it first."
"Yes." Bai Yu took off the medical bag and re-treated and bandaged Sakamoto Kouta.
Everyone sat down and rested.
Hatake Sakumo frowned and said: "Judging from the number of enemy corpses left on the way, your team members should have escaped pursuit.
This place is less than five kilometers away from the outpost. According to normal time, they have already arrived at the outpost, and then notified the ninjas to come for support, but no one has arrived yet. There is a problem. "
They fought with the enemy for only ten minutes. After he killed two jounin, the enemy had already fled. It should not be a trick to lure the enemy.
"Sakumo, you don't mean to say that the outpost may have been pulled down by the enemy, do you?" Oshima showed a look of surprise.
It's not impossible. After all, their elite team has been attacked. If the enemy has another team of similar strength, paired with more powerful sensory ninjas, there is a chance to take down the outpost.
"No way?!" Sakamoto Kouta's expression changed. His students were all elites. If they were all killed in battle, the loss would be too great. But he didn't have time to feel uncomfortable. Now he had to let the village know the information about the enemy's entry as soon as possible.
This invasion is likely to be a prelude to another war between Iwagakure and Konoha.
Very bad!
"You guys recover your strength first, and I'll explore the way ahead. If I don't come back in ten minutes, you can come back to me," Hatake Sakumo said.
He was the only one in the group who was in good condition. If he acted alone, the risk would be much higher, but he would also be more flexible.
If he had not cared about the danger to the genin just now, he would not have let the other two Iwagakure jonin go.
Even if the invading enemy is strong, he can retreat without any scruples.
"Sakumo, be careful!"
Sakamoto Kota said solemnly.
After Hatake Sakumo left, Shiroha finished treating Sakamoto Kouta.
He did not give Hatake Sakumo a medical scroll because a ninja of his level would definitely be able to obtain the [Palm Senjutsu Scroll] even if he was performing a B-level inspection mission this time.
Later, Bai Yu took out the [Healing Scroll] from the storage scroll and distributed it to others.
"Everyone take two. I make a lot of these scrolls."
Everyone took the time to rest, not knowing whether they would encounter danger next.
