Hinata Sailing glanced at the thin figure that was vaguely protected in the center of the team, and sighed softly.
If there is anyone in this team who is the least vigilant, it is undoubtedly Hinata Hoteru, a member of the Hyuga clan who is walking in the center of the team.
This is the first time Hinata Hoteru has gone to the front line since becoming a genin.
From his curious eyes and excited expression, it can be seen that he has never experienced the baptism of war.
In this war, the Hyuga clan sent many branch members, and Hyuga Hoteru was one of the few clan members, and was one of the bargaining chips that the representatives of the Hyuga clan valued.
After looking away from Hinata Hoteru, Hyuga Sailing carefully looked at her fellow ninjas.
Among the twelve people in the group, except for one Jonin from the Hyuga branch, the middle-aged ninja who led the team was also a Jonin, and the rest were a combination of Chuunin and Genin.
Generally speaking, this team is quite capable of fighting. Unless they encounter an ambush team composed entirely of Jonin, they should not encounter any casualties along the way.
In fact, their team's luck is really good.
There was no trouble along the way and we arrived at the border post smoothly.
After entering the outpost, the twelve-man team was split into four groups and divided into various combat teams.
Four members of the Hyuga clan were completely dispersed in order to maximize their investigative role.
This also means that the young master of the clan does not have the personal protection of the jounin of the branch clan, and needs to ask for his own blessings.
However, scout ninjas who generally serve as scouts rarely face direct combat as long as they are cautious and calm enough.
Even if an enemy is discovered, he will report it to his teammates immediately without taking risks and attack immediately.
Hinata Sailing was eventually assigned to the team of a middle-aged jounin.
Although the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind are not bordering each other, they are separated by small countries and villages such as the Country of Sichuan and the Country of Rain. However, these small countries have no real isolation effect.
Small countries: ...do I not want to lose face? !
The daily task of Hinata Sailing's team is to patrol near the border, annihilate all the enemy's scout troops that have infiltrated, and prevent the leakage of our own intelligence.
The area they are responsible for is about a 40-kilometer border. One end of the outpost camp is an endless forest, and the other end is an endless sea of sand.
In this way, Hinata Sailing began the boring days of patrolling back and forth between the forest sea and the desert.
At night, staring at the brilliant starry sky in the sky, Hinata Sailing will think, what is Katsu-kun doing at this time?
The peaceful days did not last long. On the second day alone, Hinata Sailing's team encountered a scout team from Sunagakure Village!
It was an ordinary quiet afternoon.
Everyone who was running through the woods heard Hinata Sailing's warning.
"Wait! At two o'clock ahead, about 1,800 meters away, there are a total of eight Sunagakure ninjas ambushing there. Three of them are hiding behind trees, two are hiding in the grass, and three are hiding underground. ."
Hinata Sailing, who kept her Byakugan open, immediately shared the information her Byakugan observed with her teammates.
"Follow up."
The leading middle-aged Jonin's eyes flashed, and his pace suddenly accelerated. The rest of the team members speeded up in unison, and all rushed towards the two o'clock direction pointed by Hinata Sailing.
Byakugan is a super killer on the battlefield. All ambushes and hidden under these eyes are like being exposed to the sun, with nothing to hide.
The distance of 1,800 meters was not far, and within a few minutes everyone reached the enemy's ambush circle.
"Captain, should we discuss it..."
Just as Hinata Sailing was about to say something, she saw the middle-aged jounin make a gesture and then disappear using the teleportation technique. At the same time, several other team members also started to act in cooperation with tacit understanding.
Under the Byakugan detection, only ninjutsu and sword flashes were seen, and the chakra reactions of the seven Sunagakure ninjas disappeared directly, turning into cold corpses.
The last Sunagakure ninja panicked and fled towards the location of Hinata Sailing. He was frightened to death.
It was clearly an ambush, but why did the enemy seem to be seeing through it?
Subconsciously, he ran towards Hinata Sailing, who seemed to be the youngest and least threatening. If he defeated this brat, he might still have a chance to survive.
The white eyes under the goggles were calm, showing no signs of panic.
Looking at the enemy rushing toward her, Hinata Cailing sighed slightly.
[This guy must have been deliberately let go by the captain for me to practice. It’s such a touching teammate friendship... But this guy picked me as a breakthrough point, and he was really underestimated. 】
Bang!
While running away in panic, Sunagakure still did not forget to throw a smoke bomb from his ninja bag, intending to disturb the line of sight, take the opportunity to kill Hinata Sailing, and hide himself to seek a chance of survival.
Unfortunately, even in the smoke, his movements were still clearly seen by Hinata Sailing's white eyes, and any movement and even the flow of chakra were completely understood!
Hinata Sailing stood still, her index and middle fingers together, with a thin layer of chakra blade condensed on them.
In Sunagakure's view, this little Konoha ninja must have faced an enemy for the first time and was already frightened.
He held the kunai horizontally in his hand, intending to make a cut on the other's slender and white neck, and then leave gracefully.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is indeed cruel.
Only a scream was heard, and the Sunagakure ninja froze, looking at his chest with splitting eyes.
At some point, Hinata Sailing's two fingers were like sharp blades, piercing into the enemy's chest.
Immediately afterwards, a destructive chakra flow twisted in the Sunagakure ninja's body, and the huge impact instantly strangled the Sunagakure ninja's heart.
When Hinata Cai Ling pulled out her fingers from the opponent's chest with an expressionless face, there was only a layer of chakra wrapped on it, without a drop of blood on it.
"Uh...uh!"
The Sunagakure ninja's eyeballs almost burst out and were covered with bloodshot eyes. His face was hideous and terrifying, twisted in pain. He seemed to have endured some unimaginable pain before he died.
Finally, he knelt on his knees, and then his whole body fell to the ground, completely turning into a cold corpse.
The middle-aged Jonin who witnessed the whole process was shocked. He originally wanted to use this Sunagakure to test the strength of his new team members, and at the same time let the opponent practice their skills and see blood.
After all, there is no chance to experience life-and-death combat in a ninja school.
But what he didn't expect was that Hinata Sailing's performance would be so mature and amazing!
one strike!
He completely killed a Sunagakure ninja instantly!
[It seems that this new member of my team is also a genius. 】
The middle-aged Jonin sighed slightly in his heart.
