"Further forward is the dangerous area. An encounter may occur at any time. The three of you have excellent grades in the ninja school. I won't go into details. Next, I will be responsible for the sudden advance. Hitomi and Katsu, you two, don't leave Miaoyin. Too far, even if there seems to be no danger around."
After a pause, Hatake Sakumo continued: "If there is an unavoidable battle, Hitomi you will be responsible for fighting and Katsu will be responsible for protecting, is that okay?"
"yes!"
The three of them responded in unison.
Uchiha Hitomi's eyes flashed with excitement. She was very satisfied with Hatake Sakumo's arrangement, even if the captain asked her to do the assault position without any hesitation.
After about twenty minutes of rest, Sakumo's team set out again.
Everyone was in high spirits, not as casual as before.
"Ahead at eleven o'clock, about 1,200 meters away, there are six Sunagakure ninjas ambushing there!"
Suddenly, Myon Fujiwara, who activated the sensory ninjutsu, reminded, "Wait a minute, they seem to have discovered us by some means. Two Sunagakure ninjas stayed behind to cut off the rear, and the others are moving away!"
"Chase!"
Without a word of nonsense, Hatake Sakumo suddenly sped up and ran at high speed in the direction prompted by Fujiwara Myon.
The distance of more than a thousand meters was reached in an instant, and both sides could see each other.
The two Sunagakure ninjas who had been left behind rushed towards Hatake Sakumo with some determination.
However, Hatake Sakumo ignored them at all. A teleportation technique appeared behind them and chased the other four escaping Sunagakure ninjas.
Tear!
I saw a flash of sword light, and soon there was the sound of flesh and blood being ripped apart. It was the sound of sharp blades splitting flesh and bones.
The two Sunagakure ninjas who planned to break off could only see the flash of silver swords, and then their four companions became cold corpses, with broken limbs scattered all over the ground.
Suddenly the liver and gallbladder are split!
They instantly lost their will to fight and fled in the opposite direction from Hatake Sakumo, and in this direction, they happened to be facing Kurono Masaru and the others.
Fujiwara Mirone warned nervously: "Be careful, there are two enemies rushing towards you right in front!"
"Don't worry, this should be something that Mr. Sakumo specially left for us to practice on. Don't be nervous." Kurono Masaru said calmly, and then turned his head to look at Hitomi Uchiha, "Leave it to you, Hitomi."
"Hmph, this kind of lost dog that can only run away is not even qualified to please me."
Hitomi Uchiha showed a disdainful smile and quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Fire escape! Fire extinguishes!"
The two Sunagakure ninjas who fled in panic had no time to dodge when they saw the overwhelming flames.
In an instant, it was roasted into charcoal in the fierce fire. If you smell it carefully, you can even smell a hint of the scorched aroma of the meat.
Xuanye Sheng: ...Yaoshou, Fire Release finally kills someone!
…
…
As the mission was carried out, Sakumo's team gradually became more familiar with each other and became familiar with the various procedures for executing the mission.
In one week, they encountered three waves of enemies.
Most of these Sunagakure ninjas are at the chuunin level, but the latest time they encountered a jounin.
However, ordinary jounin were still not worthy of attention in front of Hatake Sakumo. They were just like those chuunin and genin miscellaneous fish, and were easily killed in less than three rounds.
This also made Xuanye Sheng and the others understand that the strength gap between jounin and jounin could be so big.
No, it should be said that classifying Hatake Sakumo to the jounin level is the most unreasonable, right?
An open space in the country of fire.
The four of them gathered around a bonfire to keep warm. The flames dispelled the surrounding darkness and brought a little warmth.
"Your performance has been very good these past few days, and your cooperation has become more and more tacit. I even wonder if you are newcomers who have just carried out the mission."
Hatake Sakumo held a piece of barbecue in his hand and said with appreciation, "But we can't relax. We haven't really encountered the special forces in the intelligence yet."
"We have nothing to be proud of. Most of the enemies were eliminated by Mr. Sakumo alone."
Xuanye Sheng took a sip of water from the kettle and said with a smile.
Even a jounin can be killed in an instant, let alone those trash fish below jounin level?
If Hatake Sakumo hadn't deliberately wanted the team members to practice their skills, Kurono Katsu and the others probably wouldn't have even had a chance to fight.
"Hahaha, don't say that. As a newcomer, you are already very good."
Hatake Sakumo said seriously, without any exaggeration.
When he was leading the team, there was a newcomer who chose to act impulsively because he was so happy with his achievements and longed for recognition. Not only did he almost lose his life, but he also almost killed his teammates.
Making mistakes is a common problem for every newcomer, but Xuanye Sheng and the three of them have no rookie roughness at all.
Even Hitomi Uchiha, who is aloof and arrogant, can cooperate carefully and obey the arrangements when performing tasks;
Fujiwara Yone, who seems to be the weakest, always works hard with the belief that she will not make mistakes or be dragged down;
As for Kurono Katsu, although he has not performed well these days, he always gives people a feeling of being at ease...
The above is Hatake Sakumo's latest inspection experience of his three subordinates. He is very satisfied.
The night is getting darker.
Even in the Land of Fire, it is a wilderness after all, and someone needs to keep vigil.
Hatake Sakumo arranged for Kurono Masaru and Uchiha Hitomi to watch the night before, and he and Fujiwara Myon to watch the night after.
No one has any objection to this.
After a while, Hatake Sakumo and Fujiwara Myon fell into sleep.
For ninjas performing missions in the wild, ensuring adequate sleep and replenishing energy and stamina is also a science. They can sleep when they want, rest when they want, and quickly enter the fighting state during battle.
(If I were the author, I would probably be able to do this all night under the covers with my cell phone in my hand.)
Kurono Masaru and Uchiha Hitomi came to a higher position with a wider view and began to keep vigil.
Xuanyesheng leaned against a thick tree trunk, feeling the evening breeze blowing gently on his cheeks, and the bangs in front of his forehead were slightly swaying in the wind.
Enjoying this rare moment of silence.
After a while, Hitomi Uchiha was the first to break the silence. She said, "How long do you think it will take for us to complete this mission?"
Xuanye Sheng raised his head and looked at the bright moon, and mused: "It should be soon. As we go deeper, the strength of the Sunagakure ninja is getting stronger and stronger. I estimate that we will encounter those special forces soon." ”
"Hmph, I hope they don't disappoint me. I feel like my fighting spirit is deteriorating because they keep cleaning up some trash fish."
Hitomi Uchiha was a little dissatisfied and said that in her opinion, fighting at this level was not as effective as actual sparring with Kurono Masaru.
