Chapter 219
Onoki used the Earth-Style·Deep listening technique to discover the traces of the enemy who was spying on him just now, and he didn’t talk nonsense. He continued to hand seal with both hands to control Ninjutsu and lock down the enemy’s footsteps. .
After completely locking the sound source information, Onoki sighed slightly and continued to control the flow of chakra inside the big ear.
With Chakra Control in Onoki's hand, only the giant earth-rock ear on the ground began to squirm and deform, and soon split into three normal-sized, very delicate ear models.
Then Onoki waved his hand, and a Hidden Stone Jonin with an animal mask had been prepared next to him. He stepped forward and bent over and picked up the ear model condensed by three exquisite earth and rocks.
Earth-Style · Since the art of hearing can detect the enemy, it can certainly be used to track the enemy.
These three normal-sized ear models are split from the big one, which is equivalent to the clone with that big ear. It can receive the sound of this big ear from a long distance, which is convenient for Hidden Stone ninja to send more Support team, used to encircle and suppress the tracking enemy.
Onoki raised his head and glanced at the mountain top more than ten kilometers away, and then said ordered: "The enemy has three people, and the old man is probably Konoha’s elite spy scouts. Quickly send people to pursue them. Don’t Let them escape!"
"Yes, Tsuchikage sama!"
The Hidden Stone Jonin promised, one-knee kneels moved towards Onoki gave a bow, and then another Body Flicker Jutsu disappeared in front of Onoki's eyes, and disappeared with him, as well as several other Hidden Stone ninjas wearing various animal masks around the Tsuchikage flag.
In order to ensure that he caught the enemy who was investigating him just now, Onoki sent a team of Hidden Stone Anbu Elite directly under his command.
After watching the disappearance of several Anbu subordinates, Onoki's short body floated and flew again, continuing the inspection work of Hidden Stone great camp that was interrupted just now. Soon, the group of Hidden around Tsuchikage. Stone ninja disappeared after Onoki.
After a long time, the Hidden Stone great camp returned to quiet, and the raised Tsuchikage flag still fluttered in the wind, making a violent noise, except for a huge earth-rock pinch on the ground. The synthetic ears are no different from before.
No, there are three more clear and audible footsteps around the flag.
Although Onoki is gone, his Ninjutsu is still maintaining it. With the chakra content he left in the earth and stone ears, he just spied on his enemies, trying to escape the encirclement and chasing of Hidden Stone Anbu. , Is not too easy.
-------------------------------------
Coincidentally, at this time, taking advantage of the rare sunny day of Land of Rain, Kato Yukaze was also doing the same job as Onoki. He was personally carrying a team of Konoha Ninja, patrolling one by one along the northern defensive line of Konoha. Inspection of.
Although Hidden Stone's large forces did not invade the land of Fire under Onoki's strict orders, they did not really do nothing.
Strictly speaking Onoki doesn't want to invade the land of Land of Fire, he just doesn't want Hidden Stone to invade the land of Land of Fire before his ally Hidden Sand.
Even in the eyes of Onoki of wily old fox, Hidden Sand is just a superficial ally of their Hidden Stone, he will also let the Hidden Stone ninja unit of the frontline behave as an ally should be, and put on a ready look It is necessary to invade the land of the Land of Fire.
On acting skills, Onoki, who is almost half a hundred years old, is not at all inferior to the youngster in Ninja World. It does not have the honest and honest energy of ordinary Stone Ninja. He will definitely not let him The barbarians in the desert noticed that their Hidden Stone was in leech.
On the northern front, although Hidden Stone’s large forces were stationed on the borders of Land of Rain and Land of Fire, they did not move, but under Onoki’s superb acting command, Hidden Stone would also attack from time to time. Konoha Ninja's defensive line launched some small raids.
In short, Hidden Stone’s large force was under the command of Onoki, an old fox. Although the front did not push one step further forward, the pressure on the northern line of Konoha was enough. .
Kato Yukaze led the troops drawn from the Western Front. After arriving at the frontline of the Northern Front, most of his energy was spent coping with Hidden Stone's offensive and supervising various defenses on the defensive line.
Onoki's superb acting skills do not know if they have deceived their ally Hidden Sand. Anyway, they deceived Kato Yukaze, at least when Kato Yukaze just took over the defensive line of the northern line.
The order Kato Yukaze received was to keep Hidden Stone’s army from outside the borders of Land of Fire. After he organized and stabilized Konoha’s defensive line, after a period of The battle of the troops has vaguely noticed that Hidden Stone's offensive seems to be much weaker than before.
Although Kato Yukaze senses something is wrong, he is not the roundworm in Onoki's stomach. I don't know the specific reason why Hidden Stone's offensive has become weak.
But to do your defensive preparations on the defensive line, and be ready to resist the invasion of the Hidden Stone troops at any time is the right thing to do.
As for Kato Yukaze's intention to counterattack Hidden Stone's position, the plan to drag the northern front to the Land of Rain border again will certainly not be easily given up.
But if you want to counterattack Hidden Stone, it is better to defend yourself first.
For example, just like ordinary person fighting with fist, every time you close your fist and parry is for the next easier attack.
Kato Yukaze must first establish Konoha's existing defensive line before discussing the counterattack plan. After all, behind him is the vast and fertile plain of Land of Fire.
There are countless ordinary Land of Fire commoners living on it. Once the mainland is slaughtered by a large-scale war, it will definitely deal a serious blow to Konoha.
This period of time after the full outbreak of Second Shinobi World War, what kind of life ordinary commoners in Land of Rain are like, Kato Yukaze's heart is perfectly clear.
While Kato Yukaze is patrolling the position with his trusted aide team, he keeps thinking about all kinds of things on the northern line, and he can open the soul induction at any time. Behind his team, a Konoha Ninja hurriedly ran towards his position.
Kato Yukaze came to Konoha Ninja. He was a Jonin from Inuzuka Clan. He was older than his own age. According to his generation, his discipline Inuzuka Hana should be called eldest uncle. This time One of the Konoha Jonin who was transferred from the Western Front to support the Northern Front, swallowed was one of the Chief-In-Charge of the Northern Scout Force appointed by Kato Yukaze.
Picked a straight sword eyebrow slightly, Kato Yukaze waited for Inuzuka Hana's eldest uncle, wondering if Hidden Stone started to attack which defensive line again.
"Kato sama! Hidden Stone's urgent information."
"Say."
"Before the suspected Third-Tsuchikage Onoki personally visited the North Line frontline information, just got a report from a team of elite scouts, the news is confirmed!"
Kato Yukaze looked serious when he heard Onoki's name, and asked, "Where are the scouts who have found out about the information? Come with you?"
"No, the information was passed back through our clan's Ninken using reverse Summoning Justu."
Inuzuka Hana's eldest uncle spoke to Kato while speaking. Yukaze presented an information scroll, and at the same time began to report in detail.
"Onoki...the art of super light and heavy rock, Particle-Style..."
A short stature, with a large garlic nose in the center of his face, can fly freely. The image of a grumpy old man appeared in Kato Yukaze's mind.
Kato Yukaze listened to the report from his subordinates, flipped through the scroll in his hand, and flashed through the information information of Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki in his mind, analyzing whether the weakening of the frontline Hidden Stone was related to Onoki's presence in the frontline.
"Is it that Hidden Stone is about to launch a large-scale attack on Konoha's defensive line? That's why Onoki is on the front line?"
Kato Yukaze's first reaction was Hidden Stone's large forces are brewing plans to attack the Konoha defensive line.
"...Our scout team, after finding out that Onoki is indeed in the great camp of Hidden Stone, has already retreated immediately and should be back soon. After they come back, I will make arrangements They came over to report to Kato sama in person for more specific information."
Before Kato Yukaze figured out why Onoki came to the frontline, Inuzuka Hana's words interrupted his contemplation.
Kato Yukaze heard this and looked down at the information scroll in his hand.
"At a distance of kilometers away from Hidden Stone great camp, I saw Sandaime Onoki's silhouette appearing in Hidden Stone great camp through Hyuga Clan's Byakugan · Telescopic Eye Technique..."
A detailed line of text was brought into Kato Yukaze's eyes. Before, his attention was focused on Onoki. Now his eyes are fixed on the words "a dozen kilometers away".
Kato Yukaze doesn’t know what Onoki’s limit sensing distance for danger is. Taking into account his own situation, he feels that a distance of more than ten kilometers is for a veteran Kage Level expert, or the strength of Kage Level in the Peak period For experts, it is not too far away.
-------------------------------------
Patter, patter, patter...
This is the sound of footsteps and rain falling on the earth.
The weather in Land of Rain really means that when it changes, it used to be a clear and sunny sky with a clear cloudless sky. It is only then that not very long time has passed, and the patter of rain pours from the sky again. Come down.
In a dense place, the Konoha three people scout team who had previously withdrawn was rushing fast.
The last of the team, Aburame Yuren, took advantage of the gap between running, reached out and wiped the rain from his hair, looked up at the rain screen in front of him, and estimated the distance between his team and the Konoha defensive line in front of him.
Aburame Yuren and their three people team are being hunted down by Hidden Stone’s Assassination Team. Actually, they were bitten by Hidden Stone’s Anbu as early as their three people withdrawing that hiding place was not very long. Tail.
Hyuga Kenme carries Inuzuka Taro in front, and Aburame Yuto is behind. As the battle partner Ninken is not by his side, Inuzuka Taro’s fighting strength has gone for a short time. In the previous pursuit, he suffered serious injury. .
Aburame Yuren and the three people have been running away for a while, no matter how they change the escape route, they can't get rid of the enemy behind their ass.
How the team's location information is exposed, Aburame Yuren doesn't know, he only knows that they are about to be overtaken by the enemy.
"The enemy is catching up, we can't get rid of them!"
Aburame Yuren raised his hand again and wiped the rain off his face, shouting at the two teammates in front .
Fortunately, the sunglasses Yuren Aburame is wearing are specially waterproof. Now the rain cannot affect his vision
"hu hu...the enemy is still behind us How far?"
Captain Hyuga's eyesight, because he is carrying his teammate Inuzuka Taro, his voice sounds a little gasp for breath.
Aburame Youren didn’t answer first. Instead, while running, he concluded a complicated hand seal with both hands. He tried his best to mobilize the chakra in the body during the high-speed running. He felt that he was left on the way to retreat. Parasitic Insects.
Aburame Yuren will leave some special Parasitic Insects from time to time during the retreat. Those are his eyes behind him.
Slowly, after Aburame Yuto confirmed the exact distance of the enemy behind him, he said, "It's less than one kilometer."
Papa...Wow.
Hyuga Kenme, carrying Inuzuka Taro figure on his back, stopped in a relatively open place, stepped on a rain puddle, and splashed water everywhere.
The last of the team, Aburame Yuren, also stopped his fast running figure with his teammates, took out two Military Rations Pills from the Ninja Tool Pouch, swallowed one by himself, and gave it to Captain Hyuga to help his eyesight. One, and then asked:
"Will you change the direction of retreat?"
"It's useless, although I don't know how Hidden Stone locates our position, but We changed so many directions to retreat along the way, and we still couldn't get rid of the tail behind us...one, two, three..."
At this time, Hyuga's healthy face turned into the blood vessels again. Chakra Pathway has a stubborn image, and he is counting the number of enemies behind him.
"Six, seven... Counting the two people we killed and injured before, nine Hidden Stone Anbu Elites, they really saw our three people team."
p>After determining the specific number of chasing soldiers behind, Captain Hyuga hits the heart sank, knowing that his team can't be good this time.
Actually, their three people are now gone.
After less leaning, Captain Hyuga gave out orders.
"Prepare for the battle, here is not too far from our defensive line in Konoha, the distress signal has been sent out long ago, we can support them as much as possible, maybe there is a glimmer of survival... "
In fact, there is no such thing as a glimmer of survival. There is a gap of more than twice the number of people. There is also a serious injury member on the Konoha scout team. Once they are caught up by the Hidden Stone Anbu behind them, they are ten deaths. The situation without life.
"Give me an Explosive Tag," Inuzuka Taro, who was seriously injured, said weakly, "It's a pity that my Ninken is not by my side, and fortunately it is not..."
Inuzuka Taro didn’t say anything that made his teammates leave him behind, because he knew it was useless, just like he knew if the other two were injured, he wouldn’t easily leave himself. Teammates.
Aburame Yuren wearing sunglasses heard what his teammates said, but did not answer. He pulled out his Ninja Tool Pouch from behind and took out all the explosive charms inside. He originally took one out. After pondered, he took two more.
Aburame Yuto is prepared for him and Captain Hyuga. They are three people who are clan elites with clan Secret Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai. If they are captured by the enemy or the corpse is killed by the enemy after the battle If obtained, clan Secret Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai is in danger of leaking.
This is a consequence that their respective clan can't bear. It's better to blow yourself to pieces with explosive charms, maybe you can pull a Hidden Stone's Anbu Elite back before you die.
After dividing the Explosive Tag, the three people found a place to rest under a tree that was still dry. The three people did not speak any more, and the accumulated strength silently prepared for the next battle. It is also possible It was the last ninja battle in their three people's lives.
