Chapter 197
One year later, in a cave on the border of the Land of Thunder.
"Xiao Guang, are you okay?" Meiyue asked Xiao Guang with concern as she looked at his bandaged right arm.
"Yeah, it's okay. It's been taken care of." Xiaoguang shook his head, signaling her not to worry too much.
"It's all his fault! Otherwise, Xiaoguang, you wouldn't be hurt!" As she said that, Mitsuki kicked the Cloud Ninja who was tied up beside her.
“Hmm!”
"Okay, Mitsuki, it was my own carelessness. Stop kicking, or you'll expose your position."
"Well, I know. Then you rest first, I'll go watch outside." After saying that, without waiting for Xiaoguang to answer, Meiyue walked out of the cave.
To be honest, Miyue was actually quite depressed. She hadn't been able to get high-level tasks when she wanted to do them before, and then when she was doing ordinary tasks, the tasks were suddenly upgraded without any preparation.
The thing is, Mitsuki's team accepted an escort mission to escort a caravan to the Land of Thunder because there was no conflict between the two countries recently.
The level of this mission is relatively low, and therefore, Mitsuki and the others are a little underprepared.
That's not the case. If the mission hadn't changed so much, their preparations would have been completely sufficient. Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
On their way back after escorting the caravan, they encountered a group of Cloud Ninjas. Although their actions were suspicious, Mitsuki and the others ignored them.
After all, strictly speaking, the actions of ninjas are all suspicious. At the same time, considering the recent relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha, Mitsuki and the others decided to avoid each other temporarily to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Unfortunately, sometimes when people are unlucky, troubles will come to them.
Although Miyue and the others had retreated, the other party was obviously not at ease. They attacked Miyue and the others directly without any hesitation.
But they do have the ability. In a team of four, two people can at least be rated as special superiors, and one is a jonin. This is much stronger than Mitsuki and the others.
The strongest among the four Mitsuki members is Mito Heiichi, who has just been rated as an elite jonin. Apart from him, the other three are only at the chunin level.
Fortunately, there was a Genin on the opposite side, which gave Mitsuki and the others the advantage. They captured the opponent's Genin who looked stronger in the first place, bringing the situation to a stalemate.
Originally, we could have just talked to them and left. After all, the relationship between the two countries is not particularly bad now, so there is no need to cause conflict.
However, when Heiichi captured the opponent's Genin, his expression changed. He slapped him casually, making him lose his ability to fight. Then he threw him aside and rushed out, leaving only a sentence.
"Kill them. This man must be brought back to the village!"
Upon hearing this, Miyuki and the others' expressions tensed and they immediately followed. Although they didn't know what Pingyi had discovered, they only needed to follow orders. As for the reason, Pingyi would tell them if they needed to know.
In this way, Pingyi and his team won the victory. Although the opponent's overall combat power was slightly stronger than theirs, unfortunately they did not have the advantage in high-level combat power and numbers, so defeat was inevitable.
There would be no problem if Mitsuki and the other two just held back the two special jonin. That way, Heiichi would be able to deal with the enemy as quickly as possible.
However, this was just the beginning. From that day on, ninjas kept coming to hunt them.
Xiaoguang was injured because of his carelessness during the process and was ambushed by the ninja they captured. Fortunately, he reacted in time and only suffered minor skin injuries.
However, since then, in addition to the sealing technique, there are also steel wires on the opponent's body. Once the opponent struggles hard, the steel wires will teach him a lesson.
However, this slowed down their marching speed, resulting in them being trapped here.
It is not even safe now. Now Heiichi and Takeda are luring and intercepting the Cloud Ninjas around, just to give Xiaoguang some time to rest and delay enough time to wait for the support of the village.
Suddenly, Mitsuki's expression tensed. She took out a kunai from her ninja tool bag and held it tightly. At the same time, she took a few steps back and hid herself in the shadows.
"Hey, who do you think is the target of this mission? They're making such a big fuss. I heard the next Ai and Bi have been sent here."
"Who knows? Maybe the village is just pretending to give them merit."
"How is that possible? You know the strength of those two adults. Do they still need to be trained?"
"But we were all sent here. Isn't it strange?"
"..." The Cloud Ninja was silent for a moment. "I know what you mean, but don't be so direct next time. We're not bad, are we?"
"Tsk, I'm different from you. I'm very realistic. Stop dreaming. It doesn't matter if I don't have talent. It's not that easy."
"Tsk, it sucks to team up with you."
"Just to make you face reality, huh? No more talking. There's a cave up ahead. Let's go in and take a look."
After saying that, the two put away their playful expressions and began to slowly walk towards the cave.
Although these two people are the kind of rookies who will be distracted when performing a mission, they still know some common sense and will not rush into the cave recklessly.
As the two of them got closer, Mitsuki tightened the kunai in her hand.
"Hmm? What's that noise?"
As the two approached, the faint "woooo" sounds of the captives in the cave could be heard. Before, they were far away and Xiaoguang was covering their heads, so the sounds were relatively quiet and they were not noticed.
But as they got closer, they could hear a little bit. However, their distance was also suitable for Mitsuki to attack!
So, the moment they finished speaking, Mitsuki flashed out with a seal on her hand! While using illusion to affect them, the kunai in her right hand also flew out! She killed one of them directly!
Miyue didn't dare to be arrogant. She was not strong in illusion, and this was just an illusion technique, not a real illusion. However, Miyue didn't expect to be able to really control them.
She just needed to influence him a little, distract him, that was enough.
Just like now, one of the opponents was killed instantly, but Miyue did not stop, but continued to rush forward, entangled the opponent, and did not give him the chance to send a signal!
"Damn it! You're hiding here!"
The Cloud Ninja who was fighting with Mitsuki at this time had a face full of regret, because according to their intelligence, this group of people should be in another direction, so the two of them were so casual.
Who knew the other party was hiding here!
Miyue ignored him and continued to fight silently, not reducing the frequency of her attacks at all because of his words. They were now two people.
Although Xiaoguang was injured, their combined overall strength was still superior to that of the Cloud Ninja. Therefore, Mitsuki only needed to hold the opponent back and not give him the opportunity to send a signal.
Then just wait for Xiaoguang's support, two against one, sure win!
Thank you, Princess Eri. There is no one who is immortal in this world. I would like to thank Yunliu for the monthly ticket. Thank you for your support!
