Chapter 198 Exposed (Thanks to KuiDo for the tip!)
Just as Mitsuki began to get into a stalemate with the Cloud Ninja, the battle between Heiichi and Takeda on the other side also reached its climax.
Unlike Mitsuki's side, Heiichi and his team's goal is to attract enough attention from Kumogakure, and then play a delaying game and wait for reinforcements from the village.
Therefore, neither Heiichi nor Takeda used their own swordsmanship and physical skills, but instead used powerful ninjutsu.
However, after Heiichi glanced around and found that more and more people were gathering, he gestured to Takeda, indicating that he should prepare to retreat.
As for hard fight?
Forget it then. According to the information we have learned so far, the new AB combination of Kumogakure has arrived. Although in terms of strength, Pingyi is no worse than the two of them.
However, that was the next Raikage, who would basically succeed to the throne as long as he was not dead. It was obvious that he would have people accompanying him, and that was not something Heiichi could deal with.
Pingyi still had some idea in his mind. Although he had been rated as an elite jonin, in terms of strength, he might still be a few points weaker, and his chances of winning were slim.
Therefore, his purpose from the beginning to the end was just to delay time.
Therefore, when he saw that the number of people in Yunyin was gradually increasing, he prepared to retreat, take a rest, and go to another place to cause trouble.
"Takeda!" After greeting Takeda, Heiichi rushed towards the direction with the least number of Cloud Ninjas, with Takeda following closely behind.
"Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"
"Thunder Release: Earth Walk!"
Without any hesitation, the two Cloud Ninjas in this direction saw Pingyi rushing towards them and directly released ninjutsu. They did not expect to cause any harm, they just wanted to stop him, so the ninjutsu they released were all very simple.
Unfortunately, Pingyi is good at wind escape and wind thunder. His strength is stronger than theirs, and now he has the attribute advantage. Therefore, Pingyi rushed forward without stopping at all.
Of course, he didn't just rush in. He had already drawn his sword while rushing, and while the sword was unsheathed, Heiichi began to attach wind-style chakra to it.
Therefore, when the two ninjutsu reached Heiichi, he swung the katana in his right hand diagonally upwards, breaking the two ninjutsu.
At the same time, make a seal with your left hand!
"Konoha Style: Crescent Moon Dance!"
With a flash, Heiichi killed the two Cloud Ninjas directly. Then, Heiichi and Takeda instantly rushed into the woods. At the same time, Heiichi created two shadow clones, one of which turned into Takeda's appearance.
They advanced in two directions, and after traveling for a distance, they disbanded the two shadow clones, used the recovered chakra to use the shadow clones again to continue their journey separately. After repeating this several times, Heiyi and the others once again got rid of the Cloud Ninja.
On the other side, Ai and Bi also rushed to the place where Pingyi and others had just fought.
"ah!"
"Boom~"
Ai looked at the mess in front of him angrily. It had been three days, and they still hadn't caught Pingyi and the others. Ai, who already had a bad temper, became even angrier.
At this time, Kirabi, who was as tall as Ai's shoulders, came over and said, "Don't worry, brother, we will catch them soon. They don't have many places to hide." (I can't describe that feeling, so I'll just use my imagination)
"Hmph! Increase the intensity of the search! Don't even let go of the places we've searched before!"
"yes!"
At this moment, a Cloud Ninja quickly rushed to Ai's side, pointed in the direction of Mitsuki and the others, and half-knelt to report to Ai: "Sir, the patrol team in that area has been delayed for 5 minutes and has not reported the situation so far."
"Hmm? Humph! That's right, the rats are hiding behind us. Half of you stay here to gather intelligence, and the rest follow me!"
After saying that, Ai rushed towards the direction pointed by the Cloud Ninja who reported the news, which was the direction of Mitsuki and the others. However, before leaving, Ai glanced at the ninja leading the search.
Although Ai didn't say anything, the ninja knew very well that if he didn't perform well in the next mission, his ninja career might only end in war.
But there was nothing he could do. Apart from his age, his connections and talents were not as strong as Ai Qiang's. Most importantly, his strength was not as good as Ai Qiang's. Therefore, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
At that moment, he quickly arranged the intelligence team's collection work and immediately rushed to Ai and the others.
However, by the time he arrived, it was already too late. Not only him, but even Ai and the others were late, and it should have been quite late, because another section of the stone wall had collapsed.
Seeing this situation, he didn't even bother to rest and immediately stepped forward to collect and analyze intelligence. He didn't dare to be negligent now, as Ai Ke was about to explode with anger.
Although he is a Jonin, just like Konoha, they also have families in Kumogakure and Jonin who are not in the organization. Replacing one or two during non-war period will not affect anything at all.
He is not an elite jonin, and their numbers are not that rare. Besides, he was the one who made the mistake first this time, and he was completely in the wrong. Therefore, he hopes to make more contributions and make up for his mistakes.
After careful observation, he finally found some clues. Following these traces, he roughly deduced the direction of Miyue and the others' evacuation!
"Chase!"
After getting the information, Ai couldn't wait to take them there, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Mitsuki and the others did not dare to stay. Before that, Mitsuki had entangled the opponent and killed the remaining Cloud Ninja together with Xiaoguang. After that, they set off immediately because they were afraid of being surrounded.
They are still hurrying on their way, because they know that with their limited anti-tracking methods, they won't be able to delay for long.
Therefore, they need to speed up and try to get to the agreed location as quickly as possible and evacuate with Heping and the others as soon as possible!
Unfortunately, because they had to maintain a fast enough speed, they were unable to effectively clean up the traces along the way, and Mitsuki and Xiaoguang did not know the Shadow Clone Technique, so they could not use Heiyi's method.
What's more serious is that they have to carry a prisoner, which consumes a lot of physical strength, but they can't abandon him, otherwise all the efforts will be in vain.
Mitsuki also thought about just killing him, but thinking of the serious expression on Heiichi's face when he handed the prisoner to them, Mitsuki hesitated and finally did not do it.
The most important thing for a ninja is to obey orders. Since Pingyi has given the order, she will definitely execute it!
Finally, near dusk, Mitsuki and the others arrived at the place they had agreed to meet with Heiichi and the others.
As soon as they entered, Miyue didn't give them a chance to speak and went straight to the point!
"Teacher Mito, our tracks have probably been discovered. They should be here soon. What should we do next?"
Mitsuki's words stunned Pingyi, but fortunately he had been prepared for this situation, otherwise he would not have let Mitsuki and the others rush here directly after guessing that they might have been discovered.
Therefore, he quickly calmed down.
