Chapter 199: Childhood sweethearts are no match for the Sky-dropped
Pingyi first took out the map and spread it flat on the ground, then called Miyuki and the others to come over.
Pointing to several areas bordering Kumogakure, he said, "You see, their encirclement is mainly concentrated in these directions, so our target is very clear."
"Retreat towards the village. According to calculations, the village's support should be arriving soon. We can save some time by heading in this direction."
The reason why Heiichi decided to continue retreating from this direction was mainly because they had not revealed their identities in the past two days. In addition, Kumogakure and the others were also concerned about Konoha, so the search and blockade here was slightly weak.
Although this is not the border between the Fire Nation and the Lightning Nation, there are two small countries with little presence between the two countries.
Therefore, the cordon between Konoha and Kumogakure is actually the dividing line between these two small countries, and the area beyond that is Konoha's patrol range.
Without knowing the enemy's identity, they did not dare to conduct a large-scale search there. Therefore, this was the retreat route chosen by Pingyi.
In the past few days, they basically have not broken out in this direction, all for this moment!
Pingyi also considered continuing to fight guerrilla warfare with them and creating more confusing clues, but after careful consideration, he gave up.
Because the people from Yunyin have almost surrounded this place, their range of activities will only become smaller and smaller, and it is not conducive to the arrival of reinforcements. The risk is too great.
After making the decision, Pingyi and the others did not stop, but continued on their journey in the night.
At the same time, Pingyi still planned to use the tactics he used during the day. Although he couldn't get rid of them, he could at least buy more time.
At times like this, every extra second brings them a little more hope.
"Tick, tick."
At this time, the Fire Nation was in a forest in the direction of the Thunder Nation.
Figures kept flashing across the trees. They were Konoha's reinforcements, and our protagonist Shiro and his team were among them.
In fact, judging from the level of support this time, it was not their turn to go out, because in addition to the five or six Anbu and a dozen mid-level Genin sent by the village, Mitsuki and Xiaoguang's families also sent people to support.
Among them, the Uchiha clan is the strongest, with two elite jonin and Uchiha Yue who has now opened the three magatama. Well, there is also Taichi who has fully adapted to the three magatama in this year.
Although the Minamoto clan was a little inferior, they also sent an elite jonin and an ordinary jonin, which shows Xiaoguang's status in the family.
It is worth mentioning that they are private soldiers of the two tribes and are not included in the organization. Therefore, the village also has personnel sent for this mission.
That is, the six Anbu and the dozen or so mid- and low-level ninjas that accompanied them. Not to mention the Anbu, there might be some solid Jonin or even elite Jonin.
Furthermore, Shiro also saw a legendary figure inside, the current strongest taijutsu master, Mr. Chen! (There is no information about Dai's eight gates)
The main reason why Shiro still remembers him after all these years, as he appeared in a few scenes during the Fourth World War, is because of his Konoha Shenlong move, which was very impressive.
At the same time, when Shiro learned that he was also going, he recommended Dai to the third generation. However, there was no other way. According to the existing information, the AB combination had already taken action, and that place was close to Kumogakure.
What if the Third Raikage met his end? He remembered Kumogakure's Heaven's Sending Technique.
Therefore, Silang could only find a backer who was both leisurely and powerful.
In the current Konoha, the most stable one is Dai, at least he is the strongest in Konoha in single combat, emmm, except Kushina
Moreover, Shiro also had a treasure that could save Dai, so he felt completely confident.
Therefore, logically speaking, their lineup does not need Shiro and his team.
Unfortunately, things happen unexpectedly. At this juncture, most of the bird puppets in the village have gone out on missions, leaving only Shiro and his team.
There was no other choice, and since Shiro's team had a good relationship with Mitsuki's team, they were recruited.
But in fact, Shiro and his team have made great progress in this year and are capable of completing this mission. Well, to be precise, Taichi has made the most progress, and Shiro has only made up for his shortcomings a little, which has not had much impact on his combat effectiveness.
After all, he is still in the accumulation stage, and many things cannot form combat effectiveness.
Taichi is different. He has a three-magatama Sharingan. During this year, he has become fully familiar with the power of the Sharingan. At the same time, the benefits brought by opening his eyes have gradually become apparent.
The only difference between him and a jonin now is his job title. His ninja body illusions have basically reached the level of a jonin. In a few years, he will be a true elite jonin.
Of course, whether he can become an elite jonin depends on his own choice. If he continues to stay in the village, he will be promoted to jonin and elite jonin naturally.
If you choose to quit, return to your tribe, or join the security team, your chances will be much smaller.
Because elite jonin is not just a title, he also has corresponding rights, even if you do not hold a certain position.
Because of the exclusion of the Uchiha, very few places are allocated to them every year, and in many cases there are no places allocated to them.
Therefore, if you stay in the clan or join the guard team, it will be difficult to get promoted, because there are many people with this ability in Uchiha, but there are few places and the competition is fierce.
However, if he continues to stay in the organization, he is likely to be rejected by some people in the tribe. Therefore, the final choice depends on Taiyi's own wishes.
However, no matter what Taiyi chooses, he will basically leave the team.
Needless to say, once they leave the organization, Uchiha people rarely go out of the village to perform missions, and the guard team also stays in the village all year round, and basically will not go out unless there is a major crisis.
Not to mention being promoted to Jonin. Two Jonins in a team is a bit of a luxury. It would be more efficient if Taichi could lead a new team.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be their last mission.
Thinking of this, Shiro glanced at Taichi who was communicating with the Uchiha elite Jonin while on the road ahead, and sighed slightly.
To be honest, although Taichi was very cold to him at the beginning, after so long, his relationship with Taichi is actually the best, and the two of them have a tacit understanding when fighting.
Although Taichi and Lu Ming have been a team for a longer time, in all the battles so far, it has basically been Taichi and Shiro fighting together, after all, Lu Ming cannot keep up with their fighting.
He is a think tank ninja, and fighting is not his forte. Therefore, in the constant battles, the relationship between Shiro and Taichi gradually surpasses the relationship between him and Taichi.
This might be the so-called childhood sweethearts are no match for the one who descended from heaven.
Emmm, something seems to be wrong. Well, it's an illusion. I must be overthinking it.
Shiro shook his head and focused his attention back on his journey.
Fortunately, everyone was on their way at that time, otherwise if they saw him, they would think he was a fool, shaking his head inexplicably while walking.
