Although Tianqi felt that his mission was complete, the system's voice did not come, indicating that the mission was still ongoing.
He was currently in a snow cave he had built himself, bandaging his wounds. It would be abnormal not to have sustained any injuries after killing so many enemies. Fortunately, they were minor, and the wounds were under control after bandaging.
After bandaging his wounds, Tianqi couldn't help but sigh, "The battlefield is truly a great place to hone one's skills." It's completely different from his usual missions; although dangerous, it's full of opportunities.
Over these three days, I not only broadened my horizons but also improved my combat skills.
Tianqi closed his eyes and rested for a while. "The system task is not finished yet. Now is not the time to rest. Come on! Let's go!" After cheering himself up, he continued on his way.
"We're running low on food and need to find a place to resupply." After walking for two hours, a forest appeared before Tianqi.
"Where there's a forest, there's bound to be food; and where there's a forest, there's bound to be enemies." He cautiously approached the forest, looking around warily as he went, occasionally sensing his surroundings. He didn't want to be caught off guard and end up in trouble.
"How could there be no enemies? Am I overthinking this?" Just when Tianqi thought there were no enemies, he suddenly sensed the chakra of two genin-level beings.
"I knew it. There's a forest nearby, and there was bound to be an ambush. But you two low-ranking ninjas dare to ambush me? You're asking for death." After saying that, Tianqi slowly approached the two low-ranking ninjas from behind.
When Tianqi was still a few hundred meters away from the two people, he finally saw them. The two were hiding in a patch of grass in the snow, and their surroundings were full of various explosive trinkets.
Looking at the two burly men, Tianqi had a question in his mind. These were genin from Kumogakure? You're kidding me. With their strong physiques, they were at least chunin. It seems these two guys were just pretending to be genin to fish for us.
Old sly fox!
"Trying to seduce me? Watch how I seduce you!" Tian Qi formed hand seals, "Shadow Split Technique!" Bang! A person who looked exactly like Tian Qi appeared next to him.
The clone was in perfect harmony with Tianqi, and immediately understood as soon as it appeared, rushing straight into the trap.
Bang, bang, bang! The sound of exploding tags echoed through the forest.
"Hmm! Someone triggered a trap behind us, let's go check it out." Just as this Cloud Ninja was about to go out, he was pulled back by another Cloud Ninja.
"Don't rush, observe further. Maybe it's a Jonin coming; this explosion won't have much effect on him."
After the explosion ended, Tianqi used another clone to disguise himself as a corpse and lay down in the crater where the explosion had just occurred. After doing all this, he found a patch of snowy grass to hide in.
Neither side rushed over immediately; both chose to wait.
After waiting for a while, I thought, "Damn, these two guys look very experienced. They didn't even come over to check. They're probably Jonin, or even more experienced veteran Jonin."
If you want to stall for time, I'll stall you to the bitter end.
Two hours later, the two Cloud Ninja finally couldn't resist coming out. They walked towards the explosion site and saw the corpse lying in the pit.
"Big brother, I knew he'd be alright. This kid looks only about ten years old, maybe a Chunin at best. It's impossible for him to dodge so many explosions," a slightly younger Cloud Ninja said to another Cloud Ninja.
"It seems I was overthinking it. This kid really doesn't have the ability to escape an explosion, but it's always better to be cautious on the battlefield."
"Yes, yes, big brother!" The younger Yun ninja clearly didn't listen. He approached his clone Tian Qi, wanting to see if the other was really dead. If not, he would finish him off with another blow.
Just as he approached to deliver the finishing blow, Tian Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and Tang Hengdao pierced straight through the chest of the Yun ninja.
"Second brother! You're asking for death!" Seeing his brother being killed, this experienced Yun ninja lost his mind and immediately formed hand seals.
"Lightning Release - Lightning Strike!" A bolt of lightning shot directly towards Tian Qi. Tian Qi pushed off with both feet and left his original position. The lightning struck the spot where Tian Qi had been standing.
Bang! A loud explosion blew the already dead Cloud Ninja aside.
"I'll fight you to the death!" The Yun ninja picked up his longsword and charged at Tian Qi. Without any skill, he planned to use a strategy of trading blows for blows.
Not intimidated by this fighting style, Tianqi, the clone, also took the Tang Hengdao and stabbed it directly towards the heart of the Yunren.
Seeing the other party rushing towards him, aiming at his heart, Yun Ren smiled slightly, "Want to trade lives? Who's afraid of who?" He also aimed at Tian Qi's heart.
With a series of thuds, their blades pierced each other's hearts almost simultaneously. Yun Ren coughed up blood, but smiled as he spoke to Tian Qi.
"Kid, you think you can trade your life for mine? Do you really think I'm stupid? My heart is on the other side, I won't die, but you might not be so lucky."
"Is that so?" Tian Qi looked at him with a smile, and then with a bang, he disappeared in front of Yun Ren.
"It's a shadow clone! Oh no! I miscalculated!" Just as the Cloud Ninja was about to escape, the real Tianqi used Wind Release: Cutting to take the head of the fleeing Cloud Ninja.
Seeing the Cloud Ninja lying on the ground, Tianqi took the food from their bodies and headed towards the central Konoha Ninja camp. He had previously taken a long detour to kill enemies in order to perfectly complete the mission.
"The five days that Sarutobi gave us are almost up. As long as we can reach the camp alive, this mission will be complete."
Tianqi ate as he walked, running at top speed. He had been walking slowly before because he was worried about the Yunren, but now that the Yunren had been mostly eliminated and the camp was not too far away, he started to hurry on his way.
Recalling the scene just now, Tian Qi felt a little scared. Fortunately, he had been careful and did not let his guard down when he saw the Yun Ren who had lost his mind. Instead, he used his clone to fight. If he had gone in person, he would have really been doomed this time.
Tianqi recalled what the Yun ninja had said and secretly admired him. He never expected that a ninja's heart could be on the other side. The world is truly full of wonders.
Outside the Konoha camp, under the setting sun, Sarutobi stood on a rock, gazing into the distance with a sorrowful expression. Of the ten teams that had gone out from the village, only half had returned. Some had returned with corpses, while others were confirmed dead. But there was still no news of Tianqi, and the agreed time was fast approaching.
Sarutobi had a strange feeling in his heart that morning, as if something was about to happen. When he saw that only half of his team had returned, his heart sank. These were all Konoha ninjas. So many people had died in just one trip. What a ruthless war.
"Lord Sarutobi, Lord Sarutobi, Tenki is back!" A ninja wearing a Konoha headband appeared behind Sarutobi.
"You're finally back. How is he? Is he alright?" Sarutobi turned around and asked the ninja.
"It's alright, he's injured and is being bandaged in the medical room. I was trying to notify the adults, so I don't know how serious his injury is."
No sooner had the ninja finished speaking than Sarutobi vanished from the spot. "My lord truly cares about Tianqi."
