Chapter 13: On the verge of breaking out
The next day, Hinata Inaba and the others continued to move towards the coastline.
Referring to the map, they were only about a quarter of the way away.
However, the next quarter still took them almost a whole day.
After all, this is a Kirigakure-controlled area, and there are enemies everywhere, so you have to be extremely careful every step you take.
And at this time, Hinata Inaba's role was highlighted again!
His Byakugan can always detect enemies at a distance beyond the limit of normal perception, thus helping everyone avoid the roving Kirigakure team.
Along the way, gradually even Uchiha Tsurugi, who had the most explosive temper, learned to respect Hinata Inaba.
Because he must admit that even his Sanmagatama Sharingan is far less good than Hinata Inaba's Byakugan in terms of reconnaissance.
This young man's white eyes are so perfect that he doesn't even look like a branch!
If he offended Hinata Inaba here, he was afraid that he would not even be able to walk back to Konoha Village alive after being left behind.
"Be careful, there is someone on the slope ahead! We are downwind, take shelter here first."
After a while, Hinata Inaba issued another warning, and the team stopped, and everyone quickly took cover.
Before Uchiha Takashi hid, he looked up at the gentle slope in front of him one last time.
The slope was very long, and there were many obstacles along the way. With his Sharingan, he could not see the situation at the top of the slope at all, let alone discover the enemy.
This made him feel a little frustrated for no reason.
It is said that the Sharingan and the Byakugan are the two most powerful eye-jutsu blood successors in Konoha. In the past, the Uchiha have always scorned this statement. What kind of level does the Byakugan have, and why should it be tied with them?
Today, Uchiha Kuang had to admit that it was the white eyes of the boy in front of him that was slightly better.
After about a few minutes, everyone who was hiding noticed an unusual sound of wind passing above their heads.
These were all experienced warriors on the battlefield, and they quickly determined that a ninja was passing over them.
Thanks to Hinata Inaba's advance warning, they hid in advance and avoided an unnecessary fierce battle.
After waiting for a few more minutes to confirm that there was no more movement, the group reappeared and gathered.
"I relied on you to avoid disaster again, Inaba, you are so reliable!"
Captain Tomoe praised from the bottom of his heart, and others also expressed their thanks.
Although Uchiha Kuang felt unhappy, he really couldn't find a suitable reason to rebel, so he could only nod his head dully.
Then several people continued upward to the top of the slope.
Standing on this high point and looking to the southeast, you can finally see the sea at the end of your field of vision.
At this time, the sun is setting in the west, the sunset is dyeing the sky, and the sea water in the distance reflects the colorful sky, which is magnificent.
After two days and one night of trekking, they finally approached the end of the Land of Fire.
Uchiha Tsunami finally couldn't help but ask: "So what is your mission? We have already come here. If we go further, are you planning to swim to Kirigakure Village?"
Hinata Inaba didn't mind his bad tone.
Because once we got here, no one could look back, and it didn't matter if Uchiha said a few words.
“It’s okay to tell you now that our mission is to cut off Kirigakure’s maritime supplies, with a focus on attacking their docks and ships.
As long as the mission can succeed, Kirigakure's future war potential will be severely damaged! "
<divclass="contentadv">At this time, there was no need for Hinata Inaba to say "for the village", Uchiha Shisui could consciously glow with fighting spirit.
"Then let's have a big fight! End this war for the village!"
However, Uchiha Tsunade still calmly raised the question, "Can it really be so smooth? What other information do you have?"
Captain Tomoe nodded and took over the words: "Yes, according to Orochimaru-sama's information, Kirigakure will have a batch of supplies delivered from the sea tonight. The unloading location is the dock ahead. This batch of supplies includes Hōryō pills, Ninja tools, scrolls, and medical supplies are important for Kirigakure to continue this war!
Lord Orochimaru has made arrangements in advance and bribed a group of boatmen on the dock. After we attack, someone will guide us. We must destroy Kirigakure's ships together with this batch of supplies! "
Tomoe had not disclosed this information to Hinata Inaba and others before, which shows his caution!
This can't help but make Hinata Inaba sigh again: Orochimaru is really full of options.
Except for his moral bottom line being slightly lower than that, Uncle Snake's performance in the command position really has nothing to be ashamed of.
After hearing this, Uchiha Tsunade couldn't help but admire Orochimaru in his heart, and then he asked: "Then when will we take action?"
Ba replied: "Let's find a place to rest first. The ship will not arrive at the port until night. We'd better move in the early morning."
"it is good."
No one had any objections to this.
At the same time, no one would have thought that on the other side of the pier dozens of kilometers away, there was also a group of people who carefully avoided all the patrolling Kirigakure teams and quietly sneaked into a place not far from the coastline.
They were also plotting quietly at this time.
"According to reliable information, Kirigakure will have a group of ships entering the port tonight. After the supplies are unloaded, they will use empty ships to transport back the property recently plundered in the Land of Fire and the Land of Sichuan, including their wounded and captives. Kirigakure Village, if we let them transport Xiaoqi back to Kirigakure, we will never have a chance to rescue her again!
So we must act before dawn. Don’t worry, everyone, I have made arrangements in advance and bribed a group of boatmen on the dock. When we attack, there will be someone to guide us. We must be there before Kirigakure’s ship sets sail. Save Xiaoqi! "
After the leading woman finished speaking, the other three nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Lord Ye Cang!"
Although the four people in this group did not wear forehead protectors, it was not difficult to deduce their identities from their attire, the turbans they habitually tied on their heads, and the puppets they carried on their backs - this was a team that risked their lives to penetrate deep into the Kingdom of Fire. The Sunagakure Team!
Their trip was to rescue their comrades who had been captured by Kirigakure before.
The reason why they took such risks was because their actions were not supported by Kazekage Rasa.
For Ye Cang, this is her only chance left!
Once a person is transported back to the Kirigakure Village on the sea, there will be no possibility of rescue.
After some careful discussions, they also set the time for the operation in the early morning, intending to launch a sudden cold arrow when the Kirigakure ninjas were most sleepy.
As time goes by, the sun finally sinks below the sea level, night falls, and the moon shines like dew.
This place is not particularly prosperous, and there is an undercurrent surging near the Fire Country Pier, which is now completely occupied by Kirigakure.
Before this, no one would have thought that this place could be so bustling with the elites of three ninja villages at the same time.
Everyone is waiting quietly.
Until midnight, there were sailboats coming across the sea.
"coming!"
The moment the ship entered the port, dozens of kilometers apart, Hinata Inaba on Konoha's side and Hagura on Sunagakure's side spoke at the same time to remind their teammates.
The teammates who had been sleeping with their eyes closed and recharging their energy immediately woke up.
At this time, torches were lit and lights were lit on the dock.
The thread of fate was stretched to the limit at this moment, and it was about to break out!
