"quack!"
At this moment, two low crow noises attracted the attention of the Iwa Ninja, and then the crow cries continued one after another.
"quack!"
"quack!"
Soon, hundreds of crows suddenly flew out from the surrounding woods, circling and chirping in the air.
The four of them were startled, but when they realized it was just the movement of a flock of crows, they relaxed.
Yosuke said irritably, "It's those crows again."
Looking at this group of crows, the captain, Shida, also frowned.
The disobedient Red Rock Pig not only killed five villagers but also disturbed the nest of a group of crows, causing them to face the revenge of a group of crows.
Although they didn't take it seriously, the most feared thing during a mission was an accident, even a small one.
"Gah!"
However, after a crow cry, the group of crows dispersed, and the entire forest suddenly fell into peace again.
Shida felt a little uneasy and said, "If no one comes after tonight, we must retreat! I guess the villagers here have already issued a mission to Konoha!"
Upon hearing this, Yosuke immediately said, "Captain Shida, this mission is extremely important. According to our preliminary intelligence, our spies have obtained the defense deployment map of Konoha's border!"
The thin figure also interrupted and said, "Yes, given the economic situation of this village, it can only be a C-level mission at best. In this case, Konoha will not send powerful ninjas over, so we should still be able to buy some time."
"Captain Shida, please stay a little longer. Konoha will not care about the death of a few villagers!"
The level of this mission is extremely high, and the reward is also very generous. The three team members were reluctant to give up such a mission and they all tried to persuade the other party to give up.
Facing these rebuttals, Shida suddenly shouted: "Obey orders!"
"Yes!" The three had no choice but to answer.
Half an hour later, as the crows returned to the village, Chika and Kushina also walked out of the room.
The crow landed at Chika's feet and picked up four stones.
A hint of joy flashed across his face, and he became more and more satisfied with this crow.
After throwing a piece of dry food to the crow, he asked Kushina, "What will we do, Kushina-sensei?"
Kushina closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly opened them, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Kill!"
Ever since she became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she hasn't experienced a life-and-death battle for a long time, and her heart has been suppressed for a long time.
Even though Kushina yearns for peace, anyone who can become a ninja must have some hostility in his heart.
At the same time, two Anbu appeared in front of the two of them.
Kazuma said to Kushina, "Kushina, we are lucky. We saw this guy right after leaving the village."
There was a corpse wearing a Konoha ninja uniform hanging upside down on Kazuma's back.
Kushina stepped forward and lifted up the corpse's face, only to find that she had never seen it before.
she asked the two ANBU with her eyes and saw that they shook their heads. So, she didn't bother about this issue anymore. Anyway, she would take him back to Konoha Village and hand him over to the Yamanaka clan, and they would know everything.
Kushina rummaged through the ninja's pockets and pulled out a scroll, opening it and her expression suddenly changed.
"The Grass Country Border Defense Deployment Map!?"
These words also surprised the two Anbu.
There are many small countries between the Fire Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.
These small countries are basically the battlefields between the two major powers and the stage for them to display their respective military power.
Although these small countries have ninja villages, they are helpless in front of the big countries and can only spread their legs and try to pose in a comfortable posture.
The Grass Kingdom is one of the main battlefields.
Konoha also deployed a number of strongholds in the Land of Grass to monitor the movements of the Land of Earth while also defending against attacks from the Land of Earth.
"Fortunately, we intercepted it, otherwise if a war really broke out, we would suffer heavy losses."
Kushina felt relieved.
Heihachi nodded and sighed, "It seems that the ninja world, which has only been peaceful for a short time, is about to fall into chaos again!"
Although there are frictions on the border in the ninja world at this moment, it is much better than an all-out war and can barely be defined as peacetime.
But this time, the Land of Earth actually wanted to steal Konoha's defense deployment map on the border of the Land of Grass.
Whether intentional or unintentional, it makes Kushina and others think that the Land of Earth is already preparing for the next war.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Kushina was the first to speak: "We'll talk about the future later, now let's deal with the team of Iwa ninjas in the mountains."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to her disciple and asked, "Chika, how do you think we should deal with them next?"
He glanced at Kushina and saw a testing look in her eyes.
After thinking for a while, He said:
"The enemy will definitely not bother us if they see that the mission has failed. Once they find us, they will run away. With this mountain, it is impossible to encircle a team of four with our limited number of people. If we let them run away, it will be a lot of trouble."
"Indeed!"
Heihachi nodded in agreement and said, "So, what do you think?"
He continued: "So, we have to make the other party escape according to the route we gave!"
"What should we do then?"
He smiled and said to Kushina: "Kushina-sensei, this is where you need to use your expertise!"
"Oh?" Kushina was stunned, then asked with a hint of curiosity: "What do you need me to do?"
"The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique! The enemy didn't know how many of us were here, so we will use your large number of shadow clones to give their perception ninjas false information, causing them to misjudge and think that they had been discovered stealing Konoha's intelligence, and were systematically surrounded by Konoha."
"In one of the directions, the number of shadow clones can be relatively reduced. In this way, they will definitely choose this point to break through."
"All we have to do is wait quietly for them to come crashing down on us. We can even set traps. Maybe we can cause casualties to them before the battle even starts."
"I see! I understand!"
After hearing what he said, Kushina's eyes suddenly lit up. This plan would be impossible to complete without her.
It seems that her disciple knows how to make use of her own strengths.
"It's a very feasible!"
After hearing this, Heihachi and Kazuma, two ANBU standing by, nodded and agreed to the plan.
"Kushina, you have a great disciple!"
Compared to the perfunctory compliment he gave earlier, Kazuma's words were much more sincere.
It's pretty good for a newly graduated ninja to have such analytical skills.
