Chapter 286: Join the team and keep it secret
Five minutes later, a figure wearing an Uchiha clan uniform and a Konoha Chuunin vest came towards where Mai was.
It was Uchiha Shin who had restored his original body.
"Xiao Wu, come out."
Xin waved his hand in the direction of the big tree where Wu was hiding, and was quite pleased with his vigilance in not appearing rashly.
"Brother Xin, it's really you. Oh~~~I thought... I would never be able to call you again."
Mai is deeply aware of Uchiha Shin's ability to perceive.
In every training battle, Wu had never succeeded in a sneak attack unless Xin was intentional.
"Talking as we walk, do you need me to carry you?"
Xin smiled slightly, but now was not the time to dawdle.
"Really? Let's forget it. Brother Xin must be on a mission. This is not good."
Wu knew that Xin must have a mission, otherwise he would have rescued her personally instead of hiring a mysterious person.
"Yes, Mai Uchiha obeys orders."
"Subordinates are here."
"As the captain of the sealing team directly under the Hokage, I am now recruiting you to join the team for this mission. This appointment is valid until the mission is completed and returned to Konoha. Do you have any questions?"
"As ordered!"
After confirming the direct relationship, Xin channeled Ma Tuan again, smelled the smell of Dou Wan in the environment, and led the two of them towards the border.
More than ten minutes later, the two people and the cat arrived at a pass on the border.
"stop."
Xin ordered to stop in the grass 200 meters away from the pass.
The power of perception, open!
After more than ten seconds of exploration, Xin frowned.
"There is no one here, but there is a small amount of chaotic chakra energy left. The barrier must have been destroyed!"
Xin said softly and turned to Ma Tuan.
"Have you found anything?"
"Meow~meow~meow!"
"A faint smell of blood? Doumaru and the others smell beyond the border?!"
"Meow!"
"It's too late. I'm afraid the Kinoshita clan has forced their way through the barrier. And... they have foreign aid!"
Xin recalled the Kumogakure team that could release chakra thunder arrows.
With the strength of Suzu, three of them and one dog, even with the help of the barrier, blocking the Kinoshita Fuji clan is the limit. Facing the Kumogakure team, their defeat is already certain.
"Captain, the sun is going down. We need to find Ling and the others as soon as possible."
Mai and Suzu were once teammates, and their relationship was like sisters. They were one of the few foreigners willing to be friends with Uchiha.
"Well, let's go!"
After giving the order, Ma Tuan took the lead and ran out, followed closely by the two of them.
Without anyone seeing it, Xin left a flame mark on the lower part of a gravel.
The Country of Yu is a beautiful country with beautiful natural environment and numerous tourism resources.
Yu Ninja Village, which used to be considered a 'fighting ninja village', had to turn into a 'peace-loving' ninja village due to the policy changes of the entire country, which reduced the funding of Yu Ninja Village every year.
In the final analysis, it is just that its combat power is not good, and it is caught between the two countries of fire and thunder. It is very self-aware, spends its own "martial arts", and remains neutral to the outside world.
I just hope that when the two major countries go to war, they don’t destroy the beautiful scenic spots that are often visited by senior officials of each major country.
As for the other places in the Kingdom of Yu, no matter how much the two countries ruin it, there might be an additional tourist attraction because of the battle for fame of a strong person.
The moonlit night is in the sky and the cold wind is whistling!
There is a significant temperature difference between the night in October and the day.
"Meow~"
Outside a dark valley, Ma Tuan stopped walking and called back.
"Okay, hard work."
Spiritualism? Solution!
tom~
After sending the Ma Tuan back, Xin turned on the power of perception, signaled Wu to follow, and then headed towards the entrance of the valley.
"Wang~wang~"
It was Doumaru's bark, but it was a little low, as if he was hurt.
"It's the captain, and sister Xiaowu."
Inuzuka Suzu knew from Mashimaru's cry that two people were coming quickly not far from the southwest, and excitedly told the Umino couple.
Umino and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. The three chuunin had been hanging far behind the Kumogakure jounin team and the Konoha rebel ninja family, which made them tremble.
Especially, during the day, he was shocked by the power of the two chakra thunder arrows that attacked the same place in the barrier.
They all lamented that the jounin was really not something they could handle.
Fortunately, Uchiha Shin had previously told him that once he encounters a Jonin and the barrier is not strong enough to resist, he should evacuate immediately.
Just rely on Doumaru's sense of smell, follow him from a distance, wait for him to come to you, and then make plans.
Even so, when the barrier was broken, the three people who were maintaining the power of the barrier all suffered more or less internal injuries.
Umino Ikkaku, who was in charge of the barrier, spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
If the remaining barrier hadn't been able to block the opponent for a while, the three of them would probably have received their lunch.
"team leader!"
The two parties finally met, and after confirming each other's identities, they returned to the temporary camp together.
"Ling, are you in trouble?"
Even though it has been more than three years since he traveled through time, he still puts the lives of his team members first when he becomes the captain of the ninja team.
"Well, here's the thing. This afternoon, Doumaru detected a group of pedestrians rushing towards the border crossing. We arrived first, opened the barrier and kept it at its strongest state, but we didn't expect... ..”
Suzu recounted the situations he encountered during the day. Umino and his wife occasionally added some supplements and looked at Uchiha Mai on the side with confusion.
"That Kumogakure Jonin who is good at archery is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."
Xin said subconsciously, but immediately realized that he was fighting against him as Yu during the day, so he didn't dwell on this topic too much.
"Her name is Mai Uchiha, and she is one of the mission targets rescued by the ANBU directly under the teacher. Because the ANBU has other missions, and her original mission is similar to ours, we let her join our team temporarily."
Xin Jiangwu joined in and gave a brief introduction. He mentioned that the Hokage was directly under the ANBU, which also explained the reason why he left alone.
Naturally, having an appointment with ANBU needs to be kept secret.
"Welcome."
Inuzuka Suzu expressed her stance first, and Umino and his wife smiled slightly. Judging from the way the other looked at Xin, the relationship between the two of the same race was relatively close.
"Captain, there are more than 30 ninjas in the target family, and they are protected by the Kumogakure Jonin team. Our team alone may not be able to handle it."
Umino Ikkaku said calmly, and the other three people also had sad faces, unable to think of any countermeasures.
"What you said makes sense. However, we just need to follow them and don't lose their whereabouts."
Xin wanted to speak but stopped.
"Captain, what do you mean, there will be an ANBU jounin team coming to support?"
Umino Ikkaku asked tentatively.
"uncertain."
Kakashi's first priority is to rescue Uchiha Buyi, so naturally he will not come to help.
"Since the opponent has a Jonin, with the strength of our team, even if we abandon the mission, it will not be considered a mission failure."
Umino Xiaonee hurriedly added that she did not want nine-year-old Iruka to become an orphan. She had heard about the life of the children in the Konoha orphanage.
Xin didn't speak, crossed her arms and tapped her fingers.
"I regard you as my closest friends, and I need you to keep this matter a secret."
Serious tone, sincere words.
