Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 54

After a few days of training, plus Shitakawa Xuena took the time to apply medical ninjutsu, Natsuki’s injury was getting better.

The numbness on the right arm disappeared completely the day after the antidote was applied, and even Xia Shu felt that after this, he seemed to be more flexible than before.

After recuperating from the injury, he naturally couldn’t stay in the rear hospital anymore, so after the reorganization, the Aoki team set off again.

“The front has shrunk to the southwest of the Kingdom of Wind. Once the decisive battle breaks out, it can only be there.”

“So, are we going there?”

“Yes!”

After a brief conversation, everyone in the team was ready and set off immediately.

Leaving the realm of the oasis, the general landforms of the Kingdom of Wind are revealed.

The eyes are full of yellow sand, cloudless light blue sky, reflecting the desolate desert, no one can be seen in a hundred miles.

This shocking scene of Konohagakure, who lives in the middle of the Ninja World, is not long after the first glance, but it is quite attractive, but after watching it for a long time, it only feels boring and annoying.

Seeing more desolate scenes, it seems that I can’t help but feel depressed.

Fortunately, this place can be regarded as a territory swept by Konoha’s army. There may be a dangerous terrain within it, but there will be no enemy attacks, so the team travels extremely fast.

After about three hours, a dilapidated city after the flames of war appeared at the end of the line of sight.

“Let’s go directly into the city!” Aoki Gennosuke who rushed to the front said.

“Yes!” Xia Shu nodded, knowing from the bottom of her heart that this was speaking to him and Hisano Heiyu.

So a moment later, the Aoki team went straight into the city.

Xia Shu faintly felt a few glances swept across everyone, thinking that it was something like a secret whistle.

“Aoki Chūnin? Come here, please.” The leading ninja appeared from an alleyway, looking at everyone in the distance, and when the line of sight was clear, he waved and greeted.

“I am Ye Shanling.” The young man in Chūnin uniform walked in the lane with a smile on his face. After introducing himself, he pointed to a round soil embryo house and said, “This is your resting place.”

After taking it to the place, Ye Shanling did not leave directly, but helped to organize things, and then said: “The decisive battle is approaching. At this moment, the supplies are most in short supply. Therefore, the teams may be sent to search for food. Of course, this is not all of the teams. All need to be done.”

“Yeah.” Aoki Xuanzhisuke nodded when he heard the words, his eyes motioned to the other party to continue talking.

“Other than that, it’s the patrol team. The northwest corner of the city was almost infiltrated by Sand Shinobi. Later, although it was detected, several teams died. So the Aoki team will fill the vacancy.” Said slowly.

“Okay.” Hirano Yi nodded with a sullen face.

“In this case, let’s rest for the time being, and we can go there in the afternoon, and see you at that time.” Ye Shanling finished speaking and left in a hurry.

After having lunch and resting for a while, Xia Shu followed the others to the northwest corner of the city and walked all the way, opening his eyes to the characteristics of the country of wind in this dilapidated and dilapidated city.

It is not uncommon for Konoha Shinobi to come and go in a hurry. After all, this place is already where Konoha’s army is entrenched.

Xia Shu felt from what he saw, and probably when he estimated Konoha’s strength, the northwest corner of the city was getting closer.

At this moment, some ninjas had gathered around the city wall, and a few people were reunited with each other. They were all arranged in small teams, obviously the same as they were here.

Kuno Hei Yu looked at him, and suddenly hit Xia Shu with his shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Look over there.”

Xia Shuxun looked sideways and saw that Ye Shanling followed a female Jōnin, slowly rushing towards this side.

“Captain Jinshi!”

“Captain Jinshi!”

“Nishiki…”

From the greetings one after another, Xia Shu learned that the cold-faced female Jōnin was named Jin Shi Shali, the commander Jōnin in charge of this patrol and defense line.

His mind was undulating, and Xia Shu looked at Jin Shi Shali without a trace.

The pace is light and vigorous, obviously not bad in physical skills. Ninja swords on his back are standard goods. I don’t know whether it’s a hand-in-hand or Master’s swordsmanship. However, most of the female Jōnin are good at ninjutsu, and I would like to come to this Nishiki sashimi. in this way.

“Continue to execute according to the previous patrol plan.” Jin Shi Sari said, and the ninja squad gathered here suddenly walked away seven or eight.

“The other squads that have joined in will not be arranged to guard in the afternoon. You can choose a squad to follow and figure out what needs to be done. As for the plan of guarding, it will be issued to the ninja in the evening.” Nishiki Sari’s words were concise and clear, and he paused for a while, scanned his indifferent eyes, and said, “Do you understand?”

“clear!”

“clear!”

“bright……”

The ninjas led by the various teams including Gennosuke Aoki responded loudly.

Seeing this, Jin Shi Shali nodded with satisfaction, and disappeared in place.

Ye Shanling stepped up and greeted with a smile: “Captain Aoki, why don’t you follow my team.”

“That would be great, Captain Ye Shan.” Of course, Genyosuke Aoki wouldn’t refuse the other party’s kindness. He greeted him, and Xia Shu followed Xiang Ye Shanling’s team closely.

Ye Shanling is in charge of the line of defense. His work is to stand on the city wall, look in the distance, alert and discern possible threats, so what he teaches by precept and deeds is the knowledge related to this.

“In addition to this work, Master’s specific signaling methods are required. There are two ways. One is to quickly transmit an explicit message when a large number of enemies come, and the other is to transmit when a small number of enemies come. Concealed and accurate information can be trapped in reverse.” At this point, Ye Shanling suddenly smiled, shrugged, and said indifferently: “Of course, the final battle is approaching, and the small group of enemies has not appeared for a long time. As for the huge number of enemies… Haha! After retreating, Sand Shinobi still has the courage to attack actively, I doubt it!”

The joking in these words was unconcealed, but Xia Shu secretly shook his head. This time-changing battle on the battlefield continues to this day. No matter whether it is Sand Shinobi or Konoha, they can’t hold on any longer. Human, material, resources, and ninjas gradually breed. His war exhaustion is doomed to a decisive battle not far away.

The difference between Sand Shinobi and Konoha is that there is an internal problem. This is information inferred from the border attack. However, whether it is for revenge or for Shinobu’s future, Sand Shinobi must be the first to go to war.

What’s more, with this city as the entrenched place, strategically speaking, Konoha is tantamount to giving up geographical advantages. Even if Konoha does not originally have geographical advantages, it will ebb and flow. If Sand Shinobi launches an attack, what will be the result? It’s hard to predict.

Of course, Xia Shu is more suspicious, the whole city is a bait to attract Sand Shinobi.
