Chapter 29 Encounter with Sand Ninja
"B-level missions don't seem to be interesting at all! Those ninjas from the Grass Ninja Village immediately retreated when they saw us. They were too cowardly."
Hyuga Hizashi took the three of them on an escort mission. However, although they met the ninjas from the Grass Ninja Village during the escort, the other party gave in and left very wisely.
Because of this, Asuma no longer had the excitement of receiving the mission at the beginning. Instead, he seemed a little bored. He followed the carriage near and said to Hong.
"What do you think? The so-called B-level missions are missions where there is a possibility of fighting ninjas, but in fact ninjas are not fools. Generally, if they see that the opponent is too strong, they will definitely give up the mission directly!"
Uchiha Feiha, who was standing next to Asuma, rolled his eyes and said.
"That's right. Generally speaking, even if ninjas perform opposing tasks, they rarely develop into a life-and-death struggle. Instead, they will first measure the combat effectiveness of both parties before deciding whether to carry out the task."
"From the beginning of B-level missions, ninjas have often been in hostile situations. If every B-level mission requires a life-and-death struggle, then even if the number of ninjas in the five major ninja villages increases several times, they will all be exhausted in the mission. "
Hinata Hizashi said calmly, in fact, this is the normal way for most ninjas to perform tasks.
If it were another ninja team, the ninjas from Kusunin Village might have tried it out. However, after seeing the white eyes of Hinata Hizashi, facing Hinata, a famous ninja family in Konoha, a small ninja village like Kusunin Village would not even be able to do it at all. Without any thought of temptation, I gave up the mission directly.
The Hyuga clan's Byakugan is far inferior to Uchiha's Sharingan in terms of pure combat power, but it completely crushes Uchiha in terms of eye opening rate. Basically all Hyuga clan ninjas can directly open the Byakugan.
Although the upper limit is not as high as that of the Uchiha, the lower limit of the Hyuga clan's ninjas is also the highest among all ninja families - the adult ninjas of the Hyuga clan are at least the elites among the chuunin. This is all the ninja families in the entire ninja world. An achievement that cannot be achieved.
Similar to this kind of opponent running away, Hyuga Hizashi encountered him countless times when performing tasks, so naturally he would not be as surprised as several of his students.
After completing the escort mission safely, the return to Konoha Ninja Village was much faster. Without the burden of ordinary people, the journey that originally took nearly three days was only a two-hour run for the ninjas.
In the following days, the group began to perform B-level tasks again.
Most B-level missions are escort missions within the Fire Country. The current war has just begun, and the Fire Country is still relatively safe. In addition, Hinata Hizashi's white eyes are clearly in front of him, so the other party has chosen to give in on most B-level missions.
But if you perform too many missions, you will eventually encounter accidents - or in other words, although most B-level missions will not eventually develop into a battle, there are still about 20% of B-level missions that end with a battle between the two sides. of.
Apparently, Team 1 finally met an opponent they needed to fight against.
"This is already the sixth B-level mission. It won't be like the last time where all the opponents you encountered politely gave in, right?"
Asuma had a straw in his mouth, with a look of youth and vitality that had nowhere to vent, as if he wanted to jump out of the grass and fight an enemy jounin.
"Be careful, Asuma, this time is different."
Hong looked around cautiously and said:
"This time, we are carrying out a battlefield mission. Although the possibility of encountering an opponent is much smaller than the previous missions, once we encounter an opponent, it is impossible for the opponent to give in!"
Yes, today's three-person team is performing a battlefield mission, escorting some scrolls to the battlefield hospital ahead.
The battlefield hospital is still a little far away from the front line, but it can no longer be called a safe place. In addition, ninjas are best at infiltration warfare and guerrilla warfare. It is normal to encounter ninjas who have infiltrated into the rear anytime and anywhere.
Of course, the first team is not the only team sent to the battlefield hospital. In fact, Konoha will distribute medical supplies to seven or eight teams to perform tasks at the same time, and allow a loss rate of about two teams. This is the beginning Just calculate the margin.
The advantage of this is that as long as the luck is not so bad that the people are angry, the front line can receive at least five or six teams of medical supplies, and the logistics supply will not be cut off.
In other words, the probability of these teams encountering the enemy is about 1/5 or 1/6, depending on who is unlucky.
"Stop! There is a situation ahead! There is a small group of ninjas ambushing ahead."
Every once in a while, Hyuuga Hizashi would glance around with his white eyes, suddenly stop, wave his hand, and stop the three subordinates behind him.
"Did you find the enemy? Which ninja village does the enemy belong to?"
Asuma and Kurenai, who were chatting just now, kept their steps steady, with excited and nervous expressions on their faces, and took out the sword and kunai from the ninja tool bag.
However, the one who reacted fastest was not the two of them, but Uchiha Feiyu who had been standing beside them. He put down the scroll on his back, his body flashed with lightning, and he rushed out in an instant.
"It should be the Sand Ninja..., wait a minute...so fast, this guy's speed has improved again!"
Uchiha Feiyu's speed was too fast, and Hinata Hizashi was unable to stop him, leaving only an exclamation.
Hatake Sakumo's soul has long been possessed. After half a year of training, Uchiha Feiyu's foundation has greatly increased. Now Hatake Sakumo can already exert 70% to 80% of the strength in his heyday, and he is a quasi-kage level powerhouse. .
The so-called quasi-kage level or even kage level is not a standard term. The standard for a strong kage level is a kage from the five major ninja villages or a ninja who has the strength to compete for the shadow position. A quasi-kage level means one who can fight against a strong kage level. A ninja for a while.
Theoretically, most of the ninjas who have become famous in the ninja world can be called quasi-kage level ninjas. With this kind of strength, they can easily crush ordinary jounin, not to mention cutting melons and vegetables.
Unless the opposite sand ninja is the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, or the puppet master Chiyo is here in person, Uchiha Feiyu doesn't feel that he needs to be afraid of anything.
I also knew that it was impossible for the Fourth Kazekage and the elder Chiyo to condescend themselves and come to carry out such a small task. The ninja opposite was at most an elite jounin and a few chuunin. How could it be him? opponent?
The Suna ninja team hiding in front did not discover the ninjas of Konoha at first. They only laid ambush on several roads where Konoha was most likely to walk.
However, when Uchiha Feiyu rushed towards him with lightning flashing on his body, this group of people reacted immediately.
