Chapter 62 The invisible enemy
After Yichen and his entourage discovered that the Jonin could be poisoned silently, they didn't dare to stay in this area, but retreated quickly.
The eight returned to the post and told Miyake the information they had received.
Hearing that a jonin was poisoned, Miyake was shocked and said, "I called people over, and I asked Anbu to help us see if anyone else was poisoned."
When Yichen heard it, he was right, it was hard to say whether the people in the outpost were still safe.
Sure enough, no one can be underestimated as a ninja who can stand alone. This Miyake may not be particularly strong in strength, but he can be considered a good boss if he can care about his subordinates in the first place.
Miyake summoned all the remaining 40 people in the outpost to the hall, and then Yichen began to perform sensory ninjutsu.
With a clear goal, it is easy for Yichen to perceive, but the result of perception directly surprised Yichen.
Immediately exclaimed: "There are poisoned people, at least 20 people have been poisoned."
Hearing what Yichen said, everyone exploded. This poison is not only good at concealment, but it can also be cast on a large area.
This was too scary, Yichen pointed out more than [-] people he sensed, and then a medical Chunin began to check their bodies.
This examination is nothing to worry about. Among the twenty or so people, three of them have already developed physical problems, and their various bodily functions are somewhat abnormal.
And these three people said that the body was just a little strange, but they didn't guess in the direction of poisoning.
The level of medical ninja is limited and he cannot detoxify, but he took out some detoxification pills made by the village, and after eating them, Yichen felt that the viability of the toxin was greatly reduced.
Although there is no way to cure it, at least it has a suppressive effect.The most important thing now is to get rid of the secretly poisoned enemies.
Zidian said: "We need to get some anti-virus equipment first. Is there such a thing in the outpost?"
Miyake said: "I have this. I have some gas masks. These were prepared to deal with the Sansho Hanzo during the last battle in the Land of the Rain. Later, Hanzo was held back by Konoha Sannin, so it was useless."
Zi Dian nodded and said, "From now on, everyone has to wear a gas mask. Then, everyone should act together to find them, but they can't be divided too widely. The opponent's strength should not be bad."
"The spread of poison is regular, either using chakra or the wind in nature. So our first investigation direction is the direction of the upwind." After finishing speaking, Zidian instructed Miyake to group the ninjas at the outpost .
After a while, the team of four or fifty people left the post without pulling one by one.
Before leaving, Yichen, the master of the sealing technique, arranged a barrier around the outpost.
Although it is not a strong defensive barrier, as long as Yichen is not too far away, once someone enters the barrier, Yichen will be able to sense it.
After four or 50 people started to act, the ninja group could no longer play the role of search because they were wearing a temporary modified mask, so they could only rely on the experience of ninjas.
Look for suspicious traces little by little, and advance towards the windward direction little by little.
Everyone searched in the direction of the upwind port while pushing forward. Every time they advanced 1 kilometer, Yichen would perform a perception ninjutsu.
After advancing for more than ten kilometers, Yichen said: "The poison in front is getting thicker and thicker, and my perception can already vaguely perceive the existence of the toxin.
Can't go any further, and if the gas masks don't work, we're all in again.Go around. "
Everyone had no objections, and began to circle around from one side, and walked around 3 kilometers before leaving the area where the toxin was relatively dense.
After everyone went around to the other side of the toxin area, they began to search for clues separately. It didn't take long for a ninja to find some traces.
Looking at the footprints on the ground, it is obvious that they have just left footprints, Xiao Shitou: "The other party should have left, probably because they saw our tactics."
Others also agree with this judgment.One person said: "The direction to leave is the Kingdom of Rain, should we pursue it?"
Miyake shook his head: "You can't chase, at least not everyone."
"There is only one person on the other side. If you enter or leave the border of a country, you may not be exposed, and even if you are exposed, it is not a big problem. But if so many of us enter the Land of Rain, it will create conflict. We cannot bear this responsibility."
Zidian said: "Let our 18th team go after it. We haven't been poisoned yet, and someone in our team can tell if it's poisoned, so the risk of our pursuit is relatively low."
Miyake nodded and said, "Then be careful, we will stay here to collect some toxin samples and bring them back to the village for research."
This is the benefit of being backed by Da Nin Village. Once the enemy's intelligence is leaked, it may be targeted.
If the village can research the corresponding antidote, then the next time they encounter this enemy, the opponent's move will be useless.
Don't think that researching a poison is an easy task. It cannot be done without countless attempts, and any master poisoner will not have too many powerful poisons in his hands.
After parting with the main force, the 18th team began to trace along the traces, but after chasing and chasing, three traces leading to different directions appeared.
But everyone did not panic, took off the mask of the dumpling, and then began to carefully distinguish the breath of the three roads, and the dumpling soon identified a direction.
With the help of Tuanzi, class No.18 chased all the way to the hinterland of the country of rain.
At the same time, more than ten kilometers away in front of Yichen and the others, a figure was heading towards the hinterland of the Kingdom of Rain.
This person had red hair, and he was the red sand scorpion who later became famous in the ninja world as a puppet master.
At this time, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion was older than Yichen, but he was still a teenager.
As a puppet master, the scorpion's combat power mainly comes from two parts, one is the poison and the other is the puppet.
Under Team 18's deliberate precautions, the poison was hardly effective, and with the talent of the genius puppet master of Scorpion, even without poison, his combat effectiveness was no less than that of a qualified jounin.
But Scorpion knew that there would not be only one Jonin who was chasing after him.
So Scorpion didn't intend to fight with the 18th team at the beginning, but wanted to distract the enemy by clone and other methods.
Unfortunately, Team 18 has a ninja cat.
Although the dumpling doesn't have the sharp nose of Kakashi's Parker, it is much stronger than the ninja, and it is no problem to distinguish the clone from the main body.
The puppet master is not good at physical fitness, and the speed of the scorpion is not fast, so the distance between the two sides is constantly being shortened.
The purpose of Scorpion's visit to the border of the Land of Earth this time is to test a poison made with human puppets, which can greatly reduce the strength of a ninja.
It can help the scorpion to catch the enemy alive.
This is the first time Scorpion tried human puppets, so he didn't say anything, but came to the border of the land of earth alone to obtain materials.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the chasing soldiers, Scorpion didn't waste any more chakra, and found a place suitable for the puppet master to play, and began to set up the battlefield.
A lot of chakras have been wasted by using physical clones a few times before, but they failed to delay the tracking troops behind them. If this continues, they will lose their combat effectiveness in a while.
The terrain chosen by the scorpion is a terrain mixed with rocks and trees, which is most suitable for hiding from sneak attacks.
The scorpion first arranged some poison in this area, and then released a large number of puppets, letting these puppets ambush in various positions.
As a puppet master, he must also be a master of production, so Xie also arranged a lot of various traps.
If it wasn't for the lack of time, Xie believed that he wouldn't be afraid of two jnin based on the battlefield he had arranged.
Not long after, Team 18 arrived outside the forest.Looking at the area filled with faint poisonous mist, you don't need to guess, the enemy is ready to fight to the death.
Under the cover of his three companions, Yichen performed sensory ninjutsu.This perceptual ninjutsu continues, Yichen is happy, it turns out that perceptual ninjutsu is a natural weapon against puppet masters.
The arrangement that Scorpion is proud of has nothing to do with perception ninjutsu.
Although the puppet is not considered a living person, it is connected to the puppet master through the chakra line after all.
The tiny chakra lines may not be felt by ordinary perception ninjas, and even Yichen had some difficulties a while ago.
But after this improvement, Yichen's strength is moving towards Jonin, coupled with super mental power, these chakra threads are very conspicuous in Yichen's perception.
While sensing, Yichen reported what he sensed to Zidian and the other three.
Zidian smiled, and after Yichen finished his report, his hands slowly began to form seals. Due to his lack of proficiency, it took a full ten seconds before Zidian performed the only A-level ninjutsu known at this stage: vacuum connection Wave.
The vacuum wave directly swept away the trees and rocks in the poisonous mist area with huge destructive power, and the area pointed out by Yichen with puppets ambush received more attention.
After this wave, the twenty or so puppets that Scorpion arranged around were basically scrapped, even if they were not scrapped, they lost the connection with his body. I was blown to the point where I didn't know where to go.
This is not surprising, when Yichen was in the fifth class of the ambush mist ninja team, the other party swept the ground with a B-level ninjutsu, and then a B-level ice escape directly trapped a certain depth underground. emptied.
Now a level A wind escape ninjutsu, whose power is not lower than that of B level ice escape, directly takes over puppets on the ground and underground.
After all, the wind attribute is the strongest ninjutsu among the five attributes.
And this is not the biggest loss for Scorpion. When Zidian controls Fengdun to attack, the primary target is not the puppets everywhere, but the scorpion itself.
After Xie realized that something was wrong, he directly took out a dozen or so of his most powerful puppets to protect his body.
At this time, the scorpion dared not hold back. If it was targeted by A-level ninjutsu, if it wanted to keep it, it would be courting death.
So after this wave of ninjutsu, although Scorpion didn't suffer much damage, the dozen or so most powerful puppets were basically finished.
After the wind escaped, the 18th team did not charge directly, after all, the scorpion's poison left a deep impression on everyone.
Zi Dian sealed again, it seems that this stance is to launch another wave of ninjutsu attacks.
This time the scorpion couldn't hold on anymore, and if there was another wave, he would no longer have so many powerful puppets to protect him.
So those who were forced had to manipulate the remaining puppets that were still usable, and rushed towards Zidian at high speed.
The three of Zidian are all Taijutsu ninjas, and the three of them joined forces to dismantle these already damaged puppets.
And Yichen took advantage of the opportunity of the three of them blocking Xie's line of sight, quickly formed seals, and threw an illusion towards Xie.
If it was normal, Xie would definitely be able to detect it in advance, but this time the two sides are fighting fiercely, and Yichen has maintained a state of perception from the beginning, so Xie's attention was not on Yichen for a while.
So Yichen was able to succeed in one blow under the deliberate cover of the three of them.
However, the puppet master, unlike ordinary ninjas, is trapped by the body binding technique, but the chakra silk thread can still move.
Scorpion first disrupted his own chakra, and after finding that he couldn't break the illusion immediately, he directly manipulated the puppet to attack him.
But it was too late, because they didn't do this at the beginning, the three of Zidian knew the advantages and disadvantages of Yichen's illusion better than Xie, so they stepped forward to stop the puppet immediately.
And after Zidian chopped off a puppet that was about to turn around and attack Scorpion himself, a puppet appeared behind Scorpion in an instant, and then hit Scorpion's back with a heavy blow.
Although this blow made the scorpion get rid of the illusion, it also made the chakra thread under his control disordered, and failed to control the puppet to return in time.
And with this delay, Xie never had the chance to control the puppet again, because Zidian cut off his arms twice, one after the other.
