Chapter 202 Don’t die before I get there
"The art of rock fist!"
As Yanban spoke, he punched the ground beneath his feet, and the ground instantly collapsed into a large pit.
Yanban waved his hand to Qingsuke and said, "Look, this is the trace of that kid's escape."
Qingsuke stepped forward, took one look and suddenly realized.
"He is really a cunning guy. He used the art of sneaking in the soil to escape. No wonder the smell disappeared."
"Looking at the direction he's walking, it's right over to the Demon Leech Cave, which is the same direction as ours. But just in case, we'd better catch up."
"It makes sense. If this kid changes direction and runs away, we'll be in trouble."
"Walk."
Kakashi was hiding in the stone and could not see the movement outside. His ears told him that the two Iwa ninja outside had left.
Kakashi did not act rashly, but stayed calmly in the stone and listened quietly to all the movements in the outside world.
The two Iwa nin outside not only knew his identity, they even knew that he was injured.
This undoubtedly confirmed Kakashi's previous suspicion: the Iwa ninja had long been eyeing them.
Although I don't know what method the Iwa Ninja used, these Iwa Ninjas escaped the Byakugan's detection, and while continuing to track them, they grasped their intentions and called for reinforcements.
The rock ninjas outside heading toward the Demon Leech Cave are reinforcements.
The Iwa ninja who jumped out to fight him before and later kidnapped Lin must be one of the Iwa ninjas who tracked their team.
It's just that reinforcements haven't come yet, so they show up to delay the situation. They even have to kidnap Lin to further delay.
Everything is right now!
As expected, Kakugi and his men went to rescue Lin, but they stepped into the Iwa Ninja's trap!
"What a bunch of trash!" Kakashi couldn't help but cursed inwardly.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the outside world, and then Kakashi slowly came out of the stone.
His nose and ears were trembling, and he could no longer smell the enemy's scent or hear the enemy's voice.
It seems that he really left.
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his legs and ran forward.
The Iwa Ninja who came to intercept him have already missed him, and now there are no more Iwa Ninja troops in front of him to specifically block him!
A large number of rock ninjas are attracted to the Demon Leech Cave, and the alertness of Kannabi Bridge may be lowered!
This is the opportunity!
Go straight to Kannabi, destroy the bridge, and complete the mission!
As for Kakugi and the others, they would probably be chased and intercepted by a large number of Iwa nins and eventually die.
Hinata Qiu, who is usually as focused on tasks as himself, doesn't know why he followed to save people this time;
At the same time as him, Umino Tsunoki had no airs as a captain at all, and his talent completely overshadowed his own. If he failed to complete the task this time, his end would definitely not be good;
Uchiha Obito, the pseudo-genius of the Uchiha family who bickers with himself all day long and has completely different ideas, is an idiot;
And... Lin.
do not care! In order to complete the mission, even if it means sacrificing the lives of fellow ninjas, you must never look back!
Kakashi shook his head violently, desperately trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and sprinted forward.
But unconsciously, his steps gradually slowed down, until he stood still.
Kakashi lowered his head, and his hair that stood up high seemed to be drooping.
Are these people, the people who have been with him day and night for more than a year, all going to die?
When he thought that these people might never see each other again, Kakashi felt an indescribable emotion well up in his heart.
It seemed like a...sad feeling.
Maybe he felt sad for Kakugi and the others, maybe... he felt sad for himself.
"Tsk!!!"
Kakashi raised his head suddenly, spat harshly, turned around quickly, and ran towards the way he came.
"You losers, don't die before I get there!!!"
----
"Damn it, it's actually a shadow clone!"
After a long time, Iban and Qingsuke, who used Earth Release Ninjutsu to sneak into the ground to track the enemy, looked at the white smoke dissipating in front of them and looked at each other.
"No! Since this is a shadow clone, the original body must have gone to Kannabi Bridge!" Yanban said hurriedly.
"Nani! We must report it immediately!" Qingsuke also suddenly realized.
There is no time to think about how Kakashi escaped from under their noses. They must report to captain Sumashi immediately!
Fortunately, the direction chosen by Kakashi's shadow clone was also the direction of the Leech Cave. Although it was a bit off and they missed the chase, it was not far from the main force.
The two of them used the teleportation technique without sacrificing chakra, and soon they were in front of Sumashi.
After listening to the reports of the two men, Sumashi smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I just received the information from Oishi Jōnin that the injured Konoha Jōnin returned."
"Returning back? Why?" Yanban and Qingsuke looked at each other in surprise.
This was a great opportunity for Konoha ninjas to complete their mission, why did they give up?
"Haha." Sumashi chuckled, rubbed his fingers on the kunai, and said casually: "Who knows, maybe their boring bond is causing trouble."
"Ninjas just need to complete their tasks, and feelings are just unnecessary by-products!"
Ibanita and Aosuke looked at each other, intending to refute Sumashi's words, but due to the majesty of their immediate boss, they remained silent.
"By the way, that Konoha ninja is now behind us. As punishment, you two just stay, stop him, and get rid of him!"
"Yes!" Yanban and Qingsuke immediately stood upright and responded.
They both understood that although it was punishment, it was also an opportunity.
Otherwise, the "brilliant deed" of the two chasing a shadow clone for a long time would have been passed down as a joke.
"Do your work quickly and don't let that kid affect the battle on my side!"
Sumashi left a few words and continued to set off with his ninjas.
Ibanban and Qingsuke were left behind. After a brief discussion, they lurked in place and waited quietly for Kakashi's arrival.
----
"Captain, the cave is ahead. There are no enemies or traps lurking nearby. Lin and the Iwa Ninja who kidnapped her are both inside."
Hinata Qiu observed with his white eyes and said.
At this time, Kakumu, Hinata Akira and Obito had arrived at the outskirts of the Demon Leech Cave and were hiding quietly in the grass, less than 300 meters away.
"Very good, you deserve the supercilious look." Kakugi first praised Hinata Akira, and then changed the topic: "Aki, do you blame me, the captain, for bringing you here regardless of the mission?"
Hinata Qiu looked at Kakugi steadily and suddenly smiled.
Obito on the side couldn't help being surprised: Qiu smiled! This is like the flowering of an iron tree!
"Captain, although I came here to obey your order. However, I also want to save Lin."
"For the first time, I discovered that it feels so good to ignore the rules and do what you want to do."
Saying that, Hinata Qiu blinked at Kakugi.
"Ha." Kakugi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Qiu. This mission will definitely be completed!"
