Chapter 47 The third generation of Kazekage
But it would be too reckless to give up on the mission before everything has settled.
Giving up on a mission is a "forbidden matter" for ninjas, and persisting in performing a mission is a "political correctness" for ninjas. Talking like this can easily leave stains and accusations. This is the real reason for Umino Ikkaku's anger.
The 15-minute break is fleeting. Everyone packed up their equipment and waited for Umino Ikkaku's instructions to continue setting off.
Umino Ikkaku coughed slightly, with a slight smile on his face.
"Umino class, target area D, let's go!"
Having said that, let’s move towards Area D first.
"Ah?" Xiong Shou cried out in surprise: "But we are in Area A now?"
"Execute the order!" Umino Ikkaku said and continued walking to Area D without looking back.
Xiongshou and Hanfang looked at each other and froze in place at a loss.
Kakugi reacted instantly, glanced at the two of them, and shouted:
"Why are you standing there, hurry up and follow me!" After saying that, he followed Umino Ikkaku.
Kumate and Kanfang looked at each other, confused and followed Kakugi's pace.
Kakugi followed Umino Ikkaku, looking at his father's broad back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline an arc, and his eyebrows were filled with a smile that couldn't be hidden.
It’s really yours, Dad!
Area 8, which Umino Squad is responsible for patrolling, is relatively large, so it is divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D.
Areas A and D are located on both sides of the starting point, and to the south are Areas B and C respectively close to the outpost.
Although the camp does not have strict requirements for patrol routes, Umino Squad is generally used to starting from Area A, going to Area B, then turning sideways to Area C, and finally going to Area D and returning to the camp.
At this time, Uminoban's location was at the junction of Area A and Area B. According to common sense, the next patrol should go to Area B.
Umino Ikkaku ordered to patrol Area D next. Although he was still performing patrol duties, he was indeed getting closer to the camp.
If Umino Squad's loss of contact with the mobile unit was just a unilateral mistake, then after regaining contact with the main camp, the most likely thing would be to continue carrying out the mission, and it would just be more of a turnaround.
If the speculation that the Suna Ninja launched a full-scale attack and that a large number of follow-up troops were about to arrive was true, Uminoban would also be closer to the camp, making it easier to retreat in time.
Kakumu silently praised his father's wit.
Umino Ikkaku said that the execution of tasks can also be flexible, let's see how mature ninjas perform tasks!
Take your time and learn from experience, kid!

Somewhere in the dense woods, there is a small clearing in the forest.
Ye Cang spread his legs and sat on a short tree stump, fanning his delicate face with his right hand. The orange hair tips on both sides were mixed with blood stains and sweat, and stuck tightly to his face.
In front of Ye Cang, in the open space and on the treetops, there were densely packed ninjas from Sunagakure Village, including more than a dozen teams.
If you look closely, you will see that each team is an elite team, and the captain of each team is a jounin!
It was these teams that spread out and attacked the vast patrol area at the same time. With their strong strength and concealment, they eliminated Konoha's patrol team almost instantly.
Ye Cang also personally led the team to clean up Konoha's mobile troops deployed in this area.
For this attack, Suna Ninja sacrificed countless spies to obtain accurate patrol and defense information.
This was the result of this nearly perfect raid!
It's a pity that there were still mistakes in the battle after all.
Ye Cang raised his head to estimate the time, and said impatiently to the Suna ninja beside him:
"Jinsuke, hasn't Takaisana's team arrived yet?"
Jinsuke looked at Ye Cang's impatient eyes and said bravely: "Yes, not here."
"How long has it been?"
"We've been waiting...for almost half an hour."
"This soul is weak!" Ye Cang stood up suddenly and punched the narrator's tree trunk, leaving a deep punch mark.
In the first place, I shouldn't have allowed this arrogant guy like Tao Jingsha to join the raid team! As a result, no one can be found now!
All the sand ninjas in the audience were silent.
After a while, Ye Cang calmed down and asked calmly.
"Where is Kazekage-sama?"
Jinsuke on the side said cautiously: "Master Kazekage, I sent you a letter 20 minutes ago."
"Tsk!"
Ye Cang's face turned red and looked so ugly that he seemed to be dripping with water.
After a long pause, he spoke bitterly.
"The worst-case scenario is that the Hundan puppet master Taojingsha and his Baga disciples have died in Area 8. In other words, we have not completed the mission goal. There is a Konoha patrol still in Area 8. Wandering around the area.”
"It's impossible, Master Ye Cang." Jinsuke tried to comfort Ye Cang: "Takaisha is also a Jonin after all. Maybe he was too involved in playing..."
"I must prepare for the worst!" Ye Cang gritted his teeth and said: "The area has not been cleared, and the eight thousand army is in front of us. As time goes by, the wandering patrol will definitely find something! At that time, our actions It will be exposed!”
"For today's plan, we can only fight quickly! Inform the Kazekage-sama that in half an hour we will launch a rear attack on all Konoha outposts at the same time! Please ask the Kazekage-sama to launch attacks at the same time, creating a flanking attack from the front and rear!"
"And..." Ye Cang hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "Tell Mr. Feng Ying about Area 8 so that he can be mentally prepared!"
"set off!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
The so-called psychological preparation is naturally the psychological preparation for the failure of this attack.
The possible existence of the patrol team in Area 8 has become a thorn in Ye Cang's heart. If Gao Jingsha's team has been eliminated, then this team has most likely learned something.
It is more likely that Konoha has been notified, causing the Suna Ninja's attack to lose the surprise effect.
Such mistakes are almost fatal.
It happened that Ye Cang had no time to correct his mistakes at this time. Now the Sand Ninja had to shoot with an arrow on the string. As time went by, even if nothing was done, some traces that were inadvertently exposed would be discovered by Konoha.
Simply launch an attack immediately!
Soon, the Third Kazekage received a letter from Ye Cang. After reading it, he handed it to Luo Sha beside him.
The Kingdom of Sichuan divided the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind into North and South. Interestingly, the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Fire have dense jungles, while the Kingdom of Wind to the south of the Kingdom of Sichuan is a piece of yellow sand and Gobi.
Taking the border of Kawa no Kuni as the dividing line, the border of Wind Country, which is adjacent to Kawa no Kuni, looks like a desert with sparse trees. Further south, there is rolling yellow sand.
At this time, the Suna Ninja army is right here on the border of the Kingdom of Wind. To the north, there is the densely wooded Kawa Country and the Konoha Ninja Army camp.
Different from the shocking scene in my impression of eight thousand troops approaching the battle, the entire Gobi desert was silent at this time. Even the nearby Konoha outpost didn't find anything.
At this time, eight thousand Sunagakure ninjas were quietly and deeply burying themselves in the yellow sand.
In order to hide themselves, the Third Kazekage used the secret technique of lurking in the sand developed by Magnetic Release to "pull" eight thousand ninjas into the yellow sand from several miles away.
The huge magnetic chakra wrapped around each ninja like a dense coil, holding up the heavy sand and blocking out any outside exploration.
This is what the Third Kazekage is most proud of about the secret technique of latent sand he developed. Using the electromagnetic force of the magnetic escape coil, the chakra reactions emitted from the outside can be offset by each other. No matter the sensing ninja or the Byakugan, they can't detect the sand ninja's. trace.
After that, the Third Kazekage single-handedly brought the entire ninja army to the border.
In order to ensure that the ninjas could breathe during the stealth process, the Third Kazekage tried his best to provide enough space for each ninja.
During the whole process, all the ninjas remained quiet, trying to hold their breath and not making a sound, full of awe of their own Kazekage.
There is no reason why our Sand Hidden Village should not be prosperous with this kind of scenery!
However, even the Third Kazekage was exhausted after reaching this level.
At this time, receiving the message from Ye Cang, unlike Luo Sha, who was frowning, the Third Kazekage was first angry at Ye Cang's imprudent selection of people, then angry at Tao Jingsha's incompetence, and finally turned into a sigh.
As the Kazekage, he had done everything he could.
At this point, the only option was to launch an attack immediately.
The Sand Ninja had spent a long time preparing for this attack, and there was no way it would just end hastily because of possible oversights.
The best way is to attack quickly before Konoha can react!
As for the possible patrol team, it is no longer important.
Looking at Luo Sha who was carefully reading the information next to him, the Third Kazekage was filled with relief. He was very satisfied with this disciple who had inherited the mantle of Magnetic Escape.
After this battle is over, the secret techniques of sand iron and hidden sand will be taught to him. The future of Sand Hidden Village will be left to him.
