Chapter 18 Retreat

"Captain Nakajima and Takuto Aburame are unconscious. We can only take his head and go back to hand it over to the village to see if the village can extract any useful information!" Okamoto Dousuke said coldly.

"Let's go, Sister Ritsu."

Okamoto Dousuke and Hinata Tateie each carried one person on their backs and rushed towards the Land of Fire.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Hinata Tateie and Okamoto Dousuke were shuttling through the woods.

"Dosuke, hurry up. The other side may send someone at any time." Standing on the trunk of a big tree, Hinata Tachibana wiped the sweat from her forehead and lifted up Takuto Aburame on her back.

The battle just now and the long journey made Hyuga Ritsu and Okamoto Dousuke gasp for air.

gas.

Okamoto Dousuke carried Nakajima Sodai on his back and leaned him against a tree. He took out a steel wire from his tool bag and started to set a trap.

Okamoto Dousuke set the trap not expecting to stop the Sunagakure pursuit troops, but just wanted to find out the distance between the enemy and them.

So every time he traveled a certain distance along the way, Okamoto Dousuke would stop and set a trap.

"Okay, got it." After setting the trap, Okamoto Dousuke simply responded, then carried Nakajima Sodai on his back and continued on his way.

There was a faint trace of blood seeping from the bandaged abdomen.

There was no conversation along the way. Okamoto Dousuke and Hinata Tateie did not speak. They just kept their heads down and hurried on.

The east began to turn white, and several figures were constantly shuttling back and forth in the dense forest.

"We've finally arrived at the Land of Fire." Hinata Tachie stopped walking, her tone a little excited.

Okamoto Dousuke did not answer. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings. "Tateie-sister, do you feel that the surroundings are too quiet?"

Roll your eyes, open.

After hearing what Okamoto Dousuke said, Hinata Ritsu also felt something was not normal.

The weather is getting warmer this month, and early morning is the time when insects and birds are most active, but there is no sound of insects or birds around them.

Hinata Ritsu's eyes were exposed with veins. In the Byakugan's 360-degree field of view, there were six ninjas surrounding her and Okamoto Dousuke.

"Doujie, we probably can't leave." Hinata Ritsu smiled bitterly and made a gesture of being surrounded. He put Aburame Takuto on the ground and took a fighting stance.

Looking at Hyuga Tateie's actions, Okamoto Dousuke was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.

He gently laid the unconscious Nakajima Sodai flat on the ground. He pressed five detonating tags under his body, secretly making a simple trigger trap.

The detonating tags were distributed to him by Nakajima Sodai when he left the village. Everyone had two, and Nakajima Sodai, as the captain, had three, which were distributed by the village.

Okamoto Dousuke also took out Nakajima Sodai's detonating tag.

"Dousuke you..." Looking at Okamoto Dousuke's actions through his white eyes, Hinata Rie swallowed the words that came to his lips.

The corpse of a ninja can reveal too much information. Konoha can extract certain information from a corpse that has been dead for no more than twenty-four hours.

"Captain Nakajima is the village's top ninja and must know more information than us, so his body must not be left alive." Okamoto Dousuke said in a cold tone.

He stood up straight, took out a kunai, and stood back to back with Hinata Ritsu, assuming a fighting stance.

"I will try my best to find the weak point in their defense line and give you a chance to break out. You have to survive. Unfortunately, I still want to use you to find Lady Tsunade." Hinata Tachie said in a low voice.

"Let's talk about it after we can get back alive. Do you think there is still a chance, Sister Tachie?" Okamoto Dousuke said helplessly as he felt the heat coming from the delicate body behind him.

"I didn't expect there are Byakugan. There's no need to hide. Little brat of Konoha, surrender." Five veiled Sand Village members walked out from all directions.

Seeing Sunagakure walking out of the woods, Okamoto Dousuke's heart instantly sank. He and Hyuga Ritsuie had just fought with the second Yang Cang and had been traveling for a long time, so their chakra was only one tenth of what it had left.

When they set foot in the Fire Nation, they thought that the other side had no pursuit troops, but they did not expect that the other side would run directly to the front and wait for them. There was no chance of winning at all.

The Sand Village Interrogation Team is subordinate to the Sand Village Anbu, and their job is to interrogate and analyze intelligence from enemy village ninjas.

The main combat force of the Sand Village Anbu monitors the situation of the One-Tailed Shukaku Jinchuriki, so the tracking of the rebel ninja and the analysis of intelligence are mainly carried out by the interrogation team.

"It seems that the two Yang Cangs were killed by the opponent's team, and they don't want to surrender." One of the Sunagakure jonin said as he looked at Hinata Tachie and Okamoto Dousuke who were in fighting postures.

\"Take it away.\"

The five Sand Villagers launched an attack instantly.

A wind blade attacked Okamoto Dousuke and Hinata Tachie, and Okamoto Dousuke clenched the kunai in his hand.

At this moment, a strange-shaped kunai flashed past Okamoto Dousuke's eyes.

"Earth escape, earth formation wall" a wall of earth formed in a circle and surrounded Hinata Tateie and Okamoto Dousuke, blocking all attacks directed at them.

A young man with golden hair, wearing a Konoha standard jonin vest and a Konoha forehead protector, squatted in front of Okamoto Dousuke.

"It looks like reinforcements." Looking at the ninja who suddenly appeared in front of him, Okamoto Dousuke's heart skipped a beat.

"We caught up!" The golden-haired young man turned around and smiled at Hinata Tateie and Okamoto Dousuke.

"I'm here, you guys can leave. Konoha has no plans to go to war with Sunagakure now." Namikaze Minato looked at the Sunagakure around him.

"Who do you think you are, you little brat...wow." The Sand Village jonin who led the team said disdainfully.

Before he could finish his words, Namikaze Minato instantly appeared in front of the other party, and with his hand he used the Unsealed Ninjutsu, and the Rasengan was imprinted on the other party's body.

The Sand Village captain had his arm broken and was sent flying.

The remaining few Sand Villagers watched their captain being killed instantly, and they completely lost their desire to fight. One of them picked up the Sand Village captain who was knocked away, and disappeared in a flash.

"Hello, I'm Konoha's jonin, Minato Namikaze." Watching the other party running away, Minato had no intention of chasing him. He turned around and greeted Okamoto Dousuke and the others.

Looking at Minato Namikaze in front of him, Okamoto Dousuke felt relieved. With this future Fourth Hokage, unless the Third Kazekage came, he and his companions were basically completely safe.

"Hello, Namikaze Jonin, I'm Okamoto Dousuke, a disciple of Sensei Tsunade." Looking at Namikaze Minato, Okamoto Dousuke felt relaxed in his heart, but he felt pain all over his body.

"Oh, so you are Okamoto Dousuke. I heard from Teacher Jiraiya that Senior Tsunade has accepted a talented disciple." Namikaze Minato said with a smile.

"Namikaze Jonin, why are you here? And I didn't notice you just now!" Hyuga Ritsu on the side asked Namikaze Minato who had a gentle face.

"Oh, it's like this. I was leading a team on an escort mission nearby and discovered that some people from the Sand Village had invaded the territory of the Land of Fire. I have been observing them. I didn't expect that they were ambushing you."

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the village." Namikaze Minato said, looking at the two people lying on the ground, as well as the wounded Okamoto Dousuke and Hinata Tachie.

Okamoto Dousuke walked forward, dismantled the simple trigger trap, took out the detonating tag, and put it back into the ninja tool bag.

Minato Namikaze looked at the trap dismantled by Okamoto Dousuke, and could imagine that if he had not arrived in time, Okamoto Dousuke might have died together with the other party without hesitation.

"Let's go." Namikaze Minato walked to Hinata Tachibana's side and picked up Aburame Takuto from the ground.

The three of them walked towards the village together.
