Chapter 189 Fortunately
The drizzle kept falling.
It was as if a hole had opened in the sky.
Endless!
It was not yet six o'clock in the evening, but the dark clouds in the sky had already dimmed the light across the land.
This is the border area between the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Rain.
It is also the front line of small-scale battles between Konoha and Iwa Ninja.
In this land, it can be said that ninjas from both sides are fighting with each other almost every moment.
The losers left corpses behind, were either wiped out, or fled in panic. And the winner is not much better.
Even if you gain the upper hand in a fight, your opponent's dying struggle or the burst of power that creates life for your companions will always cause you a lot of trouble.
In a primitive forest, there are many giant trees surrounded by people. Each one is like an open umbrella canopy, blocking most of the drizzle that is as dense as silk threads in the sky.
In a clearing in the forest, there were lying corpses, as well as the nearby messy land and the red puddles on the land.
All of them showed people that a tragic fight had just occurred here.
And from the leaf-patterned forehead protectors worn by those figures who were cleaning up the mess, it showed that the winner of this battle belonged to Konoha's side.
At this time, a figure who was squatting on the ground and covering his companion with green light stood up.
This man, who stood about 170 centimeters tall, had his long, loose hair tied into a neat ponytail.
The few strands of bangs in front of her forehead, because they were wet from the rain, stuck tightly to her cheeks, looking messy and dirty.
Wearing an ordinary green vest on his body, it no longer looked bloated, but seemed to fit exceptionally well.
If it weren't for the cold expression on his face, it would destroy his temperament. Just because of his handsome appearance, I believe that many girls will regard him as the lover of their dreams.
"It's enough to clean it up. If it drags on for a while, those Iwa ninjas will probably catch up like crazy dogs again!"
"It's the captain!"
Without any delay, no matter whether they were the personnel on guard, those who were cleaning up the mess, or the wounded who were resting, they all immediately stood up and followed the captain towards the depths of the forest.
Without any instructions, the people who followed started to automatically divide into several teams one by one.
Two people followed the captain at the front of the team to clear the way, three people hung at the rear of the team, and six others were on the left and right sides of the team.
Everyone worked in groups of three, with a tacit understanding to protect the wounded in the middle. At the same time, the distance between each team varies from hundreds of meters.
The leader of this team is the fourteen-year-old Toshiro Uchiha. At this time, nearly two years had passed since he last met Orochimaru.
During this time, he has been engaged in infiltration and counter-infiltration tasks. Almost every few days, I have to fight with the Iwa Ninja.
Maybe he will return to the camp to recuperate for a period of time due to injuries or other reasons. However, as soon as his injury improves, a task will be handed over to him in the camp.
Keep him and his team exhausted!
After fighting for a long time, his whole temperament has become cold and chilly.
In the past two years, not only Iwa ninjas had died at their hands. From time to time, members of his own race would have their lives taken away by these rock ninjas.
Although his strength is not comparable to before, it is not to the point of being invincible.
In this cruel land, he can only protect himself and do his best to protect most of his fellow humans.
There are always some tribesmen who cannot adapt to the battlefield and leave their young lives here due to various mistakes.
Yes, young tribesman!
The companions he is leading now are all 'young' Uchiha people around ten years old.
Over a long period of time, tribesmen have been added to his team to fill the vacancies. For example, right now, there are three members of his own race who are only eight years old in his team, acting with them.
As for the remaining clan members, they are not that old. The oldest one is him, Long Huo and Zhao Xia.
Including him, there are a total of five people, each leading a three-person team, struggling to survive on this battlefield.
After driving for almost an hour in the rain, we finally arrived near a cave before dark.
After closing his eyes for a moment, he confirmed that there was almost no one inside, and Toshiro felt relieved.
"It seems that this stronghold has not been discovered by the enemy yet!"
Even so, Toshiro did not act rashly. Instead, he separated a shadow clone and went into the cave to check.
Seeing the safety signal sent by his shadow clone, Toshiro finally relaxed at this time. It seems that he can have a good rest tonight~
Taking the lead to enter this hidden and quite large cave, feeling the cold water vapor on his body and the uncontrollable trembling of some of his fellow tribesmen behind him, Toshiro quickly took out the A seal scroll came out.
He took out his specially customized natural gas heating equipment, raised a flame, and let his companions behind him start to warm themselves.
At this time, the shadow clone that Toshiro had separated in advance was not released directly. Instead, he took out another scroll that Toshiro was carrying and began to write and draw on it.
Not long after, dozens of sparrows, moths, snakes and rats flew out from the unfolded scroll. Either fluttering their wings and flying, or running and twisting out of the cave, scattering around.
These ninjutsu created with fake paintings of super beasts will serve as an early warning for them. If no one comes to disturb them tonight, they can have a good sleep.
Of course, except for the shadow clone, he had to maintain this ninjutsu throughout the night. Otherwise, without anyone to control it, these ninjutsu would probably be washed away by the rain outside in a short time.
Toshiro was extremely lucky that when he originally traded with Orochimaru, he chose this ninjutsu that had appeared in the original work.
Although this ninjutsu didn't help him much in combat, it helped him a lot in auxiliary investigation, warning, search, and even running away.
If he hadn't had this ninjutsu, he didn't know if he would have been able to survive until now~
