Chapter 63: Breaking through the enemy lines
Just as Uchiha Mingjing and Namikaze Minato were introducing each other, more and more people came to the tent.
Among them, Mingjing only knew one.
He was a Hyuga ninja who looked about 17 or 18 years old and had long hair.
He was the brother of Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi.
There were some other ninjas, a total of more than ten.
Most of these people were wearing jonin vests, and Mingjing also noticed that most of the people present were young ninjas.

"Very good, now everyone is here, I will briefly introduce this mission."
Orochimaru stood up from his seat and led everyone to look at the map behind him.
The range recorded in the map is the entire territory of the Rain Country and some surrounding areas.
"This time, the mission will be led by Duan. You will have to travel a long distance and attack the Sand Village's stronghold on the border of the Wind Country where logistical supplies are stored. At that time, I will mobilize the army and jointly carry out large-scale operations with the Rain Village to attract the attention of these Sand Village main forces."
"I blocked the news that Duan had recovered from his injuries in advance, so the enemy did not know that Duan had recovered his combat effectiveness. The other people present are all young ninjas from the village who are currently on the battlefield of the Rain Country, and they all have at least the combat power of the Jonin level."
"Because you are young, you are not famous yet, which also means that the enemy does not value and understand you as much as other Jonin. Even if you do not appear on the battlefield for a short time, you will not attract attention too early."
When Orochimaru said this, many people were secretly glancing at Uchiha Mingjing.
It was because Mingjing looked too young, and looked almost the same as when they just graduated from the ninja school.
"I have already told Duan the details of the mission. All your actions from now on will be decided by Duan. If you have more questions, you can go to Duan to ask. Do you have any questions?"
The ninjas shook their heads.
"Then, let's go!"
...
...
The dark clouds were heavy, the thunder roared, and the rain was pouring.
In the Land of Rain, this is the most normal weather.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
...
More than a dozen figures passed through the rain quickly.
"Mingjing, it's really amazing that you can become a jonin at this age."
Minato Namikaze moved very fast, talking to Uchiha Mingjing beside him from time to time.
He is the youngest jonin in Konoha after Orochimaru. Now the record may be broken, so he is naturally surprised by Uchiha Mingjing's age.
Many ninjas who were traveling with him also pricked up their ears curiously, listening to the movement here.
"No, Senior Minato, you misunderstood. I am only a Chunin now. I have many shortcomings in terms of military exploits and the ability to command operations, etc., before I can become a Jonin."
Mingjing said modestly.
"But..."
Mingjing showed his three-magatama Sharingan again.
"Orochimaru is not talking about Jonin, but about having the combat power of Jonin level."
After opening the three-magatama Sharingan, the insight and illusion ability of the eyes have been greatly improved. After being able to use the three-magatama Sharingan more skillfully, Uchiha Mingjing's strength has indeed entered the threshold of Jonin, and is no worse than ordinary Jonin.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Uchiha with three-magatama Sharingan!
This must be the combat power of Jonin level. Generally, Uchiha who open the three-magatama Sharingan are proficient in ninjutsu and illusion, which is quite comprehensive and can be called the elite among Jonin.
Even though Uchiha Mingjing is younger, he has a three-magatama Sharingan, so it is reasonable to have the combat power of a jonin level.
"Lord Kato Dan, one kilometer ahead, we found a border outpost of the Sand Village Ninja."
Hinata Hiashi's eyes were bulging with veins, and he used a pair of white eyes to explore while signaling to Kato Dan beside him.
"Okay, now we are close to the border between the Rain Country and the Wind Country. What we need to do now is to wait for the news from Orochimaru and Jiraiya."
Kato Dan, who was at the front, signaled everyone to stop.
There must be garrisons on the border of the Wind Country.
According to the plan, Orochimaru and Hanzo will now launch a large-scale attack on the enemy to attract attention, and then this special operation will take advantage of this opportunity to break through the border defense of the Sand Village.
In this way, even if they are discovered when trying to cross the enemy's border, the Sand Village will not be able to organize a large-scale army to intercept at this time.
Not long after, Namikaze Minato summoned a small toad.
This little toad from Myoboku Mountain brought the news that Orochimaru and his men had already launched an attack.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, with the help of Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan, who had all-round perspective, and other ninjas with perception abilities, including Kato Dan, the group successfully crossed the border of Sunagakure without alerting anyone.
Soon, the group followed Kato Dan's steps and found the first base of Sunagakure.
The overall strength of this stronghold is similar to the one Mingjing stayed in when he was a Genin. There are several jonin and special jonin as the highest commanders of the stronghold, with more than a hundred ninjas, including a large number of chunins, but also genins who were sent to such a second-line battlefield to experience the atmosphere of war.
Facing such a large enemy with the advantage of home defense, even if a few jonins want to break it, there will be certain casualties.
But fortunately, the leader of Mingjing's team is called Kato Dan.
At this time, Kato Dan, even if he excludes the spirit transformation technique, has the strength to enter the shadow level, which completely widens the gap with ordinary ninjas.
If it were Mingjing and others, the few jonin and special jonin in the stronghold might still need a lot of effort, but in Kato Dan's hands, they can't cause much trouble.
Mingjing followed Minato Namikaze, and nearly ten other jonins, while clearing out the remaining ninjas, focused their efforts on destroying the construction works and a series of stored materials in the Sand Village.
It is important to annihilate the enemy's manpower, but the most important task of their operation this time is to destroy the logistical reserves of the Sand Village ninjas, so that they lose the ability to continue to fight in the Rain Country for a long time.
Orochimaru saw clearly that the high-level forces of Iwagakure had suffered great losses in the previous war, so there was nothing to fear. The Sand Village was the main enemy that Konoha faced in the Rain Country.
