Chapter 347 Driving
"Captain, ahem...do I need to take action?"
Moonlight Gale is an active person, especially now that he is still young.
Kakashi watched calmly as the two Jinchūriki fought each other, and as the Red Team hid on the other side watching the battle, without saying a word.
The actions of the Anbu are different from the missions of the Red Team.
The Red Team needs to hand over the frontline ninjas to obtain intelligence and the source of the intelligence, but the Red Team is unaware that there is an Anbu team acting at the same time.
The Anbu team's duty is to protect and monitor the Red team.
So in theory, the Anbu team will not take action if they can avoid it, and will not easily reveal their presence.
The reason why the Anbu sent out a team was actually largely because Red Bean was on a mission. Otherwise, with Red, Iruka and the others, it wouldn't be worth it for Orochimaru to send Kakashi as well.
Kakashi didn't say anything, but Tenzang became concerned about Gekko Hayate.
"Your illness hasn't healed yet, why don't you go to the medical department? Lady Tsunade should be able to cure it."
Moonlight Gale always had dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, and coughed frequently, looking quite unhealthy.
"Ahem...it's okay. I've been like this since I was a kid. I'm used to it."
Moonlight Gale said while suppressing a cough.
In fact, there was nothing serious wrong with his body. He was just weak due to excessive exercise in recent years.
In recent years, under the care of Uzuki Yugao, the illness has long been cured, but the dark circles are difficult to get rid of, and coughing has become a habit that cannot be changed in a short time. And for a young person... isn't this quite cool?
Tianzang blinked and stopped talking, but stared blankly at Uchiha Itachi who had been silent all the way on the other side.
"Itachi, make sure to keep up with the captain and don't fall behind."
Uchiha Itachi knew that Tianzang cared about him, after all, he was the youngest in the team.
He nodded to Tianzang to show that he understood.
The average age of this Anbu team is unbelievably young. If you don't count Yota, they are about the same as the Red Team over there, but their strength is completely different.
As an elite force affiliated with the Hokage, Anbu ninjas know much more and are stronger than ordinary ninjas.
The Red Team had no idea that there was another team monitoring them from a distance. All five of them were secretly watching the battle between the Jinchūriki.
Lao Zi and Han fought for a long time, but in the end, because Han was younger, Lao Zi hit him with a granite elbow, which twisted his head and knocked him out.
Han flew into the territory of the Land of Earth, while Lao Zi continued to walk towards the Land of Grass.
"Hong, what should I do?"
Anko asked immediately.
Hong frowned.
Even if they didn't catch Han, they should at least determine Han's situation and where Lao Zi was going.
"Red Bean, take Iruka and find that guy. Confirm whether he's dead or alive, and bring the information directly back to Konoha. That Five-Tails Jinchuriki named Han shouldn't chase us out anymore."
"clear."
"Mizuki, follow me and follow the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. We need to make sure he has no intention of heading to the Land of Fire."
"Got it, Captain. Let's go now~"
Compared to Iruka's pragmatic approach to following Anko, Mizuki looked a little more flirtatious.
But Hong could see that Mizuki and Anko were not getting along, or perhaps they had some special ideas. With the mission at hand, Hong couldn't say anything and could only separate the two and let the more pragmatic Iruka follow Anko.
"What about me? What about me, teacher? There's also me!"
Yota bent his arm, and his fingers formed a semicircle, pointing towards himself from above his head.
Hong suddenly felt a headache.
"You... Mizuki, you carry Yota on your back. We need to get on the road quickly."
"..."
Mizuki's eyes twitched, but he couldn't refuse.
"Gee! Mizuki Horse, run! Gee!!"
"Hey, kid, keep your horse steady and don't sway here and there! Also, don't yell or you'll attract enemies!"
Yuta chuckled, closed his mouth, grabbed Shuimu's flowing long hair as a rein, and pulled her back and forth.
On the other side, Kakashi saw that Hong actually chose to split up his forces at this moment, and he said softly: "Idiot."
Even if the Red Team fights together, they may not be able to resist a Jinchūriki. Once they are divided, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. It seems that their mission is only to confirm the trace information, but this is not the Land of Fire. Accidents will always occur. Once discovered, they will most likely die.
"Captain, what should we do?"
Tianzang also saw the disadvantages of the Red Team's division of forces.
"You and Gekkou Hayate go to Anko's place. Itachi, you and I will follow Kurenai."
Kakashi is the strongest, so it would be more reasonable for him to lead the youngest Itachi to achieve a balanced result.
In this way, the Anbu team had to passively split up their forces to monitor and protect because of Hong's split-up operation.
......
Two days later, the Grass Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom took over the land.
"Hey, don't stop me. I'm not going to the Fire Nation."
Lao Zi said to the Konoha ninja in front of him with some impatience.
As early as the Third World War, he participated in the war in the Land of Grass and even met Minato, but the bombing of the Kannabi Bridge caused the Iwagakure to retreat, and the two great Jinchūriki, Lao Zi and Han, retreated before they appeared on the front battlefield.
So Lao Zi was somewhat familiar with the territory of the Grass Kingdom. He knew that this place had not yet reached the border of the Fire Kingdom.
But the Konoha ninja on the opposite side did not retreat even a step because of Lao Zi's impatience.
If Hiruzen were to return to the position of Hokage, he would probably negotiate amicably or even give in.
But with Orochimaru in power, there is no cowardly ninja in Konoha now!
"Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Lao Zi, the frontier is the Fire Country border. Jinchūriki are not allowed to enter without notification and permission from the village!"
Faced with the Jinchuriki, a ninja who was as terrifying as a monster, the Konoha ninja stood firm in front of Lao Zi even though his body was shaking.
"Hey! I know, you've told me three times, but I'm just passing through. I told you I won't go to the Fire Nation, why don't you understand?"
"I say again, the frontier is the Fire Nation!"
"Okay, okay, if you want to die, I'll grant you that!"
Lao Zi had a hot temper. He was already upset enough after running out of the village and being chased by his old friend Han. The Konoha ninja in front of him was so nagging, so he couldn't help but interrupted the other party's fourth warning.
"Molten Escape! The art of burning river rocks!"
Taking two steps back, Lao Zi quickly formed seals with his hands, and immediately spat out several lava balls, attacking the Konoha ninja.
Although the Konoha ninja is a ninja rotated on the border, he is just an ordinary Chunin, and it is really difficult for him to face such a powerful bloodline limit as Lava Release.
The lava ball was unstoppable, and the Konoha Chunin drew his ninja sword, ready to sacrifice himself.
Swoosh—swoosh—bang—
"Big Wind Demon Shuriken!"
call--
The lava ball was hit, deviated from its trajectory and flew out. After a flash of cold light, it returned to its owner's hand. Shuimu made a handsome appearance, caught the spinning half-man-high blade, and looked at Lao Zi coldly.
But the style was immediately destroyed by Tai.
Shuimu slowly stood up, and a beggar child appeared above his head, grinning.
"drive!"
