Konoha Thief

Chapter 54
After a few days of cultivation, and Shimokawa Yukina took the time to apply medical ninjutsu, Xia Shu's injury was almost healed.

The numbness on the right arm completely dissipated the next day after applying the antidote, and even Xia Shu felt that after this experience, he seemed to be more flexible than before.

After recuperating from the injury, they naturally couldn't stay in the rear hospital any longer, so the reorganized Aoki team finally set off again.

"The battle line has shrunk to the southwest of the Kingdom of Wind. Once a decisive battle breaks out, it will only be possible there."

"So, where are we going?"

"That's right!"

After a brief conversation, everyone in the team finished their preparations and set off immediately.

Leaving the domain of the oasis, the general landforms of the Kingdom of Winds are revealed.

The eyes are full of yellow sand, and the cloudless light blue sky reflects the desolate and desolate desert, and there are no people in a hundred miles.

Such a sight that shocked the people of Konoha Hidden Village in the middle of the ninja world was quite attractive at first glance, but after a long time, it just felt boring.

Seeing too many scenes of deserted people, I can't help but feel depressed.

Fortunately, this place can be regarded as the territory swept by Konoha's army. There may be dangers in the terrain, but there will be no enemy attacks, so the team travels extremely fast.

About three hours later, a dilapidated city after the flames of war emerged at the end of the line of sight. Covered by flying sand, a typical city of the Kingdom of Wind could be faintly seen.

"Let's go directly to the city!" Aoki Gennosuke, who was running at the front, said sideways.

"Yes!" Xia Shu nodded in response, knowing in his heart that these words were addressed to him and Kuno Heiyu.

After a while, the Qingmu team went straight into the city.

Xia Shu vaguely felt a few gazes sweeping over everyone, thinking that it might be a secret whistle or something.

"Aoki Chunin? Please come this way." The guiding ninja appeared from an alleyway, looked at the crowd from a distance, and waved and greeted everyone when he could see clearly.

"I'm Rei Hayama." The young man in a Chunin uniform walked in the alley with a smile on his face. After introducing himself, he pointed to a round earthen house and said, "This is where you rest."

After being brought to the place, Ye Shanling did not leave directly, but helped organize things, and said: "The decisive battle is approaching, and supplies are the most scarce at this moment, so each team may be sent to search for food, of course not all teams needs to be done.”

"En." Aoki Gennosuke nodded upon hearing this, and his eyes signaled the other party to continue talking.

"Besides that, it's the patrol team. The northwestern corner of the city was almost infiltrated by Sand Hidden before. Although it was detected later, several teams died, so the Aoki team will fill in the vacancy next." Rei Hayama Said slowly.

"Okay." Hirano Yiyi nodded with a sullen face.

"In that case, let's rest for now, just go there in the afternoon, and see you then." Ha Shanling said and left in a hurry.

After lunch and resting for a while, Xia Shu followed the others to the northwest corner of the city and walked all the way. He opened his eyes to the characteristics of the Land of Winds in this dilapidated city.

It is not uncommon for Konoha ninjas to come and go in a hurry, after all, this place is already considered to be the place where Konoha's army is entrenched.

Based on what he saw and felt, Xia Shu roughly estimated the strength of Konoha's troops, and the northwest corner of the city was getting closer in front of him.

At this moment, some ninjas had already gathered by the city wall, and they were reunited with each other, and they were all arranged in small groups, which was obviously the same reason as they were here.

Kuno Heiyu looked east and west, suddenly bumped his shoulder against Xia Shu, and said in a low voice, "Look over there."

Xia Shu Xunzhi looked sideways, and saw Rei Hayama following a female johnin, slowly coming towards this side.

"Captain Jinya!"

"Captain Jinya!"

"Jinya..."

From the successive greetings, Xia Shu knew that this icy-faced female ninja was named Kinya Sari, and she was the commanding ninja who was in charge of the patrol and defense line.

Mind fluttering, Xia Shu looked at Kinya Sari without any trace.

The steps are light and vigorous, and the physical skills are obviously not bad, but the ninja sword is standard. I don’t know whether it is using the hand or mastering a few sword skills, but most of the female jōnin are good at ninjutsu. I think this Kinya Sari probably is also like this.

"Continue to execute according to the previous patrol plan." Kinya Sari said, and the ninja team gathered here suddenly left in a hurry.

"The other teams that join in will not be arranged to guard in the afternoon. You can choose a team to follow at will and find out what needs to be done. As for the plan to guard, it will be issued to the leading ninja in the evening." Jin Ya Sari's words were concise and clear, she paused for a moment, scanned her indifferent eyes, and said, "Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"understand!"

"Bright……"

The ninjas led by each team, including Gennosuke Aoki, responded loudly.

Seeing this, Jinya Sari nodded in satisfaction, and disappeared in place in an instant.

Rei Hayama then stepped up and greeted with a smile: "Captain Aoki, why don't you follow my team."

"That would be great, Captain Hayama." Of course, Gennosuke Aoki would not refuse the other party's kindness, and with a greeting, Natsuki followed closely to Hayama Rei's team.

Rei Hayama is in charge of the line of defense, and the form of work is to stand on the city wall, look across the distance, alert and identify possible threats, so the knowledge related to this is taught by precepts and deeds.

"Besides, the person in charge of this work must master specific signaling methods. There are two types. One is to quickly transmit explicit messages when many enemies are attacking, and the other is to transmit explicit messages when a small number of enemies are attacking. Concealed and precise information, so as to set up traps in reverse." At this point, Ye Shanling suddenly smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Of course, the final decisive battle is coming, and the small group of enemies has not appeared for a long time. As for the huge number of enemies... Ha ha! I doubt whether Sand Yin, who has been retreating steadily, still has the courage to take the initiative to attack!"

The joke in these words is not concealed, but Natsuki shook his head secretly. The war that has undergone several changes on the battlefield has continued to this day. Neither Sha Yin nor Konoha can persist. Manpower, material resources, resources, and ninjas are gradually breeding. The war-weariness sentiments are doomed that the decisive battle is not far away.

The difference between Sand Hidden and Konoha is that there is an internal problem, which is inferred from the border attack. However, whether it is for revenge or for the future of Ninja Village, Sand Hidden is definitely the one who starts the war first.

What's more, taking this city as a entrenched place, from a strategic point of view, Konoha is equivalent to giving up the geographical advantage. Even though Konoha does not have a geographical advantage in the first place, it will change. If Sand Hidden launches an attack, what will happen? It's so unpredictable.

Of course, Natsuki is even more skeptical that the whole city is a bait to attract Sand Yin.
