Naruto Life of Merit

Chapter 12 Trap
A team of six is ​​walking cautiously in the forest, and everyone in the team is carefully observing the surroundings.There is no room for them to be careless. Several teams before them have already been attacked and the whole team was wiped out. Traps and enemy kills may appear at any time.The death of their comrades reminded them all the time that this was not an easy and happy pursuit.

Gently pushing aside a branch, watching a thin steel wire hidden under it reflecting the metallic luster in the sunlight, Yamada couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.As a reconnaissance team member of this pursuit team, Yamada is under tremendous pressure at this moment, and every move he makes may lead to the team's destruction.

The opponent has a master at setting traps, but no matter how clever the trap is, as long as it shows its feet, it has a chance to be broken. "It's a trigger trap, the killer's trump card is..." After Yamada signaled to the teammates behind him to stay alert, he began to look for the lethal weapon hidden on the side. Generally speaking, the core of this kind of trap is mainly Kunai. Local tyrants will also use high-strength ninja tools such as detonating charms, and of course some people will set up some powerful enchantments.

Follow the steel wire all the way to the crown of a big tree. "There!" Yamada was overjoyed, and gently let go of the branch in his hand to ensure that it would not touch the steel wire. Then he walked carefully towards the big tree, preparing to remove it and clear away obstacles along the way, to pave the way for the people behind him. It is also one of their tasks to ensure the smooth flow of the road.

However, just when Yamada took a step, with Yamada as the center, a spell with red stripes on a white background appeared on the trunk of a big tree five meters away from him in four directions, front, back, left, and right. It glows red.

[Banning circle]: Use the spell as a guide to imprison all actions of the enemy in the space of the circle.

The spell flashed, and Yamada and others suddenly found that their bodies seemed to be squeezed by the air, and they couldn't move at all.Although they were caught off guard, they are people who have experienced life and death after all. In an instant, Yamada and the others erupted chakra almost at the same time, hoping to use this method to break the restriction.

In fact, it is feasible to rely on the instantaneous burst of chakra to break the enchantment.After all, enchantment cannot be separated from the category of ninjutsu, and the strength of power is directly linked to the strength of chakra.

As long as the strength is temporarily increased in the way of bursting chakra, and the chakra that maintains the magic circle is consumed, getting out of trouble is not a dream.But the premise is to have time.

Just when the magic circle was activated and Yamada and others were trapped, dozens of sufferings poured down from the canopy of the surrounding trees.

In the blink of an eye, six squad members lost their lives.The banning talisman on the big tree also completed its mission, and disappeared into the air with the red light.

In a bush not far from the trap, two pairs of bright eyes had a panoramic view of the scene.In less than half a minute, a six-person team was completely trapped in a trap. In the future, it is necessary to refresh the impression of the trap again.

"What? Is this unexpected?" On the side, Qian Shouyuejian glanced at the future whose eyes were about to fall out, feeling amused in his heart, it was just a trap, so there was no need for such a big reaction.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Future looked at Qianshouyuejian suspiciously.In his opinion, this kind of trap that can easily wipe out several ninjas or even dozens of ninjas is not ordinary.

"The reason why a trap is a trap is at best a dead object. The power of a trap depends on the owner who sets it up, and to a large extent it is also related to the quality of the materials used to make the trap," Qian Shouyuejian warned All around, he said in a low voice, "The success of the trap just now is mainly due to the ingenuity of the trap and the fact that the prey in the trap is not strong enough. If it was Jonin, it would have broken through the confinement of the magic circle when Kunai fired it. "

"That's right." After listening to Qianshouyuejian's explanation, Future came to a realization.

"Speaking of which, don't you know all of this?" Senshou Tsukima looked towards the future in amazement, "Every ninja has to be taught this from an early age."

"I was guided by a samurai." Future whispered.

"Samurai? You?" Senju Yuejian felt even more strange, "But you know ninjutsu, right?"

"Yeah, is this weird?" Miki was a little confused. Could it be that samurai can't use ninjutsu?There is no such setting.

"This..." Senshou Yuejian just wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that a samurai also has the energy of Chakra and can use ninjutsu, and then he said helplessly, "You are right, I am ignorant. Alright, that's the end of the chat, let's change direction."

"Oh..." Future looked at the enemy in the distant forest, and immediately rushed to the next blocking location with Qian Shouyuejian.

……

In a hidden place in the forest, more than a dozen armored ninjas are quietly gathering here.

In the center of this group of ninjas, a pale middle-aged ninja was concentrating on checking the map.Yuyi Nakashi, the elite Jōnin of the Yuyi clan, is the commander of the leading ninja unit in Yuyi.

This time, Yu Yi Zhongzhi realized from the very beginning that it would be very difficult, but he did not expect the failure to come so quickly.

A 100-member troop led by Nakashi Hagoromo arrived in this area a day ago. The 100 people consisted mainly of vassals and hired ninjas, plus the ninjas of Yuyi's own clan.Three Jnin, six special Jnin, plus thirty Zhongnin, and the remaining sixty Jnin.

Through the intelligence of the reconnaissance team, when he learned that a group of 40 enemy troops was approaching, Nakashi Hagoromo immediately led the crowd to lay an ambush with the confidence brought by the strength in his hands.

With intentional calculation and unintentional calculation, take advantage of the opponent's detection loopholes, concentrate superior forces and drag the enemy into melee. After all, the composition of your own troops is too complicated, and ninjas are not suitable for fighting in formation.

At the beginning, the enemy was stunned by the sudden attack, and then our own troops also completed the previous tactical deployment, and gained the upper hand in the battle.Yuyi Nakashi was very happy. In order to stabilize the results of the battle as soon as possible, he personally led two Jonin under him, and six special Jnin to go to surround and kill the enemy commander.

What Yu Yi Zhongzhi didn't expect was that the other party's plan was the same as his own, but it didn't matter, and it saved him from looking for it.But accidents will always happen, no, the enemy waved his hand, and a whole five junin surrounded him at the same time.

There is nothing wrong with two fists being difficult to defeat four hands, but the premise is that the strength of the two sides is not very strong.In less than 1 minute of fighting, half of the six special jounin died.In less than 3 minutes, only Nakashi Hagoromo and two Jōnin were left.The battle situation was one-sided, and in the end, Nakashi Hagoromo was injured and fled, the troops were reduced by more than half, and the high-end combat power suffered heavy losses.

After the defeat and evacuation, Yuyi Zhongzhi immediately asked for help from nearby friendly forces, and the rest could only adopt a shrinking defensive strategy.

But a quarter of an hour ago, intelligence of the enemy's retreat suddenly came from the front.The enemy is going to slip!This was Nakashi Yu's first thought, and it was inevitable. In the previous battle, the troops of the Thousand Hands Clan lost a lot.

But should the whole army press on?This was Nakashi Hagoromo's second thought.Just when he was hesitating, an order came from the rear headquarters to entangle this army at all costs.

The pursuit operation has started for more than an hour, but the progress is very unsatisfactory.The enemy left a small team, set many traps along the way, and attacked and killed them from time to time. So far, they have lost nearly 30 people in five teams. If it wasn't for the pursuit, the follow-up troops In addition, Yu Yi Zhongzhi's hands have fallen into the point where he has no soldiers to use.However, the failure of these two actions was enough for Nakashi Yuyi to be blamed by the clan.

"Shua!" A ninja suddenly appeared, half-kneeling in front of Yuyi Nakashi, and said in a solemn voice, "My lord, Ken-sama has brought the troops here."

"Oh! Where are they?" Yuyi Zhongzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he swore that this news was the best news he had ever heard.

"Haha! I'm here." A burly figure appeared in front of Yuyi Zhongzhi accompanied by the whirlwind, and his resolute face revealed a confident demeanor.

Nakashi Hagoromo stepped forward quickly, bowed and saluted, "Nakashi Hagoromo, Commander of the Third Hybrid Ninja Unit, welcomes Lord Ken."

Yuyi Ken, the elite Jōnin of the Yuyi clan, is the son of the current patriarch and the intended successor of the next patriarch. It is said that his strength is only inferior to the current patriarch.

"Zhongzhi has worked hard." Ken Yurong said solemnly.

"As the commander of the army, this time... I am extremely ashamed." Zhongzhi Yuyi's originally pale face became even darker for a moment.

Yu Yijian looked at Yu Yi Zhongzhi's seriously injured appearance, frowned and said, "Who hurt you?"

"Thousand hands are heavy." Nakashi Yuyi replied.

"It's him..." Ken Yuri smiled meaningfully, and said to Nakashi Yuyi, "Don't be burdened, victory or defeat is a common occurrence, and heal your injuries as soon as possible. Now the clan needs a master like you."

"Yes!" Yuyi Zhongzhi replied in a straight voice.

"Leave the rest to me." Takeshi Yuyi turned and looked deep into the forest, which was the direction Senju Shigema retreated.
