The Plan (Part-2)

Those who are alive just because their will is firm are just idiots in Kan's eyes.

It's not because their will is firm and they genuinely believe in the will of fire, It's just because they have not yet been tortured enough yet.

Kan's purpose is very simple, that is, to rescue these idiotic guys and use their hatred for Iwa to trick them into completing the suicidal mission.

One can say that this trick is really shameless, It's cowardly.

But that is how Kan lived for a decade despite being in fodder ranks; What do those self-righteous pricks know about those who do all the self-sacrificing work without getting any credit?

Some might try different tactics and make their name known throughout the land, But Kan actually never cared about it.

He is not Uchiha, He is not Hyuga. He does not want to become a Hokage or anyone of significance either. Getting famous and gaining status is the last on his list, Survive. That's all he wants.

Kan Korimachi and Uchiha Mikoto are only responsible for baiting the guys out, No matter how.

...

The two of them moved forward cautiously for two days, and they met the group of Konoha ninjas who had been escorted back to their secret base.

At this time, Kan and Mikoto could be regarded as entering the back of Iwa's front line, a slight mistake means death.

The person in charge of the lookout is still Uchiha Mikoto. If it weren't for her, they would have to fight half of the Iwa army to get here.

"There are four guards", Uchiha Mikoto opened her eyes to observe and said, "And six Konoha prisoners"

"But their situation is a bit bad "

"It's a matter of course", Kan nodded, and then continued to ask, "Where is the nearest support point?"

"It is one or two kilometers away from here, and the direction of movement is the opposite. If we move fast enough, we should be able to rescue them"

"..."

"Maybe we can go around them", Uchiha Mikoto said, "Set some traps"

It is normal to arrange traps, especially against the squad that escorted the prisoners very slowly.

They have every opportunity to set up some traps after judging the course of the opponent's advancement, which is really not difficult for them.

"No", Kan shook his head and said, "Our mission is to rescue, not to attract a large number of enemies"

"But there is no one else"

"You can not be too cautious in these kinds of missions... Prepare for the ambush attack from the flank, You become the assaulter, and I will support. Watch out for any backup that has been hiding"

"Understood"

Kan was actually surprised how well she could work in a team, Usually, Uchihas are a pain to talk to. but her, talking to her is simple. They both acted immediately.

It didn't take long for the two of them to set up a simple ambush. At the same time, the two of them also quietly hid in different locations of the forest, quietly waiting for the prey to be hooked.

...

Quietly lurking on a tall tree, Uchiha Mikoto quietly opened her Sharingan and observe the surrounding situation.

Sure enough, two Iwa shinobis were secretly following the escort group from the distance.

'He is good', She thought, as she quickly made signs indicating the following shinobis.

He sighed and frowned but still nodded calmly indicating her to keep observing.

Mikoto was more interested in Kan than the rock shinobis though. This guy clearly has the capacity of a Jonin, He can calmly lead a suicide mission that would scare others. He even has the confidence to complete an impossible mission without actually dying, and he clearly knows when to attack and when to retreat, His battle prowess is not low either.

'Why is someone like him is still a Genin. Not to mention he is a member of the Shinobi corps, shouldn't they be useless fodders meant to sacrifice', She thought while being confused.

She was still thinking about this when a group of rock shinobis brought a group of Konoha prisoners into their ambush circle..!!

At this time, Uchiha was not allowed to think about it, watching those Iwa shinobis who stepped into the ambush circle, she looked at Kan who shook his head

She was confused but still does not attacked them.

Soon they were out of the ambush circle, and the Iwa shinobis following the escort entered the ambush circle.

"Wind Release: Curse Technique: Sleeper Cell"

Utilizing the winds, Kan emits a frequency of sound that targets can't audibly hear, but their brain subconsciously registers as information. While the target can't willingly access the information implanted, they will inevitably carry out the order upon hearing a specific "trigger frequency" only they can hear.

The Iwa shinobis secretly following the escort got stunned for a few seconds before resuming their march.

Soon they catch up with the escort. The number of Iwa ninjas escorting the prisoners were not that many, a complete team of four surrounded the escorted Konoha Ninja in a diamond shape.

*Snap

Kan snapped his fingers, triggering the Iwa shinobis following the escort.

Shoo! Shoo!

The sound of breaking through the air immediately rang. Although the incident happened suddenly, the four Iwanin obviously had foreseen it a long time ago.

After all, this is a battlefield. Although it is close to their rear, it is definitely not a safe place.

But when they saw their own men attacking them, they were shocked

Tink

"What are you doing Nobu", One asked while blocking the sword from Iwa shinobi Nobu

Tink

Tink

Tink

The battle raged, as they attack and defend using their sword or Kunais.

While they were fighting, Kan and Mikoto watch the battle from a safe distance.

"How did you do that?"

"It's a curse technique, They are under Genjutsu... Let's go"

Snake → Dragon → Tiger → Monkey → Ram

"Earth Style: Earth Crushing Spikes"

The Iwa escort shinobi hit his hand on the ground

He channels earth-natured chakra through the ground and causes an uprising of spiked earth that impaled the targets.

Kch

Kch

The escort shinobi wipe the blood leaking on his mouth, as he watched his comrades dead. These two dead bastards that were following their escort killed three of his fellow comrades. While he himself was tired and injured.

The Iwa ninja standing in the forefront is someone with rich experience in actual combat. Although he was just doing an escort mission he is not an idiot.

It is not clear what happened to these guys, he is sure that this is an ambush from Konoha, so he never let go of his vigilance. Pity, he was already tired and injured.

Soon a shadow appeared behind him.

Tink

He blocked the attack at the very last moment. As he jumped back as soon as possible, She just kept standing there

"Hehe; To think that the black charcoal herself came to...

She started running forward and throws a bunch of shurikens at him.

Tink Tink Tink

Iwa shinobi swing his Kunai to block those shurikens as she jumped right in front of him

"Fire Style: Fireball jutsu"

She blows a small fireball at him that he managed to dodge easily.

She continued her onslaught attack

A slight spark appeared when the two shinobis collided with each other,

There was a clear metallic sound.

Kan who was hiding at his spot counted to 10 before utilizing his Body Flicker to rapidly enhance the speed of his chakra thread formation at the precise moment he releases them. The momentum given to these threads, when combined with his ability enables him to create razor-sharp wires.

While the Iwa ninja was guarding against Mikoto, he suddenly was stunned.

He slowly raised his hand and hold his throat which was sliced open and a huge amount of blood was coming out of it.

He fell on his knees still holding his throat.

"So fast", He muttered in a very hoarse voice as he died without even seeing his killer.

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned in her heart. The speed of this wire is a bit scary.

'He definitely is not a fodder material', She thought as Kan appeared beside her

"Good job", said Kan as he moves towards the cloth-covered wagon.

"You weren't bad either", answered Mikoto while moving towards the cloth-covered wagon as well

"Ready?", Kan asked as he held the curtain of the wagon

Mikoto nodded as she opened her Sharingan and made hand signs ready to attack as soon as possible

And they lift the curtain of the wagon... only to see Konoha prisoners covered in blood all over their bodies with torture marks and ragged clothes.
