Retreat Early and Reinforcements from the Enemy

When Mikawa successfully extinguished the flames with Water Escape, a tattered figure proudly appeared in their line of sight.

"Yo, is it raining?"

Hearing that this bastard Aoba was actually in the mood to joke around, Mikawa, who was relieved in his heart, really wanted to cut open this guy's head and see what dog shit was inside!

"Are you crazy? You only need to stall for time and wait for us to come over to help you defeat the enemy. Why do you want to show off? I have been teaching you all to be cautious along the way. Didn't you hear me?"

Looking at Aoba's injuries, Mikawa, who had resisted the urge to beat him up, kept spitting!

If something happened to this brat, Mikawa would probably never forgive him for the rest of his life!

In this regard, Aoba could only laugh bitterly in his heart.

If not for completing the mission issued by the dog system, he wouldn't be so crazy enough to challenge the enemy Jonin alone. In the end, he was afraid of being killed and even used a trump card like 'Self-Explosion Ninja'.

That's right!

When he first began to stock up on the explosive talisman, he had already predicted several ways to use it in advance.

After all, although the power of the explosion talisman was good, under normal circumstances, it was difficult to trick people unless it was a trap.

As a result, Aoba thought of a certain guy who always said the words 'art is an explosion'.

Although he was not as good as Deidara when he played with bombs, self-detonation was not bad!

The thing that Aoba was most proud of now was his defense, which was as tough as death.

If he stuck the Explosion Talisman on his body and held the enemy back in battle, wouldn't it work wonders?!

For this reason, he even experimented with some exploding talismans.

Sure enough!

A single explosion talisman could not break through his defense!

Only the power of multiple overlapping talismans could pose a threat to him.

It was just that after he had nearly lost his life, he no longer tried to push his limits.

And just now, in order to kill that black-skinned man, he had only put dozens of Explosive Talismans on his body!

The explosion of this number of Explosive Talismans and the injuries caused by his fully activated defensive mode was within the acceptable range.

Moreover, don't forget that he still had [Poor Quality Self-Healing Body] to speed up the recovery of his injuries.

However, with the explosion of these dozens of talismans at such a close distance, Aoba dared to conclude that ordinary ninjas could only give up and die!

Even the black-skinned man was not spared, and he completed the magnificent task of killing Jonin alone!

However, if not for the fact that the other party had consumed a large amount of chakra before and his Thunder Armor was only half-baked, Aoba estimated that he would have to use a lot more talismans to defeat that guy.

In short, although it was a bit risky this time, it was still within his control.

Aoba was quite satisfied with this result. It was just that he looked a little miserable. His body was covered in a dark burnt smell. There were many places where his flesh was torn open in many places, and he bled a lot.

However, his situation was actually much better than what he expected.

As for the dark-skinned man, he was even more miserable. He did not even leave a complete corpse behind. Only his upper body was still intact. He was already dead!

At the same time, Aoba also received a notification from the dog system to complete the mission. He was ready to check it later.

After Mikawa spat out a few words emotionally, he finally calmed down. Then, he said in a deep voice, "This place is no longer safe. Let's change to another place to rest."

Mikawa was right. They actually encountered enemy ninjas in this place. Moreover, there were quite a number of them. This all proved that their location was very dangerous. Only the heavens knew how many more enemies were hiding in the dark.

Moreover, the commotion here was not small. It would be fine if they attracted their own people to check, but if it were for the enemy, with their current terrible state, they definitely would die!

Therefore, it was the stupidest way to stay where they were and wait for reinforcements. Only by adjusting their state to the best could they have the capital to deal with the next unforeseen event that could happen at any time.

Therefore, Mikawa carried the heavily injured Aoba on his back. Then, he did not forget to take away the scrolls that he had hidden in advance. Then, he identified a certain direction and quickly retreated with Itachi and Gekkou Hayate.

Mikawa's cautiousness once again allowed them to avoid danger!

Because not long after they left, dozens of Kumogakure Ninjas rushed here to check the situation.

Moreover, almost all of them were either injured, or their weapons were stained with blood.

It was clear that their journey was not particularly smooth, and they encountered quite a few ninja teams from Konoha's side.

However, with the unequal intelligence, the sneak attack of Kumogakure's side had achieved a lot.

They had killed quite a few ninjas from Konoha's side, and they had also robbed a few batches of Konoha's supplies that were prepared to be transported to the front lines. Not only were there weapons, but there were also supplies among them.

This was a pleasant surprise for these 'bandits' who had snuck in!

However, when they arrived here and saw the miserable corpses of their compatriots, they all fell silent.

It was obvious that Konoha was not all soft persimmons!

Although they did not know what kind of enemies and how many enemies these ten companions had encountered, to be able to deal with eight Chunin and two Jonin, the other party must be strong!

What was worse was that this meant that Konoha had already begun to grasp a certain amount of their whereabouts.

Next, they would definitely send more reinforcements to encircle and annihilate these 'lone soldiers'!

Even if they did not intend to return to the village alive, they could not help but feel sad when they saw the corpses of so many of their companions.

"Even Omoi died in battle. The other party might have been sent by Jonin to lead the troops. What should we do? Should we continue to go deeper, or should we pursue them and take revenge for our dead companions?" The leader looked at the 'dark-skinned man' who could barely be recognized under his feet and was confused for a moment.

With the help of a mysterious person, although more than a hundred of them passed through the border of the Fire Country without much effort, after experiencing one battle after another, there were only about 70 people left.

If they wanted to attack Konoha's base with such a small number of people, they would have to fight with their backs against the wall and die!

However, for the benefit of the village, as long as their death could bring value to the village and make Konoha feel fear and take the initiative to retreat, they would not die in vain!

At this time, another person stood out and said, "We have basically killed all of Konoha's ninjas nearby. It is only a matter of time before our whereabouts are exposed. If we continue to move according to the original route, there will definitely be a large number of ambushes waiting for us ahead."
