Chapter 40: Playing the long game

· After verifying his identity, the leech quickly stepped forward to check on Ryotaro's injuries. After an examination, he found that he was just exhausted.

  He frowned and asked, "What happened?

  Aren't you in the East Dead Team? Why are you here?"

  Ryotaro did not dare to hide anything and narrated the whole story in a concise manner: "When we were carrying out the mission,

  a man in white named Luo...Luo...Luo Yongxin suddenly appeared and claimed that this area was the territory of their Taihao organization.

  After the negotiations between the two sides failed, he just raised his hand and instantly killed three Chunins. Captain Dong Siren knew that he was no match for them, so he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

  He said that maybe only a jonin could hold him back for a few seconds, buying me some time to pass the information to you and Captain Hunting."

  Hiss~

  Upon hearing this, everyone took a dozen breaths of cold air, one breath per person, contributing to global warming. Even the campfire swayed a little.

  In a head-on fight, he killed three Chunins with just a wave of his hand. Even if he underestimated the enemy, it was not something that an ordinary Jonin could do.

  Even in the Iwagakure Village, there are only a handful of people who can do this: Lord Tsuchikage and the two Jinchūriki.

  Regardless of who is stronger or weaker between Luo Yongxin and the three adults, based on this move, the threat he poses to the special operations team is already fatal.

  "Tell me more about his abilities," the demon leech asked, his head lowered. The ninja didn't really have much choice.

  For example, in the current situation, even though we know that the enemy's strength is very low, we will still be punished if we abandon the mission. At least the blame cannot be shifted to the Demon Leech, as he is the boss of the special operations team.

  So he still wanted to give it a try.

  "He is very young, and is proficient in long-range lightning escape. With a wave of his hand, lightning is released. It flashes by and is not too noticeable, but it is extremely destructive to the human body.

  Unfortunately, Captain Dongsiren saw that the situation was not right and asked me to flee the scene to pass on the information, so I didn't get to see more."

  At this point, Ryotaro looked even more sad. If nothing unexpected had happened, Captain Dong Si Ren should have died in the line of duty.

  The demon leech clenched his fists in anger, with veins bulging on the back of his hands. Strictly speaking, the special operations team's mission could be considered an invasion, and they were invaders to the Kingdom of Wind.

  The head follows the butt. The leech didn't want to think about any stance issues. He only knew that his teammates were dead and one team was almost wiped out.

  So what can I do?

  No intelligence was collected, and as soon as they entered the territory of the Wind Kingdom, a team was wiped out by a mysterious organization that suddenly appeared.

  Then he was so frightened that he returned to the village in shame and reported to Lord Tsuchikage that the enemy was too strong and that it was fate that had doomed him, not his fault.

  He would definitely become the laughing stock of the whole village, and even the Genin would point fingers at him: Look, he is the legendary good-for-nothing ninja who was scared by a mysterious man into giving up his special mission.

  What is a special mission? A mission assigned by the Tsuchikage that can affect the fate of the entire village is a special mission.

  The meaning of coming to inquire about the intelligence of the Wind Country at this time is self-evident.

  I will never allow myself to become a burden to the village!

  Having made up his mind, the demon leech extracted chakra and turned it into a piece of sand to cover the bonfire, then drew his sword and pointed it forward: "Everyone, be on alert and prepare for battle.

  We must reunite with the detachment led by Shou as quickly as possible. It is too dangerous to continue to divide our forces!"

  "Captain Mozhi, do you want to avenge Captain Dong Siren?"

  Ryotaro hoped. When he thought that Captain Dong Siren's death was caused by his incompetence, Ryotaro felt extremely guilty.

  If I could be a little stronger, maybe we could all escape.

  A hint of embarrassment flashed across the eyes of the demon leech, and after a moment of silence, he apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to avenge the dead man in the east.

  Our mission is to gather intelligence on the unusual movements of the Wind Country. After we reunite, we will quickly withdraw from this area and temporarily avoid the limelight.

  Of course, if there is an opportunity, we will also collect relevant information about the Taihao organization to make the death of Dong Siren more valuable."
