Chapter 22 Encounter(1/2)

Aburame Tetsumaru walks quickly with a snail-shaped True Eye on her head. The viewing angle is reduced to 90 degrees and the focusing distance is increased to about 400 meters. At the same time, the pixel contrast state is turned on, which can easily determine whether someone is moving within the field of view.

, and can even determine traces of activities within a day.

The entire team adopted a diamond formation, with Aburame Tetsumaru as the leading soldier, Matt Dai and Nakahiro Fumishi behind him on the left and right, and lastly the leader, Hayato Ueno.

The distance between everyone in the team is more than 25 meters, which exceeds the killing range of all B-level ninjutsu and can avoid losing two team members at once when attacked.

As for A-level ninjutsu and some of the stronger S-level ninjutsu, some ninjutsu have larger killing radius ninjutsu, and the formation of the ninja team is not considered.

On the one hand, if the distance is further apart, it will be difficult for the team members to respond and coordinate, and the entire team's formation will fall apart.

On the other hand, it takes time for even a jounin to launch A-level or higher range-killing ninjutsu. There is no instant or single seal, and chakra fluctuations are strong. After ninjas judge the situation, they can quickly distance themselves to avoid it.

Or gather together to resist.

If they encounter a Kage-level warrior who can quickly perform A-level or above ninjutsu, a chuunin team like the Ueno team has nothing to do. It will be a dead end anyway.

Aburame Tetsumaru suddenly raised his hand, and the three teammates reacted at the same time. The left and right wings moved away from each other and spread their guard, and the captain of the rear guard moved closer.

"Captain, there are traces of ninjas and puppets passing by here within half a day."

Ueno Hayato carefully examined the traces pointed out by Aburame Tetsumaru and quickly made a judgment.

"A reconnaissance team, four ninjas, and two puppets passed through here last night. Judging from this direction, they should be heading towards our camp."

Captain Ueno immediately called two team members to come closer, and then issued an order: "The enemy passed here and headed towards our camp. According to the requirements of the tactical patrol mission, we must track and expel or kill them."

"Pumice stone, leave a mark here to give a hint to the following patrols."

"yes."

"Dai, send the information we found back to the camp."

"yes."

Mattei immediately took off the backpack on his back, took out a pen and paper to write down the information, then tied it to the leg of the communication bird he carried with him and let it fly.

The communication bird quickly circled five times, and after rising to a sufficient height, it turned towards the camp and flew away.

Captain Ueno nervously watched the communication bird take off, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it had reached a safe height.

There are no enemies lying in wait nearby.

He began to issue new orders.

"Everyone, abandon unnecessary burdens and adopt a one-line pursuit formation. The iron pill is at the beginning, followed by the pumice stone, Dai, and I are at the end."

"Remember, the sand ninja who can infiltrate here and go straight to the camp is definitely a tough one. Everyone must be careful and obey my orders absolutely."

"yes!"

Ueno Hayato inspected his three subordinates and asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

Aburame Tetsumaru shook her head and said nothing.

"No problem." This was Zhongguang Pumice's answer.

"Youth doesn't ask questions..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Shut up, prepare now, and leave immediately."

"Yes!"x3

After receiving the order, Aburame Tetsumaru and Matt Dai took off their backpacks. They were the strongest and most physically fit in the team, so they shouldered the team's baggage. Nakahiro Fuishi and captain Ueno only carried their ninja kit bags.

Half of the backpack Aburame Tetsumaru carries is his own bugs, and he needs the support of these bugs in his battle.

He took out two flat boxes from his backpack and opened the larger one. Six dragonflies took off silently, and the largest dragonfly flew high above the canopy of the tree.

Then I opened the smaller box, and there was only a large flutter moth inside. Its biggest feature was a pair of grid-shaped tentacles that were larger than its wings.

The role of dragonflies is to go forward for reconnaissance, and they can also carry a few parasites on their backs to make up for the parasites' slow speed. The reason why they are not used normally is that these dragonflies consume a lot of time flying and lose fat, consuming 10% of body weight per hour.

, the maximum flight time is five hours.

The dragonfly recovers slowly. It can recover up to 2% of its total body fat in one day. It takes at least 5 days to recover after flying for 1 hour. Moreover, it can only eat meat, so don't use it if you can.

The moth's tentacles have an exaggerated sense of smell and are extremely sensitive, which can replace the Inuzuka family's stunts to a certain extent.

In addition to these two kinds of bugs, Aburame Tetsumaru released several kinds of beetles and crawled on himself. He also selected a few boxes and hung them on his belt, and finally threw down his backpack.

Matt Dai's backpack was full of supplies. After he distributed the kunai and shurikens inside to the other two, he also dropped the backpack.

Get ready, the pursuit begins.

Aburame Tetsumaru took the lead, following the traces of progress and intermittent scent trails, while the other team members followed behind him, ready to support at any time.

It is easier to track at the beginning. People walking on the ground will inevitably step on grass stems and touch the soil, leaving various traces. These traces can be easily distinguished by relying on the true eye.

After tracking into the dense forest area, the enemies jumped forward on the trees, leaving fewer and shallow traces, making tracking much more difficult, and I had to slow down and distinguish carefully.

Half an hour later, Aburame Tetsumaru's moth captured enough coherent odor molecules to be able to distinguish the odor characteristics of the tracking target, and the tracking speed accelerated again, and became faster and faster.

The next step may be to approach the Konoha camp. The enemy's movement trajectory became tortuous. The tracking Ueno team traveled for about forty minutes, and the follow-up patrol team followed the road signs along the way to catch up.

The new team was not fully formed, and it seemed that the additional genin had either been seriously injured or disabled in the past half month, or had died.

According to rumors, Aburame Tetsumaru has added more than 400 genin in this wave, but the number has now been reduced to nearly 200.

A few minutes after the two teams merged, Aburame Tetsumaru's dragonfly directly saw the enemy, and he immediately warned the entire team.

The two captains came closer and surrounded Aburame Tetsumaru, waiting for his more detailed investigation results.

Aburame Tetsumaru closed her eyes and used a secret technique to synchronize the dragonfly's field of vision. The visual effect of the compound eyes was a bit like watching a TV with extremely blurry images in front of a multi-screen wall. The overlapping images were very unaccustomed.

In addition, the dragonfly keeps flying and turning in order to maintain its camouflage, and the chaotic scene makes people dizzy.

Aburame Tetsumaru endured the discomfort and slowly checked and distinguished: "The enemy is on the top of the mountain in front, close to the cliff, four of them."

"They are sand ninjas, one jounin, one chunin, and two genin."

"Their position can see our camp. The chuunin and a genin are observing, and the jounin and another genin are on guard."

Aburame Tetsumaru took out a pen and paper, marked out the terrain where the target was located, and marked the locations of the four enemies.

"The genin and chunin responsible for guarding are both puppet masters. The specific identity of the jounin cannot be confirmed."

Captain Ueno and the new Captain Tomita clicked their tongues together, frowning.

The war has been going on for more than a year, and everyone is already very familiar with the Sand Ninjas. To sum up, they are very troublesome and capable of fighting.

Captain Ueno said: "Sand ninja jounin, plus a puppet master chuunin, we can't bear it."

Captain Tomita said: "Call reinforcements, at least one jounin must come to support us. We are very close to the camp. The problem is that the sand ninja is stuck between us and the camp and is still observing the camp. How can we bypass the sand ninja?"

Captain Tomita is a thirty-year-old chuunin who should have participated in the last war and is very familiar with combat strategies. He immediately proposed a solution, but was unable to implement it.

"Notify the camp? This is easy to do." Captain Ueno responded immediately: "Tetsumaru, have you brought your sounding bug?"

"On my body."

"Give it to me and I'll send you the situation here and the message for help."

"Yes, Captain."

Aburame Tetsumaru then took a box from his belt, took out a pair of cicadas, and handed it to the captain.

Hayato Ueno picked up the insect, told the information to the cicada, and then let it fly.

The two bugs took off quickly and flew to the left and right sides. In the blink of an eye, they were blocked by trees and were invisible.

Sound bug, a cicada-like insect.

Aburame Tetsumaru discovered this insect and transformed it into a sound-transmitting tool insect.

The male sound bug has three characteristics: high-speed flight, female tracking, and recording and playback. It can record a sound for about 20 seconds, and then fly back to the female bug at high speed and play it continuously to attract the female bug.

The problem with the sounding bug is that it can only record a piece of audio, has no reusability, and can only be used as a consumable. Therefore, the price is quite unfriendly, and even the expensive Konoha Intelligence Department cannot accept it.

However, the wealthy Anbu and Genbu happily accepted it and even placed long-term orders.

Therefore, the ANBU in the camp have female sounding bugs in their hands, and these sounding bugs will fly directly to the ANBU, very close to the command post.

About ten minutes later, Aburame Tetsumaru discovered that a parasite that did not belong to him approached his warning circle. He immediately sent a signal to alert the captain that reinforcements had arrived.

When the reinforcements showed up, the two captains and Aburame Tetsumaru immediately recognized the leader. It was Tetsumaru's cousin, Aburame Shiguro.

"Great, the 'Almighty Ninja' Aburame Shiguro is here to support us, so these sand ninjas can't even think about running away."

Several genin were also very happy. Aburame Shiguro's team was the strongest, with an elite jounin as the captain, and the three team members were all chuunin. This kind of combat power was enough to deal with ten Ueno Hayato's teams.

Such a powerful team usually does not exist for a long time, unless they have just been promoted or are too young. Chunin should lead the genin as the captain, not as a team member.

Because the main body of the war in the ninja world is ninjas, the form of war is completely different from that of ordinary people's armies. Almost 100% of them are special operations. Battles with more than 20 people participating are quite rare.

A super powerful team that can defeat forty ninjas will usually only encounter three or four enemies in battle. From a tactical perspective, such a team is a waste of combat power.

Unless it is like the White Fang team on the front line of Kawakuni, it is a strategic team from the beginning and undertakes strategic tasks, so it is equipped with a super strong configuration. The goal of the Kage-level captain, Jonin and senior Chunin team members is to be able to

Go deep behind enemy lines to carry out destruction, and move freely among hundreds or thousands of enemies.

After the support arrived, Aburame Shiguro took over the command without hesitation, asked the two captains for information, and then took over Aburame Tetsumaru's dragonfly. After careful observation, they determined the raid tactics.
