We continued on our journey and had no obstructions within the Fire Nation.
As they gradually approached the edge of the Fire Nation, Gekko Honglian and the others spoke much less and were silent most of the time.
It's more like being vigilant than being silent.
During this war period, there would often be unrest within the Fire Nation, not to mention leaving the Fire Nation.
At this time, the Rain Country is basically full of dangers and may encounter enemies at any time.
The Rain Kingdom is located at the junction of the Fire Kingdom, the Wind Kingdom, and the Earth Kingdom.
It borders three countries at the same time and is a very important thoroughfare.
Before we even set foot in the Land of Rain, the weather had already changed. There was no longer the clear blue sky and bright sunshine, but instead, there were thick dark clouds as big as mountains.
The atmosphere became increasingly heavy and depressing.
Finally, after stepping into the Land of Rain, raindrops began to fall from somewhere.
The raindrops were fine at first, and then became heavier.
Moonlight Honglian walked in front, while Ishigami and others followed.
As the team leader, Yueguang Honglian is responsible for handing over tasks, exchanging information, etc.
In the Land of Rain, Ishigami and his crew quickly obtained the information passed on by the Konoha scouts, and then began to carry out the mission mentioned by Gekko Honglian.
This mission was actually being carried out by other Anbu teams at the same time, and it was a war-like mission.
"Tianyu, you walk in the middle, Anye and I will follow."
Asama Sana nodded slightly at Ishigami, then looked at Yamanaka Inoue and Gekko Guren.
Moonlight Honglian also said in agreement, "Well, Tianyu, you walk in the middle, so that if anything happens, there won't be any major mistakes."
"…"
The expression on Ishigami's face was a bit painful. They really treated him as a burden!
But when people care about you, you can't be ungrateful.
Helplessly, Ishigami could only nod and walk in the middle of the team.
Behind them, Yamanaka Inoue and Asama Sana nodded to each other.
"Protecting Tianyu is also one of the tasks."
"However, with his talent, I think he can become an outstanding elite ninja from a rookie after just a few missions."
"We just need to bear more responsibility for these first few missions."
After the two of them whispered a few words, they slightly distanced themselves from each other, forming a triangle with Moonlight Red Lotus, surrounding Ishigami in the middle.
Ishigami's face under the mask was already a little dark, and he finally shook his head helplessly.
never mind.
If someone wants to protect you, then be grateful for their kindness.
The team began to move forward and soon went deep into the Rain Country, and then began to carry out the mission.
There were no accidents during the execution of the mission.
The mission of Ishigami and others is to conduct more in-depth investigations based on the intelligence from the scouts, and once there is an opportunity, they can assassinate the enemy ninjas.
Simply put, it is to ambush or track and assassinate based on some intelligence.
In this way, nearly a month passed quickly in the Rain Country.
During this month, Ishigami had almost no chance to take action. It was almost always Yueguang Honglian, Yamanaka Haizhi and the other two who stood in front of Ishigami.
Ishigami can defeat all the ANBU candidate ninjas. In their opinion, his strength may be even stronger than Yamanaka Ino and Asama Sana.
But they were afraid that Ishigami would hesitate in the real fight, which would make the situation irreversible.
However, during this month, some of the views and keen insights put forward by Ishigami also made Yueguang Honglian and others marvel at Ishigami's talent.
However, despite their amazement, they still did not let Ishigami participate in this kind of life-or-death killing. At most, they asked Ishigami to clean up the battlefield.
The first few missions,
It's fine as long as Ishigami doesn't become a burden.
That's what they think.
Anbu ninjas usually have to go back and take over once every month at most.
Ishigami and his companions had already penetrated deep into the heart of the Rain Country. After completing another assassination, they were ready to retreat.
"We haven't had any casualties in this month."
Yamanaka Inoue kept his hands in the seal position, then slowly released his hands.
As Yueguang Honglian withdrew the ninja sword in her hand, which was emitting a trace of gradually dissipating flames, she nodded and said, "We are lucky. You two did a good job. Tianyu is also very good and did not hold the team back."
From behind, Ishigami slowly walked over.
He encountered a four-man team from Iwagakure, and before he could make a move, they were killed instantly by Gekko Honglian, Yamanaka Inoue and the other two.
But this sentence doesn't hold back...it just sounds a bit painful!
"Okay, let's keep going. We shouldn't be far from the camp."
Gekko Honglian put away the ninja sword, then turned and walked away.
Ishigami, Yamanaka Haizhi and others looked at each other and followed.
Because the one-month task had been completed perfectly, the atmosphere seemed to have become much more relaxed.
But just after Ishigami and the others walked for a while, the rain in the sky seemed to suddenly become heavier.
When it falls on people, it feels a little strange.
Those present were all elite members of the Anbu, and they reacted almost immediately.
"Oh no! There's an ambush here!"
Yueguang Honglian thought to herself that something was wrong, but it was too late to think about why an ambush would occur so close to the Konoha camp.
He pushed hard with his feet, wanting to retreat, and at the same time drew out his ninja sword.
However, when he exerted force with his foot, he stepped on nothing!
In other words, a whirlpool of water suddenly appeared under his feet and swept him directly into it.
"Water Vortex Killing Formation!"
"Oh no!"
Yueguang Honglian felt a chill in his heart. At this critical moment of life and death, he swung the ninja sword in his hand without hesitation.
Buzz!!
The flames were raging, but were suddenly extinguished by the water.
"impossible!"
A hint of horror suddenly appeared in Moonlight Red Lotus's eyes.
At the critical moment of life and death, he naturally attacked with all his strength. He was confident that he could fight against some powerful A-level ninjutsu. Even though water overcomes fire, this kind of near-crushing situation should not have occurred!
There is only one possibility, this is not some water-style ninjutsu, or rather... this is a barrier-sealing ninjutsu that involves multiple people working together!
…
The rain was falling softly.
The scene in the eyes of Ishigami and others was that a vortex-like stream of water appeared on the flat ground, directly sweeping up the Moonlight Red Lotus and suddenly wrapping it up.
Puff puff!!
The next moment, the water turned into bright red!
"team leader!"
Yamanaka Inoue and Asama Sana both showed expressions of horror in an instant.
Crash!
The next moment, the water disappeared, and countless blood holes appeared on Moonlight Red Lotus' body. After struggling slightly, she fell powerlessly into a pool of blood.
The rain was still falling, but the puddles on the ground had turned a bright red.
