Qi ignored them and quickly left the village without even saying hello.
This is not because Uchiha Kai has any dissatisfaction with Minato, Kakashi and others. On the contrary, Uchiha Kai still likes them very much. However, he is not happy because of this mission.
Kenta Imai and Hinata Aya were similar. After taking another look at the four people, they quickly followed Uchiha and ran out.
In order to attract the attention of the Iwagakure ninja, they naturally had to separate from Minato's team, otherwise Uchiha Kai's team would be affecting the mission.
He quickly ran out of Konoha Village and headed towards the mission. The sunlight shone through the dense branches of the towering trees, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Between the big tree and its shadow, three small figures were running past on the branches of the big tree, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
In this dim light, this tiny afterimage is almost invisible, and even the most sensitive birds in the dense forest did not notice it.
Before setting off, Uchiha Kai had already thought of a strategy, which was to quickly reach the mission location and hide.
There are members of the Hyuga clan in their team, which gives Uchiha Kai a lot of convenience. At least they can first scout the enemy situation and make considerations for the next step.
But Uchiha Kai also knew how troublesome this mission was. He couldn't refuse, but he didn't want to die either, so he had to think of other ways.
It took about three days, and the three of them finally crossed the border and entered the Kusagakure Village. However, under the leadership of Uchiha Kai, they did not join the main force.
This decision made Kenta Imai and Aya Hinata very confused, but as wartime ninjas they could only obey the orders of Captain Kai.
"Let's take a rest." After entering a forest in the Kusagakure Village, Uchiha Kai stopped and sat down first to recover his strength.
Now they must always be in the best condition to prepare for battles that may come at any time.
"White eyes, open!"
There was no need for Qi's size at all. Hinata Aya opened her Byakugan and observed the situation around her. She also knew their current situation, and for the sake of her own life, she did not dare to be careless.
"There's no danger." After checking for a moment, Hinata Aya closed her eyes and said in a low voice.
"Yes." Uchiha Kai nodded, and then continued: "Now we have arrived at the Land of Grass and are about to enter the mission target area. Now is the time to discuss the next countermeasures. Do you want to survive?"
Kenta Imai and Hinata Aya were also stunned when they heard what Uchiha Kai said. They didn't expect Uchiha Kai to ask this question so carelessly.
They both looked at Uchiha Kai and wisely chose to remain silent.
The ninjas who can go to the battlefield right after graduating from the Ninja Academy and survive to this day are not fools.
With their intelligence, they both understood what the purpose of the mission given to them by the village was - to make them cannon fodder to restrain the guarding Rock Ninja.
In fact, there are many ways to save your life. The best way is to wander along the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass, fighting small battles until the end of the war. I believe they both understand this truth.
But they can only think like this, or even do this, but they cannot say it out loud!
That's politics.
Uchiha Kai's straightforward question blocked the way for both of them. After all, once they expressed such thoughts aloud, their future would be over.
Uchiha Kai didn't say anything, just looked at them with a smile. How could he not guess what these two people were thinking?
He didn't know how many methods he had thought of along the way, but they were all rejected by him.
These two people could stay on the border without doing anything until the end of the war, but Uchiha Kai, as the captain, cannot do that.
If he continues like this, Uchiha Kai will be in disgrace when he returns to the village, and may even be charged with the crime of "delaying the opportunity to fight."
Even though Uchiha Kai knew very well that even if he didn't do this, the Rock Ninja would definitely not be able to hold on for long, others might not think so.
The Konoha high-level officials always need a glorious image, but in fact their orders have ruined a large number of ninjas.
For this reason, the top leaders will naturally try every possible means to divert people's attention and shift conflicts.
A common practice is to find some scapegoats to take the responsibility, or to find some unlucky guys to bear the stigma of being a coward or killing comrades.
Or they use someone's achievements to attract people's attention, and the dead person naturally becomes a person who "made contributions to the village."
If Uchiha Kei really said and did that, the final result would naturally be to completely help the Konoha high-level officials, because they were unhappy with the Uchiha clan anyway.
Uchiha Kai would never do such a thing, and naturally he would not let his teammates think so, let alone let them do so.
Regardless of whether they really think so or not, Uchiha Kai has to put an end to some things. No one wants to die, but Uchiha Kai doesn't want to be the scapegoat even more.
"What's wrong, you two? You don't need to think about this simple question for so long, right?"
Uchiha Kai leaned his back against a big tree and sneered, while his hand behind his back had already reached into the ninja tool bag, ready to take action.
To be honest, Uchiha Kai still hopes that they will express their thoughts. With his current strength, he can kill one of them at some cost and then escape.
Although Uchiha Kai didn't think they would dare to say it out loud, let alone take action, the cautious Uchiha Kai had to prepare for the worst.
After a long moment, Imai Kenta and Hinata Aya exchanged a glance, and Hinata Aya gritted her teeth and said, "Captain, I think you should also know what this mission means, right?"
"Of course I know." Uchiha Kai looked at the two of them with a smile: "So, I plan to ask what you think."
"We have to complete our mission." Imai Kenta smiled harmlessly, "But I think we should be more careful and make use of our Byakugan advantage."
"Oh? That's a good idea." Uchiha Kai let down his guard and said nonchalantly.
As expected, they didn't dare to take action, because taking direct action would be tantamount to betraying Konoha, which was much more terrifying than their actual thoughts.
And they also know that Uchiha Kai must have his own abilities to be able to survive until now.
All three of them are the same. Their teammates have changed one after another, but all three of them are still alive. This naturally explains a lot of reasons.
But this time, the three of them sighed in their hearts: What a trouble, we met the same character.
Three silver coins together really are a competition to see who is more ruthless and who has a stronger desire to survive.
"In that case, we will find the right position ourselves and do what we need to do."
Uchiha Kai chuckled and said, "Kenta-kun is right. If you have the Byakugan, you should make good use of it. Let's get to the planned location first and then leave it to Aya-kun."
"No problem, but what next?"
"Let's find a place with fewer people and launch a surprise attack. There are other teams anyway, right?"
