The Shadow of Konoha

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Return to the Forest and into the Cage



Afterwards, Team Hanyu set out from Konoha and first reported to the front-line command center. After sufficient supplies, they prepared to head north and break into the territory of the Rain Country from the border between the Rain Country and the River Country.

"Hanyu, wait... take these things with you."

At the Konoha camp, before Hanyu left, Koga found him and stuffed a backpack into his arms.

"This is..."

"Medicines, mainly hemostatics and antidotes, are special medicines I made personally. I hope they can help you when the time comes..." Koga suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I should say I hope you don't need these things. It's just to be prepared. This is all I can do to help you."

He naturally knew the danger of the mission that Hanyu was responsible for at this time. However, as a pure medical ninja, Koga could only help Hanyu in a very limited way... He could only help him prepare more medicines.

Hanyu opened the backpack and found various medicines arranged in different categories. Each medicine had detailed instructions for use on the outside of its packaging. Although Koga simply said that these were emergency medicines for stopping bleeding and detoxification, anyone who took a look at them would know that these things were definitely not easy to come by.

At this time, countless Konoha ninja teams were responsible for the same mission, but not every team could receive special treatment like Hanyu.

"Thank you, Dr. Koga, you've been a great help." After Hanyu resealed the backpack and put it on his back, he solemnly expressed his gratitude to Koga.

In the process of going deeper into the Rain Country, Team Hanyu will inevitably come into conflict with the Hidden Rain Ninjas. Considering the duration of the mission, medicines will definitely become a scarce resource on this trip.

On the Konoha front, the rationing of medical supplies is more stringent than that of consumables such as ninja tools. It is impossible for ninjas on missions to bring as much medicine as they want... Therefore, Koga's care is a rare kindness.

This person is pretty good, no wonder you are a winner in life... Hanyu couldn't help but think silently.

Koga has a pair of deep brown eyes and half-long blonde hair. If such characteristics were on a woman, she would probably be considered a loser, but on the contrary, she would be a winner in life.

As for the other party's expression of concern, Hanyu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He personally felt that there was nothing auspicious or unlucky about it. After taking the medicine and expressing his gratitude to the other party, Hanyu did not hesitate to lead his team to leave the Konoha camp and rush to the unknown battlefield of the Rain Country.

After setting off for a while, Hanyu glanced at the backpack on his back, and then he suddenly realized...

"Fuck, is this what the saying 'before a war, there must be supplies' means?"

About half a day later, Renjuro, the scout ninja at the front of the team, suddenly stopped moving at high speed, and soon everyone gathered at the place where he stopped.

"Captain, the Rain Country is just ahead." He said, indicating that everyone had reached the end of the River Country.

Hanyu took out a map from the ninja tool bag on his back and then unfolded it. Several people helped him hold the four corners , and then he stretched out his finger and slid along a road on the map that extended into the distance.

" The map was drawn by ninjas who entered the Rain Country earlier, so its accuracy can be generally guaranteed. However, considering that many important targets may change within a day or even from moment to moment, it cannot be fully trusted." Hanyu said this, expressing his doubts about the accuracy of the map.

After all, what he had in his hand was just a copied paper map. Even though it was a military map, it was not the kind of satellite map that could be revised at any time, so its credibility was limited.

"Hospitals and military factories are the most valuable targets for attack, but the success rate is relatively low. After all, the enemy will focus on protecting such places. It is hard to imagine that a small team can successfully destroy such important targets. So my idea is to harass and destroy Yuyin's logistics supply lines, and give priority to protecting my own safety while carrying out the infiltration mission.

Although we may not be able to achieve particularly significant results with this strategy, I think this should be a more suitable way of fighting for us... What do you think?" Hanyu said.

Compared to the extremely difficult offensive operations, he prefers the more flexible guerrilla warfare. Think about the defense level of Konoha's frontline hospital. If you put yourself in their shoes, the defense level of the equally important targets in Yuyin is definitely not much worse, even if it is not as good as Konoha... In any case, it is not a target that can be destroyed by a team of four.

Therefore, Hanyu's arrangements for the next battle seem quite realistic.

After hearing what Yuzuru said, the other three looked at each other and then nodded in unison.

"I don't think there's any problem." Nara Nagisa agreed.

Several people agreed with this combat arrangement. Considering Hanyu's approach , they were worried that he would be greedy and do something like rushing directly into Yugakure, but they didn't expect him to be so conservative.

In enemy territory, it is good practice to be conservative and cautious in every sense of the word.

But they still couldn't be careless. The three of them understood each other's eyes in an instant... Every time Hanyu made a battle plan, it was the most reasonable one, but his actions were often completely opposite. So, beautiful words didn't have much practical meaning. We had to keep an eye on him next.

"One more thing. When we follow this route diagonally northwest to enter the Rain Country, in addition to the ninjas of Rain Village, we will most likely encounter enemies from Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Don't hesitate at that time, and strike directly when the time comes." Hanyu added.

He had indeed considered everything carefully. It would be even better if this person could also have the absolute execution ability to coordinate with his own ideas and battle plans.

Unfortunately, no one is perfect.

"Kumogakure... as well?" Renjuro was stunned for a moment, then asked.

He could understand why they attacked the Iwagakure ninjas. After all, Konoha and Iwagakure were enemies rather than friends. However, what about Kumogakure? You have to know that Kumogakure and Konoha are now allies.

"As long as they are not Konoha's ninja, everyone we meet on the battlefield is an enemy... I don't need to explain how to treat the enemy." Hanyu emphasized again.

On the battlefield, who has the time to figure out where the enemies come from one by one? With the alliance relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha having almost zero trust, if they meet on the battlefield, both sides will only hate themselves for not acting fast enough.

Hanyu was not afraid that this attack would lead to the breakdown of the alliance between the two sides, because although the two sides had little trust, the strange thing was that the current alliance between them was very stable. Even if "accidental injuries" occurred on the battlefield, everyone would be tolerant... At least in this Ninja World War, the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure was so awkward.

"I understand." Several people nodded, understanding Hanyu's intention.

Hanyu took the map back, then he stood up and said everything he needed to say, except for the last sentence:

"Now that the battle plan has been finalized, what's next...

The Rain Country infiltration operation begins now."

As he finished speaking, the group of four ran towards the dense forest that blocked out the sun and the sky in the Rain Kingdom without hesitation.
