Duanmu Baiyun of Konoha

Chapter 18
With the arrival of Konoha's support, the strength of Konoha's troops has been strengthened.

Konoha has finally entered the counter-offensive stage, and the troops have pushed the battlefield from the border of the Fire Country to the territory of the River Country.

The country of Sichuan is sandwiched between the country of fire and the country of wind, helplessly watching the two big countries fighting on their own land.

There are always people who naively think that as long as they listen to the words of the big country, the small country can be safe and sound.

The premise of maintaining neutrality is to have the strength of neutrality, otherwise, it will be arbitrarily squeezed by the big powers.

The land of the Land of Fire is dominated by forests.The landform of the Kawa no country is a grand canyon that is long from north to south and short from east to west, spanning the entire country, just like the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.Due to inconvenient transportation, Kawa no Country is also very poor.

The Grand Canyon cuts off the forested stretches of the Fire Nation.The closer you get to the Land of Winds, the deeper the canyon will be.The ravines and canyons have taken away the groundwater from the Land of Winds. Coupled with the violent monsoons, the Land of Winds has become barren and arid, with wind and sand all over the sky.

There are also small canyons with gullies and ravines in the Grand Canyon. The land is divided into terraces by the small valleys, and some rocks are scattered on the terraces.

As the front line advances, the troops of Konoha Village are building a new headquarters camp in the country of Chuan.

After Tejiu and Hong recovered completely, the Duanmu team received a C-level mission.The content of the task is to be responsible for the sentry alarm on the periphery of the camp during the construction of the camp.

Tejiu set up traps in their defensive direction, Duanmu stood on the boulder and observed the distance with a telescope, and Hong was still looking at her scroll.

The landforms of Kawa no Kuni are like naturally formed trenches, which are really suitable for hiding and sneaking.The battle on the front line must be more difficult because of the terrain.

Although the telescope can't see it, Duanmu knows that in the distance of sight, Konoha's middle and high-level ninjas are engaged in a brutal war of attrition, such as their teacher Akido Yoshimaru and Kakashi's teacher Namikaze Minato.

Every day, many wounded were sent back to the medical department of the camp, and many teams returned to the camp to recuperate.

Most of the repaired teams have experienced downsizing, requiring the headquarters to reorganize and deploy personnel.

Shoujiu looked enviously at Duanmu, who was jumping higher and higher recently. Looking down at his figure, he couldn't even see the tops of his feet. Should he lose weight?
All the ninja teams were not transferred to directly participate in the battle, and were still responsible for the peripheral work of the battlefield.

Duanmu looked around carefully, looking for suspicious situations.

On the battlefield on the west side, if Sand Ninja is found, it proves that the frontal battlefield has failed, and there is no need for the sentry of the three of them to exist, and the possibility is unlikely.Duanmu looked at the terrain in the south and north in turn to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp that Konoha was still building from the flanks.

This kind of life has lasted for three days, and I am very tense every day, and I dare not relax for a moment, until the arrival of the defensive team.

Duanmu looked at the river in the north, tracking every moving thing in his field of vision.

His team had just messed up a mission, and it was already registered at the headquarters. It is estimated that Masao Nara would not mind making it difficult for the team again.

Watching along the river, what is different today is that there are freshly dead animals by the river.

It is normal to see dead animals in nature, but will dying animals still have the energy to find water?In particular, the rivers in the country of Kawasaki are all in large and small canyons. It should be very difficult to drag a dying body to the river.

Duanmu recalled that a few dead fish occasionally floated in the river these days.

"Shoujiu, Hong, let's go to the river to have a look."

The three quickly walked to the river, went down to the river in the canyon, and looked at a few animals that had just died. The key point was that these were all underage animals.

"Do you need to report to the headquarters immediately? These animals don't look like they died naturally." Hong tried to store some river water in a small bamboo tube.

"Let's go upstream to find the root cause. I can't be sure whether it is a human factor." Duanmu said, just in case, let's confirm the situation again.

The three of Duanmu marched up the river, not daring to go too far away from their jurisdiction.

The closer you go upstream, the more dead fish you see, the more animal carcasses.

"Okay, we can't go any further, let's go back."

The three of Duanmu didn't dare to leave the assigned jurisdiction too far, lest Masao Nara would find an excuse to clean them up, and the three of them returned with river water samples.

Hong returned to the headquarters with the samples to report the situation, while Duanmu and Tejiu continued to be vigilant.

When the defense team arrived, Tejiu and the opposing team reported the abnormal river course, and the two returned to the headquarters.

As soon as they arrived at the camp, the two were notified to gather in the headquarters tent, where Hong was already waiting.

On the main seat in the tent, there was only Nara Masao, the deputy conductor.The advance on the front line was too intense, and the commander-in-chief Danzo could no longer sit firmly in the command camp.

In addition to Hong, there are four people and one dog standing in the hall.

Looking at the adult ninja with the iconic pineapple head of the Nara clan, Duanmu knew that he was going to be unlucky this time.

"Received a report from the security team that there is a problem with the water source in our camp. The test results have been completed and it is a chronic poison. This kind of poison needs to be continuously poisoned in order to be effective in the river."

In the tent, Masao Nara introduced the current situation to the two teams under the hall.

"Now you are assigned a B-level mission to find the water source and solve the problem. Now appoint Chuunin Nara Zuoji as the captain and Xiaren Duanmu Baiyun as the temporary deputy captain to lead your team to complete this mission."

There are three other members of Nara's second team, Natsuko Inuzuka, Yuka Hinata and Daigo Yume.

The Narasaku [-] team is a standard tracking and reconnaissance team. The Inuzuka clan is responsible for tracking by scent, the Hyuga clan can see enemies several kilometers away, and the Yume clan can control bugs for covert investigations. The Nara clan of information, this team is really distinctive.

As long as the team doesn't go to die, it will be very difficult to kill such a team, and the enemy will be discovered a few kilometers away, and the dog will be done.

What an enviable ninja ability.

The most hateful thing is that the captain of this team is still a chunin of the Nara clan, which is obviously aimed at Duanmu on purpose.

Duanmu finally understood Tejiu's father's cautiousness. If the front-line deputy commander had always been Nara Masao, Duanmu would die in his hands sooner or later.

Looking at the two pineapple hairstyles of Nara Masao and Nara Sakuji, Duanmu felt helpless, as a freshly graduated shinobi could do too little.

I don't know when Teacher Qiudao will come back next time, your team is almost collapsed.
