Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 46 Late Night
The hazy moonlight shone through the thick clouds, slightly illuminating the dark green broad leaves in front of Zhou Lai's eyes. Under the cover of thick black night, Zhou Lai waited for nearly 20 people, and drove silently towards the coastal border of the Iron Kingdom. go.

The Kingdom of Iron is a small and narrow country on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Fire, and it has always been a subsidiary force of the daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire.

According to the information from the Anbu before and what Zhou Lai and others have learned in the country of iron these days, the most prosperous place in the country of iron is not the capital - Damingfu, but the towns along the coastal border.

Many industries of the Uesugi family, the Minamoto family, and the Nagao family are concentrated in this area, as well as the town of Yunokuni on the opposite side.

The Iron Country also has their ninja villages, but they can't control these border and coastal areas. Not only is the power here complicated, but it is also the gathering point in the east where rebellious and wandering ninjas gather and play.

Zhou Lai sticks to the path in the field, his movements are extraordinarily gentle, and he walks through the waist-length plants and the breeze. Although his movements in the air are as gentle as touching the skin of a lover, when he lands, he feels strength from his toes. Concealedly agitated his body, causing his movements to rise and fall rhythmically.Easily follow behind the team.

This mission is the most critical part of Konoha's support of the Uesugi family, and it is also the beginning of the whole incident.

Successfully killing the target and completing the task beautifully, Konoha can quickly gain a firm foothold, take the initiative, and smoothly control the Uesugi family, use the Uesugi family's dominance in this area to fight against the Nagao family, and grasp the rhythm of the future development of the situation.

However, if the mission fails, it will completely startle the enemy. Not only may the Uesugi family fail to take the lead in controlling it, but Anbu will also suffer heavy losses. This will give Yunin an opportunity to take advantage of the regional advantages to severely damage Zhou Lai's team in one fell swoop. After Konoha Troop operations would be at a stalemate, and the mission could be declared a complete failure.

Zhou Lai raised his head and glanced at the pitch black, vast starry sky where not even half a star could be found except for the hazy moon, and twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.

"Hey, it's another difficult time for missions. As expected, Feng Shui is turning around. The captain is in the village. It's really not safe if he doesn't arrange missions for himself.

Think about how busy Qing Cheng was back then, and look at his worried expression now, alas. I, the vice-captain who specializes in assassinations, really can’t describe it in words.
Forget it, after all, the captain also made me comfortable for half a month. "

"If I were alone, this assassination mission might be more comfortable."

I just don’t know how those little captains will look at me when I tell the captain that.
Withdrawing these incoherent thoughts, Zhou Lai sighed, and looked up at the vast night in front of him again.It seems that a glimmer of scorching light can be faintly seen from a distance.

It is estimated that the destination is not far away, after all, they have been driving for five days without stopping.

He stepped on a thick branch in the field with his right foot, bent his knee, and headed towards the team in front. The strong force shook a green mulberry leaf to the ground.

It was another hour of flying over the roof and walls.

Suddenly there was a low voice from the Eagles in front of them,

"Attention everyone, get close to the target, the whole team hides!"

The team's high-speed forward trend suddenly stopped, and they headed for the surrounding bunkers.

Zhou Lai looked intently, and at this time the place where they are now has completely left the endless villages, forests and fields just now.

In front is a majestic city wall. Along the city gate, there are sections of neat and clean stone streets. There are shops one after another on both sides of the street.
However, because it was already late at night, there were only scattered twilight lights flickering at the door of the shop.

There are also one or two drunk tramps lying in the doorway of the tavern with no image, holding a wine bottle and talking nonsense that they have not understood for weeks.

Eagles gestured, gathered the team together, and spread out a map in the middle of a relatively flat bush.

"According to the information detected internally, this area in the east is the building complex of the Uesugi family"

The eagle index finger made a big circle at the bottom of the map, covering almost the entire eastern region.

"Our goal this time, Shangshanba, is here!" Ying pointed at the center of the east.He glanced at the crowd and said,

"This area in the west is the gathering point of the Longtail family," Ying pointed to a small area in the west.

Zhou Lai knew that the headquarters of the Changwei family was not in this town, but the main base of the Changwei family was in another town less than ten kilometers away.But this place has also become one of the long tail family industry clusters.

As for why the Nagao family can have so many industries in the base area of ​​the Uesugi family, you have to ask Uesugiba.

It is estimated that if the ancestors of the Uesugi family know about it, Uesugiba alone may not be able to hold their coffin boards.

"Let's go in from here," Eagle pointed to the east of the Uesugi area in the east, "Separate two teams, the first to explore the assassination and retreat passages, and the others to find the location of Uesugi Dam, and then gather here to start operations.

Remember, don't reveal your whereabouts, if you are exposed, immediately carry out raids and kills!Mission first!Do you understand? "Hawk looked around the crowd coldly.

"Yes!"

"Captain, I am suitable for solo action!" Zhou Lai said suddenly when Eagle was preparing for the team.

Ying looked up at Zhou Lai and nodded, "Squad [-], Squad [-], you scout the route, remember to be fast!

Class [-], Class [-], you go to investigate the location of Shangshanba, and I will lead Class [-], so you can go it alone!any questions! "

"no!"

"Okay, pay attention to concealment and start acting!"

With a wave of Ying's hand, the surrounding teams immediately dispersed.

"be careful!"

Ying glanced at Zhou Lai's back and said softly.

"rest assured"

Zhou Lai turned his head and waved his hands, then disappeared in place.

"Everyone take a rest!"

Qingcheng looked at the tired-looking Uesugi Ryuno on Lingya's back, raising his hand to stop the procession.

Liu Nai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound, and patted Ling Ya on the shoulder to signal to put her down.

Xiyan raised her head and glanced at the sky. It was already late at night. In order to avoid revealing their identities, they deliberately staggered the time of their journey.
The ninja was alright, but Lucy, an ordinary person, couldn't hold on anymore.Although Lingya carried her forward along the way, the bumpy journey was not something she, a weak woman, could bear.

"They must have arrived by now,"

Xiyan looked up at the hazy moonlight covered by dark clouds, and murmured to herself while holding the ninja knife in her hand.Originally, she wanted to participate in Zhou Lai's assassination, but Zhou Lai refused without discussion.

She knew why, but still ignored him for days.

"You have to be good, or don't think I'll talk to you anymore!" Xiyan hugged the ninja knife in her arms a little more, he was not there, and only it could calm the loneliness at night.
