A Wishing Konoha Ninja

Chapter 62Meet

The border of the Land of Rain.

A figure running quickly kept crossing the towering trees. It was the figure who had been traveling day and night in the Kingdom of Earth these past few days.

The dry and cracked lips, swollen eyelids, and dull and yellow skin on his face all made Ikuo look quite haggard at this time.

Pursing his lips that were slightly moistened by the rain, Ikuo knew that it was not the time to rest yet.

The tampered documents may be found in Iwagakure Village at any time, and even now there may be Iwagakure's troops chasing after them.

Therefore, Ikuo could only keep hypnotizing himself in his mind: Run fast without stopping. If you run further, you will reach Amizen Town. The village should have arranged a support team to pick me up there.

Ikuo just relied on his willpower to ignore his body's signal that he needed to rest, and continued on his way.

The further we go, the less rain falls from the sky.

By the time they reached Amae Town, the rain had completely stopped, and Ikuo was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, not long after entering the town, Ikuo saw the mark Mamoru left on the corner of the wall.

Ikuo immediately followed the instructions on the mark and went to join Team [-].

on the other hand

The pursuit force led by Shi Pan, the leader of the demolition force, also tracked in the direction of the Fire Country.

Although Ikuo was careful not to leave any clues during the journey, the traces were still discovered by the Iwa ninja who was specifically responsible for tracking in the pursuit force.

The pursuit force headed by Shi Pan was currently surrounding a map spread out on the ground.

"Captain Ishiban, that traitor is heading towards the Kingdom of Rain. He probably wants to cross the Kingdom of Rain and enter the Kingdom of Fire." Iwa Ninja, who was responsible for tracking, reported to his captain.

"Can you estimate the distance between us and that traitor?" Shi Pan directly asked the core question.

Iwa Ninja, who was in charge of tracking, calculated silently in his mind for a while before he said, "According to my calculations, we are about half a day behind."

"Very good, everyone, increase your speed and be sure to intercept each other in the Kingdom of Rain."

A group of rock ninjas around Shipan responded loudly: "Got it."

At this time, one of the Iwa Ninja raised his own question: "Why did the other party go to the Country of Rain instead of the nearest Country of Grass? Is he misleading us?"

Iwa Ninja, who was responsible for tracking, immediately replied: "I believe in my judgment. Judging from the traces left by the traitor, it is definitely not misleading."

As the captain, Shi Pan pointed to the map on the ground and said in a deep voice: "If he had escaped towards the Country of Grass, we would have caught up with him long ago. This is exactly how smart he is. Only by taking a detour to the Country of Rain will he be able to compete with us. We have been staggered for such a long time, and Konoha will probably send people to support him."

Having said this, Ishipan looked around at his subordinates and said coldly: "No matter whether there are Konoha ninjas in the Land of Rain to assist him or not, we must complete the mission and kill all enemies without mercy."

"Now, let's go"

When Kazami Shinobu was about to return to the hotel as a temporary base, he happened to run into Ikuo who followed the mark.

After the two met head-on, they began to look at each other quietly, and then quickly typed various secret signals in unison.

Well, it’s confirmed, it’s one of our own.

Ikuo found out that the ninja who came to pick him up was just a child, and he was a little disappointed. Even if he didn't send a large army, there was no need to arrange for a bean to come.

So he frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "You are the ninja sent by the village to help me."

Hearing the distrust in the other party's words, Kazami Shinobu comforted him: "Don't worry, we have three genin here."

╯°Д°╯︵┻━┻

Ikuo is desperate for this world: Is there any difference between one genin and three genin?

However, when Ikuo saw Kato Dan, all the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared completely. Even Ikuo in Iwagakure Village had heard of Kato Dan's name.

"Hello, Ikuo Chuunin, I am Kato Dan, the captain of Team [-]."

"I'm relieved to see that it's Danjounin you who are responsible for this task."

"Don't worry, our ninth team will escort you back to Konoha safely."

"No, the jounin should be cut off"

Before he could finish his words, Ikuo breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt multiple ghost images of Kato Dan appear in his eyes. At the same time, his legs felt weak, and he sat down on the ground and fainted.

Kato Dan reacted immediately and supported Ikuo who was about to fall to the ground.

The three of them, Kazami Shinobi, who were originally guarding outside, heard a sudden noise coming from inside, so they immediately rushed into the room.

After the three people came in, they saw Kato Suan supporting Ikuo who fainted on the ground.

Ahu was so shocked by this shocking scene that he couldn't speak clearly: "Teacher Duan Duan, you are trying to kill people to silence them."

"It's Chuunin Ikuo who fainted. Come here and help." Kato Danke didn't have time to explain slowly, so he quickly asked the three of them to lift Ikuo and put him on the bed next to him.

After half an hour.

"How about Kazami, is Ikuo Chuunin injured or poisoned anywhere on his body?"

Kato Dan said that fortunately he had the foresight to let Kazami Ninja learn medical ninjutsu.

After carefully examining Ikuo's whole body, Kazami Shinobu shook his head: "Ikuo Chuunin just collapsed from exhaustion, there is no other problem."

"That's good." Kato nodded.

"Mr. Suan, should we wake up Ikuo immediately?" Looking at Ikuo who was still sleeping, Kazami Shinobu asked his teacher.

Kato Dan lowered his head and thought for a while before making a decision: "No, let's set off directly with Ikuo Chunin on our backs."

"clear"

The shaky dividing line

Ikuo, who was in relatively good physical condition, woke up from his dream in a daze. When he opened his eyelids and saw that it was an unfamiliar jungle, he sat up suddenly.

Then after catching a glimpse of Kazami Shinobi and Ago sitting in front of the fire, he remembered that he had connected with Konoha's companions.

"What the hell, how could I fall asleep?"

Feeling that something was wrong, Ikuo hurriedly asked Kazumi Shinobu: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Probably more than three hours."

"It's broken, Kato Danjounin is here."

"It's outside."

When Ikuo woke up, he found that Team [-] was hiding in a huge gap in the rock wall to rest and eat.

Kato Dan, who had been paying attention to the situation inside, came in from the outside and asked: "Ikuo Chuunin, can your body still continue to travel?"

Ikuo immediately replied: "I have no problem. We must rush back to Konoha immediately. I'm afraid there are Iwa ninjas tracking me behind. Their speed must be beyond your imagination, Broken Jonin."

"Whether there are Iwa ninjas following us or not, we must ensure that we are in the best condition, otherwise when they really catch up, we will be exhausted, which will be worse." Kato Dan said with a calm face.

"Zanjounin, what you said makes sense." Ikuo nodded in agreement.

After convincing the other party, Kato Dan ordered to Team [-]: "In half an hour, everyone will bring only the necessary equipment, and we will rush back to Konoha at full speed."

"Understood" Kazami Shinobu and the others responded in unison.
