"Set off."
As Kitazawa walked out, he said, "You can think of ways to make this task simpler and faster."
After leaving the Konoha Village headquarters, they arrived at the seaside.
"Our destination this time is an island in the Water Kingdom."
Kitazawa took out a map and said, "According to the mission scroll, the supply convoy will stop and rest on that island."
How many Hidden Mist Village ninjas are on the island?
"Issuer Kabuto asked thoughtfully."
"Because this island is located far behind Kirigakure, only one ninja squad is stationed there."
Kitazawa replied, "One special Jonin and three Chunin."
"Teacher Kitazawa, I have an idea."
Kabuto had an idea and said, "We can disguise ourselves as them and launch a surprise attack."
"This is a good idea."
Kurenai nodded upon hearing this.
"Alright, we'll do it your way."
Kitazawa put away the map and said, "Follow me. Togane will be in charge of guarding the surroundings."
He casually put on a pair of sunglasses, and in one swift step, he was on the sea.
Kitazawa led the way.
Although traveling by boat saves chakra, it is too slow and makes one a larger target, making one easier to be discovered.
Running straight there would indeed consume more chakra.
However, Kitazawa specifically chose a route that included many islands of varying sizes along the way.
If you get tired, you can rest on the island.
Kitazawa and the others successfully delivered the mission scroll to the island mentioned on it.
Besides the phosphorus-damaging insects from Aburame-Tori, Kitazawa would also occasionally find an opportunity to open his Byakugan.
This is why they didn't encounter any Hidden Mist Village ninjas.
If it were any other ninja squad, they would probably have encountered several battles.
"There are indeed four Hidden Mist Village ninjas on the island."
After the oil woman used phosphorus-destroying insects to investigate the roots, she said.
"They're left to you to handle."
Kitazawa waved his hand and said, "I'll keep an eye on the supply convoy's ships, in case they suddenly appear and disrupt our operation."
Kabuto looked at Kurenai Yuhi.
"You're a Jonin, you're in command."
Kurenai Yuhi said with great self-awareness.
She wouldn't boss around Kabuto and the other two just because of her relationship with Kitazawa.
After spending so much time together, she realized it too.
Of Kitazawa's three students, Aburame Torune and Uchiha Izumi aside, at least Yakushi Kabuto was much stronger than her.
Especially in medical ninjutsu and strategy.
"Take the root, launch a surprise attack first."
Kabuto immediately instructed, "Red-senpai and Izumi, prepare the illusion."
The four of them immediately went ashore and headed towards the outpost of Kirigakure.
A sentry post is essentially a small outpost.
This is probably because there are no traps near the Kirigakure outpost in the rear.
Inside the outpost, four Hidden Mist Village ninjas idly patrolled the surroundings.
But they all looked distracted.
Unbeknownst to them, four invisible phosphorescent insects approached their feet.
The next second, the phosphorus worm accelerated and bit down.
The middle-aged ninja, a special Jonin, sensed danger and instinctively used the Body Flicker Technique.
But his three students did not escape; they screamed and their bodies turned purple as they died on the spot.
"what's the situation?"
The middle-aged ninja was both surprised and furious, and quickly jumped to the top of the outpost.
He could tell at a glance that the three students had died from poisoning.
Just then, a large number of flower petals appeared out of thin air.
The middle-aged ninja was alert and quickly spotted Kurenai Yuhi.
His eyes widened in surprise.
Why would ninjas from Konoha appear here?
In a moment of distraction, the middle-aged ninja saw Kurenai Yuhi vanish from the spot.
Instead, he had a pair of Sharingan eyes.
Uchiha Izumi appeared at the location of Yuhi Kurenai.
"Sharingan?"
The middle-aged ninja realized what was happening and quickly formed hand seals.
Illusion - Dispel!
Just then, Kurenai Yuhi descended from the sky and hurled a Rasengan at him.
He couldn't react in time and was sent flying backwards.
Chapter 244 Ringo Ameyuri's Death, One-Fifth of Chakra
While Kurenai and the others were fighting, Kitazawa activated his Byakugan.
He looked around but did not see any ships belonging to the Kirigakure supply convoy.
It looks like they won't arrive for a while.
"You did a good job."
Kitazawa turned off his eyes and walked into the outpost.
Three of the four members of the Hidden Mist Village ninja squad have died, leaving only one special jonin alive.
However, he was hit by the Rasengan and was now on the verge of death.
The art of deception!
Kitazawa extended his hand.
The chakra enveloped the middle-aged ninja.
A flood of information rushed into Kitazawa's mind.
His body also changed accordingly, and he gradually became a middle-aged ninja.
"you you……"
The middle-aged ninja realized what was happening and immediately began to struggle.
Kitazawa, too lazy to waste words with him, took out a kunai and ended his life.
He put away his kunai, then squatted down and pressed his hands to the ground.
Earth Release chakra surged forth, causing the ground to collapse and forming a deep crater.
“You used a transformation technique to disguise yourselves as the other three people.”
Kitazawa threw the bodies of the four Hidden Mist Village ninjas into the deep pit.
“Take the root, you don’t need to pretend.”
Kabuto thought for a moment and said, "You can hide in the shadows and support us with Phosphorous Beasts."
Aburame Torune's strength surpasses that of Phosphorous Hollow Insect.
Even without the presence of phosphorus worms, they can still play a significant role as long as the phosphorus worms are present.
"Ah."
Aburame Tori nodded.
Kabuto Yakushi, Izumi Uchiha, and Kurenai Yuhi immediately used the Transformation Jutsu.
"Next, we just wait for the supply transport ship to dock."
Kitazawa waved and said with a smile, "Sit down and wait, have a cup of tea to refresh yourself."
"You're the first person I've met who's so relaxed during a mission."
Kurenai sat opposite him, shook her head, and said.
"Teacher Kitazawa is very capable. Even when he is deep behind enemy lines, he can still talk and laugh."
"I am Kabuto," Yakushi said with a smile.
"Look at it."
Kurenai Yuhi, resting her chin on her hands, jokingly asked, "Do you usually teach your students to flatter you?"
"I didn't teach that."
Kitazawa blinked and said.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Just then, Aburame Torune spoke up, saying, "Two ships are coming from the east."
"What is the exact number?"
As Kitazawa asked, he took out a stack of explosive tags.
He placed the detonating tags in several inconspicuous corners of the outpost.
"Three Jonin, nine Chunin, and four Genin."
Aburame Tori replied.
"So many Jonin?"
Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Kabuto, you and I will deal with these three Jonin."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then assigned the tasks: "Kurenai, Tori and Izumi, you two deal with the other Kirigakure ninja."
"Yes."
Everyone answered in unison.
Although Kurenai was somewhat worried, at this point, there was no need to say anything; carrying out the mission was the top priority.
"Take the root, and find a place to hide it."
After setting up the explosive tag trap, Kitazawa said, "Let's go meet them."
[You have encountered Ringo Ameyuri, who came for you.]
[Current Mission: Protect Thunder Blade Fang.]
[Mission Reward: One-fifth of your Chakra Limit.]
