In a cave in the country of birds.
The four members of Class 11 sat around the campfire, chatting while eating.
It has been three full days since the last time I encountered an ambush in the Forest of the Bear Country. Except for Shisui, everyone in the team was injured, so Kakashi decided to take a break in the Bird Country for the time being.
As for the last battle in the forest, it was Shisui and Kai who arrived in time and cooperated with Hyuga Kyou to eliminate all the enemies.
After the battle, the four of them met together and found out that besides the four-member team of Yan Yin's beheading force, there were also twenty-four wandering ninjas from the Bear Kingdom who participated in the ambush.
Among them, Iwamoto, the captain of the Iwagakure Beheading Troop, took the initiative to find Hyuga Kyou, and the remaining three members of the Beheading Troop each led eight wandering ninjas from the Bear Kingdom, and were responsible for intercepting and killing the remaining three in Squad 11.
There is no doubt that Iwamoto is an elite Jōnin. The other three members of the beheading unit are also Jōnin-level, plus twenty-four wandering ninjas from the Bear Kingdom who are close to Chunin.
The gathering of these people is already quite a force.
What's more, the battle broke out in an ambush, so the eleventh squad was able to wipe out the enemy without losing any of its personnel, which is really an impressive record.
Among them, Zhishui was the most relaxed.
With the blessing of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, the ordinary illusions he casts are extremely powerful, even Jonin, if he is not careful, he will be tricked.
And the beheading troop member who was sent to deal with Shishui was directly hit by his illusion, and died without even having time to use his own ninjutsu.
And without the command to lead the Jōnin, the remaining eight wandering ninjas were dealt with like chopping melons and vegetables by Shisui. The process was so easy that the other three in Class 11 were very depressed.
Kakashi's performance was slightly worse than Shisui's.
Because the body has to bear a Sharingan that does not belong to him, Kakashi, who is extremely talented, is not much better than his peers in terms of chakra. In addition, the A-level ninjutsu Chidori consumes a lot, so it is inevitable for him to collapse after a fierce battle.
Kai is playing normally.
After all, he is not yet fully developed, and he cannot reach the level of a real Jōnin without using Bamen Dunjia, and he was besieged by a Jōnin plus eight wandering ninjas who are close to Chunin, and it is already very rare to save his life.
Hyuga mirror's performance, in his own opinion, is neither good nor bad.
Mainly in the final confrontation, he was completely deceived by Yan Modo, and suddenly put himself in danger, especially the last self-destruct of Yan Modo, which still scares him until now.
Kakashi shook his head, and said bluntly: "In the entire village, there are not many people with your record!"
Hyuga mirror asked curiously: "Why, is this Iwamoto famous?"
"Of course!" Kakashi nodded, and continued: "As far as I know, there are only seven beheading troops in Hidden Rock Village, and one of them was besieged by more than a hundred ninjas from our village in the Country of Grass. In the end, both sides almost died together!"
Kai looked surprised: "More than a hundred of us besieged the four of them, and they almost died together!?"
Kakashi looked serious: "Well, that battle was very tragic. Although the opponent was eliminated, it seems that only six or seven of us survived in the end."
Shisui said gloomily: "Several of our Uchiha's elite Jonin were all killed by Iwagakushi's beheading troops."
Kai was a little dazed: "Didn't we do a great thing? By the way, counting the one we killed, there are only five beheading troops left by Yan Yin."
Kakashi shook his head and said, "No, there are only three left, and the other two were wiped out by the fourth generation!"
Hyuga Kyou muttered with a speechless face: "No wonder Iwamoto is so worried about the fourth generation."
During the fight, Iwamoto mentioned the fourth generation many times, and it was only then that Hyuga Kyou understood where the resentment towards the fourth generation came from in Iwamoto's heart.
Among the three beheading troops that were lost, except for the one that was besieged in the Country of Grass, the other two were all killed by the fourth generation alone. Whoever changed this would hate the fourth generation.
Kakashi said worriedly at this time: "I'm worried that Yan Yin will make use of the problem this time."
Hyuga Kage, who was full of food and drink, leaned back: "There is nothing to worry about, we are in self-defense, we can't just catch them without a fight, let them kill them."
Kai Rao shook his head: "By the way, why did they attack us?"
Kakashi and Shisui looked at Hyuga mirror together.
Hyuga Kyou shrugged: "Don't look at me, I don't know very well."
Iwamoto may have some special ability, and he vaguely sensed something, so he focused on eradicating Hyuga Kyou for Iwagakure, so as to prevent Hyuga Kyou from becoming Konoha's second "golden flash".
But how could Hyuga Kyou spread such a thing
Once it gets out, it will not only easily attract Yan Yin's prying and hostility, but also easily arouse the unreasonable suspicion of the village's senior management.
After all, Hyuga Kyou was promoted from a wartime chunin to a special jōnin more than a month ago, and the rapid increase in strength has already attracted the attention of many people. If it is rumored that the captain of Iwagakushi's beheading unit is extremely afraid of him, and he wants to kill him quickly, then his secret Tenseiken will be hard to hide.
Even now, after knowing the weight of the decapitated troops in Yanyin, Hyuga Kyou has a headache.
He didn't even know how to explain to the village that he had killed Iwamoto. After all, according to common sense, a newly promoted special Jnin would never be able to defeat an elite Jnin like the beheading troop captain.
After everyone finished eating, Zhishui took the initiative to say, "Let me be on duty tonight."
Naturally, Hyuga Kyou had no objection, he was the most injured in the team.
Kai laughed and said, "It's better for you to watch the first half of the night, and I will watch the second midnight."
After resting in the Bird Country for a few more days, Class 11 set off on their way home again, and this time they went smoothly, without encountering any trouble on the road, and returned to the village safely.
Because it is directly under Hokage's Anbu, after returning to the village, Class 11 came directly to Hokage's office and reported the details of the Oni Land mission to Sandai.
After hearing that monster sprites have strength comparable to tailed beasts, Sandai was very surprised, and after learning that Squad 11 was ambushed by an Iwagakure beheading force in Bear Country, Sandai fell into silence directly.
After pondering for a long time, Sandai classified the Oni Land mission carried out by Squad 11 as a secret, and sealed it in the confidential archive that only Hokage could read.
At the same time, a gag order was issued to all members of Class 11.
Any information about the ambush battle between the monster sprites and the Xiong Kingdom must be kept secret and must not be disclosed to anyone...
