"Everyone, report the situation!"
Shinchi, who was hiding in the treetops, and two other companions came to the wooden house and reported the situation to their captain.
"Everything is fine x3"
"Um"
The Anbu team leader wore an eagle mask on his face. After listening to the report from his members, he turned around and spoke to a figure on a tree trunk not far away.
"Ao, tell your team to rest for a while. Everyone has been working hard for half a day, and there are still five hours before the end of get off work."
The next moment, the figure jumped down from the tree trunk. There was a protruding bird beak on his face, and he was thin and looked quite capable.
"No, you guys should rest first. We'll talk later. It's better to be safe than sorry."
"Okay, you guy."
The hawk-masked Anbu cursed with a laugh, then turned to look at his own team members.
"Rest for another five minutes and then continue. Let's switch teams."
"good"
"Captain, I brought some meatballs from the store. Let's share them."
Shinchi stepped forward and took out a package from his arms. When he opened it, he found a clean lunch box with seven or eight meatballs inside.
"Hey, are these the meatballs from Sister Mari's house, Captain?"
An Anbu nearby looked at the food pill in his hand and found it hard to swallow for a moment. Then he and his companions turned their gazes towards the hawk-faced Anbu.
"The meatballs from Mari's house? I haven't eaten there for a long time."
Although he didn't take off his mask, it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Although everyone who joins the Anbu has to hide their identities, they have been teammates for many years, so they are also very good friends in private. They also often patronize the meatball shop opened by the Mari family.
"Then let's each have one string, and give some to Mari's team as well."
"Captain, wise!"
After getting permission, the two Anbu immediately rushed to shinchi, one of them picked up a skewer, took off his mask and started eating. Both of them looked young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they immediately showed satisfied expressions on their faces after eating the meatballs.
"Captain, this is for you. I'll go get some for them."
After taking the string of meatballs handed over by Shinchi, Eagle Face took off his mask. He looked to be about thirty years old, with an ordinary face. He smiled after taking the meatballs from Shinchi.
"Go ahead."
"Thank you, no..."
"Gu, gu"
Looking at Shinchi walking towards him, Ao was about to refuse, but when he heard a strange sound coming from the bushes next to him, his mouth under the mask twitched involuntarily, and he finally chose to accept it helplessly.
"Here, don't forget to thank them."
AO handed a bunch of meatballs to the bushes beside him in a bad mood. Immediately, a hand reached out from there and snatched the meatballs, followed by a chewing sound.
"Thank you, Sister Mari"
Two other figures rushed out from the darkness, took the two strings of meatballs and then returned to the darkness. Of course, they did not forget to thank Shinchi.
"You're welcome. I'll go back first."
After shinchi finished speaking, she walked back with the lunch box with only one meatball left. After noticing the unsatisfied expressions of her other two companions after they finished eating, she handed the last bunch of meatballs to them, nodded and smiled.
"Here, divide it between you two."
This made the two young men feel a little embarrassed and started to push each other away.
"Ahem, Sister Mari, you should eat now."
"Yeah, we've already eaten anyway."
Shinchi was unmoved and pushed the meatballs forward twice more.
"Okay, I can eat it at home every day. I just ate when I came here, so I'm not too hungry now. You can take it to help Sister Mari."
"Um, thank you Sister Mari! X2"
Looking at the two subordinates in front of him who started arguing about the balls, the Hawk-Eye Anbu held his forehead with one hand, turned his head and looked at Mizue and said.
"You spoil them too much, Haru."
"It's okay, Captain."
Mizue just smiled gently, put away the empty lunch box, and waved to the few people.
"I'll go on duty first."
"Alright you two, once you've rested up get back on guard duty!"
"Yes, Captain! X2"
The two men put on masks and quickly returned to their duty stations. After seeing all his subordinates return to their posts, Eagle Face made a gesture to Mari who was not far away and then disappeared from the spot.
"Phew, it tastes really good."
Hiroki leaned against the tree trunk, rubbing his stomach and savoring the deliciousness of the meatballs he had just eaten. He subconsciously relaxed a lot.
At this moment, something strange happened!
A kunai flew through the air and pierced directly into the tree trunk next to Hiroki. Before he could react, the detonating tag behind the kunai lit up white light!
"not good!"
When Hiroki reacted, his face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to dodge, he found it was too late. With a huge explosion, everyone here was alarmed.
"Something's happening!"
The eagle-faced Anbu roared, and the Mari team that was resting immediately stood up and ran over here. At the same time that the Anbu named Hiroki was attacked, another Yoshino was also attacked. Several wind blades flew out from the woods and shot towards the latter!
"Water Style Water Formation Wall!"
Yoshino shouted softly, and a stream of water appeared out of nowhere, turning into a wall of water standing in front of him.
In an instant, the two collided, and the water array wall that the former had tried hard to maintain suddenly collapsed after blocking most of the wind blades. Yoshino, who was unable to dodge, instantly felt a sharp pain in his thigh and fell to the ground the next moment.
At this moment, several other people also rushed over. Mari left a word "be careful" and chased into the depths of the jungle alone. The remaining few people gathered together, observing their surroundings vigilantly.
The Eagle-masked Anbu looked gloomily at the injured Yoshino and Hiroki, who was lying in the jungle in the distance, breathing more than breathing in. His two subordinates had lost their combat capability before the battle even started, and the enemy had crossed two cordon lines in succession without raising an alarm. There must be a problem with the intelligence.
In other words... there is a traitor in the Anbu!
"Everyone, retreat to the open space! The three of you will guard the surroundings, and Mari, you carry Ye on your back. We don't know the enemy's number yet. If we split up, we'll be defeated one by one. The village must have deployed secret sentries besides us. Our current goal is to hold Sanwei and wait for the village's support!"
The Eagle-faced Anbu was worthy of being the captain. He quickly analyzed a large amount of intelligence and response strategies based on the existing situation. Everyone immediately seemed to have a backbone. They brought Hiroki, whose life or death was unknown, and the injured Yoshino to the open space, and then dispersed around the wooden house, always keeping vigilant to the surrounding jungle.
"Water Style Water Dragon Bullet!"
A water dragon flew out from the forest and rushed towards the crowd.
"I'll do it!"
Just as the eagle-masked Anbu was about to step forward, a low voice was heard, and a figure rushed out of the wooden house. A cold light flashed, and it directly split the water dragon in the air, and then turned into a stream of water and fell to the ground.
"You guys are in charge of guarding the Three-Tails. Don't worry, the sentries must have noticed this place, and the village will get the news soon. I sensed it earlier, and there are only two people's chakra fluctuations nearby. Go chase one, and leave this to me. I want to see what's playing tricks!"
The Anbu who suddenly jumped out was tall, holding a big knife in his hand. After leaving a series of instructions, he went into the jungle alone and chased deep into the jungle.
The atmosphere on the field became more and more tense!
