Chapter 88: Lord Mumo of Kusagakure Village! Formulation of surprise attack tactics!
After reaching a consensus!
Fujiwara Tetsuya led Uchiha Mikoto and the other two, quickly returning along their original path!
Upon reaching the lake!
They immediately turned north and continued to advance rapidly!
The lost time could only be desperately reclaimed!
"Tetsuya!"
At Aburame Mokujin's call!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's figure instantly turned back!
He, Uchiha Mikoto, and Torune Ryoui landed beside Aburame Mokujin one after another!
At this moment!
Aburame Mokujin was half-crouching on the ground! Guided by a few insects, he had cleared away the dead branches and leaves beneath his feet!
On the damp soil!
Several clear wheel tracks, about three fingers deep, were visible!
"Tetsuya! It seems your deduction was entirely correct!"
"That batch of goods from Shuofeng City was indeed taken by Ninja from Kusagakure Village!"
Touching the wheel tracks on the ground!
A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the four!
Judging by the tracks on the ground, the Grass Ninja team must have left not long ago!
Chasing them now, there was still enough time!
"Continue the pursuit!"
"But there's one thing! Before we ascertain the number of Ninja from Kusagakure Village!"
"No unauthorized actions!"
Uchiha Mikoto! Torune Ryoui! Aburame Mokujin!
They also seemed to understand the situation they were about to face!
Their expressions immediately became much more serious!
Meeting Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze, they nodded heavily!
...Dusk! At the moment the sun rose!
It completely dissipated!
In the dense forest not far away!
Dozens of Grass Ninja, escorting more than ten carriages, continuously advanced towards the Land of Grass!
As the sunlight scattered!
The water vapor filling the mountains seemed to have thinned a bit!
This also made many Grass Ninja, who had been up all night, yawn lazily in between driving the carriages!
"Lord Muma!"
"As long as this batch of goods is safely transported back to the Village!"
"You will definitely be highly regarded by the leader! At that time, even entering the high ranks will likely not be difficult!"
"At that time! I hope you will remember our past relationship and help us out!"
At the very front of the convoy!
Several Grass Ninja were gathered around a man!
Constantly flattering him!
This man, named Muma, was the orchestrator of the raid on Shuofeng City's goods!
A Jonin from Kusagakure Village!
"This matter is not as simple as you perceive it!"
"Although this time we indeed reaped a bountiful harvest and also smeared Amegakure, diverting the attention of Konoha Ninja!"
"But ultimately, this matter was due to the leader having reached an agreement with that person beforehand!"
"That's why we had such an easy time!"
"There will be rewards! But as for promotion to the high ranks!"
"With my current qualifications, I am still far from it!"
Looking at the Ninja beside him!
Muma's expression paused! He suddenly shook his head!
"Remember, do not speak of these things again in the future!"
"If they are overheard by certain individuals, even I won't be able to save you!"
High ranks! Equivalent to power!
While power is very alluring!
His optimal choice was still to consider living well!
"We understand! Thank you for the advice, Lord Muma!"
Muma's words made these Elite Chunin from Kusagakure Village!
Break out in a cold sweat! After exchanging glances, they each lowered their heads!
..."Tetsuya! The Kusagakure Village team is ahead!"
"According to the intelligence relayed by the insects!"
"As we previously speculated! There is indeed a Jonin-level strong individual in their team, but fortunately, there is only one!"
"There are about ten Ninja at the Chunin and Elite Chunin level! As for Genin-level Ninja, there are a total of thirty-seven!"
Stroking the black beetle on his fingertip!
Aburame Mokujin's low voice!
Gradually echoed in the ears of Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other two!
One Jonin! Ten enemies between Chunin and Elite Chunin!
Whispering!
Fujiwara Tetsuya decisively ignored the Genin!
However! Looking at the strength of the Thirteenth Squad members!
Winning this battle would not be an easy task!
Even more so! There was a risk of casualties and mission failure!
To fight?
Or to retreat now and inform Hokage-sama of everything here?
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya lowered his head in thought!
Constantly wavering between fighting and not fighting!
Uchiha Mikoto! Aburame Mokujin! had already placed their hands on Fujiwara Tetsuya's shoulders!
"Tetsuya! Let's go!"
"After all, we are no longer who we once were!"
After the Mist Island mission!
In a corner Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't see!
Aburame Mokujin! Uchiha Mikoto! were both desperately training harder!
Constantly making themselves stronger!
Perhaps! This encounter today!
Was precisely the moment for them to test the results of their training!
"Alright! Then let's go!"
"Let's take down these Grass Ninja!"
Belief is contagious!
What's more! Fujiwara Tetsuya was never one to give up easily!
He didn't retreat when facing the Kirigakure!
So why would he retreat from mere Grass Ninja?
The moment he looked up!
Fujiwara Tetsuya allocated all his Slaughter Points to Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!
Containing! Or quickly defeating that Jonin from Kusagakure Village!
Was absolutely the key to their victory!
[Ding! Slaughter Points allocated! host panel synchronized and updated!]

Slaughter Points: 0
Facing a large number of Grass Ninja!
The choice of tactics was crucial!
If there were no goods to worry about! Two Great Waterfall Techniques would definitely relieve a lot of pressure on the Thirteenth Squad!
But! They couldn't!
"Mikoto!"
"Hm?"
"You must survive!"
As the representative of the squad's combat power!
Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto naturally became the vanguards of the assault!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's target was the ten Chunin and Elite Chunin!
And what Uchiha Mikoto had to do was to assist the Water Clone reflected by Fujiwara Tetsuya's Water Release: Water Mirror Technique as much as possible, to hold back the Jonin from Kusagakure Village!
