Several hours passed in a flash.
It was evening.
The sky poured down with torrential rain.
Seii and the others, drenched in the rain, arrived in a jungle.
The constant fighting and fleeing had left everyone exhausted and in desperate need of rest.
"Hyuga!"
Nara Shui looked at Hyuga beside him and spoke.
Hyuga understood what he ant, nodded, and forced himself to focus. He raised his hands to his chest and activated his Byakugan once again.
The next mont, the veins on both sides of his eyes bulged, and everything within a kiloter ca into his vision.
After a while, he closed his Byakugan and said in a deep voice, "There are no large enemy forces within a kiloter, only a few scattered ninjas are monitoring."
"Great!"
Hearing this, Nara Shui breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Seii and said, "Seii, those monitors are up to you.Hyuga, you provide support."
"Okay."
Hyuga responded, while Seii remained silent and walked straight out of the group.
The continuous killing had left him physically and ntally exhausted, and Seii didn't want to say another word.
Seeing Seii leave, Nara Shui nodded to Hyuga, signaling him to follow.
Soon, the two left the main group.
Well...
To say it was a large group was a bit of an exaggeration.
Over the past day, in order to avoid being held back and surrounded, they hardly stopped running.
However, doing so increased their marching speed but also left many Konoha ninjas who were entangled along the way unable to receive reinforcents, and ultimately they could only be captured or killed by the overwhelming Iwa ninjas.
Therefore, the group suffered severe losses.
Compared to the beginning, their numbers were now about half, and they could hardly be called a large group anymore.
...
About fifteen minutes later.
Seii returned from the other side.
His expression was still numb, and when he saw Nara Shui, he just nodded at him without saying a word.
From behind, Hyuga said, "All the monitoring points within a kiloter have been eliminated. We have at least half an hour of rest ti."
Having fewer people also had its advantages, that is, they could run fast enough that the main Iwa force couldn't catch up.
Now, with no monitoring points and heavy rain, it would take the Iwa ninjas even more effort to find them.
Of course, this was assuming they didn't rest here, as the situation here had likely been reported by the Iwa ninjas responsible for monitoring.
So, if they wanted to rest, they had to travel a bit further.
Thus, the Konoha team set off again soon.
Not long after they left, a few more Iwa reconnaissance teams arrived.
They carefully examined the traces on the ground and then chased after Seii and the others in the direction they had left.
Behind them was the main Iwa force.
Now, the Iwa ninjas weren't just three hundred-man squads. After a day of pursuit and interception, their numbers had already exceeded seven hundred.
And this was after Seii and the others had killed quite a few along the way, otherwise, there would be even more.
They checked the markers left by the reconnaissance teams and also chased after Seii and the others in the direction they had left.
In this way, the two sides engaged in a battle of wits, chasing and fleeing, and an entire night quickly passed.
...
The next day.
Morning.
Seii and the others looked at the hundred or so Iwa ninjas blocking their path, their expressions quite grim.
They were about to escape the Iwa pursuit and enter the radiation range of the Kaze Town stronghold, but suddenly this group appeared to block their way, and no one was happy about it.
If it were just an ordinary hundred-man squad, it wouldn't be a problem. Although they also had about the sa number of people left, they had absolute confidence in defeating the opponent.
But these Iwa ninjas in front of them were not ordinary.
Not to ntion that almost none of them were Genin, their spirit and fighting spirit alone were not comparable to ordinary ninja teams.
Undoubtedly, this was an elite squad.
And the Iwa ninja leading them confird this. It was none other than the Iwa Jonin, Gari, who had fought with Seii not long ago.
Upon seeing the opponent, Seii knew that today's hurdle wouldn't be easy to overco.
As long as the opponent had a bit of sense and didn't engage in a head-on confrontation with him, their side would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Seii was wary of Gari, but little did he know that Gari was also wary of him.
Gari had witnessed the battles over the past day.
Seii's performance was incredibly impressive. The losses he alone inflicted on the Iwa ninjas were almost a quarter of their total losses.
And yet, Seii showed no signs of fatigue.
This made Gari very wary of him.
Because of this, he carefully selected the subordinates responsible for intercepting Seii and the others this ti, organizing a group of elites before daring to co.
In the rain.
The two sides faced off.
Soone shouted "Kill!
