Chapter 51 Ending the mission
Looking at the Sand Ninjas who surrounded him in a serious manner, Uchiha Feiyu chuckled:
"You actually deployed such a cautious formation against me. It seems that you are very determined this time!"
"But I'm sorry to have to mobilize so many troops. If my real body was here, it might be a little dangerous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, with a bang, Uchiha Feiyu, who was standing in the center, turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.
The group of Sand Ninjas who were originally surrounding Uchiha Feiyu were suddenly frozen. They didn't expect that after all their careful plan of mobilizing so many troops, they only managed to surround one shadow clone?
Ye Cang's orange eyes looked at the sand-controlling ninja at the beginning, and he spoke with an angry look on his face:
"Hongsha! What the hell is going on? You haven't even distinguished your shadow clone from your real body, and you called us all here?"
The ninja named Hongsha was also stunned, but he quickly reacted:
"No... We just went through one round of fighting. He didn't have the chance to use his shadow clone to replace his real body!"
"Unless...unless this guy used his shadow clone to test and fight from the beginning!"
The sand dune three kilometers away, which looks ordinary, has been completely hollowed out in the middle, and the structure has been strengthened through earth tunneling to prevent the dune from collapsing.
In the cool cave, Uchiha Feiyu was sitting cross-legged in the middle and suddenly opened his eyes:
"This time the robbery on the supply team failed. The Sand Ninja was well prepared. Not only did they set a trap, they also sent in real experts!"
"So what should we do next? Continue the mission?"
After hearing his words, Uchiha Feiyu's three subordinates did not have any doubts, and Hinata Ichiro asked first.
Over the past two months, the three of them have followed Uchiha Feiyu and helped him deal with a lot of trivial matters, such as determining the location of the enemy team, digging and building temporary bases for rest, and... chatting to relieve boredom?
Anyway, nothing related to fighting was done, even Ito Ryoma's medical ninjutsu was not used. Uchiha Feiyu was so cautious that he didn't seem like a young ninja. Instead, he was like an old fox in his seventies. He always sent his shadow clones to take action.
However, even though Uchiha Feiyu always stayed in the base and sent out shadow clones, ordinary ninja teams had no resistance against a high-speed ninja like him who could become invisible, even if it was a shadow clone.
The biggest problem with the shadow clone is that it is fragile, but the key is that when it is invisible and moving at high speed, there is no possibility of harming the shadow clone without an elite jonin level ninja or a perceptive ninja, so until now, this trick of his has not been discovered by anyone.
"What a ridiculous mission! It's been more than two months, and I've killed hundreds of Sand Ninjas. The mission is almost complete. If I don't run away, I'm really going to fight those Sand Ninjas!"
No matter what, the Wind Country is the territory of the Sand Ninja. If the other party is really determined and sends a large number of people to search, it will be difficult for Uchiha Feiyu and others to hide.
This kind of thing is nothing more than a matter of cost. If Uchiha Feiyu continues to intercept and kill like this, even if he withdraws manpower to conduct a large-scale search and has a great impact on the war on the front line, the other side will definitely try their best to surround and kill him and others.
"Retreat directly? Lord Orochimaru hasn't sent out any message yet. If we retreat directly, we won't be held accountable, right?"
Ito Ryoma was an ordinary civilian ninja. After hearing what Uchiha Feiyu said, he suddenly hesitated.
"If you guys want to wait for news, that's fine! I'm going to retreat first anyway!"
"If Orochimaru wants to hold someone responsible, that's up to him... although I don't think he would do something so stupid."
After saying that, Uchiha Feiyu began to pack up and prepare to retreat. Without saying a word, the two family ninjas, Yamanaka Chengyi and Hyuga Ichiro, also began to pack up at the same time. Seeing the current situation, Ito Ryoma also swallowed his saliva. Staying alone in the Kingdom of Wind to carry out the mission? Isn't that courting death?
No matter how important the mission was, could it be more important than one's own life? Thinking of this, Ito Ryoma also ran over to help clean up.
During this period, Uchiha Feiyu intercepted a large number of Sand Ninja supply transport teams, and the various supply scrolls obtained alone could be piled into a small mountain.
However, most of the ordinary supply scrolls had been sent to the Ryuchi Cave by Uchiha Feiyu using summoning magic. Only some scarce supplies such as detonating talismans, military ration pills, and various secret medicines were left behind.
Those sent to Ryuchi Cave will naturally be taken out by Orochimaru and will be considered as Konoha's public account. These scarce materials will be the private gains of Uchiha Feiyu and others.
This behavior of embezzling the spoils is also considered an unspoken rule in the ninja world. As long as a powerful ninja is determined, there is basically no such thing as poverty.
After walking out of the cave, Uchiha Feiyu performed the Light and Heavy Rock Technique on himself and the other three people, and then the four of them retreated towards the direction of River Country.
……
Besides, after the Sand Village's plan failed, they did not give up. Ye Cang and his men continued to search on the road of the supply team, but after spending more than a month, they did not find a single thing.
Not only that, there had been no attacks on the supply team in over a month, so by the time the search was over, the members of the search team were almost furious.
"That damn Konoha brat is just like a turtle! He actually retreated so easily! Is he even a man?!"
At the Sand Village's camp command center, Ye Cang slapped the table in hatred and was so angry that he almost burst into curses.
Luo Sha, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and said in a low voice:
"Well, let's just let it go! Since the enemy has withdrawn, at least there won't be any problems with the transportation routes for our supplies in the rear."
"But what if the enemy cuts off our supply transportation line again? If we don't kill them, our supply transportation will always be threatened!"
Ye Cang's words made Luo Sha's expression even darker. It was easy for this woman to say, but if there was really a chance to kill that Konoha ghost, would he still sit here?
The other party is probably already back in the Konoha camp now. Are they going to attack the Konoha camp directly just for this matter?
It is always easy to ask questions, but it is extremely difficult to solve problems!
"Well, that Konoha ghost is indeed very cunning, and now is not the best time to deal with him. In the short term, we can only focus on the more important side."
Ebizo jumped out to smooth things over, and finally made Luosha's expression look a little better. Ye Cang opened his mouth, but in the end didn't say much.
