According to the information relayed by the snake swarm, there is a small path, suspected of being abandoned, on the left side of the main road.
There are very obvious traces of carriages having passed there.
Besides that, the snake swarm has made no other discoveries.
Of course, the main reason is that the intelligence of the snakes acting as scouts is really too low.
The combined intelligence of several hundred snakes wouldn't even equal Nawaki's standard intelligence.
So, you can't ask for much more at this time.
It's already not easy for them to bring such 'detailed' information to Tatsumi.
Tatsumi and Kushina, constantly leaping, rotating, and weaving between the large trees, quickly approached their destination.
They carefully surveyed the weeds for a while and confirmed the existence of such a path.
The six roads on the map, plus the two roads just discovered, now make a total of eight roads.
It's indeed a bit difficult for four people to watch eight roads.
But even with the difficulties, they must persevere, knowing that the organization is facing even greater difficulties than them.
Tsunade is leading two newbies to search such a large forest. As for Orochimaru, he has to do two jobs at once.
The leaders above haven't complained, so where do these grassroots personnel have the right to complain?
So they can only tighten their belts.
After Tatsumi confirmed the road, he began to set up traps.
There are only four of them, and it's impossible to constantly monitor these roads at all times.
The so-called simple trap usually involves pulling a thin line across the road surface. If someone accidentally steps on it, it will trigger the trap.
As for what will be triggered, kunai or explosive tags, that depends on each person's preference.
Although this kind of trap is simple, it can still kill ninjas.
Unlike some ninjutsu that look very powerful, flashy, but never hit anyone or kill anyone.
"During this period, we will mainly monitor this route and the other seven routes."
"If it's your turn to monitor, if there's anything wrong, remember to notify me quickly. Or you can form a small team with you and Mikoto," Tatsumi said after thinking for a while.
Although Tsunade can confidently entrust Kushina to Tatsumi, he can't let himself go like that too.
If something happens to Kushina, with all those people with backgrounds, wouldn't he be the one to take the blame in the end?
He doesn't want to inherit the title of Konoha's scapegoat.
"Then, can I be in a team with you?" Kushina asked, her face flushed.
Her red hair was tied behind her back, with a butterfly-shaped hairpin on her forehead, and her black ninja outfit made her look very cute.
Tatsumi touched Kushina's head, "There are too many roads, Nawaki and I must each be a team by ourselves."
"If Tatsumi and Nawaki can do it, Mikoto and I can do it too."
"It's safer for you and Mikoto to be together. A man who can't protect women is an incompetent man. Safety and such are not things a man should pursue."
Tatsumi showed a big smile.
Kushina's face became increasingly red, like a tomato.
She only felt a burst of dizziness, as if there was nothing to fear anymore.
When the two of them returned, Nawaki had already returned from hunting.
Not bad, he caught a Poliwhirl.
Mikoto and Kushina went to cook together. Tonight, they'll have dry pot Poliwhirl, which is said to have a tender, smooth, and chewy texture.
Of course, the above paragraph is excerpted from 'Pokémon Cooking Guide: China Edition'.
Tatsumi picked up the tea that Mikoto had brewed and took a sip.
The tea was still very hot, emitting a very fragrant aroma.
Nawaki revealed a smug smile.
"How about it, the prey I caught is pretty good, right? Thank me, so you don't have to eat dry food tonight."
Tatsumi smiled, "Then I should thank your girlfriend. Thank her for not appearing for the past nine years, allowing you to focus on ninjutsu and become so excellent. I hope she doesn't appear for the next few decades."
.....
After eating dinner, the few of them made do in the tent.
Time passed quickly and peacefully like this.
Within three days, Orochimaru came over to hand over with Tatsumi once.
In other words, they exchanged information with each other.
Tatsumi told Orochimaru about the new roads he had discovered and the monitoring times.
And Orochimaru told Tatsumi that neither he nor Tsunade had found any traces.
So even Orochimaru began to suspect that this was all a hoax.
But what exactly is the other party's purpose?
Orochimaru decided that if there were no discoveries in the last three days, he would declare the mission a failure.
They have three more days before they can return to Konoha.
In this boring atmosphere, it's easy to feel dizzy.
The few of them are still students at the Ninja Academy.
Most of the students should have already returned to school.
Only the few of them are still in this godforsaken primeval forest, engaging in wilderness survival.
Just imagining Minato's dumbfounded expression when he returns to school and finds that the few of them are not there, Tatsumi couldn't help but laugh.
Today is the last day.
Tatsumi, Mikoto, Kushina, and Nawaki were squatting together under a large tree, teasing crickets.
"Tomorrow this mission will be over. We can finally return to Konoha," Nawaki said excitedly.
He was very happy after his cricket flipped Tatsumi's cricket over.
"That letter must be fake, the Rain Country shouldn't have the guts to come," Nawaki analyzed the current situation, transforming into elementary school student Conan.
"Assuming the ninjas from the Rain Country come and are discovered, then they will be identified as invaders. They wouldn't dare to do that."
Tatsumi then smiled, "Nawaki, according to statistics, more than 95 percent of the people who die in fights are the ones who strike first, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because the people who didn't die will say that the dead ones struck first."
Tatsumi found an especially large cricket and rejoined the battle.
"Similarly, if we all die, no one will know that the Rain Country struck first. So your assumption is not valid."
After fighting a few rounds, even Kushina, who liked playing this the most, felt bored.
Just as the few of them were waiting to return to Konoha tomorrow, they didn't know that danger was approaching step by step.
