Yamanaka Yuuta, as the captain and a sensory ninja, was at the forefront of the team.
Like a cheetah, he moved silently through the forest, maintaining a distance of three hundred meters from the supply vehicles behind.
Behind him, Nara Mieko and Itoshiki were escorting the vehicles, ready to provide support to the front and rear at any time.
At the rear of the team, Akimichi Yoshimaru guarded the rear, ensuring the safety of the route.
Along the way, the four of them centered around the supply vehicles, their standard tactical formation like an invisible net, firmly protecting the convoy.
Yamanaka Yuuta kept his sensory ninjutsu active at all times, not daring to relax in the slightest. After all, this was a time of war, and any rustling of leaves could be an enemy trap.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Yamanaka Yuuta sensed a powerful chakra fluctuation not far ahead!
"Situation!"
Yamanaka Yuuta immediately stopped and made a hand gesture, signaling the team to halt.
He lowered his voice, speaking at a volume only his teammates could hear, "There's an ambush ahead, six people, but one of them has a very strong chakra reaction, possibly a Jonin!"
"Only one Jonin?" Nara Mieko's furrowed brows suddenly smoothed out, this level of enemy was not a challenge at all.
Itoshiki also appeared very calm. After this period of training, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap, and he was just worried about not finding a suitable opponent to test himself against!
"Leave it to me!" Akimichi Yoshimaru chuckled as if implying it was a piece of cake. Patting his chest, "I will protect the supplies and support you at any time!"
Yamanaka Yuuta ignored Akimichi Yoshimaru, quickly analyzing the current situation.
Although the number and approximate locations of the enemies had been identified, the strength of the opposing Jonin was still unknown, and they had to respond cautiously.
He quickly formulated a plan in his mind, deciding to take the initiative and kill the enemy Jonin first to reduce the threat.
"Mieko, you stay with the vehicles and protect them. Itoshiki and I will feign advancing. Attack after we initiate the assault. As for Yoshimaru, be ready to provide support at any time."
Yamanaka Yuuta quickly made his arrangements.
"Remember, our primary mission is to protect the supplies, don't get bogged down in battle!"
"Understood!" The three replied in unison.
Nara Mieko maintained her original speed, moving with the vehicles, while her shadow quickly extended, connecting with the carriage. Any enemy approaching would be firmly controlled.
Itoshiki, together with Yamanaka Yuuta, pretended to be nonchalant and continued to walk forward.
"These guys from Konoha are really stupid, they didn't even notice our ambush."
On a large tree not far away, a ninja wearing a Rain Village headband was observing Itoshiki and the others with a telescope.
A cruel smile appeared on his lips, as if he could already see the prey falling into the trap.
"Captain, should we make a move?"
Another Rain ninja asked, his voice hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing together, making it unpleasant to hear.
"Not yet, wait a little longer." The Rain ninja captain shook his head. "Wait for them to get a little closer, then we'll catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Itoshiki and Yamanaka Yuuta walked closer and closer, and the Rain ninja captain's breathing became rapid. He seemed to smell the scent of blood and see another achievement added to his record.
Itoshiki and Yamanaka Yuuta exchanged a glance, conveying a message to each other.
"Now!" Itoshiki quickly formed hand seals, and chakra rapidly gathered, "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
Itoshiki suddenly launched an attack. A terrifying flame, like a giant fire dragon, roared towards the front, wantonly devouring everything around it, enveloping all the Rain ninjas in front!
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
At the same time, Nara Mieko also made her move. She took a deep breath and exhaled suddenly, a gust of wind howling out.
It merged with Itoshiki's Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, creating an even more intense fire!
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
The Rain ninjas, unexpectedly ambushed, were all greatly shocked.
Only the captain, as a Jonin, reacted in time, quickly forming hand seals while dodging, barely managing to release a ninjutsu counterattack.
Although both were B-rank ninjutsu, the fire borrowed the wind's momentum, and the wind enhanced the fire's power. The Fire Dragon Flame Bullet and Great Breakthrough combined perfectly, instantly evaporating the Water Dragon Bullet!
The barely launched counterattack only bought his subordinates a mere instant of time. Of the five Chunin, only three reacted quickly and dodged, while the remaining two were directly burned to charcoal by the flames!
"Mind Transfer Technique!"
At this moment, Yamanaka Yuuta's figure suddenly appeared in the canopy behind the Rain ninja captain, having taken advantage of the opportunity when Itoshiki launched his attack to attract the enemy's attention.
He directly used the Body Flicker Technique to reach the side of the opposing Jonin captain, and now, taking advantage of the gap when the Rain ninja captain released his ninjutsu, he formed hand seals and activated the Yamanaka clan's secret technique.
"Not good!"
A warning bell rang loudly in the Rain ninja captain's mind. He wanted to dodge and counterattack, but it was already too late.
The Rain ninja captain couldn't even warn his teammates, his body directly froze in place, his consciousness already controlled by Yamanaka Yuuta.
"Human Bullet Tank!"
At the same time, Akimichi Yoshimaru, who had been waiting for a long time, also launched an attack. His entire body turned into a giant meatball, crashing towards the Rain ninja captain!
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the Rain ninja captain was directly sent flying, spurting blood from his mouth, his life or death unknown.
"Well done!"
Itoshiki exclaimed in admiration. He didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly.
"Don't be careless, there are still enemies!" Yamanaka Yuuta's voice was slightly tired. The Mind Transfer Technique had consumed a lot of his mental energy.
"Kill!" Itoshiki took the lead, rushing towards the remaining Rain Chunin and Genin.
Nara Mieko and Akimichi Yoshimaru also followed closely, engaging in a fierce battle with the Rain ninjas.
This was a battle with a huge disparity in strength. On the Konoha team's side, there was Yamanaka Yuuta, a sensory-type ninja, Nara Mieko, a control-type ninja, Akimichi Yoshimaru, a strength-type ninja, and Itoshiki, an all-rounder ninja.
On the Rain ninja side, apart from one Jonin captain who had already been killed, the rest were just some Chunin and Genin, not a match for the Konoha team at all.
The battle ended quickly. One Jonin and five Chunin, a total of six Rain ninjas, were killed by the team without even putting up much of a fight.
"Clean up the battlefield and see if there's any valuable information."
Yamanaka Yuuta released the Mind Transfer Technique and regained his own consciousness. He walked to the Rain ninja captain's corpse and began to search.
"The equipment of these Rain ninjas is too shabby, this doesn't seem like the level Rain ninjas should have," Akimichi Yoshimaru scratched his head, saying with some confusion.
"Stop complaining and hurry up and transport the supplies to the front lines, that's the main thing," Nara Mieko said.
"Yeah, Mieko is right, we can't delay here for too long."
Yamanaka Yuuta nodded. He found a map on the Rain ninja captain's body, which marked several field supply points in Rain Village.
"Looks like this harvest is not small."
Yamanaka Yuuta put away the map and said to everyone, "Let's go!"
The four of them set off again, escorting the supply vehicles and heading towards the front-line camp.
Along the way, they encountered several more small-scale attacks, but they were all easily resolved.
"These guys are really persistent."
Itoshiki said with some helplessness. He didn't expect there to be so many enemies on this route.
"There's no way around it, who told this route to be an important passage for transporting supplies, but we're really unlucky too," Nara Mieko said.
She sighed, "In times of war, this kind of thing is unavoidable."
