CH 178

Under the moonlight, on the empty loess land, Shikuro sat leisurely on the side while eating. A small stream was flowing slowly not far away, and there was a faint sound of water flowing.

Kikuchi leaned tightly next to Shikuro, his hands is protecting his chest, and his eyes are fluttering from side to side.

Opposite the two, Kanpū, Shisui and Yui are discussing how to deal with the three Iwagakure’s Chunin.

“Kanpū, do you have any good battle plan?”

Shisui recognized Kanpū’s wisdom very much, and asked for his opinion immediately.

Kanpū took a deep breath, and said thoughtfully: “The easiest way is to let Shikuro-sensei take action.”

“But Shikuro-sensei seems to want to train us…” Shisui glanced at Shikuro, who was eating calmly, hesitantly.

“Then… each of us need to create a shadow clone, use the shadow clone to lead them away, and then we led them around all night!” Kanpū said.

“Kanpū, won’t this be too risky?”

Shisui said hesitantly.

Creating shadow clone will consume half of their Chakra. If the shadow clone is killed by Iwagakure’s Shinobi, they will directly lose half of their Chakra. If a battle breaks out later, they will be in a very unfavorable situation.

Kanpū was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, chuckling in his heart. He has the physique of Uzumaki Clan, making his Chakra Refining’s speed to be fast, and coupled with the nine times increase brought by the perfect level Chakra Refining Technique, he can quickly replenish the Chakra consumed by creating shadow clone!

But Shisui and Yui can’t do it!

Kanpū coughed dryly and asked: “Then Shisui, do you have any good ideas?”

Shisui pondered for a while, then frowned: “The other side is three Chunin. If we look at it purely by strength, we are at a disadvantage! But we also have an advantage, which is, information! We already know their existence, and but they don’t know that we are a Shinobi. Maybe we can take advantage of this to set up an ambush and kill one of the Chunin first!”

Kanpū pondered for a while. With his Transparent Release and his newly made sword, Moonlight, coupled with the restraint from Shisui and Yui, when they least expected it, it is really possible to assassinate one of the enemies!

“Then, for the remaining two, can the three of us kill them?” Kanpū asked.

Shisui hesitated for a while, and said: “It should be fine…”

Kanpū pondered, thinking that he had to brainstorm some more ideas. He then looked towards Yui, who was always in ‘invisible’ state beside him, and asked: “Yui, what about you? Do you have any good plans?”

Yuyi said lightly: “No matter what the plan is, I will strictly implement it.”

‘Why don’t you like to use your brain?’

Kanpū really wanted to complain, but considering that if the battle is not going well, they may have to trouble Yui’s uncle, he let her save some face.

“Shisui, then let’s follow your plan!” Kanpū said.

Shisui’s eyes lit up: “Okay!”

After that, Shisui whistled, and not long after, a black crow flew from behind them in the darkness.

After Kanpū said that they were followed by the enemy, Shisui asked his crow to go back to find information.

The crow landed on Shisui’s shoulder, and immediately cawed with its little master.

It took a while for one person and one bird to finish their exchange.

Shisui closed his eyes and sorted out the information reported by the crow, and quickly formulated an ambush plan.

Then, he quietly pulled Kanpū and Yui, and whispered to them for a while.

“Aburame-dono, is this really okay?” Kikuchi sat next to Shikuro, and looked at Kanpū’s group of three very worriedly, “No matter what, the other side is three Chunin!”

Shikuro has finished eating at this moment, and upon hearing this, he said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Kikuchi-dono, it will be fine.”

Shikuro knew very well of his three students’ level.

Last time in the Land of Hot Water, the four of them were ambushed by Dodai and other Kumogakure’s Shinobi. At that time, Shikuro was stopped by Dodai, and Kanpū’s group of three faced two Chunin, and three Genin. Compared with today’s three Chunin lineup, there’s not much difference!

Shikuro believes in them!

And even if they really can’t do it, isn’t there still him?

Because of this, Shikuro didn’t panic at all.

The night gradually darkened.

Kanpū’s group of three chatted a little more, and then started to set up tents. Originally, they had one tent per person, but in order to facilitate the ambush, only three tents were set up this time!

Following Kanpū’s signal, Shikuro and Kikuchi entered a tent, Kanpū and Shisui entered a tent, and Yui entered the remaining tent alone.

Soon.

The surrounding turned silent.

One mile away, three Iwagakure’s Shinobi were silently observing the three silent tents.

“It’s almost time to take action!” The tone of the Iwagakure’s Shinobi, Isshiki showed a little impatience.

“Good grief, it’s just a group of ordinary people, can’t we just take action directly?” The other Iwagakure’s Shinobi, Nishimura also frowned and said.

“You idiots! There are three little brats among these people, so there must be Shinobi in their group! That guy with sunglasses is definitely one of them! Unfortunately, none of us have mastered Sensor Ninjutsu, so we can’t confirm his Chakra fluctuations!”

The last Iwagakure’s Shinobi is the leader of the three-person team called Mikami, He’s a cautious and excellent Chunin. (T/N: Isshiki, Nishimura, Mikami, they are named after number one, two, and three.)

“Don’t worry, there are three little brats on the opposite side. Even if the one with sunglasses is strong, we only need to catch those little brats and everything will be fine!” Nishimura said with a sneer.

The three chatted for a while, and at a certain moment, all the voices suddenly disappeared.

Immediately after, three ghostly shadows quickly approached the tents where Kanpū was located along the nearby mountain wall.

In silence, the three Iwagakure’s Shinobi have each arrived in front of a tent.

Mikami, Nishimura, and Isshiki looked at each other and nodded lightly.

‘Do it!’

In the next instant, a huge fireball suddenly roared out of the tent in front of Isshiki, and the hot light suddenly illuminated the earth like a scorching sun.

Isshiki’s eyes were illuminated by the dazzling flames, and he squinted subconsciously, but his movements were not slow. With a tip-toe, his whole body instantly leapt backwards, and at the same time, his hands formed hand seals:” Earth Release… Uh… Arhg!!”

Under the moonlight, a sword light that reflects the brilliance suddenly appeared from the void, directly piercing Isshiki’s heart!

It was Kanpū who was hiding in the dark to use sneak attack to fiercely attack the enemy!

‘It’s just…’

‘This feeling doesn’t seem right!’

When Kanpū saw the figure of the Iwagakure’s Shinobi in front of him suddenly turned into puff of smoke, his face changed slightly, and he quickly shouted: “Be careful!!”

At the next moment, accompanied by a tremor of the earth, more than a dozen times sharp stone spears suddenly rose from the ground, and brutally pierced all the three tents!

“I almost fell for it!”

“There are really Shinobi! Mikami, I really have to thank you this time!”

Isshiki and Nishimura’s voice slowly came from the shadows under the mountain wall.

The one who just ran to the three tents was just their clone!

Kanpū fell from in the sky and stood firmly on the tip of a sharp stone spear. The finger-wide Moonlight in his hand reflected a faint brilliance under the moonlight.

After that, Shisui and Yui also got out from the gaps under the dozen or so stone spears.

“Sorry, it’s all my fault!”

Shisui’s face is ugly.

The ambush plan failed, and he, the planner, is the one at fault.

“Since the plan has failed, let’s just charge up front!”

Kanpū said calmly, ‘Anyway, there is still Shikuro-sensei here. We won’t die!’

Yui waved her sleeves, and a dozen strands of black insect smoke filled the air, looming in the night.

“Hehehe, mere Konoha’s Genin actually dare to ambush us? How naive!”

With a look of disdain, Isshiki shot out a large amount of kunai, shuriken, and senbon directly toward Kanpū’s group of three.

The battle starts in an instant!
