Chapter 883 Together
Chapter 883 Together
The Land of Wind.
Outside the Konoha base.
As the temperature dropped at night, not only were people from Konoha moving around, but people from Sunagakure were also very active.
Recently, Konoha has been like a locust swarm, capturing any group that is from Sunagakure.
The tentacles from Sunagakure were completely unable to reach Konoha.
However, the people from Sunagakure stationed in other countries were constantly being recalled.
Now, many Sand Villages are gradually approaching Konoha in groups of three to five to investigate.
But they were clearly hesitant to act rashly, and they all remained scattered and did not gather together.
They were worried about being defeated by Konoha in one fell swoop, but they also didn't want to give up their territory.
It's clear that Kazekage Yekura is still actively searching for a solution and isn't just waiting to die.
Konoha has divided the area outside into several zones.
Those with perception and detection capabilities can be assigned a larger range.
Kakashi knew that Karin had sensory abilities, but he assigned her based on Neji Hyuga's observation range.
Xiao Li was classified as a frontline combatant and was not included in the calculation.
"Our patrol will last for three hours. In the coming hours, the temperature will drop to around -10°C, so please be careful to keep warm."
Neji held the map in his hand and explained it to Karin and Lee.
“We’ll start from this sand dune, and then we’ll reach a dried-up lake. We’ll walk along the original lakeshore until we reach this point.”
"Then go back and forth three times, and the time will be about right."
[I never expected our Konoha desert map to be so detailed; I thought we'd have to redraw the map.]
Neji thought to himself silently, unaware of Ebizo's existence.
They were still thinking that they were well prepared for this war against the Land of Wind.
"Xiao Li, you're not familiar with the situation here. Fighting in the desert, compared to our usual battles, requires us to pay more attention to the impact of the environment..."
Although Lee wasn't very bright, he was very obedient and diligently remembered everything Neji said.
Karin's mindset is different from Neji's and Lee's.
Although she was there to complete a mission, she didn't feel much psychological pressure.
After all, in order to familiarize the new generation with the battlefield, Chiyo had completely suppressed Konoha's offensive rhythm.
She'll do as much as she can, after all, she's very capable!
While Neji was explaining things to Lee, she formed hand seals and activated Kagura's Mind's Eye.
After years of practice and application, Karin has become very proficient in this skill.
The ripples, like radar waves, swept outwards and continued to spread far and wide.
Before long, Karin opened her eyes, her expression revealing a hint of confidence:
"As expected, there are White Zetsu gathering intelligence."
She had captured a White Zetsu in Konoha when she first awakened Kagura's Mind's Eye, so she was very familiar with these things that might be lurking underground.
Although this war is against Sunagakure, Obito's intelligence agents will definitely come to gather information as well.
It's important to know that, apart from her Kagura Mind's Eye, it's difficult for other abilities to find White Zetsu hiding underground.
The purpose of these White Zetsu is unclear, and others may even be in danger.
In the ninja world, the asymmetry of information gives them a significant advantage in battles.
Karin's greatest advantage is that outsiders have no idea that she possesses the perceptive ability of Kagura's Mind's Eye.
[White Zetsu, Obito, and Black Zetsu were unaware of this, so they didn't know they had been discovered.]
[But Master is also a sensory ninja, so he knows everything that's happening now.]
Karin brainstormed for a while and then felt relieved.
"Let's go, it's almost time for Karin."
Neji's voice brought Karin back to reality, and Lee beside her was also ready.
Karin looked relaxed: "Let's go, I wonder if we'll run into Sunagakure tonight."
……
The Land of Wind.
Tap tap tap... Tap tap tap...
Light footsteps echoed across the sand dunes as Violet's group marched across them.
Their mission tonight was also patrolling. With reinforcements constantly arriving from Sunagakure, Konoha was naturally being cautious.
Although the patrol area wasn't large, Shion was very diligent.
If Sunagakure mobilizes a large area, it will be immediately detected by Konoha.
Their patrols are to prevent elite troops from advancing.
The hydrangea lizard was also summoned behind them and was slowly following behind.
Despite its short legs, it can move quite fast on the sand.
A cool breeze brushed against Ziyuan's face, making her feel comfortable.
"Daytime and nighttime are completely two different worlds."
Ziyuan stopped and stretched comfortably.
The hydrangea and Ying beside her also stopped. Ying closed her eyes slightly, as if sensing something:
"There's not much difference. Natural energy is scarce, making it unsuitable for my combat."
"There shouldn't be any fighting tonight."
Ziyuan held a seal in her hand, and pressed a purple circular rune into the ground.
They need to patrol twice, but they've only gone once so far.
Hydrangea objected, "Don't even think about slacking off and going back."
Ziyuan snorted and lightly tapped the ground with her foot: "I haven't been playing around on this journey."
Both Ziyanghua and Ying saw that she would bury something underground every so often.
However, they were not proficient in formations and were unfamiliar with the energy of the Shion Shrine Maiden system, so they did not know what she was doing.
“A mission is a mission. Even if you set up a warning array, we still have to go back to patrol.”
Hydrangea objected earnestly; she was a very meticulous person and basically never slacked off.
No matter how tiring the mission is, they will always cultivate diligently after returning.
Hydrangea and Tenten are currently learning advanced knowledge of space-time ninjutsu.
However, this was a bit difficult. After several months of trying without even getting the hang of it, she didn't try to work in isolation. Instead, she joined the main force and came to the front lines.
Ziyuan snorted softly, "I know, I know, you're the most obedient one."
"In short, we can take our second patrol slower and make it easier."
Just as the three were talking.
Behind the distant sand dunes, a person is hiding with their eyes closed.
As a vortex rose up beside him, Obito emerged from it.
"Have you found it?" Obito asked.
The demon pointed to the other end of the sand dune.
"It's right there."
Obito concealed most of his figure and quickly surveyed the area.
"Are they really worth all this caution, just three brats?"
The demon opened its eyes, its face full of solemnity: "The priestess's successor is that white-haired one."
"But there's something wrong with the energy around her."
"Very strong."
"I can't win her over."
Obito lacked sensory abilities, and he was unaware of the strength or weakness of Shion's priestess lineage.
He only fought Maitreya many years ago, but the fight was very short and cannot be used as a reference.
Seeing how cautious the demon was, Obito said coldly, "Then let's go together."
