BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64 - – 62 Raid
...…wheh...….
A cool breeze blew past, causing the two Cloud ninjas in the sentry post to unconsciously tighten their clothes.
One of them suddenly asked, "Hey, did you hear something?"
Another person listened for a while, then shook his head negatively, "Isn\'t it just the sound of insects and birds? What else did you hear?"
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed into the sentry post and dashed towards the two cloud ninjas.
"Who?"
Two cloud ninjas didn\'t even have the opportunity of subconscious defense before they fell under the cold light of the blade.
Taking a step forward the shadow checked the breath and pulse of the two of them. After confirming that the two were now dead, he slowly stood up and cast his eyes towards the secret warehouse located at the innermost part of this valley.
The shining moonlight fell on the black shadow, revealing his face.
This person is not someone else but Hyuga Kuroto who is responsible for attracting enemy attention and leading them away to generate a suitable opportunity for Kakashi.
After sneaking into the valley, Kuroto found that Cloud village had arranged a very tight defense for guarding against enemy attacks. Even when quite far away from the warehouse, there are already so many ninjas spread around here.
From such strict security, Kuroto can guess that Cloud Village must have stocked a lot of supplies here.
However, after a moment of careful observation with the Tenseigan, he couldn\'t stay calm anymore.
The number of ninjas guarding the warehouse is more than 150, and that\'s just those in the bright, if those guarding from the shadows are included than at the very least more than 200 enemy shinobi are present here.
This situation is far beyond Kuroto\'s expectations.
Initially, Team-11 expected about 50 to 80 enemy shinobi and planned their tactics accordingly, however, the current situation is obviously not what they expected.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the other end.
The noise was mixed with shouts and fighting sounds, it made the entire silent valley extremely noisy!
Kuroto looked in the direction while murmuring, "That should be Guy\'s direction, was he discovered so soon?"
The battle plan deployed by Team-11 is very simple.
Firstly, Kuroto, Shisui, and Guy will infiltrate into the valley from three different directions, while assassinating any of the enemy shinobi they encounter along the way, once they are spotted, they would immediately retreat while leading some guards away, to decrease the enemy number guarding the warehouse.
Then, Kakashi who is responsible for the final assault will charge straight into the warehouse and destroy it completely.
Finally, the four-member of the Team-11 who completed their part of the task will meet at the retreat point and return together to the Konoha Village.
However, the premise of this battleplan succeeding is that the enemy number should be around 80 at maximum. With the current enemy count, it\'s obviously not possible. So, an ominous premonition surged in Kuroto\'s heart.
As Kuroto prepared himself, the noise on that end finally faded away.
\'Since Guy was exposed then he must have acted according to the plan, leading away a part of Clouds forces.\' – thought Kuroto.
But Guy\'s exposure also made the Cloud ninja extremely alert and aware of the enemy attack. As a result of which teams of ninjas spread out and searched the entire valley inch by inch.
Seeing that enemy ninjas were about to approach at his location, Kuroto no longer hid and immediately threw several dozen kunai tied with detonation paper in their direction one-after-another.
Boom… boom… boom…
There was a series of violent explosions.
Under the cover of darkness and the rising smoke from the explosion, Kuroto unsheathed his sword and rushed towards the panicked ninjas.
"Who is it!?"
"Where…?"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"
"Be careful! It\'s an enemy attack!!"
The sword light flickered, and like a reaper, Kuroto reaped these ninjas, in the blink of an eye four ninjas were already dead.
"Wind Release: Breakthrough!"
However, before he can take any more actions, one of the chunin leaders reacted immediately and using a Wind Release ninjutsu cleared away the smoke and dust.
Without the cover of smoke, Kuroto\'s figure appeared in front of the whole crowd of Cloud shinobi.
Another Chunin leader immediately shouted as soon as he saw Kuroto, "It\'s Konoha Anbu, everyone, be careful!"
This group of Cloud search forces consists of Chunin and Genin ninja, so along with sending a signal to the base camp deep in the valley, the surrounded Kuroto.
According to the plan, Kuroto should retreat right at this moment.
However, considering that the number of enemy ninjas is far beyond what they imagined, he had to stay and attract more attention. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Kakashi to get close to the warehouse.
…
In another direction, Shisui also took the initiative to launch the surprise attack.
He started with the Body Flicker Technique, and in just a few moments, solved a four-person squad of Cloud shinobi, after which he rushed deeper into the valley.
Along the way, he didn\'t entangle with the enemy much but did kill off the individuals he could without letting the enemy discover himself, but as soon as he was about to approach the warehouse, a group of Cloud ninjas with a Jonin as their leader detected him.
With the fierce assault of Kuroto and Shisui, the entire valley was noisier. Explosions, roars, wailing and crying for help, one after another all the sounds mixed together.
Kakashi, who was hiding in the dark, was paying attention to all this, but he had to be patient as it wasn\'t yet time for him to assault.
Before long, Kuroto and Shisui choose to withdraw from the valley.
However, the enemy ninjas were obviously not kind enough to let the two of them get away so easily. So, two chasing units followed the two; to chase and kill them respectively.
"Guy drew eight people, Kuroto drew away 16, while Shisui drew away 12 ninjas…"
Kakashi while hidden in the dark silently counted the number of enemies led away by the teammates as he observed the changes in the guarding formation after the attack.
Counting the total number, the three members of Team-11 killed and led away, there are still more than 100 enemy ninjas here. But Kakashi can\'t blame them, this is already a very good result.
As for the problem of the enemy number being much higher?
Kakashi has no fear of it.
On the contrary, this increased his determination to destroy the warehouse, because such a strong defense just implies that that the supplies stored must be really important for the Cloud Village.
Taking a deep breath, he muttered, "It\'s now!"
Ox – Rabbit – Monkey – Dragon – Rat – Bird – Ox – Snake – Dog – Tiger – Monkey
As Kakashi completed this hand sign printing, suddenly, a sharp and piercing sound reminiscent of many birds chirping echoed throughout the valley!
Accompanied by the sound of birds chirping, Kakashi, dashed forward into the valley…
…
On Kuroto\'s side, as he was moving through the trees, the sound of Kakashi\'s unique Jutsu \'Chidori\' echoed throughout the valley, indicating that Kakashi has launched the final assault.
While still jumping from tree to tree, he glanced at the Cloud ninjas chasing behind him. There were sixteen of them divided into four squads. Among these 16, there were 2 at least Jonin Class from their Chakra Volume, and five were Chunin while the rest being Genin class.
\'I have to eliminate these people before reaching the retreat point!\' – thought Kuroto.
Having made up his mind, he stopped at a clearing, and slowly pulled the Kusanagi Sword out of the sheathe on his waist.
Clouds chasing ninjas immediately spread around, surrounding him. The leader of one of the squads smiled and said while looking at the Kuroto\'s young figure, "Just a kid, but look at the courage, dared to sneak in here!"
