Chapter 696 early
Avalon's actions will follow Konoha's, but the actions Konoha will take now are somewhat different from before.
In the past, because of the existence of Todoroki, they were not at a disadvantage in terms of top-level combat power, but it is different now. Orochimaru's whereabouts are unknown now, although they infer that the other party has gone to the Kingdom of Ghosts to help the demons.
The seal has been lifted, but this is just a speculation after all.
And even if Orochimaru does go, there is a high possibility that this operation will be an eastward attack. After they lure Todoroki over, Orochimaru himself might sneak back to join the battle.
Therefore, the combat actions taken by Konoha this time must be much more conservative. They must always ensure that they have a safe evacuation route. Therefore, the troops are not advancing very fast. At the same time, a large number of patrols are also separated to clean up the surrounding transformations.
body, and more reconnaissance ninjas were distributed further away to check the surrounding situation to ensure that others would not outflank their retreat.
The fact that Nanao and Zero-Tails could not coexist gave them some confidence, so they went to the Kingdom of Demons with thunder to prevent the resurrection of the sprites.
Avalon's troops were assigned to the forward combat troops. Due to the presence of a large number of manipulators, their combat capabilities and endurance were very strong. At least when facing transformed bodies, their results were incomparable.
Konoha's ninjas are weaker, but this has made Avalon's ninjas slightly more famous in the ninja world.
While Todoroki and Mabuyi were chatting, Hinata and Xianglin packed up the things they needed to bring and returned.
This time, Bang Lei and the others will fly directly from the sky, so they won't be carrying anything too heavy, but even if they have these things, they will be sealed into the scroll, so there is no difference.
All of Honglei's things are in the sealing scroll, so he doesn't need to prepare anything at all. After Hinata and Xianglin are ready, he can go directly.
Honglei stood up, and then said to Mabuyi, "Okay, I'll leave the things here to you. I will complete the mission and come back as soon as possible. Let those children participate in more battles. We want to catch up as soon as possible.
The difference between other ninja villages can only be gained through a large number of battles to accumulate experience."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them before you come back."
"Thank you very much."
Honglei thanked him, then waved to Hinata and Xianglin, and led them away.
Before leaving, Todoroki found Jiraiya and obtained several joint locations guessed by the other party. This time, the miko from the Demon Country were on the run. Their whereabouts were difficult to grasp, and Todoroki could only go one by one.
Bang bang luck.
But fortunately, he brought Kaoru and Hinata with him this time. With their sensory abilities, Todoroki should be able to find the miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts in time.
Jiraiya gave a dozen possible locations, but most of them were mainly concentrated in the territory of the Kingdom of Stone, so they didn't need to go too far.
After the three of them left the frontline base, they quickly distanced themselves from it for half a day. Because of their strength, the three of them drilled to the location with the largest number of transformed bodies, so as to ensure that their flight would not be blocked.
people discovered.
However, there is actually no big problem if someone discovers it, it's just that Honglei wants to use this as a hidden method.
Xianglin confirmed that there were no ninjas nearby, and the three of them took off at the same time and rushed towards the Kingdom of Stone.
Todoroki and Kaoru naturally used their own super light and heavy rock techniques, while Hinata's only required a light tap on her body.
The three of them still wore camouflage cloths when flying. Although the meteor-like clouds looked very weird, in general, it was much better than directly revealing their identities.
Flying represents absolute mobility. The three of them traveled from the country of Taki all the way west across many countries, including the country of grass, the country of soil, and the country of rain. After several days of continuous flying,
Finally arrived at the territory of the Kingdom of Stone.
The Kingdom of Stone is a small country sandwiched between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind. There are rocks and mountains everywhere, and vegetation and water resources are very scarce. It can be said that it combines everything from the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth...
shortcoming……
But no matter how barren the land, there are still people living on it. Human beings are such a tenacious species.
The three of Todoroki first went to the first place that Jiraiya and the others guessed, which was a relatively large town nearby. Because there was a huge lake near the town, a large number of people gathered there.
Here, this became the first stop from the Kingdom of Demons to the Kingdom of Stone. Jiraiya and the others speculated that even if they couldn't find the shrine maidens from the Kingdom of Demons here, they could still get information about them. After all, there were hundreds of troops
It was too conspicuous, and those people did not carry enough supplies. They always needed to find a place to replenish what they consumed.
Xianglin and Hinata first sensed the town. Xianglin did not sense the large-scale troops gathered together, and Hinata did not see any noteworthy targets. Obviously, if the other party had not left here, then it was not there yet.
arrive……
"Hang Lei." Xiang Rin frowned while holding the map given by Jiraiya, and then said to Hong Lei, "Is this presumed location based on the speed we were traveling on the ground?"
"Uh." Hinata was stunned, "Doesn't this mean we're early?"
"No wonder we can't find anyone." Hinata muttered again.
Honglei was also a little embarrassed. He had forgotten about this. If calculated according to the speed on the ground, the time they spent would have to be at least doubled.
"Then, if the speed is increased..." Hinata glanced at the map, and then said, "For now, their location should be on the border between the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Yu.
If they had been faster, they might have entered the Bird Country by now."
After inferring the approximate location, Hinata raised her head and asked Todoroki, "Then what should we do now? Wait here or go directly to find their location? Now this is the only way to Konoha.
But there are several roads leading here from the Kingdom of You and the Kingdom of Birds, and we have no way of determining which one the other party is taking."
