Chapter 96: Everyone is awakened, faced with a difficult choice and a certain death!
"It seems a little too quiet here!" Kakashi, Hiashi Hyuga, and the others lurked on high ground, carefully observing the seemingly poorly defended supply point in the valley below.
Experience has taught them that things are never as simple as they seem.
The easier the task Danzo gives, the more likely it is to hide a deadly trap.
"Chief Hiashi, something's not right. Danzo's intelligence said there's a spies from Root here, but we haven't seen any signals of contact along the way. And the defenses at this supply point are far too weak."
"Please, just roll your eyes at me!"
"Alright!" Hiashi Hyuga nodded calmly, the veins around his white eyes bulging instantly as he activated his Byakugan.
"I'll give it a try too!" Hyuga Hizashi, standing to the side, also activated his Byakugan at the same time.
The two brothers' vision instantly pierced through the obstruction of rocks and trees, taking in all the chakra flows within a radius of hundreds of meters.
Finally, they carefully examined the situation inside the supply point.
After a moment, Hiashi Hyuga withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "There is indeed only one squad of Cloud Village ninja around, four people, patrolling around the perimeter of the camp. The chakra strength within them is at most at the Chunin level."
Hyuga Hizashi added, "There are several tents and warehouses inside the camp. The chakra reaction is very weak, like ordinary supplies. There is no sign of a large number of hidden ambushes."
"There are some strange markings on the ground, but they don't seem to be traps!"
"That's good!" Kakashi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kurenai Yuhi all relaxed upon hearing the Hyuga brothers' reconnaissance results.
Asuma even pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Looks like Danzo actually told the truth this time? This mission is much simpler than I thought."
Kurenai Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of doubt remained in her bright red eyes: "While a weak defense is a good thing, it still feels too easy."
Might Guy clenched his fists, a hint of regret on his face: "Only Chunin? Looks like we won't be able to have a passionate, youthful battle! What a pity!"
Everyone else looked at Matt Kai speechlessly upon hearing this.
Isn't an easy task a good thing?
This guy is definitely out of his mind!
"A strange marking technique!" Shingetsu pinched his chin, summarizing the information sent back by Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.
He naturally wouldn't blindly believe Samui's intelligence.
Instead, one must synthesize all the information and make the final analysis and judgment oneself.
"It seems that it truly is the mark of the Heavenly Gift Technique!"
"It seems Samui's intelligence was indeed true!"
"If that's the case, then it's simple from here on out!" With that thought in mind, he felt he could proceed with his next plan.
"Captain, give the order! We can take over this place instantly, then install explosive tags and completely blast the surrounding area apart!" Might Guy and Asuma were both eager to try.
Even the somewhat timid and cautious Kurenai Yuhi pulled out explosive tags, preparing to go down and detonate them.
However, what Shenyue said next left them completely baffled.
"Everyone, retreat immediately and hide in the wooded area on the high ground two kilometers away."
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Shenyue in confusion.
"Captain, why?" Kakashi asked first. "The enemy only has four Chunin. We can take them out quickly, destroy the supply point, and then retreat."
Asuma frowned and said, "Kamizuki, are you scared? I can handle these small fry by myself!"
"Brainless!" Shingetsu ignored Asuma's questioning, staring at the camp below with his Sharingan, and slowly said, "This supply point is far more dangerous than it looks. Kumogakure has a unique ninjutsu called the Heavenly Delivery Technique, which can instantly teleport items to a preset coordinate location."
Hearing this, Might Guy couldn't help but interject, "Heavenly Delivery Technique? Even if they can teleport ninja tools, they still need someone to operate them! As long as we're fast enough, we can take care of those four Chunin before they finish teleporting. Even if they teleport some powerful ninja tools, it's useless if no one uses them!"
"Believe me, youthful energy can be unleashed in an instant!" He waved his fist, exuding confidence.
"That's right, taking care of four Chunin is very easy!" Kurenai Yuhi and Hizashi Hyuga nodded slightly, agreeing with Guy's assessment.
Kakashi seemed to be deep in thought and did not immediately express his opinion.
"What if what's teleported isn't ninja tools, but a person?" (Kamizuki)
"A person?!" Kakashi jerked his head up, a look of astonishment flashing in his Sharingan eyes. "This is impossible! The principle behind the Heavenly Transfer Technique is to use high-speed teleportation, generating an extremely terrifying spatial tearing force. An ordinary ninja's body simply cannot withstand it; they would be torn to pieces during the teleportation process! Unless…"
His voice stopped abruptly as a terrible thought surfaced in his mind.
Shen Yue continued, her tone still calm: "Unless, it is the Fourth Raikage, who possesses the strongest spear and the strongest shield, and whose physical strength is monstrous, who comes in person."
"The Fourth Raikage?!" Asuma exclaimed in a low voice, his dark face turning pale.
"What?" Kurenai covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror.
Although the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, did not change their expressions, their white pupils slightly contracted.
"That's right. If it's that person, with his terrifying Lightning Release chakra mode and incomparably strong physique, he might actually be able to withstand the spatial tearing force of the Heavenly Delivery Technique. Danzo basically gave us a death trap! He knew the coordinates of the Heavenly Delivery Technique were here all along, and deliberately made us trigger it to attract the Fourth Raikage!"
Everyone's face turned extremely ugly.
They finally understood Danzo's treacherous scheme.
Using a seemingly simple mission as bait, they lured this elite Konoha squad into the clutches of the Fourth Raikage!
"Exactly!" Shingetsu nodded, confirming Kakashi's prediction: "This supply point is strategically located, connecting multiple supply lines to the front lines. If we destroy it, a gap will appear in Kumogakure's defenses. The Fourth Raikage will not stand idly by. He will definitely use the Heavenly Delivery Technique to personally arrive and provide support as quickly as possible. That's why Kumogakure only left four Chunin here!"
"Should we still carry out this mission?" At this moment, everyone except Kai was somewhat troubled.
"So what if he's the Fourth Raikage? Captain, you leave him to me, you guys go blow up the area below!" As Kai spoke, he jumped up and attacked with both hands, his moves swift and fierce.
"Guy, don't be impulsive!" Kakashi quickly stopped Guy when he saw that Guy actually wanted to fight the Fourth Raikage.
