Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the calm-faced Kazekage, and the pressure in his heart eased a lot.
'This place is good, very deceptive. If we are attacked later, it will be a good choice for escape.'
'There is a hidden underground cave here, a good place to hide.'
'This terrain is too flat, the field of vision is relatively ample, when escaping... during a strategic withdrawal, be sure to avoid this direction.'
Little did Shizune know that the steady Kazekage in her eyes was dozens of times steadier than she imagined, and before even encountering an attack, he had already begun planning a strategic retreat route.
After a rough estimate, he already had at least twenty relatively mature routes in his mind.
One word.
Steady.
"We're about to arrive at the Mist Forest Outpost, everyone be on high alert!" George Kaya's voice reached everyone's ears.
The crowd perked up.
In the distance, through the hazy mist, they vaguely saw a dark shadow that stood out above the height of the forest.
Mist Forest Outpost.
As they approached, the vigilance of the group reached its peak.
The mission was to investigate possible disturbances outside the Mist Forest Outpost, and they could encounter Sand ninja at any time.
Although Konoha and Sand were tacitly avoiding large-scale clashes, small-scale frictions like this happened almost every day, and Konoha ninjas died every day.
This resulted in the fact that without accurate coordinates, even Konoha's corpse collectors could not bring back the bodies, let alone the possibility of encountering attacks at any time.
Fortunately, when the ancient and dilapidated building of the Mist Forest Outpost clearly appeared in everyone's sight, they did not encounter any attacks.
The deep gray building covered with moss was said to have been built during the Warring States period.
As long as the personnel are properly arranged and familiar enough with the Mist Forest, a small number of special combat personnel can rely on the geographical advantages of the Mist Forest to keep a large number of invading ninjas out of the Mist Forest.
Therefore, this place is of great strategic importance.
In addition, the suppression of the Sand ninjas' Sand Manipulation Technique made it a must-contend place for Konoha and Sand Village during the Second Ninja World War.
Seeing the Mist Forest Outpost, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Kazekage looked at the quiet outpost, narrowed his eyes, took Shizune's hand, and slowly retreated a few steps.
Shizune felt the warmth of his palm, a blush appeared on her face, and she looked at Kazekage in surprise.
But she only saw a somewhat solemn face.
Just as she was a little at a loss.
Aburame Shinji's expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out, "Something's wrong!"
In his perception, the Parasitic Insects he sent out began to die on a large scale.
Hearing his words, George Kaya and the others did not doubt it at all and quickly retreated.
Even before them, Kazekage had already pulled Shizune to the farthest place, and threw out a scroll in the blind spot of everyone's sight.
The next moment.
Two teams of ninjas flashed out of the Mist Forest Outpost.
George Kaya, who had found an obstacle to hide his figure, frowned.
Because he saw that these two teams of ninjas were wearing different headbands.
"Sand ninja and Rain ninja!" Kazekage also saw this scene and said in a deep voice.
Shizune covered her mouth.
Even if she didn't understand war, she had been with Tsunade for a long time, and she understood what it meant for Sand ninjas and Rain ninjas to appear here at the same time and stand together harmoniously.
The long-silent Rain Village had finally made a decision.
Standing on the side of the Sand ninjas.
Or rather, standing on the side of everyone who launched a war against Konoha.
Hanzo is an ambitious person, which is obvious.
He wholeheartedly wanted to develop Rain Country and Rain Village to the point where they could rival the five major countries and five major hidden villages. The defeat in the Second Ninja World War made him understand that he could not change the embarrassing situation of Rain Village by his own strength alone. Only by uniting other forces could Rain Village have a chance.
Therefore, this time he seized the opportunity and set his sights on the Land of Fire, which had the most fertile and richest land.
"The people of Konoha are here, six ninjas, one Jonin."
The captain of the Rain ninja side narrowed his eyes, scanned the vicinity of the Mist Forest Outpost, and said the situation lightly.
The Sand ninjas did not have an advantage in the Rain Country, but as Rain ninjas growing up in the Rain Country, they were very familiar with the environment here, and it was precisely because of their leadership in the surprise attack on the Mist Forest Outpost that led to the fall of Konoha's garrison.
The person in charge of the Sand ninja side this time was an elite Jonin with gorgeous orange hair and a delicate appearance, Scorch Style Pakura!
She just waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "The cooperation between the Sand ninjas and the Rain ninjas cannot be known to Konoha for the time being, leave no one alive!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Sand ninjas and Rain ninjas around her almost rushed out at the same time.
Divided into two groups, they immediately surrounded Kazekage and others in the hiding place.
Kazekage looked at George Kaya not far away, "Jonin Kaya!"
George Kaya's expression was solemn, and he reached out and made several gestures. His three subordinates immediately understood and carried out their combat plan.
At the same time, George Kaya also rushed out directly, choosing not to sit still and wait for death.
When his figure disappeared, he left Kazekage and Shizune with a sentence, "Protect yourselves and send the information you see back."
Hearing this, Kazekage no longer hesitated, took Shizune's hand and retreated to the rear.
George Kaya's team cooperated tacitly, they didn't need to worry about their situation, and they didn't have the strength to worry about it, all they had to do now was one thing...
Strategic withdrawal!
Pakura stared coldly at the direction the two were leaving.
"Chase!"
Immediately, two Sand ninjas gave up the siege of George Kaya and the other three, and rushed towards Kazekage and the two.
