Chapter 160: Mangas Are All Lies

Chapter 160: Mangas Are All Lies.

There was no conversation along the way after that. The two traveled day and night to the front-line camp.

However, unlike the last time Kaito came to the front line, Fuku had no intention of reporting to the headquarters.

Instead, he took Kaito and walked around to an inconspicuous tent on the side of the camp with ease.

When the tent curtain was opened, all the members of Team Fuku were resting inside.

But it may be due to the need to maintain the style of Anbu.

When Kaito came in and took a quick look, it seemed that this group of people were just posing here.

'This is not a good habit. Groups that like to pose don't last long.'

Kaito silently complained about the group of pretentious people in Kirigakure in his heart.

Of course, after seeing Fuku coming in, all the team members stopped what they were doing and greeted him.

"Squad Captain."

"Captain, you're here."

Fuku just nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked over to the Anbu who was temporarily in charge of handling the affairs of the squad after the death of the previous "Acting Captain" to take over.

'Isn't he Harpoon? Has he become the acting squad captain?'

Kaito smiled secretly in his heart, always feeling that Harpoon was the guy who really seemed like he could survive to the end.

'Should I observe and learn from him?'

After teasing this acquaintance casually in his mind, Kaito turned around and looked at the other members in the tent.

The number of people was indeed much smaller than that seen in the village.

'Are they on a mission? Or...dead?'

Kaito was only slightly confused, but he was not sad about the deaths of his teammates.

Since joining the Anbu, the only contact that Kaito had with most members of Fuku Squad was a greeting in the locker room when they reported in in the morning.

Besides, the overall atmosphere of the Anbu is here.

These people are more like ordinary "colleagues" than companions or teammates.

Kaito simply walked into the tent and greeted the two people he was more familiar with.

"Shou, it's been a while."

"Doctor Lu, long time no see."

When Hoshigaki Kisame saw Kaito greeting him, he also showed his sharp teeth and responded with a smile.

Kaito nodded, walked straight to Kisame, and turned to look at the other person next to him.

"Hey Spider, are you still alive?"

The spider was obviously not as enthusiastic as Kisame. Just hearing Kaito's voice, his arm began to ache.

He glared at Kaito with an unpleasant expression, but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head and put his Spider-Man mask on his face.

"Tsk~ stingy."

Kaito saw that Spider ignored him and did not continue to chase it to cause trouble.

As for the other person's arm pain?

That's definitely not a problem with my treatment skills.

Seeing that no one else paid much attention to him, Kaito simply pulled Kisame aside and asked about the status of the mission.

But he hasn't said a word yet.

After communicating with Harpoon, Fuku stood in the middle of the tent.

He clapped his hands lightly to attract everyone's attention.

"The task that Third Mizukage-sama has assigned to us now is still to cooperate with the front line to gather intelligence."

"Silver, you and Eel stay in the camp and wait."

"Yes." x2

"Harpoon, you take Shou and Lu as a team. Hana, you take Spider and Tea as a team."

"You two teams are responsible for the intelligence of the logistics routes in the southwest of Konohagakure's front line. Konohagakure has withdrawn a lot of troops from the Land of Wind recently. You can go deeper and pay more attention to whether they have any signs of sending reinforcements here."

"Yes."

Harpoon and another female ANBU code named Hana nodded at the same time to accept the task, and walked to Kaito and others.

"The rest of you, join me in exploring the area surrounding the Konohagakure camp in the west."

"Remember that you are ANBU. You must remain hidden unless necessary and complete your mission of collecting intelligence."

"Understood!" xN

"Everyone, get going."

Kaito, who had just arrived at the front-line camp after two days of travel and had not sat down for ten minutes, glanced at the people who had been resting for an unknown period of time but were definitely full of energy.

He glanced at Fuku with resentful eyes.

'I haven't rested yet!!'

Six days later.

Kaito was lying on a cliff, bored, staring at the deserted path below.

This should be considered a relatively important node in Konohagakure's front-line logistics.

However, the fighting on the front line was not intense, so naturally there would not be people transporting supplies every day.

Konohagakure's logistics were now relaxed, but it was hard for Kaito and the other two.

After parting with Team Hana, the three of them basically followed Konohagakure's logistics transportation line and carefully moved towards enemies hometown Konohagakure Village.

There will be Konohagakure outposts stationed from time to time along the way, so the three of them cannot march in a high-profile manner.

Even when resting and replenishing supplies, they mainly ate cold meals such as Military Ration Pills to avoid exposing their whereabouts.

Until these two days, the three of them were already very close to the Konohagakure Village headquarters.

Harpoon then decided to stop and observe the scale of the latest material transportation and do some basic intelligence gathering.

"As expected, mangas are all lies!"

Kaito, who was exhausted from the journey, was too tired to complain when looking at the huge bag beside him.

The three of them were in such a state now, how could they still have the cool and graceful spirit of the Anbu ninjas jumping high and low?

The imagined actions of the Anbu: traveling light and simply, in the pitch-black night, countless Anbu suddenly appear in an instant, kill the rebel ninja cleanly and efficiently, and then retreat quietly and gracefully.

The real-life Anbu: carrying huge packages of supplies, several people sneaked forward behind enemy lines, fearfully, without being able to take a shower for more than ten days, and they might not even be able to see the enemy's shadow.

Although all three of them are equipped with a small number of sealing scrolls.

However, such valuable items can only be used to seal a small number of key items or enemy corpses with intelligence value. They will not be used easily, let alone used to store supplies.

Kaito had previously suggested to Harpoon whether he should use his flying ability to conduct aerial reconnaissance, which could also save a lot of time.

After all, Fuku did not assign Kaito to the team he led when dividing the groups. Presumably, he also wanted to have ninjas with flying abilities in both directions.

However, perhaps due to concerns about concealment, Harpoon rejected the proposal.

Kaito looked up at the scorching sun and realized that the morning had passed quietly.

'We don't know when the next logistics shipment will arrive. We won't just wait for more than ten days, will we?'

Just as Kaito was thinking this, Kisame, who had just rested in the back, came forward, patted Kaito on the shoulder, and came to take over the shift.

It was just when Kaito had just stood up and was about to retreat to the shade to rest.

But he saw Harpoon, who was supposed to be resting and waiting to take over the surveillance work behind Kisame, walking over quickly.

"What happened?"

Kaito immediately restrained their previous lazy mood and looked at Harpoon with serious expressions.

"Intelligence coming from the rear, there is an urgent mission!"
