Chapter 142: Reinforcements!!!!!!
Mikawa's team, who had a dark expressions on their face, moved forward without saying a word. They were so fast that they even gave up on resting time. It was not because they were worried that the enemy would catch up, nor was it because they wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible.
Instead, they wanted to spread the information as soon as possible. Perhaps, Aoba still had a chance to be saved!
"Stop!"
Following Mikawa's alert command, Mikawa's high-speed advance immediately nailed to the spot and then made a defensive posture.
Then, rustling sounds suddenly came from the front.
Shua!
Several figures quickly surrounded Mikawa's class, and many fallen leaves swayed.
Mikawa's heart tightened at first, but when he saw the familiar face, he immediately cried out in alarm, "Iwata?!"
"Mikawa? Is it you? Didn't you go back to the village to take the graduation class?"
"Put away your weapons. It's one of us!"
Because Mikawa and Iwata were old acquaintances and had once fought side by side, a misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
Hearing Iwata's question, Mikawa smiled bitterly and said, "Because the village is short of manpower, Hokage-sama gave us an urgent mission to escort a batch of weapons and supplies to you. But I did not expect to be attacked by a large number of Kumogakure Ninjas before we even got close to the border. One of my disciples discovered the enemy's movements in advance, so he took the initiative to lure the enemy away. Now it is unknown whether he is alive or dead!"
"Did the front line collapse? Why are there so many enemies passing through the border defense line?" This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
After Iwata heard Mikawa's question, his face instantly became extremely ugly. However, it was not because of Mikawa's attitude but because of the dereliction of duty at the front line!
"A few days ago, a certain line of defense at the border suddenly lost contact. When we arrived, there was no one alive there. And what was even more strange was that there was no sound or signal."
"Although we had already sent people over as fast as we could after sensing the abnormality, it also allowed the enemy's large number of ninjas to take advantage of the loophole!"
"Then, we reported this matter to the village. At the same time, we sent a search team to search for it. However, in the past few days, Kumogakure seemed to use explosives and kept attacking, making it impossible for the front line to mobilize too many people to encircle the enemy team that sneaked into the hinterland."
"So this is our dereliction of duty. But don't worry, those who die will not be sacrificed for nothing. These people will all be buried together!"
When he finished speaking, Iwata's eyes were filled with killing intent!
"I... I'm sorry!"
"So please, Iwata! Help me take care of them. I want to go back and take a look."
Of course, they were referring to Itachi and Gekkou Hayate. Even if Mikawa wanted to go back and risk his life, he couldn't bring his disciples to their deaths.
This was the final realization of a Sensei!
Iwata, who saw the determination in Mikawa's eyes, was silent for a moment before sighing, "You are still as stubborn as ever, but I can't agree to this request of yours."
"Why!"
"Because... I am going to go with you!"
Mikawa widened his eyes in confusion.
At this time, Iwata Tian explained, "Although we are only a search team, we can still find a lot of teams like us. As long as we can gather this force together, even if we meet the enemy, we can still fight!"
"What's more, our mission is to confirm the traces of these enemies. This is not going against the order."
"You... I can't just watch you die! And you alone, even if a miracle really happens, what can you do?"
Mikawa suddenly felt his chest heat up, and his eyes were a little moist. "Good brother! If we can go back alive this time, I will treat you to a drink!"
"Haha, drinking alone is not enough, you understand ---"
"What kind of pervert are you? You haven't changed this habit yet!"
"There's nothing we can do. Who told the frontline to be so intense? And all of them are stinky men! We can't always rely on our hands to solve this problem, right?" Iwata felt very wronged. At the same time, he also came over and said.
"Get lost! I don't have such a disgusting friend like you!"
"Didn't you just now call me brother? But now you don't recognize me? I don't care. I will risk my life to help you save people. When you get back to the village, you must arrange me well! And one is not enough; at least three!"
Mikawa immediately said in a bad mood, "Don't talk nonsense. Let's go! If we can really save him, let alone three, even thirty of them will be my treat!"
"Alright, it's a deal then!"
