This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

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?"

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!

At the same time, he also felt great admiration for Mikawa's disciple, whom he had never met before!

Just thinking about it, one could know how dangerous the situation Mikawa and the others had encountered at that time. However, it was under such a dangerous situation that someone actually stepped forward and lured away all the enemies by himself, buying an opportunity for the other companions to escape. More importantly, it really succeeded!

This kind of courage and sacrifice was completely worthy of being called a hero!

Mikawa really had a good disciple...

For a moment, Iwata was even a little envious.

But just as he finished speaking, Itachi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Aoba won't die. I believe in him."

When these words came out, everyone was silent!

Because until now, they probably didn't believe that Aoba could survive the pursuit of dozens of Kumogakure Ninjas. Only Itachi believed in this possibility.

They all believed that the kid who had just graduated was definitely dead!

After all, although they admired him, their reason was still there.

But no one was willing to speak up and be this evil person to pour cold water on him.

Because people who had never lost their companions would not be able to experience that kind of pain, and only time could slowly erase it.

"Mikawa-sensei, we should go back and save him."

Itachi said as he placed the huge scroll on the ground.

The meaning was very obvious!

Mikawa gritted his teeth and took out a smaller mission scroll. Then, he said, "Since we met you here, let's hand over the mission. We have already brought everything so that we won't continue forward."

Iwata was stunned for a moment. "Are you going back now? Are you crazy? Come with me! After we deal with the hidden enemies, I will send someone to escort you back!"

Mikawa knew that this was Iwata's good intention, but if he did not see Aoba's corpse with his own eyes, he would not be able to convince himself to accept this reality.

So he shook his head, looking a little free and easy. "No, since the mission has been completed, I have no reason to continue. And when I left the village, I promised them I would bring them back completely."

"I have broken my promise once, and I even have to sacrifice my own disciples to come here."

"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!"
