I rely on myself

Chapter 118 Mission Completed
At this time, Lin Yuan was thinking about his own plan and did not notice what Sarutobi Yuichi said.

'The unnaturalness and the feeling of being spied on during the battle just now should be from Talia and the others. Since they are here, it means that the plan has been successful. The Mizunotsuki clan has been rescued from the Kirigakure. Although not all of them can be saved, they have survived. This means that Xiu can rest assured. After all, it is thanks to him that the Snow Country can get back on track so quickly.'

The reason why Lin Yuan proposed plans and dealt with enemies in this mission was just to support Talia and the others' actions.

It was previously learned that Talia and others had fallen into trouble in order to save the Mizunotsuki clan. Although Lin Yuan believed that with the strength of Talia and Tanimura Ye, they could easily overcome this predicament, it would inevitably attract more people's attention.

Because of this, Lin Yuan and his Konoha team needed to enter the Water Country to rescue intelligence personnel, so Lin Yuan guided the Konoha team to carry out the plan to divert the Kirigakure patrol, so as to open the door for Talia and the others.

And the fact turned out to be just as Lin Yuan had thought. After they diverted the Kirigakure patrol, the Anbu team successfully entered the Water Country, and Talia and her team took this opportunity to leave the Kirigakure sphere of influence without exposing their own strength too much.

"Hey, Lin Yuan, can you hear me?"

Suddenly a shout was heard. It was Sarutobi Yuichi's voice. Seeing that Lin Yuan did not respond to him for a long time, he shouted loudly to Lin Yuan again, and finally woke Lin Yuan up from his deep thought.

"Ah, sorry, I was just thinking about something. Any questions, Captain?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's question, Sarutobi Yuichi couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression.

"Really Lin Yuan, we are still on a mission... Let me ask you, do you have any suggestions for our next move?"

Although he felt helpless about Lin Yuan's distraction, Sarutobi Yuichi still asked Lin Yuan for his opinion on the next course of action, and the rest of the team also turned their inquiring eyes to Lin Yuan.

After all, everything that happened before was just as Lin Yuan had planned, so now everyone in the team has great confidence in Lin Yuan’s plan, and they all hope that Lin Yuan will find a way to ensure the team’s survival in the upcoming Mist Hidden Chase.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel speechless about this.

"What good suggestions do I have? If it weren't for protecting Talia and the others, I wouldn't have proposed any plans. But now I'm in a dilemma. After all, the previous plans were all proposed by me. If I don't say something now, it will be a bit suspicious. In addition, I still need the identity of Konoha Ninja now, so I'll just give some suggestions."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan made a decision and put forward some suggestions for the next actions.

In the following time, Lin Yuan and his team appeared in the sight of the Kirigakure patrol from time to time. If the number of enemies was small, they would take the initiative to attack and eliminate them. If the number of enemies was large, they would find ways to avoid them.

From time to time, he would try to sneak into the Water Country, but would give up after being discovered by the Kirigakure. With these actions, he managed to firmly grasp the attention of the Kirigakure.

Of course, Kirigakure had thought about concentrating its forces to destroy this team, but because Lin Yuan and the others had prepared a corresponding escape plan in advance every time they appeared, they left safely every time.

Three days passed like this, and Lin Yuan and others once again escaped from the encirclement of Wuyin. However, this time the encirclement was an unexpected encounter and they were not prepared in advance, so although everyone was safe, they all suffered losses.

Sarutobi Yuichi and Oi Takeo were both slightly injured, and their fighting ability was somewhat reduced. In order to quickly get the ship away, Hatta Eiichi used a large number of water-style ninjutsu, which caused his own chakra to be severely depleted and he fell into a coma.

In order to support his teammates, Sosuke Aburame suffered heavy casualties among his own insects, and his combat effectiveness was also reduced to a certain extent.

Lin Yuan was not seriously injured, except that he consumed a little too much chakra. However, no one had any problem with this. After all, in the previous battle, it was Lin Yuan who displayed his strength and killed the strong men of Mist Hidden One after another.

It is precisely because of this that there was a flaw in Kirigakure's encirclement this time, allowing this team to escape, but there is only one such opportunity. Next time, Kirigakure will definitely take this into account and make better preparations.

Everyone in the team understood that Kirigakure had completely figured out their situation. If they were surrounded by Kirigakure again, they would never be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Oi Takeo couldn't help but ask: "Captain, this won't work. Except for Lin Yuan, everyone else in our team has more or less reduced their combat effectiveness for some reason. This won't be good."

How could Sarutobi Yuichi not know what Oi Takeo said, but now the Anbu had not sent back any intelligence, which meant that the Anbu had not yet rescued the intelligence personnel, so he and his men could not retreat at all.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Yuichi couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan. After all, it was because of Lin Yuan's many suggestions that the team has not suffered any casualties.

Lin Yuan responded, "Don't look at me, Captain. I don't have any good solution for this situation. After all, this is purely a matter of strength. Even my previous suggestions can only make up for some of the gap in combat power. But it still depends on the strength of our team. So I don't have any solution now."

This is Lin Yuan's true words. After all, the current situation cannot be compensated by any simple plan. It is a pure gap in hard power. Even if there is a strategy that can defeat a hundred people alone, it still requires the hard power of one to do it.

But now Lin Yuan and others don’t even have that one. When everyone in the team heard that Lin Yuan had no solution, they all fell into a depressed state.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan was helpless. After all, although they had gotten along very well during this period, Lin Yuan did not want to reveal his true strength so soon. The most he could do was to provide secret support without exposing himself, nothing more.

"However, after such a long delay, there should be some information from the Anbu, right?"

As if in response to Lin Yuan's guess, Sarutobi Yuichi suddenly felt some movement in his ninja tool bag, which immediately perked him up. He thought of a possibility and quickly reached out to take out a small scroll.

When everyone saw this, they immediately understood what was going on and looked at Sarutobi Yuichi expectantly.

Sarutobi Yuichi did not hesitate at all. He immediately opened the scroll and placed it on the ground. At the same time, he formed a complicated seal with his hands. Suddenly, a puff of smoke burst out from the scroll, which then dissipated. Suddenly, a few lines of text appeared on the scroll. The content was:
'The intelligence personnel have been rescued, the mission has been completed, please rendezvous at the designated coordinates.'

This was followed by a string of numbers, which were the coordinates of the meeting point.
