Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

Chapter 64 Will squeezing me together kill the Iwa ninja?

Sarutobi Miyagi was unable to move, watching Mitarashi Anko and Dokuro Kyou stop Uchiha Ryo. Cold sweat seeped from his shivering body.

He didn't die at the hands of the Iwa ninja, but did he almost die at the hands of Uchiha Ryo?

If Uchiha Ryo had discovered him alone, would he have killed him outright to eliminate a rival?

Fortunately, he saw that instead of shaking off his two teammates with a simple shrug, Uchiha Rin obediently took a step back.

Mitarashi Anko stepped forward, took out her medical kit, and began treating Sarutobi Miyagi's injuries.

Sarutobi Miyagi had two knife wounds, neither of which were fatal, but he was hit on the back by an earth-style attack, which injured his internal organs and rendered him unable to move.

This injury is too severe.

Mitarashi Anko treated the knife wound, but she couldn't treat the internal injuries.

She turned to Ling and asked, "Ling, should we send Sarutobi Miyagi to find a medical ninja first?"

Uchiha Ryo said, "You are the captain. You decide whether the three of you will carry out the defense zone mission together, or whether one or two people will be sent to escort him. I don't care."

Of course, I hope I can escort Sarutobi Miyagi to the rear alone. You know, I'm a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.

Du Lejiong chuckled, finding Uchiha Rin's joke too lame.

Hongdou woke up with a start. Yes, their team had an important mission. Between the mission and their companions, they should undoubtedly choose the mission.

With the White Fang of Konoha leading the way, no Konoha ninja dares to abandon a mission in the name of rescuing a teammate.

If she leads her team to complete a mission for the first time and leaves behind a stain of abandoning the mission, wouldn't she be just like the White Fang of Konoha?

She told Du Lejiong, "Fire a signal flare and request the second-line support squadron. If they can see it, let them take Sarutobi Miyagi away."

Du Lejiong agreed, knowing in his heart that if the second-line support squadron wasn't nearby, they probably wouldn't see the signal flare.

I can only wish Sarutobi Miyagi good luck.

The worst-case scenario is that after five days, a new squad arrives to relieve them, and their squad takes Sarutobi Miyagi back to camp.

Uchiha Ryo examined the two corpses and removed their ninja headbands. The headbands had ninja numbers engraved on the back, serving as proof of their deaths.

After the headband is returned to the village, it will be buried behind the memorial stone and placed in the cenotaph behind the tombstone.

Most Konoha ninjas' gravestones don't have corpses behind them; having a headband is considered quite good.

As for the body, drag it out and find a place to bury it.

This tree hollow became the place where Sarutobi Miyagi recuperated from his injuries.

Seeing the three leave behind water and ration pills before departing the cave to patrol the defense zone, Sarutobi Miyagi breathed a sigh of relief.

The tasks in the defense zone are extremely tedious.

The forests of the Land of Fire are dense, and looking up, you can see narrow gaps between the tree canopies.

This phenomenon is called canopy shyness, where the tops of the canopies of adjacent trees do not touch each other, leaving clear gaps between them, forming interlocking, hollowed-out gaps that resemble cracks.

A few rays of light pierced through the gaps in the tree canopy, and in many places, especially near the bushes, it was as dark as dusk.

Over a 10-kilometer stretch, the three of them set up ten wire-trigger explosive tag traps, hoping these traps would be triggered first to alert them that the Iwa ninja were coming.

There are also wire kunai traps, which are very well hidden and can kill Iwa ninjas who accidentally walk into them.

After setting the traps, the next step is to patrol repeatedly.

When patrolling, it's easier if there are traps nearby. If there aren't any traps, you have to lie in wait in the bushes first, and only after confirming there are no rock ninjas can you quickly move through the bushes.

The whole process was quiet; the three of them tried their best not to make a sound.

When you patrol to the edge of the defense zone, if you're lucky, you'll encounter a squad from the neighboring defense zone. After exchanging a few words, this is the most relaxing time during the defense zone mission.

The northern defense squad only had two members left, and they wanted to borrow one more from them, but then they found out that there were three genin, so they gave up.

The southern defense zone squad is a four-person squad. Hongdou told the others that if they encounter danger, they should run south, as it is safer than going north.

By the end of the first day, they still hadn't received the second-line support team.

The second-line support squadron obviously didn't see the signal flare.

While Uchiha Ryo and the other two were not paying attention, Sarutobi Miyagi secretly took out an Akimichi secret medicine from his ninja tool pouch after his condition improved a little, suppressing the injuries to his internal organs.

But he said nothing; he just hid in the cave.

He felt that Uchiha Ryo and the other two were not good people.

None of them are good people, but Uchiha Rin seems particularly wicked.

On the third day, Sarutobi Miyagi accepted the water and ration pills handed to him by Mitarashi Anko, his eyes gleaming.

Red Bean Squad's ration pills are very precious; if they give him a few more, the others will have to eat fewer.

It's impossible to cook on this front line; the thick smoke would attract the enemy, and the food available for raw consumption has already been eaten by the first few squads.

After three days of observation, Sarutobi Miyagi has determined that they are both Orochimaru's candidates, but Mitarashi Anko is upright and honest and will not do anything to him.

The fear I felt the other day was due to stress.

Sarutobi Miyagi watched as Mitarashi Anko turned and took a few steps, then called out, "Wait a moment!"

Red Bean turned around and looked at Sarutobi Miyagi with a puzzled expression.

Sarutobi Miyagi said, "I think you've also discovered some clues. There's an Iwa ninja squadron in the Land of Waterfall."

That squadron had been patrolling the area, trying to break through Konoha's defenses.

Their goal was to strike suddenly and swiftly eliminate Konoha's defense squads, preventing them from even transmitting intelligence, thus allowing them to covertly attack the next Konoha squad.

Mitarashi Anko nodded and said, "We've scouted the previous battle traces and roughly deduced that the enemy might be a company. Thank you."

Sarutobi Miyagi continued, "That squadron is led by a special Jonin and has several experienced Chunin under his command. They are very difficult to deal with."

That special jonin is a ninjutsu-type ninja, proficient in both Earth Release and Lightning Release chakra natures.

"A ninjutsu-type ninja..." Anko thought that Uchiha Ryo was a ninjutsu-type ninja, so she wasn't too afraid.

"Okay, I'll pass this information on to the other two."

Just as Mitarashi Anko disappeared from the tree hole, an explosion suddenly occurred outside!

Sarutobi Miyagi took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and, swaying and dragging his weak body, came to the entrance of the tree hole.

Outside the tree hollow, the Iwa ninja had already surrounded the three members of the Red Bean Team!

Several shadowy figures stood on the tree trunks around them, while three Konoha genin stood back to back on the ground.

Just then, Sarutobi Miyagi heard Uchiha Ryo's voice.

"Hey! Can you two stop pushing me! Will pushing my back kill any Iwa ninja?"

Sarutobi Miyagi was taken aback. Uchiha Lingsheng was famous. It turned out that he wasn't just a bully who was afraid of the strong. This was his problem. Even in this situation, he was still putting pressure on his teammates.

Mitarashi Anko and Dokura Kyou are really something. Do they feel safe just being near Uchiha Ryo?

Four Iwa ninja suddenly leaped into the air, crashing down on the three seemingly frail Konoha genin like falling rocks from a mountain.
