Chapter 132: Dangerous Area!
Chapter 132: Dangerous Area!
The effect that Lv.5 [Poor Quality Self Healing Body]could exert was already very impressive. After all, each level up will double the self-healing speed, and when it is LV0, it will have its own doubled effect.
Therefore, at this moment, Aoba's injuries were healing at a speed that was six times faster!
In other words, he only needed about a day to recover from the injuries that could only be healed in a week.
However, this was not without a price because increasing the speed of recovery required a large amount of physical strength.
Under normal circumstances, Aoba would choose to eat more to replenish his physical strength.
However, the rations they brought were limited, and the military ration pills could only temporarily prevent you from feeling hungry and not really be used as food to replenish your physical strength.
In addition, they were not clear about the situation outside, so it was risky to go out and find something to eat.
After persisting for an entire day and night, Aoba, who felt he couldn't continue like this, finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
He had already eaten up all of his rations. As for Itachi and the others, they took the initiative to give him some, but he rejected them.
After all, no one knew how many more days they would need to persevere. If he ate all of the food, what would happen to others!
Another thing was that even if he ate all of it, it wouldn't solve the problem at all.
Therefore, Aoba said to Mikawa-sensei, "It is not a solution to wait like this. My 'Kekkei Genkai' can speed up the injury's recovery, but it requires a lot of food. Moreover, the situation outside may not be as bad. So I want to go out and get some food.
After listening to Aoba's reason, Mikawa suddenly hesitated.
According to his character, unless he can be 90% sure, he will not act rashly.
Moreover, before he left, he had left Konoha's special contact mark on a tree. Now, a day had passed. If Konoha's ninja saw it, he would definitely follow the mark to find them.
However, there was no movement outside. It was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy!
This was the important reason why he was unwilling to leave the cave.
As for whether the mark wasn't noticed or was destroyed by the enemy ninja, Mikawa did not dare to make a conclusion.
Compared to the safety of his life, staying here for a few more days was nothing.
Therefore, although Aoba had his reasons, Mikawa did not agree immediately!
At this moment, Gekkou Hayate also spoke up, "Mikawa-sensei, why don't you let me and Aoba go out to investigate the surrounding situation? With me there, even if I encounter an enemy, I won't be the first to be discovered. I can also grasp the information in time to avoid making a wrong judgment."
It had to be said that Gekkou Hayate's suggestion was very moving.
Moreover, his escape ability was extremely suitable for scouting!
Even if he really encountered an enemy and were discovered, with Aoba around, he would be able to retreat safely.
After all, Aoba's injuries recovered very quickly, and there was almost nothing Jonin could do to him.
Therefore, after seriously weighing the pros and cons, Mikawa said with incomparable seriousness, "You must be careful. If you find enemy traces, come back and tell me immediately."
Then Mikawa turned to look at the excited Aoba and said, "If you do that kind of dangerous thing again, I will definitely kick you out!"
"Don't worry. You don't know how steady I am usually!"
Three black lines suddenly appeared on Mikawa's forehead. You are steady? If you are steady, will you put an Explosion Talisman on your body to play with the enemy?
Do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'steady'?
Mikawa felt that he was too difficult. Forget it, don't worry about it, get out of here!
Therefore, after Aoba and Gekkou Hayate left, Mikawa immediately used Earth Release to seal the cave entrance. He really didn't want someone to see them even for a second.
In this regard, Aoba only shrugged his shoulders and let Gekkou Hayate use the escape method to open a path.
Although Mikawa-sensei seemed to have a little misunderstanding about him, no one knew better than him how 'steady' he was!
No one understands 'Flesh Escape'!
Not long after, Gekkou Hayate returned. "It's safe over there for the time being, but I found traces left behind by the beasts."
Aoba's eyes immediately lit up. "I'll go over there to get some food back. You continue to investigate the surroundings. If there's anything, come find me directly."
"Good!"
Gekkou Hayate agreed very quickly. After all, although Aoba was injured, it would be easy for him to deal with a few wild beasts. Moreover, with the way he attacked, there would be no blood smell. This division of work was very suitable. After all, he could not come out for nothing.
However, they did not know that a large group of Kumogakure's ninjas had been looking for them.
After all, at that time, Mikawa was heavily injured and had left in a hurry, so he had only carelessly destroyed the traces of the scene. Along the way, it was inevitable that he would miss some out.
However, by relying on the small details that he had left behind many times to confuse the enemy, he had successfully delayed the enemy for an entire day, preventing the enemy from catching up immediately.
This was enough to prove how experienced Mikawa was!
Unfortunately, he still underestimated the other party's determination, so much so that he didn't even know he was about to be pursued by the enemy.
If there was no unexpected factor like Aoba, there was a high chance that all of them would be stuck in the cave, waiting for death!
Therefore, luck was really a bit unpredictable!
...….
Bang!
Aoba directly rushed forward and killed a lone wild boar with a punch.
Although the wild boar meat was not easy to deal with and was not tasty at all, there was nothing to be picky about in this situation.
This wild boar weighing several hundred pounds, was enough to support the consumption of his strength to recover from his injuries.
Oh, right, before that, he also caught two rabbits in passing, just enough to add food!
And just as he was about to bring the hunts back, Gekkou Hayate suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost.
Aoba was shocked, and he really forced himself not to punch directly!
However, after seeing the somber expression on this guy's face, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"I found a large number of Kumogakure ninjas over there. And looking at the route, they will soon pass through our hidden cave. Even if we inform Mikawa-sensei to leave immediately, it is already too late. What should we do?"
Although Gekkou Hayate was six years older than Aoba, he still habitually asked the other party for advice. After all, Aoba was much stronger than him.
This extremely bad news also made Aoba's face immediately become serious.
