"A reinforced elite squad, consisting of six members, with at least one Jounin in the team, but at least two or more special Jounin, and each of the remaining members is also skilled. According to the intelligence, the leader should be Nara Shikaharu from Konoha, and the two special Jounin should be from the Akimichi clan and the Yamanaka clan respectively."
"As for that Uchiha, whose identity is temporarily unknown, possessing the Mangekyo Sharingan, the priority is to capture this person. The second priority is the Yamanaka clan ninja. The sensory ninja among the enemies is probably this person. By eliminating him, they will be like headless flies in the vast desert."
While on the way, Ishikado was sharing intelligence, and Seishui followed behind with a sealed scroll on his back, stepping on the sand with chakra under his feet.
There are quicksands in the desert, which are very dangerous, but ninjas can walk on water, so the quicksands are not much of a threat.
Before long, Seishui and his group met with Jyuichi, a Jounin.
Since Jyuichi was more familiar with the situation there, Ishikado handed over the command to him.
"Let me arrange the tactical deployment."
Jyuichi is a typical Sunagakure ninja, wearing a white and brown mixed long robe, with a cloth wrapped around his head, tall and thin, rough and dark skin.
"I will take charge of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio led by Nara Shikaharu, along with Ishikado, the Jounin. The Uchiha ninja will be handed over to the puppet brigade. Kana, you are responsible for assisting the members of the puppet brigade. The rest will form a encirclement to block the remaining Konoha ninjas, ensuring that the Uchiha can be captured successfully."
"Yes!"
The surrounding ninjas responded in unison.
"Captain, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio has been a tough nut to crack since the Warring States period. Are you and Ishikado Captain confident?" Kana, a Sunagakure ninja, asked Jyuichi.
"Haha, Kana, even if you look down on me, you can't look down on Captain Ishikado. He is not just an ordinary Jounin puppeteer." Jyuichi laughed heartily.
"Quiet, lead the way!"
"Yes!"
A female Sunagakure Chunin formed hand seals with both hands, closed her eyes, and sensed the position of the enemies.
"They are in the northwest direction!"
"Let's go!"
...
...
The configuration of the Konoha squad is high, and to obtain the bloodline of the Sharingan, Sunagakure has also put in a lot of effort.
Only two Jounin could be drawn out because most of the Jounin were on the front lines, but the rest of the ninjas were not few.
Jyuichi mobilized three border patrol teams to join the battle.
During wartime, the configuration of such a squad would be higher than in peacetime, consisting of a special Jounin with combat-related expertise and three Chunin.
Currently, in order to ensure the capture of the Uchiha, Sunagakure has deployed two Jounin, four special Jounin, and more than ten Chunin, with an average strength exceeding twice that of the opposing side.
The remaining Seishui and Scorpion are also members of the puppet brigade, with strengths different from regular Genin. Of course, this may also be to give some credit to Scorpion, the grandson of Chiyo, and incidentally to Seishui.
At least that special Jounin named Kana thought so. He believed that his task was to protect the two young masters of the puppet brigade and let them gain some credit.
And the actual development did not exceed expectations.
The strongest in the Konoha team is the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, but they were firmly suppressed by Jyuichi and Ishikado, the two Jounin.
Jyuichi's strength should not be much stronger than the Konoha Jounin, but Ishikado was significantly stronger.
He actually used the same puppet technique as Chiyo, the highest secret technique of the White Secret Technique!
Although he couldn't perfectly control ten puppets like Chiyo, and he didn't use top-level puppets like Kugutsu Juusho, he controlled five puppets draped in white robes, firmly suppressing the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
He is definitely an elite among the Jounin!
"This mission is important, but it is also a training exercise for you two."
Seeing Ye manipulating two puppets casually and attacking the Uchiha with two other special Jounin, he instructed Seishui and Scorpion.
"Seishui, Scorpion, this is a good opportunity for training. I will release two Konoha ninjas for you to practice with later."
On the other side, Kana frowned slightly, didn't say anything, but became more certain of his guess.
This is to polish the young masters while gaining experience.
In fact, the real master is only Scorpion, Seishui is just an addition.
However, Seishui is also curious about how far he can go now.
Scorpion has the same idea.
Although gifted, he has never truly fought against enemies from other villages, including the assessment he had with Seishui.
"Then I will trouble Senior Ye and Senior Kana."
Seishui nodded to the two special Jounin, then took off the sealed scroll on his back, and took out his two puppets.
With a wave of his hands, chakra threads quickly connected to the chubby puppet, turning it into countless parts enveloping himself.
The puppet of the young boy popped out its spiral mechanical claws, eager to fight.
"Damn it! Are these Sand ninjas trying to use us to train kids?"
The knife-wielding Konoha ninja who was brought in glared at Seishui and Scorpion with a dark expression.
The other Konoha ninja standing back to back with him was an ordinary-looking middle-aged ninja.
"It seems they think everything is foolproof, but Toki, don't forget what Hirano-sama said before. We must hold on! You are responsible for driving back the puppets, and I will use ninjutsu to attack their real bodies!"
The middle-aged ninja said calmly.
"What's there to fear! These two might be young geniuses from Sunagakure. If we break the net and use our lives to exchange for theirs, it's a big win! If we can return to the village alive, it's definitely a great achievement!"
In the boastful words of the knife-wielding ninja, the middle-aged ninja
The individual formed hand seals and released ninjutsu.
"Fire Style: Flame Ball!"
A massive, scorching fireball distorted the air as it surged towards Hardy and Scorpion.
"Black Secret Technique: Salamander."
Scorpion indifferently extended his five fingers, manipulating a large lizard-like puppet to shield himself and Hardy, blocking the flame ball with the shield on its back.
"This Salamander was originally prepared for you."
Scorpion said to Hardy before manipulating chakra threads to continue the attack.
"Hmm... A defensive puppet to protect the puppeteer's main body? I see it's designed to counter my previous Tomcat puppet."
Hardy, inside the Fatso puppet, sneered, multitasking by activating another puppet.
"Black Secret Technique: Little Boy."
"Black Secret Technique: White Ants."
Two figures swiftly bypassed the Salamander and charged forward.
After mastering the Black Secret Techniques, both Hardy and Scorpion had the ability to control two puppets each.
