Chapter 225: Battle with the Kirigakure Anbu
"Clan Head, this side has the fewest people. We've already confirmed that," the young man reported, standing beside the Clan Head.
The Yuki Clan members were gathered nearby, each concealing their forms carefully. They weren't far apart, knowing that breaking out separately would only lower their chances of success.
"Good. Listen to my command," the Clan Head said, giving a hand signal before moving forward.
Before long, they spotted several Kirigakure Anbu carefully searching the area. Their low voices occasionally carried through the forest as they exchanged a few words.
As they waited, more and more Anbu appeared, gradually closing in on their position.
"One, two, three... fifteen," the Clan Head counted, finishing his assessment. Fifteen Anbu were now in sight.
Minato had been fortunate to capture one alone earlier. If the Anbu had been in a group like this, it would have led to an immediate confrontation. However, the absence of the captured Anbu would eventually raise suspicion.
"Fifteen," the Clan Head muttered to himself. "And there are only a dozen of us, several of whom are injured. Even in the direction with the fewest Anbu, it's hard to say if we'll succeed in breaking out."
"This is our only chance," the young man urged. "At this rate, we'll be discovered in less than a day."
"Go," the Clan Head ordered, wasting no time. With a wave of his hand, the Yuki Clan charged toward the Kirigakure Anbu.
"Ice Release: Ice Senbon!"
