Back in time from Naruto

The Kingdom of Sichuan is located between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, and to the north is the Kingdom of Rain, which is one of the most powerful among small countries.

Although the Kingdom of Sichuan is luckier than the Kingdom of Rain and does not have borders with the three kingdoms of wind, fire, and earth at the same time, its situation is worse than that of the Kingdom of Rain.

Kawa no Kuni is the largest among the small countries in terms of land area, but its military strength is almost negligible. There are no ninja villages in the country, and there are not even many samurai.

After all, to the east is the Fire Nation, the strongest among the five major nations, and resistance is useless.

Simply speaking, the aggressiveness of the Fire Nation has not been strong, and the Sichuan Nation has established a friendly alliance with the Fire Nation early on.

The daimyo of the Kawa Country even donated a city near the Fire Country to the Fire Country during the period of the First Hokage.

After decades of development, this small city named Platycodon City has become the economic center of the Western Region of the Country of Fire.

However, now the Platycodon City is filled with smoke, and the flag hanging on the city head has changed from "fire" to "wind".

This place has become the bridgehead for the Kingdom of Wind to invade the Kingdom of Fire. The Suna Ninja Village is continuously sending ninjas across the Kingdom of Sichuan to confront the Konoha ninjas here.

The Konoha ninja camp is in a dense forest dozens of miles away from Platycodon City.

In fact, with Konoha's strength, if the Suna Ninja village were to be attacked alone, the Suna Ninja might not be able to hold on for three days if they stormed Platycodon Castle.

But Konoha cannot carry out a forceful attack, because this important town in the west will be reduced to ruins.

More importantly, the Fire Nation civilians in the city will bear the brunt and die in this war.

What's more, the Suna ninja threatened the civilians in the city, and the Konoha ninja did not dare to attack.

The purpose of Suna Ninja is also very simple, to delay as much time as possible.

They took this opportunity to transport materials and people in the city to the Kingdom of Wind, while also contacting other countries to incite them to join the war and deal with Konoha together.

As a result, the war changed from a rapid attack to a war of attrition.

This is the disadvantage of fighting on home soil.

Therefore, it has always been the case that when two countries fight, it is the small country that suffers.

For foreign cities and civilians, there are probably too few ninjas from big countries.

Whether you kill innocent people indiscriminately or not depends entirely on your own consciousness.

Therefore, in the previous two ninja wars, Amegakure Village was in bad luck.

Of course, Konoha will not attack Platycodon Castle because they are afraid of Suna Ninja harming the civilians in the city, but they will definitely not retreat.

And when the Suna Ninja were transporting supplies and personnel back home, the Konoha Ninja also blocked the attack in batches, and gradually surrounded the enemies in Platycodon City.

At the same time, they encircled the point for reinforcements and ambush the Sand Ninja who came from the Kingdom of Wind for support.

This is because Konoha was worried about other big countries and did not use all its strength. Otherwise, it would be easy to directly pass through the Kingdom of Sichuan and counterattack into the Kingdom of Wind.

Of course, what benefits can be obtained by attacking the Kingdom of Wind, which is filled with yellow sand in the sky, that is another matter.

Anyway, we are fighting a war of attrition, and with Konoha's heritage, we are not afraid of any ninja village.

After the Suna Ninja had been in a stalemate with Konoha for a while, they gradually showed signs of decline.

So they moved dangerously and looked for opportunities to harass Konoha from the rear.

A small group of Suna ninja bypassed the Konoha ninja camp, sneaked into the heart of the Fire Country, and carried out sabotage operations internally.

They mainly burned down residential buildings, destroyed farmland, and slaughtered livestock.

The Sand Ninjas have a tacit understanding to try not to kill civilians. On the one hand, the war situation is uncertain, and on the other hand, there are many homeless refugees, which can further delay the progress of the Fire Nation.

Of course, the Suna ninjas who performed this mission also knew that if they went deep alone, once they encountered the Konoha ninjas, they would basically die, and they were lucky to die simply.

Therefore, although he tried not to kill civilians, his specific actions also depended on his mood, which caused great harm to the people in the western border of the Fire Country.

In response to this situation, the Fire Country Daimyo was extremely angry, and Konoha also responded immediately.

......

In the western border of the Fire Country, there is a valley a few hundred miles east of Platycodon City. Looking from the mountain, the valley is low-lying and winding, like a long snake, so it was named Snake Valley.

At this time, in a cave in the middle of the valley.

A group of six people were talking quietly.

"Senior Shenzhong, why don't we leave a residence to rest in the village we destroyed today? Why do we come back here immediately after every destruction?"

A young man who looked to be in his early twenties was sitting on a stone and asked the middle-aged man sitting opposite. He was wearing a forehead protector with an hourglass-shaped logo on it.

In response to the junior's question, Yamada Shinaka, who was wearing a white turban on his head, frowned slightly and said, "It's always right to be careful."

"With the strength of Shinchu-senpai and Kenji-senpai, even if we encounter the ninjas of Konoha, we can quickly eliminate them."

Another young man echoed.

"Konoha would never have thought that they thought we would not send elites to the rear to carry out sabotage, but this time we did the opposite. Under the leadership of two seniors, as long as the ninjas of Konoha dared to come, all of them would be defeated by us. "Behead"

"That's it"

Yamada Shinzhong raised his eyebrows and looked a little unhappy, but he did not refute.

This time the village wanted to catch Konoha by surprise, and specially sent him as an elite jounin to lead the team, along with his younger brother who had just been promoted to jounin, and four chuunin.

He just needs his subordinates to be obedient in this mission. As for whether his subordinates have any brains, he doesn't care. Besides his brother, he doesn't care about the lives of the remaining four people.

There is no problem in abandoning these four people when necessary.

Yamada Shinzhong had already thought about it. He would stay for two more days to destroy a few more villages. If he encountered Konoha ninjas, it would be best to kill them and then go back directly to recover.

If they had not encountered the Konoha ninja, they would have fulfilled their mission by destroying more than a dozen villages during this period.

As for continuing to go deeper, Yamada Shinzhong has not thought about it at all.

He had personally experienced the Second Ninja World War. Even those who were stronger than him died, but he was still alive. It was because of his prudence that he would never take risks except for matters within his scope.

This mission seems risky to Yamada Shinaka, but with his experience, there won't be any problems.

Unless Konoha was so mad that he sent ninjas of the Sannin level to hunt them down, he asked himself that there was no problem in escaping.

"Is it possible to send the Sannin here?" Yamada Shinzhong laughed at himself.

......

Outside the cave where Yamada Shinchu and the six of them hide, there is a small stream that runs across the entire valley, where they usually get water.

At this time, on top of a rock near the cave, an earth-yellow toad the size of a fist was lying on it. There was a thumb-sized bead around its neck, and the word "righteousness" could be vaguely written on it.

The little toad stayed for a while, and then heard a pop and jumped into the stream.

In the forest about a mile outside the valley, a group of eight people sat tightly on the grass without making any sound.

They were the seventh and eighth shifts who had been traveling for a day and a half.

"Quack quack."

An earth-yellow toad jumped near them.

Namikaze Minato, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, opened his eyes, looked at the little toad in front of him, smiled and said: "How about Toad Yi, have you found out?"
