Konoha's Way of Death

If one can be sure, he is a ninja at his core.

Although saying this is a bit too serious, he can be sure that these guys are here to "solve" him.

He had long known that the guy named Shimura Danzo would not let him go. He originally thought that after he arrived at the border, he would send root ninjas to communicate with a certain hostile force and then target him.

But he didn't expect that this guy couldn't bear it for a while, and actually sent people to attack him as soon as he left Konoha.

In other words, that guy has been waiting for him here for a long time.

Whether it is to take him back to brainwash or use him for scientific research, or to kill him directly, Shimura Danzo cannot wait for a quarter of an hour.

In the village, he would still be afraid to take action. After all, except for the Sandaime Hokage, Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya were still in the village at that time.

Although Jiraiya had long been clamoring to leave the village to find a way to make the ninja world peaceful for a long time, the Sandaime did not agree.

Perhaps knowing the weaknesses of his character, if Jiraiya was not around, he thought he might let his old friend go, even if this guy had done something irreversible.

One minute after the fireworks exploded, Hatake Sakumo rushed over.

Although there are countless shortcomings in the ninja world, at least there is nothing to say about speed, especially the speed of support when no one is blocking it.

The double images in front of Ruoren finally merged together. At this moment, his vision was completely restored, so he took the initiative to exit the critical state.

As soon as he regained control of his body, he stumbled and almost fell.

He followed the pain downwards and saw a kunai nailed to his thigh.

The kunai penetrated very deep, and although it didn't hurt any muscles or bones, it almost pierced his entire thigh.

"Hiss, it really hurts, but the critical state is really the best choice to save your life or fight for your life. Before you don't have the foundation to save your life, it can be said to be the only choice."

He had completely handed over the control of his body to his body before, while his spirit and consciousness were completely outside, especially since his mental power was only the supplier of chakra.

So using his cat-like reflexes, he finally escaped.

Actively exploiting criticality and abandoning consciousness altogether are two different things.

He could have used his consciousness to dominate, but this would increase the number of programs in his body, and if he retained his consciousness, his speed and reaction would only be three times the normal level.

The unconscious state can reach about seven times.

He hesitated for a moment after losing his vision, but in the end he made a choice and chose to trust his body.

Sure enough, his bet was right. Even if he was injured, his body even blocked the pain at that moment in order to prevent the pain from hindering his mobility.

Hatake Sakumo led the other ninjas and felt that they did not immediately care about the four people. Instead, they sent all the ninjas out with a wave of their hands to explore and alert the surroundings.

He looked at the four people and asked the medical ninja to help treat their wounds. Although almost all of them had injuries, they were not life-threatening, so he frowned and looked at Ruo Ren.

While receiving treatment from the medical ninja, Wakato saw Sakumo's eyes and said clearly: "The people at the root, I saw their attire the moment they retreated."

Hatake Sakumo frowned. Although he already believed Wakato's words in his heart, he could not open his mouth to confirm this matter when there were Konoha ninjas around.

After all, the roots also belong to Konoha. As long as they do not threaten the survival of the village, he can only choose to tolerate them, even if he has lost all trust in those guys.

So he said: "Things without evidence can only be speculation after all. If the enemy disguises themselves as their identities, it will disrupt the stability of the village."

If someone didn't forcefully explain it, he understood the truth and was just telling the truth to Hatake Sakumo.

As for other ninjas, he had never interacted with them to be honest, and he couldn't completely trust them.

After a while, the ninjas retreated.

"Sir Sakumo-sama, there is no trace of the enemy. We have not been able to find their whereabouts."

"After investigating the surroundings, it can be concluded that they came well prepared. They found many traces of traps around them, but they were erased. They should have been erased conveniently when the enemy retreated."

Hatake Sakumo nodded. He had long known that it was impossible to catch those guys, unless there was a more dangerous trap waiting for them and deliberately sent people to lure them.

After all, he was Danzo Shimura's subordinate, and he had no doubts about using human life to lure them into a trap, even if the human life was his subordinate, a ninja of the village.

"Retreating so quickly, obviously the order is: retreat with one strike, no matter the result. Are they using the abnormality here to lure you?" Hatake Sakumo picked up the sphere that fell in the pit, and the flash bomb on it had already been It has lost its effectiveness, but it has also exerted its effectiveness.

Ruoren nodded and said: "If there are traps around, even if we ignore this place, they will take action forcefully. Logically speaking, if this is the case, they should be prepared."

At this time, Shinnosuke bandaged his wounds and joined the discussion.

"If the enemy's target is one of us, then there are two situations. The exploration team is necessary, so if the target is in the exploration team, then some people should stop the large force, and the other part should encircle and suppress the target. Another situation is that if the target is not in the exploration team, then everyone will ambush here and attack indiscriminately."

Hatake Sakumo nodded and said: "When you were sending the signal just now, someone came over to stop us from supporting us. They used ninjutsu to cover them indiscriminately. They did not seek to hurt anyone, just to stop us for a moment."

"Yes, if Lord Sakumo hadn't used all his strength to break through all the ninjutsu with his white teeth, maybe you would have been in danger." At this time, a jounin sighed and couldn't help but glance at Hatake Sakumo. Obviously Sakumo Mao's full strength attack prevented him from calming down.

"Okay, since almost all of you are injured, then choose another person to conduct the exploration operation, and you will wait for your injuries to recover." Hatake Sakumo gave an order to several people.

Then he looked at the Jonin next to him who had just spoken, and said: "Moonlight Hanfeng, as the captain, you will select the team members for the exploration mission."

The jounin named Moonlight Hanfeng nodded, and then selected two chuunin who had experienced hundreds of battles. Then he said to the old man beside him sheepishly: "Although I have just experienced a battle, I still want to trouble Gu. Introducing you, senior."

If one listens to this title and candidate, one will know that this Jonin Yueguang Hanfeng obviously knows the true strength of Mr. Kosuke.

He looked curiously and found that among the four Shinnosuke and Kakashi, including him, only the old man was safe and sound, and all three of them were more or less injured.

After treatment by the medical ninja, their injuries were almost healed, but they had to guard against the enemy after all, so the medical ninja would not waste chakra to completely cure the person until there was a fatal crisis.

They need to retain the most chakra to prevent someone from getting into a life or death crisis.

But even so, their injuries will not affect their actions, and they will even fully recover after two days.

The troops marched again, with Yueguang Hanfeng leading a small team to explore the way, while Ruoren and the others were mixed in the middle of the team.

If one glanced at Sarutobi Shinnosuke, he would suddenly think of the "Darkness of Konoha" in his heart.

"Even the son of the Sandaime Hokage, Uncle Sarutobi, can take action without warning, just for his own benefit. This guy is really ruthless."

At this moment, Shinnosuke came to him and slapped him hard on the shoulder.

Ruoren looked at him in confusion and saw this guy gnashing his teeth and whispering: "During the battle just now, I originally used Fire Release. Unexpectedly, it didn't last long and was extinguished by a certain guy's Water Release. Otherwise, I won’t be hurt by someone looking for a flaw!”

Ruoren was stunned for a moment, and then said with the same hatred: "Kakashi, this guy is too much. Brother Shinnosuke, you are too kind. If it were me, I would beat him up."

Shinnosuke looked at this shameless guy and was stunned.

Kakashi touched his shoulder. He was also attacked by some kind of wind release ninjutsu without any vision.

If he hadn't reacted quickly when he heard the wind, his shoulder might have been penetrated.

He thought about what Ruoren had just said, thoughtfully, and then smiled.

Yes, you have to give him a beating to vent the frustration in your heart, right?

After that anticlimactic but dangerous attack, they did not encounter any more dangers along the way.

Along the way, the forest became sparser as we went further.

Finally, two days later, they reached the border.

I thought that the vegetation here would be greatly reduced, but unexpectedly, contrary to common sense, there was an extremely vast forest.

"This is the border, but it's not the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. The border is about five kilometers away from here. Under normal circumstances, large troops will be stationed here, and some ninjas will go to the border to take turns on duty. "

Seeing Wakato and Kakashi looking at the camp with curious expressions, Shinnosuke explained.

Kakashi nodded, and then asked: "Senior Shinnosuke, what's going on here? The vegetation is getting less and less along the way, but it's so lush here."

Kakashi asked Wakato's doubts, so he also looked at Shinnosuke curiously.

Shinnosuke smiled slightly: "This is the work of our ninja god, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

After saying this, he said hello and let the two of them get acquainted with each other before he went back to the camp.

Hatake Sakumo was new, but he became the supreme commander here the moment he arrived.

As a jounin, he needed to go and take orders.

"Want to go see the border?" Kakashi asked.

Ruoren shook his head and said, "Let's have a good rest today. We have to stay here for three years, so we have plenty of time to get familiar with each other."
