The strong man who came out of the fire shadow

Aoki came to the place where the team gathered in a daze. The week-long vacation was over, and Aoki had also finished his crazy sealing art learning schedule for several days.

Aoki's team also had a new mission, a three-month border inspection mission. For this reason, Aoki's newly bulging wallet shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's not just the military food pills, shurikens and other cutting tools that need to be purchased for missions.Also because of the materials Aoki purchased in the last few days in order to practice the sealing technique, if it were not for the mental space to simulate, Aoki thought he might have gone bankrupt.

Soon Aoki's Kudo team arrived.

"Aoki, are you okay? I see you are in a trance and listless." Mizuno Tetsu asked Aoki with concern.

Kudo Ryusuke and Ishigaki Ichiro also looked over.

"I'm fine. I just practiced too much recently. Just take it easy."

"Although it is important to improve your strength, you must also pay attention to your health." Kudo Ryusuke warned.

"Yes, I will." Aoki replied.

"Okay, everything is ready, let's go"

Several people started quickly in an instant and headed towards the west.The border patrol Aoki went to this time was the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Sichuan.

The Kingdom of Sichuan is a country sandwiched between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind, located in the southern part of the Kingdom of Rain.

Because it has been in chaos all year round, the people of Sichuan are brave and cunning. If you want to define the country of Sichuan, it must be chaos and disorder.

There are many black markets in the country of Sichuan, and underground forces are everywhere, smuggling prohibited items.Moreover, Kawa no Kuni may be the only country in the ninja world that does not prohibit organ trafficking.All kinds of bloody transactions were carried out blatantly in broad daylight.

Although the Kingdom of Sichuan also has great names, it is nominally under the trusteeship of the Kingdom of Rain, but in fact it is the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind that have the greatest influence on the Kingdom of Sichuan.

The intricate relationships between the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Rain, as well as the local dark forces, have also made the Kingdom of Sichuan even more chaotic.

As a buffer zone between the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind, recently many Sand Ninjas from the Country of Wind have entered the Country of Sichuan and frequently invaded the Country of Fire, so the Hokage sent additional ninjas to the border to strengthen patrols.

After the recent vigorous suppression of bandits by the Fire Nation, the territory of the Fire Nation has become much more peaceful. After two days, Aoki and others arrived at the border post very smoothly in the evening.

After handing over to his team, Aoki's team stationed at the outpost.

After a brief understanding, there are three teams in the entire outpost, including Aoki's team, and they rotate every three months, exactly one team every month.

The remaining two teams were led by jounin named Hasegawa and Takenaka jounin respectively.

After a good night's rest at the post, Aoki started patrolling the border.

The post where Aoki is located is responsible for a 50-kilometer border, which is divided into two parts, the north and the south. There are three teams in the post, one is responsible for the south, one is responsible for the north, and there is a left-behind post. The three teams take turns patrolling .

Just like this, Aoki spent his boring days patrolling the border.

Time flies, and nearly two months pass by.

……

Fire Nation Frontier

A young ninja in his twenties, wearing a tan ninja uniform and a sand ninja forehead protector, jumped back and forth quickly in the forest, with a look of fear and uneasiness on his face.

Just now, the team that the Sand Ninja was in met the Konoha Ninjas. After a battle, they were defeated by the Konoha Ninjas and fled one after another.

"Damn Konoha ninja, one day I will pay back the shame you have inflicted on me."

"Huhuhu~"

"Damn, why is it so far? It shouldn't be. Could it be that I was too injured and it affected my speed?"

Not far from this Suna Ninja, four Konoha ninjas were standing. However, the situation in the eyes of the Konoha Ninja was different from that seen in the eyes of this Suna Ninja.

There was no scene of rapid escape, just a panting and spinning sand ninja in circles.

"Aoki, your illusions are getting more and more powerful." Tetsu Mizuno said while looking at the Sand Ninja below.

"Silently, it consumes the opponent's strength, which is good." Kudo Ryusuke also praised.

"Haha, it's just that the enemy is weaker after being injured, so you can take advantage of it when the enemy is not paying attention." Aoki said with a smile.

The sand ninja under the tree was caught in Aoki's genjutsu, the fox's mind technique.

This is a technique that makes people feel like walking into a maze. It can be used on multiple people at the same time. The user will wander around unconsciously, as if being confused by a fox. Before he realizes that he has been hit by the illusion, he has already consumed a lot of energy. .

"Since the enemy doesn't have much resistance anymore, let me finish him off." Ichiro Ishigaki said next to him.

Kudo Ryusuke: "Well, just do it."

"If you don't tell me, I will do it too." Ishigaki Ichiro smiled ferociously, turned around and rushed towards the Sand Ninja under the tree.

There was no surprise in the ending. Even the Sand Ninja had his neck scratched by Ishigaki without any feeling at all.

After killing the Suna ninja, Kudo's team used a curling machine to seal the corpse away. There was a ninja at the outpost who was good at extracting intelligence. Even if it was just a corpse, he could get a lot of information from it.

Therefore, corpses are also very important information for ninjas.

Aoki has long been accustomed to seeing the scene. In the past two months at the border, such impulses have happened from time to time, especially this month. There have been three cases in less than a month.

The friction between Konoha and the Suna Ninja became more and more frequent. On the border, they often encountered the Suna Ninja Village and other ninjas. Aoki had already faintly smelled the smell of gunpowder on the eve of the war.

The border posts also increased the intensity and frequency of patrols, which also increased the chances of encounters and conflicts with Sand Ninjas, forming a vicious cycle.

After cleaning up the scene, Kudo's team returned to the outpost.
