Konoha's West Gate Official

Spring passed and autumn came, and three years passed by unknowingly. After several years of recuperation, each village gradually recovered from the disaster of the previous Ninja World War.

The initial battle caused a lot of losses to all forces, and they were in pain for a long time. However, there are always some people in the world who care about food rather than fighting, such as the bellicose Yunyin Village.

Just a few days ago, when the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was invited to the Earth Kingdom to participate in the ninja assessment, he quickly assembled an army and launched a fierce attack directly to the border of the Fire Kingdom with lightning speed!

Konoha did not expect that the other party would come up with such a move, and it was unprepared for a moment. Moreover, many ninjas were still performing tasks outside, and there was a serious shortage of manpower. They could only dispatch the garrison troops stationed in the village to rush to the border to fight.

Now that the Fourth Hokage is gone and the Sannin have long since left, it becomes a question who will preside over the battle.

After some discussion, the elders of Konoha decided to appoint Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan, as the commander-in-chief, leading thousands of ninjas to rush to the battlefield to stop Kumogakure.

At the same time, orders were issued as quickly as possible to call back the ninjas who were outside. As long as the leading troops could withstand it for half a month, the follow-up troops would be able to arrive.

However, the gap between the two sides is too big. You must know that Kumogakure has made full preparations to destroy Konoha in one fell swoop. Not only did he use more than 10,000 ninja troops, but even the Raikage also took action.

As the commander-in-chief, Uchiha Fugaku is facing great pressure. He can still hold on due to the lack of manpower, but his top-level combat power is seriously lacking and he has been suppressed all the time.

After a few days of fierce fighting, Konoha's army fell into a disadvantage...

At the same time, on a high ground not far away, several figures climbed up.

The leader was a handsome young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He stretched out his arms, looked forward and said with emotion: "Finally back!"

This person is Namikaze Simon, who returned to the Land of Fire after traveling for three years.

Behind him were two children, both of whom looked to be six or seven years old. One was tall, handsome and fair, with a quiet and gentle appearance, resembling a girl.

The other one is similar in age, but has a cold face, strange gray hair with green pupils, and two red dots between his eyebrows.

He asked: "Master Ximen, is this where you live?"

"Not yet, but it's coming soon."

Ximen replied, then his expression changed, and he forgot about the battlefield not far away.

He raised his eyebrows and said: "The animals in Yunyin Village really don't have long memories. They forget the pain after the scars are healed. It has only been a few years, but the old habits have returned."

The white-haired boy heard this and asked, "Are those ninjas your enemies?"

Ximen nodded: "That's right, it's a bit festive."

Upon hearing this, the former took a step forward without hesitation, a flash of coldness flashed across his young face, and said: "I'll kill them!"

As he spoke, he was about to run towards the battlefield, but just as he was about to move, he was slapped to the ground by Ximen.

"Okay, your small body is not big enough for them to chop. Don't go and die."

But the little boy said very stubbornly: "Even if I die, I will kill them for the adults. This is the meaning of my existence!"

At this time, the little boy on the side said: "Kimimaro, don't be impulsive. Our lives belong to adults. It would be the greatest disloyalty to die so meaninglessly."

Ximen smiled and said, "Well, Bai is smarter."

The boy named Kimimaro seemed to understand, and then stood up and said with great respect: "I'm sorry, from now on, I will not die easily without an adult's order!"

Ximen nodded, then glanced at the battlefield and said softly: "Since we have encountered it, let's stretch our muscles. After all, I am also a Jounin of Konoha."

"You two stay well, I'll come as soon as I can."

Ximen gave instructions and disappeared in a flash...

In the battlefield, Uchiha Fugaku and the Fourth Raikage struck hard, and powerful air waves swept across. With the explosion of dazzling thunder and lightning, the former was directly knocked back more than ten meters.

Raikage pushed the thunder escape mode to the extreme, and the strong muscles all over his body were splashed with lightning, and he was fierce.

He launched a relentless pursuit and contained terrifying power in every punch and kick. There was no doubt that he was more powerful than he had been a few years ago.

Although Fugaku's strength is not weak, and is close to Kage level, there is still a clear gap when facing the real Kage of Imura, and he was injured after a fierce battle for a while.

The thunder shadow punched its abdomen suddenly, knocking it away. Uchiha Fugaku spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if all the bones in his body were falling apart.

Facing such a powerful enemy, he had no advantage. Although the Sharingan could capture the opponent's lightning-fast movement, it was still difficult to withstand the terrifying attack.

Are you really going to die here today?

As soon as he thought of this, the three blood-red magatama in his eyes became even deeper. Looking at the flying lightning, a sense of determination surged in his heart.

"I can't die, at least not until Itachi grows up!"

Thinking of this, Fugaku clenched his fist tightly. He was going to fight to the death with his own life. He had to use that move if he wanted to win!

But at this critical moment of life and death, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Want to help?"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed, and then he saw Ximen's figure appearing in front of him. Looking at the somewhat familiar face, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Are you Namikaze Ximen?"

"if not?"

Ximen chuckled and replied.

While the two were talking, Raikage's attack came right in front of him, and he struck out with a heavy punch.

"Be careful, get out of the way..."

Fugaku quickly reminded him, but before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned.

At this time, Ximen stretched out his palm very calmly, and the dark armed color was attached to his arm. With a slight sway of his body, he easily blocked the thunder shadow's iron fist, and his feet did not waver even half a step.

"What did Fugaku-senpai say?"

Ximen said with a smile, as if he didn't take the powerful opponent into his eyes at all.

The attack was blocked, and Lei Ying was slightly startled. He raised his eyes and looked at the former, then his face changed, and he said in surprise: "Are you the kid from back then?"

Ximen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Long time no see, Lei Ying..."
