Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

"Damn it, I'm so helpless again." Naruto punched the tree trunk next to him, his face looking terrible. Sasuke and Kazama were both among the people he trusted the most. Saving one and abandoning the other was definitely not something a simple person like Naruto could do. But reality was so cruel that he had to make a choice.

"Remember this feeling, work hard, the stronger you are, the less this world will restrict you. Let's go." Nobuko patted Naruto's shoulder and took the lead.

"Chouji, you are strong, so you will be responsible for carrying this barrel. As for the formation, use the swastika formation. Choji will be in the middle of the team, Neji will be responsible for clearing the way, and Hinata will be responsible for filling in the gaps. The others will perform their respective duties."

“Yes” everyone answered.

"Ino, is there something wrong?" Ino's frown made Sakura puzzled.

"Shikamaru, how can I help you?" Ino did not answer, but asked Shikamaru instead.

"What's the matter with Shikamaru?" The others realized belatedly.

"Nothing? I'm just thinking about how to get back as quickly as possible." Shikamaru explained casually. In fact, he was still worried. It can be seen from his arrangement of the team that his teammates can relax, but he can't. On the way back, he hoped that there would be no more problems.

The group of people were silent, each with their own thoughts.

"Be careful, there are enemies." Ningji suddenly reminded.

"Don't go any further, 500 meters ahead. There are traps and detonating tags ahead." Hinata also spoke shortly after.

Shikamaru felt bitter. It was his first time leading a team on a mission. Why was it so troublesome? "Can you confirm my identity?"

"They all wear ANBU masks, so I'm not sure of their identities, but..."

"But what? I saw the forehead protectors hidden on them. Yes, they are Konoha's forehead protectors."

"What? You mean, they are from the village, why would they ambush us?" The others were shocked and spoke out.

"Is it possible that we happened to run into their ambush by accident, and the enemy they are actually fighting against is not us?" Neji was still calm and tried to make a guess.

“…” Aburame Shino wanted to say something. Their Aburame clan knew some secrets of the village. He was hesitating whether to say it out.

"Don't think too much. Since he is a member of the village, it is better to negotiate with him first." Shikamaru is the captain, and he has the final say at this time. They are just Genin, and there is no better way to deal with this situation.

There are many ways to transmit signals. Now the distance of more than 500 meters is not very difficult. For those cockroaches who have learned ninja skills since childhood, it is easy to send out the secret code.

"Captain, we've been discovered."

"It's the Byakugan. There are two Byakugan kids among this group of kids. I thought they would relax their guard after the battle, but I didn't expect them to be so cautious. Forget it, the trap is just to save trouble. It won't take too much effort to fight a group of Genin head-on."

"Remember, capture Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. Don't worry about the others."

"clear"!!!

The code word was sent out, but it had been a while and there was no response. Just as he was hesitating, "Come over there," Ningji reminded.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" a dozen ninjas wearing Anbu masks and special Anbu equipment came to Xiaoqiang.

"Under the orders of the Hokage, take away Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. Please hand them over now." The leader spoke with a cold tone without a trace of emotion, as if the people in front of him were a group of slaves who could have life and death at his disposal.

"Why did you take Naruto and Sasuke away?" The others were obviously dissatisfied with the tone of the Anbu.

"That's it."

"This is the order of the Hokage. Now, I reiterate that you must hand over the two men. Otherwise, you will be regarded as obstructing the order of the Hokage and will be executed on the spot." The leading Anbu was obviously impatient. He did not give any explanation and instead seemed to want to strike first.

"Everyone, step back. They are not ANBU. They are enemies disguised as ANBU." Shikamaru was a smart man. The identities of these ANBU could not be determined, but what was certain was that the Hokage would never order them to be killed on the spot. In other words, these people were either not ninjas from the village, or they were falsely passing on the Hokage's orders. Either way, it proved that the ANBU in front of them were not on the same path as them. If they were not on the same path, they were enemies.

"Don't let anyone go, take action." Seeing that they were exposed, the Anbu had nothing to say and directly gave the order to take action.

"If they are not the Anbu from the village, why are they attacking us?" Naruto still doesn't understand the situation.

"Naruto, don't talk nonsense, they are enemies, it has nothing to do with whether they are from the same village or not." Aburame Shino was still in the mood to explain to Naruto. It took a little time for him to set up his ninjutsu, but with Xiaoqiang here, there was no need to face the enemy right away, giving him the opportunity to perform.

"Fire Style. Fire Dragon Technique."

"Earth escape, earth spear."

"Wind Style. Big breakthrough."

"..."

The Anbu took action without any intention of showing any mercy, and used ninjutsu in an effort to end the battle quickly.

When it came time to fight, Ichiro was the first to attack. He clapped his hands and a dam-shaped earth wall rose up on the ground, blocking the fire escape behind the wall and protecting the little cockroaches behind him.

Xinzi immediately attacked: "Water escape, water dragon bullet technique." Xinzi is not a good-tempered person. You are all deadly, so you have to fight back. He also went all out to deal with so many people, just hit the place where there are many people.

I saw a water dragon more than ten meters high rising from the ground and then rushing down. The people in the Anbu would naturally not sit there and wait for death. In their eyes, this water dragon was not something they could not deal with.

"Ninjutsu, Yatong Ya" Ya's ninjutsu does not involve complicated hand seals. With the cooperation of man and dog, he directly faces an Anbu.

Xiao Li was the first to arrive, and used a series of physical attacks, which forced the Anbu to defend themselves continuously and seemed unable to cope with it.

"Human Bomb Tank."

"Secret Technique, Insect Jade"

"Ninjutsu, multiple shadow clones"

"Soft fist, thirty-two palms of Bagua."

In a short while, on the battlefield, the twelve little warriors either fought one-on-one or two-on-one, and all found their opponents.

In the previous battles, the Twelve Little Strongmen had fought a few times, but most of the time, they were just watching from the sidelines, and they had been holding back their anger for a long time. Now that someone is stirring up trouble, why not start beating them up? What are they waiting for?

As for whether I can win or not, I don’t have time to think about that now. I just want to vent the frustration in my heart.

So when they fight, they have no scruples and use as much force as they can. They just want to vent.

The only person who remained calm on the field was the captain, Shikamaru. He already had a rough guess about the identities of these Anbu members. This matter either had to be resolved quickly, or they had to wait for support.

It was impossible to finish the battle quickly. These Anbu were at least elite Chunin, so it was a pipe dream to wipe them out in a short time. We could only delay until reinforcements arrived.

As for whether support will come, it depends on luck.

He believed in Nobuko and Ichiro's judgment, but Orochimaru was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Whether this group of people could hold out until Kazama's arrival depended entirely on fate.
