Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Not long after walking, Toru Ito saw a familiar figure.

"Hongdou, you bastard..."

He stared with empty eyes at Hongdou, who had left him behind and run away, walking towards him in a swagger, holding a box of three-color meatballs and chewing them.

"Hey~ Looks like I came at the right time!"

Hongdou chuckled, then came over with a gossipy look on her face: "How was it? Did you end your date with that beautiful lady? Any new developments?"

"What are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense like this, be careful of me..."

Ito Toru pretended to confiscate one of her three-colored balls, but Hongdou quickly blocked it with her body and shook her head.

"No, no! You can have anything else you want, but you can't touch my tri-color balls!"

"really?"

Ito Toru suddenly had some distracting thoughts, but when he saw Hongdou's innocent eyes, he finally dismissed the 400-word distracting thoughts: "Forget it, let's go back, it's getting late."

"Okay, let's go together."

Hongdou was cheerful, as if nothing had happened. Her heartless look made Ito Toru curious and amused.

So the two of them walked home together. The streets were very quiet at night, with only the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves.

Because of the bright moonlight, the road ahead can be seen clearly.

The chakra in Ito Toru's body recovered quickly and his steps became lighter.

The battle with Mei Terumi gave him new insights into illusion.

"It's a pity that Karin and the others went back early, otherwise we could have invited them to eat barbecue this year." Hongdou said with regret.

"Yes."

Ito Toru nodded and agreed.

He was thinking about other things.

The Chunin Exams have come to an end, and my companions have all found their own places to go, so from now on, I should be able to usher in a period of peace...

Thinking of this, Toru Ito felt even happier.

And now, on the other side.

The border between the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.

There is a dense forest on one side and a desert on the other.

The natural dividing line is particularly obvious here.

The war in the Rain Country has ended, Hanzo has declared defeat, signed peace agreements with the two surrounding major powers, and began to try to recuperate.

however.

The shadow of war has not dissipated.

The already sharp contradictions between the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation, in the echo of the war, are like accumulated snow, and it may collapse from the top of the mountain at any time.

And at this moment on the front line, the fragile peace is already crumbling.

In the forest, four Konoha ninjas were roasting a fire.

They had just completed their reconnaissance mission for the day.

"so cold……"

Someone muttered, "What are those guys from Sand Hidden doing? Why haven't they made any moves recently?"

"Probably because I didn't hold my fart well."

Another person continued, "I heard that their Third Kazekage is a very strong man. Not long ago, he announced that he would go to war with Konoha."

"..."

The man next to him said nothing, but just used a wooden stick to stir the campfire to make the flames burn brighter. The warm firelight illuminated his serious, angular face.

Crack, crackle, crackle...

The sound of burning wood caused the people who were originally talking to stop talking and quietly enjoy this rare rest time.

These past few days, their nerves have been on edge because they have to face the attack from the Sand Village that could be launched at any time, and everyone is under a lot of mental pressure.

"By the way, Nakamura, I heard that your child is also taking part in the Chunin Exam this year. Any news?"

The man who started speaking asked, but the ninja named Nakamura did not answer for a long time.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

The person next to him gently pushed Nakamura, and then he saw his body slowly leaning to the side. In the shocked eyes of the other three people, he fell limply to the ground, and the flickering firelight illuminated his ashen face.

"Nakamura is dead!"

"There is an enemy attack!"

"Shayin has taken action!"

The other three were all well-trained ninjas, and they immediately began to scatter!

"Set off the flare!"

When a Konoha ninja was about to take out a flare, suddenly, a cold light came from the darkness!

what? !

Before he could react, his palm was cut off by a flying kunai!

"Well!"

The severe pain made him groan, and when he was about to stop the bleeding, he suddenly felt his arm go numb!

poisonous!

There was a flash of despair in his eyes.

You know... there is no medical ninja in my team!

"careful!"

He could only yell, "Their kunai are poisonous—"

Just as he finished speaking, a strange poison quickly invaded his brain, causing him to lose consciousness instantly. He fell to the ground and died from the poison!

"hateful!"

The remaining two Konoha ninjas were shocked when they saw this.

The poison of Sand Village is indeed as good as its reputation!

It doesn't matter if they die here, but if the information can't be passed on...

Konoha's frontline troops are in danger!

"You must break out. I'll cover you!"

The stronger ninja among them made a judgment and stayed where he was without hesitation, while the other ninja did not hesitate and simply sped up and ran away!

This is the fate of a ninja!

"Come on! You cowards from the Sand Village!"

The Konoha ninja who stayed where he was shouted, and then saw countless dark shadows swaying faintly in the surrounding woods!

His heart sank slowly. The other side had a lot of people.

It was obvious that this was an attack carefully planned by the enemy, with the purpose of destroying this group of front-line teams. No... I'm afraid it's not just this group!

They were taking a break after their shift change, which meant... the reconnaissance team further ahead had also been destroyed?

Faced with such a desperate situation, the Konoha ninja knew that he might not survive today, but he did not choose to sit and wait for death. Instead, he gritted his teeth and decided to fight to the death.

"I've been a Chunin for ten years! Come on if you're not afraid of death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly in the darkness, a black shadow rushed towards him like a ghost, at an extremely fast speed!

"Come on!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Konoha ninja, and he used his most proficient body-switching technique without hesitation, took out a kunai and held it in his hand, and with a flash of his body, he rushed forward!

Boom!

The kunai in his hand pierced the opponent's body, making a dull sound of wood.

It's a puppet!

The pupils of this Konoha ninja gradually dilated, and the next moment, his body was pierced by countless sharp blades emitting green light!

Before he died, he saw from the corner of his eye that his companion not far away was also falling under the attack of dense shurikens and poison needles!

"Damn it..."

He took his last breath unwillingly.

This scene also happened on other fronts!

The conflict between the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom has completely broken out from today!
