Generally speaking, the two groups of ninja teams would not be too close to each other, so after the battle we didn't have to worry about encountering Sand Ninjas again, so we didn't go too far away and rested beside a stream.

Ninjas are based on strength above all else. Through this battle, our team has strengthened our understanding of each other. After all, a team still needs some tacit understanding and cooperation.

"Captain Hinata, I heard that you personally participated in two major battles in the Rain Country battlefield, and even faced off against the demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo of the Salamander." Because there were no casualties among our team members, everyone was relatively relaxed, and the lively Inuzuka Kana began to ask with interest.

"Yes, I and two other students of Jiraiya-sensei followed Jiraiya-sensei, as well as Tsunade and Lord Orochimaru, to train on the front line of the Rain Country."

There was nothing to keep secret about these things: "I was fortunate enough to participate in two large-scale battles. The strength of the Rain Country is still a certain distance away from Konoha, but Hanzo is indeed worthy of being a demigod in the ninja world. It took Jiraiya-sensei and the other two to tie with him."

"The Wind Country had always been at peace with our Konoha, but they suddenly invaded the River Country a few days ago. I don't know if it was affected by the battlefield in the Rain Country." Shimura Isshin analyzed.

"However, the main battlefield of this war is still in the Rain Country. The forces of several major countries are intertwined. All we have to do is prevent the Sand Ninja from the Wind Country from sneaking into the Fire Country. There shouldn't be a large-scale battle."

As expected, as a member of the clan who currently serves as the senior elder of Konoha, Shimura Danzo, Shimura Isshin has some understanding of the current situation in the ninja world.

"The River Country is indeed not the core area of ​​this war, and we in Konoha do not have any interests to protect here. We only need to ensure that the River Country is not annexed by the Wind Country, and our mission will be accomplished."

Before I finished my mission and came here, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen explained to Minato Shinichi and me the things we each needed to pay attention to and the status of our mission.

"But this does not mean that our mission is easy. Scouting battles have always been life-and-death battles with extremely high casualties. They are also our main form of combat here." I warned seriously.

"Don't worry, Captain Hinata, Lord Hatake has already explained everything to us." Inuzuka Kana responded with a smile, and she seemed to admire Hatake Sakumo very much.

"I have never met Lord Hatake before. What kind of person do you think he is?" As for Hatake Sakumo, I only know from the original work that he was the White Fang of Konoha, who was very capable on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Wind, and eventually committed suicide. I don't know much about his specific strength and personality.

Inuzuka Kanae seems to be a fanatical fan of Hatake Sakumo. She gets a little excited when she mentions him: "As the village's elite jonin, Hatake-sama's strength is unquestionable. The key is that Hatake-sama has a gentle personality and is very caring towards us subordinates."

"During his battles with the Sand Ninja, Hatake-sama was known as the White Fang of Konoha. His swordsmanship was direct and sharp. It's no exaggeration to say that he was the nightmare of the Sand Ninja."

Isshin Shimura also added: "The Hatake clan is not a big clan, nor does it have a strong bloodline limit or family secrets. Master Hatake has achieved what he has today only through his own efforts and strength."

Yuhi Ichiro recalled: "Master Hatake was known as a genius in the Ninja School and graduated from the Ninja School a few years ahead of schedule. At that time, Master Hatake was also very enthusiastic in the school and often helped us answer our questions."

It seems that Hatake Sakumo is very popular in Konoha, at least among the younger generation of ninjas. In fact, as representatives of the younger generation of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya-sensei are all strong contenders for the position of Hokage.

However, in the original work, after the Second Ninja World War, Jiraiya left, Orochimaru became obsessed with studying forbidden techniques, Tsunade was psychologically traumatized, and Hatake Sakumo later committed suicide, resulting in a lack of successors for the young generation of Konoha. It was not until Minato shined in the Third Ninja World War that he eventually inherited the title of Hokage.

However, the war in Rain Country is basically over now. When I left, there was no news of the death of Tsunade's brother and lover, and Jiraiya had not met Nagato Konan and others. If Hatake Sakumo had not committed suicide in the end, there would be many ninjas who were qualified and capable of inheriting the position of the fourth Hokage, not to mention the elder advisors of Shimura Danzo's generation.

But these are just idle chats in my free time. For me, neither the position of Hokage nor the status in the Hyuga clan matters to me. Only the enhancement of my strength is the basis of my survival.

What's more, when I knew that there was a way to become an immortal, immortality and freedom were not just legends. How could the power and status in the ninja world have any appeal to me?

After chatting and resting for a while, I signaled a few people to stand up and prepare to continue the in-depth investigation. Our goal this time is to wipe out the Sand Ninja spies in the River Country and push the defense line to the border of the Wind Country.
