Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

The River Kingdom is long from north to south, but not wide from east to west, so the borders of the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom are not far apart. At our normal speed, it will take less than two days to cross the River Kingdom.

Due to the abundant water resources and complex terrain, there are no large rivers in the country of Chuan. Instead, there is a dense network of waterways that crisscross each other, and there are many swamps, which hinder our progress.

However, the same is true for the ninjas from the Wind Country. Due to the existence of the Byakugan, we can actually discover the Sand Ninjas in advance and gain the upper hand, just like in the previous battle.

After we continued to move towards the border of Wind Country for a while, Inuzuka Kanae said, "Captain Hyuga, we are very close to the border of Wind Country. I have been here to carry out missions before the war started."

"The closer we get to the Kingdom of Wind, the higher the number and frequency of Sand Ninja reconnaissance teams will be. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to infiltrate further into them."

In fact, from the changes in the terrain and environment, I can feel that we are getting closer and closer to the Kingdom of Wind. Although it is not as exaggerated as the rumored desert in the interior of the Kingdom of Wind, it is true that the water and marshes are gradually decreasing.

Just as I was thinking about whether to take the risk of sneaking into the Kingdom of Wind for this mission, or to use the Byakugan to explore the border, two figures suddenly appeared in my Byakugan. To be precise, they were two ninjas whose chakra reactions were even better than those of ordinary jonin.

I frowned and increased my pupil power. The veins at the corners of my eyes bulged, and the scene in the distance became clear. I saw that they were two young ninjas, a man and a woman.

The male ninja has short orange-red hair, a brown coat covering his body, and a wide scarf around his neck. The female ninja is dressed the same way, but the difference is that she has long brown hair.

Such appearance features and the place where they appeared reminded me of two characters, whose names were not revealed in the original work, the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo, the parents of Scorpion of the Red Sand, and the commander-in-chief of the eastern battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind in this Ninja World War.

Although in the original work both of them were defeated by Konoha White Fang's Hatake Sakumo, but according to intelligence, they were also elite jonin of the Sand Ninja and not ninjas that our team can defeat.

I didn't expect that before we even entered the Kingdom of Wind, we would encounter ninjas whose strength far exceeded ours, especially since I had not used my Byakugan to its limit and could only maintain a field of vision of one kilometer.

Such a distance is certainly enough to detect ordinary ninjas in advance, but for ninjas at the elite level, although they are not perception-type ninjas, their keen intuition still enabled them to discover us at the same time as my eyes noticed them.

I frowned and waved to signal Inuzuka Kanae and the other three to stop: "It seems that the commanders of the Sand Ninja, Akagatsuga and Unohana, have discovered us as well."

"The elite jonin of the Wind Country, the son of the first Kazekage? The strength of these two people is not something we can contend with." Yuhi Ichiro said in a lost voice.

"Captain, let's retreat. This is not an opponent that our team can defeat." Even Shimura Isshin, who always thinks highly of himself, agreed.

Although Inuzuka Kana didn't say anything, she seemed a little absent-minded as she stroked the black mastiff, looking at me and waiting for my decision.

I watched the two people who were originally one kilometer away from us approaching us at a high speed. I secretly estimated their speed and shook my head and said, "With your speed, you can't escape the pursuit of these two people."

I pondered for a moment and said, "You three should retreat first. I will stay and hold them off for a while. When the time comes, you can return to the Konoha camp and ask Master Hatake to pick me up."

"Captain Hyuga, this..."

"Captain, let's stay and fight them too."

"Don't worry about me. I may not be their opponent, but if I want to get away, they can't stop me." I stopped the three of them from talking: "You guys can't help much if you stay, and you will only distract me."

Inuzuka Kanae and the other two looked at each other, and neither of them admitted that what I said made sense. Without any hesitation, they ran towards the direction of the Konoha camp.

In fact, I'm not forcing myself. This time, through a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Four Symbols and the Eight Trigrams, I have perfected the method of the Twelve Earthly Branches' fundamental seals, and my strength has also increased a lot. My physical strength, chakra, and eye power have already reached the level of a Jonin.

If I activate the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, I can fight even an elite jonin for several rounds. What's more, the Hyuga Soft Fist has a certain restraint on puppeteers.

Although it is impossible for me to defeat the two elite jonin, Akasaga no Tsubasa and Unohana, by myself, I am still confident that I can just hold them off for a while or escape unscathed.

The two men saw that Inuzuka Kanae and the other two had turned around and retreated, and naturally did not want to let them go easily. They waved their hands and threw out the puppet scroll, and a huge puppet tiger appeared under their feet, and their forward speed immediately increased again.
