Konoha I am Uchiha

"Sir Hokage, the front line has entered the frontline warning area. I believe we will encounter the response force soon."

"Well, stay vigilant and don't let down your guard."

"Yes!"

In the dense forest, four ninjas were seen quickly criss-crossing the tree branches, heading towards the direction of the Konoha camp ahead.

The leader was a short old man in his fifties. His face was covered with wrinkles, but he was still wearing a combat uniform, with two streamers flying behind his head.

It is the Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is known as the "Strongest Hokage" and "Doctor of Ninjutsu"!

Although there were some gray spots in his beard, he still went to the battlefield without hesitation.

No one dared to underestimate this skinny old man. It was precisely because of his presence that Konoha was still not defeated by the surrounding powerful countries even after losing powerful men such as the Fourth Hokage, Sannin and Konoha White Fang. Until now, Konoha still has the strength to confront and compete with the two hidden villages.

He is a strong man who can completely change the situation of the battle. Just like the Sandaime Raikage of Kumogakure Village, only by being determined to sacrifice thousands of ninjas can he be completely eliminated.

"Who is that person in front of you! Stop and show up!"

Following the old man were three ninjas who came from Konoha's ANBU. They were Hiroshi Tamashiro, Yamashiro Aoba and Shiranui Genma who had served as the guards of the Fourth Hokage.

After Minato's sacrifice, the Sandaime appreciated their abilities and incorporated them into his direct ANBU. Apparently, this time they were asked to take off their masks and join him to support the front line!

The three of them, who were almost twenty years old at this time, were moved by the Sandaime's trust and had long secretly sworn in their hearts that they would swear allegiance to the Sandaime Hokage to the death and do everything for him.

The speaker was none other than Shiranui Genma among them. Although he is the youngest among the three, Genma is obviously the most down-to-earth and steady among them, so at this time, as the representative of the guard, he negotiates with the ninja who came from nowhere.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell within the protective circle formed by the three of them, acquiescing to Genma's behavior.

"Please don't be nervous. This is a team that has been ordered to receive support. I am the team leader, Jonin Ito."

Seeing that he had been discovered, Ito showed up with his subordinates without hesitation. He is not a perceptive ninja and cannot judge whether the opponent is real or fake, but he still has the basic perceptual ability of a ninja.

The amount of chakra possessed by the opponent's people is obviously better than one's own. Not to mention the Sandaime Hokage, even if he ages, the chakra Ito feels is still majestic!

If the other party is pretending, then he and his subordinates can't escape, so they might as well show up early. Even if they can't be stopped here, they can attract reinforcements through the sounds of battle.

"Hello Jounin Ito, this is the guard of the Third Hokage of Konoha Village, and I am the special Jounin Shiranui Genma." Genma introduced himself.

"Now please show your team's mission letter or task book." Shiranui Genma did not let his companions behind him relax their vigilance, but chose to check the mission letter first.

As far as he knew, there were many cases of mission failure and even team casualties due to relaxing the vigilance in advance.

After checking the mission statement and confirming that the other party was indeed the team that came to respond, Shiranui Genma gestured behind him, and in the same way as Yamashiro Aoba, he obviously relaxed and put away the weapons in his hands.

Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked calm and composed, but the remaining seven people did not dare to ignore his presence.

"I'm sorry, this is our mission statement." Xuanjian handed over his support mission statement with both hands.

Although he is the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen's travels also need to be reported. It's just that the main purpose of the mission statement is not to restrict, but to prevent someone from maliciously pretending to be the Hokage and giving false orders.

After confirming each other's identities, a group of eight people began to rush towards the front line camp.

"You are Jonin Ito, right?" During the march, the Hokage suddenly spoke to Ito: "Can you explain to us the situation on the front line? Although there are letters exchanged from time to time, there are still some omissions."

Ito was a little flattered that Hokage-sama was indeed gentle and kind, and even explained to me, a civilian ninja, "Yes! Hokage-sama!"

He described the current situation on the front line in detail, only describing what he saw and heard. He did not make any clever guesses about the intentions of the commanders, nor did he go beyond the realm of speculation about the movements of the front lines and rear areas that he had not seen.

The Hokage seemed extremely satisfied with his answer. Just as he was about to say something, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Who is it? Come out!"

"Oh, it looks like I caught a really big fish..."

Along with this smooth and hoarse voice, a group of Kirigakure team appeared.

The leader is a blue-skinned young man with shark-like teeth, his small eyes filled with bloodthirsty rage. He is none other than the famous genius ninja in Kirigakure - Kisame Inogaki!

……

A few days ago, in the Konoha headquarters.

"Shikaku, what did you say? How is this possible!"

Don't blame Hai for making such a fuss, it's just that what Shikaku said was too shocking.

"Don't be excited, Haiichi." Nara Shikaku's expression remained unchanged: "I have carefully analyzed all the battles Kirigakure has fought since he participated in this Ninja World War."

"In fact, it is not difficult to find that the transfer of Kirigakure ninjas does not seem to have any major problems on the surface, but upon closer inspection, there are very obvious loopholes."

"The most obvious one is the battle with Senior Dai." Lu Jiu looked at his two companions: "You should still remember it."

"Of course!" Of course, the two of them will never forget the Eight Gate Dunjia Formation back then. In order to protect the new buds of Konoha, Dai-senpai's youth bloomed so brightly.

"Although we are all surprised by Senior Dai's strength, we must not forget the war situation at that time..."

"You mean to say..."

"It's very simple. Kirigakure's seven ninja swordsmen, as Kirigakure's famous combination, play a huge role on the battlefield. It is said that if they cooperate, even their Mizukage will be difficult to resist."

"But Haiyi and Dingzuo, do you still remember the reason why they fought?"

"It seems that Kirigakure's seven ninja swordsmen attacked our supply line?" Haiichi also felt something was wrong.

"Yes! As Kirigakure's sharp sword, a being who is said to be able to destroy a country with seven people, he actually went to sneak attack a Chuunin team. This is not a simple overkill."

"Besides, if we attack the Kingdom of Water, this situation can be explained away. Cutting off the invaders' logistical supplies will not only greatly reduce the enemy's will to fight, but also make it easier for the defenders to kill the enemy in one fell swoop."

"But for Kirigakure, this behavior is really useless."

"Yes, the Land of Fire is our home court of Konoha. Even if the supply line is temporarily cut off, Konoha's logistics capabilities can quickly restore it. This is a completely thankless battle." Ding Zao added.

"No one is a fool, Kirigakure will not fail to see this, so there is only one possibility for this result."

"what?"

"The order for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to support the frontline battlefield and attack the supply line was not issued by one person or people from the same faction!"

"what do you mean……"

"Although Kirigakure believes in secrecy, some basic information can still be found out." Shikaku's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Ding Zao, Haiichi, it seems that the interior of Kirigakure is not monolithic..."
