Konoha's Destiny Twins

The Konoha army moved forward silently.

Although Yoshimaru had already made clear the core purpose of this mission before setting off: "To attack Kirigakure Village, so that the Kirigakure army in the Bear Country will no longer want to fight, thereby defeating the opponent in one fell swoop to ensure the peace of the east of the Fire Country."

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is, how much sacrifice does it take to achieve such a strategic goal?

Of the 3,000 Konoha ninjas here, how many will be able to come back intact by then?

No one knows and no one can answer this question.

There is a dark cloud hanging over everyone's mind.

It is really difficult, and they will inevitably pay a considerable price, but these are nothing compared to the benefits that Konoha can obtain.

This is also the fundamental reason why this risky combat plan can gain the support of all members.

Unfortunately, however, news came from the reconnaissance ninjas ahead, and the Kirigakure Anbu discovered the movements of their army.

"They were discovered, but we didn't stop them." Yoshimaru's heart became even heavier.

This means that Kirigakure Village, which has received the information, will take precautions in advance.

Want to retreat?

At this point, they can indeed retreat to preserve the power here, but Konoha has no way to retreat.

Once again it was time to make a decision, from attack to attack...

【】The voting results still unanimously supported the continued attack on Kirigakure Village. Kirigakure's early discovery did not shake the determination of everyone present.

"In that case, let's rush to Kirigakure Village as quickly as possible." Yoshimaru gave the final order.

"By the way, is Lin here this time?" Qing Shui suddenly asked.

"Lin? That Uchiha Obito's little lover?" Yoshimaru remembered it as soon as he recalled it, because Qingshui had already asked about Lin's whereabouts when he first arrived at the camp. "She stayed in the camp to take care of the injured. This time The action didn’t come together.”

"You pay so much attention to that little girl... is it because of Obito?"

"Yes, that boy Obito entrusted me to take care of him." Obito is still lying in Konoha Hospital, and Lin followed Konoha's troops to conquer the southeastern border of the Country of Fire, but this time they raided Kirigakure. The village's plan did not include her.

That's fine. If Lin was involved in such a dangerous mission, he would have to pay more attention to the safety of this little girl. Now she stayed in the camp in the southwest of the Country of Fire, which was relatively safe.

After all, Obito would really do anything for Rin.

The army continued to move quickly, and after passing through the mountains, the road ahead was covered by thick fog.

Kirigakure Village has arrived!

"The Kirigakure Village is ahead... Not even a single person was seen along the way. It seems that their strength is far inferior to ours, so they chose to shrink their defense." Yoshimaru judged.

"In such a hasty situation, they should not have enough time, nor can they build any effective defense line... Maybe Kirigakure at this time is already planning to have the army in the Bear Country return for reinforcements."

"And this takes time."

"Although we have very little time..."

"So everyone, let's make a quick decision."

"Split up now!"

"yes!"

When the opponent's strength is not as good as our own, and there will be reinforcements in the future, even if Konoha's side is exhausted now, they still choose to attack as quickly as possible.

After a short rest,

The Hyuga clan and the Inuzuka clan took the lead and broke into the thick fog, followed closely by the other two legions of Konoha, which was an advance team of nearly a thousand people.

"How is the chakra recovery going?" Qing Shui asked.

"More than two-thirds." Satomi replied, ready to go.

Because the average chakra amount of the first team to charge Konoha would probably not exceed three-quarters.

Such an eager attack is all designed to make Kirigakure Village unable to defend itself.

They neither expected that Konoha would arrive here so quickly, nor did they expect that Konoha would launch such a swift and violent attack.

"Then wait until you fully recover before we take action."

"Huh?" The unexpected reply made the girl say "Hmm" after being slightly surprised.

Less than an hour later, Konoha's second army was also preparing to set off. It was the Uchiha and Akimichi clans, also a large force of nearly a thousand people.

Qing Shui looked at the white mist in front of him that seemed to be able to swallow everyone at any time: "How is the situation on the front line?"

"The Hyuga clan encountered strong resistance from Kirigakure, so Chief Fugaku requested to leave early." Yoshimaru replied calmly.

"Have you roughly understood the terrain?" Qingshui asked again.

"Well... the entire Kirigakure Village is in the mountains, and there are only two ways in. The other entrance is to the north. The Uchiha clan entered Kirigakure Village from the north entrance."

"Then I'll go over there and have a look."

"Be careful." Yoshimaru said with a solemn expression.

"Take care of yourself too."

…

"It turns out that Shimizu chose to fight alongside us Uchiha." Fugaku smiled slightly after seeing Shimizu walking with him. starter

Qingshui did not act unfamiliar, but of course he would not deliberately get close. He calmly replied: "Not only Uchiha, but all the Konoha ninjas here are fighting side by side."

"You're right, everyone is a companion."

"Chief Fugaku..." Suddenly an Uchiha ninja reported, "There is about a large group of enemies at the entrance to Kirigakure Village ahead."

"It should just be a reconnaissance force." Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment before giving the order to attack.

"It seems that Fugaku-senpai is not worried about the enemy setting up an ambush."

"No matter if it's a trap, you have to rush through it even if you risk your life..." Uchiha Fugaku said calmly.

"In today's battle, Konoha is actually the passive one..."

"We are not in a position to choose to retreat."

"So we can only move forward."

Judging from such words, Uchiha Fugaku seems to be a very righteous person. This man would actually choose to give and sacrifice for Konoha.

This is completely inconsistent with the established impression in Qing Shui's mind.

"Are you surprised?"

"Actually, in a sense, Qingshui, you and I are the same kind of people..."

A familial fanatic with a knack for intrigue?

Or a profit-seeking egoist?

What kind of person are these? !

Qing Shui calmly replied: "It seems that I have shed much more blood for Konoha than you... Fugaku-senpai."

"It's just that times make heroes." Uchiha Fugaku didn't care about Shimizu's teasing. Instead, he continued seriously, "You will choose to take risks for the companions you recognize, and I will also take risks for the Uchiha clan. Make sacrifices..."

"When we do this, in the eyes of outsiders, we are shedding blood and dying for Konoha."

"Don't you think so?"

"...That's just your wishful thinking, Chief Fugaku."

"Haha..." Uchiha Fugaku smiled disapprovingly.

"It seems there is a deep misunderstanding..." Qingshui immediately understood what Uchiha Fugaku was thinking, thinking that he was here to secretly protect Shisui and Megumi.

Therefore, if the Uchiha clan was unfortunately in danger, he would not be able to turn a cold shoulder.

So he stopped moving forward, looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said, "I choose to go with the Uchiha clan for the time being. Of course I have my reasons."

"But whether it's Shisui or Megumi, they all have their own way to go, and I won't interfere too much."

"It's like I don't want to see Obito join ANBU... all of this may be his own wish, or maybe it's your inducement, Fugaku-senpai..."

When he said this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed slightly.

"No matter what, he joined ANBU after all."

"And I..." Qingshui's mind flashed back to the kid's innocence and ignorance when he first met Obito, to Obito's excitement when he opened his eyes for the first time, to "Actually, I don't care about these. Because this is his own path. .”

"The so-called companionship, in my opinion... is certainly not something that can be thrown away casually. But it is not something that must be fought for."

"If we are the same kind of people... I think you, Fugaku-senpai, would think that the so-called family revival is nothing more than that."

"After so much bloodshed and sacrifice, I have long understood the truth..."

"Only strength will not betray you; only strength is the real way out."

"So what I am pursuing now is only stronger strength."

"And the so-called companionship, the revival of the family, these things...if you dare to block my path..."

Qing Shui did not continue to elaborate on that if.

But at this point, Uchiha Fugaku's expression had turned gloomy.

"Finally... Chief Fugaku, this is war, and you should be able to understand its cruelty better than I can."

Yes, this is a war where death is everywhere.

The same is true for Kei and Shisui. No matter how talented a ninja is, as long as he makes one mistake, death is the only outcome.
