Konoha's Destiny Twins

November 11, Konoha 43.

This land, which had been peaceful for only a few years, was now in flames of war again.

Ten days have passed since the war broke out. During this period, dozens of conflicts of various sizes have occurred between Konoha and Sunagakure, and the number of casualties has continued to rise.

In the Second Ninja War, Shimizu joined the regular ninja troops as a newly promoted chunin and participated in various frontal battles against the enemy.

At that time, because he still had the glorious aura of "genius", the village itself took more care of him; in addition, the teacher leading the team was Kosuke Maruboshi, who had the strength of an elite jounin, so his safety could be said to be fairly guaranteed. .

You must know that genin, who are generally powerless and not taken seriously, can easily be assigned to the cannon fodder team used to test the enemy's situation or lure the enemy in the ninja war.

This kind of team is usually composed of 3 genin and 1 chunin. They are relatively weak. Once they are alone and discovered by the enemy jounin, the team will be easily destroyed.

Only by surviving to the end and standing out in this environment can you have a chance to join an elite team led by a Jonin.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine with the protection of jounin...

Jonin is a high-end force in the war of the ninja world, and is often given extremely important tasks. The casualty rate is not much lower than that of the cannon fodder team...

War is fair, no matter whether it is a fledgling genin or a powerful jounin.

Because sometimes, all it takes is an accident for death to come.

Shimizu is now a member of the Anbu, and the main responsibility of the Anbu during the war is the detection and transmission of intelligence.

Of course there will be battles, but they will not directly participate in large-scale battles such as offensive battles or positional battles.

The positioning of ANBU is more similar to the special forces he knew in his previous life. During wartime, they will be responsible for going deep behind enemy lines, spying on intelligence, rescuing hostages, assassinating targets, etc., or forming elite teams to raid small groups of enemies. This series of large-scale ninja armies cannot be completed. task.

Shimizu and the 7th Brigade of the ANBU 2nd Legion led by him were assigned to the southwest border of the Country of Fire to perform border intelligence reconnaissance and transmission, as well as to prevent and intercept the Sunagakure intelligence force.

During the war, a lot of accurate and detailed information was obtained and passed on by secret agents such as them.

The area that Qingshui is responsible for is located in the area bordering the Country of Fire and the Country of Sichuan, where mountains and forests overlap and the terrain is complex.

There are no large supply camps nearby. The nearest military fortress, Luoye City, is also in the hinterland of the Country of Fire, half a day's journey away.

It can be said that Qingshui's current location is the forefront of the southwest region.

The village has indeed assigned an important task...

So after studying the terrain here, Qingshui and the leader of Team 1 decided to arrange for three teams to be on duty continuously for 12 hours, and the other three teams to rotate after 12 hours.

This ensures uninterrupted inspections within 24 hours in this vacuum no man's land.

The last three teams are recharging their strength to ensure maximum combat effectiveness in case of accidents and battles that may occur at any time. In order to support each other in the shortest possible time, the distance between the nine teams is not far apart.

Not long ago, a group of about 5 teams of Sunagakure ninjas, totaling more than 20 people, actually penetrated into the Land of Fire and raided an ANBU team deployed by Shimizu here.

After sending out a signal for help, Shimizu quickly led two ANBU teams to the rescue, and cooperated with two other ANBU teams deployed in nearby areas to launch a counterattack against Sunagakure.

After leaving behind several corpses, these sand ninjas finally had no choice but to retreat.

Today, Qingshui is leading the members of the 5 teams of the 7th Brigade to clean up the battlefield.

"How is the situation?" Qing Shui asked.

At this time, he was standing on a big tree,

Observe and guard this battlefield, trying to get more information.

"We sacrificed 3 people and injured 7 people, including 2 seriously injured. 5 Suna ninja died, and the number of injured should be more than ten." The squad leader of one group replied, his code name is "Trina", A 30-year-old Jounin of Konoha, who has been in the Anbu for more than ten years, is a veteran.

Qing Shui guessed that Lord Hokage meant to ask Trina to assist him so that he could adapt to the position of ANBU captain as soon as possible.

There is nothing unusual about the casualty data alone, but when combined with the facts, the problem is obvious: as the party that was raided, their casualties were actually less than Sunagakure...

"The Jonin led by Sunagakure just now is very strong... It will be difficult for me to win." Trina said, "Fortunately, Captain, you came in time."

In the battle just now, the opponent's leading jounin fought with Trina, who arrived one step ahead, and several other Sunagakure jounin fought with the captains of the rest of Shimizu's team.

The high-end combat power can be said to be quite strong.

But among the five corpses of Sunagakure, two more were teenagers around 12 years old. These were clearly newly promoted genin.

Trina stepped forward and carefully inspected the bodies of the two Sunagakure genin. He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.

"The Jonin teacher brought the genin students out to practice?" Qingshui guessed.

During the battle just now, Qingshui also observed that there were a considerable number of genin mixed in Sunagakure's team.

The overall strength of the opponent is not weak, but this combination of high and low levels naturally reminds Qingshui of the scene where the Konoha jounin takes the new genin out to fight monsters and upgrade...

"What did you find?"

"Not yet..." Trina slowly shook her head.

Carefully recalling the battle just now, the opponent was indeed a mixed team with 12 genin, but there were not many jounin, with a full 6.

This was also the fundamental reason why Trina and his group of Konoha elite ANBU were unable to win in the beginning.

However, after Shimizu joined the battlefield, he relied on his elusive teleportation technique to take away the lives of two Sunagakure ninjas in the blink of an eye, and seriously injured one of the opponent's Jonin, completely turning the tide of the battle.

In the end, Sunagakure chose to retreat.

Because there was something strange about Sunagakure's raid, Qingshui did not rush to order a pursuit.

"If you just test our defense line, there is no need to send so many people... This kind of team is not like an ANBU spying on intelligence." Qing Shui concluded.

The two looked at each other and both saw the problem.

The Sunagakure troops that had just retreated were more like a small force that broke away from the regular ninja army.

But, what's the point of letting such troops test Konoha's border?

Wouldn't it be more effective to dispatch a small group of elite troops to carry out harassment, sabotage or even assassination behind enemy lines?

Is it really to train the next generation?

Although this was Qingshui's first victory in the Third Ninja War, he felt no joy at all now.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

"Let Team 3 be more vigilant. Deploy security around them."

Team 3 of the 7th Battalion has the Byakugan, the blood successor with the strongest detection ability in Konoha.

Soon, the battlefield was cleared. The bodies of their dead companions had to be taken away, and the bodies of Sunagakure had to be dragged away as well. Maybe Konoha's medical ninjas or the intelligence experts from the Second Anbu Legion could figure out something.
