Konoha: Kaguya's Notepad

A few days later, after a long journey, the four people finally arrived at the front line of the Kingdom of Wind.

Standing in front of a dense forest, there is an endless desert stretching as far as the eye can see, stretching for hundreds of miles without any human habitation.

This was the national border before the war began. Of course, the Suna Ninja have now withdrawn their defenses across the board. Konoha's troops were pointing directly at the hinterland, which made them very nervous. However, as the Kingdom of Rain declared war on Konoha, causing it to fight on two fronts, Konoha was in serious trouble.

A situation of insufficient military strength.

Now, across this vast desert, 100 miles ahead is Konoha's frontline station. It is not the base camp of Konoha's northern legion, but a strengthened outpost, with more than 300 Konoha soldiers stationed inside.

Ninja, and the real base camp is now stationed in the rear for repairs, waiting for the spring to join forces with reinforcements, to completely capture the northern front in one go, and then join forces with the southern front to attack the rain ninja.

Kaguya and others took advantage of the darkness to arrive at the frontline station. After showing the Konoha Village pass to the sentry guard, they and White Fang were brought to the person in charge of the outpost.

But before I could go in, I was suddenly stopped again.

………………

In the dark night, candlelight flickered in the tent where Commander Nakamori Ye was.

Nakamori, who was sitting in front of the table, was holding an urgent secret letter from Konoha Village in his hand. He had a serious expression on his face. The letter in his hand was handwritten by Konoha senior officials, and the content inside was

It is a top secret and must not be known to outsiders.

What's unexpected is that the letter was sent out nearly a day in advance, but it was delivered less than 5 minutes before the White Fang team. This shows how fast the White Fang team is moving. I'm afraid it's not.

The ANBU who delivered the message almost ran away and vomited blood.

After Nakamori hurriedly read and memorized the contents, he directly placed the letter in the stove next to him and burned it with flames.

"Someone, bring them in."

After doing all this, Nakamori ordered the guards to bring White Fang and others into the tent.

As White Fang and others walked into the tent, Nakamori immediately stood up and greeted him. He said with a smile on his face: "Hatake-sama, you are here, and you can see the famous White Fang of Konoha, those group of

The Suna ninja brats will definitely be very happy."

"Long time no see, Zhongmori."

White Fang and Nakamori Ye were teammates in the same trench in the early days of the war, so they were not strangers.

After the simple greetings, Zhongsen glanced at the three people behind Bai Ya intentionally or unintentionally.

The leader, the black-haired boy, was dressed in a rather unusual way. He looked around as soon as he came in. When he glanced at the brazier, his eyes were full of inquiry.

Then he looked at Zhongsen, this tall and thin man with a hooked nose and red eyes, his eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation, and when he first came in, he looked at the three of them for a moment.

Displeased, combined with the fact that they were suddenly ordered to come and see what happened before they arrived just as they walked to the door.

Kaguya turned back to look at Yue Yong, who nodded slightly at her.

Before coming here, Uchiha intelligence showed that the frontline commander here is named Nakamori Ye, a 26-year-old Jonin who is good at wind escape and illusion. Other information is unknown. But there is a high probability that he is someone from the top, and Hui

Ye judged that someone from Anbu or Genbu should have sent a letter before they came. The corner of the letter that had not been burned by the fire was evidence. In short, it was not from their side.

At this time, Nakamori turned his attention to the three people. He asked with a hint of doubt and curiosity: "Are these three members of your team? They don't look very old. It would be too young to be sent to the front line."

——”

White Fang shook his head and said: "The situation in the village is not good now. The fighting power of the rain ninjas in the south is amazing, and a large number of troops have been mobilized. The large troops will not be able to leave until the spring, and the raising of supplies and military rations will also have to be done.

Time. If it weren’t for the urgency from your side, I would actually wait until spring before setting off with the large army."

"Then, how bad is the situation for you to issue four emergency calls for help in a row?"

Nakamori originally wanted to get more information, but he didn't expect that White Fang just glanced at him and suddenly changed the topic.

Although it was a bit strange why White Fang deliberately intercepted his intention, Nakamori immediately said obediently: "The situation is as bad as it is. According to the intelligence, there is a small enemy reconnaissance force less than 40 miles away from us, and heading towards

The next 60 miles is one of their field brigade, and more people are still gathering."

"Seeing that Konoha has not attacked for a long time, the Suna Ninja have already suspected that we are waiting for reinforcements. This time sending people to take the initiative is a test. If they confirm that we do not have enough troops to support a two-front battle, they will soon launch a strategic counterattack."

White Fang realized the seriousness of the situation, which meant that the Sand Ninja had recovered from the earlier blow and was ready to counterattack Konoha at any time.

"How many of them are there?"

"About 2,000 people, but maybe more."

This is already a strengthened field brigade, White Fang thought in surprise.

"I understand, so what are we going to do?"

"Sneak behind enemy lines, steal intelligence, and go as deep as possible. It's best to destroy their logistics department to buy more time."

Zhongsen ordered his adjutant to bring over a map, then pointed to a red dot on the map and said: "We sacrificed six people to explore the terrain information before. This place is called Sha Shen Valley, which is a naturally formed terrain. We

I suspect that the enemy has hidden a large amount of supplies here. If we can find this place, we can judge their specific number of people and the direction of attack from the supplies. It would be even better if we can destroy this batch of supplies."

"but……"

At this time, Nakamori glanced at Kaguya and the others, and then suddenly said to White Fang: "But here you have to go 200 miles behind enemy lines. The dangerous road is easy to be discovered. Once the position is exposed, the surrounding Sand Ninja will attack you endlessly.

The pursuit can be said to be a fatal situation."

Bai Ya didn't show any sign of wavering after hearing this, and just waited for Zhongsen's next words.

"So I think you should send more professional and experienced people to follow you. I can give these three children easier tasks, at least I can't let them die on the battlefield in vain. They are so young and they are the future of the village.

We should not throw away our lives in this hell easily."

When Nakamori said these words, his eyes were fixed on White Fang, and his tone was very sincere.

"I agree, Teacher White Fang really shouldn't take us with him."

Just when White Fang was still hesitating, he realized that something was wrong. But in fact, White Fang neither wanted to side with the higher-ups nor the Uchiha. He just simply hoped to contribute to the village, but was unwilling to get involved.

He entered this kind of political struggle. However, he ignored his own identity and status. Even if he didn't want to, it was impossible not to be exploited.

After spending the past few days together, Kaguya has figured out White Fang's attitude. To put it simply, he just wants to make a simple knife, but he doesn't want to be used by anyone or someone with an innate position. Although White Fang is very He has strength, but unfortunately he is not suitable for intrigues.

And the most regrettable thing is that Kaguya tried to win over White Fang several times, but was ignored by the other party.

He didn't want to side with the top management, and he was also not interested in Uchiha.

"you……"

White Fang looked at Kaguya in surprise. Their eyes looked at each other, and he understood immediately. This was Kaguya helping him to remove it. The conflict between the top management and Uchiha will not stop. If you don't Sooner or later, both sides will kill the gang, Yue Yong has thought about this more than once, not to mention whether he will attract Danzo's hatred if he ignores the orders from the top.

Since you don't want to be caught in it, then leave quickly. The farther you go, the safer you will be. It is best to defect to the province directly. Later, you were forced to commit suicide by the rumors.

"Yueyong's ability is not good at stealth operations, and the same goes for Baihua. If we follow Teacher White Fang, it will only be a burden, and we are too young and our physical abilities cannot keep up with the teacher's speed. What if the mission fails because of us? ——That’s not good, right?”

"Yes, this mission is very important and must not fail!"

Nakamori Ye also spoke hastily. It was obvious that he did not want White Fang to get involved because the two had an old relationship.

"Hatake, just listen to my instructions this time and take two experienced people with you. If it fails, you can use your skills to help them escape. But these three children will definitely die there, so why do you have to Are you going to force them to death?"

White Fang looked at the two people who had impatient expressions on their faces. Kaguya and Nakamori obviously didn't like White Fang, a person whose stance was not clear and who was inexplicably powerful, who continued to get in the way. They could not be killed or pulled. , it’s really annoying to be stuck in the middle.

………………

In the end, White Fang could only agree to temporarily change his subordinates. After all, this mission was indeed very important. Secondly, Kaguya was right. The fighting methods of Baihua and Yueyong were not suitable for stealth operations. Once they took action, they would make too much noise. .

"This is a new mission given to you. Before White Fang completes the mission, you will be responsible for patrolling the area. Of course, sending a signal when encountering danger is always the most important, and intercepting the enemy is the second."

Although Nakamori spoke nicely, he always had an inexplicable feeling.

Kaguya looked at the map pointed by the other party, and he frowned slightly - the locations were all within the area controlled by Konoha, but the distance of 100 miles back and forth seemed beyond the ordinary patrol range, but Nakamoriye's answer was This is an uninhabited land. Extremely high temperatures, ubiquitous quicksand, and violent sandstorms make it almost impossible to cross. Therefore, although the patrol route looks long, it is actually very safe.

Patrolling in no-man's land sounds like an easy job, but there are also dangers lurking in it.

After that, Nakamori asked everyone to rest first and start the official mission tomorrow. Of course, if this mission is successful, the credit will be obtained by the entire third team, but given the nature of the senior management, it will probably be all directly on White Fang's head. .

The three people who were kicked out of the tent said goodbye to White Fang. They got along well these days, except that Yue Yong always hated people with such ambiguous positions. The most important thing was that it was difficult to touch him.

After everyone left the tent, Nakamori's eyes suddenly darkened.

In fact, the mission just now was not necessary, because as early as three days ago, Tsunade sent an order to all frontline positions to prepare to shrink the defense line to prevent the Suna ninja from gathering an army and defeating them one by one. However, White Fang and the others did not know about this when they first arrived, and they were defeated.

Taking advantage of the information gap, Nakamori planned to kill with a borrowed knife.

What Nakamori hasn't said yet is that this area has been monitored by the Suna Ninja for a long time. If there is any trouble, the Suna Ninja will know it immediately.

So White Fang didn't care. After all, their route was to bypass the forest and not go through the desert at all.

But the mission assigned to those three little guys was a patrol line of more than 100 miles, with complex and uneven terrain, accompanied by natural disasters and sandstorms that occurred from time to time...

"Adjutant, prepare to break camp after they set off and let the Sand Ninja occupy this area."

"Leave the three brats who are designated to find a way to kill them to the Suna Ninja."

Nakamori's tone was gloomy, and he smiled as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
