Shadow Stream of Leaf

"Master Hanyu, due to safety considerations and your current status, I don't think it's appropriate to act alone... Bringing Anbu's guards is a legitimate and responsible act."

After leaving Konoha, Hanyu and Sarutobi Kohei walked westward along the remote path.

Because the surrounding environment became more and more quiet, Sarutobi Xinghei couldn't help becoming nervous, and in the end, he still couldn't help but reminded him aloud.

"What is my identity? I'm not Hokage, so why do I need high-strength protection?" Hanyu retorted without thinking.

"But……"

Hanyu is not Hokage, there is nothing wrong with saying that, but the problem is that he should be treated like Hokage now.

"It's just a habit. I've always acted alone, and I'm not used to bringing so many people by my side... What's more, I brought along a dark, silent, ghost-like person like Anbu.

I'm definitely not comfortable with them, I'm even scared.

And I don't think I need any protection. If I bring too many people... maybe who will protect whom.

Taking a step back, I'm not acting alone now, isn't there still you, so the important task of protecting me is entrusted to you, Xingping. "

Hanyu showed an attitude of trusting Sarutobi Kohei's ability, turned around and patted the other person's shoulder.

Sarutobi Kohei, the poor man, was a little nervous, he felt like someone was ambushing him everywhere, but Hanyu was still putting pressure on him.

It's really good and bad.

"Don't worry, you don't need to be nervous, the probability of the enemy invading the hinterland of the Fire Nation itself is not high, and the chance of us encountering intruders is even lower, besides... I'm not bragging, in the entire Fire Nation, no one is more powerful than me." Know how to deal with a sneak attack."

That is indeed the case, Hanyu has rich experience in countering sneak attacks.

"..."

Well, Sarutobi Kohei seems to be "convinced"... In fact, it doesn't make sense for him to talk about these things now, and Anbu Guard can't be transformed out of thin air.

"Then Master Hanyu, what is the purpose of our trip to the west this time?"

To visit Tsunade? That's impossible, Hanyu has always been a man who distinguishes between public and private, and is impartial.

"To put it bluntly, a ninja like me who has nothing to come out and walk around is called 'strategic deterrence'; in layman's terms, it's going to scare Sand Yin...

The situation on the northern front is a bit embarrassing now, but at this time, we have to give priority to ensuring that there will be no problems on the western front, otherwise if any accident occurs, the burden that Konoha will face will immediately turn upside down times.

Therefore, although the war situation on the northern front is more severe, the strategic priority is that the western front has been raised... Anyway, the northern front has been rotted, so how bad can it continue to be? "

Hanyu went to the western front first, it was indeed to scare people, but I don’t know if his appearance can scare Sagakure... He seems to be more famous on Sagakure than Kirigakure, and Because of all the previous actions, maybe his appearance will stimulate Sha Yin in reverse, making the other party's actions more radical.

But in any case, deterrence will still be deterred, either when Hanyu arrives at the front line, or "deterrence" occurs after he arrives at the front line and does something.

…………

When Hanyu and Sarutobi Kohei went to the western front, they didn't use the fastest state, but they were still very efficient, so when the evening approached, they were already close to the border of the country of fire.

And sometimes there are some things that have to be admitted, such as some people have always been plagued by bad luck... He is not necessarily a bad old man, but everyone related to him will become a bad old man, so in the final analysis he is still a god of plague.

"Stop, can you hear something?"

Hanyu, who was advancing, suddenly stopped, and at the same time asked Sarutobi Kohei like this.

Sarutobi Kohei immediately stopped and turned his ears forward, but he didn't seem to hear anything except the winter wind.

"Master Hanyu, what happened?"

Hanyu just shook his head, did not continue to explain, he just ordered, "Be vigilant, we will speed up next."

The speed of travel increased suddenly, and as the two got closer to the border on the western front, the sound in the night changed from faintly audible to extremely clear—it was the sound of large-scale battles.

Judging from the location and distance, it is obvious that this is very likely that Sand Yin is actively attacking Konoha's western camp.

Because of the previously decided conservative austerity strategy, although Konoha's western camp is still in the territory of the Kingdom of Kawa, it is actually close to the Kingdom of Fire to the east, so if Konoha is taking the initiative to attack, then the battle There's no way it's going to happen in a place like this.

Furthermore, it is impossible for Konoha to take the initiative to attack in this period.

Hanyu stood on the top of a big tree, overlooking the battle ahead from a distance. The battlefield under the bleak night and moon looked unusually anxious, and the open flames lit on the ground from time to time were extinguished from time to time. But after all, more and more flames danced on the battlefield.

"Master Hanyu, it seems that the number of enemies is larger and the momentum is also abnormally high. What should we do next?" Sarutobi Kohei, who was standing behind Hanyu, saw that Hanyu had been silently observing the battlefield, but had no intention of taking any action. So he couldn't help but asked.

He was a little restless, and was anxious for Konoha's side who was suffering from the attack and battle damage.

"Look, my timing is so perfect every time I come to the battlefield. This is unlucky, and it's a bit of a targeted treatment... Don't worry, am I identifying a valuable target among the enemy? A large group of sand hidden ninjas participated in the attack, and the commander might be Kazekage himself."

However, before Hanyu could find the most valuable target, something strange happened on the battlefield.

An indescribably huge chakra swept across the area, and then a pale golden light burst out from Konoha's battle line, and then, a huge object suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

To be honest, although this kind of outbreak is very rare, experienced ninjas should understand that it is very likely that Konoha's side put a tailed beast on the battlefield, but... when the appearance of this tailed beast really appeared, The sand hidden ninja in front of him was still dumbfounded in an instant.

Soaring high in the air were the bodies of eight pale serpents, and then they were covered with golden chakra coats, and at the same time, there were pointed animal ears that did not match at all on the heads of each serpent.

Shrinking down along the body of the big snake, there are actually four claws supporting this huge monster. From the rear, apart from a thick snake tail, there are actually nine fox tails growing wantonly... In terms of numbers, This is really a "Ten Tails".

This situation, not to mention the enemy, even Hanyu was taken aback for a while.

Yamata no Orochi + Nine Lamas?

Has Cthulhu culture really become popular in the ninja world recently?

The eight snake heads began to neigh immediately, and the ear-piercing screams filled every corner of the battlefield, and when most of the enemies were distracted by this, the heads of the big snake fluctuated up and down, lined up left and right, and then opened together.

The black balls gathered in front of the slender and dangerous snake eyes. Judging from Hanyu's rich experience, each ball was smaller than normal, but there were so many of them!

The next moment, huge light clusters burst out one after another in the array of Shaying.

The fierce offensive of the enemy seems to be destroyed just like that...

On this battlefield, it seems that there is no need for Hanyu to make slow moves anymore.

Still standing on the top of the tree drinking the cold wind? It's useless.

Hanyu obediently climbed down from the tree.

Orochimaru's furious behavior doesn't seem to fit his personality, but... even with a name like "Oshemaru", his personality has become more and more indifferent, but Orochimaru is still a human being after all.

No matter how cool he is, he also has his own feelings.

A Sand Hidden Ninja who was blown to the edge of the battlefield by the blast wave, but survived, was crawling on the ground dragging a long trail of blood.

But crawling, he saw a pair of feet appearing in front of him.

Reluctantly raising his head, the enemy saw Hanyu's face, and the next moment, he seemed to recognize Hanyu, so...then he started to turn around and crawl back.

For some reason, Hanyu felt that the other party's behavior was very rude, and he seemed to be offended.

Hanyu drew out the long knife at his waist, and walked forward slowly.

"I'm sorry, my child is actually feeling uncomfortable, but he probably can't express his personality.

Who can tell whom about the suffering of life? "
