The Steady King of Konoha

The situation developed just as Hayama had imagined. After several rounds of testing, the Sand Ninja completely figured out the distribution of Konoha's forces in the mountain. Then, the fixed-point breakthrough turned into a concentrated annihilation.

A swaying red flare was shot into the air by the dying Konoha ninja, making it clearly visible within a radius of 100 kilometers.

Ye Shan looked up at the signal flare, letting the raindrops fall on his face more and more. In his eyes, this was one of the only two signals agreed upon before the mission began. It meant that the enemy had completely broken through the defense line, and of course it also meant that the four

The death of a famous Konoha ninja.

"What to do next?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.

Although Uchiha Fugaku is the captain of this team and has absolute command power, he will seek Hayama's opinion on almost all decisions. After all, Hayama has far more mission experience than him.

Ye Shan stretched out his hand and wiped his face, wiping off the rainwater from his face. He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and asked the same question: "Do you dare to take a gamble?"

"What are you betting on?" Uchiha Fugaku asked doubtfully.

"We bet on whether Hatake Sakumo-sama can eat the enemies behind us in the past three days." Hayama said calmly.

Uchiha Fugaku took out the waterproof map and looked at it with the faint light of the flashlight. Several marked locations quickly formed a three-dimensional map in Uchiha Fugaku's mind. After a while, he put away the map and said, "I don't think it's possible.

."

It's not that Uchiha Fugaku underestimated Konoha White Fang, but ninjas have long legs and can always run away if they can't be beaten. If you want to completely annihilate the enemy, you must at least have twice as many people as the enemy, otherwise don't even think about it.

Hayama then asked: "Where will the remaining enemies go?"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned deeply, and after some deliberation he said, "Will we join up with this enemy or lurk down to regain the right to move?"

Hayama nodded. After figuring out the enemy's intentions, everything became easier to handle. Their next task was to move closer to Hatake Sakumo and try to concentrate all their strength to wipe out the reinforced Suna ninja, and truly achieve the mission.

victory.

With Hatake Sakumo's methods, three days were enough for him to defeat the enemies in the rear and hardly pose a threat. Although the mission process was somewhat tortuous, the result was the same, that is, group operations were indispensable. Therefore, Hayama could not understand Hatake.

According to Kisaku Shigeru's approach, group operations are inevitable. Why should we actively disperse our own forces to engage in a blocking battle, just to save a few ninjas?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Hayama simply took off his white windbreaker, folded it and put it into the seal scroll, revealing the Konoha-style vest he was wearing. The rain quickly wet the vest, and the chill invaded Hayama's body, making him unable to help himself.

The movement of chakra resists.

"Next, let's return to Lord White Fang as soon as possible. There is no point in staying here." Uchiha Fugaku also took off his conspicuous white windbreaker and said to Hayama and the others.

Ye Shan moved his hands and feet and nodded calmly. They had no other choice but to return as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded by the enemy.

A bolt of lightning suddenly lit up, illuminating the ground very briefly. Amidst the deafening thunder, the four people began to retreat.

Hatake Sakumo's location is easy to determine, and you only need to follow the migration route of civilians to find it. In the second half of the night, Hayama and others successfully found the large team, but the current situation on Konoha's side is not good.

Of the more than a hundred people who set off three days ago, only forty people have now gathered around Hatake Sakumo, and their auras are disordered. They have obviously encountered a large-scale battle.

Hatake Sakumo stood in the rain with a cold face, quietly watching the slowly moving migration team, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hayama didn't ask any further questions. He found a protruding rock and sat down, took out the dry food that was still safe and started to eat it. How to make the decision was Hatake Sakumo's business. He only needed to try to maintain his condition for the battle.

Just be prepared. Hatake Sakumo's ability to reach his current position relies not only on force, but also on his excellent commanding ability.

A qualified commander will make the optimal decision based on the unpredictable battlefield situation, but there is only one choice left for Hatake Sakumo, and that is to concentrate his forces and fight the decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Suna Ninja.

Hatake Sakumo was extremely unwilling to go head-to-head with the Suna Ninja for the sake of the people who originally belonged to the Land of Wind. In his opinion, it was natural for Konoha ninjas to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the village, but to die for the benefit of the daimyo was very unacceptable.

It was worth it. But thinking of Hiruzen Sarutobi's tough face and aggressive attitude, he couldn't say no, which made him entangled.

By dawn, about eighty ninjas had gathered around Hatake Sakumo, and the remaining twenty or so would probably never come back.

Konishi Kakuei's left arm was wrapped in a bandage. He looked around at his companions and said solemnly: "Gather!"

The Konoha ninjas stood in four rows. Everyone knew what was going to happen next, but they were not afraid at all. Instead, they stared at the wet Hatake Sakumo with some fanaticism, waiting for him to give orders.

"Leave one team behind to continue the migration mission, and the others will follow me to kill the Sand Ninja!"

This simple sentence contained soaring murderous intent, which made the Konoha ninjas feel excited. Since they chose to follow Sakumo Hatake to perform the mission, everyone was prepared to die in battle, so naturally there would be no fear.

Some are just passionate and ambitious.

.......

Only twenty kilometers away from the migrating team, the Konoha ninjas met the Suna ninja who had already set up their formation. Ninjas from both sides, at least the Hundred Battles Chunin level, would start a fight. The winning side would complete the mission.

The losing side will simply flee in defeat.

The rain had already turned into a downpour, which was extremely rare in winter. Hayama watched the white breath he exhaled quickly dissipate before his eyes, and his whole body entered a fighting state.

There was no trash talk before the battle, nor was there any meaningless test of combined ninjutsu. Nearly two hundred ninjas from both sides collided fiercely amidst roars and dense raindrops.

In just an instant, the ninjas who collided suffered casualties. The screams, roars, and clashes of weapons covered up the majestic sound of raindrops. It seemed that the only sound left in the world was the sound of the heart beating crazily in the ninja's chest.

.

Hayama activated the secret technique of lightning escape and shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, mercilessly breaking up a team of sand ninja formations, while the rest of the team cleanly killed the sand ninjas who were disrupted.

It has to be said that it is a blessing to have a cheating teammate like the Sharingan. The powerful illusion that can be released without sealing and the extremely accurate concealed weapon throwing technique caused the Suna Ninja to die in an instant with a sharp blade.

Down.

The performance of Uchiha Fugaku and others was naturally captured by the Suna Ninja. A team that can efficiently kill one's own ninjas will undoubtedly rewrite the trend of small-scale battles to a certain extent. At present, several Suna Ninjas who rely on their own strength are suppressed.

Come up.

"Wind Escape·Hang the Net!"

A net composed of wind attribute chakra was directed towards Hayama. Judging from the momentum and scope of the ninjutsu, this was a combination ninjutsu, and the performer was at least two jounin.

Hayama's eyes were slightly cold. He was very familiar with the fighting methods of the ninjas of Sunagakure Village. Behind the large-scale ninjutsu, there must be a backhand. Sure enough, a weird-looking puppet shot a large number of poisonous needles from above him, and

The wind net formed a semicircular encirclement, roaring and smashing over.

Hayama, who did not dare to rashly choose to break out and was too far away from his teammates, raised his right hand and slapped his chest hard. The sealed special fire attribute chakra surged out and turned into violent flames under Hayama's precise control.

A wall of fire stood in front of him, perfectly blocking the Sand Ninja's attack.

Looking at the swollen wall of fire, Hayama narrowed his eyes and stepped hard on the muddy ground with his right foot. However, he forced out a hidden Sand Ninja, and then penetrated his body in his stunned eyes.

‘Bang!’

The smoke generated by the shadow clone exploded. Taking this opportunity, Hayama swayed and returned to the team formation.

Although the battle didn't take long, the violent profession of ninja completely changed the surrounding terrain. Blood mixed with rain flowed on the jagged ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

On this small battlefield, death occurs every moment, but the frequency gradually slows down.
