Escape From Konoha

Seeing Sakumo was at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and the three of Shiroishi arrived at the Konoha camp on the front line of the Fire Country.

There is basically no change here from before. If there is a change, it is that the atmosphere here is more tense than before.

However, in the last mission to cut off the supply of sand hidden, although the three of Shiraishi's mission "failed" due to the trouble at the root, Sakumo's side completed the mission very beautifully.

He destroyed Shayin's important supply point by himself, causing Shayin's offensive strength to become weak these days.

"In other words, as long as you survive this winter, does Sandyin mean that he will be self-defeating?"

Shiraishi asked.

It is now the beginning of October, and the weather is slowly getting cooler, especially in December, when the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Rivers enter the season of cold winter.

Sandy Ninja doesn't have enough supplies to survive this winter, and when early spring comes, the situation will become extremely unfavorable for Sandy.

"Generally speaking, that's right, but whether Sa Yin will really retreat, we are not sure on our side, we can only say that it is very likely."

Sakumo nodded.

In the case of insufficient supplies, launching the last fierce attack to open the gap into the country of fire is also a way out for Sandyin.

After all, it was the third Kazekage who took the lead this time, so he had to be fully prepared.

The more this is the case, the more careful you have to be, so that the sand ninjas cannot take advantage of it.

"Then what is the task assigned by our team?"

"It's still the same as before, looking for the lonely sand ninja troop to annihilate and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield from the side."

Sakumo replied.

He is very aware of his limits as a ninja. He does not have any large-scale ninjutsu attacks, and all his strength comes from taijutsu and swordsmanship.

Therefore, he will have a headache for the enemy who has a large area of ​​ninjutsu attacks, but on the other hand, his taijutsu and swordsmanship are all at their peak.

If there is no way to keep up with his speed and lack of defenses against White Fang's dagger, for him, killing the enemy is only a knife or a few knives.

The three of Shiraishi are also very clear about this.

He is a ninja with obvious flaws and advantages.

It is suitable for small-scale battles, but in large-scale battles, it will limit his strength.

Because he has more things to think about on the frontal battlefield, avoiding the Kunai and the detonating talisman that flew over from nowhere, and if he encounters many companions who are in danger, whether to save them or not is also a question worthy of serious consideration.

In this way, his swordsmanship will become hesitant and dull, and he will not be able to exert 100% of his power.

Sakumo has nothing to complain about.

Ninjas are assigned jobs that suit them due to their different abilities and personalities.

He is only suitable for this kind of action, just like Sannin can't do his job, and he can't do Sannin's job either.

"You just arrived here today. Let's take a day off here. We will start our mission tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Before Sakumo left, he said something to Shiraishi: "By the way, I forgot to say, Shiraishi, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the medical camp to see. Right now, the medical ninjas are still in short supply here on the front line. Take the pressure off there.”

"I understand."

Shiraishi nodded and walked towards the medical camp.

It is true to relieve the pressure of the medical team, but Shiraishi knows how much pressure can be relieved, it is only Sakumo's words of comfort.

After all, treating patients is the duty of a medical ninja, and Shiraishi has no reason to refuse.

However, in Shiraishi's view, Konoha still has the defect of insufficient number of medical ninjas, and it is entirely due to his own cognition and execution strategy that lead to such a result.

Konoha attaches great importance to medical education, and it is also because of the medical reform proposed by Tsunade a few years ago that he began to train medical ninjas.

But in fact, Konoha didn't pay too much attention to medical reform at the beginning.

In their eyes, instead of dedicating resources to medical ninjas with weak combat effectiveness, it is better to cultivate more powerful ninjas and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the village.

However, after experiencing the extremely tragic War of the Rain Kingdom, it was discovered that the resources were tilted towards the powerful ninjas, and the mortality rate remained high, and only then did the medical ninjutsu courses be enforced in the ninja school.

Shiraishi is the first batch of medical ninja experimental class members in the medical reform. He is very aware of how slack Konoha is in training medical ninjas.

If Tsunade hadn't proposed this reform... Maybe Konoha wouldn't pay attention to the profession of medical ninja until now.

(PS: In the original book, I seem to recall that when Tsunade proposed the medical reform, all the high-level officials including the three generations of Hokage and Shangnin were not interested in Tsunade’s proposal. Only Kato Dan supported Tsunade, which may be greedy. hand body...)

When he came to the camp where the medical team was located, he could hear the pained cries of the wounded, and the smell of disinfectant and blood mixed together and penetrated into Bai Shi's nostrils.

Coupled with the limited range of the camp, some of the injured could only lie outside for scribbled treatment.

Priority is given to rescuing seriously injured ninjas, and then treating moderate to mild injuries. This is the rule of the Konoha Medical Corps.

Here, Shiraishi also saw Tsunade, but he did not reminisce about the past, where Tsunade was performing medical ninjutsu to treat the injured.

Shiraishi explained his intention to the deputy commander here, and the other party was very happy. One more medical ninja at this time means that he can rescue a few more injured people.

Especially the other party is the medical ninja specially equipped for Sakumo's team. He is the first batch of medical experimental class students in the ninja school. No matter how you look at medical ninjutsu, it can't be too bad.

So, he immediately assigned Shiraishi more than ten moderately and mildly injured people, as well as some medical supplies, and asked him to go to work quickly.

Shiraishi walked to an open space, where there was a floor covering, and there were many injured Konoha ninjas lying there, about dozens of wounded.

Along with Shiraishi, there are three medical ninjas, the oldest is in his thirties, and the youngest is a few years older than Shiraishi.

Even if they were both medical ninjas, they didn't have the slightest communication, or perhaps there was no time at all.

Shiraishi devoted himself to using the healing technique, and handled the wounds for these wounded with skillful and standardized movements.

During the treatment process, Shiraishi will also communicate with the injured to relieve the pressure in their hearts and better treat them.

"It's already fine, I just need to rest for two days."

"I know you. You are a member of the Sakumo Joinin team, right? It's really a powerful medical ninjutsu."

The healed Konoha ninja praised Shiraishi in a kind tone.

"No, compared to the seniors, I still have many shortcomings."

For this kind of compliment, Shiraishi just smiled modestly.

After all, compared to a medical ninja of Tsunade's level, he really has a lot to improve.

Starting in the morning, Shiraishi didn't finish his medical work until it was dark in the evening.

Because most of the tents were requisitioned by the medical troops, even so, there were still some wounded who were not assigned to tents, so when Shiraishi came back to join Ruri and Ayane, he was only assigned an open space that could be used for rest.

At five o'clock in the morning the next morning, it was dark and the three of Shiraishi had already woken up.

Some Konoha ninjas are still sleeping, and many Konoha ninjas patrol the outer circle of the camp, mainly sensing ninjas and ninjas from the Hinata clan.

When Sakumo came to look for them, Shiraishi and the three had prepared properly, including ration pills, antidote, kunai, detonating charms, sealed scrolls, medical kits, etc.

As the only auxiliary medical staff in the team, Shiraishi's job was to equip as many supplies as possible, so he also stuffed emergency food and water in his backpack.

The next mission of Sakumo's team can be said to have no mission content.

If you encounter an enemy, you will destroy it, if you encounter a companion, you will provide support. If you are lucky enough to encounter Sand Ninja's transport convoy, you will destroy it.

It's like Sandyin sent elite troops to make trouble in the country of fire before, to distract Konoha's attention, and even make the frontline Konoha ninjas dare not move around casually.

Sakumo's team's mission this time is the same.

Go deep into the country of Chuan, and even in the country of wind, to carry out sabotage work behind enemy lines, and let the Sakumo team deal with the situation according to the situation.

The above gave the Sakumo team considerable freedom, which also meant that this mission was very dangerous.

Not to mention Shiraishi and Ayane, Ruri was already eager to try it.

After the last battle, her ninjutsu, taijutsu, and illusion have grown a lot, and her writing wheel has also been upgraded to the form of a three-goat jade.

This kind of growth is obvious, and Sakumo is also very satisfied with it. He thinks that if he wants to deal with the current Ruri, he can't take it lightly.

◎

Mid-November.

The Kingdom of Rivers, the Sandy Camp.

Three generations of Kazekage looked at the information sent by the people below with a gloomy face. In the past month, there have been frequent reports of the Sand Ninja team performing patrol missions in the country of Sichuan, and they have been annihilated by the enemy.

"Konoha White Fang!"

Sandai Fengying slammed his fist on the table, his eyes burning with anger.

Even if you don't need to look at the information on the intelligence, you know who did such a thing.

Except for Konoha Baiya, none of the Jōnin that Konoha can dispatch now has such a terrifying speed of annihilation.

The speed was so fast that it seemed like a tornado. Wherever it went, no grass grew and it was uprooted.

Whether it's the Shangnin team, the Chunin team, or even the Genin team, all of them are cut off without leaving any mercy.

Except for the famous White Fang, Sandai Kazekage could not think of any other Konoha Junin who could do this.

His most trusted puppet troops, the two elites, were also annihilated in the Land of Fire by the team led by White Fang, and even the corpses are still in Konoha's hands.

The power that Sandyin can mobilize is not much higher than that of Konoha, the only variable is his Kazekage, and the trump card that has never been used, Morizuru.

The poisonous attack strategy created by Sandyin was defeated by the Konoha ninja Tsunade.

He had no problem fighting head-on, but Sand Ninja's overall quality was worse than that of Konoha Ninjas, and with the shortage of medical ninjas in the camp, the death rate was a little higher than Konoha's.

Now that there's the issue of White Fang harassing the rear, Konoha's next step...

Sure enough, it didn't take long before a Jōnin came in to report that there was a change in the Konoha camp. Nearly a thousand ninjas set out from the camp and headed here from the front.

However, the moment they entered the border of the River Country, Konoha's thousand troops stopped moving, as if they were just going out for a parade.

But Kazekage Sandai understands that Konoha intends to oppress Sandyin on the frontline, creating opportunities for the White Fang team to attack.

If Sandyin desperately pursues and kills the White Fang team, Konoha's large force will come up from the front.

"Is that guy who shares blessings still not agreeing?"

Three generations of Kazekage looked at a sand top Shinobi with a solemn expression.

"I don't agree. No matter how I persuade him, I still don't agree to use Shouhe's power. He said that I hope you, Mr. Fengying, will value peace and stop the war for the sake of Sa Yin."

The name Junin replied.

"Is it for Sa Yin to stop the war?"

Three generations of Kazekage turned his attention to the direction of the land of fire.

The land there is richer than the land of wind, and there are many talented ninjas in Konoha, White Fang, Sannin, Kato Dan...

The ninja clan includes the three clans of pigs, deer and butterflies, as well as other famous ninjas, Sarutobi, Shimura, Inuzuka, Oil Maid and so on.

What is even more terrifying is that Uchiha and Hinata are also among Konoha, the most well-preserved ancient bloodstained giants in the ninja world.

With such a strong lineup, the thought of this, the three generations of Kazekage felt a heavy heart.

Now, if Konoha hasn't recovered from the war in the Land of Rain, he will loot resources in the Land of Fire. After Konoha recovers, it will be extremely difficult to reap the benefits.

Because Konoha is getting stronger and stronger, it has caused enough pressure on the surrounding countries and the ninja village.

If it goes on like this, as Konoha gets stronger and stronger, there will be less and less space for Shayin to live.

We can only continue to cut military expenditures and the number of ninjas. I can only watch Konoha's ninjas increase in number, and military expenditures become more and more sufficient, which is unique in the ninja world.

By then, Sandyin will be completely lingering under Konoha.

Kazuki Sandai didn't want to see Shayin like that, no matter how strong Konoha was, he would still fight.

As long as the power of Konoha can be weakened, Sandyin can breathe a sigh of relief, and he can see the hope of prosperity.

If there is no war, there is not even a glimmer of hope in sight.

Therefore, the idea of ​​'harmony is the most valuable' of the Shouhe people is righteous from a personal point of view, but between countries, there is no justice or evil, only the strong and the weak, and only the gains and losses.

"He is not suitable for this ninja world. Although Shouhe is very peaceful in his body, if he does not actively stimulate it, there is no risk of running away. But it also means that Sandyin will not be able to use this weapon. Weapons cannot be used, this is for The greatest tragedy of war. It seems that a new person needs to be replaced..."

Hearing Sandai Kazekage's words, that Jounin's face was startled.

"Master Fengying, this..."

"Don't worry, I'm just mentioning it casually. After all, the transfer of the tailed beast is very important and must be decided through a high-level meeting."

Sandai Kazekage said this, but he couldn't make the Jounin feel at ease.

"Then what should we do now?"

The name Junin is very helpless.

This is the most difficult place for Sandyin.

Compared with Konoha, it is not only the overall quality gap, but in terms of top ninjas, it is not as good as Konoha.

Just a single Konoha White Fang gave them a lot of headaches. The sand ninjas were all terrified to leave such a dangerous ninja behind to destroy.

Recently, many sand ninjas are afraid to take on missions like patrolling the country of the river.

Facing that White Fang, many Sand Ninjas had already begun to feel terrified.

"I already have a countermeasure. This is a personal letter from Iwagakushi Onogi to me, and he will help us in secret."

"Is that Tuying? To be honest, I don't recommend Kazuki-sama to cooperate with that Tuying."

"This is our only chance."

Sandai Fengying said.

Having said that, he sat down on the desk and drafted two letters.

After writing the letter, he handed it to the next of confidants, Joinin, and said, "One letter will be sent to Konoha's commander Orochimaru, and the other will be sent to Konoha White Fang by the patrol team."

"This is…"

The name Kamunin looked at Sandai Kazekage in disbelief.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Despite his doubts, the name Junin went down and carried out this mission.

"It's all for the sake of Sakura... Konoha..."

The three generations of Fengying murmured faintly, and a sharp aura passed through his eyes.

◎

The western region of the country of Sichuan.

At the junction of the land of wind and the land of rivers.

Sand Shinobi, who supports the river country from the country of the wind, will pass by this road.

It was here that the four members of Sakumo's team carried out their annihilation strategy.

Destroy all the sand ninjas in front of you without leaving one behind.

After annihilating a team, he understands to get out, never drags the line, finds a hidden place to hide, and then continues to annihilate after a period of time.

Sakumo, who has been famous for a long time, aside, Ruri and Ayane's strengths are also at the level of Jōnin, and they also have a special bloodline limit. The destructive power brought by the three is astonishing.

Shiraishi only needs some small assistance at the back of the team, such as poisonous smoke bombs and throwing detonators.

During non-combat, he uses local materials to make medicines, such as ration pills and antidote. After all, Sand Ninja's puppet master weapons are highly poisonous, and it is also dangerous to accidentally wipe them.

In this way, the persistent combat capability of the Sakumo squad is increased.

This morning, another sand ninja team of six was annihilated.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but since he accepted this mission more than a month ago, he has been fighting, fighting, and constantly dying at the hands of their team, and there are hundreds of them.

When you are lucky, you will encounter a convoy entering the country of Chuan from the Land of Wind, burn the few materials in Shayin, and then use the agile mobility to create chaos with Liuli's large-scale fire escape technique. Run away to avoid being surrounded by large troops.

If there are fewer people chasing, they will be annihilated by their team in reverse.

If there are more chasing ninjas, use the super-high mobility to take the opponent around in the country of rivers.

Unless Sayin dispatches more than a few hundred ninjas at one time, including more than 20 junin, they will never be able to encircle them in the country of rivers.

If the three generations of Kazekage really had this determination, and divided so many active forces, Sand Hidden in the frontal battlefield, would never have beaten Konoha, and the loss would be even greater.

Shiraishi deftly rummaged through the dead body on top of the dead sand.

Scrolls that may record ninjutsu and data, detonating charms for fighting, and ration pills for recovery, all of them are taken away until the backpack can no longer be loaded.

Shiraishi couldn't help but sighed that he followed Sakumo, and the task was so smooth.

The three of them above faced the hordes of Sand Ninjas and could only flee everywhere.

Even though his strength has become stronger now, he does not dare to confront Sandyin's large army head-on.

Now that there is a team led by Sakumo, small-scale troops, as long as there are no more than a hundred people, go directly to fight.

If there are more than 100 people, they will adopt a wandering strategy, and take the sand ninjas around in circles.

To chase or not to chase, this choice must be very tangled for sand ninjas.

If you catch up, you will most likely die. If you don't catch up, the Sakumo squad will continue to sabotage, constantly attacking the Sand Ninja patrols in the Kingdom of Rivers and attacking their transport convoys.

And with Ayane's white eyes, you don't have to worry about rushing into battle. When encountering a large-scale army, you only need to break through from the weakest point.

In terms of ability to break through, with Sakumo taking the lead in the charge, it can be said that he can come and go freely within the territory of the country of Sichuan.

"Okay, the search is almost done here."

The six corpses on the white stone ground groped for a clean slate.

There is a total of one upper ninja, three chunin, and two lower ninjas.

In a confrontation, Ruri and Ayane were both wiped out before Sakumo could make a move.

Sakumo has the biggest credit, but without the help of the three of them, it would not have been so smooth, at least the problem of continuous supply would be a headache.

Sakumo nodded and started to move.

The three of Shiraishi followed closely behind, moving very quickly.

Running like this at the border between the country of the river and the country of the wind.

When you are tired, take a rest, eat dry food, drink some water, and then go on the road.

Until about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ayane's white-eyed vision saw a four-person sand ninja team.

Sakumo did not hesitate, and proceeded to annihilate this sand ninja team according to the usual rhythm.

"strangeness."

Ayane said something.

"What's strange?"

Liuli looked at her.

"There should be one person in this team who is a perception ninja. He sensed our existence, but he didn't escape, and he wasn't ready to fight..."

Hearing Ayane say this, the other three frowned slightly.

"It's as if they were waiting for us to pass by."

Ayane said unsurely.

"Are there any traps lying around?" Sakumo asked. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Ayane took a closer look and shook her head.

Not to mention traps, these sand ninjas didn't even call Chakra, and they didn't plan to use long-range ninjutsu to attack.

Just as he was about to approach, one of them, Sand Shinobi, left the team and rushed towards him.

At Ayane's gesture, Sakumo stopped, and Shiroishi and Ruri also stopped.

It didn't take long for that Sand Ninja to arrive in front of them in the form of an instant appearance.

He didn't do anything, just took out a sealed letter from the ninja kit.

"Your Excellency White Fang, this is a letter from our Lord Fengying to you, please take a look."

The other party looked like he was doing business.

Ayane nodded to Sakumo, there was no poison in this letter, and no chakra flow, just a normal letter.

Sakumo walked over, took the letter from the sand ninja, opened it and glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I know, I will personally confirm this matter."

The sand ninja nodded and disappeared from Sakumo.

"Sakumo-sensei, this letter is..."

Shiraishi and the others gathered around, curious about the contents of the letter.

Sakumo didn't hide it, and spread the letter to Shiraishi and the others.

At the top of the letter, there are only three words - reconciliation letter.

This is the third Kazekage of Sand Ninja, ready to stop the war with Konoha.

"Is this letter credible?"

"I don't know, let's see what Orochimaru has to say. If you agree, the war will end here. If you don't agree, we will continue our mission. Until the official order is received, the mission will be temporarily interrupted, and there is no need to attack Sand Shinobi again."

After Sakumo finished speaking, his deep eyes looked into the distance.
