Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

Obito, Rin, Kakashi, Guy, and others were all born during the Second Shinobi World War. The war has been going on for several years now, so their ages seem to match up!

(Many readers use Minato as an age reference, and here is Kishimoto's new work "Minato's Story". This is Minato during the Second Shinobi World War, when he was already able to face two Iwagakure Jinchuriki. He is definitely not eight years old.)

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a figure rushed in, breaking the joyful atmosphere.

"Team Thirteen, I just received instructions from your superiors that you need to proceed to the next war zone as soon as possible."

The crowd, who had been talking and laughing loudly just moments before, fell silent instantly.

“…Okay, I understand.” Hiroshi Nohara took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice.

The person from the communications team nodded and acknowledged, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone in Group Thirteen."

"Ah~~"

Everyone sighed and reluctantly left the tent, feeling utterly exhausted, except for Chiba, whose chakra had almost fully recovered.

This made him truly feel the power of the Thousand Hands bloodline.

……

After settling his team members in, Hiroshi Nohara approached Orochimaru and respectfully said, "Lord Orochimaru, please send someone to escort us to the next war zone."

Orochimaru nodded slightly: "I have arranged three teams, and they will escort you all the way there."

Upon hearing this, Hiroshi Nohara looked troubled: "Only three squads?"

Unlike when they arrived, when they were still within Konoha's control, they were about to venture deep into the battlefield, where the level of danger would increase exponentially!

The three teams are probably...

"This is all the manpower I can muster. Get ready and set off," Orochimaru replied calmly.

As the commander of this war zone, his priority should be the overall situation of the war in this zone, rather than the safety of a group of medical ninjas, even if one of them is a genius he has his eye on.

Because geniuses don't die easily; they only become stronger with each setback. If someone dies easily, then they're not a genius.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Knowing there was no room for maneuver, Hiroshi Nohara had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

……

Escorted by three Konoha squads, the medical ninjas of Team 13 set off again, moving swiftly through a dense forest, heading non-stop to the next battle zone.

"Phew, I wonder if I'll run into any interesting people in the next place."

With the system in hand, Chiba's initial apprehension has subsided, and his mindset is quietly changing.

"Damn Chiba!"

Behind Chiba, a venomous gaze was fixed on him.

Wuhan Iron and Steel Group is furious!

His promotion to deputy leader of Group Thirteen was a foregone conclusion, but Chiba's appearance has completely dashed his hopes of advancement.

To secure his position as deputy team leader, he was extremely cautious and timid, always afraid of offending his superiors.

But tonight, not only did Chiba steal his thunder, but he also made Nohara, the group leader, and Orochimaru dislike him... Is there any chance he can still get the position of deputy group leader?!

"I wish Chiba were dead!"

After hearing the old man's story, a wicked thought arose in Wu Gang's mind.

If Chiba were still alive, he certainly wouldn't have gotten the deputy team leader position, but if the other party is dead, perhaps...

"Pause!"

Just then, a ninja in front suddenly raised his arm, signaling the group to stop.

"What's wrong?"

Hiroshi Nohara asked in a low voice, one hand already resting on the katana at his waist.

As the leader of a group, Hiroshi Nohara naturally possesses considerable combat capabilities.

"Hmm, something's not right. It's too quiet around here," the ninja who stopped the group said with a serious expression.

"Too quiet?"

Only after being reminded by the other party did Hiroshi Nohara realize the truth.

Yes, I don't know when it started, but all the chirping of insects and birds around us has disappeared, leaving only the rustling of the wind through the branches.

"Damn it, it's those Sunagakure bastards again."

A Konoha ninja spotted the thin thread hidden in the grass, spat on the ground, and said viciously.

"I won't make the same mistake twice!"

"Brothers, prepare to meet the enemy!"

The three Konoha squads quickly dispersed, protecting the medical ninjas of Team 13 behind them, and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

"The number of enemies may be quite large."

After making a rough assessment, one of the leading ninjas turned to look at the group.

"We will do our best to protect you, but if we get tied down, we may not be able to take care of each and every one of you. Good luck to you all."

"This……"

The medical ninjas of Team Thirteen all changed their expressions, and even Chiba began to have doubts.

Although he has received many awards, he has only learned how to save lives, not how to kill...

"Don't panic, everyone!"

Hiroshi Nohara shouted and commanded, "As we practiced before, form pairs back to back, watch out for your front and back, and be wary of enemies crossing the line!"

"Yes, Chief Nohara!"

Under Hiroshi Nohara's organization, the group managed to mentally prepare themselves, and one by one they frantically pulled out the weapons they usually used as decorations and began to pair up with the people around them.

"...The opportunity has arrived!"

Wu Gang's heart was practically leaping out of his throat.

He suppressed his excitement, jogged over to Chiba's side, and tried to keep his expression natural, saying, "Chiba, how about we team up?"

Chiba glanced at Takeo, nodded, and gave a simple, honest smile: "Alright, Senior Takeo, I'll be counting on you for a while."

"Heh, what an idiot!"

Seeing Chiba's unguarded state, Takeo sneered inwardly.

Chapter 7 The Pain of Chiba

With his back to Chiba, Wu Gang pulled a scalpel from the medical kit, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Wind Release: Wind Cut Technique!"

However, before Wu Gang could figure out how to kill Chiba at the hands of the "Sunagakure Ninja", a series of whistling wind blades attacked them from the dense forest.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The two Konoha ninjas reacted quickly, their hands forming hand seals in a blur. With a slap on the ground, two thick, circular earthen walls rose up, blocking the path of the incoming wind blades.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The moment the wind blades were blocked by the earth wall, more than a dozen Sand Village ninjas leaped out of the dense forest and launched a fierce charge against the Leaf Village.

Clang!

As the distance between them closed, the ninjas on both sides drew their weapons simultaneously and engaged in close combat.

Ding!

Blades clashed, sparks flew, and in just one exchange, three or four people from both sides fell, never to rise again.

The Sand Village had a numerical advantage and tore through the Konoha ninja's defensive line in the blink of an eye. Three or four Sand Village ninjas ignored everything and charged straight at the medical ninjas behind them.

"You bastards, you're not allowed to touch my team members!"

Hiroshi Nohara roared, gripped his katana tightly, and strode forward to meet a Sand Village ninja.

"Chiba, watch out behind you!"

Wu Gang kept his back against Chiba's, preventing him from retreating, until a Sand Village ninja rushed over. Only then did he instantly step aside and shout in feigned panic.

"Ok?"

Chiba turned slightly to the side and saw a Sand Village ninja wielding a long sword rushing towards his location, only a few steps away!

"...Ugh, this is so annoying! I've never learned how to kill anyone!" Chiba thought to himself, somewhat frustrated.

Across from Chiba, the Sand Village ninja glanced at the white armband on Chiba's arm and sneered.

"What a pity. If it were any other time, I might have spared your lives, but now, you'd better just die!"

He had no trouble dealing with a few ordinary medical ninjas, especially this kid in front of him, who looked like a greenhorn who had never experienced combat.

Other medical ninjas at least carry a sword to pretend, but this kid panicked so much that he forgot to draw his sword and just stood there dumbfounded.

Even if you handed the knife to this kid, he probably wouldn't have the guts to use it to stab someone!

"Sand Hidden Style: First Fierce Wind Slash!"

The Sand Village ninja took a step forward and instantly appeared beside Chiba, his long sword slashing towards Chiba like a whirlwind, intending to cut him in half at the waist.

"……Um?!!"

With a swift strike, the Sand Village ninja was startled; his sword didn't feel like it had struck anything solid... His sure-fire strike had missed its mark?!

"Uchiha Style: Shadow Dance Steps".

The moment the Sand Village ninja got close, Chiba lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her figure landed gracefully and elegantly behind the opponent like a ghost. An uninformed person might think that the two were dancing together.

"not good!!!"

Although Chiba wasn't holding a sword, the Sand Village ninja instinctively sensed danger, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

However, before he could turn around, a small, delicate hand had already pierced through his chest.

"Chakra—Scalpel!"
