Sanada complained.

"Because the main characters always appear at the very end. Besides, Orochimaru-sama hasn't even arrived yet, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"you."

Seeing that his two disciples were about to start arguing, Matsushita quickly stopped them. There were too many ninjas gathered here, and Matsushita Hokuto didn't want to lose face here.

"This battle is very different from the past. It will no longer be conducted in small teams; the teams will be scattered."

"Kumiko, you will be traveling with the medical unit."

"And you, Sanada, have been assigned to the reconnaissance unit. You need to be careful in everything you do, as the reconnaissance unit is the first to engage the enemy."

"I have nothing more to say to you, Carrot. With your strength, as long as you don't cause trouble on the battlefield, you won't have any problem protecting yourself."

"Teacher, I'm the most disciplined person, and I never cause trouble."

If we don't cause trouble, as long as we eliminate all those involved in the incident, what else could happen?

Chapter 28 Ambush encountered

Orochimaru led his troops to set off on time, aiming to reach the border as quickly as possible, passing through the Land of Hot Water along the way. The Land of Hot Water lies in the buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning; if war breaks out, the flames of conflict will instantly spread to it – this is the tragedy of small nations.

Six days had passed by the time they arrived at the Land of Hot Water. The large army's march had slowed down their progress, so when they arrived at the Land of Hot Water, they found that the atmosphere and environment were a bit off.

It's too quiet. Even though we're in a state of war, there shouldn't be a complete lack of people on the streets.

"Reconnaissance troops, move out."

The General Staff issued the order.

"Yes."

The reconnaissance team was immediately dispatched, with the Aburame clan releasing insects and the Hyuga clan activating their Byakugan to gather intelligence.

"Oh no! The Hyuga clan."

The Cloud Ninja, who were lying in ambush, saw the Hyuga clan appear in the Konoha camp and knew that their ambush might be in vain.

"Let's attack directly! The numbers are similar, and it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious."

The Cloud Ninja leader in charge of the battlefield originally planned an ambush to inflict heavy damage on Konoha's vanguard and gain the upper hand in the war. However, after the Byakugan appeared, there was no longer any need for an ambush, and they had to engage in direct combat.

"Everyone get ready"

"superior."

With a wave of his hand, the leader sent a series of explosive tags, shuriken, and kunai flying towards the Konoha troops.

"Oh no, we're surrounded."

Konoha's reconnaissance units were the first to be attacked, and destroying them was tantamount to blinding Konoha.

The other ninjas also saw a large number of kunai with explosive tags attached flying towards them, and their faces were filled with terror.

"Psychic art."

Upon seeing this, Orochimaru bit his finger, slashed his fingers into his palm, clasped his hands together, and then pressed his palms to the ground.

With a "bang," three giant snakes suddenly appeared on the field, surrounding the Konoha troops. All the explosive tags exploded on the snakes' bodies, instantly sending blood and flesh flying and staining the earth crimson.

"Lord Orochimaru has made his move."

The Konoha ninjas who survived the ordeal couldn't help but shout and vent their emotions.

The Cloud Ninjas wouldn't give them a chance to relax. Seeing that their plan had failed, they immediately launched an attack, with hundreds of ninjas attacking the location of Konoha.

The Konoha ninjas reacted quickly to the initial offensive and engaged the Cloud ninjas, demonstrating the high quality of the village's ninjas.

Throughout the Land of Hot Springs, ninja battles are a common sight, with ninjutsu rampant and constantly destroying surrounding buildings and forests.

Some ninjas fell unwillingly, while others dragged their opponents down with them, detonating explosive tags and perishing together. Death became the main theme, and the fragility of life was vividly demonstrated here.

"Is this war?"

Many genin, fresh out of college and immediately sent to the battlefield, couldn't help but ask. Lively lives withered before their eyes, blood blossoming continuously, signifying the end of one life after another. Unable to bear the stench of blood on the battlefield, they bent over and vomited.

Orochimaru, as the commander of the ninja force, was under close surveillance by the Cloud Ninja, who surrounded him from all sides. As one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru's importance couldn't be overstated. After all, this was an opportunity to make a name for himself as a ninja. Fame and fortune, the pursuits of a lifetime, were now within reach; how could anyone not be driven to madness?

"You Cloud Ninja are truly cunning."

Orochimaru said in a cold tone. One-on-one, the Cloud Ninja are no match for Orochimaru. Use four Jonin to hold Orochimaru back from all sides, let the Cloud Ninja deal with the remaining Konoha soldiers first, and then join forces with the soldiers to wear down Orochimaru with hundreds of ninja.

"You don't need to worry about that, Orochimaru. Just watch the Konoha ninja disappear!"

Seeing that the plan was going smoothly, Yun Ren couldn't help but say with some pride.

"You think you can trap me, Orochimaru? You're overestimating yourselves."

Orochimaru sneered.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand"

Orochimaru's arm instantly transformed into countless giant snakes, directly binding the dead Cloud Ninja Jonin.

Those who become Jonin are veterans of countless battles, and this one reacted instantly, swiftly severing the snake's head with his kunai. Just when the opponent thought they were out of danger, the snake spat out a sword, piercing the heart of the Cloud Ninja.

"Underestimating me will come at a price."

The remaining three Cloud Ninja Jonin were on high alert.

Karot constantly roamed the battlefield; his body was Karot's strongest weapon, and no ninja could withstand Karot's attacks.

A mere graze would injure, a direct contact would kill; wherever a red figure passed, Cloud Ninjas fell one after another.

"Sanada, what are you doing?"

The shout brought Sanada back to his senses. He asked, his eyes still glazed over.

"Carrot, this...this...is this war?"

His voice trembled. Sanada was no stranger to killing people; he had carried out numerous missions of murder.

The fact that human lives are cheap on the battlefield deeply affected him; his comrades, who were lively and energetic one second, became cold, lifeless corpses the next.

He watched, he could only watch helplessly. He was afraid he would become one of them, and even more afraid that he would be consumed by murderous intent and turn into a heartless executioner.

He has killed too many people since the start of the war, his hands are covered in blood, and he has no respect for the loss of life.

"Wake up! This is war, a war of life and death. I don't want to go to your cemetery to pay my respects, you bastard."

Carrot grabbed Sanada by the collar and roared.

Konoha's education system is far too lenient, as evidenced by the behavior of Konoha ninjas on the battlefield. They panicked, sought refuge under their teachers, and some were even slaughtered before they could move.

The battle, which was originally evenly matched, gradually gained the upper hand in the battle against the Cloud Ninja.

"Follow me."

Carrot spoke to Sanada in a commanding tone.

Carrot searches for Kazuko on the battlefield, fearing for her safety. As Carrot's travels increase, so does the number of people gathering behind him, forming a considerable force.

"Kid, you're too arrogant."

The Cloud Ninja's Jonin saw Karot rampaging across the battlefield unchecked. His hands were accumulating more and more Cloud Ninja souls, fueling his rage.

He thrust the kunai in his hand towards Carrot's blind spot in the back; he had been lying in ambush for a long time, waiting for this fatal blow. There was no reason why it wouldn't succeed.

His face was filled with a cruel smile. There was nothing more gratifying than the fall of a genius at his hands.

“Carrot little…”

Hyuga Sanada, standing behind him, was about to remind Carrot, but he hadn't even finished speaking.

"Go back."

Carrot was prepared. He spun around and delivered a powerful straight kick, shattering the skull of the Cloud Ninja and sending him flying backward. Carrot had been constantly aware of the battlefield situation; the Jonin's ambush was as clear to him as a light bulb. He had deliberately created an opening for the Cloud Ninja.

Chapter 29 Carrot's Exposure

The Jonin of the Cloud Ninja noticed Karot's terrifying strength.

"We can't let him get away with this. Let's go and deal with him."

One of the Jonin said to his companion, "If one Jonin can't handle it, we'll add a few more."

"it is good."

Lightning Release, Fire Release, Earth Release—three Jonin used their most proficient ninjutsu in an attempt to completely eliminate Karot. The three ninjutsu struck Karot from three different directions.

When the effects of the ninjutsu wore off, Carrot stood unharmed, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

"Impossible. I can sense that my ninjutsu has worked."

The Cloud Ninja's Jonin looked on in disbelief. He knew perfectly well that his senses were infallible; this was truly bizarre.

Carrot smiled slightly.

"You're right. Is it possible that there was smoke but no injury?"

The three Cloud Ninjas didn't understand Carrot's Dragon Ball reference.

"Relying solely on taijutsu is too slow in terms of time to deal with the Cloud Ninja. It seems we need to reveal some of our strength."
