Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Golden Wheel Mountain Range, Windless Valley Pass Outpost.

Currently stationed here are Konoha's veteran elite Jonin, Mimura Yozaki, and a young Ino-Shika-Cho squad led by Jonin Akimichi Tou.

After arranging for the three-day observation of enemy activity by the sensory ninja in the mountains, Mimura, Yoru, and the other two chose to pass the time by playing cards.

Despite this, Mimura Yoru wasn't very interested, and kept gazing in the direction of the Land of Grass with a worried expression: "More than a day has passed, and Uchiha Aoya and the others should have returned by now."

Just one day ago, Uchiha Aoya's team passed through here and entered the Land of Grass.

Qingye specifically mentioned that if any trouble arose, the four of them would be needed to help him out.

Mimura Yomi readily agreed.

But the three of them never returned!

"Could something have gone wrong?"

With his large appetite, Akimichi Tōdō muttered to himself as he chewed on dry jerky. "That's the bad thing about wartime," he said, "we can only eat this kind of dried jerky."

Nara Shizuku, sitting opposite him, glanced at the cards in his hand, pondered for a moment, then carelessly tossed them face down on the ground, sighed, and said:

"Although Uchiha Aoya is not very old, in terms of strength, he is probably even stronger than Doto."

"With Hyuga Himon, a Hyuga clan ninja with the Byakugan, there's always plenty of room to anticipate the enemy's moves... Could they be surrounded and attacked by multiple Iwagakure ninjas?"

That would be troublesome!

Upon considering this possibility, Mimura and Yomi completely lost interest in playing cards and fell silent.

Although the other party was an Uchiha who wasn't well-liked in the village, Uchiha Aoya wasn't the type to be arrogant.

Moreover, they are all ninjas from the same village, and with the war in such a critical state, they certainly don't want any of their Jonin fighters to get hurt.

After a long silence, the three of them finally spoke again and began to talk about the battle situation on the Iwagakure battlefield.

"Don't worry, I heard that Minato is already on his way here," said the older Mimura Yomi, offering a word of comfort.

Everything will be alright as long as Minato Namikaze arrives.

"Is that golden flash about to arrive?" Nara Shizuku's spirits lifted.

That's really great news!

"Attention everyone, there's an emergency ahead!"

Suddenly, the mountain dweller sitting cross-legged atop a giant tree nearby shouted, closing his eyes and concentrating on sensing: "This chakra reaction... it's Uchiha Aoya! The three of them are back!"

"Wait, something's not right!"

His expression changed every three days in the mountains.

Uchiha Aoya and his group were moving so fast that they were practically running at full speed!

"There's probably someone chasing behind, ready to provide backup!"

Three days in the mountains, the four of them hurriedly jumped down from the tree and got ready for battle.

Before long, the three of them, Qingye and his companions, came into view. Shan Zhongsan used his family's secret technique to sense them again, and this time his expression changed drastically.

"Such a powerful chakra reaction!"

Santen suddenly opened his eyes, his face extremely grim: "There are many more people following them, and one of them has an exceptionally strong chakra reaction, far exceeding the level of a typical elite Jonin!"

Who did these three guys attract?!

Judging from the opponent's chakra reaction alone, it's probably beyond the capabilities of the four of them!

"Could it be that Iwagakure's highest commander, Kyoto, has come in person... Haha, that's probably impossible, right?" Nara Salt Water wiped his sweat and said.

"Fire a signal flare!"

"Calling for backup! Huang Tu is catching up!"

Aoya, who was running at the front, finally arrived at the border of the Land of Fire. His speed immediately increased to the extreme, and he arrived in front of Mimura Yoru and the others in the blink of an eye.

Nara Salt Water: "..."

What you fear most is what happens!

"What on earth happened?" Mimura Yoru was also covered in sweat, and three red signal flares shot into the air in succession.

Uchiha Aoya and the others have returned alive, which is a good thing.

It seems the original task has been completed.

And it's estimated that they've exceeded their targets!

What the hell? What kind of mess have these three young men gotten into that Huang Tu would risk everything to chase them all the way to the front lines with such a small group of people?

Surely we can't just blow up the commander's camp in Huangtu?

"Not enough!"

Aoya turned around and saw Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Hidetoshi fleeing back, breathless. He hurriedly said, "Release the poison smoke bombs to force them back!"

Before he could finish speaking, Nara Shiozaki had already made his move, throwing over a dozen purple dumplings towards the entrance of the valley ahead: "Mimura-senpai!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Mimura Yoru's hand seals moved incredibly fast, her chest bulging as she unleashed a gust of wind that swept away the purple smoke that had exploded in front of her.

At this moment, Huang Tu and more than twenty Iwagakure ninjas had come into view!

Seeing the purple smoke approaching, Huang Tu was furious, but he could only suppress his anger and dared not go forward again.

"Damn it!"

It's just a matter of time!

If you give him a little more time, he might catch up!

Instead of continuing their pursuit, the group of Iwagakure ninja used Earth Release techniques, creating large-scale earthen walls that blocked the obviously abnormal purple smoke ahead.

"Hopefully, Huang Tu and the others will back down."

Nara Shizuku looked tense, swallowed hard, and prepared to unleash the many traps he had set up earlier at any moment.

After a long time, until the purple poisonous smoke in front dissipated, and after a while, there was still no movement from the other side.

Hinata Hideto forced himself to muster the last bit of chakra, activated his Byakugan to observe for a while, and then collapsed to the ground: "It's alright, Huangtu and the others have retreated."

saved……

I almost thought I was going to die!

The three of them had originally planned to escape some time in advance.

However, he and Kurenai Yuhi were not fast enough, and with a huge rock constantly crashing down from behind, he had to keep his Byakugan active to keep a close eye on the attacks from behind.

"Qing, Qingye, help me up..."

Kurenai's voice trembled as she leaned against Aoya, feeling her legs go weak, her heart pounding, and her face flushed.

So exciting!

She had never experienced anything so dangerous in her entire life!

The battlefield experiences I had over two years after graduating from the Ninja Academy were not as exciting as the experiences I had with Aoya over the past two months!

"What on earth happened?" Akimichi Tou asked, puzzled. He went to bomb supplies at a front-line outpost, but somehow he ended up attracting even yellow dust.

"We'll talk about that later."

Aoya pulled Kurenai along, grabbed Hinata Himon who was sprawled on the ground, and the three of them found a secluded corner.

A map was spread out on the ground. Qingye stared at it for a while, then locked onto the stronghold they had previously destroyed and pointed there:

"Himichi, you mentioned before that someone's chakra signature disappeared after they went underground. Where did they go before they disappeared?"

Hyuga Himon, bewildered, pointed out the direction on the map with slightly trembling hands.

A point, a line—Qingye's gaze followed that ray on the map, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

and many more!

There's a place on this route they've passed through before!

There's a cave on one of the mountains there!

Cave, Kannabi Bridge, Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha...

A series of information connected in Qingye's mind.

Immediately afterwards, Qingye looked at another point on the map, the Kannabi Bridge!

The stronghold they were targeting for this mission was about twenty miles from the border of the Land of Fire.

Further into the Land of Grass, the Kannabi Bridge is located about a hundred miles from the border of the Land of Fire!

Hey!

Qingye cursed inwardly.

What the hell is this?!

Where exactly was Obito Uchiha struck and became paralyzed in the original manga?

Obito Uchiha, you weren't at Kannabi Bridge at all! Where did you go?!
