Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"Although it was the end of the Second Shinobi World War, it was still a time of war."

Yubi thought to himself.

The environmental pressures experienced by ninjas during times of war are naturally different.

The patrol missions they take on usually last for several months... and they're not even on the front lines of the border, so they're already considered to be at the very low-risk, level C level.

However, in special times, even a C-rank is extremely dangerous for them, who have just graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Chunin Endo walked to the cave entrance and kept a close watch on the outside, being very cautious.

The two genin beside Yubi became increasingly nervous.

It feels like each day is an eternity…

After a moment, Endo frowned, picked up a stone, and left a special mark on the wall inside the cave. He then turned to the three of them and said, "Pack your things and move to another location."

Upon hearing this, Yubi immediately sprang into action.

They were the first to lift the injured Chunin to his feet.

"hurry up!"

Seeing that the remaining two were still in a daze, Endo urged them on sharply.

It's been a long time; that companion who went out to look for Shimada should have returned long ago.

Something very likely has happened.

Although it is uncertain, we must prepare for the worst.

The two genin immediately picked up their bags and packages.

Next, Endo destroyed all traces of the base inside the cave.

Take them away.

Fortunately, the injured Chunin was still able to move, though his body was quite weak.

"To survive on the battlefield, you must remain vigilant."

The five people raced through the canyon.

Yubi stared at Endo's figure, a thought flashing through her mind.

If the Chunin who went to find his comrades encounters the enemy, he might reveal their hideout, leading to their capture.

"But that's not the problem... The fact that the enemy has infiltrated this area means that the frontline guards and patrols have been breached. The fact that they didn't receive any prior warning means that the enemy's numbers are small... but they must be very strong." Yubi was quick-witted. "Judging from the timing... Nomura may have also encountered the enemy. If it's a spearhead squad and the intelligence wasn't relayed, then the entire second-line area's forces are currently unaware of the enemy's presence."

This is the most terrible.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the light in the valley was even dimmer due to the wind and sand.

However, thanks to Endo's familiarity with the terrain, the group's speed did not slow down under his leadership.

Whoosh!

Just as they were on their way, Yubi's ears twitched, and he suddenly heard a faint sound of something cutting through the air.

"Be careful!"

He immediately shouted.

A kunai shot from an unknown direction, its target being two slower, lagging genin.

A burning explosive tag was still hanging on the thrown kunai.

boom!

Although Yubi's reminder was timely, his two companions were stiff in their movements, and their high level of tension affected their reaction.

After a burst of fireworks and explosions, Yubi covered his nose and landed on a boulder, only to hear his companions scream in agony.

There are people injured!

Yubi swung his arm and quickly pulled out a weapon from his waist pouch.

A scalpel.

Instead of the kunai favored by ninjas.

He covered his nose with one hand and assumed a fighting stance with the other.

At the same time, he surveyed his surroundings with a cold gaze.

"Ahhh..."

A dozen meters away, the injured boy fell to the ground, screaming continuously.

"She's still conscious...which means the problem isn't serious."

Hearing his companion's screams, Yubi immediately made the doctor's instinctive assessment, but his gaze did not focus on the person.

"Wow, you reacted quickly..."

As soon as they stopped, the enemy caught up with them.

A voice appeared above Yubi's head.

Then they saw a Rain Villager dressed in a tight-fitting white ninja uniform, like a rubber raincoat, with four vertical lines on his forehead guard.

Like a cheetah, the opponent leaped into the air and landed on the wall above and behind Yubi, standing at a ninety-degree angle to the ground. He stood steadily on the wall, looking at the boy who was on high alert with a playful expression.

"The worst is yet to come..."

Upon seeing this, Yubi's heart sank.

The other person's appearance is a bit too striking.

Rain Village... and judging from their attire, they are Rain Village's elite.

He was known as a demigod in the ninja world and was a subordinate personally trained by Hanzo the Salamander.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yin descended from the sky.

It transformed into a streak of white silk.

when!

Sparks flew as the kunai and scalpel rubbed together, their bodies passing each other.

"what?"

Rain Shadow's attack failed, and his expression was clearly one of surprise.

The young man before me is quite skilled…

"However... she's still too inexperienced."

The Rain Shadow appeared to land directly in front of Yubi, then turned and charged towards him.

But the next second, its ferocious face appeared out of nowhere from behind Yubi, who was on guard.

As he spoke, he thrust the kunai in his hand toward the boy's neck.

A classic clone technique... using clones to distract the viewer and give the original body an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Now...it should be a success, right...?

The man raised the corners of his mouth.

However, what surprised him even more was what happened next.

The boy seemed to have anticipated his underhanded trick, and the moment his true form approached, he suddenly turned around and unleashed a cold glint.

Rain Shadow's attack immediately ceased, and he withdrew.

Fortunately, he retreated quickly, otherwise, that knife... would have slit his throat.

"..."

Yu Yin, still shaken, stood ten meters away and touched the wound on her cheek inflicted by the boy's strange blade.

After Yubi repelled him, he also managed to kill the clones that were attacking from both sides in a very short time.

Meanwhile, the others in the valley were also engaged in their own battles.

"There should only be three or four of them... they should be able to hold them off for a while," Yubi analyzed, listening to the sounds coming from other directions.

"Not bad... You have some combat experience, and your taijutsu is quite impressive for your age... No wonder you're a ninja trained by a great ninja village." Amegakure sneered, even clapping for Yubi, but the killing intent in their eyes was becoming increasingly obvious.

"Water clone... Water-style chakra, looks like a ninja skilled in Water Release." Yubi remained calm.

"Water Release: Iron Water Bullet!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Yin suddenly formed a hand seal.

Like a machine gun, it shot out several fist-sized bubbles from its mouth.

Although it wasn't a water-style ninjutsu that Yubi was familiar with, the appearance of the ninjutsu was quite familiar.

It's somewhat similar to the Hozuki clan's Water Gun, but its speed and power are far inferior.

At least, at a certain distance, Yubi could react.

The rubble beneath their feet exploded as Yubi's figure nimbly shifted and moved.

However, just as he thought he could dodge and kept moving his body, several slender and hidden needles suddenly shot out in front of him.

boom!

The next second, his body was precisely hit by the thousand needles.

But it exploded into a puff of white smoke.

"Um?"

Yu Yin was startled.

Turning around, he saw a short figure appear beside him, just like he had done during his sneak attack.

They retaliated in kind.

"A clone? When?"

Yu Yin's heart skipped a beat.

"Data capture complete, model established, begin the counterattack."

Yubi remained expressionless, muttering in a barely audible voice.
