Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 38 The Will of Fire and the Approaching Crisis

boom!

As the white smoke dissipated, Inuzuka Kuri and Hisamaru 'disintegrated'.

Inuzuka Kuriko's body went limp, and she knelt down in front of Yubi.

As for Hisamaru, he was also lying on the side, bleeding profusely from the spot where he had been stabbed by the throwing knife.

It was only by forcing itself to maintain its condition and cooperating with Inuzuka Kuri using ninjutsu.

The ninja dog struggled to stand up and continue its attack on Yubi... but it had difficulty even standing up.

From the moment Yubi revealed himself to the moment he completely killed Inuzuka Kuri, the two seemed to have a back-and-forth exchange, but in reality... it took less than two minutes.

"You are very strong."

Yubi slowly pulled her bloodied arm out of Inuzuka Kurita's body, looked at the man's unfocused pupils and gradually closing eyelids, and said softly.

Men's dedication and conviction in carrying out tasks are...too strong.

As a member of the supply team, he knew the importance of supplies, so... even when fighting broke out, he did his best and never abandoned the supplies.

Always carrying a bundle...

Even if someone has excellent physical strength, being burdened by such a heavy load will inevitably affect their combat performance.

To put it bluntly, as ninjas of Konoha, the Inuzuka clan before them... are doing their best to fulfill their mission.

They were well aware of the village's current situation and were willing to risk their lives to protect and reduce the loss of supplies, which others would consider a very unwise thing to do.

Without the restraint of the bundle, the man might unleash even greater fighting power.

But Yubi was still confident... that he could kill his opponent.

The "strength" he praised... was not the strength of this Inuzuka clan member, but his will!

This is a worthy opponent.

In the ninja world, everyone fights their own battles; there is no right or wrong... just different stances.

It's all for the village.

The Root clan from before, and now the Inuzuka clan... have all shown Yubi the will of the Konoha ninja.

In comparison, while Sunagakure is also excellent in this regard, it is slightly inferior.

Whoosh!

Yubi waved his hand.

A throwing knife pierced the head of a nearby ninja dog, ending its life without pain.

Then, they quickly chased after the trio who had run away earlier.

By the time he found his target, the battle there had already ended.

He wasn't the only one lying in ambush; Scorpion was also there.

As the three retreated, Scorpion immediately followed.

And then they took action and eliminated them.

Judging from the scene, Scorpion didn't seem to have much trouble either, as there weren't many obvious signs of a fight.

"Clean things up... Don't leave any trace... Wait for the people from Konoha to come later," Arai appeared and gave the order.

……

The sudden disappearance of a vital supply team, coupled with the failure to deliver supplies on time, is bound to arouse suspicion.

The next day, Konoha quickly mobilized several people from the front lines to investigate along the route and search for the six people.

But strangely enough, the subsequent personnel sent out also disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the battlefield commander who was stationed in the village and clashing with Iwagakure was none other than Orochimaru.

Of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, one was no longer able to participate in the war, and another disappeared under the pretext of traveling... leaving only Orochimaru, who attempted to bring Konoha to an end in this Fourth Shinobi World War as soon as possible.

If he goes on strike again... Konoha will be in real danger.

The village would never allow him to leave the battlefield.

Although the village's "golden generation" is rising, they are still relatively "green" and have not fully matured... unable to truly stand on their own.

In this situation, Orochimaru, as a top-tier fighter, had to step forward.

Upon receiving the intelligence, Orochimaru immediately realized that the transport route had been exposed.

The enemy cut off their supplies.

But the situation on the battlefield is quite urgent now... He doesn't have the extra energy to deal with such "trivial matters," so he can only send a message to the village to explain the situation and ask others to investigate.

The route can be abandoned... but they must figure out who the enemy is.

Ideally, we should know who this group or faction is, what classified information they possess related to Konoha, and whether they have any other plans targeting Konoha...

……

Little did they know, on the other side...

After killing several ninjas sent by Konoha to scout ahead, Arai retreated with Yubi and the other two.

It's not hard to tell from the enemy's actions that they are aware of their presence.

To avoid the need for stronger reinforcements to be deployed later, the three of them naturally left as planned.

It can be basically guaranteed that their actions have forced Konoha to abandon this supply route and expend energy and time to find a new transportation route in the Land of Grass.

"Konoha might come to investigate, so let's take a shortcut into the Land of Rain."

The three of them ran quickly along the way.

Arai said.

"it is good."

Yubi.

They must remain cautious until they have fully returned to the Land of Wind.

The task cannot be considered complete until the very second it is delivered.

Just as they finished speaking, suddenly... all three of them felt a jolt in their hearts, as if an invisible pair of eyes had already "stared" at them.

It makes them feel like they're not wearing clothes.

It exposed...

"So fast?!"

Arai's face showed surprise, his eyes suddenly turning cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately said, "They've arrived!"

The people of Konoha have found them!

Among the opposing team, there is one member with exceptional chakra perception... who can lock onto them from a distance.

The three of them were extremely cautious during their retreat.

No one else noticed.

At this juncture, the only ones who could directly notice and detect them, besides the Konoha ninja searching for them, could not be anyone else.

This also means that their methods of erasing traces still leave clues in the eyes of the other party, allowing them to pinpoint the exact location!

"So fast!"

Yubi Passage.

The three of them were extremely efficient and moved away from that route at a very fast speed... Unexpectedly, the people from Konoha still caught up with them.

"The speed of their reaction... indicates that Konoha had already issued orders when we killed the initial group of six. The people we killed later were temporary reconnaissance teams sent from the front lines... not from Konoha Village or other Konoha strongholds. If they were still Konoha's front-line personnel, there would definitely have been a time difference between us and them... In other words, after those six disappeared, Konoha's higher-ups didn't hesitate or doubt for a moment, and didn't even wait for follow-up reports from the front lines before confirming our presence... their judgment was extremely accurate!"

"They have a certain understanding and analytical ability regarding any unexpected situations that occur on the battlefield, regardless of their magnitude... This also proves that Konoha has extremely rich war experience and a wealth of solutions. They have long since honed their instinctive problem-solving and response methods."

"That's true... If they didn't have this ability, facing the attacks of the other four great ninja villages, Konoha would have collapsed long ago."

Yubi felt the pressure and his mind raced with thoughts.

This time, no matter who the Konoha faction members are, they will definitely be formidable enemies to them!

Danger is imminent!

"Hurry up."

Arai urged him on, his tone grave.

His idea was simple: to run at full speed and try to shake off his opponent.
