Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Kagura and turned around and left the scene.

Chapter 47 Attacked

After the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki was plundered and many elite jonin were annihilated, the strength of the Water Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom on the eastern battlefield was greatly reduced.

Although the main forces on the battlefield are mainly Chunins and Genins, the role of Jonins is unquestionable.

The loss of more than a dozen jonin was not a devastating loss for a village, but it was definitely a huge loss.

A Jonin is not just a high-end fighter in a war, the most important thing is that he serves as the commander of each team.

Moreover, due to their strong individual combat power, in terms of mortality rate alone, it is not so easy for a Jonin to die on the battlefield.

Thus, the balance of war began to tilt.

In the 36th year of Konoha, after two years of war, the comprehensive strength of each country gradually emerged.

The battle between the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning and Konoha on the Eastern Battlefield began to gradually subside.

The weakest Water Nation was the first to announce its withdrawal from the war.

As an island country far away from the mainland, it has huge geographical advantages.

As long as it withdraws from the mainland, it will be difficult for other countries to launch a counterattack against it.

Just after the Water Kingdom announced its withdrawal, the Thunder Kingdom also announced its withdrawal from the war.

The original intention of various countries in provoking this war was to redistribute economic and other interests through the use of force.

However, as the Land of Lightning, they not only lost the Two-Tails Jinchuriki this time, but also many of the young generation that they had just trained were killed on the battlefield.

After two years of struggle, the third Raikage also saw the consequences of continuing to fight.

So after seeing the Water Kingdom being the first to announce its withdrawal, he also followed suit and announced its withdrawal.

This situation is undoubtedly a huge benefit to Konoha. It ends the lengthy eastern front, and Konoha can finally focus its full attention on the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

In a small village in the Land of Rain.

The impact of two years of war on this country, where rain falls all year round, can be said to be devastating.

The once peaceful little village was now deserted.

Signs of destruction can be seen everywhere on the war-torn buildings, and the empty villages exude a sense of death and silence.

In a dilapidated room, Hatake Sakumo was leading his team members to rest inside.

Looking at his companions who were covered in wounds, he frowned and tightly grasped the silver-white short blade in his hand.

Compared to the eastern front, the war in the Rain Country is even more brutal.

Unlike the vast battlefield on the other side, the territory of the Rain Kingdom is not large.

In such a small country, ninjas from three major countries and the Hidden Rain Village poured in at the same time. You can imagine how crowded it was.

It is for this reason that the battle in the Land of Rain is much more brutal than imagined.

The mission accepted by Hatake Sakumo's group this time is to carry out a decapitation operation on a certain Jonin from the Sand Village.

The mission went more smoothly than expected, but on the way of retreat, they unfortunately encountered ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village.

In this land, there is now a huge melee among various forces.

So as soon as the two teams met, they started fighting without any words.

Compared with the three major countries, the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village are undoubtedly much weaker.

But this is the Rain Country, a place where it rains all year round.

This is even more beneficial for the Hidden Rain Village ninjas fighting on their home ground.

What's more, Konoha had just fought with the ninjas from the Sand Village, and even Hatake Sakumo felt a little tired after the continuous battles.

In the end, Hatake Sakumo had no choice but to use his limited chakra again to kill these enemies he encountered in a short period of time.

Although the battle was ended quickly in a short time, it also forced them to change their original plan.

Give up the quick retreat and find a shelter for temporary rest.

After bandaging his injured arm, Hatake Sakumo did not rest with the other team members, but immediately began patrolling around the room.

As the captain of this team, he obviously has more things to think about.

As a person with a strong sense of responsibility, he would try his best to bring all the team members back every time he went on a mission.

Although this seems a bit out of place in the world of ninja, his personality makes it impossible for him to give up on any of his teammates.

But perhaps it was precisely because of his protective heart that he made a name for himself in this war.

Compared to Kagura's activeness on the Eastern Front, Hatake Sakumo received higher evaluations for his battles in the Rain Country.

With the silver short blade in his hand, he can always kill his target easily.

During the wars in recent years, his reputation began to spread in the ninja world.

"Konoha White Fang"

When the silver light shines, it is the time for Konoha White Fang to reap the lives of his enemies.

It can be said that even the "Three Ninjas" such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade cannot compare with Hatake Sakumo.

However, at this time, the Konoha genius was standing guard at the door with a serious face, looking worriedly at the heavy rain outside.

This time he led a team of ten people, a decapitation team, all of whom were experienced Chunins.

However, in the battles with the ninjas from the Sand Village and the Rain Village, four of the team members remained on this land forever.

Looking back at the remaining six injured companions, a trace of anxiety appeared in his heart.

The wars of the past few years have made him very clear that as long as they are still in the Rain Country, they are likely to encounter enemies they cannot predict.

Just as he was pondering his next route, a strange noise outside the house made his face change.

Without saying a word, he immediately grasped the silver short blade behind his back with his right hand, and made a gesture to the other team members with his left hand.

Seeing Hatake Sakumo's warning gesture, all the team members sitting on the ground immediately became tense and alert.

However, after the strange noise, no other sound came from outside.

The heavy rain made the outside covered with a layer of water curtain, making it impossible to see anything unusual.

The house inside and outside fell into silence. At a certain moment, it seemed that people doubted whether the unusual sound was really caused by a small animal passing by.

However, the combat skills of these Chunins who have survived many years of war are extraordinary.

There was no need for Hatake Sakumo to remind them. The Chunins in the room did not relax at all and always held their weapons tightly.

However, no one noticed that several dark shadows appeared on the roof above their heads at some point.

Just as Hatake Sakumo frowned and considered whether to rush out.

Several dark shadows suddenly fell from above the house.

"terrible!"

As this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately turned around and rushed into the house.

But obviously he was still a step slow.

Ah!

Woo!

As the two voices rang out, several hideous wounds appeared on the bodies of the two team members, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

Seeing that his companion was obviously beyond saving, Hatake Sakumo gritted his teeth and swung the short blade in his hand.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and the dark shadow that attacked them revealed its true face.

Chapter 48 Konoha White Fang

The true faces of the two black shadows gradually appeared before everyone.

One is several meters tall, with many arms made of blades, and looks like a centipede from a distance.

The other one is no different from a human, except that it has four slender sickles extending from its back, like a humanoid spider.

"This is......"

Seeing the monster in front of them, the group of Chunins couldn't help but get a little agitated.

Hatake Sakumo narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, then immediately spoke to comfort him:

"This is a puppet from the Sand Village!

Don't panic, just find the puppeteer quickly."

After hearing his words, everyone present immediately reacted and began to look around.

Puppetry is a ninjutsu that controls puppets through chakra lines.

Having fought against the Sand Village for two years, Hatake Sakumo naturally knew the true nature of this ninjutsu.

He carefully examined the blue chakara lines on the two puppets, and the next second his figure disappeared from the spot.

boom!

As his figure reappeared, a wall in the house collapsed instantly.

As the smoke cleared, a man and a woman appeared in the rain outside the house.

From the forehead guards they wear on their heads, it can be determined that these are ninjas from the Sand Village.

At this moment, two puppets were floating in front of them.

Compared with the two puppets in the house before, the two new ones seemed more normal.

At this time, the two human-shaped puppets were holding knives in both hands, guarding in front of them like guards.

It seems that they were the ones who blocked Hatake Sakumo's attack just now.

The two people standing in the rain looked at the people in the house and said coldly:
