Uchiha's Counterattack

In the dark woods, two Konoha ninjas who were on sentry duty were hiding in the shadows. In front of them was a wide and hundreds of meters deep chasm, with cliffs formed by yellow rocks on both sides. This area was within a radius of three hundred meters.

The only water source area and an outpost on the border of Konoha.

The scorching heat is baking the sand. From where you stand to the end of your field of vision, the horizon where the sky meets the earth is an unobstructed view of loess and windy sand. The roaring sandstorm is in the distance, and it seems that it will come soon.

"This damn weather."

The Konoha ninja complained and patted the yellow cloth wrapped around his head. This is a high-temperature area with a lot of yellow sand. He went out and stood outside for 10 minutes and then came back. After a little patting, his whole body was covered with splashes of sand and dust. The most terrible thing is the high temperature.

The water consumption in the body is serious, and without protection, it is easy to suffer from heat stroke.

Therefore, the Konoha ninjas on the front line had to put a wet towel on their heads and apply wet soil on their faces every day to resist the damage of ultraviolet rays.

"..."

The older Konoha ninja opened the kettle and took a small sip to moisten his dry and cracked lips. He wiped a handful of sand all over his face and then handed the kettle to his companion.

The companion took it with his hand, glanced at it, and immediately swallowed it in big mouthfuls. After drinking it as if it was a prank, he winked at the older Konoha ninja, who laughed angrily and then slapped him.

.

"You go get some water later!"

The older Konoha ninja took back the kettle angrily, and then put his foot on the young man's back. He looked fierce in appearance, but his tone was not so serious, but rather a bit doting.

In this restricted area of ​​​​life with few human traces in the yellow sand sky, the two of them are the only ones here to depend on each other and insist on guarding the border territory for Konoha Village. They are the first echelon here, and there should be a second echelon and others behind.

Headquarters, but since the great changes occurred in Konoha Village two weeks ago.

Almost all the border guards here have left, and most of them have moved further inland, where the conditions are better and more conducive to security. As for the patrol posts in this area, only the older Konoha ninjas are left.

, and his students who have been with him for four years.

"Teacher, everyone has gone back, why do we still stay here?" the student asked the teacher curiously.

"Then do you know why they went back?"

The teacher spoke without looking back. Facing the increasingly older face facing the wind and sand, a pair of thin eyes that looked chaotic but were actually bright, shone with the wisdom and vision of an older person.

"Because something happened in Konoha, everyone said that the Uchiha clan has become the leader now. Everyone is worried about their family members, so they all left."

"Then do you know what happened to Konoha and why Uchiha became the leader?"

The teacher asked unhurriedly, but the student was slightly stunned, and then fell silent. He really didn't know why, because the village was far away from here, and the specific matter was deliberately blocked by Uchiha, so

All they knew was that something was going on in Konoha, and Uchiha came to the fore.

The teacher looked at the confused student, touched his little head with some compassion and said: "Mu Yue, you have to remember that there are many things in this world that you don't need to understand too deeply. You just need to remember that there are some things that can be

There are some things you need to stay away from."

"No matter what others say and how twists and turns something is, you have to see through it to see the essence. If you can't do that, then look at who is the biggest beneficiary after the incident is over. You can figure out many things like that.

.”

"Teacher Takagi, does this have anything to do with us not going back?"

The student blinked and asked innocently.

The corners of Takagi's eyes twitched slightly, how could he have such a stupid student. But forget it, after all, the other party was relatively young and he brought it out with his own hands, so he had to swallow the consequences of his own actions with tears in his eyes.

"That's because the current Konoha may not be as safe as the life restricted zone of this desert yellow sand. There is the center of a huge whirlpool. It is still not over yet. I don't know how many people will be unconscious.

He was deeply sucked into the whirlpool and eventually shattered into pieces."

"So we won't go back, and we have to stay far away. We will wait until the turmoil in the village subsides a little before we go back - at least this way, we won't die so inexplicably."

Takagi touched the scar on his face and looked into the distance with a sighing expression.

"oh……"

The student looked at the teacher with a vague understanding, and nodded silently. He didn't know why the teacher looked into the distance with a sad expression, squatting on the treetops with his hunched back, looking like a

Like a homeless old man, it suddenly makes people feel a little sad.

We are just ordinary Konoha ninjas. In the face of such a chaotic political crisis... even self-protection is a problem.

And just when Takagi was sighing, an alarm suddenly rose in his heart, and a murderous aura came from above his head along with the scream of a sharp blade cutting through the air. Takagi didn't have time to think about flying up and kicking the students next to him, and at the same time he turned around and pulled out the gun.

Draw your short sword to face the enemy attacking overhead.

—— Boring!

When the swords met, sparks flew out. Takagi and the incoming Sand Ninja were fighting together in an instant. The two of them fought with each other and moved at extremely fast speeds in the forest. Because the two of them were moving so fast, it was difficult to see them and they could only hear the air.

The sound of explosions occurred again and again, as well as two black shadows that constantly shuttled and collided.

Boring! Another face-to-face collision, Takagi finally saw the incoming enemy clearly this time. It turned out to be an elite Sand Ninja dressed in Sand Ninja costumes but with animal masks!

"What do you Suna ninjas want to do!?"

Takagi shouted angrily, reaching for his waist with one hand to get the flare, but unexpectedly it came up empty.

Impossible, I should have put the flare on my waist properly!? Takagi faced the elite sand ninja in shock and anger. This enemy was very strong and he couldn't divert his attention, otherwise it would be even a second of carelessness.

It is very likely that they will be killed directly by the opponent.

Takagi pretended to be calm on the surface to prevent the enemy from seeing through his wavering. At the same time, his mind suddenly changed. Facing this crisis, he had a bad premonition. It was no coincidence that the Sand Ninja elite Anbu appeared here. It was probably because they heard about the shocking changes in Konoha Village.

The news intends to take advantage of the opportunity to invade.

He needed to find a way to send the news out quickly. Takagi took a deep breath and planned to make a breakout attempt.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from beside him. The voice was so familiar that it touched Takagi's heartstrings. However, facing a powerful enemy in front of him, Takagi did not dare to move his sight, and could only use the corner of his eye to focus.

Hikari went to scan around and found his student being held hostage by another Sand Ninja ANBU.

"..." Takagi almost shouted, but at the critical moment he gritted his teeth and made no sound. Only the kunai in his hand made a crunching sound, and his bones were pale.

The student was held hostage, and his thigh was cut and bleeding, which was why he screamed just now. More importantly, there was a small red gun on the side of his blood-stained wound, which Takagi probably didn't touch just now.

The flare gun.

"Give up your resistance. If you continue to resist, we can't guarantee the lives of your companions." The Sand Ninja ANBU seemed to want to capture someone alive to torture for information, so they threatened.

Takagi slowly raised his head and glanced fiercely with bloodshot eyes. He knew that he was in a desperate situation at this time. The enemy's reinforcements would probably arrive soon, and because the signal gun was not around, he could not issue a warning.

In addition, his students were also held hostage, and their defeat was almost certain.

But at this moment, Takagi suddenly moved. He raised his right arm high and used all his strength to throw the short sword away, prompting the Suna ninja standing opposite him to subconsciously avoid and reveal his flaw.

Takagi seized this opportunity and turned directly towards his student. His movements were as fast as the wind, and he used all his strength and chakra to gallop forward desperately.

"Teacher!" The student shouted in surprise, and the Sand Ninja behind him hurriedly raised his hand. However, the distance between the two was only about 20 meters, and it would have taken less than 3 seconds for an ordinary ninja, not to mention the full burst of Taijutsu.

Jonin, the next second Takagi had already rushed in front of him.

At this moment, Takagi's eyes were filled with fierceness.

"Konohagakure: Moon Dance!"

There was a flash of white light, and the spare short knife drawn from the waist drew a bright sword light.

——Pfft!!

………………

Poof, two corpses fell under the tree trunk one after another.

The sand ninja who cast the genjutsu slowly closed his eyes and then stood up.

"Done?"

The Suna ninja who was in charge of guarding the surroundings asked.

"It's very simple. After all, it's just an ordinary chuunin and a genin, using genjutsu to invade their brains and create illusions. When they mistakenly thought they were fighting in genjutsu, I actually got all the information in his brain.

.”

"Is the information useful?"

The genjutsu sand ninja grinned slightly and nodded to his companions around him.

"I already know the locations of all Konoha sentries. The frontline security of Konoha Village has been abolished."

"Well done, we'll go to the next place immediately after the body is burned."

"Yes!" The surrounding sand ninjas responded loudly and with high morale, and everyone had an expression of excitement on their faces. In their opinion, the success rate of this operation may be higher than they imagined.

Soon the forward infiltration troops of Suna Ninja Village got the information, and they quickly followed this information and continued to sneak into the hinterland of Konoha, removing all the sentries along the way one by one, clearing obstacles for the army to advance.

The Konoha Village was in a passive state throughout the whole process. By the time the last warning post was removed, the Sand Ninja army had penetrated nearly a hundred miles into the hinterland of Konoha.

The sand ninjas all over the mountains and plains climbed over the mountains formed by the yellow sand, and penetrated all the way into the land of fire with lush trees and fertile land. The rich and peaceful scenes along the way were seen by the sand ninjas, and they felt as if there was a handful in their hearts.

It's like a fire is burning, and I can't wait to take everything here as my own.

Under the personal leadership of the Fourth Kazekage, the Sand Ninjas broke through to the hinterland of the Fire Country in two days' journey. At this time, they were less than three days away from the Leaf Village.

The Fourth Kazekage's actions were swift and resolute, and when the delegation from Suna Ninja Village arrived in Konoha, Suna Ninja was already only one day away from Konoha Village.

As the Suna Ninja army continues to approach, the sky above Konoha Village has been covered with clouds and thunder roared for several days.

Cyan lightning, deafening thunder.

The downpour of rain washed away the Leaf Village, which seemed to be ignorant of the crisis...

Wow…

Wow…
