In the Three Kingdoms border area of the Huoyu River, in a small valley overgrown with bushes not far from Konoha's forward camp, two figures were engaged in a fierce battle of physical skills. Next to them, a brown-eyed girl with a slightly nervous expression was watching the proceedings.
Suddenly, a figure with yellow hair and blue eyes, dressed in blue tights and a green Konoha vest, with a beautiful face and a soft and sunny character appeared next to the brown-haired girl.
" Ah, sensei, you are here ." Nohara Rin relaxed her tense body and said with a joyful expression on her face.
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly, looked at the two fighting men and smiled, " Hakari's taijutsu has improved very quickly, and he can even compete with Kakashi ."
"Yes, I'm improving quickly. Hakari is a genius just like Kakashi."
Hakari Uchiha and Kakashi stopped sparring and walked up to the two of them.
In his final days, Uchiha Hakari focused on his taijutsu training: fighting as much as possible with taijutsu on the battlefield, competing with Kakashi, etc.
Compared to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, Taijutsu is Uchiha Gen's weak point. Of course, with the help of the Sharingan, Uchiha Gen's Taijutsu is very strong at the same level.
"Teacher."
"Minato-senpai."
This was a request from Minato Namikaze himself. Hakari Uchiha could simply call him senpai, not sensei .
"We have a task, go, collect all your things and quickly hit the road."
"Teacher, what is the mission?"
"Lord Hokage sent an order asking me to lead the men to intercept Kumogakure who invaded the Land of Fire."
"What, Kumogakure invaded the Land of Fire again?"
"That can't be. Our forces on the Kumogakure front are limited. Even though Lord Orochimaru has an unusual military strategy, it's hard for him to cover everything."
Konoha's intelligence system is very powerful. It has two and a half systems, light and dark. The first is the Interrogation Department's intelligence, the second is Root, and the other half is ANBU.
The future fourth Raikage Ai and the others were very careful, but the information was still received by Konoha intelligence officers.
"Sensei, are we with you?"
"No, this time Kumogakure has split into two teams, light and dark, and I need to lead the people to stop the dark team led by the Third Raikage's son. You guys will follow the rapid support squad to stop the light team."
"I understand, sensei, be careful."
Namikaze Minato looked at the three of them, smiled and said, " You should also pay attention to safety. Don't rush and don't show off your strength ."
"Sensei leaves first."
After saying this, Namikaze Minato instantly disappeared. This was not a normal teleportation technique, but a space-time ninjutsu.
It is worth noting that in the Flying Thunder God technique, the further the jump, the more chakra is consumed.
The current Minato is not the same Minato who had half of the Nine-Tails in his body during the Fourth War, so continuing to use the Flying Thunder God technique to travel would be impossible.
"Let's go too."
Uchiha Hakari and Nohara Rin nodded.
The three figures disappeared on the spot as soon as they moved, quickly jumping between the hills, and in the blink of an eye they turned into three small black dots.
The three returned to camp, quickly packed their things and set off with the rapid support group.
The rapid support squad consisted of seventy people, consisting of chunin, special jonin, and jonin. All chunin have good speed and can move very quickly. The leading jonin is the Inorakacho trio.
The group of people quickly rushed through the dense forest. The vision of ordinary people allowed them to only see black shadows passing by. When they were tired or lacked chakra, they took Bingliang Pills to replenish their physical strength and chakra.
After a day and night of travel, they finally arrived from the west of Tierra del Fuego to the northeast. After setting traps in the direction of the Kumogakure ninja, everyone took advantage of the time to recover their physical strength and chakra.
Apparently, there are spies from Konoha among the Kumogakure ninja.
While resting, the ninja felt uneasy, and the barrier class ninja created a barrier that disrupted the perception.
Sensing Ninja, Sealed Ninja, and Medical Ninja are treasures in every ninja village.
Among them, the sense ninja and sealing ninja are half as valuable as the medical ninja. Unless there is an emergency, other ninja will not allow these two types of ninja to engage in combat.
About an hour later, the sentient ninja, who had been hiding to disrupt the enemy's perception without disrupting his own, sent out a reminder, and the Konoha ninja immediately perked up and prepared to fight.
Collapse!
The Kumogakure ninja in front tore apart the hair-like steel wire, which instantly caused a chain reaction, and dense shuriken and kunai equipped with detonating talismans burst out from it.
Ding-ding-ding...
boom-boom-boom...
ah ah ah...
The sounds of gold and iron colliding, the explosions of detonating talismans, and screams rang out one after another. The front line of the Kumogakure assault force suffered heavy losses in an instant. Corpses fell from the trees, and the few who survived were wounded.
"Konoha has noticed, retreat!"
The head jonin of Kumogakure quickly made a decision.
Hearing this, the Kumogakure ninja immediately retreated. The Konoha ninja, of course, did not let them escape so easily and immediately ran away, forcing the Kumogakure ninja to engage in battle.
Taking advantage of this chaos, the Kumogakure ninja with the green ribbon on his right arm took the opportunity to leave the battlefield, and the Konoha ninja did not attack.
After the spy has completed his mission, he must naturally leave. Returning to Kumogakure would naturally be unsuccessful, and the Kumogakure Anbu are not vegetarians.
"Kill!"
The three ninja from Kumogakure, holding ninja swords in their hands, rushed towards Team 7. Their bodies were fast and flexible, and they easily dodged the shuriken fired by Team 7. Their momentum was inexhaustible, demonstrating their elite style.
Kakashi and Hakari Uchiha immediately rushed forward and fought the three of them.
A ninja from the Kumogakure Ninja Village, he is skilled with a sword and can run away from thunder, but his physical skills are still inferior to Kakashi and Gen Uchiha. In a three-on-two fight, he is at a disadvantage.
The three Kumogakure ninja exchanged glances, and one Kumogakure ninja left the team and walked towards Nohara Rin, who was holding a kunai and waiting in full formation.
Hakari Uchiha threw out three shurikens. The Kumogakure ninja calmly swung his sword, deflecting the shurikens, and continued to advance. However, the shurikens scattered and struck again.
The Kumogakure ninja was scared, but he did not panic. He struck and dodged, only a small wound appeared on his belt, which did not affect the course of the fight.
At this moment, Nohara Rin, seeing the right moment, threw out two kunai. The Kumogakure ninja was horrified and tried his best to twist his body to avoid the vital point.
He succeeded, but the poison smeared on the kunai flowed down his body along with his blood, and he fell to the ground with a black face in less than a moment.
As a medical ninja, Nohara Rin naturally knew how to use poison, but had never done so before, Hakari Uchiha suggested it.
Genjutsu Sharingan!
Hakari Uchiha's eyes suddenly transformed into Magatama Sharingan, and his gaze darted towards the eyes of the two Kumogakure ninja.
Unlike the original Uchiha, for whom family honor was more important than life, Hakari Uchiha was a pragmatist.
Not only was the Uchiha clan emblem intentionally removed, but the Sharingan was not revealed in the early stages of the fight.
This insidious hand of the Sharingan directly determines victory and defeat, life and death!
The two Kumogakure ninja suddenly tensed up, and Hakari Uchiha and Kakashi took the opportunity to attack.
Four figures rushed past each other, bloody mist spurting from their necks, and two corpses fell to the ground.
Kakashi's lips twitched as he leaned against the tree trunk. Even though it wasn't the first time he'd seen this, he still wanted to say that it was truly treacherous.
It's so dark that even Uchiha's pride fell, it's scary!
"Kakashi, maybe I'll be the main lead this time?"
The two had been together for over a month now. Kakashi had often heard strange words from Gen Uchiha, and now he had learned a lot of new things.
" Okay, I'll be Hakari's support and Rin will be his assistant ." Kakashi said calmly.
" Agreed. " Nohara Rin raised her right hand with a smile on her face.
