After taking a glance, Yagyu withdrew his gaze and shifted his attention to the enemies surrounding him.
Tap.
His right hand gripped the chakra blade.
A chilling killing intent spread from his body.
"It seems my premonition was correct, the Sand Village has indeed betrayed the alliance with Konoha, then next… it is time to hunt."
The moment Yagyu finished speaking, the Sand jonin leading the group flashed killing intent in his eyes.
"Attack together, kill Yagyu Sōsuke!"
"Yeah."
Clang.
However, just as the jonin finished speaking, a sharp blade sound rang out, not pleasant, but like the call of death itself.
Then, the jonin's vision began to darken.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he saw the entire squad he brought collapsing one after another, lifeless.
"So fast…"
That was his final thought.
Within moments, the seven man squad had been wiped out.
Blood slowly dripped from Yagyu's blade.
Whoosh.
At that moment, Kurenai appeared in front of him.
"Yagyu, the battle has begun, deploy immediately for support, this is phase one of the emergency war response."
Yagyu frowned slightly.
"I understand, but before that, I have something else to do, do not worry, Kurenai-senpai."
Kurenai did not question further and left instantly.
As Konoha's top rookie, she trusted Yagyu to act appropriately.
After she left, Yagyu moved to Ino, his mother, and Ino's mother, and released them from the genjutsu.
The moment they woke, Yagyu spoke immediately,
"The Sand and Sound Villages have launched an attack on Konoha, this is phase one response, the situation is urgent, I will take you to the shelter first, we will talk later."
As he spoke,
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Three Sound ninja rushed in from behind.
Clang.
Without turning around, Yagyu swung his blade three times in a flash.
Slash, slash, slash.
All three were killed instantly.
"Ino, take them to the shelter, do not worry about safety, I will handle all enemies nearby."
There was no need for further explanation.
Seeing the chaos and battles everywhere, Ino immediately understood the urgency.
"I understand."
Her expression turned serious as she grabbed a ninja tool pouch from a fallen enemy.
Since she had come as a spectator, she had not brought equipment.
After preparing, she turned to their mothers.
"Mom, Aunt, let's go."
She pulled them and headed toward the exit.
There was no fear.
As long as Yagyu was there, it was enough.
Seeing her move, Yagyu followed.
Blade in one hand, kunai in the other.
Lightning chakra flowed around him, greatly increasing his speed.
Inside the arena, many Sand and Sound ninja attempted to intercept them.
But against Yagyu, none could resist.
Slash.
After cutting down several more attackers, Yagyu spoke coldly,
"If you want to kill me, at least send a jonin squad."
He disappeared again, escorting them forward.
Ten minutes later, Yagyu, now stained with blood, brought them safely to the shelter behind the Hokage Rock.
Many civilians had already gathered there.
"It is safe here."
Holding his blade, Yagyu looked at Ino.
"Ino, I leave them to you, I will return to the battlefield."
Ino nodded seriously.
"I understand, be careful."
Yagyu smiled faintly.
"Do not worry, I am strong."
Crackle.
In the next moment, he vanished.
Battle.
Everywhere, battle and killing.
According to Konoha's response protocol,
Phase one was eliminating enemy infiltration units.
Phase two was evacuating civilians.
Phase three would be full force counterattack.
Right now, phases one and two were happening simultaneously.
Only a small number of elite ninja and ANBU were holding the line.
The main burden fell on elite jonin.
Clang.
Slash.
Three Sand ninja heads flew into the air.
Blood sprayed from their necks.
"Three more."
Standing on a rooftop, Yagyu spoke calmly.
"Phase three will take some time, if I want to build reputation, I need to move faster."
Just as he prepared to continue,
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Three figures appeared in front of him.
This time, all three were jonin.
"That is the target."
The leader spoke coldly.
"Konoha's strongest new generation genius, eliminate him."
Yagyu showed no fear.
Instead, he asked with interest,
"How did you track me so accurately?"
The jonin looked at him as if he were foolish.
"You are the only genin actively fighting on the battlefield, was it hard to find you?"
