Before Keita Sarutobi finished his gossip, Uchiha Munehito came back.
Uchiha Chiho followed with her head lowered, feeling very depressed.
Uchiha Zonghito walked straight towards the three Jonin. When passing by the campfire, he glared at Keita Sarutobi, as if he heard what he just said.
Soon, it became completely dark.
Because they would start patrolling after dawn, they took an early rest.
Three shifts took turns keeping vigil.
In the middle of the night, there is a vigil for Class 12.
The four of them gathered around the campfire to keep warm. The winter night was extremely cold. Even with Bai Yu's constitution, he wanted to get into the tent quickly.
"Bai Yu, I heard that you seemed to have played a big role in Tsunade-sama making the medical scroll, right?"
Hinata Hideto asked seemingly casually as he rubbed his hands to keep them warm.
As a genius ninja who was separated from the Hyuga clan, he was not good at communication, but the clan ordered him to have a good relationship with Bai Yu. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he had to obey.
It's just that he really can't find a topic.
"This is the credit of Tsunade-sama and the entire medical class. As a member of it, I just played my due role." Bai Yu said with a smile, and his answer was very standard, as if he didn't say anything.
Hearing this, Hyuuga Yingren's expression was stagnant and his expression was a little embarrassed. He opened and closed his lips twice, as if he couldn't find any topic, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The scene fell into silence again.
At this time, it was just a few miles away from the camp.
underground.
Four five-man combat teams from Iwagakure Village are lurking here.
Seeing that Sunagakure was declining in the war with Konoha, Iwagakure, who had been standing still, finally couldn't help it anymore.
Due to the inexplicable rampage of Kumogakure's Eight-Tails, which caused huge losses, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki has now returned his attention to Konoha.
Although Iwagakure suffered considerable losses in the previous war, Iwagakure had nothing but a large number of people.
Twenty Iwagakure ninjas were ordered to sneak into the Land of Fire to cause chaos and test how much power Konoha still retains.
At the very least, it must give Konoha a signal that Iwagakure may join the war, and at the same time give hope to Sunagakure Village, allowing them to persist for a longer period of time and consume more of Konoha's strength in order to prepare for Iwagakure's next war against Konoha. .
The biggest mistake Iwagakure made this time was not guarding against Kumogakure, otherwise Konoha would have to pay a heavy price on the battlefield in the Land of Rain.
"Is the investigation clear?"
"Yes, judging from the number of people, there should be a team of 3 jounin, but judging from the chakra intensity I sensed, there are about 4 jounin, one of whom is very strong and difficult to deal with. The other 8 are all The feeling of genin and chuunin.”
"20 vs. 12, the number of Jonin is the same. We have a huge advantage at the Chuunin level. What should I say?"
“My advice is to be proactive.”
"That's right, at least kill a few genin and chuunin. Isn't Konoha full of geniuses and likes to train outstanding newcomers? Maybe there are some here!"
"I agree, I will deal with the strongest Jonin!"
"good!"
With the four Iwagakure jounin reaching a consensus, they decided to attack Konoha's jounin team at night.
...
"Huh?" Oshima Shuichi, who had been leaning on the tree trunk with his eyes closed to relax, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Teacher Shuichi, what's wrong?" Bai Yu asked, noticing Oshima Shuichi's serious expression.
"I always feel cold in my heart, Yingren, check it out with your white eyes!"
Oshima Shuichi said with some uncertainty.
"Yes." Hideto Hideto nodded. Although this place is close to the outpost, when he is keeping vigil, he will still turn on his Byakugan every hour or two to check the situation, just in case something unexpected happens.
Due to the influence of the caged bird, the maximum observation radius of his Byakugan is one kilometer, but this distance can already deal with most unexpected situations.
Roll your eyes open!
Under the dim yellow light of the bonfire, Bai Yu noticed the veins popping out of the corners of Hinata Hideto's eyes, feeling a little ferocious.
"Huh!? Not good!" Hinata Hideto's face suddenly changed, and he said in shock: "Eight hundred meters away, a total of twenty ninjas are surrounding us. They are enemies! With this chakra strength, at least four Jonin!"
"Alert! Wake everyone up!"
Oshima Shuichi stood up immediately.
The sound of the conversation between the two people had woken up Hatake Sakumo and Sakamoto Kota who were resting, and then Uchiha Munehito woke up.
Bai Yu and Uchiha Chiho quickly called the others up.
After Hatake Sakumo received the information, he looked calm and responded quickly:
"Zongren, you, Shuichi, and Kouta are the four of us to deal with the enemy Jonin.
remember! Just hold on! I will help you by taking out the enemies as soon as possible.
The others retreated toward the outpost according to their original team formation, and notified the ninjas there to come for support.
Ready to fight! "
"Yes." Uchiha Zonghito didn't panic at all, his dark eyes instantly turned scarlet, and four black magatama appeared.
Everyone acted according to the order and retreated quickly.
During the retreat, Uchiha Zonghito and the three jonin remained at the rear of the team.
"The enemy is speeding up!" Hinata Toma reminded.
"Disperse!" Hatake Sakumo gave the order, pulled out the chakra dagger behind his back, and advanced instead of retreating.
The distance of several hundred meters was reached in an instant as both parties accelerated.
The short sword in Hatake Sakumo's hand instantly turned silver-white with the infusion of chakra.
laugh!
A thunderous sword light cut through the darkness.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Two screams sounded almost at the same time.
In just one encounter, two Iwagakure ninjas were killed by Hatake Sakumo.
The Iwagakure jounin who led the team was shocked.
The chuunin in the team are not weak, and a group of three can handle ordinary jounin.
With the faint light emitted by the chakra sword and the dim moonlight tonight, the ninjas on the Iwagakure side finally saw the appearance of Hatake Sakumo.
Silver-white chakra knife, stern face, white hair, ponytail, this is...
"No! It's Konoha White Fang!" Iwagakure Jonin was shocked.
The reputation of Konoha White Fang was forged with the blood of shinobi from the four countries.
However, at this time, the two sides were in close combat, and he could only bite the bullet and confront Hatake Sakumo.
"The others go after the retreating ninja!"
Another Iwagakure jounin ordered.
The number of Jonin is equal, but with Konoha White Fang on the other side, winning is impossible.
They can only let the chuunin chase people to attract attention, and then several of them wait for the opportunity to retreat.
As for the pursuing chuunin, it's up to them to ask for their own blessings.
When Bai Yu was preparing to retreat, he recited a spell silently, activated the "Five Senses Enhancement", and at the same time activated the "Sixth Sense".
With his powerful perception and dynamic vision, he could barely see Hatake Sakumo's sword clearly.
Judging from the chakra reactions, the two enemies were not weak, at least they were not ordinary chunin.
However, in a flash of lightning, two people were killed instantly.
It was the first time for Bai Yu to see a ninja of this level explode with all his strength in a life and death battle.
With the help of breathing techniques and spells, he has the confidence to be a jounin, but if he faces the sword from Hatake Sakumo just now...
Is this the strength of Konoha White Fang?
