Chapter 21 Attacked

Before he knew it, Kakugi was 9 years old and had been a ninja for nearly a year.

Kakugi spent his 9th birthday at the Konoha border post near Kawanoguni.

The Kingdom of Kawa has always been a buffer zone for the collision between Konoha and Suna Ninja. But now, the Sand Ninja is ready to make another move.

With the changes in the battle situation in the ninja world, Konoha, which originally repelled Kumogakure, is now retreating steadily in the face of the attacks of the Iwa ninja, which inevitably makes people think a little bit.

Has Konoha already had most of its power consumed by Kumogakure?

Then let us Sand Ninja expose the mask of Konoha's outer strength and middle strength!

The sand ninja, who is deeply troubled by the poverty in the country, now urgently needs to take a bite of the soft persimmon and get a wave of blood back.

The village, which was concentrating on dealing with the Iwa Ninja's offensive, became tense instantly after noticing the Suna Ninja's strange movements.

The Third Hokage made a prompt decision and sent his "diplomatic ace" Mito Kadenen to the Sand Ninja to discuss joint matters.

The Third Generation's idea was to unite with the Sand Ninja and jointly send out Iwa Ninja troops, with Konoha pulling the Iwa Ninja forces from the front, and the Sand Ninja sending troops from the Kingdom of Bears to raid the interior of the Iwa Ninja.

Does this tactic sound familiar? This was also the original plan of Konoha and Kumogakure.

The results of it? Kumogakure didn't catch anything, and even got a Third Raikage in vain, and he's still licking his wounds to this day.

The Third Kazekage, who is known as the strongest Kazekage, was panicked inside and on pins and needles on the outside after hearing Mito Kabutei's plan.

Besides, the Country of Rock, which is full of mountains and rocks, is not as easy to grab as the Country of Fire, which has fertile land.

The Third Kazekage forced himself to calm down, calmed Mito Kadoyan with gentle words, and agreed on the time of the next meeting and the specific details of the discussion.

After Mito Kamenbu left, he immediately decided to step up preparations for the war against Konoha.

Konoha was certainly not a fool, and quickly discovered the clues of the Sand Ninja's preparations for war.

So, after completing their three-month garrison mission, Umino Squad, who had just returned to the village to rest for a long time, received another mission to transport supplies to Kawano Country.

Just like the previous one on the Kumogakure front, it was a collective mission involving multiple teams jointly escorting a large amount of supplies.

Kakugi was pleasantly surprised to find a familiar figure in this team.

"Ibixi!" He quickly said hello while the team was still gathering.

"Ah, it's Kadomu." Ibiki waved in response. He was still very happy to see his old classmates during the mission, with a faint smile on his lips.

Kakugi, who is familiar with Ibiki's character, is not surprised. This guy can show that he is very happy just by smiling.

He put his arm around Ibixi's shoulder and asked, "What's going on? You graduated early too? Which team are you assigned to?"

"Yes." Ibixi nodded in agreement: "The situation in the village has been very tense recently, and the Ninja School has stipulated that one should graduate at the age of 10. I can't learn anything more in the Ninja School, so I came out a year early."

"I am now in Mr. Kimura's team. Mr. Kimura is a powerful and reliable ninja..." Speaking of the teacher who led the team, Ibiki looked full of admiration.

Kadomu nodded. He had also heard about Kimura Shu. He heard that he was a jounin who cherished his subordinates and should be a good teacher.

"It's just that I didn't expect to receive such a large-scale B-level mission so soon. I'm really looking forward to it." Ibiki's eyes were shining with the light of "Will of Fire".

Alas, this melon boy...

This kind of rookie genin who had just graduated recently came to participate in a large-scale B-level mission. Kazuoki couldn't imagine what would happen if he encountered an enemy.

Kakugi used the system to detect Ibiki's attributes, which include fire and yin chakra attributes, and his strength is at the D+ level.

It's pretty good among genin, but on the battlefield, it's not good enough...

The arm holding Ibixi's shoulder tightened, and his lips came close to his ear:

"If you encounter an enemy, don't stand there stupidly. If you have a chance, approach your teacher. I will also look for the opportunity to find you. In short, don't die easily, understand!"

Kadomu's serious face shocked Ibiki, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he nodded subconsciously.

"Haha!" Kakugi suddenly smiled and patted Ibiki on the shoulder:

"Relax, don't be so nervous. This time we have three jounin leading the team. Come, I will show you my teammates..."

Without Ibiki's words, Kadaki grabbed Ibiki's arm and walked towards Uminoban.

In this mission, in addition to Umino Ikkaku, there are three jonins, Yuhi Makoto and Kimura Shu, led by Yuhi Makoto, leading a total of eight ninja teams.

Kakugi looked around and saw that even the members of the Chuunin team had sharp eyes, and they obviously had combat experience.

The village takes this mission very seriously...

Kakugi seemed to be laughing and joking on the surface, but his heart became increasingly heavy.

The more the village pays attention to it, the more it proves that this mission is likely to change from B level to A level at any time.

The three jounin discussed on the side and finally decided that the three jounin teams would be located at the front, middle and back of the team.

Umino's class was placed in the middle, and Umino Ikkaku came up and told the three of them a bunch of tactical arrangements.

Kakugi and Kanfata listened carefully, while Kumatete looked like "I'm only responsible for killing people, and the rest depends on the actions of my teammates."

"You." Umino Ikkaku looked at Kumate and gave him a helpless blow.

The team walked peacefully for more than ten days, and finally arrived in the Kingdom of Sichuan. Everyone, including the three jounin, became tense.

After walking for several more days, they had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Sichuan, but nothing happened to the team.

It was early in the morning. The team had a simple breakfast and marched through a jungle. It was already less than 50 miles away from the destination, the Konoha Ninja Army Camp in the Kingdom of Kawa.

"If we advance another twenty or thirty miles, we will reach the warning radiation range of the camp. At that time, even the fourth generation Kazekage will not dare to act rashly."

After several days of intense marching, Xiong Shou, who was highly nervous, finally relaxed at this moment.

"When this mission is completed, I will apply to take the Chunin Exam when I return to the village. Counting the days, this year's Chunin Exam will start in two months."

Xiong counted the days with his fingers and said with a thoughtful expression on his face. He was unaware that Kadomu beside him had turned pale with fright.

Brother, what we are saying is, can you please stop talking nonsense? Seeing that we are about to reach our destination, can we not relax so early?

In fact, Kumato is not the only one who is lax.

A genin from another team not far away laughed and echoed after hearing Kumate's words:

"Yes, when I return to the village this time, I also have to prepare to take the Chuunin exam! I have to show off to my lovely brother when I get back. Our mission this time is also a B-level assignment..."

A kunai was inserted straight into his throat with such force that the tip passed through the back of his neck.

He covered his throat with both hands, searching helplessly for something with his eyes, making a "hissing, hissing" sound, and then fell to the ground helplessly.

There was no more words left for him to say, no chance to show off to his brother.

"Enemy attack! Protect supplies! Rally to me!" Umino Ikkaku shouted.

The three members of Umino's squad quickly pushed the vehicles loaded with supplies together, drew out their ninja swords and kunai, and approached Umino's corner. The nearby teams followed suit.

However, the teams from the front team and the back team did not approach, but heard the same order from Yuhi Zhenhong from the front team and Kimura Shu from the back team.

Three places were attacked at the same time! Kadomu felt cold in his heart.
