Chapter 14 Fighting

Following the gap torn open by the unknown Konoha ninja, Yeshan's team sneaked in safely. Just when Yeshan and others thought they had escaped, an accident happened.

The two ninjas met face to face, and the pitch-black night made Ye Shan almost bump into the ugly face of the opposing ninja.

Ye Shan was speechless. What was this? A special fate? This kind of fate, Ye Shan just wanted to throw it to the ground and step on it a few times.

The three Sand Ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment. They obviously didn't expect that a few Konoha Ninjas would come up from behind them. They couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. If it wasn't at night, I'm afraid the three of them would have been dead by now.

Ye Shan was extremely speechless and had never expected that a team of Sand Ninjas would quietly follow the Konoha Ninjas who had already broken through, but since it had happened, it would be unreasonable not to fight. After all, being steady and being timid are two completely different concepts.

Following the principle of striking first, Ye Shan took the lead in launching an attack. He completed several seals that he had mastered by heart in a very short time. Then the flames illuminated the night, and the fight began.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

As the opponent was prepared, this technique did not cause any damage, but Yamashiro Tatsuya, who cooperated well, rushed into the Sand Ninja formation at the first moment, found a ninja who was also carrying a long sword, and launched his attack.

The sound of iron clashing rang out, and the two men attacked fiercely, their swords aimed at each other's vital points. Under Chen's deliberate guidance, the two disappeared into the night, and only the occasional clanging sound proved that they were still fighting.

This is one of the tactics of Yeshan's team. When the number of enemies is equal to that of their own side, Yamashiro Tatsu will hold back one of them, and then Yeshan and Yamanaka Yuura will try to see if they can kill the enemy quickly, thus forming a situation of having more people against fewer.

"Ninjutsu: The Technique of Confused Mind!" Seeing Yamashiro Tatsuya retreating away, Yamanaka Yuura hid behind Ye Shan and launched the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan.

The Sand Ninja on the left felt his mind dazed, and the kunai in his hand stabbed towards his abdomen uncontrollably.

The Sand Ninja who was performing the spell on the right was shocked when he saw this and shouted, "Katsuji, wake up!"

The Sand Ninja named Katsuji suddenly came to his senses, looking at the kunai that had pierced his clothes, cold sweat broke out on his back, but before he could move the kunai away, a black hand grabbed his wrist and stabbed it hard. In the critical moment, the Sand Ninja Katsuji, who grew up in a difficult environment, had a fierce look in his eyes, and the kunai in his other hand also stabbed the Konoha Ninja in front of him.

He actually planned to exchange one life for another, and was willing to drag Ye Shan down with him even if he was stabbed himself!

But his wishful thinking was doomed to fail, because the steady Yeshan had already released the Great Fireball Technique and took advantage of the Sand Ninja's obstructed vision to complete the Hardening Technique!

'when'

'Puff'

All this happened in a flash, and the Sand Ninja on the right had no time to rescue his teammates, and could only watch as Katsuji was stabbed by the somewhat immature Konoha Ninja. Katsuji's kunai only pierced the opponent's clothes, and after a "dang" sound, it could not move forward.

Anger, astonishment, guilt and other emotions all surged in the Sand Ninja's heart, and were soon covered by boundless murderous intent. Blood debt must be paid with blood, no matter which world it is, it is the standard rule.

"Wind Style: Wind Cutting Technique!"

The ninjutsu in the hands of the Sand Ninja was finally completed after sacrificing a team member. The huge wind blade flew towards Yamanaka Yuura with a whimper. After releasing the ninjutsu, the Sand Ninja took out the kunai without thinking and pounced on Yamanaka Yuura viciously.

He thought clearly that with one man missing on his side, if he could not quickly kill the Konoha ninja in front of him who was able to unleash mind-disrupting ninjutsu, he would probably be defeated even if he was quite powerful.

The fighting qualities of the great country's ninjas were fully demonstrated at this moment. Not only did they possess strong strength, they were also good at finding opportunities to turn defeat into victory in desperate situations!

Facing the Sand Ninja's violent attack, a trace of murderous intent flashed across Yamanaka Yuura's pretty face. She ducked to avoid the wind blades, took out two kunai, and gave a delicate shout to meet the attack.

After a few rounds, the tall and strong Sand Ninja suppressed Yamanaka Yuura in the physical skills competition. After a roundhouse kick, he appeared behind Yuura, whose half body was paralyzed by the concussion, with a bloodthirsty smile, and was about to chop down with the sharp blade in his hand.

Yamanaka Yuura rolled on the ground without caring about the mud, but he was still a little slow because his body was paralyzed, and his back, which had just recovered a few days ago, was cut again.

Just when the Sand Ninja wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the enemy, Hayama, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, launched a fatal attack like a poisonous snake!

"Earth escape technique: beheading in the heart!"

The Sand Ninja was caught off guard and was instantly pulled into the ground by a hand that stretched out from the ground. Before he could struggle free, a kunai cut his throat cleanly.

The eyes of the Sand Ninja who did not die immediately were full of unwillingness. The blood flowing in his veins sprayed everywhere due to the sudden loss of pressure. The lack of oxygen and blood made his brain chaotic, and he soon fell into complete darkness.

The Sand Ninja died, but he stared at another direction with his eyes wide open. There, another Leaf Mountain stood quietly. Without the support of chakra, Leaf Mountain turned into a pile of soil, but it was a soil clone.

The essence of ninja warfare is deception, and the steady Hayama perfectly illustrates the use of deception tactics. When the Sand Ninja pounced on Yamanaka Yuura, his real body dived underground, leaving only an earth clone on the ground to create the illusion that he had always been there for the enemy. The unsuspecting Sand Ninja was fooled, and he was always on guard against the clone, but was pulled underground, and died before he could show his strength.

Looking at the Sand Ninja who died with his eyes open, Yeshan breathed a sigh of relief. He was not idle either. After making a few gestures, he used ninjutsu to drill into the ground to support Yamashiro Tatsu.

After a while, Ye Shan and Yamashiro Tatsu came back and started bandaging Yamanaka Yuura's wound.

After the bandage was completed, Ye Shan and his two companions continued their escape journey tonight. Having suffered a loss once, they had no way of predicting the danger ahead and could only move forward vigilantly.

When the sky was getting light, the Yeshan team, who had run for who knows how far, found a vague outline of the sun in the sky, and they were very excited. They were familiar with the Rain Country and knew that being able to see the sun meant that the Fire Country was not far away.

Sure enough, not long after, they met the Konoha ninja team responsible for reconnaissance. Seeing the fake white eyes in the other party's eyes, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. And Yamanaka Yuura, who had been holding on, suddenly blacked out and fainted.

..............

In the camp of the Fire Nation border guards, Yeshan, who walked in carrying Yuura on his back, was not greeted with applause and flowers, but with a routine inspection.

"Unit affiliation, name, age."

Knowing that this was a routine, Ye Shan did not feel unhappy at all. He forced a smile and said, "Hakumo Ye Shan, 15 years old, from the th Squadron, th Team, st Combat Brigade of Konoha Ninja Village."

The Konoha ninja on the other side frowned and said, "The data shows that he is 14 years old. What's going on?"

"I just had my birthday a few days ago. I'm 15 now."

"..."

"Turn left in front is the temporary hospital, turn right is the temporary mission office. After reporting, go to the military supply department to get a tent." After a pause, seeing the smile on Ye Shan's face, the Konoha ninja reminded: "Hurry up, it's almost time for breakfast."

Don't hit a smiling person. Ye Shan never dared to forget his humbleness for a moment, and he always had a "sincere" smile on his face wherever he went.

After they walked away, Shan Chengchen, who had relaxed, whispered, "Captain, there is blood on your face."

"Where?" asked Ye Shan after touching his face and finding nothing.

"Under the nose."

"..."

Ye Shan's good mood suddenly turned bad. He felt that his image of a sunny boy was a little shattered. He handed Yuura on his back to Chen Hou and walked towards the temporary mission area.

After a cup of tea, Yeshan and Chen, who had finished their report, reunited and integrated into the Konoha camp.

.........

At the Konoha camp in the Land of Rain, the battle was over, and the victorious Sand Village and Iwagakure were cleaning up the battlefield. Although they were the winners, they did not feel the slightest bit of joy. The Konoha ninjas who were surrounded showed great resilience, which made them pay a huge price for every step forward. In the final stage, a group of death squads composed of wounded soldiers made them even more frightened, and a battle of annihilation was turned into a counterattack.

Yeshan's acquaintance Tsuchitaka Okata could not escape this disaster. As a high-end combat force of Konoha, he was tightly entangled by several Sand Ninjas and was finally blown to pieces by the powerful Wind Style Ninjutsu. His death was extremely tragic.

This is the fate of ninjas. As long as there is conflict in this world, no one can be immune. It is just a matter of time.

How the victors would divide the spoils was not mentioned for the moment. Before dawn, the entire Konoha high-level officials were shaken by the war in the Rain Country. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had stayed up all night, did not have time to rest and held a meeting.

The Konoha high-level officials, who had not suffered any major losses since the beginning of the war, pointed their fingers at Uchiha Kagami at the meeting, questioning his leadership ability. They raised their hands on the spot and voted unanimously to kick him out of the decision-making level.

The filthiness of human nature was revealed in the face of interests. When the news of defeat reached the so-called top leaders, the first thing they did was not to deal with the aftermath, but to fight for power and profit.

The Konoha ninjas who were defeated in the Land of Fire were not mentioned in this meeting. It was not until two days later that the first document on how to deal with the aftermath was stamped with the seal symbolizing power and sent to the border.

Regardless of whether Uchiha Kagami is alive or not, he and his family have completely lost the chance to turn the tables. The policies passed down by the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, have been implemented, but the Senju clan, who watched coldly, did not know that the rope had already been put around their necks.

The Uchiha clan, which had once made outstanding contributions, became a tiger locked in a cage from that moment on, allowing the monkeys outside to humiliate them at will. It was also at this moment that the seeds of rebellion were planted in the heart of a Chunin named Uchiha Fugaku.
