Chapter 18: The Third Great Ninja War, Eve
Konoha 44 years.
After the Second Ninja World War, after years of development, there have been constant frictions on the border.
Only this time it's a little different.
A large number of ninjas from the Sand Village left the village and invaded the border of Konoha, causing the deaths of a large number of civilians and ninjas.
Leaf Border.
A man dressed as a wanderer was walking in the mountains and forests.
The silver-white hair was very eye-catching, it was Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.
Even though he left Konoha Village, due to frequent chaos on the border, he still silently helped the Konoha ninjas.
The Konoha ninjas who were rescued by him also kept it a secret and did not mention his existence to their superiors.
In fact, the current border commander Orochimaru has long been aware of Hatake Sakumo's existence, and the two sides have an unspoken understanding.
call out! !
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard, and Hatake Sakumo stopped to avoid the unknown attack.
Looking closer, several thousand nails were pierced into the trees, emitting a light corrosive smoke.
Is Du Senbon the puppeteer of Sunagakure?
Senbon is a needle-shaped weapon. If used with poison, the ninja may accidentally poison himself.
Therefore, the highly poisonous Senbon is usually only installed on the puppets of Sand Village.
Hatake Sakumo put his hand on the short sword and quickly scanned several suitable places to hide.
When footsteps sounded, a red-haired boy appeared in front of him.
"White Fang, I finally found you..." The handsome red-haired boy had a blank expression on his face, and there was no fluctuation in his tone.
Just like... a puppet.
"Red Sand Scorpion... the genius puppeteer of the Sand Village..."
Hatake Sakumo frowned slightly, he knew this boy.
Known as the most talented puppeteer in the history of Sand Village, and the grandson of Sand Village advisor Chiyo.
the most important is……
His parents died in his own hands.
"You are here to seek revenge on me."
Scorpion nodded, then shook his head.
"I just...want to make you into a timeless work of art."
……
"I'm not a Konoha ninja now. Letting you leave alive is the greatest mercy I can give you." Hatake Sakumo said in a deep voice.
If he was still a Konoha ninja, a genius like Scorpion of the Red Sand would definitely be killed without mercy, and it would be best if he was captured and brought back to the village alive.
It is impossible for Hatake Sakumo to just wait to be killed when someone comes to seek revenge on him.
I am willing to let Scorpion go, but I still feel sorry for him because he has lost his parents.
"Konoha White Fang, how arrogant you are."
Scorpion stretched out his hands and the ground broke into pieces.
A huge pit appeared, and dozens of puppets flew out at high speed!
The sky was filled with poisonous thousands of leaves, shooting out like a rain of pear blossoms!
He can actually control so many puppets!
You have surpassed your parents...
A silver-white flash appeared, and all the chakra threads were cut off wherever the knife passed!
With a clanging sound, all the thousands of swords were chopped into pieces.
Hatake Sakumo's eyes were cold, and his blade was pointing at Scorpion of the Red Sand.
"If Chiyo was responsible, she would have told you..."
"There's no way a puppeteer can defeat me!"
Hatake Sakumo lacks range attack ninjutsu, and his chakra capacity is not as high as that of some people with outstanding talents.
but……
As long as the opponent is a human, Hatake Sakumo will find a way to kill him!
Especially the puppeteer, whose body is fragile, is even more vulnerable to him.
The Red Sand Scorpion was not surprised that dozens of puppets were destroyed.
It is natural for Konoha White Fang, who is famous in the ninja world, to have such strength.
"Granny Chiyo told me."
"So... I am no longer just a puppeteer."
The outer garment of the Red Sand Scorpion was torn open by the sickle, revealing its puppet body, and the chains on its abdomen looked like a swimming snake.
Hatake Sakumo's pupils shrank slightly, and his voice was low: "Really... crazy..."
"No matter how many times it is broken, it can be repaired. It is not limited by life span. This immortal art..."
“Isn’t it beautiful!!”
"You have fallen into the evil way!" Hatake Sakumo was about to pick up the sword, but found that the short sword, which he could use with ease in normal times, had a noticeable sluggishness.
This feeling... Could it be!
呲——
This moment of distraction caused an iron spear to cut his arm.
boom! !
A huge cylinder of metal fell from above, creating a huge cloud of smoke.
Hatake Sakumo saw clearly that the person standing on the metal pillar...
No...it should be called a human puppet.
"The Third Kazekage!!"
Why would the Third Kazekage appear here!
Why was the Third Kazekage made into a puppet?
"Konoha White Fang, in order to kill you, I assassinated the Third Kazekage..."
A hint of crazy smile appeared on the handsome face of Scorpion of the Red Sand.
"Come on! Let's become immortal together!!"
"Magnetic Release - Iron Sand Technique"
The black iron spread like roots, covering the entire sky.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Hatake Sakumo's forehead.
This is really... troublesome...
-
Konoha Border Command.
In the temporary residence of Commander-in-Chief Orochimaru.
"Jiraiya asked you to come... you are really a strong support."
Long black hair, elongated golden pupils, purple eyeshadow that extends to the wings of the nose, and pale skin.
The current Orochimaru has not yet fallen into evil ways, he just has a colder temperament.
Namikaze Minato scratched the back of his head and smiled, "I'm really sorry, Lord Orochimaru, the situation at other borders is also very tense, so the teacher had no choice but to send us here."
Orochimaru shook his head: "Minato-kun, I am not being sarcastic. The strength of the three of you is truly a strong support."
"You, the youngest jonin, possess the Flying Thunder God Technique..."
He turned his gaze to the two men following behind Minato and smiled, "The most talented young man in the Uchiha clan was promoted to Chunin the same day he became a ninja."
"And there is also the son of Konoha's White Fang, Kakashi-kun, who is known as the Twin Stars of Konoha along with Kagami-kun."
"What an enviable talent..."
After another year of medicinal bathing, Uchiha Jing's height had reached nearly 1.6 meters. He had lost his immaturity, and some people would believe he was a boy of 14 or 15 years old.
Kakashi, who is eight years old, is a head shorter and hasn't grown up yet.
"Double stars or something... it's too old-fashioned." Uchiha Jing said indifferently: "Kakashi is worthy of being compared with me?"
"Ah~ That's right, of course I can't compare to Master Jing. I'll beat up anyone who says that when I get back."
Kakashida pulled dead fish eyes.
……
Uchiha Jing didn't understand. During those years at the Ninja Academy, Kakashi would get angry whenever he provoked him.
When did he start speaking in such a sarcastic tone?
Namikaze Minato turned around and patted the two men on the shoulders: "How rude! Salute Lord Orochimaru first!"
After the Uchiha Mirror, Kakashi also passed Jiraiya's test.
The three of them now are like brothers in the same school, and their relationship is even closer than in the squad mode.
Just like Hiruzen and Danzo.
Kakashi is a guy who has been promoted to a higher generation. He was supposed to be a disciple of Minato Namikaze, but now he has become his junior fellow apprentice.
"It's okay, Minato-kun."
Orochimaru waved his hand to indicate, "This is an emergency. I'd better assign you tasks first."
"Twelve miles west from here, we found a group of Sunagakure ninjas, one of whom is very troublesome."
"Yakura of Sunagakure is a rare bloodline ninja..." As Orochimaru said this, his eyes fell on Uchiha Kagami.
Among the people present, only Uchiha Kagami is a bloodline ninja.
There are also differences in bloodline limits. The bloodline limits that can be obtained through practice are generally not as good as the bloodline limits that can be inherited through blood.
Among the inherited bloodline limits, eye-jutsu ninjas are special.
Simply put, bloodline ninjas look down on ordinary ninjas, and dojutsu ninjas look down on ordinary bloodline ninjas.
Those eyes...
No matter how much you practice, you can never obtain the eye technique bloodline limit...
Unconsciously, a hint of greed appeared in Orochimaru's eyes.
……
"For the sake of Sensei Jiraiya..." Uchiha Kagami suddenly spoke.
The scarlet Sharingan appeared in his eyes.
"Next time you look at me like that, I'll dig your eyes out."
