The Shadow of Konoha

"Are you okay?" Hanyu turned his head and asked the ninja he had saved behind him.

"...Well, you won't die..." The other party looked at the forehead protector worn by Hanyu in a daze . The Konoha logo on it was very obvious. The appearance of friendly forces obviously surprised him. Then he realized what he should say at this time. "Thank you, there are a lot of enemies. Be careful."

Hanyu nodded. To Konoha, this was completely an enemy battle. Moreover, this barrier was an encirclement set up by the enemy. It was natural that the other side would have the advantage in numbers... Hanyu's eyes swept across the battlefield. He roughly counted what he could see and found that there were about 20 people here.

Because of Hanyu's sudden intrusion and the fact that he instantly made one of Ame's men lose his combat effectiveness, the enemies who were fighting also paused their movements at this moment.

"Can you stand up?"

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the troubled Konoha team immediately withdrew from the battle, and the remaining three people gathered around the wounded man. The captain of the team asked this, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to try to help the other person stand up.

"It's no problem, Captain."

The injured team member barely stood up with the help of the captain, and then he put his hand to cover the side of his abdomen... His injuries were not easy.

Then, the captain asked Hanyu, "Are you alone?"

"No, after hearing the sounds of fighting here, I rushed here at top speed, but my team members lagged behind a little bit," Hanyu said.

Normally, if two Konoha teams meet in a place like this, there is a strict identification procedure to distinguish each other's identities and confirm whether they are truly friendly forces. But in the current situation, they don't have the extra time to execute them one by one.

What's more, Hanyu just saved a person under a very extreme condition, which basically confirms that he is a friend rather than an enemy.

The captain once again glanced at the enemies who were ready for battle, and then he half-hung the wounded soldier on himself and said to Hanyu, "Move, fight while retreating."

"Understood." Hanyu responded immediately.

Because of the numerical disadvantage on their side, choosing to fight more flexibly and agilely in motion is far more reasonable than confronting , so Hanyu agreed with the other party's statement... Although he knew that due to the barrier opened around them, the space left for them to move was actually very limited, but it was better to move than to stay still at this time.

So with just one word, everyone retreated into the woods without saying a word.

At this time, the enemy also understood that there was nothing wrong with their plan. Even if Konoha received reinforcements, it would be at most a small team.

"Chase!"

Naturally, they took pursuit action against the fleeing Konoha people.

But just this difference between the two was enough to break up the previously concentrated formation of the Rain Ninja.

Hanyu was at the end of the Konoha team, always paying attention to the situation behind him. Then, as if he realized something, he first glanced to the right side of his body, then suddenly turned around and threw two kunai at the enemy chasing in the front.

With the help of Thunder Escape, his attack was quick and swift, so he blocked the enemy's way with just these two throwing items.

But this was not a fatal attack. Just as Hanyu was always paying attention to his back, the enemies behind him were of course also closely watching his movements... And that's how shuriken are. Hanyu can throw them randomly and the enemies can dodge them.

The enemy naturally paused, moved away from the front, and then nimbly moved to the trunk of a big tree on the other side.

Just as he was making this evasive move, Hanyu, who was 20 meters in front of him, suddenly turned 180 degrees. At the same time, lightning flashed on his body, and a violent chakra reaction erupted from under his feet. Then he rushed back like an arrow.

"How dare you fight back so boldly?"

The enemy had never expected that someone among the fleeing Konoha ninjas would take such a bold counterattack, but he was not afraid at all because he knew that there were a large number of teammates following him who could provide cover for him.

However, he miscalculated two things.

First, he didn't expect Hanyu to be so fast. He only saw Hanyu turning around, but there was almost no sensory time transition. The figure of the young enemy suddenly appeared in front of him.

Even though everyone in Konoha was already trapped in a jar, no one could cheat no matter how desperate the situation was. At this time, the enemy realized that Hanyu might have a problem with his character.

Second, when his feet stepped on a new foothold on another big tree, he suddenly found that he could not move at all, and could not carry out the counterattack he had expected.

The purpose of Hanyu's ninja tool attack just now was not to slow down the enemy's pursuit speed, but just to force him to move... because as long as the opponent moves to the other side, he will step on the control skills of Hanyu's teammates.

The result that followed was already determined. Hanyu's Lightning Release: Kurikara easily pierced through the opponent's chest.

Hanyu struck and ran without hesitation. He turned around and stabbed an enemy with lightning speed, then immediately withdrew from the spot. Almost at the same time he left there, the sound of kunai shuriken nailing into the tree trunks, as well as wind escape technique, fire escape technique and other area escape techniques came over his head.

The Rain Village ninjas actually launched an attack on their companion without hesitation... Because the people behind them saw everything clearly, they knew that their companion was no longer alive.

So when Hanyu turned around to look back, he just saw a body with its arms and legs torn apart falling from mid-air... He was responsible for killing people, and the enemy was responsible for destroying the bodies, and the cooperation between the two sides was very good.

"You have a good understanding of each other and cooperate well." He then said this out loud.

Of course, he wasn't saying this to his enemies.

The other three members of the team had quietly followed Hanyu at this time. In terms of time, they should have rushed over to join him.

"After all, our team has been established for some time , so this bit of cooperation is expected." Nagisa responded. He did not think that this kind of simple cooperation was something worthy of praise.

"Now...what's the situation? What should we do next, Hanyu?" Then he asked again.

"Let's follow the friendly forces ahead for now," Hanyu said.

To be honest, he had no way to escape. At this time, he could only choose to temporarily act with another Konoha team. As for what to do next, he could only take it one step at a time.
