The Shadow of Konoha

Hanyu untied an extra ninja tool bag tied around his waist, then he tore open its seal with one hand, reached his fingers filled with chakra into it, and after squeezing something hard, he threw the ninja tool bag behind him.

The ninja tool bag was thrown accurately onto the faces of the enemies who were chasing from behind, and then fierce flames and violent explosions were heard one after another.

All this made the eyelids of the friends following Hanyu twitch violently. To be honest, they had never seen such a lavish way of using detonating tags before. It was as if these things were free... Well, they were indeed free, after all, they were seized from the enemy.

But if Hanyu knew about this idea, he would definitely complain that his friends were not poor in their pockets, but in their imaginations... You know, there is a technique called the Multiplication Detonating Talisman, and there is another technique called the 600 Billion Cluster Detonating Technique.

So throwing a bag of detonating talismans is not a big deal, just sprinkle some water.

Now, Hanyu used the captured detonating tags to resist the enemy's offensive trend, which could be regarded as giving someone a taste of their own medicine, which was really the most appropriate thing to do.

As if they had realized the effect of the detonating tags, the other three members of the team also took out the detonating tags they were carrying, but the way they used them was not as rough as Hanyu's.

Unlike Hanyu, who was a half-way ninja, they were professional ninjas who had been systematically trained by the Konoha Ninja School. Their proficiency and adaptability in the use of various ninja tools far exceeded that of their captain... Besides throwing kunai and shuriken, what else did Hanyu know? In a sense, his shuriken throwing technique was not even professional.

While Nagisa and his two companions were moving at high speed, they were also sticking detonating tags one after another on the path that they had passed or the path that the enemy was about to pass in a more covert manner. At the same time, in order to hide such actions and interfere with the enemy's judgment and tracking, they also released smoke bombs.

It's just a pity that the heavy rain in the sky interfered with the implementation of this tactic. The smoke bombs were dispersed by the rain before they could spread far.

The captain of the Konoha team in front also let go of the wounded man he was supporting, allowing the other party to follow the team reluctantly. Then he slightly reduced his movement speed until he was parallel to Hanyu.

"Based on the two attacks you just launched, you should not be an unknown person, so you are..." he asked Hanyu.

For ninjas carrying out confidential missions, even if they all belong to the same village and are carrying out a common mission, this kind of behavior of asking about their identities is theoretically inappropriate. However, for some reason, the other party still asked this question.

Earlier, Hanyu first saved a team member, and then when the enemy started to chase him, he made a clean counterattack. The high-speed physical skills and instant body movements he demonstrated were by no means simple, so the opponent thought he was no ordinary person.

The captain should have heard of such a young and capable ninja, but he had no impression of Hanyu at all, which was a bit puzzling.

Hanyu thought to himself , I am sorry to disappoint you. I am really just a nobody. Although the other party's question was inappropriate, there was no need to keep his current identity secret, so he said, "My name is Hanyu Yu, just... an ordinary ninja."

There is nothing wrong with just revealing your name to ninjas from the same village.

However, at this time, Hanyu also noticed the unreasonableness of himself. He was originally going to introduce himself as just an ordinary Genin, but such an explanation lacked credibility and rationality... First, why would a Genin team carry out such a dangerous mission as infiltrating the Rain Country; second, the difference in level is likely to change the subordinate relationship between the two parties. Although the two captains are now communicating on an equal footing, if he is a Genin and the other party is a Jonin, it will inevitably cause Hanyu to lose the right to speak.

It's not possible to ask the Jonin to do things according to the instructions of the Genin, right?

But what was even more surprising was that after Hanyu said his name, the other party was stunned for a moment. He immediately asked as if he knew something, "Is it the Hanyu who killed Monzaemon in the battle with the Sand Village?"

"…It's me."

Didn't Hanyu expect that he actually had a little fame?

He did not realize one thing, that is, no matter how much fame and prestige Monzaemon had on the Konoha front line, after he killed the opponent head-on, all the fame was transferred to him... For the Konoha ninjas who have been fighting against the Sand Village for a long time , he is by no means just a little famous, at least he can be described as famous.

"Then things are easy." After hearing Hanyu admit his identity, the captain recognized his strength even more... Descriptions like genius are just empty names, but Hanyu has real achievements. Isn't this convincing enough?

Even though the aging Monzaemon no longer possesses the spirit he had in his prime, he is still Monzaemon.

The captain continued, "Listen to me... I have an idea. Next, we need to split up. My team will be responsible for finding Rain's barrier team. Once we find something, we will immediately send a signal, and then your team will attack and deal with them, and then break the barrier."

"Disperse actions? That's too dangerous, and... can you guarantee that the enemy's barrier team is within this barrier?" Hanyu questioned.

"Too dangerous" is just a polite way of putting it. Our side is already at a numerical disadvantage, and if we continue to disperse at this time, wouldn't that be courting death?

"If you want to break the barrier, there will always be sacrifices. As long as one of the two teams can successfully withdraw, it will be considered our victory. After that, you must send the news that Amegakure has launched an operation to wipe out our team back to the front-line command center. If it succeeds, then it will be a complete success.

As for the location of the barrier you're worried about, if I'm not mistaken, the barrier should be the 'Wandering World Return Technique'. Normally, when it is unfolded, it can only be centered on the caster, so there is at least a 90% chance that the barrier class will stay inside the barrier." The captain explained.

Hanyu was certainly aware of the dangerous situation at hand, and he even considered the worst-case scenario. However, compared with the captain, his awareness was clearly insufficient.

The captain asked his team to take on the most dangerous task of escaping from the battle. In his words, the mortality rate would be at least 90%. However, this was not out of any spirit of sacrifice. This was the first time the two sides met, and he didn't need to sacrifice for a stranger like Hanyu... He only proposed this out of consideration for the probability of success.

His team was already incomplete and lacked combat power, while Hanyu's team was in good condition. At the same time, the captain also felt that Hanyu's strength was trustworthy and even stronger than his own, so Hanyu's team had a greater chance of survival. In this way, he gave completely rational and even somewhat cold-blooded advice.

If Hanyu was not a ninja with some reputation, it would be another question as to which of the two teams would be responsible for the search mission and which would be responsible for waiting for an opportunity to attack the barrier team.

After all, Hanyu is only a latecomer, and his way of thinking is still not ninja-like enough.

It is indeed cold-blooded. Human lives on the battlefield are just an exchange of numbers, and when a gecko cuts off its tail, it is just trying to survive.

Hanyu took a deep breath, the cold air stimulating his chest and lungs. After a moment, he nodded and said:

"I understand. I'll do as you say."
