The Shadow of Konoha

Among the criteria for evaluating whether a ninja is qualified, there is a very basic and even low-level standard, which is that they must fight for their lives when it is time to fight for their lives.

Everyone is afraid of death, but soldiers cannot avoid the situation where they have to die.

After the captain of the Konoha team discussed and made a decision with Hanyu, he quickly told his team members the next battle plan. Faced with a reconnaissance mission with a very high chance of sacrifice, no one except themselves knew whether they had any complaints. However, everyone knew that they would follow this order...including the member who was already seriously injured.

Hanyu watched the Konoha team disperse in four directions, and then he said to the team members around him, "Try to delay the enemy's pursuit for them. Although there may be more than just the number of Rain Ninjas hanging behind us in this barrier, at least I hope that these people behind us will not interfere with their search operations to the greatest extent.

Nagisa, Yasanagi and Renjuro nodded in turn. They all understood that even though the two Konoha branches were now acting separately, they still had to cooperate with each other and work together if they wanted to escape successfully. "

Of course, it was impossible to hold back all the enemies behind. How could four people hold back twenty people? The enemy was not stupid. After witnessing the scattered actions of the Konoha people, the Amegakure team responsible for the pursuit would of course split a small number of people to continue to pursue the Konoha reconnaissance team. What the Hanyu team had to do was to hold back the remaining people as much as possible. As for the enemies that were chased out in the first place, it would depend on the combat effectiveness of the other Konoha team members... I hope that each of them can deal with the pursuing enemies by themselves.

The sound of detonating detonating tags kept coming from behind Hanyu. The lethality of this thing was unquestionable. If a ninja's vital parts were hit by it, their intestines would definitely be blown to pieces. However, its killing efficiency was very average. The reason was simple: its hit rate... Few ninjas would be killed by a stationary detonating tag trap that was stuck in one place.

Thanks to the lightning circulation system in his body, rather than the disordered energy release attribute, even though he has been active in the shadow state for a long time, Hanyu still has abundant chakra and can continue fighting.

Therefore, the lightning release he is using now should be classified as a ninjutsu rather than a ninjutsu. If it is a lightning release ninjutsu like Raikiri, no one can keep it released for such a long time.

It is precisely because of this that, although Hanyu and others were clearly being pursued, he was still able to charge back repeatedly. Although the enemy had been prepared for his high-speed physical skills, it was impossible for him to kill the enemy as cleanly and efficiently as he did at the beginning, but he was still able to disrupt the enemy's formation and constantly disrupt the enemy's pursuit rhythm.

Because the range of this barrier was very limited, it didn't take long for Hanyu and the others to circle its edge. But it was also because of the range of the barrier that after Hanyu charged back and forth more than ten times and successfully killed and injured three or five people, the signal they were waiting for finally came.

The special high-frequency whistle can be transmitted far away even in the rain.

"rush!"

Without any hesitation or hesitation, Hanyu no longer cared about the enemy chasing him, and instead led his team to rush in the direction where the signal came from.

"Oh no, they discovered the barrier class!"

When the whistle sounded to the ears of Hanyu and others, it naturally reached the ears of the enemy as well. When they saw that the Konoha team, which had been dealing with them before, suddenly abandoned their aggressive behavior and rushed towards the direction of the whistle like mad dogs, the Rain team naturally guessed what had happened over there.

Of course, they immediately continued to follow Hanyu and the others relentlessly, but the pursuit battle just now had proved one thing: they were all ninjas, and no one was much slower or stronger than anyone else. In order to avoid being suddenly attacked and defeated, the Rain pursuit team had to maintain a good formation.

In this way, compared to the fleeing Konoha team, they are more restrained and it is more difficult for them to fully release the pursuit speed, so how can the Konoha team catch up easily? If they could catch up, wouldn't they have caught up long ago... In fact, the only person with a super speed on the battlefield is a member of the Konoha team.

In order to avoid being separated from the team members again, Hanyu, who was at the front, did not even run at the limit speed. He was at ease, but with the three members running for their lives, they soon arrived at the place where the signal came from.

Hanyu's pupils shrank slightly, and he first saw the Konoha captain who was fighting bloody battles among multiple enemies. Then, he swept his eyes across the battlefield and soon discovered three enemies who had never participated in the battle no matter how fierce the battle was.

They were even evacuating in another direction under the protection of an equal number of ninjas.

"Barrier Class!" Hanyu said secretly through gritted teeth.

In this case, the identities of the three ninjas are self-evident.

I don't know how the Konoha team leader did it, but in a not-so-long period of time, he actually found the set target. It's just... the signal was not just to summon the Hanyu team. According to the previously formulated battle plan, after someone sent out the "target found" signal, everyone had to concentrate on this point. But until now, the remaining three Konoha ninjas showed no signs of arriving.

Only the captain with the strongest overall combat power is still alive... At this time, Hanyu had to think so. If they had not arrived in time, the captain who was besieged by the enemy would not have survived for a few seconds.

After the enemy saw another Konoha team suddenly appear at the scene... Even though they had anticipated that this might happen when the only remaining Konoha ninja sent out that signal, they did not expect the other party to come so quickly... On the one hand, they intensified their offensive against the only remaining person, while on the other hand, the Barrier Squad attempted to evacuate the scene as quickly as possible.

Hanyu just glanced at the captain, but did not rescue him who was covered in blood. Instead, he rushed towards the three barrier ninjas regardless of anything.

"Oh no! This guy is too fast, stop him!"

When Hanyu's speed really increased, the enemies suddenly realized how threatening he was, so they had to abandon the almost unstoppable Konoha captain and instead all tried to stop Hanyu.

But at this moment, Hanyu only had eyes for the three barrier ninjas. He didn't care about the enemies surrounding him, because behind him there were trembling bowstrings and ferocious shadows!

In a flash, he had bypassed all the intercepting enemies at an extremely fast speed, and even rushed in front of the barrier squad and their personal guards.

Each of the three people had the same seal on their hands, which was probably the key to maintaining the barrier. In other words, they had no combat capability at this moment... so the key lay only with those three guards!

At this time, the six people in the group had all entered Hanyu's attack range:

Lightning Release: Kurikara!

The sword, as wide as five fingers and carrying a blue glow, suddenly thrust forward, like the infinitely extending sunlight, and in a ten-thousandth of a second, pierced in front of a barrier ninja.

"retreat!"

However, within this limited time, one of the guards still reacted. He rushed forward and pushed away the barrier ninja in an extremely rough manner. At the same time, he sacrificed himself and was pierced head-on by Hanyu's Lightning Release... He could only choose between saving others and saving himself, and the other party chose to be loyal to his duty.

Failed? Blocked? Just when the Konoha ninja and the Rain Village ninja had the same thought in their hearts, they heard Hanyu Takeshi shouting loudly, "All Konoha ninjas, retreat!"

These words made some of the Hidden Rain Ninjas look up suddenly, and then they turned back with horrified eyes, and then found that another barrier ninja had half of his body bleeding. He shook his body, and then fell weakly in the rain.

Hanyu's left hand still extended his lightning blade, but he retracted his empty right hand at this time... No one, whether the enemy or teammates, saw what he did, but he clearly stabbed forward with both arms and hands .

The chakra above and around the head began to dissipate.

One of the barrier ninjas died, so the barrier was broken.
