The Shadow of Konoha

"My lord, the barrier... has been broken."

A Hidden Rain Ninja who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old half-knelt down to report to another Hidden Rain Ninja standing in front of him what was happening not far away.

This is the Land of Rain. Since Amegakure has already launched a campaign to wipe out the Konoha infiltration team, it means that their measures are not limited to blocking the barrier... There will certainly be corresponding forces deployed inside the barrier, and similarly, there will naturally be other backup plans in the vast territory outside the barrier.

"Well, I feel it... He is worthy of being a Konoha ninja. Even under an absolute disadvantage, he can still find a way to break through the desperate situation." The ninja said facing the barrier.

Although there was no barrier in that direction at this time.

"Sir..." There was a hint of panic and a hint of urging in the young ninja's tone.

" Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will take action immediately... The people of Konoha can't leave."

…

On the other side, after successfully killing a Rain barrier ninja, Hanyu immediately reminded his teammates to leave immediately without hesitation. The barrier had been broken, and under the premise that their own strength was weak, it was meaningless to fight with the enemy at this time. What they had to do was to evacuate this place as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded by the enemy again.

"clear!"

In order to intercept Hanyu, the enemies had already given up besieging the Konoha captain, so he was able to withdraw immediately. Hanyu's teammates originally wanted to follow Hanyu into the enemy camp, but before they could take any action, Hanyu had already done everything by himself, so all they had to do was turn 180 degrees and rush back at the same speed and from the same direction they came from.

Hanyu's performance at this moment could be described as a very "ninja" one, as he hit the target with one strike and then escaped. After breaking free from the barrier cage, the group of five people including him immediately made a high-speed breakthrough to the southeast, trying to take the opportunity to evacuate the dangerous area.

The Konoha ninjas moved flexibly and quickly in the jungle, and because Hanyu fiercely stabbed the most deserving target amid the enemy's heavy defenses, the shock and frustration at this moment made the Rain ninjas hesitate for a moment, and by the time they reacted and took up the pursuit again, some time had already been wasted.

This short period of time, which lasted only a few minutes, was enough for Hanyu and others to put enough distance between themselves and them.

Going east or south, returning directly to the Land of Fire, or returning to the Land of Rivers through the border are the only two options before the Konoha team.

The border of the Rain Country itself is not large. If Hanyu and others can travel in a straight line at the fastest speed, they can leave the country in less than a few hours. However, the problem is that this is impossible. They must take a detour all the way and constantly avoid being chased and intercepted by the Hidden Rain Ninja.

The road ahead is not smooth, but the most important thing at the moment is to completely get rid of these pursuers behind him... Just as Hanyu was thinking this, suddenly and without any sign, a slender hand stretched out from the side of his body.

"What?!"

The opponent's movements were silent and ghostly. At the critical moment, a violent chakra flow suddenly erupted from Hanyu's body. He hastily and forcibly changed the direction of his movement and barely avoided the palm by a millimeter.

But then, he was met with another fist.

Moving at such a high speed, it was impossible for Hanyu to maintain the best agility, so he could not make continuous moves and changes of direction. Therefore, with no way to avoid it, he could only cross his arms across his chest and take the opponent's attack.

What he didn't expect was that the power coming from that fist was so unexpected.

With one blow, Hanyu's momentum was abruptly stopped. Not only that, he immediately felt himself being thrown out by a huge force.

His body, flashing with lightning, drew a large arc in the rain, and then he did a back outside edge kick and three and a half turns in the air before he released the force from his body. After barely regaining control and balance, he staggered and landed again.

It's a... strong enemy.

Hanyu's face was covered with water stains, but at this moment he could clearly distinguish which was rain and which was his own cold sweat. If he had not reacted in time, he would have been beheaded.

In other words, he would be killed instantly by the opponent after just one encounter. In an instant, Hanyu understood what the mood of the Rain Hidden Barrier Ninja who had just died was before his death.

A man in gray clothes infiltrated the middle of the Konoha team, and with one strike he isolated the fastest Hanyu far behind him.

Hanyu narrowed his eyes. Through the rain, he could see that the ninja was only in his early twenties. He was clean without any items that could reveal his identity.

But it should be a ninja from Amegakure, and through the attack just now, Hanyu could tell that the opponent was an extremely strong Amegakure ninja.

The retreat journey of the Konoha team does not seem very optimistic.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Hanyu immediately noticed the features on that person's face... His eyes were wrapped in a circle of white bandages.

Was it a special sealing technique to protect the pupils , or was it simply because he couldn't see? Hanyu had no way of judging, but if it was the former, he would have to be more careful... In this world, ninjas who used pupil techniques were particularly worthy of vigilance.

Everything happened in a flash. After the remaining Konoha ninjas rushed forward for a distance, they realized that Hanyu was suddenly stopped. They stopped and became confused... Like Hanyu, they were completely unaware of the sudden appearance of the enemy.

He didn't even realize that the enemy had launched a dangerous assassination.

If the opponent's target of attack was not Hanyu, then the consequences... But at this time, the enemy was alone, and it was a perfect opportunity for Konoha to rush forward and eliminate him. Otherwise, when the people from Amegakure caught up, the situation would be completely opposite.

But before they could take action, Hanyu suddenly raised his arms and abruptly stopped his teammates from taking action.

There is no doubt that seeing the strength displayed by this enemy and being stimulated by the fierce murderous aura displayed by the opponent, Hanyu's teammates got a little hot-headed and lost their judgment.

"Retreat, you guys evacuate first... Don't worry about me, with my speed, I'll be able to get away successfully no matter what." He said.

Of course, Hanyu was fully aware of his teammates' abilities and strengths. Their assistance was of no use at this moment. It could even be said that a multi-person siege was meaningless against the enemy in front of them.

The opponent is a ninja with extreme instant kill capabilities. It is very likely that no amount of skills or teamwork will be of any use in front of him - because he can kill his opponent with extremely violent output damage within the limited time.

The killing power, which is without any frills or logic, is simply not something that ordinary ninjas can withstand.

"Walk!"

Seeing his teammates still hesitate, Hanyu had to emphasize again that he was not being brave, but making the decision based on his own safety.

First, as he said, he is a ninja with the advantage of speed; second, if necessary, he can use space-time ninjutsu to transfer... Although it is only a reverse summoning technique, it is enough to ensure that he leaves the original place.

There was no point in the teammates staying, so Hanyu's attitude of urging them was extremely firm, and frightened by his fierce attitude, everyone in Konoha calmed down.

Everyone has the ability to judge the enemy's strength, so they understand that even if they work together, they will most likely only hold Hanyu back.

The Konoha ninjas understood the current situation, but they just found it difficult emotionally to accept such an arrangement.

At this time, someone was needed to help make up his mind, so Nagisa finally gritted his teeth and said, "Follow the captain's order and continue to evacuate... There is no point in us staying."

It's just a waste of time and will not help the current situation.

After saying that, Nara glanced at Hanyu and immediately continued to evacuate. After he took this action, the rest of the people had no choice but to follow.

Faced with this split action, the enemy did not even look back. Perhaps he thought it was enough to leave Hanyu behind, or perhaps he understood that both sides were in a situation of mutual restraint:

Under his obstruction, Hanyu could not leave, and under Hanyu's obstruction, he had no way to chase.

"Incredible insight, isn't it?" Seeing that his teammates had left, Hanyu stared at the enemy in front of him and spoke .

Putting aside this man's combat capability, catching the high-speed moving Hanyu is by no means an easy task - Hanyu's speed is somewhat unsolvable for ordinary ninjas.

The other party did not make any special movements, and then the man's cold voice came over, "You are a ninja of Konoha, so you should be able to understand that the so-called best insight often requires the most extreme conditions to achieve it - either you have a superior bloodline and have pupil power like the Sharingan or the Byakugan, or... you don't need to see anything and don't rely on vision at all."

To him, nothing can be seen, so everything can be "seen".
