Duanmu Baiyun of Konoha

Chapter 85 The Difficulty of the Battlefield

After saying goodbye to his mother and Jingyin, Duanmu put on his equipment and rushed to the gate of Konoha again to report at the assembly point of the troops.

Looking back at Muye Village, although it is not as lively as in peacetime, it is still so peaceful.

Sure enough, Princess Tsunade no longer went to the front line. Because of blood phobia, Princess Tsunade was unable to take action in battle, and she was no longer suitable for staying in the front line troops.

Shizune was brought up by Princess Tsunade, and she has a sister-in-law feeling towards Princess Tsunade.

Princess Tsunade is increasingly addicted to alcohol and gambling. Only by anesthetizing herself can she get rid of the pain of losing her loved ones several times.

Shizune, who grew up gradually, saw Princess Tsunade getting drunk every day, and began to take on the responsibility of taking care of Princess Tsunade.

They are all poor people who have lost their loved ones.

Duanmu withdrew his gaze towards the village, and checked the preparations for the battlefield with Tehisa and Hong.

Duanmu felt the seals on the soles of his feet, elbows and wrists, as if this could give him confidence.

Duanmu said to his team members: "Shoujiu, Hong, I have made some progress in ninjutsu recently, we can cooperate more."

Tejiu also said: "Who hasn't improved, when the time comes, don't drop your jaws in shock!"

"I see, let me, the eldest sister, cover you from now on!" Hong Ye said proudly to the two, patted her chest.

Duanmu laughed seeing his teammates: "They are all confident. Recently, they are always practicing squadron tactics. Our team hasn't practiced well yet. We have to make up for it after going to the frontline camp."

Duanmu looked at Minato Jonin at the front, and confirmed the final preparations of the troops with some captains and squadron leaders.

Now, the three squadrons directly under Minato Jonin have a clear division of labor.

Minato Jonin, Akimichimaru, and Yume Shiwei are still the strongest team in the army.

The first squadron, Miyake Squadron, has the most experience and is a squadron fighting at the forefront.

The second squadron, Kakashi Squadron, has outstanding talent, but its strength has not yet reached its full potential. It is responsible for support and long-range attacks.

The third squadron, Nara Shikaku Squadron, is responsible for assisting Minato Jonin in commanding and deploying the entire force.At the same time, he also served as the Minato Jonin's messenger.

In Miyake Squadron, as long as you can survive, your combat experience and ability will be improved the fastest.

Duanmu judged that the gap between himself and Kakashi was constantly narrowing.

Duanmu even had the confidence to make a few gestures with Kakashi, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to beat Kakashi, but this was not a shame, no one could beat Kakashi this year.

Minato Jonin at the front gave the order to start.

The people of the third squadron passed the order to the troops behind them to set off.

This 1000-man force marched towards the front again.

After a week of rapid march, the troops arrived at the front camp.

The battlefield came to the border of the Fire Nation, surrounded by lush and tall trees, and the camp was built in a clearing in the woods.

Minato Jonin took some Jonin captains to the headquarters tent and reported to Sannin Jiraiya.

According to Duanmu's observation, Konoha already had a practice in wartime, and only Jonin could be the captain of the battalion, commanding three squadrons and nine squadrons.

Especially Jonin and senior Chunin, at best they can only serve as the squadron leader.

The Duanmu team still went to the logistics department to receive the equipment distributed by Konoha Village, including some kunai and shurikens.

Still not used to the shuriken, Duanmu kept a few shuriken meanings, and gave the rest to Shujiu and Hong.

Duanmu walked in Muye's camp and found that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

Regardless of these, Duanmu and Hong went to rest.

After a while, the energetic Tehisa also returned to the tent.

Tejiu hurriedly said: "Duanmu, Hong, the atmosphere in the army is very depressing, did you see that?"

Red put down the ninjutsu scroll in his hand, and asked Tetsuhisa: "I can see, did something happen to the troops that are standing still?"

"That's right, before we came, the entrenched troops had just experienced a battle." Teku paused, then continued sadly: "Do you remember Akimichi Toda of the Asma team? He died."

Duanmu was shocked. He still remembered that he was a little fat man who didn't talk much. He was a defensive ninja specially configured for Asma. Even he was sacrificed. It seems that the battle must be very tragic.

A moment of silence for this Konoha compatriot. Although there were some quarrels before, in the war with the outer village, those small conflicts were nothing.

"There are still many people, and the teacher who led the same team also died."

I sighed in my heart, it seems that the battle with sand ninja is very difficult.

In the evening, Duanmu's classmates from the same class, organized by a few squad leaders who became Chunin, went to commemorate the classmates who died.

The tents of the ninja team are very close, and they choose to gather with their familiar ninja friends.

When passing by a tent, Duanmu saw the pineapple head, which gave him the most headache, came out of a tent.

It's really a narrow road.

Not bothering to make eye contact with Nara, Duanmu looked at the tent behind him, which had the clan emblem of the Qiudao clan on it.

Duanmu dodges far away, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

The newcomers of the same class gathered under the simple condolence tablet in the camp to express their grief for the dead.

Asma and others stood in the front row, and the newcomer Duanmu and others stood in the back row.

Duanmu had nothing to do at night, and by the moonlight, Duanmu was going to find a place to train.

Duanmu met a person who surprised him.

In the small training ground specially set up in the camp, Duanmu saw Sarutobi Asma who was sweating profusely.

Asma has not yet grown a beard and looks very young.

Duanmu and Asma looked at each other, Duanmu spoke first: "My condolences, Asma."

Asma lowered her head silently: "Duanmu Baiyun, can I practice duel with you once?"

Thinking of Asma's sad expression in the evening, Duanmu was ready to temporarily let go of his prejudice against Asma: "Of course."

The two are like a school, forming a seal of opposites.

Asma put out his Chakra weapon Feiyan and rushed towards Duanmu quickly.

Duanmu was thinking about countermeasures.

It's not about the countermeasures for the battle, but how much effort should be exerted.

In the end, Duanmu decided to fight with all his strength to let Asma understand that he is not the eternal center, and that fighting is not a game played by a group of people with the young master.

Duanmu's legs exerted strength, and at the same time, the seal on the soles of his feet was activated, emitting a swirling airflow.

During the previous training, Duanmu discovered a trick.

If you want to translate left and right, your feet can emit a vortex that rotates in the same direction, and your feet will give the body a horizontal thrust in the same direction, which can have unexpected effects.

From Asma's point of view, Duanmu's body shifted strangely, as if his body had achieved the effect of moving one step without moving his body.

Then Duanmu rushed into his arms at a speed that he couldn't see clearly, punched him in the abdomen, and Asma fell to his knees in pain.

Asma's tentative attack was not over yet, and before she could react, she was knocked down by Duanmu.

"I feel sorry for the sacrifice of your teammates." Duanmu continued: "However, you still need to become stronger, otherwise you will not be able to protect your teammates."

Asma clutched her aching belly and said, "Thank you. I see."
