Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 49 The Frontier Incident
"Teacher, what do you mean, I was the only one who sent reinforcements from the Uzumaki Kingdom?" Xue Hui asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's enough for you to come alone. I have my own arrangements. It's not good if there are too many." Tobuma was already planning how to deal with those opposing voices.

Seeing Fei Jian's appearance, Xue Hui, who was familiar with Fei Jian, also understood something, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I understand. After receiving the notice, I will come alone." Xue Hui agreed.

The next day, with a bang, the mountain gate collapsed and was completely sealed. Since it was located in the deep mountains of the Land of Fire, no one noticed the change except a lot of birds.

……

A month later.

Tobima was handling the affairs of the village in Hokage's office as usual.

"Urgent report! Hokage-sama, the ninjas patrolling at the junction of the Kingdom of Thunder have been attacked!" An Anbu appeared at the desk in Tomona and knelt on one knee to report.

Suddenly, Tobima stood up quickly.

"Is there a detailed report? Get it quickly!"

"One of the ninjas was injured and escaped, and he is rushing here while receiving treatment." Anbu reported truthfully.

Not long after, a young ninja with several blood-oozing bandages wrapped around his body was escorted by members of the Uchiha Guard, and motioned for the two Uchihas to retreat, before Tomona looked at the said to be the only survivor. witnesses.

"I remember you, boy with good talent, how about it, can you still tell me what happened in full?" Tobima relied on his excellent memory, and recognized this gloomy ninja after a short recall, after all None of the ninjas sent to the border realm during this special time period will be too weak.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, the weak young Genin sitting on the ground couldn't help but shed tears.

"Master Hokage, I, it's all my fault. It was because of my proposal that they were killed, but I survived. I really, really..."

The young ninja was crying and talking intermittently, and at the same time, he kept hitting the ground with his injured hands hard, completely ignoring the re-opening wound, allowing the blood to infect the bandage again, as if the physical pain could Soothe the pain in your heart.

"There's no need for this. Ninjas must be prepared to face these situations. What's more, they must have chosen to let you survive, didn't they, Gu Jie?"

Tomona walked to Genin's side and bent down, put his hands on the other's back, patted him lightly, and comforted him.

"Okay, you can tell me the situation now, if you still want to avenge your companion." Seeing that Kosuke had slowed down, Tomona asked as he stood up.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I'm sorry for my gaffe. The thing is..."

Gu Jie wiped away his tears, stood up firmly, and reported the key information while supporting his crumbling body.

Two evenings ago——

Konoha's guard station on the border of the Land of Thunder.

"Tonight's arrangement is like this, you go to route No. [-], you go to route No. [-]..."

A middle-aged Jōnin with a pineapple head pressed his hand on the map, clearly assigning tonight's patrol route.

"Also, as usual, there is a secret whistle, it's okay, right?"

"Leave it to me, Yoshino." Yamanaka replied with a smile.

"The defense of the garrison is still taught to you, take root." Nara Yoshino patted his tired head, and said to Akimichi who was beside him.

Seeing Akimichi nodding his head, Yoshino Nara stretched his waist, and exhorted the Chunin ninjas who were about to go out on patrol in front of them:

"Although there has been nothing abnormal in the past few weeks, don't take it lightly. I think you all know what happened in the battlefield of the two Dainin Villages over there, from the report sent by Konoha. Don't feel cruel. This It's war. When you go to the battlefield, you either die or you forget. We have all used these methods in the past. Well, don't think it's annoying for me to remind you repeatedly every day. You also understand that I am the person who fears trouble the most. Now, let's go!"

"Yes!" After all the zhongxia ninja stood up and answered, they left the station according to their respective teams.

"Captain, I didn't expect to change the route today." After leaving the camp, Gu Jie said in the four-person team.

"This is the strength of Nara Jounin, don't complain, the plan he made must be the most suitable." Among the two Chunin, the short-haired Chunin who is the captain is stronger and patted Kosuke shoulders.

"I hope tonight is safe and sound." The only woman on the side, the Sentinel who was in charge of perception, clasped her hands in prayer.

"Don't worry, we're here, don't you think so, Kosuke, you should be able to become a Chunin after this mission is completed?" Another Chunin with a sword on his back comforted.

"Haha, that's right, don't worry if we're here! But for Chunin, I have to work harder to make achievements!" Gu Jie scratched his head in embarrassment, and then replied with enthusiasm.

"Well, very good, keep it up, keep up now!" The calm voice of the captain who was exploring the way ahead came over.

The three hurriedly ended their conversation and hurried on their way.

Walking along the route, except for the rustling of footsteps passing by the weeds and the chirping of insects at night, the four of them did not hear any other movement. The full moon also came directly above.

"Wait!" Just when Gu Jie felt a little boring, the careful female servant called out to several other teammates.

"What's the matter?" The captain asked softly while quickly setting up a circle of guards.

"It's okay, there's no one around." The female ninja first reported the surrounding situation, and then expressed her own perception results.

"On the right side of our path ahead, about a few hundred meters away, there are two Chakra reactions."

The Zhongnin Captain, who remembered the patrol route, recalled that there were no Konoha ninjas there. Even if it was a secret sentry, there could not be two of them, and they would not be so easily discovered by the team's ninjas.

So the captain signaled to continue to be vigilant, and at the same time confirmed the detailed information to the ninja:

"There are only two people on the other side?"

"It should be, there is no other Chakra reaction around." The female ninja put her hand on the ground, felt it carefully again, and then shook her head to answer.

"What about strength?"

"Judging from the Chakra feedback, at most it's a Chunin, and it's still a relatively weak one." Said the female ninja.

The Chunin captain frowned. This situation is the most difficult. The two ninjas who appeared suddenly had other information unknown and deviated from the patrol route. According to the patrol, if the opponent's strength is not strong, they should go and have a look.But now is a special period. Thinking of Nara Jonin's reminder just now, it is safest to report back directly.

For a moment, the Zhongnin captain frowned, in a dilemma. This is the lack of experience that has not experienced the baptism of war.

"Captain, I think we should go and have a look. With the strength of our team, as long as we are careful, the opponent will have only two ninjas with the most Chunin strength, so there will be no problem!" Gu Jie proposed, with a hint of expectation on his face.
