A Wishing Konoha Ninja

After two days of long journey, the support team led by Kazami Shinobu finally arrived outside the border of the Land of Fire.

According to the records in the mission information, Konoha's frontline camp is located in a forest just crossing the border of the Country of Fire, next to a river that rushes along the border of the Country of Yu.

Kazami Shinobu and the others headed upstream along the river. They didn't go far when they noticed sight coming from a hidden place in the woods.

At this time, Dai Iwashi, who was conducting reconnaissance in the front, turned back and reported: "There are three hidden sentries ten miles ahead. They should all be from Konoha."

"Both classes, Leitong and Iwashi, go over and confirm. If it's one of our own, there's no need to say more. If it's the Kumo ninja team, send us a signal immediately." Kazami Ninja thought about it for a while and then made arrangements.

"Received." x8

Being so close to the Land of Fire, most of those secret sentries were from Konoha, but Kazami Shinobi was cautious and still sent two teams to act together.

The facts were as he expected, and Ningzu Lei soon returned here with a strange Konoha ninja.

Namashi Raito introduced: "Captain Kazami, this is the Kumanaka Ninja of Youshi City. He is responsible for taking us to the frontline camp."

Kazami Shinobi took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "Sorry to trouble you, Kumagami Ninja."

Youshi Xiongte looked at Kazumi Shinobi who was smaller than him in front of him in surprise, and for a moment he even forgot to reach out.

"Kuma Hand Ninja"

After being awakened by the echoing screams of the chuunin beside him, Uichi Kumote came to his senses and handed over his right hand. At the same time, he explained: "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect that the jounin captain mentioned by the chuunin is so young."

"War always prompts people to grow faster." After the two shook hands, Kazumi Shinobu continued: "Now is not the time to communicate. We want to rush to the camp as soon as possible."

"Kazami Jonin is right, I will lead you now."

Led by Youshi Xiongshou who is familiar with the terrain, everyone does not need to advance slowly along the winding river as before. They can go directly to the frontline camp, and the speed of the group immediately increases.

Kazami Shinobu and the others probably ran in the forest for less than half an hour before they moved to the edge of the forest.

He could already vaguely see a bunch of simple tents erected on an empty flat land, and a few steps further outside was the shoal by the river.

When the two Konoha ninjas who were guarding outside the frontline camp noticed a movement coming from the woods, they immediately alerted themselves to the surrounding situation.

After catching a glimpse of Youshi Kumate and the twenty Konoha compatriots behind him, they took off their guard.

One of them even laughed and scolded: "It turns out it's you, Kumatetsu, who made me think it was those little bastards of Kumo Ninja. Shouldn't you be standing guard outside?"

"The village has arranged for new personnel to come and take over some of the injured. I am not bringing them here."

"So that's it. It seems that Akamon and the others can finally return to the village."

"I won't tell you any more, I'll take them in first to find Lord Jiraiya and the others."

After going around several tents, Kazumi Shinobu and the others, led by Youshi Kumate, finally arrived in front of a canvas tent that had become stained by weathering and weathering. There were also two ninja guards standing outside.

After arriving here, Youshi Kumate's task of leading the way was over. He turned around and faced Kazami Shinobi and said:

"Kazami Jonin, this is the frontline command center. Since I have to go back to perform my mission, I won't accompany you in."

"Ninja Kumon, thank you for your guidance."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

After watching the bear hands from Youshi leave, Kazami Shinobu took out the mission commission form from his arms and handed it to the guard outside the tent.

Since he had just been promoted to Jonin, and he had done so on the battlefield of Grass Country, naturally few people on the Northeastern Defense Line knew him as a Jonin.

If he were replaced by Orochimaru now, he would probably walk directly into the command center. The two guards would not say a word, and they would have to produce a mission authorization letter like this to prove their identity.

It didn't take long for the two conscientious Konoha chuunin to check the mission request letter handed over from the other side.

After confirming that it was correct, the guard on the left returned the mission request to Kazumi Shinobi, and nodded to him to indicate that there was no problem and he could go in.

Kazami Shinobu immediately filed into the command center with the nineteen companions behind him.

At this time, there were only a few people in the command tent, and coincidentally they were all acquaintances of Kazami Shinobi.

Originally, Jiraiya was discussing the next defensive deployment with the Inokacho trio. Suddenly, he saw Shinobu Kazami walking in with a bunch of young ninjas, and had to stop the previous conversation.

"Xiao Feng Jian, why are you here?" After Jiraiya finished speaking, he immediately patted his head with his hand and asked and answered: "I remember Minato mentioned to me, Xiao Feng Jian that you have become a Jonin now. It was probably Sarutobi-sensei who arranged for you to come here to rotate the staff this time."

Kazami Shinobu gave a thumbs up: "Jiraiya-sama is really good at predicting things."

Opposite Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Dingza learned about Kazami Shinobu's promotion to Jonin for the first time.

"What a congratulations. Feng Jian sees that today's young people are so powerful, and I feel like my retirement days are one step closer."

"I think if senior Duan knew about this, he would definitely feel more comforted."

"Sure enough, you are better than your predecessor. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, Feng Jian."

Hearing someone's thoughts, Jiraiya couldn't help but complain: "Even if I retire, you can still work for a long time, Shikaku."

Yamanaka Haiichi, who is well aware of the character of his best friend, also interjected and joked: "That's right, Shikaku, you can't even think of retiring until we cultivate the next generation of Ino Shikacho."

"Haiichi is right." Akimichi Choza laughed and said jokingly: "And if you stay at home and face Yoshino all day after retirement, maybe you will find it more troublesome."

"My Yoshino wouldn't do that." Nara Shikaku retorted with some lack of confidence: "I think, probably, maybe not."

Seeing Shikaku's henpecked look, Jiraiya and the others couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha"

After laughing, Jiraiya wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and quickly put on a serious expression and said, "Okay, let's stop joking here, let's get back to business."

The young ninjas at the scene looked at the relaxed expressions of the several jounin, and the tension in their hearts that was about to embark on the frontline battlefield could not help but decrease a bit.

"Hai Yi, come and explain to them the current situation here."

"Ok."

Next, under the patient explanation of Yamanaka Haiichi, everyone who came to the front line for the first time had an accurate understanding of the battle situation between Konoha and Kumogakure.

In the early stage of the war between the two sides, Kumogakure seemed to have the idea of ​​waiting for Konoha and Iwagakure to suffer losses before taking action, while also guarding against other hidden villages.

Therefore, there has never been a large number of ninja troops to engage in frontal offensive battles, and they have instead adopted a squad-style infiltration combat strategy.

However, until today when Iwagakure was temporarily defeated and returned to the Land of Earth, and Kirigakure took the initiative to take back the fleet, Kumogakure still did not give up and returned his troops to the Land of Thunder.

Instead, they chose to continuously rotate different Kumo ninja teams into the battlefield, as if treating this place as a training ground, which forced Konoha to continue to maintain some ninja teams here for defense.

Fortunately, Iwagakure and Kirigakure have temporarily retreated, allowing Konoha to free up more manpower to deal with Kumogakure's entanglement.

However, it would not benefit anyone if both sides continued like this. The number of ninjas in Yunyin Village was not particularly large, and now some of the ninja troops were used to attack the Land of Fire.

Yamanaka Haiichi estimated that they may have begun to have insufficient manpower to cope with ordinary commissioned tasks.

This will not only reduce the income of Yunyin Village, but will also have a negative impact on the future.

Once the reputation of being unable to complete tasks spreads, many nearby small countries' tasks will be transferred to other hidden villages, and it is not impossible to even lose domestic commissions.

Unless Yunyin Village has absolute confidence in winning this Yunmu battle, it will only be more gain than loss.

But judging from the current battle situation between the two sides, Kumogakure's ninja troops do not have the upper hand at all on the front line. Continuing this war seems to only lead to greater losses.
