During the war, all actions were carried out vigorously and resolutely.

Class [-] only received the mission in the morning and was already on its way out in the afternoon.

Among the three of them, except for Riyi, who is a newcomer to the battlefield for the first time, Nonou and Yayoi are veterans with rich battlefield experience.

After receiving the surveillance mission and being assigned to Class [-], Danzo did not disclose Yayoi's detailed information to Nonoyu, but only said that the child was 'not simple'.

As for what the 'not simple' method is...

Taking advantage of this opportunity to travel, Nonoyu wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.

……

The country of Fire is relatively peaceful.

In the early days of the Second Ninja War, the four kingdoms of wind, fire, earth, and rain were at war, and the battlefields were mainly within the Land of Rain.

In the middle of the war, the Kingdom of Earth was first defeated by the Kingdom of Thunder, and had to withdraw from the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, turning around to deal with the Kumogakure troops that broke into their own country.

Then, Amegakure had exhausted his war potential and had to withdraw from the confrontation.

The remaining Sunagakure was taken care of by Konoha and was driven directly back to their own country from the Land of Rain.

By the later stages of the war, the strengths and weaknesses of each country were clear.

This war has also shifted from a full-scale war to a local and regional confrontation.

There are only two battlefields left: the Kingdom of Earth, which was invaded by Kumogakure, and the Kingdom of Wind, which was invaded by Konoha.

As for the mainland of the Fire Country, except for the borders, it was almost unaffected by this war.

……

After driving for a day and a night, the three of them had gradually approached the border.

After observing along the way, Nonoyu made a preliminary judgment about his two teammates.

First of all, in Nonoyu's eyes, this white-eyed girl named 'Hyuuga Riyi' is undoubtedly a good child.

She is gentle, kind, empathetic, and understanding.Suitable for staying in schools, hospitals, and offices, but not suitable for staying on the battlefield.

As for the child named 'Uzumaki Yayoi', he is indeed a monster that even Danzo named and praised as 'not simple'.

He is obviously the youngest among the three, but he seems to be more adaptable to the battlefield environment than himself, a senior root ninja.

After observing him for so long, Nonoyu couldn't figure out his true identity at all. Instead, he felt like he was seeing through him.

……

The closer you get to the border, the more obvious the traces of war become.

One of the most obvious features is the emergence of refugee flows.

Most of these refugees are refugees from the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Sichuan.

In order to escape the war, they had to drag their families and leave their homes.

Along the way, while Nonoyu took advantage of the opportunity to observe the two teammates while on the road, Yayoi was also quietly observing each other.

He noticed that Nonoyu's mood swings would get bigger every time he saw the displaced refugees.

She seemed to care about these people, especially the war orphans who had lost their parents.

Yayoi thoughtfully:

'Are there normal people at the root? '

……

Due to the social unrest caused by the war, bandits were everywhere. In order to survive, many refugees were forced to become thieves.

Regarding these bandits on the border, the opinion within the Fire Nation is that they will not conduct targeted defenses, but will send border troops to clean up the areas on a regular basis.

Of course, for these refugees, there is another thing more terrifying than these bandits.

Those are the exiled ninjas who lost their minds in this war.

The border garrison supported by Class [-] this time was attacked by a gang of exiled ninjas during a recent cleanup of bandits.

Due to the garrison's underestimation of the enemy's advance, the medical ninjas who were supposed to be protected in the rear were attacked and killed by the enemy. The garrison itself also suffered heavy losses and could only send out a request for help from the village.

The village also dispatched two combat squads to change defenses and a supporting medical squad.

The two combat classes that changed defenses were all senior chuunin and had already set off a day ago.

The supporting medical class is Class No. 11, where Yayoi and others belong.

……

After driving for another half day, a fiery red building appeared in the sight of the three of them.

It was the red roof of a tower-like building, which was the destination of the three people's trip - the Konoha border post.

"We have arrived?"

Finally seeing the familiar architectural style, Li Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Among the three, she was the only one who had no battlefield experience and had never experienced such a long-distance march.

Along the way, both the long journey through the wilderness and the miserable refugees she saw along the way gave her great psychological pressure.

Just when she wanted to rush to the outpost as soon as possible and take a good rest, Yayoi suddenly pulled her hand and stopped her progress.

Li Yi turned her head in confusion.

But she saw Yayoi gently shaking her head at her, her expression even more serious than she had ever seen before:

"Don't go there yet! Something's wrong with the situation ahead!"

Although Li Yi was a rookie, he was fortunate enough to be self-aware and obedient enough to stop immediately.

According to Yayoi's inner eye, there are only two chakra reactions within a range of more than ten kilometers centered on the border post!

You know, even if the original garrison is not included, there are already six combat ninjas in the two combat squads that arrived before the three of them!

Where have all these ninjas gone?

Why are there only two ninjas left?

Are these two ninjas enemies or friends?

With these questions, Yayoi immediately stopped the team's progress.

"There is indeed something wrong!"

Pharmacist Nonoyu also found doubts.

She twisted a small steel wire painted black in her hand and introduced to her two teammates:

"This is a sensor trap specially used at night. It is one of the security methods often used by Konoha's border troops."

After the introduction, Nonoyu raised the doubts he discovered:

"Generally speaking, this kind of trap will be dismantled by ninjas who switch defenses at dawn."

Hearing what Nonoyu said, Liyi also reacted:

"However, it is already noon, and this trap is still here. This shows that..."

"This means that either the ninja who switched defenses is lazy, or... there are no ninjas switching defenses anymore."

Yayoi's face was calm, and it was no surprise that he made a death judgment for the ninjas of the border force:

"Now it seems that there is a high probability that the latter is the case. We were just attacked by a group of wandering ninjas, and even a fool would not be so negligent."

Nonoyu and Liyi had to accept this statement, and their expressions suddenly darkened.

After finally arriving at the destination, but facing a powerful enemy who had silently wiped out more than ten chunin from the border troops, no one felt at ease.

Now, it depends on how the captain Nonoyu makes the decision.

Should we retreat directly, conduct intelligence reconnaissance, or even... fight.
