Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

"Rachel!"

Kakashi, who seemed to be holding a thunderbolt in his hand, rushed out from the side and went straight to the first ninja who released the compound ninjutsu and stabbed his companion in the back. The ANBU's expression changed, and the substitute technique suddenly exploded, and the whole person used the teleportation technique. Quickly dodged to one side.

The mask was pierced by Raikiri's sharp lightning, and while a bloody line exploded, the face of the ANBU was exposed. Sure enough, it was none other than the defected Konoha Jonin, Matou Kosuke.

And Hyuga Yuzuru also did not stop - at this moment, two of the four ANBU ninjas who were originally responsible for the response betrayed, and one was directly stabbed in the back in an instant, leaving only one ANBU who was shaken by betrayal and was temporarily unable to do so. cheer up.

"Tsuki Rabbit! What are you doing!" The ANBU shouted angrily, pulled out his kunai and ran straight towards the ANBU who stabbed his companion in the back, asking angrily: "Why do you want to help Mateng, Feiyu!?"

"Of course...killed by me."

The ANBU named Moon Rabbit had a cold voice, and the short sword in his hand flashed, making a clanking sound when it collided with the ANBU's kunai.

Several waves of Soft Fist chakra suddenly shot out from behind the ANBU. Moon Rabbit's face changed, and he subconsciously turned away, but gave another ANBU a chance. Kunai flew from the blind corner of his vision and penetrated him directly. shoulders.

Damn!

Yue Tu didn't have time to curse, but the next moment, a figure appeared in front of him strangely.

Within Hinata Yuzuru's mask, only two cold white eyes could be seen, and a hand was pressed on his chest.

"Pfft!" Yue Tu felt a sharp pain coming from his heart. He lowered his head, his pupils were trembling, and he still couldn't believe it: "So... so fast..."

He didn't even see Hinata Yuzuru's figure clearly. The punch covered with Rou Fist chakra hit his heart, instantly stopping his heart, and then more Rou Fist chakra spurted out. To, shatter his heart.

Hinata Yuzuru kicked his body away, and the other Anbu's eyes were still looking at Hinata Yuzuru with an arc of disbelief: "You..."

"We don't have time to capture him alive." Hinata Yuzuru's eyes were cold, as if he had seen through the ANBU's thoughts. After finishing his words, without much explanation, he went straight to Matou Kosuke who was fighting fiercely with Kakashi.

The ANBU's eyes were trembling violently on the spot, and his eyes were red. He looked at the dead Moon Rabbit, gritted his teeth, picked up the kunai and followed Hinata Yuzuru.

For Hinata Yuzuru, the ANBU named Tsukisagi is just a traitor who must be eradicated, but for this ANBU, he is his partner who has shared life and death many times!

At this moment, Kosuke Matou is also being suppressed by Kakashi. Even though he is already a rare elite jounin, Kakashi is skilled in swordsmanship and deadly with his swords, and does not give him any chance to release his ninjutsu. The wheel eyes were rotating rapidly, and the extremely high reaction speed made it impossible for him to escape or find an opportunity.

When he saw Tsukisagi being killed by a single blow from Hyuga Yuzuru, Matou Kosuke realized something was wrong.

Originally, their plan was to use the two chuunin and a shadow clone in the house to attract attention. When reinforcements arrived, they would use the lives of the two chunin as bait to let the detonating talisman complete a wave of killing.

After that, Kosuke Matou and Tsukito, disguised as ANBU, stabbed each other in the back together. Being caught off guard, even Kakashi was seriously injured or even killed.

But what they didn't expect was that Hyuga Yuzuru suddenly came out and not only blocked the ANBU, but also happened to knock over his own people with Kaiten, making them unable to take the opportunity to attack.

So, they tacitly changed their plan and tried to lead this group of Konoha Anbu into the Kumogakure circle responsible for ambush, but they never thought that Hyuga Yuzuru noticed something strange.

His white eyes can observe the movements of his own people without blind spots, even if they are behind him.

"Impossible..." Matou Kosuke seemed to realize something. He suddenly roared and wanted to tell the secret he had discovered. The next moment, Hinata Yuzuru's figure appeared beside him.

The tachi given to him by Uchiha Shisui drew an arc in the air.

Hatake Kakashi also raised his sword and slashed away.

The two swords blocked all of Matou Kosuke's escape routes. His eyes widened with anger, but he could only drink in hatred.

No matter how much ninjutsu you know, if you don't know how to cast a magic spell or form a seal with one hand, you can't get rid of the entanglement in close combat and you can't use it.

The body divided into three parts flew away left and right.

[Successfully killed the defecting Jonin from Konoha and gained free experience points: 1782]

[Assist in killing the defecting Jonin from Konoha and gain free experience points: 792]

[A wonderful counter-ambush battle, you saw through the enemy's flaws! Gain additional free experience points: 1021. 】

Hinata Yuzuru breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps he was the only one present, until Kosuke Matou discovered something.

As a veteran ninja, it is impossible for Kosuke Matou to be unaware of the limitations of the Byakugan. There will be a blind spot of vision directly behind the spine.

Just now, he gestured to Yue Rabbit in this blind spot of vision, hinting at the distance and direction.

But how could he have thought that for Hinata Yuzuru, a caged bird that has been eaten away into an empty shell by the Asuka seal? Even though there will still be a certain degree of interference, which will make the vision slightly blurry, it is not like other The branch ninjas have blind spots like that.

Just by tilting her head slightly, I could see his gesture clearly.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong, and he and Kakashi used hand gestures to indicate that the situation had changed, resulting in the two of them failing to lead them into the encirclement.

Kakashi naturally knew nothing about this. He just thought it was Mateng's desperate cry before his death. Without any hesitation, he took out a kunai and threw it towards the head of the dead Moon Rabbit. The kunai stabbed him. Entering the skull, the body remained motionless.

It has become Kakashi's instinct to confirm the kill, and then he quickly made a few gestures with his fingers.

He was asking Hinata Yuzuru if there was anything wrong with the remaining ANBU.

Hinata Yuzuru shook his head, and at the same time, he opened his white eyes, stared into the distance, and gestured quickly with his fingers where only Kakashi could see it.

The other Anbu turned his head helplessly and in a low mood, and averted his gaze openly, showing that he had no intention of peeking - his teammates had either betrayed him or been killed. Now he knew that he was also on guard, so he could only show it with actions. Be trustworthy.

Three kilometers, ten people...three jonin levels, five chunin, and two genin.

At the current pace, it will take another five minutes to get here.

He made a judgment based on the amount of chakra.

Kakashi shook his head decisively: "Check the damaged bodies and retreat!"

Even Kakashi believed that this was not an unbeatable opponent, especially when they noticed it in advance and had the opportunity to ambush.

However, Hinata Yuzuru's safety is more important than killing these Kumogakure.

Anyway, the defecting ninja has been killed, and if there was any exchange of information, it would have been leaked long ago. There is no need to fight with Kumogakure again. If there are reinforcements from this group of Kumogakure, it will be in big trouble.

Hyuga Yuzuru acted immediately. He knew very well why he needed to check and destroy the corpse. He immediately went to check the corpse of the moon rabbit. After roughly confirming that there was no intelligence or other gains, he used the powerful fire ball technique on the corpse.

We have to be careful that these ninjas still carry information about Konoha, so the corpses must be destroyed to prevent some information from being hidden in certain locations that have not been found.

The body of the companion was taken away by his own people after inspection.

It can only be like this if no one carries a seal scroll. Generally speaking, on the battlefield, there will be people who carry large seal scrolls to recover the bodies of teammates or opponents.

Generally speaking, ninjas would not leave the corpses of their own people alone.

"Let's go check the bodies of the two chuunin first."

Hinata Yuzuru suddenly reminded him. Kakashi turned his head and figured out the reason why he said this. He immediately nodded decisively and said: "I understand."

When the two chuunin were killed by the detonating talisman, because Tsukito suddenly said that he knew the whereabouts of Matou Kosuke, they chased them together without checking their bodies.

But now that Yue Rabbit's defection has been confirmed, we must be careful whether there are other reasons.

Be careful.

After returning to the village, Hyuga Yuzuru checked it with his white eyes, but found nothing. Then, the ANBU team quickly evacuated - there was no need to evacuate back to Konoha Village, there were Konoha strongholds nearby that could be used to pass information and apply for reinforcements. .

At this moment, there is no peace negotiation with Kumogakure, how could Konoha be defenseless around the border of Fire Country.

A few minutes later, a group of ninjas dressed as Kumogakure saw the bodies of two rebellious ninjas in the forest. Their faces looked a little sad, but they did not pursue them.

"Forget it, the information has been obtained, let's go back."

One of the leading Jonin made a quick decision and gave up the pursuit.

Only two Konoha rebels died. Since the ambush failed and the information was obtained, there was no need to put themselves in danger anymore.

Kakashi and Hinata Yuzuru, who avoided a battle, did not feel lucky at all.

After the information was passed back to Konoha, the two people who had been waiting at the border received the new order in almost half a day.

The entire border stronghold and defense map will be re-defended, and the two of them need to cooperate with the new ANBU team to hunt down and kill the remaining rebel ninjas at the border.

In addition, they also need to help Konoha detect and resist Kumogakure who may infiltrate.

Yes......

Shortly after the tragic Third World War ended, the fourth generation died, Orochimaru defected, and the Nine-Tails Rebellion resulted in heavy civilian injuries. The third generation took office again at this moment.

There are definitely more than one or two ninjas who choose to defect to Konoha.

Kumogakure is active in the Land of Fire, the Country of Yu, the Country of Frost, and the Country of Waves.

The Iwagakure Village is also very active in the Kingdom of Grass and the Country of Iron. On the one hand, it is wary of the movements of the Kumogakure Village. On the other hand, it is also connected with some rebels. However, it is relatively restrained with Konoha and instead cooperates with Kumogakure. There will be more friction on one side.

In this way, Hyuga Yuzuru and Kakashi were extremely active on the border of the Land of Fire, tracking the rebel ninjas and guarding against the invasion of foreign enemies. Although they had achieved partial victory in the three battles, they showed an extremely passive attitude on the new local battlefield. defensive.

This pattern basically lasted until the end of 52.

In November 52, Hyuga Yuzuru and Kakashi received the Hokage's handwriting and were recalled to Konoha.

After a year of adjustments and regaining power, Sandai finally decided that after judging that the conflict between Kumogakure and Iwagakure could not be suppressed in the short term, he changed his passive defense and turned from defense to offense, increasing the pressure on Kumogakure's side. Trying to force Kumogakure to sign a peace treaty by increasing pressure on Kumogakure's battlefield.

It was against this background that Hyuga Yuzuru met the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, in the office after a long absence, who seemed to have a few more wrinkles.
