Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

"hateful!"

Wu Lang pulled with both hands, and the last two puppets floated up at the same time. Their arms deformed, revealing black gun muzzles. The black robes on their backs were torn at the same time, revealing more than ten kinds of weapons, as if they were ready to fight to the death!

Sakumo raised his blade and said in a cold tone, "Are you sure you still want to fight?"

Wu Lang shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Sakumo said calmly: "The Sand Ninja who fought with me has been killed. If you are determined to fight to the death, you may be able to kill Dan behind me, but you will definitely die under my sword."

"Are you threatening me?" Wu Lang's face flushed, veins popping out, "Do you think I will believe your lies? My wife is far better than me, she will not die!"

"I am just stating the facts. If you stop here, both of us can be safe and sound, and we can wait for the next battle to decide life and death."

"Haha, for the sake of a half-dead and useless companion, are you willing to let go of the enemy in front of you?" Wu Lang sneered and shook his head.

Sakumo's voice remained calm, without any emotion. "This is a multiple-choice question."

"For me, this is not a choice!" Goro pointed at Kato Dan behind Sakumo with a gloomy face and grinned, "Do you think he won't die if I stop?"

"My puppets are all made by hand, and each hidden weapon is evenly coated with neurotoxin. Unfortunately, your companion was hit countless times in the battle just now. He is dead!"

As he said, Kato Dan fainted the moment Sakumo appeared, his lips were black, and it was obvious that he was severely poisoned.

However, Sakumo remained unmoved, "I told you, this is a multiple-choice question."

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the bushes on one side of the forest, and the grass and trees rustled, which aroused Wulang's vigilance.

In full view of everyone, Sakumo's shadow clone stepped out.

Goro was stunned for a moment, as if he was struck by lightning, because he found that Sakumo was carrying an unconscious woman on his shoulders.

She had long chestnut hair and a pretty face, but her breathing was weak at the moment and she had no strength to resist.

"You!" Goro was furious.

"Don't act rashly." Shuomao's eyes were serious. He took out a kunai from his sleeve and put it against the woman's throat.

"You only have three seconds to consider. Hand over the antidote and leave, or..." He said in a low voice, "Destroy both of you!"

The kunai moved forward slightly, piercing the woman's skin and oozing out a trace of blood.

"No!" Goro panicked and immediately pulled out an iron box from the chest of a puppet. After unlocking many mechanisms, he took out a needle of pink reagent and hurriedly threw it to Sakumo.

Sakumo did not hesitate and pushed the needle into Kato's severed carotid artery.

"Let him go!" Wu Lang said anxiously.

Shuomao had a cold expression and remained silent.

Goro knew that he was verifying whether the antidote was effective. If Kato Dan showed no signs of waking up, the other party would kill his wife without hesitation.

It was not until Kato Dan slowly woke up and her face regained its rosy complexion that Sakumo raised his hand and formed a seal, releasing the shadow clone and allowing the woman to fall to the ground helplessly.

Wu Lang didn't have time to vent his emotions. He rushed to the woman with the puppet, knelt on the ground to feel her breath, and only after confirming that there was nothing unusual did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"In every battle from now on, I will try my best to kill you!" He turned his head, gave Shumao a vicious look, then picked up his wife, turned around and disappeared into the jungle.

Sakumo watched the enemy leave in silence, his brows slightly frowned, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Only when the other party completely disappeared from his sight did he carry Kato on his back and retreat to the secret base.

"Break, hold on, you'll be safe once you reach the camp."

"Cough cough." A weak cough came from behind Kato Dan.

"Shuomao...you...shouldn't have saved me..." He lowered his head, looking ashamed.

"You are my companion. As the successor to the Will of Fire, I will never abandon my companions, and I will never betray the village." Sakumo's tone was calm.

"But... if you just gave up on me, you could have killed the two commanders of the Sand Ninja Army in one fell swoop..."

Shuo Mao smiled faintly, "I want to kill them, and I have many chances. Why should you sacrifice yourself?"

Kato Dan was silent for a long time, raised his head and looked at the sky covered with green shade, "Perhaps, as a ninja, dying in battle is the best destination..."

"Don't be silly. You don't even have a wife, are you willing to die like this?" Shuomao rarely started to tease him.

Kato Dan was slightly annoyed. "So, only a married person like you can die without regrets?"

"No, I won't give up." Shumao smiled unconsciously as if he had thought of something, "There are still so many wonderful things waiting for me in the world."

Kato Duan coughed twice, his eyes full of resentment, "Please, can you leave some room for us bachelors..."

"Besides, I not only have a wife, but also a two-year-old son. However..." Shuomao sighed, "I have been away for the past two years and have not been able to go back to see him..."

……

At the end of the 39th year of Konoha, on the western battlefield of the Land of Rain, with the addition of the Uchiha clan, the Konoha army achieved outstanding results in just one year.

Relying on their unique eye-jutsu bloodline limit, as well as their skilled fire escape and shuriken techniques, they displayed impressive combat capabilities, and the Iwagakure troops found it difficult and were defeated.

At this time, Konoha suddenly changed its tactical strategy and secretly transferred some of Konoha's elite troops led by Tsunade to the southern battlefield to assist Hanzo in fighting against the Sand Ninja.

On the surface, this move greatly alleviated the pressure on the Hidden Rain Village, and with Tsunade's excellent medical ability, the poison used by Chiyo was completely neutralized. Coupled with Hanzo's powerful command ability, the Sand Ninja troops suffered repeated defeats and retreated step by step.

But if we turn our attention to the western front, without the endurance of medical ninjas like Tsunade, the pressure on the remaining Iwagakure troops was suddenly reduced, and they were evenly matched with Konoha, fighting back and forth on the border of the Rain Land.

Not only did the Sand Village suffer a defeat on the southern battlefield, the situation on the Konoha battlefield was also quite unfavorable.

No one expected that Konoha would accidentally play a trump card named "Hatake Sakumo".

Two years ago, he was just a team leader with the strength of an elite jonin. After the trials of life and death on the battlefield, he has grown into an absolute strong man with the thinking and strength of a kage.

The short sword is as fast as lightning, and the sword skills are as graceful as a startled swallow. Every time he makes a move, there will be a strong man who suffers. Over time, the nickname "Konoha White Fang" began to spread on the battlefield.

Under the command of Sakumo, the surprise attack army led by Akasagoro and his wife suffered heavy losses, and even Goro himself had his right hand cut off. They urgently needed logistical support and supplies.

Now, the Third Kazekage's original "surprise attack on Konoha" plan seemed quite ridiculous. If there was no timely reinforcement, the entire surprise attack force would be defeated in the Land of Fire, and there was a tendency of "stealing a chicken and losing the rice".
