Naruto's caged bird

Chapter 207: Veteran

Konoha 36, ​​in Hizashi's memory, it seems that it was less than two years before the end of the Second Ninja War. The war has entered the most disgusting stage...

That day, the sand ninjas of the Kingdom of Wind, who had tasted the consequences of harassment, seemed to no longer stick to the formality of war. When the war situation in the country was suppressed by the three ninjas and three beasts, was it necessary to open up a second battlefield? The killing among ninjas finally extended to ordinary civilians under the will of caring people.

In order to keep the enemy out of the country, Konoha deployed a large number of ninjas in the Kawa Country, which borders the Sand Ninja. You and I stand in the way, and the killing is going on in this mountain range that is full of rocks, forests, flowing water, and caves that crosses the two countries. In the end, all that remains is to see who can't persist in this state of mutual loss first.

West of the Fire Nation...

The land full of gravel between cliffs is tilted by the moonlight. The dark and dark mountain forest is not peaceful. In the restless areas, the branches and leaves are cut forward at the angle of the refraction of the sword light. Like floating flowers, like willow catkins, and on the wrist that shakes from time to time, a hatchet with a polished handle is dancing like a fan...

It danced and slashed in front of the ninja who suddenly appeared in front, in the light of the sword reflecting the moon.

"呲"

The hatchet struck diagonally on the clavicle of the Sand Ninja's left chest, cutting it off and tearing it apart. The wound then continued to extend, cutting towards the heart between the chests.

"Poof" the knife was pulled out

In the dark night, blood splashed like drawn willow sticks, drawing an arc that was more curved than a hatchet.

The two sand ninjas who were horrified and trying to cross the border were stunned when they saw the jounin they were leading being killed instantly with one move. In the horror, they were ready to turn around and escape without hesitation, but the moment they turned their backs, "Hu" was hidden, and two mist-white lion fists struck their chests fiercely.

Vomiting, blood ready to spurt out of the mouth like an open valve. But the person had already flown out with the spit and hit the ground.

After struggling quickly, the two escaping sand ninjas staggered and prepared to get up and escape in the other direction. What greeted them was a drawn hatchet...

"Picha", "Gugugugu,,"

The crow was frightened and flew up in the dense forest. After wandering in the distance for several times, I reluctantly landed...

Yehei put away the knife. After this simple battle ended, the middle-aged ninja immediately inserted the hatchet into the pot behind his back, making a "sizzling" sound as he rubbed the bottom of the pot.

"leave here."

The boy's voice came from the place where the punch was thrown, and the middle-aged man immediately followed the opponent's eager escape.

For some reason, the middle-aged ninja, who was stronger than the opponent in both strength and experience, kept following the boy without any complaints. Maybe it's because the eye on his right has lost the breath of his eyes, maybe it's because the night is always like day in front of the young man's eyes...

"簌, 簌" the two of them shuttled through the dense forest one after the other.

We are both genin, one relies on his vision as bright as daylight, and the other relies on his rich experience in the wild.

In the months since Hatake Sakumo's death, Hizashi has been following the ninja behind him on missions. The mission is simple, guard the several-kilometer-long battle line in this primeval jungle and prevent the enemy from entering the territory of the Land of Fire from here in the Kingdom of Sichuan. However, there are only two people in this several-kilometer-long mission range.

For the huge land and borders of the Land of Fire, the sparse number of ninjas is never enough, and as long as a team of ninjas enter the Land of Fire, the losses to the civilians will be ten times and a hundred times. Naturally, the two of them cannot completely protect this front...

Therefore, what needs to be done is to lay out various early warning and enemy-killing traps in this area like mines. And when they encountered a large group of Sand Ninjas, they followed them, and then passed on the information and waited for the Konoha Ninjas to gather and surround them. And if you encounter a small group of ninjas that you can eliminate with your own strength, you will naturally take the opportunity to sneak attack, harass, and assassinate them just like you did just now...

...

During the rush, after leaving the dangerous area where the two sides met, the middle-aged ninja carrying the pot immediately set some traps on the road that the enemy would pass through if they invaded. Then he came to a small river flowing to Konoha and immediately started the dull washing, making fire, and cooking...

To survive in the wild, keep everything simple. What needs to be cleaned is, of course, the hatchet that chopped something up.

Just waiting for him to be washed

"Go on." Hizashi shouted softly from upstream more than ten meters away.

"Crash!" A huge crucian carp was tossed into the sky and swam towards the opponent...

The middle-aged ninja who was squatting on the ground and washing quickly pulled out a kitchen knife from his back. The knife's light flashed... He swiped it a few times. As the fish flesh and fish bones separated and fell from the air, he quickly caught the black pot drawn from his back. Then, he gently placed it on the bonfire nearby and started cooking...

Boiled fish fillet Hizashi looked at the skillful movements. He was truly worthy of the ninja Konoha Ryū who can use S-level sword skills. He cut bones and shreds and cut a live fish into pieces in an instant. He then opened his mouth and said to the other party:

"Senior Gu Jie's sword skills have improved again."

Looking back, he looked at Hizashi and said, "Brother Hizashi is also very good at fishing. At least I haven't met anyone better than you at fishing."

After saying that, the ninja known as Gusuke looked at the young man's fishing rod and took a few more spoons of soup. The whole time he was curious about the fishing rod with only fishing line. As a ninja who has survived in the wild for many years, how did he pull up the fish without even a wire?

Suddenly, Gu Jie said casually:

"You shouldn't just be a ninja." He sounded a little regretful and a little emotional.

"Really? Senior is also a genin, isn't he?"

Hizashi, who was on the alert while fishing, asked back. At this time, judging from the position of ninja, the two were still on the same level. Even if the opponent's strength, experience, and age are far superior to mine at this time, they are even a round older than my deceased teacher Sakumo Hatake. But it's still on par...

Hizashi's rhetorical question seemed to recall the past of the ten thousand year genin Kosuke who was anxious to upgrade to chuunin and said silently:

"I'm different."

He picked up the spoon in his right hand and took a few more scoops after it sank to the bottom of the pot. The soup seems to be thicker...

Hizashi continued to sink the fishing line into the river. He looked at the other person who was a little lost in memory and said casually: "I am different too."

"You are still worried about what happened to Konoha White Fang."

He frowned. Although it had been several months since that incident, Gu Jie, who had been together for more than a month, could still feel the anger in the heart of the young man in front of him. This made him feel a little uncomfortable as a Konoha ninja, but it seemed appropriate.

At that moment without hesitation, Hizashi said without hesitation: "Yes, a hero should not be slandered because of a dilemma." He thought of his teacher, in order to save himself and others...

"However, he did bring harm and losses to the village in the end."

Kosuke said a little stubbornly, he seemed to be talking about himself, and he also seemed to be saying that Konoha White Fang needed to pay the price for the loss of the mission. At this time, I seem to be the same...

"Really?" Hizashi looked at the ten thousand years genin in front of him angrily. When he first learned that the other party was the ten thousand year genin Kosuke who was stronger than a jounin, Hizashi even wanted to hug him. But after continuous contact for a period of time, Renchi had to sigh. There is a reason why genin have always been genin. Even if their strength has reached or even surpassed that of most jounin, they still choose to be genin because of their will.

"I don't know that a ninja who protects his country and village is not a respectable ninja. But if he can't save the people around him, how can he save the country and the village?" It is still the answer that is like the original novel. This may be the reason why I once liked Hata The reason for Kisaku Shigeru’s character.

The ten thousand years genin looked at Hyuga Hizashi in front of him, he couldn't answer this question. Sighing, he murmured:

"You shouldn't just be a genin."

"Yeah"

He looked at the genin who suddenly felt depressed and said nothing. With the deaths of Senju Nousuki and Hatake Sakumo, the fifth class at this time has ceased to exist in name only. Uchiha Mikoto, the only remaining member of the team except Hizashi, was recalled to the clan because the Uchiha girl who had activated the Sharingan no longer had the protection of Hatake Sakumo, so she was recalled to the clan in order to prevent the Blood Successor's blood wheel eye from leaking.

Birds in a cage are separated, and there is no need to worry about leaking the boundaries of white-eyed blood inheritance. Genin Hyuga Hizashi, who was alone, was inexplicably arranged to form a temporary team with the ten thousand year genin in front of him.

He faced the moon and glanced at the Kingdom of Fire in the distance

He also lost his teammates due to the mission, so he placed such a person beside him

"What does the Third Hokage mean?"
