Chapter 24: Companions

The red and swollen fingers were almost glued to the cold kunai in his hand, and Ishida looked sideways at Hinata Nagayama, who had already opened his eyes at this time, while guarding his surroundings.

"How?"

The moment he spoke, Ishida realized that his voice was also a little disobedient.

After leaving the camp, their squad got lost in enemy-occupied territory due to the cold rain and cold winds that fell sharply. Today is the third day they have been lost.

"Heh~ I finally found it!" Hinata Nagayama's lips were purple, and he was purple. "It's over there, and our target is 1,000 meters over there. ”

"It's just wonderful. Misa Aida, who was enduring the cold on the sidelines, stood up and said.

"How strong is the vigilance. ”

"There are three lookout posts in total, and thirty ninjas are on guard. There are three ninjas patrolling the gate, and the weakest point is the northwest, where only two ninjas stand guard, and there are no patrols other than that. And it seems to be a blind spot of a watchtower. ”

Halfway through speaking, Hinata Nagayama spat out the cold rain that flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"The only downside is the distance from the material warehouse. ”

"Very good, Nagayama-kun, you have worked hard. Ishida walked over to his student and subordinate and patted him on the shoulder. He glanced at Keryuhu and Misa Aida, who were nestled aside and depressed by the cold rain.

"Rest well, we move tonight. ”

"Hmm!" replied in a low voice, the weaker one. He shoved the few remaining ration pills into his mouth and chewed them.

Because it was an enemy-occupied area, they had not lit a fire to keep warm for three days. For three days, he only relied on food pills to feed his stomach. Beryu shook his body, as if such an action could drive away the cold.

He tugged his hands into his cuffs, his body clumped, and closed his eyes. He had to use the little time he had to recuperate.

At his side, Misa Aida leaned towards him, and her body leaned against his. This made the somewhat introverted Beryuhu blush.

"Aren't you sleeping, Ishida-sensei?" Hinata asked Ishida-shinobu as he watched the enemy with his white eyes.

"You're the most important presence in our team, and it's not okay to put everything on you. Besides, I'm your teacher. Ishida smiled.

"Report the situation to me after observation, and you can go to rest. ”

"However, there was a vigil yesterday and the day before yesterday, is it okay?"

"Well, no problem. ”

At night, Beryuhu, who had been sleeping lightly, was woken up by Hinata Nagayama. After discussing tactics in detail, they lit a bonfire.

The clammy trees burned hard in the cold rain, smoke smoking, and their infiltration began.

"Huh, smoke?" Yushinobi, who had noticed the smoke in the distance, frowned, gathered his group of ninjas and began to rush towards the place where the smoke was rising.

All they saw was a campfire that was gradually extinguishing.

"Search around. The lead ninja gave such an order. This also means that the purpose of the Ishida team to divert the enemy has been achieved.

To the northwest of the logistics camp in Yunin Village, the bonfire swayed in the cold wind, exuding a faint warmth. One ninja sat around the campfire and warmed his hands, while the other stood with his eyes blankly looking in the northwest direction.

"Hey, I suddenly forgot how long we've been in this war. Do you remember. The standing ninja said suddenly.

"Five years, one month and six days. The warm ninja whispered.

"Five years, one month and six days. Stood and muttered the words.

"You said Yoshiko, is she married now? ”

"I don't know"

"Didn't you like Yoshiko very much before? ”

"I really don't know. After too much time, it gradually forgets. ”

"Oh, if Yoshiko hadn't gotten married after the war, I'd have chased her. With that, the blank ninja's eyes finally had some sparkle in their eyes.

However, a kunai pierced the ninja's neck the moment these words fell. The warm ninja was about to raise his alarm when he felt a handprint on his back.

"The first warning point has been cleared!" Ishida gestured, signaling Nagayama and Beryu to be on guard. The kind-hearted Misa Aida squatted down and stabbed the ninja who was clutching his neck and twitching.

"The second warning point ahead, a forty-five degree angle can be skipped. Hinata Nagayama gestured.

Just then, they met someone in the camp who wasn't supposed to be there.

The man was wearing a breathing mask unique to the Land of Rain, of medium stature, and holding a scythe with a black chain attached to the end.

That face was so impressive to the ninja of the Fire Nation that when he first appeared on the battlefield, the poisonous mist spewed out by the huge Sansho fish took the lives of countless Fire Nation ninjas.

"The demigod of the ninja world, Sansho fish Hanzo!"

"How could he be here, shouldn't he be on the battlefield of the main forces of the two kingdoms of wind and fire!"

"Mission canceled, retreat!" The moment Ishida made this gesture, Sanshoyu Hanzo also seemed to notice the abnormality and turned his head to look here.

"Looks like rats are mixed in here!" the scythe in his hand spun and threw in an instant. Ishida tried to dodge, but found that his frozen body could not dodge the deadly scythe no matter what.

With a bang, the iron rope tightened for a moment, and the sharp scythe was accurately pulled back into Hanzo's hand.

Warm, sticky blood slowly dripped from the tip of Senleng's scythe.

The art of the fire dragon!

The roaring fire dragon instantly evaporated the cold rain around it, and rushed towards Hanzo Sanshoyu with its teeth and claws. Hanzo's eyebrows furrowed, and he jumped to dodge the powerful fire dragon.

"Is it for the sake of the Shangnin Army? ”

On the other side, Hinata Nagayama pointed to Ishida's acupoint, stopped the gushing blood, and then guarded Ishida's side, and several people fled as fast as they could.

Therefore, when the fire dragon dispersed weakly, the rain ninjas only saw a few black dots that were rapidly disappearing.

Sanshoyu Hanzo sneered and walked to the place where Ishida had been hiding, where there was a pool of blood and an arm lying on top of a puddle of blood with a large piece of flesh.

"Chasing" picked up the arm, and Sanshoyu Hanzo coldly gave his own order.

As Ishida Kamishinobu said, he shouldn't be here, but should be on the main battlefield of the Three Kingdoms of Wind and Fire. It's just that due to the containment of the high-level combat power of Konoha such as the three generations of Hokage, Konoha White Fang, etc., his role in the main battlefield is no longer too great.

So, he pretended to be still in the main battlefield to give the Konoha ninja the illusion, and secretly came to the secondary battlefield on the side to try to destroy the Fire Nation forces here, and then led the rich troops to join the war on the main battlefield.

Therefore, the news of his arrival here must not be leaked. However, if it is really leaked, it will only be to launch a campaign in advance.

"Kinoshita Kamishinobu strengthens the transport of logistics and materials. We must make preparations for the Great Battle as soon as possible!" After saying this, Sanshoyu Hanzo jumped up to the treetops and chased after Ishida and his party.

"Catching up!" Ishida whispered, jumping beside Beryuhu.

"So fast!

"I stayed to stop them. Please protect Misa and Ishida-sensei. With that, Hinata stopped jumping and stood alone in the treetops.

"Yongshan-kun, what are you doing, hurry up. Misa, the only one of the three who didn't see Nagayama's intentions, turned her head and shouted. What answered her was only Yongshan's gradually smaller back.

"Nagayama, he decided to stop the pursuers for us. ”

"How can this be!" Misa's eyes widened, and tears kept pouring out of her eyes.

However... They all know that this is a necessary sacrifice. Hinata Nagayama, who stopped his footsteps, has decided to exchange his life for the life of his companion.

"Gossip sixty-four palms!"

There was a snap, a fleeting blue chakra glow that bloomed in the cold rain of the forest. This is Misa Aida's last memory of Hinata Nagayama.

When Hanzo cut off the head of this difficult ninja, he found that he still lost the traces of the remaining three ninjas. He didn't have time to chase anymore, he had to prepare for the news when it was revealed, and give the order to continue the pursuit to the other ninjas. Sanjiao Fish Half ** rushed to the war base camp of Yunin Village by himself, preparing to assemble troops.

Click·· Click···· His face was pale because of his injuries, and he finally fell from a high treetop, breaking several branches and falling to the wet and cold ground.

The wound on his arm cracked again, and blood began to pour out again.

When he came to Shinobu Ishida's side, Misa Aida's hands immediately lit up with a blue chakra light.

Ishida's pale lips couldn't make a sound. Bereuus called him, but he understood what he was about to say from the shape of his mouth.

"Leave me alone... Let's go!"

Enduring the pain in his heart, knowing Ishida-sensei's determination, he called Uryu to pull Aida Misa's arm.

"Let's go, Misa!

"Don't!I don't~!"

"Nagayama-kun, Ishida-sensei····· There are many, many familiar people. I couldn't bear it anymore for my companions to leave me one by one. ”

Misa Aida sobbed.

"I'm a medical ninja! A medical ninja can't afford to give up a wounded companion!"

After being silent for a while, Beiliuhu pulled out his kunai and guarded the surroundings.

"Belyu Hujun, you can go. We'll catch up after Ishida-sensei heals him. ”

Beryuhu froze for a moment.

While sobbing, Misa Aida recited a sentence intermittently.

"Ninja Code No. 1: Completing missions is always a ninja's first priority. ”

"Beryu-kun, you want to bring the news of Sanshoyu Hanzo's arrival here to Orochimaru-sama. While holding Ishida's arm, Misa leaned the unconscious Ishida against the trunk of the tree.

Silent, Beryuhu eventually turned and left.

Three days later, Beryuhu brought it to Orochimaru.

Five days later, the three ninjas, who had been prepared for a long time, ushered in the attack launched by the demigods of the ninja world, and the three ninjas, who successfully stopped Hanzo's attack, have since gained the name of the three ninjas and become famous in the ninja world.

In that battle, in addition to the three ninjas, the ninjas of the Fire Nation also met a white-haired ninja who seemed to be crazy and approached the battlefield of the three ninjas and Hanzo.

After learning the ninja's name, people began to call him the fearless Beryuhu.

A year later, the Second Shinobi War ended. Beryuhu personally engraved the names of Hinata Nagayama, Aida Misa, and Ishida Kamishinobu on the Konoha Memorial Monument.

·······························

"Beryuhu, you are not without talent. You, who have perfected the fitting ninjutsu alone and developed the art of Oni Raya, are even geniuses. You're just missing a companion who can help you. I also have some research on the art of ghost buds, how about becoming my companion?"

Smiling, Yagami Qi referred to the original book and threw an olive branch to Beryuhu.

"Companion... Hehe··· My companions have all left me in that great battle!" Beryuhu's originally broken will rose again at the words of Yagami.

"Looks like ... Said something wrong. Seeing Beryuhu's excited reaction, Yagami thought helplessly.
