"How far is it from Fallen Leaf City?" This is the first time Yuto Fukada has asked the same question.

"It's not far, it's about two hours away." Adjutant Tetsuya Kojima replied very patiently.

"It's only two hours...... Actually...... it's close," Yuto Fukada's brows tightened deeply, and he said heavily, "But I always have a foreboding feeling in my heart, and Sagakure came prepared this time...... It's not going to be so easy for us to retreat......"

"But the enemy behind us didn't speed up their pursuit of us?" Tetsuya Kojima wondered.

"If I were the commander of the enemy, I would not just send the forces of 3 legions to drive the enemy away, knowing the movements of my enemy...... There will be a trap or an attempt to surround the enemy and annihilate it. ”

"But so far, the enemy hasn't moved?"

"So that's what I'm worried about, so far the enemy hasn't moved anything, just hanging behind us like this, so I can't guess the other party's thoughts......"

“…… Does that need to be done to extend the alert again? Tetsuya Kojima suggested.

"There is already a 10-kilometer cordon circle...... If we expand, we won't have enough manpower. "A large force of 1,400 men sounds like a lot, but at the moment they need to guard against an enemy that may suddenly appear from all directions. Coupled with the fact that the Perception Ninja itself is a rare existence, they really can't make up more reconnaissance teams at the moment......

"And blindly putting forces into vigilance is an act of extremely distracting one's own strength. If we encounter a battle of fortification, we cannot form an absolute joint force in the first time, and we will fall in the first wave of attacks. ”

Ninjas who can join the reconnaissance team must be experienced ninjas or even special ninjas, and this kind of people are the backbone of the ninja war. Sending too many of these ninjas to the periphery of a large army is not a good idea in itself.

The war between ninjas places a lot of emphasis on sneak attacks and blitzks, and every now and then a battle breaks out. What if an enemy's knife is plunged into your chest and you don't have enough defense?

"Commander Fukada, a sand hidden force has appeared on our right flank, the number is about 5 brigades, 10 kilometers away, and it is currently rapidly approaching the center." Suddenly, a Konoha reconnaissance team reported.

"Finally getting started?" Before Yuto Fukada could make a decision, new information came.

"On the left flank, there were also about 5 large groups of Sand Hidden troops, 9.7 kilometers away, quickly approaching the center."

"Directly ahead, on the other side of the river, about 3 regiments of Sand Hidden troops were found."

"What?!" Yuto Fukada was shocked, it turned out that not only the flanks were flanked, but also that thousands of enemies had already circled in front of them.

And 9.6 kilometers ahead, from the map, it is exactly where a river is located. Originally, if Konoha wanted a large army to cross the fast-flowing river, he would have to cross the bridge.

But on the other side of the river, thousands of enemies are now stationed, and they are waiting to be caught in the net.

"Stop!" Yuto Fukada immediately signaled the entire army to stop advancing.

This large, well-trained Konoha force stopped advancing in an instant.

"Turn around and strike east!" Yuto Fukada chose the ninjas of the 5 Sand Hidden Brigade near the Inland Direction of the Fire Interior as a breakthrough, and he planned to return to Fallen Leaf City after making a detour from the Inland Territory of the Fire Realm.

However, as they approached the Sand Hidden Army, they found that the trees around them were thinning out......

It stands to reason that this would not be the case in a terrain like the Land of Fire, which is dominated by mountains and forests......

"Boom ——!" Suddenly, the ground trembled in front of them.

"This is?!" Tetsuya Kojima was shocked.

“…… The sand is changing the terrain. They know that we have excellent sentient ninjas and it is impossible to fall into their trap...... So it came to light, forcing us to change the direction of travel. Yuto Fukada said heavily.

"Boom ——!" There was also an earth-shattering tremor in the ground behind them, it was another team of 5 teams of Sand Hidden Ninjas, who blocked the Konoha Ninja's retreat.

Now there are only 3 Sand Hidden Legions that are still pursuing in the direction of the Southwest Canyon, and 3 Sand Hidden Legions in the direction of Fallen Leaf City......

"Full speed ahead, around the sand ahead!" Yuto Fukada ordered. His thoughts are very simple, now Konoha must not start a war here, embattled, without backup, how to fight?!

They must try to get around the sandy blockade of the sand, and as long as they escape from this blockade, it will be the sea and the sky!

It's time to compete in speed!

However, several breakthroughs soon after, all failed, and the fact that the Sand Hidden Ninjas, who only had 5 large teams, were surprisingly fast, at least faster than their army.

I'm afraid it's an elite force composed of at least the middle ninja......

Their regular force of 1,400 people has a lot of lower forbearance, and it is impossible for him to abandon them and choose to survive with a broken arm.

"The distance directly ahead is less than 1 kilometer, and you are about to contact the ninjas of the 3 Sand Hidden Legions." The report from Adjutant Tetsuya Kojima completely broke off the idea of continuing to avoid the war.

If you continue to run blindly and don't form a battle formation to prepare for battle, then I am afraid that you will face flanking attacks from four directions in the chaos.

"Rest in place, form a defensive line, and prepare for battle!" Yuto Fukada gave the battle order, and then he asked the adjutant again, "The message for help has been sent, right?" ”

"Yes, I think at the speed of Akutsu, I can get to Kikyo City today."

"Then let's hold out until the reinforcements from Kikyo City arrive!"

In the dense forest ahead, the sand ninjas appeared in their field of vision one after another, filling the forest. Everyone understands that this is going to be an uphill battle.

Suddenly, nearly a thousand black bitter branches rose to the sky.

"Watch for dodge!"

Soon, these deadly sharp weapons, after crossing a perfect parabola, rained down on Konoha's position.

This is an ultra-long kunai throw over a distance of more than 200 meters......

……

…………

………………

By a small stream on the mainland of the Fire Realm, a wisp of bright red stained the originally clear water.

"Konoha's forehead protector, it's really nostalgic." An old man with long white hair said slowly.

"Ahem...... Who are you and why do you have a writing wheel...... Ahem...... Will you still escape? The Konoha ninja's body stiffened the moment he realized that there was someone in front of him, and he couldn't move at all.

This is the illusion of the writing wheel!

So he could only watch as a few branches of wood easily pierced his body.

Life is ticking......

Who is it......

"Ah Fei, this waste, can't even handle a few Shangninja...... You still have to trouble my rotten body to run by yourself......" The old man's eyes were vicissitudes and sharp, and then he asked softly, "Konoha ninja, what's your name?" ”

“…… Akutsu. "This Konoha ninja is about to lose consciousness.

"Akutsu, see Tsuruma and say hello to him for me."

……

I work a little more, and I work overtime all the time, which leads to the compression of the time of the codeword.

So it's late, forgive me.

In addition, another author told me that the refusal was due to the word Hokage, and the editor made it clear that this was his experience.

So...... Thinking of a new title together? When the cooldown of my big move CD is over, I can change the name of the book around March 10th, and then apply for a contract.

It was as if there was a glimmer of light.
