Although there are no wars in the ninja world anymore, some small-scale conflicts still occur from time to time, most of which are caused by foreign ninjas entering other countries for a special purpose.

Not long ago, Kakashi Hachiki met several outtown ninjas on his way to the border.

As soon as those ninjas saw Kakashi, they immediately turned and fled. However, their escape speed was nowhere near as fast as Kakashi's pursuit.

The end result was that the ninjas who were chased by Kakashi skipped the torture and were forced to move on to the next one, which was to go to the Pure Land.

This shows from the side that although the ninja war has ended, when one ninja rashly enters the territory of another country, there will still be conflicts between the two sides.

What's more serious is that in this case, it is likely that there will not even be a "torture" link, and it will go directly to the death link.

This is the main reason why Tsunade proposes that the shadows and Asuka cooperate on the mission.

At this time.

On the border of the Land of Thunder.

The Cloud Hidden Ninja, who had just returned from Yuyin Village, relied on his understanding of the terrain to block the path of the Konoha Ninja after all.

"Whew~"

A cloud ninja took a deep breath, and after suppressing the speed of his heartbeat to gradually stabilize it, he whispered to the others, "Those disguised guys should be Konoha ninjas, right?" ”

Following his gaze, the rest of Yun Ren also looked over.

On the main road not far ahead, several gray figures suddenly appeared. The clothes on their bodies were shabby, apparently civilian clothing.

Moreover, after camouflage, the cheeks of those people also turned sallow, and the overall image was very close to the usual civilians.

If it weren't for the cloud ninjas who had been ambushed in advance, they saw those people jumping from the trees

"It's not quite the right number!"

After counting the number of people on the other side, Yun Shinobi, who was the leader, frowned and said, "According to the information sent back by the spy, there should be four ninjas sent by Konoha to protect.

Counting the people they want to protect, there should be at least five. ”

"Five?"

These Yun Ninja's eyes widened, and they kept counting the number of people on the other side in their hearts.

“1，2，3”

“1，2，3”

After counting a few times, these cloud ninjas who were in ambush were silent.

Three and five are still counted, which is a bit different from what the captain said.

"Captain, these aren't the people we're looking for, are they?"

"No!"

The leader stared at the appearance of Konoha and shook his head, "They didn't use transformation techniques to cover their figures, they just used simple disguises.

And I happened to meet them on the battlefield, and these people must be the ninjas of Konoha. ”

Meanwhile.

On the main road.

After eating and drinking enough, the three shadows of Konoha carried out a series of simple disguises in line with the principle of caution, and prepared to enter the territory of the Land of Thunder.

Although the Land of Thunder is very large, the probability of them encountering Yun Ren is very low, but in case of bad luck, they really meet Yun Ren head-on

In order to prevent Yun Ninja from detecting the chakra flowing in their bodies, the dark department led by them decided to use a simple makeup method to disguise themselves as civilians.

"Boss!"

A dark man raised his head, seemingly enjoying the scenery, but in fact, his muscles were already tense and ready to deal with emergencies, "This mission is really easy, I haven't encountered a single assassination so far." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the boss turn his head and glare at him fiercely, and his tone was not good.

"Of course it's easy, I've never done such an easy escort mission in my life.

How?

In your imagination, is it that while walking, a few big men will jump out of the grass next to you?

Those big men attacked us with lightning speed, and while sneaking up, they said, "I'm sorry, I understand that there is no hatred between us, but this is my task, I can't get you to send the "air" back to its country. 】”

Speaking of this, I saw this man covering his chest with his right hand and pointing at the air in front of him with a helpless expression.

"Idiot, we're escorting air!!

We're escorting air!!

You make a stop on the street, and who knows you're on an escort mission? ”

Hearing the boss's faintly crazy voice, the Konoha ninja, who was still talking just now, couldn't help but scratch his head and followed the boss's fingers to look at the air.

Oh, yes!

To outsiders, they are just three ninjas from other villages, and they have nothing to do with the task of escorting [important people].

"Here they are."

Looking at the three Konoha ninjas who were approaching him, Yun Shinobi, who was hiding in the dark, was frantically communicating with gestures at this time.

"Shall we do it?"

"Hands-on?

If you see someone around them, you do it. ”

"No one!"

"What kind of behavior is this?"

"Divide the army into two ways?"

"Fart, it's fooling us."

Looking at the three guys who were swaggering towards here, Yun Ren, who was hiding in the shadows, gestured to his companions, and then took out a kunai from his waist and secretly began to accumulate strength.

Shout~

Kunai made a piercing sound across the air.

The three shadows disguised as civilians subconsciously took a few steps back, and then looked up in the direction where Kunai was coming.

Yun Ren and those people had no idea of sneak attack at all, and they directly appeared from the shadows after they were in the void.

"Ninjas of Konoha, what are you doing in the Land of Thunder?"

Captain Yun Ren forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the three people opposite him with a gloomy face.

He could be sure that these three were the Konoha ninjas who were guarding the nobles of the Honey Country, but they didn't have that nobleman in their ranks, and their numbers didn't match the information sent by the spies.

This means that someone took the [nobles] and did not take this path, or that person waited for an opportunity to sneak into the land of thunder while the Konoha ninja clashed with them, and then went to the land of honey.

Compared to the first possibility, the captain of this cloud ninja team is more inclined to the second possibility.

There are only two ways to get to the land of honey: by water and by land.

And this is where the land route must be.

The Konoha ninja must have guessed that there must be an ambush ahead, so they planned to split into two groups, one of which was used to attract firepower, and the other was to take advantage of the chaos to enter the Land of Thunder.

"The sinister Konoha ninja actually uses his companion as a target to attract firepower."

Thinking of this, the corners of the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader's mouth turned up slightly.

Fortunately, he had also divided the team into two ways just now, and waited quietly in the dark all the way, waiting for the nobles of the Honey Country.

"We"

Konoha and these people were ready to be discovered for a long time.

It's normal to be a little dangerous on an escort mission.

Hell it would be nice to be able to complete the task all the way.

Then, I saw one of the Konoha ninjas shrug his shoulders and said in a casual tone, "We actually wanted to come to the Land of Thunder to shop, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, and in order not to have a conflict with you, we also deliberately dressed up, but I didn't expect to be recognized by you." ”

"Fart!"

Hearing this, the leader of the Yun Ren squad instantly widened his eyes and shouted angrily, "Are you so sure you're not here to carry out a mission?" What is there to buy in the land of thunder, where birds don't. ”

"It's really shopping!"

After finishing the words that had been prepared a long time ago, the three of them looked at the black men opposite them with a sincere face, "You said that if we didn't come to shop, then what are we doing here?" ”

"You Are Not Protectors"

Without saying the word [send], the leader of the Yun Ninja squad forcibly held back the words and changed the subject, "Who knows if you are here to perform some confidential mission." ”

"Not really!"

The three shook their heads again.

"And how do you prove it?"

Hearing this, the three of Konoha glanced at each other and spoke.

"Since the Land of Thunder doesn't welcome us, then let's just go."

After speaking, the three of them turned around expressionlessly, secretly vigilant behind Yun Ren at the same time, and walked towards the road they came from without looking back.

They had already made plans on the day they were separated from Asuka, and if they were really discovered, they would leave directly without any conflict with Yun Shinobi.

Anyway, going to the Land of Thunder is such a road, and Uchiha Asuka will definitely come.

When the time comes, the four of them will go to the land of honey together.

"Captain!"

One of them, Yun Ren, took two steps forward and frowned, "Are they really gone?" ”

"Hiss~"

Looking at the backs of the three of them, the team leader took a light breath, and his eyes became a little dazed.

Did he think wrong?

I can't.

No. He's not wrong.

Syllable!

The next moment.

Seeing this Yun Ninja's right fist hammered on his left palm, he suddenly said, "It's worthy of the treacherous Konoha, they actually plan to use this method to make us relax our vigilance." ”

"What's the solution?"

The companions around him looked at the captain with a curious expression.

They're also a little inexplicable now, and they don't know what these people in Konoha are up to.

"Whew~"

The team leader took a deep breath and said, "The three of Konoha are obviously ninjas who protect the [nobles], but after we found out, they used the excuse that they didn't believe in ghosts like [shopping].

These people know that we will definitely not believe it, and they will definitely suspect their purpose, but this is what these people in Konoha want, they want us to take the initiative to catch up and fight with them, and force them to find out their purpose.

Then another person took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the land of thunder with the nobles. ”

After listening to the captain's explanation, the faces of the people around him also showed a look of sudden realization.

Konoha wants Yun Shinobi to take on the reputation of "doing it first".

The village has signed a peace treaty with Konoha.

The treaty stipulates that conflicts are forbidden when the ninjas of Konoha and Cloud Hidden Village meet during their missions. If the Konoha ninja made the first move against the cloud ninja, the village would have a reason to demand compensation from Konoha for compensation.

In order to avoid leaving a mouthful, Konoha ninja will definitely not take the initiative to act.

"Treacherous Konoha!!"

"Captain!"

After figuring out the key, one of them looked at his captain and said with some concern, "If we do it first, will we put the village at a moral disadvantage?"

After all, we broke the treaty first. ”

"Who said we disobeyed it first?!"

The team leader sneered, then pointed to the kunai who was stuck in the ground and said, "That's the border of our Thunder Country, and the three of Konoha just stepped into the border with their right foot."

According to the provisions of the treaty, the opposing ninja is not allowed to set foot on the border of the country unless there are special circumstances, and if there are special circumstances, it needs to be reported. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the kunai on the ground, and they looked back at the boundary monument of the Land of Thunder, and a small eye flew up in a blink.

When. The border of the Land of Thunder has actually advanced?

"That's it!"

Without waiting for everyone to continue thinking, they saw the team leader wave his hand and said in a gloomy tone, "Beat them first, directly ask about the whereabouts of that nobleman, and by the way, let the brothers who are ambushed in the shadows be vigilant, and when they see that someone plans to sneak into the country by taking advantage of the chaos, they will immediately send a signal." ”

After saying that, a trace of electric arc instantly appeared on the soles of his feet, and he looked up at the Konoha ninja who hadn't gone far yet, and a smile appeared on his face.

These people really take Yun Ren as a fool, and they actually use such a superficial strategy.

Rumble!

The next moment.

A popping sound instantly came into the ears of the three Konoha people along the air.

They hurriedly turned their heads and looked at Yun Ren who was rushing towards here, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he lost his voice.

"Are you sick? Lao Tzu is gone. ”

"It's really time to stand again, don't you want us to take the initiative?"

The team leader snorted into his fist as he ran, "Okay, meet you." ”

？？？

In an instant, a series of question marks appeared above the heads of the three people.

They looked at the Yun Ren who was running wildly with the eyes of a fool, and their cheeks twitched wildly, "Yun Yin's fool, what do you have in your head?" Is that stinking snail fan in the Uchiha family? ”

Seeing the three people on the other side frantically provoking themselves with words, the team leader became more and more sure of the guess in his heart.

These three people just want to provoke themselves, and then clash with themselves, creating an opportunity for their companions to infiltrate the Land of Thunder.

Then, I saw that a trace of electric arc suddenly appeared in his fist, and smashed straight towards the three of them.

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

Thunderous sounds spread out along the air, and if you listened closely, you could even hear the sound of cursing and the smug laughter of some people.
