Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

Regardless of who this brat's father is, as long as he's not the Kazekage, his background isn't as big as mine.

However, the First Kazekage's son died in the First Shinobi World War, the Second Kazekage's son is currently the captain of the Third Squad in the Puppet Brigade, and the Third Kazekage is so old that he doesn't even have a wife.

The little brat mumbled a few words, realizing that this wasn't the Ninja Academy and things were different now, so he turned back to counting supplies with his companions.

However, even while working, this guy wasn't honest and was flirting with a female Genin next to him.

A ninja with this kind of personality, if his background isn't big enough and his strength isn't strong enough, will probably die quickly in the shinobi world.

"That… thank you."

Yekura said to Shimizu.

"Yeah, they're just some insignificant brats, after all, we're teammates."

Shimizu replied to Yekura.

Looking into Yekura's eyes, he suddenly remembered what happened last time.

Yekura's face also suddenly turned a little rosy, so she brushed her hair beside her temples.

"The weather seems a bit hot."

"Hot?"

Maki raised his head with a simple and honest look, looking at the sky.

At this time, the sky was gloomy, with only occasional rays of sunlight shining through the clouds.

After the supplies were counted, the group set off again.

Besides being responsible for connecting with Hyakuzu, Kazakami Chiran handed over all the other work to Shimizu and the others.

Kazakami Chiran was in the middle, not only to facilitate support in case of unexpected situations, but also to protect the most important third carriage up close.

The return journey was not as fast as when they came.

Not only did they have to protect the supplies along the way, but these Genin had only just learned to climb trees and step on water, so their pace was naturally not fast.

But fortunately, this was the rear of Sunagakure's main front line, and there were few enemies, so it was relatively safe.

At least, all the way from the stronghold to the borders of the Land of Rain, they did not encounter any sudden situations.

"This is already the territory of the Land of Rain. Although we are behind the camp's front line, it is still a combat zone. From now on, everyone must remain silent, maintain formation, and not allow any items that may be tracked by the enemy to be lost. You have learned all of this in various schools. Anyone who has an accident, if they are lucky, can return to the Ninja Academy for retraining, if they are unlucky…"

Maki lectured a group of Genin, a fierce smile appearing on his dark face.

This guy looks fierce and is suitable for this kind of work.

"Let's stop first, we don't seem to be very lucky."

Kazakami Chiran, who was sitting on top of the carriage, suddenly sighed.

His left hand formed a single hand seal, raised to the side in the air, maintaining the ninjutsu.

Shimizu recognized this ninjutsu. It was a type of perception ninjutsu that Kazakami Chiran had mentioned before, called Wind Sight Technique.

Perceiving indirectly through the influence of wind release on the wind.

Although it is easily interfered with and cannot be compared with the perception methods of real perception ninjas, it is enough for most ninjas.

Shimizu didn't learn Wind Release very quickly, and he had only barely entered the door of this ninjutsu, but Yekura had already mastered this ninjutsu.

Of course, they couldn't do it with a single hand seal.

"East, there are intense chakra fluctuations deep in that dense forest, suspected of someone using ninjutsu to fight."

As soon as the words fell, a pillar of fire that reached the sky rose above the dense forest.

Shimizu and Yekura exchanged glances.

A fire release of this scale cannot be done by ordinary ninjas.

At least Yekura, who is also proficient in Fire Release, cannot do it at the moment.

This shows that a Chunin-level or higher battle is likely taking place in the distance.

"That is the Great Flame Technique of the Konoha Sarutobi clan. Those who can master this ninjutsu are all elite ninjas of the Sarutobi clan. According to the scale of the ninjutsu, it may be a Jonin of the Sarutobi clan."

Kazakami Chiran estimated the situation in his heart, quickly made a judgment, and issued an order.

"Shimizu, from now on, you will lead the team to continue the mission. If I don't catch up within half an hour, immediately notify Elder Chiyo!"

"Yes!"

Without any mistakes, the first thing to read is the content!

In the blink of an eye, Kazakami Chiran's figure disappeared in front of everyone.

Yekura and Maki looked at Shimizu at the same time.

Kazakami Chiran's order was for Shimizu to continue leading the team.

"Everyone, Third Alert Formation, Yekura, you stay in the middle. Once an unexpected situation occurs, use long-range ninjutsu to support. We will speed up and return to the camp with all our strength. Jonin-level battles are too dangerous, we don't have the qualifications to intervene."

Shimizu glanced at everyone and issued an order.

In the forest in the distance, another pillar of fire that reached the sky rose.

The fire spread and the heat wave hit, even the heavy rain in the Land of Rain could not extinguish it.

The group hurriedly packed up and accelerated their departure.

More than ten minutes later.

Kazakami Chiran hurried back, covered in blood, carrying a middle-aged man with a beard in his left hand.

Two Sunagakure ninjas also came with him, Shimizu had also seen them in the camp.

One was named Tejima Tsuguo, a genuine Jonin, who was also injured, his face was a little pale, and he was carrying another injured companion on his back.

One was named Eizaburo, a Special Jonin, who seemed to be a Special Jonin who was good at sealing techniques, but he didn't seem to be doing well. There were many bleeding wounds on his body, and he looked seriously injured, and seemed to have fallen into a coma.

The middle-aged man with a beard from the Sarutobi clan who was captured as a prisoner was more seriously injured, and seemed to have fallen into a coma. His body was tightly bound, and his arms and palms were wrapped in strips of cloth engraved with sealing technique symbols.

This kind of cloth strip is quite precious. It is made of special cloth and engraved with sealing runes after processing.

In the Fourth Shinobi World War of the original timeline, those Reincarnated World Impurity ninjas were sealed with these cloth strips.

This Sarutobi clan Jonin's hands are now sealed. Before the seal is lifted or weakened to a certain extent, he cannot use ninjutsu, and Taijutsu is also restricted by the ropes on his body. He temporarily does not have the ability to counterattack.

"Continue to set off, return to the camp to find Elder Chiyo, the enemy is suspected of having important information on him."

After Kazakami Chiran finished speaking, he glanced at Shimizu.

Shimizu nodded slightly and took out the medical supplies that he usually kept with the puppets from the sealing scroll on his back.

He was the only one in the team who knew a little bit about medical ninjutsu and could do emergency treatment.
