Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

"And after firing the signal flare, we'll leave as quickly as possible and find a secluded place to hide."

"Then, we'll fight a guerrilla war."

"It moves continuously throughout the entire Whirlpool Country, never lingering at any one point for too long."

"Hide when you encounter a large force, and kill small squads of Mist Shadows."

"Only in this way can we delay the process for a longer period of time."

"I trust the village's intelligence capabilities; they'll soon realize something's wrong here."

"We can only hold out until the village realizes what's happening and sends a large force to the scene. Only then will our crisis be over."

"This is the best solution I can think of!"

Kazama Nara reacted the fastest.

Even after hearing only half of it, they knew that Uchiha Jin's method was the best option for them at this stage.

Shin Kudo isn't stupid.

He immediately accepted it and quickly said, "I agree!"

“Very good, it seems we’ve reached an agreement.” Uchiha Jin nodded, then added, “Just like Kazama said, when we actually engage in battle, I won’t have time to explain.”

"So through this incident, I hope the captain can understand this point."

"Since you've chosen to believe in me, I hope the captain will believe in me to the end."

"Otherwise, if we question each other during the battle, even for a moment, all three of us will die!"

Shin Kudo nodded solemnly.

At that moment, he listened completely.

He immediately offered various assurances and apologized for the earlier questioning.

Nara Kazama breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Fortunately.

Although this was just a cannon fodder squad, there was no real bond between them.

Fortunately, Uchiha Jin was a competent commander.

In just a few moments, trust was forged.

From this perspective, the chances of survival are much higher.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the Uchiha clan again, and mentally muttered another complaint.

Is this really an Uchiha?

No, it's more like Nara!

……

that's it.

After being reorganized and relaunched, Team 7, guided by their captain Uchiha Jin, detonated their signal flare.

Whoosh!

The signal flare soared into the sky, bursting into a dazzling light.

The three of them, who had discussed it beforehand, then silently and quickly stealthily moved to the left.

As for Ishikawa Itsuki?

Who is this?

Feel sorry!

Their squad was so organized that they completely forgot about him 'accidentally'.

About ten minutes later.

More than fifty Kirigakure ninja, led by Kusanagi, one of the Seven Ninja of the Mist and the user of the blunt sword Kabuto, surrounded the grove.

"Lord Jonin."

"After confirmation by the sensory ninja, the signal flare was launched from here."

"We have found the 27th Squad of Kirigakure here. It has now been confirmed that they are all dead. Two of them were killed by kunai, and the other one has been found to have been tortured."

"It can now be basically confirmed that Konoha has discovered our Kirigakure's plan."

"Upon investigation, there is a Konoha outpost located 500 meters to the left."

The man who used the wild grass as bait had a fierce look in his eyes.

After listening to his subordinate's explanation, he did not hesitate at all and immediately issued the order.

"Let's head to that Konoha outpost and see if there are any clues!"

The people hidden in the mist responded with a resounding roar.

Followed by.

The group moved very quickly and soon arrived at the 27th outpost.

With a casual wave of his hand, Kusanagi no Yato sent a Kirigakure squad rushing in, and then dragged out Ishikawa Itsuki, who was sleeping soundly, and threw him on the ground.

who am I?

where am I?

What am I going to do?

Completely bewildered, Ishikawa Itsuki opened his eyes with considerable displeasure.

then.

Looking at the fifty-odd Hidden Mist ninjas in front of him, he almost wet his pants in fear.

"You, I..."

Ishikawa Itsuki trembled, his voice trembling, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Yes.

Despite his arrogant demeanor in front of Uchiha Jin and the others, he knew in his heart that even if they were unhappy with him, they wouldn't dare to actually kill him.

But things are different now!

These Hidden Mist ninja in front of him were the kind of people who would actually dare to kill him.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Tongkusa Norito glanced at Ishikawa Itsuki and felt a wave of disgust.

As a ninja, he despised trash like Ishikawa Itsuki.

No nonsense.

He walked up to Ishikawa Itsuki and slapped him hard across the face.

He was hit so hard that blood gushed from his mouth, and two of his teeth were knocked out.

"If you know what's good for you, confess honestly!"

"Who are your teammates, and where are they now?"

"Tell me everything you know!"

Ishikawa Itsuki: "..."

He's really stupid.

Looking at the ferocious Kusa-no-Ya-Ren, and the Mist-Hidden Ones all around with their menacing eyes.

All the lofty ambitions he had in Konoha vanished at this moment, and he immediately and honestly confessed everything he knew.

In other words, Mist Shadow has no interest.

Otherwise, he would probably have confessed without hesitation if he had wet his pants at age three or spied on a widow bathing at age five.

After hearing this, Tongcao Ye'erren casually waved his hand.

One of the ninjas stepped forward and pulled out a kunai.

Ishikawa Itsuki was terrified.

I couldn't help but speak immediately.

"I've confessed everything, why do you still want to kill me?"

Spare my life!

"...".

Kirigakure, who was in the middle of making a move, couldn't help but look at Kusanagi Haruto upon hearing this.
