Simultaneous travel: Not eating beef

Might Guy, Ebisu, Genma Shiranui.

These three guys were still wearing their own clothes; they were a team.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu, Hayate, and Ibiki were wearing Chunin vests.

That's right, Bai Yu is their teammate, and he has already passed the Chunin Exams.

This was a proper examination, not a temporary promotion during wartime.

Genma Shiranui, with a senbon needle dangling from his mouth, said nonchalantly, "I hope we'll be assigned together; at least people we know will be more genuinely willing to help each other."

Ebisu adjusted his glasses and said, "Don't say such things. We're all villagers; it's not good for us to hear."

Genma's senbon twitched, clearly not having listened.

He had already been to other battlefields and clearly had no fondness for war.

During wartime, even teammates from the same village can develop rifts.

There will always be heroes, and there will always be cowards.

They gathered together and chatted for a while, and soon someone notified them that it was time to gather.

Hyuga Hizashi is the overall commander heading to the front lines, but there are many squad leaders under him.

The squad leaders started taking attendance. Some of them were lucky, or perhaps it was arranged by someone else, but in any case, they could stay together before arriving at the battlefield.

Protecting the supplies in the latter half was a pretty good job.

Konoha dispatched people in three batches.

In the first batch, Orochimaru, as the commander-in-chief, led a large number of high-level combat forces to stop Kirigakure from advancing further.

The second batch was led by Fugaku Uchiha, who brought along the core members and a small amount of supplies.

The third batch, led by Hyuga Hizashi...

Cannon fodder.

To put it simply, those in this third team are all there to be cannon fodder, and they also have the task of transporting large amounts of supplies.

The team consisted of over a thousand people, but only about 20 were Jonin, 50 were Special Jonin, and the rest were mostly Chunin and Genin.

In the first phase of the operation, Orochimaru led a strike team to hinder the enemy's further advance.

In the second phase, after Fugaku and his men arrived, they set up a defensive line.

In the third stage, the cannon fodder of both sides clashed fiercely.

Espionage, assassination, traps, luring the enemy, decapitation, poisoning, sneak attacks, sabotaging supply lines, squad-to-squad combat...

Ninja wars were mostly small-scale skirmishes, where no means were spared.

It is foreseeable that this group carrying a large amount of supplies will be attacked en route.

The only difference is how many enemies will be sent in. If the number is small, it's fine. But if the number is too large and the team is wiped out, then Konoha can surrender and pay reparations.

Come back here.

After half an hour of roll call to confirm the number of people and assign tasks, the team was finally assembled.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Hyuga Hizashi stood at the front of the group and said, "Everyone..."

Bai Yu chimed in from below, "All troops, attack!"

The voice was quite loud, and the squad leader heard it and immediately turned around to glare at him.

"Private Marseille." Bai Yu gave an apologetic smile.

After all, don’t hit the smiling person with your hand.

Upon seeing this, his close friends finally smiled after a long time.

Indeed, even on the battlefield, it's easier to relax with happy people.

God knows how much pressure they are under at such a young age.

The procession, stretching for hundreds of meters, set off.

When they first left Konoha, everyone had some free time to chat from time to time.

After traveling more than a hundred miles to the battlefield, the troops gradually came to a standstill.

Hundreds of miles later, only the place where Bai Yu and his group were still chatting could be heard.

How can we not chat? This journey is so boring!

They all have such miserable faces; if you don't die, who will?

Finally, after seven days of marching, the team entered the combat zone.

The Land of Whirlpools, a country that was once destroyed.

A nation established by an ethnic group.

Although the Uzumaki clan was wiped out, ordinary people still live here, but there is no concept of a country anymore. The highest authority in a village is the village chief, and the highest authority in a city is the city lord.

Kirigakure attacked the Land of Fire from the direction of the Land of Whirlpools.

At the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Whirlpools, the Hidden Mist faction's camp was stationed, while Orochimaru and his group's camp was less than a hundred miles away.

Both sides know that the other's camp is within this area, but neither side has yet been able to find out the enemy's exact location.

Starting from the two camps, the area within a radius of several hundred miles was a battle zone.

After entering the combat zone, the atmosphere became tense. Bai Yu stopped chatting with people and instead constantly used his Byakugan to observe his surroundings.

The group continued forward, encountering numerous checkpoints along the way.

Wandering through the forest, you can occasionally see signs of battle on some large trees.

The real battlefield has arrived.

They ventured another twenty miles into the battlefield when white smoke suddenly filled the latter half of the column.

"alert!"

With a loud shout, everyone instantly became like startled birds, frantically pulling out their equipment.

"Stay together!" Bai Yu whispered a reminder, his eyes fixed on the forest.

Less than a kilometer away, seven figures were rapidly approaching.

"Wow~, Konoha support forces, so many of them! We can start a wonderful slaughter, hehehehehe~!"

A voice came from the thick fog.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

Several voices rang out from within the group, and then a strong wind blew away the mist.

At this moment, the seven figures had already approached the latter half of the group.

In the trees, under the trees, in different positions, the seven people were scanning Bai Yu and the others with the eyes of predators.

The squad leader's face was grim as he gritted his teeth and shouted out the origins of the seven men: "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"

"Boom~!"

A fireball rose from the front of the line.

Bai Yu glanced at the scene and immediately sensed something was wrong. The area ahead had also been attacked, and it seemed unlikely that rescue efforts would be possible in the short term.

Pipa Juzo brandished his Executioner's Blade and sneered, "Oh my, you're all out of luck now. Hehehehe, my blade has a chip in it, I'll use your blood to fix it."

The burly fat man laughed and said, "Juzo, that won't do. I also need a lot of chakra."

As he said this, Samehada took off the gauze wrapped around his hand and emerged.

In an instant, the other five also began to criticize Juzo Biwa, each of them treating the Konoha people in front of them as prey to be slaughtered at will.

However, even though Konoha had a numerical advantage, no one dared to underestimate these few freaks.

The Hidden Mist's elite force, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Pipa Juzo - The Great Sword for Executing Heads.

Suigetsu Mountain Fugu Demon - Samehada.

Chestnut-scented skewer and sewing needle.

Wild Bait Man with Tongcao - Blunt Knife.

No pears, eight, explosive knife, flying spray.

Black Hoe Rai-ga and Rai-katana.

Hozuki Senjin: Twin Blades - Hiramekarei.

Bai Yu shielded his teammates behind him and frowned, saying, "This is troublesome."

Although these seven people are only elite Jonin, that doesn't mean that's all the strength they have.

When they team up, even a Kage-level character can go toe-to-toe with them. (Note: "Goalkeeper-type" refers to a strong player, not an overpowered one.)

It's an elite force of seven; otherwise, it wouldn't be named "elite unit."

A team of nearly two hundred people is now intimidated by seven people.
