Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Yu Xian hid in the cave, and apart from taking turns on guard duty and practicing Wind Release ninjutsu, he basically had nothing to do.

After resting for a few days, the good news was that Yu Xian had regained some mobility. Due to limited medical resources, he hadn't received professional help, and his injuries were certainly not fully healed, but running away was no longer an issue.

Unfortunately, he could only practice in simulation and couldn't actually try using Wind Release.

Due to his high level of proficiency in wind style, Yugen can instantly convert a large amount of chakra into wind style. With this as a premise, coupled with the fact that wind style hand seals are relatively simple and he is also adept at manipulating style chakra in his meridians, Yugen quickly became a wind style ninja.

Two days later, just as Uchiha Hazuki was about to lose patience, a paper fox finally broke into the cave.

"The captain is coming back, get ready to provide backup."

Akimichi Torifu and his companion have finally returned, and Uchiha Hazuki and Hagen are ready to meet them.

A moment later, the entrance to the cave was opened, and as damp, cold air and the earthy smell filled the cave, Omori Kairi helped Akimichi Torifu into the cave.

The two were in a very sorry state, and Akimichi Torifu seemed to be seriously injured.

Yugen came forward and helped Akimichi Tokifu sit down, while Uchiha Hazuki quickly covered the entrance again.

"Captain, your injuries..."

"I'm fine, I just need a rest... We were ambushed by Iwagakure ninjas by accident, and it took us several days to shake off our pursuers." Akimichi Torifu waved his hand, indicating that he was alright.

But he was covered in blood and looked much more seriously injured than Yu Xian had been.

"The mission is complete, but we can't leave immediately. We need to wait until the captain recovers a bit," said Omori Kairi.

In the entire mission chain, Yugen and Uchiha Hazuki only participated in a small part, while the rest was completed by Akimichi Torifu and Omori Kairi.

Everyone agreed that the team leader needed time to recover, but it was also important to understand that the longer the team stayed here, the greater the chance of being exposed.

After all, they had alerted Iwagakure once again during the mission.

At this moment, Akimichi Torifu took off his shirt, revealing the hideous wounds on his body, and Omori Kairi helped to bandage and treat these injuries in the simplest way.

"Thank you... I need two days."

As Akimichi Torifu spoke, he took out all sorts of pills from his ninja tool pouch and stuffed them into his mouth as if they were free.

Two days? Is two days enough?

Looking at the wounds on Akimichi Torifu's body, Yu Gen didn't think that the captain could recover in two days... or that the captain had forcibly used some secret medicine, preparing to speed up the recovery process regardless of the consequences.

After the bandaging was completed, Akimichi Torifu was covered in cold sweat, but he did not intend to rest at this time. He mustered his strength and prepared to explain to everyone the evacuation route he had planned.

"Regarding the next evacuation route, we will neither take the route of the Land of Rain nor the route of the Land of Grass... We will first head west into the Land of Birds, then turn from the Land of Birds towards the Land of Wind, cross the desert of the Land of Wind, and then return to the front-line camp from the Land of Rivers."

By going around in circles like this, we don't have to worry about the threats from Iwagakure and Amegakure, but what about Sunagakure?

Seemingly noticing everyone's confusion, Akimichi Torifu forced a smile and said, "The desert is too big, much bigger than the Land of Rain."

Even considering the average density of ninjas, the deserts of the Land of Wind are safer than the jungles of the Land of Rain.

Moreover, at this time, the battlefield of the Ninja World War was concentrated in the Land of Rain. The three great ninja villages maintained a tacit understanding amidst the fierce battle: to allow the flames of war to spread only to the smaller country.

So after a little thought, the three of them agreed to the evacuation route arranged by their captain.

Having finished explaining this matter, Akimichi Torifu could finally rest in peace. He leaned against the soil behind him, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Two days later, Akimichi Torifu's external injuries had indeed healed considerably, but his face was somewhat pale, and his condition looked unsettling...

Regardless, the Konoha squad regained its mobility. After eliminating all traces of their activities, they began to cautiously retreat westward.

Akimichi Torifu had something he didn't tell his teammates: the reason he chose to retreat from the direction of the Bird Country was actually to confirm something.

They traveled in silence, from the Land of Rain to the Land of Birds and the Land of Wind, from the incessant rain to the scorching desert. The constant exposure to heat left everyone feeling exhausted.

After entering the Land of Wind, the team moved through the vast desert, using sand dunes to conceal themselves.

Within the Land of Wind, Akimichi Torifu released his last communication bird, hoping to receive support from the Leaf Village ninjas.

The team traveled at a leisurely pace for three days, finally crossing the desert of the Land of Wind and entering the territory of the Land of Rivers.

Upon entering the Land of Rivers, the group discovered Konoha ninjas who had come to meet them... It seems that Akimichi Torifu's message had been successfully delivered.

This means the squad is basically safe.

On the other side of the support team, the leader was dressed in standard Jonin uniform, wearing a Konoha headband, with flowing white hair in a single ponytail, and a short sword hanging at his waist.

Yu Xian instantly perked up. Could there be a character with explosive combat power in the team that came to meet them? Could it be the legendary Konoha White…?

"Beiluhu".

Akimichi Torifu called out the other person's name.

"..."

Okay, although Sakumo Hatake and Hiruko are both Jonin of Konoha and can be considered ninjas of the same generation, they are completely different people... Winning five million in the lottery is not the same as winning five hundred dollars.

In Yugen's memory, Hiruko seemed to have been a member of the Sannin team. Later, he couldn't accept that his strength was inferior to his teammates, so he left the team... and later he became a rogue ninja.

"Lord Akimichi, please follow me. It's safe around here; there are no enemies in sight."

Hiruko spoke as if it were routine. After picking up the Konoha squad, he led everyone directly towards the front-line camp.

The evacuation went smoothly, and as expected, no further unexpected situations arose. After the team arrived at the front-line camp, the Beiruhu team completed their escort mission and then departed.

Akimichi Torifu then led everyone to the front-line command post, where Hagen met Konoha's highest-ranking front-line commanders... Mitokado Homura and Shimura Danzo.

For some reason, after seeing these two people, Yu Xian had a feeling that "Konoha has no great generals".

People like Mitokado Homura and Shimura Danzo leading the Konoha front lines? Okay, rumors say Mitokado Homura's fighting strength is no weaker than the Third Hokage, but what's the reality?

"Akimichi, you're back. What's the situation at Iwagakure?" Shimura Danzo glanced at Akimichi Torifu's injuries before beginning his somewhat indifferent inquiry.

Akimichi Torifu didn't seem to care. He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that all three reconnaissance outposts have been wiped out."

"I've retrieved two final intelligence reports..."

"Firstly, Iwagakure changed the route into the Land of Rain. Instead of entering the Land of Rain through the northwest of the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain, they changed it to entering the Land of Rain through the northeast of the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain."

"Secondly, Iwagakure combined their two Jinchūriki and dispatched them directly into the battlefield..."

There is no doubt that both pieces of intelligence are quite important.
