From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 252: Position Crisis
"Thunder Release·Purple Lightning!"

The shrill sound of electric current pierced the sky, like the chirping of tens of millions of birds combined into one, drawing a deep purple arc through the lush woods, instantly penetrating a distance of dozens of meters and going straight through the chest of the Sand Ninja in the front.

Without waiting for the Sand Village team on the opposite side to react, Kakashi was seen hanging upside down on a tree trunk beside him. He exerted force with his feet and immediately shot out.

"careful!"

The captain of the Sand Village in the back first gave a warning, and then the chakra threads in his hands danced rapidly. Two puppets made of gold and iron immediately flew out crosswise, and countless shurikens and poison needles burst out from the surface of the puppets' bodies, suddenly covering a large area.

Kakashi did not pause at all, and charged straight ahead against the rain of arrows.

Before the poison needles and darts could reach him, he heard another shout and roar from the bushes beside him:
"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"

The violently gushing fire dragon penetrated horizontally, and with its surging inertia and huge force, it broke through all obstacles in Kakashi's way in one fell swoop.

On the scorching land, Kakashi's figure seemed to be wrapped in a thin layer of white mist, pointing in the direction of the Sand Village opposite like a sword.

The captain of the Sand Village was immediately shocked. He had just taken out a kunai from his waist when Kakashi's purple lightning had already reached in front of him.

"laugh--!"

The lightning shot through the heart, making a slight burning sound as if roasting a human body.

The Sunagakure captain tried hard to raise his arm and pierce the kunai in his hand into the body of the damn Konoha ninja, but as the blood flowed, he lost all his strength.

Finally, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.

"puff."

Kakashi pulled his arm free with great effort and turned to look behind him.

A group of more than ten people in the Sand Village were completely killed by their small team.

At this point, even he was at the end of his strength. He was so exhausted that he couldn't even gather a trace of chakra. He was completely relying on the exoskeleton on his body to keep his body standing.

However, he still did not relax, and turned to ask Lin beside him: "How far is the support point?"

"Just go through the pass ahead."

Nohara Lin looked at him with concern: "Kakashi, let's take a break before going over."

"Huhu."

"No, we'll rest when we get to the front camp."

Hatake Kakashi took two long breaths, and only spoke in a low voice after he had recovered.

This was not because Kakashi was trying to be brave on purpose. He also knew that in their current state, even if they were sent to the front line of the battlefield, they would probably not be able to play any role.

However, the fighting on the battlefield these days has given this young jonin captain some experience.

The purpose of the Sand Village to surround their front-line camp was obviously to surround and attack the reinforcements. They used this support point as bait and broke up the Konoha teams coming to support them.

Therefore, after breaking into the camp, it is much safer than the nearby River Country woods which can provide shelter.

However, just as he finished speaking, he stumbled.

"whispering sound."

"You can hardly stand, what are you pretending for?"

Uchiha Obito, who was also wearing an exoskeleton, came out from the bushes with a gray face. Although he was rude, he took one of Kakashi's hands, put him on his shoulder, and dragged him forward.

After the Chunin Exam, because of their team's outstanding performance, in addition to Kakashi being promoted to a fourth-class jonin, the two of them were also upgraded to Chunin, becoming the first batch of Chunin employees among their graduating class.

According to the original plan, I should first enter the Ninja High School to study for a period of time.

However, after the war broke out, they all gave up their studies which had not yet begun and chose to go to the front line.

The only thing they didn't expect was probably one thing.

This war became intense from the very beginning.

The Sunagakure ninjas were incredibly fanatical in their performance during the war.

This also caused their new battlefield team to enter an ultra-high pressure state from the moment they entered the battlefield.

Whether it is Kakashi, Obito or Rin, they are all growing at a rapid pace.

"Humph."

Kakashi, half of his body supported by Obito, snorted in annoyance but said nothing, letting him drag forward.

In a few miles, we will be out of the woods.

However, just as they were about to continue moving towards their destination.

"Drip drip!"

Suddenly, a rapid and shrill low humming sound was heard on the drone monitor hanging next to Obito's ear.

Kakashi and Obito were both startled and turned to look over in confusion.

However, Obito's expression froze as soon as he opened the display interface of the high-altitude surveillance drone.

"Ahead! It's the camp ahead!"

"There are so many hostile chakra reactions!"

"how come?!"

Kakashi's expression froze and he spoke in surprise.

"Could it be that the front line has been breached?" Nohara Lin also couldn't believe it.

Konoha's war preparations over the years were not in vain. Just this front-line position with 300 people stationed here would require at least 2,000 Sand Village soldiers to break through it in a short period of time.

What's more, these three hundred people are not alone, there are a large number of support troops behind them.

“Go first!”

Thinking of this, Kakashi Hatake made a decision immediately.

He let go of the hand hanging on Obito, took out a test tube from his waist with a painful look on his face, picked it up, and poured it into his mouth in big gulps.

「Chakra Supplement A3 Type」

It can stimulate cells and allow the user to recover one-third of their physical strength in a short period of time. It has significant side effects and each person only has one.

Originally, Kakashi was going to use it to save his life, but now the situation is urgent and he can't care about that.

Obito and Rin didn't hesitate. When they heard what Kakashi said, they immediately nodded in agreement.

When the medicine started to take effect, the group immediately ran towards the front position at the fastest speed.

But wait until we get out of this woods.

The three little ones standing on the edge of the cliff couldn't help but pause and stared at the scene in front of them in a daze.

I saw that in front of the camp built on the mountain, there were already large potholes. The surface of the fortresses built in front of the front line was also covered with large scars, and there was still smoke of gunpowder.

The sparse manpower maintained the barrier while flowing towards the battle position in front like a stream of water, and resisted with difficulty relying on the detonating traps that had not yet been cleared and long-range ninjutsu.

The standard formation should have had 300 men, but now there are probably less than 100 left.

However, the enemy that appeared before them was...
Hatake Kakashi stood on the edge of the cliff.

Thanks to the field of view of high-altitude surveillance drones, the scenes they can see are countless times clearer than those of their comrades on the front line.

In front of the entire line, the black mass of Sand Village ninjas surged like a tide, and at a glance there were at least a thousand of them.

Following behind them was a large and countless group of people, all of whom were now forming into small teams and charging towards this position.

Just by looking at this scene, the three little ones felt a chill all over their bodies and their hair stood on end.

"Is Sunagakure crazy?"

"Don't they want their other positions anymore?"

The first to speak was Uchiha Obito, who was the most impatient. At this moment, he was seen staring at the people in front of him with wide eyes and an incredible look on his face.

"No, that's not right."

Kakashi's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of gritting his teeth.

He saw clearly.

Among the Sunagakure troops in the front, there are many old or young faces, and many people have poor physical fitness and are out of touch with the troops in the front. It is obvious that they have not undergone regular training for some time.

Based on these details alone, he came to a conclusion.

"The Sunagakure is mobilizing the entire village again."

"I'm afraid that even the former ninjas who were previously laid off have been forcibly incorporated into this team."

Upon hearing this, Obito didn't react, but Nohara Rin looked stunned.

As a ninja, she certainly knew very well what the consequences would be if a ninja who had not been able to undergo special training for a while and had to be busy making a living was re-recruited into the team.

No wonder the pressure on Konoha's front lines has been so great in recent times.

The Sand Village is really willing to do this at all costs.

"why?"

"This kind of total mobilization usually only starts at the end of a war, right?"

"."

Hatake Kakashi was silent for a while, then said:

"Probably, it's because of Mr. Wu."

"what?"

This time even Daito couldn't help but exclaim.

Kakashi became even more silent.

He suddenly felt something different.

After witnessing Mr. Wu's god-like power with his own eyes, he couldn't help but start to think from his perspective.

If he was from another ninja village, would they be able to see hope of defeating Konoha?
I'm afraid not.

So, in this situation, if you want to avoid being swallowed, you can only gamble on one possibility.

"As long as we are brave enough, even you, Sawara Kiri, won't be able to kill all of us."

Kazekage advisor Chiyo stood at the rear of the army, muttering silently as she watched the troops surging forward like a tide, and the Konoha ninjas ahead who were facing a formidable enemy.

It seems like a resolute determination, but also like some kind of self-consolation.

"So what if you are strong alone?"

"Are all the people in Konoha not afraid of death?"

Under normal circumstances, Chiyo would not dare to say this.

But things are different now.

As Konoha became more and more prosperous over the years, the living conditions of Konoha ninjas began to become better, but the lives of ninjas from other ninja villages became worse and worse.

The previous and current Kazekage-sama were also able to use magnetic escape to discover mineral veins in the desert, which not only provided subsidies for the village, but also provided some preferential treatment for their own families.

But for other Sand Village ninjas, if their chance to make a living as mercenaries is cut off, they will really be left with nowhere to go.

There are only a few oases like pearl strings in the vast sea of ​​sand. In the seemingly vast Kingdom of Wind, there are not many places that can provide them with a leisurely life.

Whether it is doing business or stealing, these are two crowded tracks. Can you squeeze in just by squeezing?
The Sand Village ninjas would have been unable to survive long ago.

In this case, what is there to be afraid of in risking one's life now?

As long as I can make a living.

However, even though Chiyo often said this in her heart.

However, Sawara Kirina's ruthless and cruel tactics on the battlefield, as well as her ability to make the surrounding ninjas from other countries lose their way without bloodshed, still made her heart palpitate.

The more worried she was, the more she subconsciously clenched her fists.

In her palms, she held three fragments of the Four Souls Jade that were faintly glowing.

No matter what she was thinking now, from the moment they made the decision to attack Sawara Kiri and destroy the Konoha industrial zone, they had no choice.

Just as Chiyo was looking into the distance.

The Sand Village ninjas in front have begun to make contact with Konoha's front position.

"kill!"

Splashes of saliva flew out along with the roars of countless people.

The fearless figures with red eyes rushed into the minefield in front of Konoha like arrows.

The continuous roar of explosions shook everyone's eardrums. After the blood mist shattered in the explosion, it was followed by the footsteps of another person.

The Konoha ninjas in the fortress controlled the scroll launchers in their hands, firing out large-scale ninjutsu one after another.

Fire and thunder were everywhere, and from time to time, the vibration sound of kunai nailed to the outer wall of the fortress could be heard. Occasionally, one or two unlucky guys would be hit by shurikens shot from a distance through the window, and after they were nailed into the cheek, they soon became silent.

But next to him, another person continued to move forward.

Outside the fortress, one team after another maintained the outer barrier, and sent a part of them to fight with the Sand Village jonin who were approaching through the blind spot of the window.

This form of positional warfare that Konoha explored during the war dealt a heavy blow to the Sand Village ninjas at the front who were still in the pre-ninja village era.

However, with the continuous loss of numbers and lives, the distance between the two sides is still getting closer.

"Ding! Puff!"

After a series of metal collisions and sounds of metal piercing flesh, a physical training-type Sand Ninja, waving a short sword in his hand, rushed into the Konoha position that had blocked them for several days with a burning gaze.

Following this small gap, he was followed by a series of comrades who broke through the minefield and the gap in the barrier.

The ninjas of the barrier class saw that the gap was getting wider and wider, and many of them had the determination to die.

However, just when they were about to fight these bastards, they saw that the Sand Villagers in front of them suddenly stopped as if they had seen something.

They all stared blankly at the sky.

The Konoha Barrier Squad ninjas were stunned and subconsciously turned their heads to look towards the sky.

next moment.

The deep shadow blocked out the bright sunlight, covering the sky and the clouds, and was pressing straight towards this place.

What covered the entire cloud layer was not wind and sand, but a series of disc-shaped fortress-like flying objects.

What it is?
Whether it was the ninjas from Konoha or Sunagakure, the same thought popped up in their minds at this moment.

follow closely.

The flames that erupted suddenly covered the entire Sand Hidden Village position, and the rumbling sound of explosions followed by a whistling force made the ground beneath the feet begin to tremble. The shattered human bodies burst into a surging blood mist, dyeing the boundary between the yellow sand and the woods a dark blood color.

"Enemy attack——!"

The alarm sounded in the distance was obviously a beat late, and the center of the Sand Village brigade, which kept following the flow of people, had already been blasted into a white area.

Then, small white flowers began to bloom in the sky.

come down.
