Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 118: Blade on a Snowy Night

snowy night
The wind was biting cold and the snow was falling heavily.

Sakura and her group are currently hiding in a cave. They have no fire, and they cannot let their guard down even in this snowy night.

The sound of wind whistling could be heard in her ears as the girl huddled slightly closer to the cave entrance. Even Sakura seldom encountered such bad weather during her missions.

The cave was pitch black, but fortunately, the four of them all had a certain level of perception, and even the darkness could not block their vision.

At this moment, even the tooth that is usually the most jumpy can't help but take the time to rest quietly and replenish his energy.

Time passed minute by minute, and the black-haired boy slowly stood up, walked to Sakura and patted her shoulder gently.

The boy signaled to the other party that he could go and rest.

The girl, who was curled up and always on guard, said nothing more and just got up and left to rest.

However, at this moment, a slight clicking sound suddenly occurred.

Even with the cover of wind and snow, it sounded like a thunder in Sakura's ears.

This was not the sound of wind and snow, but the sound of stepping on the snow. They had become extremely familiar with this sound during this period of time.

Not only Sakura, but even Sasuke became serious.

The two of them quickly hid in the cave.

When we entered Shandong, we found that Ya and Zhino had already opened their eyes, looking ready for battle.

Sakura made a gesture to keep quiet, and then the four of them found shelter and hid.

The sound of footsteps on the snow outside the cave was getting closer and closer. When the sound became clearer, three or four people in coats walked in.

"What kind of damn weather is this? It's really a pain to be out on patrol at this time."

One of them complained unhappily.

"Oh, don't mention it. There just happens to be a bit of a mess here. Sir, boil some water and warm yourself up."

With the click of a lighter, the dark cave was suddenly filled with light, and the flames licked the branches, dispelling the coldness around.

Sakura cautiously peeked at the people outside.

three people.

Each of them was wearing white and gray ninja outfits, with a cloud-hidden forehead protector on their foreheads, and a cloak to protect against the wind and snow...

Judging from what they said, it was the Kumogakure patrol team.

They are patrolling in this kind of weather, they are really dedicated...

Sakura couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Looking back at the three people who had their eyes fixed on her, Sakura shook her head slightly and then made a quick gesture.

If you can't help it, don't do it.

They were just a few patrol officers, so naturally they could not be their opponents.

But once this patrol team loses contact, someone will definitely come to look for them.
What's more, it's war time now, so the patrol team's loss of contact means something that goes without saying.

Sakura could only hope that the three would rest and leave, and not explore the cave any further.

Otherwise, they would have to take action.

However, Sakura's idea was obviously impossible to achieve. One of them walked into the cave not long after sitting down.

Looking at the approaching Cloud Ninja, Sasuke slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to strike at any time.

Once the man discovered them, he would take the initiative to deal with one first.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and Sasuke's eyes became colder and colder.

"Hey, what's so good about this? Why don't you come over and warm up in this horrible weather?"

The man's companion suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"Oh, it looks dark inside, so I want to see if there are any edible mushrooms or something."

The man scratched his head and was about to return to his companions to warm himself by the fire.

However, a faint sound was heard in the cave.

!!!

Everyone couldn't help but look over, and it was Akamaru hanging on Inuzuka Kiba!

"dog?"

"There's a dog here?" The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, obviously preparing to kill and eat the dog that suddenly appeared.

"dog?"

"Is it Erha?"

The other party's companion also became interested at this moment.

It’s not that there are no dogs on the snowfields. On the contrary, dogs are an important means of transportation for people who live on the snowfields all year round.

The most famous are the Husky, Samoyed and Alaskan, the three stupid sled dogs.

Hearing the other party talking about Erha, Akamaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue and pretend to be a fool.

Trying to get away with it by pretending to be a Husky.

"Uh, not really..."

Hearing his companion say this, the Cloud Ninja's face froze.

Ugh……

Sakura sighed helplessly in her heart.

Sasuke, who was always paying attention to Sakura, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes and the ninja sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed!

bass!
The blade was unsheathed, and the cold light splashed everywhere. At this moment, the blade was colder than the wind and snow outside!
This sudden, lightning-fast knife strike was like a vicious tiger hiding in the shadows catching its prey in an instant!
"Domoi!"

Following a cry of surprise from his companion, the Cloud Ninja man fell straight to the ground!
"There's a kid from Konoha!"

Before the other party could prepare, Kiba and Shino had already rushed towards them!

"Tooth tooth!"

"Mushidama!"

The black swarm of insects covered the sky and earth, and rushed towards the two unsuspecting Cloud Ninjas with fangs like a tornado!

The two Kumogakure Chunins were killed instantly by Kiba and Shino without any resistance!

Sakura was not surprised by this result. Kiba and Shino were the heirs of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans within Konoha, and the secret techniques they mastered were something that ordinary ninjas would never be able to touch in their lifetime.

But when the enemy was easily defeated, there was no smile on Sakura's face.

Even Sasuke, who was usually calm and composed, became much gloomier.

Sasuke looked at Akamaru in Kiba's arms, and his gloomy eyes scared Akamaru so much that he trembled.

"Aka, Akamaru didn't mean it..."

At this moment, Kiba also knew that Akamaru had made a mistake, but as he had loved dogs since he was a child, he couldn't help but want to refute on Akamaru's behalf.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if these people die?"

Sasuke looked at Ya in front of him, his dark eyes almost spitting flames.

"Can……"

Yaye knew that he was in the wrong, so he pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything.

Shino watched everything happening in silence. Not being good at speaking, he didn't know how to start.

"never mind."

"Even without Akamaru, it would be hard for us not to be discovered at that distance."

"Calm down now. It's useless to pursue responsibility now."

Sakura saw Sasuke and Kiba almost getting into a fight, so she quickly separated the two.

“We have to speed up now.”

"Now that this patrol team is dead, it won't be long before Kumogakure discovers something unusual."

Pressing Sasuke behind her, Sakura looked at Kiba in front of her and spoke in a tone that was as gentle as possible.

"We don't have much time."

“Reach your destination as quickly as possible.”

"Internal strife is absolutely forbidden. If you have any dissatisfaction, we can talk about it after we return."

Seeing the atmosphere in front of him being resolved by Sakura, Shino's tense expression under his collar couldn't help but relax a lot.
