Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 146 On the Way Back to the Village

The sun stands suspended in the sky.

A warm breeze rustled the hem of Uchiha Kin's robes.

He stood on high ground, looking out at the distant mountains.

The greenery is like a curtain covering the mountain.

His gaze shifted to Baiya, who was sitting on a rock not far away, gazing into the distance.

That's the direction of the Cloud Ninja.

In the woods behind the two, figures could be faintly seen.

Jin stepped forward.

"The village has already issued a transfer order for you to return to the village. What are you still standing here for?"

The war is now drawing to a close, and the other villages have withdrawn their troops from the front lines and chosen to defend their territories.

Konoha had already sent the order for him to return to the village to this location.

The following period was merely a period of probing among the villages, exploring the damage caused by each other's war.

Let's see if we can rub salt into each other's wounds.

In order to have a greater say at the negotiating table.

Whoever is stronger gets more.

While force is key to achieving peace, negotiation is what determines ending a war.

What follows will most likely be clashes between squads, which will actually expand the scope of the war but reduce the damage.

After all, the battles in squad mode wouldn't have resulted in the large-scale battles we see today.

"I didn't see anything," White Tooth said, shaking his head with a sigh.

"There are just a lot of people staying here."

This place suffered the least damage; how many comrades from the village were left behind on other battlefields?

He was actually more saddened by the loss of his fallen comrades than by the victory in the war.

Because White Teeth has always been someone who cherishes his companions.

Jin, however, was unimpressed by the other party's attitude. He didn't share White Fang's sentimentality; as long as he was safe, he didn't care about the lives of others.

Seeing Kim's indifferent expression, White Fang couldn't bring himself to discuss philosophical questions like the meaning of war with him.

"Let's go."

White Fang stood up, nimbly turned and leaped onto the treetop, quickly jumping from the first tree to the second.

Jin looked helplessly at White Fang, who was charging forward on his own. So many people just ignored him.

He raised his hand in a gesture to start.

Although Gin was only a Chunin, no one in the team objected to him giving orders.

Jin led the group, closely following behind White Fang.

The remaining people stayed where they were, numbering in the dozens.

They secretly left their original location and explored other areas in the surrounding area. Their main task was to re-establish the outpost.

Unlike the others who returned to the village.

They are the main force monitoring the movements of the Cloud Ninja.

On the other side of the woods, the group leaped swiftly between the trees.

It emitted a series of whooshing sounds as it cut through the air.

Jin followed behind Bai Ya. Compared to the others who were dressed in green vests or armor, Jin's ancient attire made him look like an anomaly.

They don't even have the knife pouches or weapons commonly seen on ninjas.

White teeth suddenly slowed down slightly.

"How about we have a race to see who gets to the village first?"

Jin glanced at him as he leaped between the trees.

Do you think everyone is as naive as you?

How old are you? Still behaving like this.

Bai Ya didn't speak, and in a flash, he landed in front of him.

Jin pursed his lips, his figure moving forward rapidly as if in a broken frame.

He's still young, so it's okay for him to be a little immature.

The two moved forward quickly, their figures appearing as if they were flashing by in the eyes of others.

White Fang's shaving distance in one go is much greater than Gold's Shunpo, but Gold can use Shunpo more often than White Fang.

In an instant, the two figures disappeared into the distance.

"A man's competitive spirit." A female ninja's lips twitched.

You guys are moving so fast, the team can't keep up at all!

Those two bastards!!

They're all irresponsible and bad people.

"Lord White Fang and Lord Black Demon have a really good relationship," a male Jonin remarked.

In the eyes of these ninjas, Uchiha Kin has now reached the level of White Fang.

However, the other party's status as a Chunin is only temporary. Once the other party becomes a Jonin, it will be easy for them to be selected as an elite Jonin.

That's what they think.

"Are you on good terms?"

Ignored by the other Jonin, Aburame Shiki looked into the distance through her sunglasses; the two figures had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

When he went to deliver the news of the victory, the two people didn't seem to be on good terms.

Jin had used his full power with Shunpo, but he still fell behind White Fang by a body length.

The difference in raw skill is one thing, but he won't give up so easily when it comes to speed!

But no matter how close the distance was, he couldn't close it. Even with a sudden increase in speed, he was still only one body length away.

Even though I understand the other person's concept of shaving, why can't I catch up?

"Gold," White Fang suddenly called out.

"Speak if you have something to say."

Jin Ke didn't have time to chat with him; he didn't believe that he couldn't even keep up with the other person in terms of speed.

"Do you want to become Hokage?"

Bai Ya's voice made Jin suddenly stop on the treetop and look up at Bai Ya, who was now standing even higher up.

His figure was completely black in the sunlight.

"I never imagined you would ask me this question."

The whites of the golden eyes turned jet black, allowing them to see clearly even under light, and the white teeth of the face became clearly visible.

White Tooth spoke carefully.

"I just feel that if you become Hokage, you might bring a different Konoha."

"Absolutely no interest," Jin refused decisively.

He wanted to do whatever he wanted, not to be bound by a small village; he was ultimately not a person of the Naruto world.

They were not confined by the so-called village.

He is not a country bumpkin.

Jin couldn't understand why White Fang would ask him that question.

Although the two didn't know each other very well, they had tested each other quite a bit. How could Uchiha Kin possibly have anything to do with the Hokage position?

Putting aside his current strength and battle achievements, he is not even qualified to compete for the Hokage position.

"There's nothing wrong with fighting for the bonds of the village."

"Yes, yes, very good."

Jin gave a perfunctory response.

He has a clear understanding of himself, which makes him fight for others.

It is absolutely impossible.

After several days of trekking.

Jin and Baiya finally saw a glimpse of the village.

The two suddenly accelerated at that moment.

White Fang's figure darted past Gold in an instant, and Gold's figure flashed repeatedly, surpassing White Fang once more.

Neither of them wanted to be a step behind, so they squeezed together, trying to push the other away.

The two were separated after colliding.

White light shone from White Fang's body, and his figure transformed into a white streak, far exceeding his original speed.

Jin was not to be outdone. He used his Wood Release technique to conceal his movements in the darkness, and multiple legs appeared on his body, instantly increasing his speed.

"I'll definitely be the first one to arrive!!" ×2.

The white and black figures collided once more and charged forward.

The two special Jonin guarding the gate saw two beams of light, one black and one white, and their faces began to contort as they turned to run away.

It's too late.

"boom!!"

The entire gate was smashed to pieces by force.

Jin and Baiya fell to the ground at the same time.
