Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 154 Arrival at Command Post

The flaming whirl formed by the combination of wind and flames resembles a cannonball.

They pierced the darkness with blinding flashes of light, roaring out.

The fiery wind ball exploded in the Sand Village, creating scorching and massive shockwaves that hurled surrounding soil and rubble high into the air.

Boom boom boom.

Immediately afterwards, explosions rang out one after another, and the entire battlefield seemed to be set ablaze.

The firelight illuminated the sky, turning night into day.

Some Sand Ninja who dodged the attack were not directly hit by the wind ball, but the flames scattered from the explosion of the wind ball adhered to their bodies.

The extremely high temperature burned the Sand Ninja to a crisp the moment they came into contact with it.

The battlefield was filled with the sounds of explosions and the screams of Sand Ninja.

Two B-rank ninjutsu, plus Chiga's mastery of Fire Release and Wind Release, combined with a large amount of chakra, produced an extremely outstanding effect. The Sand Ninja only lasted for a minute before being completely wiped out.

More than thirty Sand Ninja died tragically at the hands of Chiga.

The battlefield fell silent instantly. A night breeze, carrying the aroma of meat, blew by, making Hyuga Hizashi, Inuzuka Susumu, and the others tremble with fear.

"That's amazing!"

"Is this the genius of the Uchiha clan?"

"I knew he knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, but I didn't expect him to be this strong in ninjutsu as well."

Are you alright?

Hyuga Hizashi asked, "Although Chiga only released one Wind Release and one Fire Release, the amount of chakra consumed to achieve such an effect is incalculable."

He estimated that for these two ninjutsu to achieve the same effect, they would at least deplete his chakra reserves.

"I'm fine!"

Chiga turned his head and said, "We just went a bit too far and didn't leave any survivors, so we have no way of knowing why they appeared from behind."

"This is not our responsibility. Just report it to Lady Tsunade, and the Anbu ninjas will naturally follow up."

Hyuga Hizashi said that they had all thought they would have to sacrifice themselves to buy time for the logistics troops.

Now that we've turned the tables and annihilated the enemy, it's already a stroke of luck and a great achievement.

Hyuga Hizashi swayed as he stood up and said, "Let's go back. Luckily, most of our team consists of medical ninjas, so they should be able to cure our poison!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga didn't say much, but simply helped Hyuga Hizashi up and headed towards the camp.

Back at the camp, everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that all the returning ninjas were their own.

After all, most of them are medical ninjas, and combat is not their strong suit.

If the Sand Ninja rushed over, it would be like wolves among sheep.

"Medical team, come quickly and analyze the poison!"

Because the Sand Village used a variety of different toxins, Chiga and many medical ninjas worked for most of the night to analyze the toxins from all the poisoned ninjas.

After that, preparing the antidote only took a little time.

The difficulty in detoxification lies in the process of analyzing the toxins; if any step goes wrong, the prepared antidote will be ineffective.

After receiving treatment, these poisoned ninjas quickly regained their strength and stood up again, feeling as if they could go for another round.

But then he looked at Chika, who seemed completely unaffected, and realized that even ten of his shots weren't as powerful as one of the opponent's. He immediately felt that it wasn't very interesting anymore.

Once everything was settled, everyone rested again, but the number of ninjas on night watch doubled, and the area covered also doubled.

As the first rays of sunlight shone on the camp in the early morning, the bugle call to assemble sounded.

Everyone then got up, packed their belongings, and continued their journey.

Due to the night raid last night, the main force remained highly vigilant during the march, so its speed was even slower than before.

"signal!"

Fifty kilometers from the command post, several ninjas dressed in black robes blocked the path of the main force.

This area is already within the Konoha command's perimeter. From here onwards, there will be such checking ninjas every ten kilometers.

Seeing this, Hyuga Hizashi did not directly reply to the ninja wearing the Konoha headband, but instead ordered the troops to be on alert.

Although he knew the other party couldn't possibly be a Sand Ninja, he knew that being careful was the only way to survive to the end.

After doing all this, he made a few hand gestures to the person, and the other person, upon seeing Hyuga Hizashi's gestures, also made a few different hand gestures.

The two checked the code. Once the code was correct, Hyuga Hizashi took a scroll from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

After carefully examining the scroll, the leading ninja on the other side nodded to his subordinates, handed it back to Hyuga Hizashi, and sent his main force forward.

And so, Chiga and the others passed through layer upon layer of checkpoints before finally arriving at the command post.

The reason why the Sand Ninja appeared behind Konoha is something that needs to be reported to Tsunade.

Hyuga Hizashi and his group of Jonin still needed to hand over supplies, in addition to Chiga's original plan to go find Tsunade.

So they entrusted the report of the attack on the logistics unit to Chiga.

Ever since Chiga saved them, they have accepted Chiga's status. If they weren't so young, they would have called Chiga "Master".

Along the way, Chiga's team encountered many hidden gazes.

However, after confirming the identities of Chiga and the others, they quickly shifted their attention.

Upon arriving at the command post, before Chiga could even speak, Tsunade inside said, "Come in!"

Chiga went inside and saw Tsunade sitting in the center, holding a battle map in her hand, with a young man standing next to her.

"Lady Tsunade!"

After the Chiga squad entered, they all shouted in unison.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade looked up and glanced at Shizune before turning to Chiga.

"Chiga, you came with the logistics unit, right? Did you encounter any unexpected situations on the way?"

Upon hearing this, Chiga replied directly, "Lady Tsunade, three days ago, our logistics unit was attacked by the Sand Ninja. The enemy consisted of fifteen fully-equipped squads, carrying a new type of poison. They have now been annihilated by us! A detailed report will be submitted by Captain Hizashi shortly!"

"Fifteen Sand Ninja Squads, that's a lot!"

Tsunade frowned slightly, then stood up, looked at the sand table in front of her, and said to Chiga, "Point out the location of the attack on this sand table."

Chiga stepped forward, looked at the sand table, then pointed to a certain spot and said to Tsunade, "It's here."

"How did we get here?"

Tsunade looked at it and muttered to herself in surprise.

After arriving at the front line, Tsunade did not rush to reclaim the lost territory. Instead, she built defensive fortifications fifty miles away from the Sand Village. During this time, she dispatched five hundred ninjas to clear out all the remaining Sand Village ninjas along this line.

The logistics troops' route of advance was within this area.

Therefore, she couldn't understand why Chiga and the others were attacked. Even if there were some who escaped, there shouldn't have been so many Sand Ninja.
