Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Regardless, Akimichi Torifu, as a ninja, and even one trained by the Second Hokage, actually didn't kill indiscriminately... After the team disposed of the Kusagakure ninja harmlessly, they let them leave.

When a small team on a mission encounters this situation, most of the time they will choose to simply and brutally eliminate the two ninjas to prevent future troubles, regardless of whether Kusagakure is a "neutral force".

It can only be said that for Akimichi Torifu, killing was a professional requirement, not a personal hobby. Moreover, he was more concerned about the overall situation of the Ninja World War than the average ninja, and he would help Konoha gain support whenever he had the chance.

After a brief incident, the team continued on its way.

The Grass Country truly lives up to its name, as its surface vegetation is mainly grassland, with wild grasses growing to a height of more than a person. This kind of environment is quite suitable for hiding one's figure.

The Konoha squad's operation had a time requirement, so they didn't proceed at full speed to give certain people enough time to react.

Therefore, it took them almost a whole day, and they didn't arrive at their designated location until noon on the second day.

After crossing the grassland, the team came into view of sparse woods, which was the location where they planned to set up an observation post.

The team became increasingly cautious in their actions.

"Scout the surrounding area carefully. Once you've confirmed there are no enemies, immediately begin constructing an observation post."

To make the performance convincing, after arriving at the designated location, Akimichi Torifu still required the team to carry out the mission.

"Yes, Captain."

Omori Kairi deployed "reconnaissance units" to check the surrounding situation, while Hazen and Uchiha Hazuki also began to observe with their eyes... What they didn't know was that the group's actions had already fallen into the sights of the Iwagakure ninja, and an encirclement was being set up.

While observing her surroundings, Yu Xian suddenly spotted a bridge spanning the river. The bridge looked somewhat familiar, and in an instant, Yu Xian felt that it might be a famous tourist attraction.

"Captain, this bridge is..."

"It should be the Kannabi Bridge, which is a key transportation hub in the Land of Grass."

It really was that bridge. Of course, that makes sense, since the attack route of Iwagakure was in this area.

However, this was during the Second Shinobi World War, not the Third Shinobi World War.

Yu Xian thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Captain, this bridge looks like a crucial node on a supply route. If we blow up this bridge, does that mean we can cut off Iwagakure's offensive or supply lines?"

Akimichi Torifu glanced at Hagen with a surprised look, then reached out and patted Hagen on the shoulder, and said:

"Yugen, your idea is quite good, but have you considered Iwagakure's engineering capabilities? Iwagakure has so many exceptionally strong Earth Release ninjas. Even if we destroy this bridge, they can easily rebuild a bridge across the river."

Yu Xian: "..."

That makes sense, but the story I know is not like that... Destroying the bridge not only cut off Iwagakure's supplies and rendered the enemy unable to attack, but the person who destroyed the bridge even became a hero.

However, upon closer reflection, Akimichi Torifu's explanation is more reasonable, as the Earth Release ninjas of Iwagakure do indeed possess a strong ability to modify terrain.

Since building a bridge using Earth Release is nothing special for them, what was the Kannabi Bridge Battle all about?

"That's a bit strange; there are absolutely no Iwagakure ninja around."

The team's reconnaissance yielded nothing, which instead aroused everyone's suspicion.

Yu Xian had some vague guesses about this operation, so at this moment he was only concerned about when Konoha's reinforcements would arrive.

Bang!

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose up not far ahead, and then two figures gradually appeared... They were two Iwagakure ninja.

The good news is that Konoha's fishing operation was a success; the bad news is that it was a little too successful.

The two Iwagakure ninjas quickly locked their gazes on the direction of the Konoha team. With their appearance as a sign, more Iwagakure ninjas appeared around them and surrounded them.

"team leader……"

"Don't panic, this is our real mission. Hold on a little longer, and our reinforcements will arrive," Akimichi Torifu said.

Under pressure from more than twenty Iwagakure ninja, the Konoha team had no choice but to reveal themselves.

After seeing Akimichi Torifu, the enemy captain's expression changed noticeably... first, "Just as I thought," then he felt like he had won the lottery.

"Konoha Jonin Akimichi Torifu, it really is you. I didn't expect you to catch such a big fish."

A ninja of Akimichi Torifu's caliber is extremely valuable to every ninja village. If we can eliminate him, then Iwagakure's trip will not have been in vain.

Yu Xian felt that these Iwagakure ninjas seemed a bit too straightforward. Didn't they consider the problem of exposing high-level spies?

"It seems you came prepared... targeting me? But I'm just an ordinary Konoha Jonin." Akimichi Torifu shook his head.

Have the Konoha reconnaissance ninjas following behind confirmed the situation here? If so, their spy identities should be confirmed.

"No, you're a second-generation rich kid..."

However, before the Iwagakure ninja could finish speaking, Uchiha Hazuki from the Konoha team suddenly flashed forward, and at the same time, she had already completed the hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Forget all the nonsense, it all boils down to fighting anyway, so let's skip the middle steps.

Uchiha ninjas usually seem cold, but once they're on the battlefield, they instantly transform into grumpy older sisters.

With no other choice, Yu Xian could only face the enemy head-on.

Outnumbered and outgunned, and more importantly, as a newly formed ninja squad that had only carried out one mission together, they lacked coordination and were forced to fight individually.

"Prioritize reducing the enemy's numbers, you provide cover..."

"Captain, let me go first."

Yugen interrupted Akimichi Torifu's words, and then he didn't say much more. He just used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly change positions while moving quickly among the Iwagakure ninja.

He quickly drew some of the enemies behind him.

"We can't fight a protracted battle. Now is not the time to worry about chakra depletion..." Yugen decided to try a new technique.

He confirmed the enemy's location again, then reached into his ninja tool pouch at his waist, took out three smoke grenades, and slammed them to the ground.

Purple smoke rose up, momentarily obscuring Yu Xian's figure and blocking the enemy's view.

Concealed within the smoke, Yu Xian began forming hand seals...

Wind Release: Shūsha (Hand-held Sword)

He imbued a spinning shuriken with wind attributes. With the enhancement of wind blades, the small shuriken produced the killing range of a giant shuriken, and it was also lighter and sharper.

Then, Yu Xian threw the shuriken in the direction of the enemy.

The high-frequency spinning sound faded away, and as the sword slipped from his hand, Yu Xian formed hand seals once more:

Chou—Xu—Chen—Zi—Xu—Hai—Si—Yin

The Sword Shadow Clone Technique!

A swirling wind-style shuriken burst through the smoke screen, then multiplied into a hundred...
