Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

After a large number of Konoha ninja arrived at the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, the Second Kazekage seemed to immediately follow his heart and chose to "escape" without hesitation.

Faced with this situation, Konoha didn't need to think too much; their actions were purely reflexive... He ran, they chased, he couldn't escape, the process was always the same.

But to be honest, the Second Kazekage's "normal reaction" relieved Danzo Shimura... Danzo was more worried that the other party would fight to the death.

As the commander of Konoha, Danzo would have to lead the charge if the enemy was cornered and fighting desperately, but a head-on confrontation could easily result in his own death.

Now that the Second Kazekage has fled for his life, Danzo's side has gained a huge morale boost. After all, courage doesn't lie with the enemy, but with their own side.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away!"

At this moment, Danzo seemed to be a positive figure. He began to command the Konoha ninja to launch a pursuit, as if he was determined to make the Second Kazekage pay the price for his actions.

Danzo's lines were a bit too generic.

"Captain, don't you feel like something's off with this Kazekage?"

Yu Xian helped Mighty clear a path, as these "defeated soldiers" would not follow the main force in the pursuit... Yu Xian took the opportunity to express her doubts.

"That's definitely a bit strange. It's odd that someone like him would go on a solo mission; he should at least have a team of elite guards with him..."

Inuzuka thought for a moment, then continued, "What is the purpose of such a person coming to the battlefield? Is it merely to deal with the Konoha ninjas within the Land of Rivers? It doesn't make sense."

"Even after Konoha's reinforcements arrived, he actually chose to flee..."

At this time, a large number of Konoha ninja followed Danzo in pursuit, while a few ninja stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, gather intelligence, and treat the wounded.

"Captain, is it possible that the answer lies within the riddle itself?"

"How so?"

"An irrational phenomenon often serves another, more deeply hidden, rational intention. Perhaps the Second Kazekage was merely bait to lure the main force of Konoha. Now that the main force has appeared, his goal has been achieved, so he immediately chose to retreat," Yu Xuan said.

Kohinata Shingen understood Yugen's words first.

"Yu Xian, are you saying that the real battlefield isn't here?"

"Senior, put yourself in my shoes. There's a very simple question that needs answering... The Second Kazekage has appeared, so the main force of Konoha has come to meet him. So, the question is, where is the main force of Sunagakure?"

Yu Xian's words left the group staring at each other in disbelief. This...this isn't right, is it?

Immediately afterward, Inuzuka was startled. Ignoring his injuries, he rushed straight towards a Konoha ninja who was investigating the scene.

"Contact Lord Danzo immediately! We may have been tricked! The Second Kazekage's appearance is most likely a ploy to lure our main force away, creating conditions for the Sand Village to launch a surprise attack on Konoha's frontline camp!"

Inuzuka spoke quickly and urgently, and the Konoha ninja opposite him was initially a little confused, then showed an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Inuzuka stomped his foot in anger, then gracefully mounted the dog and charged straight towards the direction Danzo was chasing... He was going to personally warn Shimura Danzo.

Actually, stopping the pursuit is quite difficult. As we all know, a certain second-generation village leader who was proficient in space-time ninjutsu still "sacrificed himself" when faced with an attack.

This shows that even for Shadow, the human wave tactic can be effective.

The Second Kazekage was young and vigorous when he sacrificed himself, while the Second Kazekage currently being pursued by Konoha is old and frail. Therefore, as long as Danzo Shimura dares to sacrifice his subordinates, he could very well seize the great credit of defeating the Second Kazekage.

If Danzo Shimura had the merit of killing the Kazekage, he would definitely be one step closer to becoming Hokage... even if he only killed a retired Kazekage.

Don't underestimate a retired village chief. Has Hiruzen Sarutobi ever accomplished something this great? No, Danzo will be able to shout "Who else?" in Konoha.

With the team leader "running away," the remaining three members of the team decided to rest on the spot and assist in the rescue.

Yugen and Kohinata Shingen first carried Might Dai to the side and let him lie down to rest... Might Dai, who had just used the Eight Gates, looked very peaceful at this moment, as if he had passed away.

Zhenyan tried to touch Might Day gently with his hand, and the other party immediately let out a scream.

"Severe muscle fatigue and tearing, with an unusually intense stinging sensation."

"The prolonged state of chakra exceeding limits and the exaggerated high-speed displacement caused varying degrees of bone and joint damage throughout the body."

"Excessive stimulation of the body by chakra can potentially cause internal organ damage. It's obvious that this is a technique that depletes one's life force... Senior Dai, there's no denying that what you just used was a forbidden technique."

After briefly examining Might Guy's body, Shinonomi Kohinata made this judgment.

Yugen felt that Kohinata Shingan's judgment was basically correct. What does this mean? It means that Might Guy's Eight Gates technique was not yet fully mastered. His level of mastery was probably only equivalent to "being able to do it with ease," and it certainly hadn't reached the level of "perfection."

Using the Eight Gates technique comes with a price, but according to Yu Xian's understanding, as long as the eighth gate, the Gate of Death, is not opened, then this technique is not considered a forbidden technique.

"Forbidden technique? No, I was just burning my youth, but unfortunately I'm too lazy usually... I didn't truly burn it out, nor did I actually stop the enemy." Might Guy was quite regretful and self-reproachful.

Okay, if what he's after is the so-called burnout, then he certainly hasn't burned out.

Might Guy's performance was normal and in line with Hazen's understanding; in comparison, Shinonomi Kohinata's combat ability was more astonishing.

"Kohime-senpai, I never expected you could use Gentle Fist... Is this something you can do without the Byakugan?"

This certainly cannot be explained simply by saying that Kohinata comes from Hinata.

The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan may seem ordinary, but if an enemy is facing an elite Jonin-level Hyuga ninja and accidentally takes two punches, the only outcome is basically that he will be lying down.

"It's possible, but without the Byakugan, the precision of Gentle Fist is lost. I'm just throwing punches randomly and crudely. If I were to say that the techniques I'm using are Gentle Fist, the Hyuga clan would definitely not recognize them."

Shingen Kohinata said his Gentle Fist was just random punches, but Hagen thought it wasn't random punches at all; he was clearly punching very well.

"I didn't expect that everyone in our team, except for the captain, would have something they're particularly good at. It's quite a coincidence..." Kohinata Shingen looked at Yugen with a meaningful gaze.

"It is indeed quite special. Senior Zhenyan and Senior Dai both have Jonin-level combat power. It's a pity that they couldn't coordinate closely in the battle just now. Our team lost a chance to become heroes," Yu Xian said, seemingly unaware of the other's gaze.

On the battlefield of the Ninja World War that day, someone did indeed become a hero, but unfortunately, this person was neither among the ordinary taijutsu ninja squad, nor was he Shimura Danzo, who was chasing the Second Kazekage...

That was a ninja who used a knife.
