Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Chapter 70 Setting Fire to the Mountain

Kohinata Shingan sealed the enemy's corpse in a scroll, and then the two quickly left the battlefield.

During the battle, both sides set fires and made explosions in the dark, which would definitely attract the attention of the surrounding ninjas. As for which side would arrive first, it was hard to predict.

Yu Xian doesn't want to fight a second match for the time being. Just as he said, with the explosive ninjas of Iwagakure as proof, it fully demonstrates that they have fully completed the "combat objectives" of this mission.

Bloodline limit ninjas are considered "high-performance" targets, where one is worth ten.

Kohinata Shingen once again proved his strength, defeating the enemy more efficiently than Hagen. Although the enemy was weaker, a ninja who can fulfill his mission is a good ninja.

As long as the enemy's abilities aren't too outrageous, Hyuga's Gentle Fist technique can be used to take on ten opponents at once. Similarly, Kohinata's Mantra ability is also quite impressive.

Kohinata Shingen carefully put away the scroll, then asked Hagen, "Hagen, shall we set a trap?"

Yu Xian shook her head without even thinking, for a very bizarre reason:

"Trap-type measures either take a lot of time or require the use of ninja tools such as explosive tags... Explosive tags are too precious, but they might come in very handy in an emergency."

"If we want to cover up our actions, I have a better way."

Yu Xian formed hand seals and began continuously releasing fire-style ninjutsu, igniting a larger area of ​​the forest... That's right, he directly set the mountain on fire.

Compared to war, forest fires are nothing.

Since Yu Xian has accumulated a lot of natural energy in her body, she might as well use it. Rather than dissipating it, she might as well consume it.

As Yugen retreated, he set fires at the same time. This action naturally made Kohinata Shingen look puzzled. Explosive tags are indeed a rare resource, but to prefer to consume chakra rather than explosive tags, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

"Yu Xian, isn't this going a bit too far?"

As Kohinata Shingen watched as half the sky was bathed in a dark red glow, he turned around and discovered that the black markings on Yugen's body had faded... some kind of secret technique had ended.

Yu Gen is indeed full of secrets.

"As long as we have no objections, no one else will."

Yu Xian is not prepared to engage with enemy units again; disengaging from the battlefield is her top priority.

Shortly after they left, the Iwagakure ninja arrived at the battlefield first, and their reaction was indeed very swift.

Looking at the burning area before them, even ninjas could not easily set foot there.

"Captain, was there a large-scale battle taking place here just now?" an Iwagakure ninja asked the ninja leading the team.

Large-scale fighting is unlikely because they were unaware of any movement beforehand.

"What about the two sides in the conflict? Surely someone can't just be setting fires for no reason?" The captain, of course, had no idea that his guess was very close to reality.

"Can you sense what's going on deep inside the battlefield? Are any of our ninjas there?" the captain asked again.

"I can only sense a strong residual chakra, but with such a large fire, there couldn't possibly be a large number of ninjas inside."

"Should we put out the fire, Captain?"

The captain looked up at the sky, then decisively shook his head:

"Just don't let the fire spread. It's still raining, and the fire should be extinguished in about an hour or two."

"Check with command to confirm the movement of our ninjas. It should be difficult to find any bodies after such a large fire."

"Captain, you mean...?"

"Go quickly."

"Yes, Captain."

The captain had already made a judgment. He believed that the current battlefield was most likely caused by a battle between elite ninjas at the squad level or even less. Since no other Iwagakure ninjas had appeared, it meant that their side was very likely to lose.

The consequences of the defeat are undeniable; it is highly likely that one of our "important figures" has been killed in battle, and our fighting strength and morale will suffer a corresponding blow.

"The raging fire... no, the raging fire that was destined to be extinguished, it was so vivid."

On the other side, as Yu Xuan and his companion retreated, they encountered Konoha ninjas who had come to scout the situation.

"Who is it?"

"Relax, we're on the same side, we're from the commander's direct command."

Kohinata Shingen stepped forward, then stopped, waiting for the other person to see his headband clearly before tossing his "identification" to the Konoha ninja opposite him.

The Konoha ninja on the other side carefully checked the document and then returned it to Kohinata Shingan.

"What happened over there?" the leading Konoha ninja asked.

"We talked as we retreated... We fought with the Iwagakure ninja, and to prevent the enemy's main force from pursuing us, we had to use Fire Release to block the battlefield," Kohinata Shingen said.

Yu Xian glanced at the other party. Zhen Yan didn't explain the battle in detail, nor did he reveal that the two of them had defeated the Iwagakure Explosion Release ninja.

"Such a large-scale fire jutsu... was caused by the two of you?" The leading Konoha ninja felt there was something wrong with the statement. Could it be that all the other friendly ninjas on the battlefield had died?

"Only the two of us from Konoha are participating in the battle," Yu Xuan said.

"The fire was caused by Fire Release, but that doesn't mean the fire was caused by Fire Release. Uh, the wind is a bit strong tonight and the rain is a bit light," Kohinata Shingen offered a forced explanation.

Yu Xian smiled inwardly. Senior Zhenyan's explanation was very good, but don't explain it again next time.

Zhenyan really wants to show Yuxian's strength, but he needs Yuxian's permission. It is precisely because he has not given up his original plan that he has to take into account Yuxian's desire to "keep a low profile".

Regarding the strength of ninjas, Yugen's understanding differed from that of other ninjas of that era, including Shingan... Yugen considered strong ninjas to be like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, but Shingan believed that ninjas like Yugen were strong.

Yu Xian's idea that "all beings below the six realms are ants" is somewhat extreme, but if he wants to truly possess the power to protect himself, then it's hard for him not to consider the threat of "aliens".

Although the version where the Otsutsuki clan roams the land is still far off, that day will come sooner or later.

"What's the enemy's situation?"

"We took care of two of them, but the battle was quite loud. As I just mentioned, considering the possibility of enemy reinforcements, we decided to retreat."

"A very rational judgment... Recently, there seems to be an increasing number of cases on the battlefield where people are blindly fighting without any clear objective," said the leading Konoha ninja.

Aside from those who are completely numb, almost everyone who talks to a rational ninja about war-related matters looks worried.

"That's right."

Yu Xian felt that he was also within the scope of the other party's accusations, because he did not have a specific mission when he came to the battlefield. His mission was only to broadly reduce the enemy's numbers.
