Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

"Walk."

Hatake Sakumo did not hesitate too much. Since his action had been discovered, he would quickly deal with the people over there, rescue his companions, and leave quickly to alert the border troops.

The three of them immediately ran in the direction of the battle.

Soon, as they approached the battle site, they were inevitably discovered by the ten Akatsuki members in front of them.

"It's Konoha... so fast!"

The Akatsuki member who first discovered Hatake Sakumo had just reminded the exit when a white light flashed across his eyes. Then his vision spun sharply and he saw his own headless body.

However, with his reminder, his companions had time to react and jumped away to respond.

Moreover, the speed of response was a bit abnormal, which did not seem like the response ability of the Akatsuki members that Hatake Sakumo had discovered during this period.

"Water Style - Explosion Style!"

"Turong-Tulong Spear!"

Five water-style blasting streams swept in like a tornado and waterfall, blocking Hatake Sakumo's movement. Countless earth spikes that broke out of the ground further prevented Hatake Sakumo from getting closer.

The opponent is very familiar with his fighting style!

Hatake Sakumo's heart suddenly froze. The opponent knew that he was very fast, so he used large-scale water and earth escape techniques to change the terrain and prevent his quick thrust.

"These guys are not from Akatsuki... No, they should be the masterminds behind Akatsuki. Which hidden village are they from?"

"not good!"

While thinking, Hatake Sakumo suddenly realized a problem. The organization preparing to attack the Land of Fire might not be the Akatsuki organization but the hidden villages of other big countries.

Iwagakure?

Sunagakure?

Or Yunyin?

Possibilities flashed quickly through Hatake Sakumo's mind. No matter which possibility it was, they had to send the information out as soon as possible, otherwise Konoha would suffer greater losses.

The attack on the Okunigakure Village was no joke.

"You guys go to the Rabbit Crown first, I'll take care of this."

Hatake Sakumo made the decision instantly and rushed towards the remaining nine Akatsuki ninjas. The two Anbu ninjas behind him immediately took a detour to support their companion Rabbit Crown.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Naturally, the enemy would not want the two Anbu ninjas from Konoha to go to support the front, so they immediately sent four people to stop them.

"Earth Escape - Earth Wave Technique."

Hatake Sakumo suddenly pressed his hands on the ground. In an instant, the ground, starting from him and extending to the area within a hundred meters around the ten Akatsuki members in front, surged violently like waves.

The Akatsuki members who were dividing their forces suddenly lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, two Anbu ninjas took the lead in breaking out.

Tear!

The sound of air cutting suddenly rang out, and a white light quickly came in front of several Akatsuki members who were standing unsteadily like lightning.

"hateful!"

The enemy didn't expect that Hatake Sakumo could actually use the terrain against them. At this time, they couldn't balance their bodies, couldn't form hand seals, and didn't have time to form hand seals. They could only instinctively raise the kunai or short swords in their hands to resist.

However, the reason why Konoha White Fang is Konoha White Fang is because the white lightning sword in his hand is covered by white lightning without any leakage and is extremely sharp.

Zizizizi!

The kunai and daggers in their hands were as fragile as cheese. Hatake Sakumo's white thunder sword easily cut through the kunai and daggers and swept across their necks, or pierced their hearts.

In an instant, four more people were reduced from the nine, and the remaining five wanted to disperse, but they could not hold out for long before they were killed one by one by Hatake Sakumo.

The gap between the Kage level and ordinary jonin and chunin is so terrifying.

Especially for speed-type Kage-level warriors, there is not much difference between jonin and genin. Only when there are enough people to use large-scale attack ninjutsu together can they restrain the Kage-level warriors.

Boom boom...the sounds of detonating tags exploding rang out one after another.

The battle was fierce among the three members of the Anbu team.

When Hatake Sakumo rushed over, his three companions who were besieged by twelve enemies were already injured. Among them, Tuman, who was attacked first, had a large piece of flesh blown off his thigh by the detonating talisman. If he was not treated quickly, the bleeding alone would kill him.

Zizizi!

Hatake Sakumo appeared in an instant and killed two Akatsuki members who were unable to dodge.

A gap suddenly appeared in the encirclement of twelve people.

"You guys take the rabbit crown and leave quickly. I'll cover you."

Hatake Sakumo, holding a thunder sword, faced the remaining ten enemies and spoke to the three companions behind him. Deeply influenced by the will of fire, he made the decision to leave without hesitation.

"Be careful, Master Zuo Yun."

The three Anbu members did not hesitate. Two of them immediately helped the injured Tu Mian and left. They understood that only with the strongest Lord Zuo Yun covering their retreat could they escape. With Lord Zuo Yun's strength, it would be easy for him to retreat even if he could not kill the enemy without their burden.

However, they were like entering an enemy's lair. Not long after they left, they were surrounded by twelve enemies again.

Boom boom... The roar of the detonating tags and the fire escape attacks resounded throughout the rain forest.

After Hatake Soyun killed four enemies again, these people became a little scared and changed their battle strategy, focusing on restraining and keeping Hatake Soyun.

Sensing the explosion coming from afar, Hatake Sakumo instantly changed his battle strategy. He no longer sought to kill, but instead tried his best to break through and support his companions.

The strength of these "Akatsuki" members is seriously abnormal, they cooperate well, and their fighting style is definitely that of the Anbu of the Hidden Village of the Great Okuni.

Without him, his three companions would never have been able to get out of here.

Soon, with his superb speed, Hatake Sakumo rushed to his three companions, who were injured again at this time.

Ten more enemies surrounded us, and at the same time, more enemies were rushing towards us from farther away.

"Save your companions or complete the mission, what do you want to choose, boy from the Hatake family?"

On a cliff on a mountaintop in the distance, looking at the battlefield below, Danzo's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly in his heart. Then he said to his subordinates behind him: "Notify the people in the territory to take action in two hours."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

The Root ninja took the order and retreated.

Two hours was calculated just right. If Hatake Sakumo abandoned his companions now, it would be just enough time to return to the border to report the news.

Now it depends on what choice Hatake Sakumo makes.

Chapter 209: Three Generations of Experience

"Lord Zuo Yun, please go, the mission is important, we will cover you."

Faced with more and more enemies, the three Anbu knew that they were the ones who were dragging down Lord Sakumo after all.

At this time, the enemy surrounded but did not kill, obviously trying to delay time.

The reason for delaying is definitely to buy more time for the attack on the Fire Nation.

One of them must go back quickly to report the news.

This person can only be Lord Zuo Yun, and only he can break through the encirclement, and the three of them can't.

At this time, the masks of the three Konoha Anbu members had been shattered in the battle, revealing three young faces inside. All three were only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Those who can join the Anbu at this age are obviously gifted and can be called geniuses, the future pillars of Konoha.

Faced with the request from three young faces to cover the retreat, Hatake Sakumo refused without any hesitation.

"Follow me. Once you find a breakthrough, just evacuate. I will definitely hold the enemy back."

Hatake Sakumo didn't hesitate at all and crossed his fists in front of his chest.

The first door, the door of life, opens.

The second door, rest door open

As the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu in Hatake Sakumo's body opened one by one, violent chakra began to burst out from his body.

The three Anbu members were blown aside by the violent chakra.

"Eight Gates Ninjutsu!!!" The three Anbu members were shocked, and the Root members who were pretending to be members of Akatsuki around them were also shocked.

This is the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu. Legend has it that if all of them are activated, a Genin can instantly possess a terrifying forbidden technique that is dozens of times more powerful than a Hokage.

Now that this forbidden technique is being performed by a Kage-level expert like Hatake Sakumo, how terrifying would that be?

In an instant, a trace of fear from the bottom of their hearts appeared in the eyes of the root members, and their bodies involuntarily took a few steps back.

As a powerful figure at the level of a shadow, who doesn’t have some desperate tricks up his sleeve?

The forbidden technique of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu that can open up to seven gates is Hatake Sakumo's last resort.

His speed was already very fast, and with seven of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu fully opened, his speed would only become more terrifying.

If he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

However, he chose to cover the retreat without hesitation, and was willing to sacrifice his life for the future of his three young Anbu ninja companions.

"it is good!"

On the cliff in the distance, Danzo said "good" in his heart.

Don't get me wrong, this "good" does not mean that Hatake Sakumo is a good person for choosing to sacrifice himself for his companions, but that the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen chose the best members of the Anbu team for Hatake Sakumo.

The three young ANBU members were deliberately arranged to leave Hatake Sakumo no choice.

I have to say that the three generations have a very accurate grasp of human nature.

The story of the Second Hokage who chose to sacrifice himself to ensure the continued growth of Konoha's young generation and ultimately died, has been circulated in Konoha and is known to almost everyone.

This was the effort made by the Third Hokage to legitimize his position.

This effort has impacted many people.

At least Hatake Sakumo, who began to regard himself as the future Hokage, was greatly affected.

Faced with three young ANBU companions, Hatake Sakumo, who was making the choice as the Hokage, actually had no choice. It was the Hokage's duty to protect the young people and keep them alive, and he had no choice but to do so.

"It's done!"

Danzo smiled slightly. The plan was almost successful so far. The next step was to restrain Hatake Sakumo.

The Eight Gates is indeed powerful, but if there is a delay, his roots can still do the job of simply holding the opponent back and delaying the time.

"Disperse!"

Faced with Hatake Sakumo who had opened the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, the Root members were well aware of his power and without any hesitation, the leading captain immediately ordered everyone to disperse.

Their goal has always been to prevent Hatake Sakumo and others from returning to the Fire Country within the specified time.

It would be enough to delay Hatake Sakumo and his group for ten minutes.

There are many of them, and once they are scattered, even if Hatake Sakumo is invincible, it will be difficult to kill them in a short time.

Not to mention that he also had to protect the three young ANBU members.

"Come on!"

The Root members reacted quickly, and Hatake Sakumo reacted even faster. The moment the seven gates were fully opened, he punched out. The exploding lightning instantly covered a hundred meters in front of him. The Root members within this range were knocked down instantly by the lightning.

The three Anbu members had heavy expressions on their faces, but facing Lord Sakumo who had already opened all seven gates, they could only live up to his expectations.

The three of them immediately supported each other and ran towards the gap in the encirclement opened by Hatake Sayun.

"Don't try to escape!"

"Wind Escape-Big Breakthrough!"

"Fire Style - Train Technique!"

"Water Release-Water Crush Wave!"

"Thunder Escape-Earth Walk!"

"Earth Escape - Earthquake Wave!"

The Root members cooperated well, and after keeping their distance, everyone performed synchronized ninjutsu, that is, five people performed the same ninjutsu at the same time, allowing the scale of the ninjutsu to achieve a large-scale attack effect.

Facing this kind of large-scale ninjutsu attack, it is still necessary to use the cooperation of five types of ninjutsu.
