In the early morning, the sea surface was shrouded in a thick layer of fog.
As soon as I stepped out of the tent, a breeze blew gently from the direction of the sea, which was warm and comfortable.
Nawaki and Nonō were walking in the quiet camp, inspecting the surroundings. Everything was calm as usual.
This point should be the time to rest, but he had just finished an operation and was highly concentrated for a long time. Nonō didn't feel much sleepy, so he found Nawaki who was on patrol and walked with him in the camp.
"Thank you for your hard work. After checking this circle, you can go back." Nawaki lowered his head and apologized.
In the past two years, Nawaki seemed to have taken growth hormones. He began to grow wildly and was already more than a head taller than Nonō.
Nonō shook his head, with a smile on his face, "It's my turn to say sorry. You are so busy during the day, but you still have to take time to accompany me at night."
Nawaki's face turned red. He took the initiative to patrol and protect the safety of the camp. However, the fundamental reason was that Nonō often had to be busy late at night operating on patients.
Shocked, Nawaki scratched his hair and didn't know what to say next.
Should he use the "play hard to get" tactic taught by Chen, or the secret of "stalking" taught by Jiraiya?
There was an embarrassment called stuck in the air.
Glancing at Nawaki's slightly silly face, Nonō pushed the black frame with his fingertips and asked proactively, "I don't think you have ever come to me for treatment?"
"I rarely get injured. Even if I do, my sister will treat me, so I don't need to trouble you." Nawaki replied honestly.
"..." Nonō held his forehead helplessly, feeling a little tired.
Looking at the girl's movements, Nawaki asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, it's just that Wind Blow has been here for a long time and I have a headache."
"Then drink more..." Nawaki suddenly stopped talking.
"What should you drink more of?" Nonō asked with a smile on his face, "You're not asking me to drink more hot water, are you?"
Nawaki was a little embarrassed. He was indeed planning to say this, but he suddenly remembered the taboo words Chen had told him and stopped talking.
"Well then, I'll accompany you to Base Hospital to have a look."
The girl's pretty eyebrows were raised slightly, and she didn't seem to be that straight.
"Forget it, there's no need to go. Don't forget that I am Medical Ninja."
"Then... okay."
Nonō stretched out his hand to smooth his bangs and continued to ask, "You just said you rarely get hurt?"
"Yes, you know Senju Clan has great recovery ability."
"What's the most serious injury you've suffered since you became a ninja?" Nonō asked with interest.
"Well..." Nawaki held his chin seriously and thought for a while, and said quietly, "I remember it was at Land of Rain. It was raining heavily that night. Chen and I stayed at our posts together. Suddenly we discovered that he had a girlfriend holding an umbrella, but I didn't."
"..."
After a while, Nawaki's eyes condensed, and his whole temperament changed. He looked at Nonō seriously and said softly, "So... are you willing to hold the umbrella for me?"
The two stood at the edge of the camp Jikū. The sky was dim and stained with the red of morning glow. Farther away was the sea shrouded in thick fog, with a gentle breeze blowing their hair silently.
The picture is beautiful, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the timing is perfect.
Nawaki, who had been brewing his emotions for a long time, mustered up the courage to step forward, gently hugged Nonō's waist, and ran his fingers through his long golden hair.
The girl just trembled, but did not resist, but immediately closed her eyes, so Nawaki, who was very bold tonight, slowly lowered his head.
In such a comfortable atmosphere, kissing is very natural.
But, at this moment...
"Bang!"
About one kilometer away from the Konoha camp, in the direction of the coastline, a Kakkō shot into the sky, and then exploded violently.
Nawaki: "..."
Nonō: "..."
Swish, swish, swish!
At the same time as the explosion sounded, all the Konoha Ninja in the Konoha camp were snatched out from the camp or everywhere and gathered quickly.
Obviously, after successive wars, everyone's combat awareness has changed.
Seeing everyone walking out, Nonō's face became increasingly blushing, and she quickly pushed Nawaki away from her red lips, which was five centimeters away.
The girl lowered her head and said softly, "We'll talk about it when we come back if anything happens. I'll go to the hospital to take charge of the work first."
"Yeah." Nawaki nodded. After Nonō walked away, a burst of anger burst out. He gritted his teeth, became furious, and jumped up and down:
"These Mist Ninja, I'm going to kill you!"
At this time, Hiashi appeared next to Nawaki.
He glanced at the furious Nawaki and asked doubtfully, "Nawaki, what's wrong with you?"
This was the first time he had seen such a violent Nawaki, especially the slightly ferocious micro-expression on his face and the teeth that were about to be broken...
How much hatred and hatred is there?
"Nothing." Nawaki exhaled, calmed down, and then glanced at Konoha Ninja behind him who was gradually completing the gathering.
"Let's go!"
He shouted loudly, and these many Konoha Ninja followed him out of the camp.
"What's going on?"
Standing next to the camp, the already old Great Elder Uchiha Hikari asked.
"It seems... it should be Kirigakure who launched a surprise attack on us." Nara Shikakumo, currently the temporary commander, said.
"Surprise attack...Kirigakure Are you crazy?" Uchiha Hikari said in surprise.
If Kirigakure forces a landing and launches an attack without a foothold, the losses will be huge.
"Maybe he is really crazy." Shikaku was also a little puzzled, but after thinking for a moment, he continued, "We can't rule out that the other party sent part of its troops to bypass our defense line and want to attack us from behind."
There is a smooth road behind Konoha Base, and there are no traps such as Explosive Tag.
"Isn't this impossible? There are troops around, so many Sensor Ninja along the coast should have discovered it by now?" Uchiha Hikari said in surprise.
"Sensor Ninja Although there are many, the coastline is too long and there are some omissions.
However, I have sent Hizashi and Himeji with some ninjas to investigate behind. If there is a problem, the news should be transmitted soon. "
Uchiha Hikari nodded. It was obvious that in this moment, Rokuun had already allocated the tasks of each unit.
Nara Clan may not be strong, but his IQ is really high.
"Bang!" A red Signal Flare rose into the sky from a distance and then suddenly exploded.
Looking at Signal Flare, Rokuun's eyes flashed with solemnity. "It seems that my suspicion has been confirmed."
"Go ahead and tell First Platoon to gather at the designated location. Second Echelon will all be pressed in to support Hizashi."
"Yes!" A Jonin left in a hurry.
"Kirigakure should have received news of Chen and Hatake Sakumo's departure, and wants to launch an attack on us before they arrive." Uchiha Hikari said softly.
"Well, that should be the case." Rokuun nodded, "But I am more concerned about another thing, how our defense was leaked."
"Isn't this possible?"
"If there were no leaks, I really don't understand how the enemy could sneak up behind us without alerting the scouting ninja."
"So, I suspect that there are spies in our frontline headquarters, and they are not low-level."
Rokuun clasped his hands and said seriously.
