Peerless Squad Established

The spring breeze, a slight chill gradually growing colder. The azure sky, cloudless for ten thousand miles.

On the boundless wilderness, specks of green began to appear, and large forests started to bud and leaf.

All things began to revive, full of life.

Time flowed by slowly like this, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

"My name is Shin'nosuke Sarutobi. I specialize in the four elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. My Taijutsu and Genjutsu are passable. I like to eat curry and dislike fish and cilantro. Please take care of me from now on."

After speaking, he foolishly touched his head with his hand and let out an awkward laugh.

This man was the eldest son of the Third Hokage, the Jonin leading Shimura Bing San's squad, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi.

"Hyuga Go, Chunin. Specializes in Taijutsu and reconnaissance. Possesses the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai. That's all."

Hyuga Go wore a green Chunin vest. His previously medium-length hair had been cut into a buzz cut. A deep scar ran along his forehead next to his forehead protector, with a faint green sealing jutsu pattern on it.

After speaking, Hyuga Go stood quietly, completely lacking the liveliness he had in school.

Shin'nosuke Sarutobi looked at the other two, feeling a terrible headache. Truly, even if his father were to lead this squad, he would definitely feel a headache.

The other girl said listlessly, "Uchiha Yue. Specializes in Genjutsu, Fire Release, and Medical Ninjutsu. One-Tomoe Sharingan." She then yawned listlessly and fell silent.

This girl was the one who had helped Bing San out of a tight spot the first time. Her brother, Uchiha Feng, was already a member of the Security Force.

Shin'nosuke Sarutobi looked at Bing San, who had a look of utter despair. Bing San sighed and shrugged helplessly, saying, "Shimura Bing San. You all know me. The target of the Land of Wind."

"Ah~, I guessed as much. We're all old acquaintances, so let's not do these ridiculous things, alright?" Uchiha Yue yawned again.

The whole story was like this: due to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's strategy, our "Peerless of the West, Shimura Bing San" gloriously graduated from the Ninja Academy ahead of schedule, without even needing exams.

To maximize the effectiveness of Bing San as a target, after the elders' "friendly negotiation" (Danzo: Damn monkey, wash inside, wash inside, wash inside... Jiraiya: Ahhhhhh ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜), Shimura Bing San not only became the Peerless of the West but also had a banner made for him. And it was publicized.

They originally wanted to make Bing San an honorary commander on the front lines, but considering that even Jiraiya had been hospitalized. He reluctantly became the "remote commander" of the front lines, serving as the great general in the rear.

Because of this, Bing San was brought to the third defense line, the Kikyo Mountain camp, and his banner was erected.

Finally, through the joint efforts of Danzo and Orochimaru, this "commander" was equipped with a six-person Anbu squad, a six-person Root squad, and a regular four-person squad for protection.

Furthermore, at Danzo's strong insistence, Bing San's leading Jonin became Shin'nosuke Sarutobi.

(Mainly, Danzo was preventing the war effort from failing, and the Third Hokage wanted to boost morale by sending Bing San to his death.)

As for the team members, they became Hyuga Go, who was the most skilled in reconnaissance among his former classmates, and Uchiha Yue, who specialized in Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu.

After speaking, Bing San felt despair. Putting aside everything else, just based on this squad's configuration, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi had received a bento box (died). The other two never even appeared in his memories.

Don't assume everyone named Hyuga is Hinata, or everyone named Uchiha is a Gundam. They are completely extras.

"Sigh." Bing San sighed and sat directly on the ground. Hyuga Go stood there rigidly, not moving or speaking, as if ignoring the three of them.

Shin'nosuke Sarutobi scratched his head and said, "Um, how about we go out for a good meal to celebrate the formation of our Sarutobi Squad?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it. Where could he find a good meal in a military camp?

Uchiha Yue wiped away a tear of saliva from yawning and said, "Such a tacky name, I don't want it. If there's nothing else, I'm going back to continue researching my Medical Ninjutsu."

Bing San also felt the name was too tacky and unpleasant, so he said, "How about calling it Squad Number X, or something? Yours is too tacky, I'm embarrassed to say it out loud."

Hyuga Go: (ー`ー)

In reality, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi was not only here to protect Bing San. He was also the true commander of the third defense line, responsible for transmitting information, distributing supplies, providing medical assistance, and mobile support to Orochimaru's forces on the first defense line and Danzo's forces on the second defense line.

The fighting had already begun. Orochimaru's forces were defending head-on against the surging Sand Ninja.

Danzo's forces on the second defense line had already been deployed to prevent Sand Ninja infiltration and sabotage. The great battle was raging fiercely.

Just then, the door was pushed open. Entering were the young versions of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza, along with their supervising teacher, Takechiyo Akimichi.

As soon as Shikaku, dressed as a Chunin, entered, he teased, "Why is our commander sitting on the ground throwing a tantrum?"

The other two also smiled kindly. Shikaku had been Bing San's classmate and deskmate in school.

Although Shikaku was a full five years older than Bing San, they got along very well. After all, Bing San had absorbed the memories of an adult.

Seeing the newcomers, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi found an excuse to extricate himself from the awkward situation. He quickly walked towards his savior, Takefū Akimichi, and enthusiastically called out, "Uncle Takefū, you're finally here."

Although Takefū Akimichi was burly, with small eyes and a flat nose, giving him a fierce appearance, he was actually quite kind.

He patted Shin'nosuke's shoulder and said, "Shin'nosuke, you've been waiting! We ran into some trouble on the way and got delayed. Here, this is a scroll from your father for Bing San, and from now on, we will be the squad protecting you."

With that, he tossed the thumb-sized scroll to Bing San.

While the two adults were talking, Bing San and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio went off chatting and laughing, completely ignoring the two adults.

Uchiha Yue waved her hand and turned to leave.

Hyuga Go: (¬_¬)

Unlike Bing San, who had given up all hope, Hyuga Go stood obediently, waiting for the captain's orders.

Uchiha Yue stopped abruptly as she reached the doorway and said, "Since we're all here temporarily to protect that troublesome guy, let's call ourselves the Peerless Squad. Peerless of the West, Shimura Bing San!"

"Speaking of which, I've always found your name uncomfortable for a long time, like it's a serial number. Did your elders have no talent for naming?"

After speaking, she turned and left, completely ignoring the reactions of the people inside.

Shikaku: "Ah, women are so troublesome."

Choza: Hmph hmph (sound of gnawing on a pig's trotter)

Inoichi: (¬_¬)

Hyuga Go: (¬_¬)

Shin'nosuke Sarutobi: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Take Akimichi: o(￣-￣)
