Hanfu brought Itachi Uchiha to Aburame Shikuroo. After saying goodbye, they set off for the Fire Borderline near Yugakure.

The two crossed a small hill and saw a vast green grassland stretching out before them, with rolling forests in the distance.

The border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire ran right through the middle of the grassland.

After all these years, the grassland was still as green as ever!

Hanfu sighed to himself.

Years ago, when Hanfu had still been on a mission with Team Two, he had gone with the team to Yugakure to deliver a letter. On the way back, Cloud Ninja had chased them all the way here. In the end, he had only escaped safely thanks to the Konoha Ninja stationed at the border, who came to his rescue.

Hanfu couldn't be sure whether the border ninja who had saved him back then were still stationed there, because... he hadn't remembered their names or faces.

Hanfu lowered his head shyly. The breeze brushed past him, and he looked as bashful as a water lily unable to withstand the wind.

"Captain?" Seeing Hanfu stop, Itachi Uchiha looked at him in confusion.

"Ahem, let's go." Hanfu straightened his expression, then blurred into a streak and dashed toward the grassland.

Itachi Uchiha quickly followed. They raced across the grassland, one behind the other, like two white waves breaking through a green sea, and sped across the border.

"Captain, there's an ambush ahead!" Itachi Uchiha suddenly warned him.

"Ahead... under your feet, Captain! Watch out!"

While they'd been talking, they had advanced another mile and entered the Cloud Ninja's ambush.

Boom!

Thunder exploded. Countless azure bolts of lightning burst from underground
