Konoha In mid-October 48, the "hide and seek" mission on the Land of Hot Water frontline was coming to an end, and Hyuga Clan ninjas played a huge role during this period.
Land of Frost has become an "accomplice" in the war since he turned to Kumogakure. After Konoha tried to negotiate peace to no avail, he never took action against Small Nations.
The battle line is too long, coupled with Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's relatively conservative strategy, there has been no problem with Kumogakure's supply line.
Land of Rain After the pressure on the battlefield dropped sharply, Konoha High Command finally mobilized again at the end of the year.
The front line is entrusted to extremely fast ninjas like Minato Namikaze, and the task of destroying the supply line and breaking into Land of Frost is assisted by members of Anbu.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, at the border between Land of Frost and Land of Hot Water, the lurking Konoha Ninja is waiting for the arrival of the target.
A short Anbu member suddenly appeared in the dense forest, came to Shu Furukawa silently, then leaned over and whispered:
"Master Xiu, Yugakure ninjas have appeared."
The presence of Land of Hot Water's armed forces is extremely low. Due to its geographical location close to Konoha, it has always advocated peace.
Shu Furukawa did not expect that the ninjas in this village would take the initiative to participate in the war. According to previous information, only Land of Frost ninjas participated in the supply.
Although Inuzuka Ago and Akimichi Doto are both Jonin, the strongest one in this operation is Shu Furukawa.
The mission may encounter a surprise attack by Kumogakure ninjas at any time, or even Jinchuriki. The two of them basically do not express opinions on key decisions and insist on the principle that the team has only one leader.
"Kill them all quickly."
Shu Furukawa gave the instructions with an expressionless face, Anbu Ninja bowed slightly and left immediately.
Below the cliff, the Land of Frost ninja and the Land of Hot Water ninja were exchanging scrolls. The voice of Shu Furukawa appeared in Konoha Ninja's mind. As soon as he said "action", an explosion sounded.
"It's Konoha's ninja!"
Land of Hot Water Ninja may have not fought for too long. Kakkō saw Konoha Forehead Protector through the explosion and was so frightened that he screamed. Some young people saw their companions falling one after another and shouted in fear:
"We are not involved in Kumogakure's actions..."
Konoha Ninja No one uses Talk no Jutsu. There are only sparks from the collision of Shuriken and Kunai in the valley. The strength gap is too big. Small Nations ninja can't even muster the courage to fight back.
Land of Frost ninjas seemed to have more backbone. Dozens of ninjas who did not escape roared and charged, but before they could adjust their formation, blood shot out from the center of the team.
"Fang Over Fang!"
Inuzuka Ago and Big Gouzi cut the battlefield from the side. Amidst the screams, the Land of Frost ninja who had just summoned up his courage hurriedly fled towards the cliff.
Suddenly rubble splattered from above, and Akimichi Doto waved the iron rod to knock away the enemies who were about to reach the top. When seeing this scene, all the Small Nations ninjas in the valley were in despair.
Shu Furukawa was just perceiving the entire battlefield quietly on the cliff. He could clearly perceive the strength of the enemy Chakra. This kind of battle was not difficult for several elite teams of Konoha.
A Land of Frost ninja suddenly used Lightning Release Ninjutsu, injured a Konoha Ninja and then turned around and ran away.
When Hideichi Hyuga saw this situation with Byakugan, he was about to pursue it. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air in his ears, and a huge Shuriken with the wind attribute Chakra instantly flew towards the fleeing ninja.
"Whoops!"
"Uh-huh!"
Land of Frost Ninja had no time to react. He screamed and broke into two pieces after being chopped in half, with blood splattering in the air.
The huge Shuriken killed the enemy and hit the rock wall with a loud noise. Hideichi Hyuga used Byakugan to see Shu Furukawa put away its throwing posture, and secretly took a breath:
"What kind of power is this?!"
In less than 10 minutes, only Konoha Ninja and Shu Furukawa were left in the valley. After briefly treating the wounded, the four teams accelerated to leave. They will continue to sweep the Land of Frost supply line.

On the front lines of Land of Fire and Land of Hot Water, the raiding Kumogakure team felt something was wrong a week ago. Even if they retreated to the rear of Land of Hot Water, their supplies were getting less and less.
What makes everyone feel even more helpless is the efficient killing of Minato Namikaze.
With the existence of Byakugan ninjas, many traps are useless. Coupled with Minato Namikaze's wide range of perception, more than half of the Kumogakure team on the front line suffered casualties in half a month.
If it weren't for the outstanding strength of Jonin Ai and Killer B, Konoha's counterattack would most likely wipe out all Kumogakure ninjas.
When he heard the news that he was going to return to Land of Frost early in the morning, the grumpy Ai almost made his hair stand on end with anger. He looked at his companions and roared angrily:
"You want me to choose to run away?"
Dual-front operations have always been questioned in the village. Kumogakure ninja knew Ai's character and responded calmly without explaining too much:
"Master Ai, we can't let any accident happen to Bi. We must return to Land of Frost first. Currently, the supply of Yugakure has been cut off."
Jinchuriki is a valuable asset of the village. Kumogakure needs to replace the "container" every few years. This time Killer B is surprisingly suitable. For safety reasons, he should stay in the village.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Killer B, who was carrying a short knife, pulled Ai and comforted him in his funny tone:
"Brother Idiot, how can we fight without supplies?"
"That yellow-haired bastard can only run around. Next time I come to destroy his mark, big brother can easily deal with him."
Killer B started humming again as he talked, and cursed Minato Namikaze. For a moment, all the Kumogakure ninjas present felt a little big-headed. This rap was really unpleasant.
The corners of Ai's eyes twitched. He never wanted to admit that he was at a disadvantage without the help of his brothers. He noticed that the remaining two team members looked exhausted, and he was silent for a moment and warned:
"I'll cut it off! You and I will return to Land of Frost as soon as possible."
"If you encounter Konoha Ninja, don't be impulsive and retreat to the border stronghold as soon as possible."
"Damn Sunagakure, he was so frightened by Konoha Ninja that he shrank back into the village..."
Kumogakure Ninja really did not expect that after a conflict, Sunagakure retreated for three months. If Konoha had acted boldly, their team might have been attacked long ago.
"Master Ai, let's break up the queen, and you will be responsible for protecting Killer B."
"Asshole, are you looking down on me?"
Killer B started a new round of RAP. Ai shook his head helplessly and did not accept the suggestion:
"You can't stop him, take Bi and leave, do it immediately!"
Kumogakure Everyone bowed their heads in shame. In a battle that was far beyond that of ordinary ninjas, they could not help at all.
Killer B was not willful. He knew his importance. Before evacuating, he fist bumped with Ai and warned him in a strange voice:
"Brother, don't make me wait too long!"
