Two Choices for You

"The timing is just right, I've already learned that ninjutsu," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Learned an A-rank ninjutsu in three days?" Uzuki Cangwu was stunned, then heartily slapped Qin Feng's shoulder and said, "You good kid, still joking at a time like this."

"But it's good this way, it's eased the atmosphere a bit. Thirty minutes ago, according to the scout's report, the main force of the Cloud Ninja appeared five kilometers away. You give the order."

Qin Feng didn't explain the doubt, frowned, and said, "Thirty minutes ago?"

"Didn't I stipulate that intelligence updates during wartime are every fifteen minutes?"

Uzuki Cangwu's expression changed drastically.

Due to the integration of their team and the oppressive atmosphere of facing death, they had completely overlooked this.

"Uzuki, something bad has happened. Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune are missing," a subordinate ninja on guard rushed over.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's nerves tensed up.

These two incidents seemed unrelated.

If one thought about it deeply, their scouts would be eliminated silently, without even time to issue a warning.

Were they related to these two?

"Everyone retreat back into the cave!" Qin Yu roared urgently.

Everyone present changed their expressions.

"Haha, only reacting now. I thought Konoha sent someone formidable to resist our Cloud Ninja attack, but it turns out to be a greenhorn."

Hearty laughter echoed without warning.

Figures emerged from all directions, numbering over a hundred.

Leading them, on a small mountain hundreds of meters away, was the AB Duo, feared by all nations.

"This is bad, we're surrounded," Inubou's face turned pale.

Looking at the Cloud Ninja blocking their path, anyone who wasn't an idiot knew this was a trap.

"A hundred people, plus the AB Duo, and we've fallen into an ambush. We're doomed."

"Senior Uzuki, what do we do?"

"It must be Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune, otherwise our defensive deployment and scouts wouldn't have been discovered."

The scene descended into chaos. Facing over a hundred people led by A, who was known as the next Raikage of Kumogakure, and Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

This was undoubtedly a disaster.

"Calm down," Uzuki Cangwu's face was also ashen. When he looked at Qin Yu, he couldn't help but be stunned.

His face was so calm, as if he hadn't taken any of this to heart.

Was he scared silly?

"Haha, your panic truly makes me happy," A laughed wantonly and said, "I really want to know what your next plan is, will you surrender obediently, or will I have to kill you myself?"

"Kill, kill!"

"Surrender, or die!"

The shouts of over a hundred people made the nerves of all Konoha ninjas tense to the extreme, their panic unable to be concealed.

The Cloud Ninja before them had truly mastered the art of seizing the initiative.

"Qin Yu!" Shizune's small face also turned pale, and she couldn't help but look at Uchiha Qin Yu.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Qin Feng rubbed Shizune's head and said, "Senior Uzuki, you take them and retreat to the cave, hide within the barrier. Leave the rest to me."

Qin Yu had anticipated all of this.

After all, in the original work, Root would resort to any means to achieve their goals.

Now that Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune had been stripped of their authority by Qin Feng, they had even abandoned their teammates and important strategic positions.

If Qin Yu and the others were allowed to return alive, it would likely have a negative impact on Root.

Therefore, the only way was to strike first and use others as a knife.

However, this was exactly what Qin Yu wanted. The next time they met, he could attack Root without any scruples.

It provided a legitimate excuse.

"Qin Yu, you alone?"

"Are you crazy? We won't stand by and watch you go to your death alone."

Uzuki Cangwu's expression changed. He never expected Qin Yu to give such an answer.

Although they were facing over a hundred Cloud Ninja and the feared AB Duo, they couldn't let Qin Yu confront them alone.

"Qin Yu, don't blame yourself too much. We'll face it together, and there will always be a way," Shizune urged anxiously.

"Qin Yu, you really don't need to worry. We chose to stay voluntarily."

"That's right, we are Konoha ninjas, we've long since put life and death aside."

In the eyes of many, Qin Yu's actions were due to him feeling responsible for forcing the entire team to stay.

"Throwing my life away?" Qin Yu chuckled and shook his head. "Rest assured, I'm not foolish enough to go to my death."

"Stay within the barrier; I'm only concerned that I'll have to step in to save you all later."

"I am the captain you elected, and this is an order."

His voice was not loud, yet at this moment, it was filled with an unquestionable authority.

"Senior Uzuki Cangwu, what should we do?" Shizune asked, growing anxious.

Uzuki Cangwu's expression shifted repeatedly. He looked at Qin Yu's calm face, gritted his teeth, and said, "Everyone, retreat into the Cave. Be ready to provide support to Qin Yu at any moment. Don't forget, his strength is even greater than mine."

As soon as these words were spoken, both the Konoha ninjas and the Kumogakure ninjas were stunned.

However, once they recalled how Qin Yu had instantly defeated both Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune with nothing but genjutsu, they felt a sense of trepidation, yet they still braced themselves and retreated.

They secretly vowed that if anything went wrong, they would strike with lightning speed to rescue him.

Watching the Konoha ninjas retreat into the Cave in an orderly fashion, a Kumogakure squad leader couldn't help but ask, "Lord A, should we stop them? If they enter the barrier, it might be disadvantageous for us."

"Hmph, disadvantageous? What is there to fear from a mere Ragtag Army? I thought the Uchiha Clan would have sent Body Flicker Shisui, but I didn't expect it to be some unknown nobody," A snorted in disdain. "According to the intelligence, this Greenhorn is nothing more than a chunin."

"These Konoha ninjas are actually taking orders from a chunin. They must be either idiots or desperate."

Upon hearing this, the squad leader quickly flattered him, "Lord A is absolutely right; these people are already in our grasp."

"Once we break through this pass, the vast Land of Fire will belong to our Land of Lightning."

The Kumogakure ninjas on the field all revealed expressions of joy.

Konoha opening three major battlefields simultaneously without being able to secure a victory had indeed made Kumogakure feel threatened.

Being the straw that broke the camel's back was certainly cause for celebration.

"Are you finished?" Qin Yu suddenly spoke up.

"I'll give you two choices now."

"First, get lost immediately."

"Second, I kill every one of you."
