Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"Sharingan!"

After opening his black-and-red eyes, Uchiha Hagetsu saw that the sea in front of him was protected by a basic sensory barrier set up by the Hidden Mist Village: anyone who used chakra to stand on the sea or swim forward would be detected by the enemy.

Pale blue, irregular light covered the sea surface ahead. Uchiha Hagetsuki said in a low voice:

"Those who are good at swimming, follow me forward. Do not use chakra to accelerate; just dive in normally."

"The rest of you, wait for our signal!"

Everyone nodded slightly. There were eighteen ninjas who were good at swimming, and everyone began to swim forward with Uchiha Hagetsuki.

Time passed by, and soon the group dispersed, following Uchiha Hagetsuki as they gradually approached Konoha's former No. 1 outpost.

At this moment, the Chunin from Kirigakure at Garrison Point 1 were already dozing off, preparing to conserve their energy for dealing with the Uzumaki Ninja the next day.

Just as they were about to reach the outpost's line of sight, Uchiha Hagetsuki stopped and whispered to the people behind him again, "Now hold your breath and swim forward. If you sense anything amiss, immediately unleash your chakra or fire a signal flare. Understand?"

The group nodded again without making a sound, like a solemn army preparing for a secret assassination plot against the Hidden Mist Ninja.

However, just as everyone was getting ready, the barrier ninja inside the No. 1 outpost suddenly opened his eyes:

"Enemy attack!!!"

Wuwuwu——

The alarm devices placed by Kirigakure immediately went off, waking all the Kirigakure ninja who were still resting. They all rushed to the barrier team's location to inquire about the situation.

The Chunin from Kirigakure had his eyes closed, and in front of him was a ball-shaped mass of blue chakra. At that moment, a ripple appeared in the southwest direction of the sphere.

"The intruder came from the direction of the Land of Whirlpools! This chakra is very strong! He's at least a Jonin!!"

.......

the other side.

After changing into a surgeon's outfit, Shirahoshi had just stepped into the seawater using chakra. At Outpost No. 1, which was still a few kilometers away, the alarm blared, leaving Shirahoshi speechless.

"..."

You think you can bully me because I don't know how to create barriers?

"As expected, without information, I'll become like Jiraiya."

Bai Xing pouted and continued forward, thinking to herself, "Since I've already been discovered, so be it."

At the very least, keeping these people awake will make the departure of 'Noah's Ark' tomorrow go more smoothly.

Uchiha Hagetsuki, who came from the east, and the group behind him were all dumbfounded.

Soon, all eighteen people turned their gazes to Uchiha Hagetsu in front of them, making the black-haired youth feel uneasy.

"No."

"Is this barrier that advanced? It detected me as soon as I came in to say a word?!"

"Could it be that the other side has already stolen the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan?!"

Uchiha Hagetsuki naturally couldn't admit his mistake, so he decisively shifted the blame to the Uzumaki ninja. The Konoha ninjas behind him nodded in agreement, thinking to themselves that even the village's barrier wasn't this advanced. It was simply outrageous that a mere temporary outpost could be so easily discovered!

Just as Uchiha Hagetsuki was still hesitating about whether to move forward, the commotion ahead prompted him to give a hand signal, which immediately caused all the members to lower their heads, leaving only their eyes visible as they observed what was ahead.

"hurry up!"

"They've already broken in! And they're moving very fast, they're about to..."

On the sea, Bai Xing stepped onto the water, using the force to rise into the air. Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals in an instant. A small flame condensed in front of her mouth. After gathering her strength for a moment, she headed towards the outpost ahead.

During the observation of the three disciples' training, in addition to successfully copying Nonou's D-rank Earth Release technique, he also copied Mikoto's "Great Fireball Technique." Furthermore, Shirahoshi's Fire Release chakra nature was well-developed, and she had already researched a B-rank Fire Release technique, even more powerful than the C-rank Great Fireball Technique, which Sasuke had previously used.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Behind them, the forty-seven people who were chatting quietly while their captain was away were practically ready to play cards. But then they vaguely heard a name of a move coming from the sky, and many of them looked up and froze in place.

—Wait, what? Wasn't it agreed that we'd fire a signal flare first if we were spotted?! Why did we start fighting right away?!

About five kilometers away, in the sky above the dark sea, one after another, bursts of intense red light appeared.

The Uchiha Chunin subconsciously activated his Sharingan, increasing his line of sight.

"Amazing! That person actually incorporated the Fire Release chakra nature transformation into the Great Fireball Technique. Do we Uchiha ninjas have anyone like that?!"

"No way! I want to see too."

"Add me one!"

In an instant, all four ninjas with Sharingan in the arena activated their Sharingan, and even a Jonin from the Byakugan branch family activated his Byakugan to observe who the other party was.

"That person doesn't seem to have Sharingan chakra."

"What?!" x8

The Uchiha ninjas exclaimed in surprise, and the other ninjas followed suit, one after another expressing their astonishment.

"However, now is not the time to focus on that. That person in front has already started fighting with the Hidden Mist ninja."

"No matter what, they should be on Konoha's side!"

"Go ahead and inform Captain Yu Yue!"

"Yeah!"xN

......

The lifelike fire dragon didn't stop after releasing one shot; instead, it fired three more in quick succession: the range of the four shots was enough to cover the entire outpost area for a comprehensive attack.

At this moment, the Mist Shadow faction looked up at the sky and seemed to see four dazzling suns approaching.

"The scope of the technique is very broad."

"Don't panic! The rest of you use Water Release to defend!!!"

Several Chunin from Kirigakure ahead nodded slightly, their hands forming hand seals with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, they completed the Water Release defensive technique, unleashing wave after wave of flowing water barriers at the fire dragon descending from the side.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!!!"

The first fire dragon touched the wall of water and quickly evaporated into high-temperature steam, disappearing without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth waves followed one after another. Several Chunin from Kirigakure couldn't withstand the chakra, so another squad of ninja used Water Release to take over: a squad of about 4-8 people.

In normal times, a squad typically consists of 4 people, while on the front lines, it usually consists of 8 people.

The four who had just retreated were replaced by four Hidden Mist ninjas who immediately spat out jets of water, shooting forward to reinforce the defensive strength of the water barrier.

In an instant, the four enormous, blinding fire dragons completely turned into a white, high-temperature mist.

Hozuki Suikyo said again, "Barrier Class, Sensory Class, Assassination Class, go!"

"Yes!" x12

"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!" x8

Four of them exhaled more water-style white mist, spreading it outwards to fill the environment with a trace of water-style chakra. Meanwhile, the other four assassination squads, led by a special jonin, used almost identical chakra to seemingly merge into the water mist and disappear from sight.

Immediately afterwards, the four members of the sensory class condensed a ball of blue chakra in the center:

"Ninja Art: Misty Eye Technique!" x4

Now, as soon as any ninja other than those from Kirigakure enters the range of the Kirigakure technique, the barrier team will detect it immediately.

The four ninjas of the barrier team closed their eyes and began to sense the water mist as it spread outwards.

After a short while, one of the young men who was the leader of the barrier class spoke up:

"Saw."

"The intruders are on the sea at the seven o'clock position!!"

"And what's more, a team from Konoha has appeared!!!"

"In the east!!!"

"Number of people..."

"No fewer than ten... no! Fifteen people!"

"There are at least twenty people in the eastern direction, two of whom are Jonin-level!"

Chapter 68 I am a Konoha genin, send me!

The moment the fog rose, Uchiha Hagetsuki knew their operation couldn't stop. So, as soon as the high-temperature steam that could block their vision appeared, he immediately fired a signal flare and ordered the rest of them to circle around to another direction of Kirigakure to prevent the enemy from escaping by boat or across the sea to land in neighboring countries: the Land of Iron and the Land of Hot Water.

"hurry up!"

"Captain!" A Konoha ninja with sensory abilities approached. "The Hidden Mist ninja used the Hidden Mist Technique! It's interfering with my senses, preventing me from probing further. I can only rely on Chi-ya's Byakugan!"

Uchiha Hagetsu frowned, glancing at Hyuga Tomoya who was approaching from behind. She saw a smug glint in the Byakugan-wielding man's eyes, and ignoring Hagetsu's dark expression, he gave a slight nod to the sensory ninja.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"White Eye - Open!"

In an instant, in Hyuga Tomoya's sight, the Kirigakure ninjas began burning intelligence and supplies, and destroying makeshift buildings and equipment.

Meanwhile, in another direction, the assassination squad of Kirigakure has already begun to make contact with the young man with the Japanese ponytail who releases fire jutsu—but unfortunately, to see through the mask, they must carefully control their Byakugan under normal circumstances.

Now that the war has begun, coupled with the interference of the Water Release: White Mist, Hyuga Tomoya is unable to concentrate on controlling his Byakugan, so he cannot see the young man's face under the mask. He can only see through the chakra channels and other things in Shirahoshi's body.

However, even if you saw it, it wouldn't be Shirahoshi's face, but rather the face of a young man who looked rather mature, lazy, and about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

After dodging a sudden slash from a Hidden Mist ninja, Shirahoshi retaliated with a kick, striking the ninja squarely in the waist, leaving a visible dent in the flesh.

If he were truly a Hidden Mist ninja, this kick would be enough to incapacitate him.

Immediately afterwards, Shirahoshi jumped backward, and a moment later, iron projectiles shot out from two directions above the sea where he had just stood: four shurikens and seven or eight iron shojin.

The Hidden Mist ninja who had just been kicked in the waist by Shirahoshi transformed into a body shape made of flowing water with a dent in its waist, and then slowly fell down and merged into the sea.

"so troublesome."

"You bunch of treacherous Hidden Mist ninjas, if any Jonin were to enter your territory..."

"At the very least, they should be seriously injured or killed."

A moment after the sound was heard, Shirahoshi gripped a kunai tightly, turned her head and collided with a ninja sword: this time it was the real Shirahoshi.

laugh!
