"War?"
As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Cross Country and Akai couldn't help but froze for a moment and took a breath of air at the same time.
During the previous month of training, although an ominous premonition had been hanging over Cross Country's head, he knew that the clouds of war were about to invade. However, when Cross Country confirmed the start of the war from Kakashi's mouth, Cross Country, who felt that he had been prepared for a long time, was still a little nervous.
Nervousness before battle!
As a newbie on the battlefield, Cross Country's nervousness was due to his nervousness before the battle, then Akai's nervousness was due to his concern for the battle situation in Konoha Village.
It's not like going off-road. He is completely an "outsider" and doesn't care about the war situation in Konoha Village.
As a "native", the honor of Konoha Village is simply equivalent to Akai's life, so when Kakashi said that the war was about to begin, Akai clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were very solemn. asked: "Kakashi, is the Iwa Ninja Village still unwilling to give up? Damn it, obviously they are going to sign a peace agreement, but those villains in the Iwa Ninja Village actually want to go back on it, right?" "Iwa Ninja Village?"
Listen
. After Akai's words, Cross Country slowly came back to his senses, and then frowned.
Because according to the course of the three battles in the original plot, after the battle of Kannakun, the battle between Konoha Village and Iwa Ninja Village was indeed over. It cannot be like what Akai said, it was another preparation for Iwa Ninja Village. It was the war with the Leaf Village that led to the current war.
And when Akai mentioned the Iwa Ninja Village, as expected, a trace of sadness appeared in Kakashi's pupils, as if he was mourning the "dead in battle" Uchiha Obito.
Then, without answering Cross Country, Akai's words, and completely immersed in his own sadness, Kakashi sighed deeply, and then replied: "Xiao Cross, Akai, the war is not something we little people can decide. So just follow me to gather."
"The vanguard led by the Fourth Hokage is ready to go." "
Akai, as a member of the escort of the Fourth Hokage, you must go to the Fourth Hokage quickly. We've gathered there, adults."
"As for Cross Country."
After saying that, Kakashi looked at Cross Country apologetically and continued: "Cross Country, I have an important task to perform before the war starts, because you don't have the ability to lead the team alone. , so the Fourth Hokage temporarily transfers you to the escort team, and quickly follow Akai to gather!" "
Cross-country, remember to clearly define your position on the battlefield."
"The battlefield is not a child's play. , it really kills people!"
"Yeah!"
Although it is not clear what the secret mission Kakashi is going to perform, Kakashi's ability to say those words to Cross Country will inevitably make Cross Country have doubts about Kakashi. Somewhat favorable.
That's right.
From the moment he met Kakashi, Cross Country didn't have a good impression of Kakashi.
Selfish, proud, and careless.
Every personality Kakashi shows is not the kind of person who is easy to get in touch with. In addition, the setting of the plot is different from that of the original work. It is inevitable that Cross Country has some strange thoughts in his heart.
However, Kakashi's indifferent but enthusiastic instructions to Cross Country at this time finally made him understand that Kakashi was not as difficult to contact as it seemed. However, at this stage, Kakashi is still covering his heart with coldness and using exclusive methods to cover up the pain in his heart.
Then, follow Kakashi's instructions and go to a secret meeting place.
Among the gathering points, the one wearing the ANBU mask was the most eye-catching one.
Because there, except for Akai, who is more familiar with cross-country, and the same, Iwashi, and Shiranui Genma, who are relatively young ninjas, the rest of the ninjas are at least twenty years old, which shows that they have been for a long time. People who have been on the battlefield. As a ninja who is smaller than Akai and others, Cross Country must be the target of everyone's attention.
However, while wearing a mask, even if Cross Country is young, he still has the identity of Anbu. Those experienced ninjas will definitely not be able to talk to Cross Country. As for Cross Country, who was about to board the battlefield, under the curious eyes of everyone, he was also silently sensing the strength differentiation of the people around him.
But who could have imagined that without giving Cross Country any time to get acquainted with his companions, a familiar voice echoed at the front of the team.
That familiar voice suddenly came from the cross-country uncle!
Nara Shikaku!
"It turns out that Uncle Lujiu is our commander!"
"I guess after entering the battlefield, I can still have some benefits!" I was
silently glad that I entered the battlefield under the command of an acquaintance, but it was a pity that I stopped laughing soon after crossing the road.
As for the reason!
It's very simple, it's because Nara Shikaku is the commander of the cross-country!
With a protective mentality, Shikaku is the kind of person who would rather die than let Cross Country go to the battlefield in person.
Although Lu Jiu also knows that entering the battlefield to practice is likely to make the cross-country grow faster. But as Kakashi said, the battlefield is not a place for children to play, but a place where people may die. Therefore, even if it is to avoid the one-in-a-thousand chance, Shikaku would rather go off-road and hide in the majority forever.
In this way, the next few days of cross-country were spent in boredom.
He is obviously a member of the Fourth Hokage's escort team and has the identity of an Anbu. At least he has to watch the battle from the commander's position and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, right?
But under Shikaku's arrangement, Cross Country actually became a logistics worker!
In addition to following the daily escort of supplies by Die Iwahi, he often went off-road and mixed with some medical ninjas. On the surface, it was to protect the medical ninjas and the safety of Konoha Village's injuries. In fact, even those medical ninjas knew that Cross Country simply came here to "take refuge", which led to Cross Country quickly becoming a part of the medical force.
"Ying, this medicine is sent to Medical Camp No. 3!"
"Ying, help me quickly and carry the wounded in!"
"Ying, don't stay there in a daze, help me prepare the medicine together!"
Everyone in the medical team For one day, as an Anbu, Cross Country well interpreted his status as a "temporary worker", even working as a handyman in the medical unit.
If anyone is in trouble, the first thing that comes to mind is cross-country riding at a young age but rarely making mistakes.
Over time, cross-country became more and more popular among the medical troops, and the medical troops became indispensable without the busy figure of cross-country. If Cross Country is absent for a day, even the medical ninjas will feel strange, and the injured Konoha soldiers will have one less object to ridicule. In short, their happiness is based on Cross Country.
To put it simply, cross-country's life in the medical unit consists of practicing and doing odd jobs.
Needless to say, in terms of training, with the shadow clone training method, Cross Country has become more proficient in mastering the secret skills of the Fourth Hokage. Even when Cross Country was "doing odd jobs" in the medical unit, Cross Country, who obviously only knew some pharmacology, turned into a half-medical ninja, able to provide emergency treatment to some wounded soldiers.
But just as I was following the medical team cross-country, and having been on the field for more than ten days as a rookie, an accident suddenly happened!
And precisely because of that accident, Shikaku's plan completely failed, causing Cross Country who was following the medical team to move forward, and fell into a dilemma of life and death!
That surprise came from the enemy ninja's surprise plan!
