"To be honest, I kind of like this kind of weather," Hanyu murmured to himself.
There were drizzles of rain falling from the sky, mixed with occasional snowflakes. Spring had actually arrived, but the chill in the air still lingered.
The low temperature is shocking, but Hanyu's mood has nothing to do with the spiritual benefits brought by the rain or his own mental state. He just simply likes the current weather... Rain, this is the name given to him, representing his life.
"Really? But in this kind of weather, some ninjas can't even warm their hands." Hanyu's companion, Renjuro said.
Now Hanyu and his team are guarding the edge of a forest, but their whereabouts are not secret, because a large number of Konoha ninjas are gathering here in a very dense manner.
Looking forward through the wet leaves in the forest, you can see the Sand Village Group confronting the Konoha Ninja as far as the eye can see.
"When will the battle begin? What's the point of wasting time like this?"
"Who knows? Maybe they are both waiting for the other to relax or reveal a flaw... Everyone is in the same mood. Such a confrontation will seriously consume each other's patience. Therefore, the more impatient you are, the more you should not be impatient." Hanyu stared closely at the situation in front of him. Due to the tense atmosphere of war, he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke.
"Captain, are you looking forward to the upcoming battle?"
Hanyu was stunned for a moment. He didn't realize that his emotions had already been revealed. "Is that so... maybe a little. I just want to try out the new technique I learned."
"The battle is about to begin. It is conceivable that once we engage the enemy, it will definitely cause a certain amount of chaos, and Konoha's formation will be distorted, but there is one thing we must pay attention to, that is, the team's actions must be consistent. Once we can't even maintain the team formation, it means that we can't conduct systematic combat, and further speaking, it means defeat and death - in a nutshell, no matter how bloody or exciting the scene is, tension is allowed, but you must not be too excited, you must not have your blood boiling, and you must not rush into the enemy's formation without caring about your life... It is not advisable to be afraid of the enemy and not move forward, and it is equally undesirable to be extremely radical." Perhaps the battle will begin in the next moment, so Hanyu had to explain these words quickly. Although he had said it once before, some things still needed to be emphasized .
They might follow the Hokage into the enemy camp in a moment, but such a charge did not mean that the team would be separated from the Konoha main force.
Hanyu looked over his formation, and it looked like a group of middle school students gathering for calisthenics, as if this was a playground instead of a battlefield. However, he also understood that once the battle began, it would be impossible and unnecessary to maintain such a formation.
"When will the battle begin? Dilly-dallying?"
A somewhat anxious voice was heard nearby, which meant the patience of the owner of the voice had been exhausted... This sentence did not come from a member of the Hanyu team, but from an unknown ninja nearby.
Hanyu glanced at the other party. Can we expect this ninja, who was seriously disturbed by the atmosphere before the war and couldn't even bear the calm before the storm, to make any achievements on the battlefield?
If nothing unexpected happens, Sakumo should be in Konoha's main force at this time. However, Hanyu no longer knows how Konoha's troops are divided and deployed. He only knows what kind of orders he should obey and what instructions he should follow.
The clear cries of hawks came from the sky above his head. Hanyu looked up and saw three birds of prey circling for a while, then diving into the woods where Konoha's military forces were hidden. Then, both the earth and the sky were instantly silent.
Hanyu suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, but then it returned to its original rhythm, beating powerfully in his chest at a speed slightly faster than usual.
"It's about to begin."
Hanyu's intuition told him that the war was about to begin.
Puffing sounds continued to reach Hanyu's ears, and smoke bombs exploded from the woods. Almost at the same time, a large amount of white smoke hid all the Konoha ninjas.
Then, a sharp whistle sounded in Hanyu's ears.
The eyes of the three team members were instantly fixed on Hanyu. They were obviously stunned for a moment. The order to attack was so clear, but when it reached their ears, they still hesitated.
But what can they say now? They have to follow the orders they received beforehand.
"rush!"
Short bytes came out of Hanyu's mouth, and violent chakra burst out from under his feet instantly. The fresh and vibrant woody tissue of the tree where he stood suddenly blossomed, revealing the innermost annual ring texture abruptly. However, who would care about these at this time?
In just a blink of an eye, the potential energy stored in the ninja's body was converted into cinetic energy, and Hanyu was catapulted out at an initial velocity that was difficult to describe.
However, his speed was not the fastest. The first ones to rush out from the smoke of the forest were spiritual beasts of various species, some large and some small, but all with ferocious looks.
The ground began to shake violently. They were all the same war machines.
Outside the woods is a flat plain. Since they have chosen this all-out combat method, there is little point in playing tricks on the terrain or other aspects. Therefore, after Konoha chose such a combat zone, Sunagakure was happy to accept it.
The white smoke only blocked Hanyu's vision for a moment, and then his figure rushed out from the woods. This Konoha brigade that emerged first was indeed, as he had expected, a direct unit of the Hokage.
At the front of the direct troops, closest to the enemy, are speed-type ninjas like Hanyu.
They rushed out of the smoke at a very high speed, their rapidly running figures pulled out long smoke lines, and their bodies stretched out the rain curtain that turned from slow to fast. By the time the enemy could see everything around them clearly, the Konoha ninjas had already crossed half the distance.
Hanyu looked around. His team was following behind him, and on both sides of him were Konoha ninjas from different teams. Then, he looked diagonally in front of his right hand, and at a distance of about fifty meters, he saw the figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
That's where he's supposed to be, so of course he's going to be there.
Only when the Hokage is in front will the Hanyu team charge with him and be responsible for guarding his flanks.
There are countless ninjas around here like this.
Even at the risk of one's life.
