Chapter 103 - Konoha Spring (Part 1)

At this moment, on the coast of the border of the Land of Fire.

Kakashi's action of withdrawing two-thirds of the border troops this time could not be concealed from the Village Hidden in the Mist spies and White Zetsu on the border.

After the elders of Village Hidden in the Mist found out about this, they immediately proposed to the Mizukage the idea of ​​sending troops to test.

Obito Uchiha, who actually controls Village Hidden in the Mist village, manipulates Yagura to agree to this mission without thinking.

However, when the Village Hidden in the Mist ship arrived at the coast of the Land of Fire, a sword stuck in the coastline stopped them in their tracks.

Before setting off, Kakashi had inserted the Swift Thunder on the path that Village Hidden in the Mist must take to land and injected a certain amount of Chakra into it.

Now, looking at the Swift Thunder standing on the coast, which occasionally emits some arcs of electricity, none of the Kirigakure ninjas on the other side have the courage to step forward.

In Village Hidden in the Mist, there was an almost obsessive reverence for legendary swords. It can be said that the seven swords preserved in their village are the dreams of every Kirigakure child since childhood.

The seven swords are the symbol of Village Hidden in the Mist and their patron saint. However, on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War, there is another sword that Village Hidden in the Mist also remembers deeply. 

It is the one that is inserted on the coastline at this moment. It is called the bloodless blade in Village Hidden in the Mist, the Swift Thunder sword.

This sword and its owner can be said to be the nightmare that this generation of Kirigakure ninjas will never get rid of.

… … …

The Kirigakure troops that landed from another direction also encountered similar problems.

There was no Swift Thunder on the coast here, but there was a man on the cliff by the sea, doing push-ups upside down, following the rhythm of the waves hitting the cliff. The moonlight shone on this man, allowing every Kirigakure on the warship by the sea to see clearly how the man was dressed. 

He was wearing green tights and had a shiny melon-shaped head that shone brightly in the moonlight.

"Retreat." 

The Kirigakure commander in charge of this side took a deep breath and issued the order to retreat. 

He will always remember the tragic situation in which the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the trump card of the Kirigakure, went to the Land of Fire to invade during the Third Shinobi World War, but only three of them returned alive.

… … …

Hiruzen Sarutobi lit up a cigarette again and put the screen back to the intersection in front of the Konoha Military Police Force.

At this moment, Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha had already fought, while Kakashi was fighting the 15th generation of the Ino-Shika-Chou alone.

Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, both masters of Uchiha style swordsmanship, drew their swords at the first moment, and the two standard ninja swords collided and burst out a light sound of metal and iron clashing.

The three tomoe Sharingan in their scarlet eyes rotated wildly. The next moment, the ground under the two was burned with scorch marks, and then they retreated. 

The afterimages at the original place had not yet dissipated, but two violent fire dragons had already erupted from the ground and collided with each other.

The flames of the explosion dissipated, and Itachi Uchiha took advantage of the situation to throw a series of shurikens. 

However, after a series of metal clashing sounds, all of them fell to the ground. When Itachi Uchiha turned around again, there were already seven Shisui figures around him, and then the seven Shisui around him said at the same time: "Itachi, don't forget, you practiced shuriken techniques with me."

"Shisui! Why?" 

Itachi Uchiha asked while holding his sword horizontally in a defensive posture: "Why did you betray the Will of Fire?"

Shisui slashed at him, and Itachi Uchiha blocked with his sword horizontally. The two reflected each other's figures in their scarlet eyes.

"Itachi, whether it's the Third Hokage, the two advisors, or even Danzo, they can't represent the Will of Fire."

The Shisui in front of Itachi Uchiha disappeared in an instant, and another sword slashed at Itachi's back.

Itachi barely turned around to block the strike, but when he turned around, he saw more and more people gathering at this intersection. 

Among these people were his subordinates in the Anbu and some members of the Jonin squad. 

With their successive attacks, the few people brought by Itachi Uchiha were quickly captured and lost the ability to resist.

Now, on this battlefield, only he and Shisui, Kakashi, and the 15th generation of Ino-Shika-Cho were still fighting.

"And you can't represent the Will of Fire." 

Shisui Uchiha said while the remaining phantoms rushed forward in an instant.

Shisui Uchiha finally showed mercy when facing his younger brother. 

Although his offensive at this moment was fierce, it also avoided Itachi Uchiha's fatal vital points.

… … …

"Third Hokage-sama, it's almost time to sign. The fire of the village should not burn in such a meaningless place." 

Seeing that the battle in the crystal ball was almost coming to an end, whether it was Shisui Uchiha or Kakashi, it was only a matter of time before they defeated their respective opponents.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the picture in the crystal ball and realized that he was already doomed. 

Now, even if he desperately put all his cards on the table, Kakashi's border troops brought back from the border were enough to suppress the overall situation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and picked up the pen to sign his name on the document in front of him.

"That's right, Hokage-sama; after all, you can only talk about the Will of Fire when you win."

Kuragami Uchiha put the document away after the other party signed it without giving him time to add a date.

However, at this moment, the picture of the crystal ball suddenly changed.

In the center of the battlefield, a masked figure appeared out of nowhere, swinging a scythe connected by a chain, forcing back all of Shisui Uchiha's phantoms.

Then, a large number of detonating tags appeared out of nowhere around Shisui and Kakashi.

Seeing this, Kakashi hurriedly retreated to Shisui's side.

Violent explosions occurred one after another, and the ninjas on the periphery wanted to rescue but were forced back by the violent explosions.

Seeing this, Kuragami Uchiha slammed Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk, gritted his teeth, and said: "Third Hokage-sama, can you explain why this masked man appeared at this time and attacked our people? Or is this your backup plan?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face also showed a few traces of panic, and he hurriedly said: "Kuragami, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

In the crystal ball, the smoke caused by the explosion slowly dissipated, and a huge dark green figure was revealed. Under Susanoo, Shisui Uchiha's eyes were full of blood and tears, and behind him, Kakashi and the Ino-Shika-Chou trio were unharmed.

The next moment, some cracks began to appear on the surface of Shisui's Susanoo, and the figure of Shisui below was also shaky.

Soon, the Susanoo dissipated, and Shisui also fell into Kakashi's arms.

"It looks like you're in a very bad situation, kid." 

The masked man who appeared in the crowd looked back at Itachi Uchiha and said: "But, as I said, I will help you when you need help."
