Chapter 486 Five-Man Team

The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the ground, leaving mottled shadows.

Birds fluttered their wings and flew from the branches, and the chirping insects suddenly stopped singing.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

In the dense forest, several figures flashed past quickly. The branches trembled slightly, then calmed down again.

"In this battle, our mission is to prevent the invasion of Iwagakure from the northwest corner."

"Unlike the last war, this time Konoha will face a multi-front battle."

"The situation on the battlefield today is very complex."

Fugaku whispered.

Xia Le nodded slightly, with a very relaxed expression on his face.

According to the original plot, Konoha actually suffered a lot of losses during the Third Ninja War and lost many outstanding ninjas, including the death of Metkai.

But at the same time, Namikaze Minato and Konoha Golden Flash also performed outstandingly in this battle, made great achievements in battle, and rose to fame.

The Iwa Ninja in the northwest corner is not popular among the high-level officials of Konoha, so it is not a frontal battlefield.

The real battlefield should be the area facing Raigakure's Namikaze Minato and adjacent to the Kanna Bridge.

Even Orochimaru was arranged to face Sunagakure, and his position was obviously already determined at the beginning of the battlefield.

"The leader here in Yanyin Village is the East Dead Man."

"Now, Chen Bing is just in the northwest edge area and has not made any big moves."

"Our goal is to keep an eye on this group of people and prevent them from making a sudden attack."

Fugaku said slowly.

Before arriving, the village had naturally issued combat orders. The Akatsuki squadron led by the Uchiha clan has a mission that is neither light nor heavy.

"Are you sure?"

Xia Le asked.

Hearing this, Fugaku turned his head and glanced behind him.

There was no expression on the faces of Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, Shisui, and everyone else in the Uchiha.

"We Uchiha are full of talents now!"

Fugaku said with a smile, but Fugaku did not answer the question.

"hehe!"

But Xia Le understood what he meant.

The line of Iwagakure is not important, so the pressure on the Uchiha clan will not be great. In this war, their goal is more to train the young people behind them.

It can be felt that Nagato and others are very nervous.

For veteran ninjas like Xia Le and Fugaku, the war may have been indifferent, but for them, it was a great terror that they had never faced before.

"Is it too early for Itachi to go to war at such an age?"

Xia Le narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at a young figure beside him.

"The sooner he gets to know his true side in this world, the better it might be for him."

Fugaku said in a deep voice.

The young Itachi followed closely behind Fugaku, his face nervous, and his hands could even be seen shaking.

Obviously, the battlefield has a different meaning to such a young child.

"Yeah?"

Xia Le was noncommittal.

"Itachi, from now on, you follow me."

Hearing such words, Itachi was stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation, "Yes, teacher!"

Nagato and the other three looked at Itachi with pity in their eyes and sighed in their hearts.

Going to the battlefield at such a young age reminded them of how they were about the same age as Itachi when they met their teacher.

After a day and night of long journey, Xia Le and others finally arrived at the garrison camp on the northwest line.

"This war will be led by Fugaku."

"I will be responsible for roaming support!"

Xia Le said aloud.

Fugaku and everyone were stunned, then nodded, and no one objected.

Their team is basically the elite of Akatsuki. They are not many in number, but they are extremely powerful. It can be said that they are almost the backbone of Uchiha.

Leaping down from the branch, Fugaku stepped forward first to meet with the Konoha defense forces stationed there.

Xia Le and others started setting up tents on their own and got busy.

"Chief Fugaku, I didn't expect the village to send you here."

After seeing Fugaku and everyone in Xia Le, Mimura Hazaki, who was in charge of the defense force, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face.

The garrison on the northwest front was actually not large in quantity and of low quality.

Mimura Hamaki, who had previously served as the commander of this defense, had always been under great pressure, fearing a sudden attack by Iwagakure.

Then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to support myself.

But when the Akatsuki team led by the Uchiha clan arrived, it was different.

"Yumaki, we are also following Hokage-sama's orders."

Fugaku said with a smile.

"You and Elder Xia Le are both here, so we can rest assured!"

Mimura Hazaki said with a smile.

Once the pressure in his heart was gone, he felt a little more energetic.

"You still have to be cautious, Iwagakure is not easy to deal with."

Fugaku Road.

"Yes!"

"Thank you for your hard work on the road!"

Mimura Hazaki said with a smile.

The two quickly entered the central tent and prepared to discuss the details of the battle.

As for Xia Le.

"Teacher, is our mission this time just defense?"

Yahiko asked curiously.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so no one can predict what will happen in the future."

"But for now, the war has just begun, and our main task is indeed defense."

After a pause, Xia Le looked at several people again and said.

"You guys must remember one thing and strictly obey the orders of your superiors!"

"in addition!"

Nagato, the three, Itachi, and Shisui all looked at him.

"After encountering a desperate situation that you cannot face, the priority is to save your own life!"

"Remember, only when you are alive can you have hope!"

Xia Le's words made everyone stunned, especially Itachi, whose eyes shone brightly.

Because, in the teachings they receive in daily life, everyone is transmitting them, the mission is above all else, and if necessary, life can be sacrificed.

Xia Le didn't explain much.

In fact, war is just what some of the upper echelons of this world need to reconcile conflicting interests. Only the thousands of ninjas at the bottom died, and the benefits were redistributed.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that after the Second Ninja War, no one entered or occupied Konoha and the surrounding ninja villages in the Rain Country.

On the contrary, the constant influx of some rebels has turned this country into a lawless place, with violent and bloody incidents happening every day.

More importantly, Xia Le knew very well that the battlefield in Konoha had become a gilded battlefield under the deliberate guidance of some people.

Although things are done in a very subtle way, people who are interested can easily detect it.

All I can say is that war is not pure!

Nagato and others seemed to recall the scene when they were young, their expressions became a bit ugly and they became silent.

"Elder Xia Le!"

"Are we exiled during this war?"

Suddenly, Shisui beside him asked in a trembling voice.

Xia Le was startled, then turned to look.

"Why do you think so?"

After he laughed, he asked aloud.

Shisui hesitated for a moment, but soon spoke: "There have been a lot of rumors within the family recently."

"Elder Setsuna even said so."

When the words came to this point, another Uchiha clan jonin on the side suddenly shouted: "Shisui!"

Hesitation flashed across Shisui's face, and finally he fell silent.

"You also said that they are all rumors, Shisui!"

"Elder Setsuna, even if he has any impulsive words, his original intention is still for the good of the family."

Xia Le smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Zhisui on the shoulder.

"But the conflict between the family and the village is getting deeper and deeper. Even I can understand this kind of thing."

Shisui gritted his teeth.

The Uchiha jounin stared at him, not wanting the other party to speak anymore.

Because Elder Xia Le had just returned to the family and joined this war, it was really not appropriate to talk about these words at this time.

"Conflicts are always there."

"But how you handle it is what matters."

"However, you little guys don't need to think about these issues."

Xia Le was still smiling.

"Don't worry, let us old guys handle everything!"

At this point, he sighed again.

"If it's a family matter, we have to rely on you little guys to handle it."

"Then the Uchiha clan has reached its end!"

Itachi seemed to be stunned at the side. After hearing Xia Le's words, he stared curiously at his cheap teacher.

Both his father and the many adults in the clan seemed to respect the elder in front of him very much.

Moreover, everyone in the clan obviously respects each other very much.

"Shisui, at such a young age, don't think so much."

"It's going to get old!"

Xia Le stretched out his hand again and pointed at the other person's forehead.

"Believe us, all problems will be solved by adults!"

A smile appeared on Shisui's face, and then he muttered: "I'm not a child anymore, I'm already a genin!"

"Besides, I'm going to become a chuunin soon!"

But Elder Xia Le's words obviously made him feel much more relaxed and settled down.

The man in front of him always had a smile on his face. He was known as the strongest adult in Uchiha, but he had no airs at all. He was gentle and gentle, and full of affinity.

Completely different from Elder Setsuna.

"Let's rest before the battle order comes down!"

Xia Le said again.

Everyone responded and then got busy.

Itachi and Shisui lived together, and at night, the two of them lay together.

"Brother Zhisui, who is Elder Xia Le?"

Itachi asked curiously as he lay on the bed to rest.

"Elder Xia Le?"

Shisui was stunned for a moment, then with the faint light of fireflies outside the tent, he looked sideways at Itachi who looked opposite with a curious look on his face.

"He is a great man!"

Itachi blinked: "A great person?"

"Actually, I don't know Elder Xia Le very well."

"I just heard the elders in the clan mentioned his deeds."

"Of course, you were born later than me, and Elder Xia Le has not been in the clan these years, so I have never heard of him."

Shisui said with a smile.

Itachi listened quietly.

"Before the Second Ninja War, Elder Xia Le actually performed mediocrely within the clan. He was just an ordinary chuunin."

"By the way, the current fire jounin in the clan is his friend."

"But during the Second Ninja War, Elder Xia Le opened his Sharingan due to an accident."

"and!"

At this point, Shisui's throat rolled, and his eyes showed shock and excitement.

"He directly opened his eyes from the Magatama Sharingan to the highest level taught in the clan, which is the Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Itachi's pupils shrank, and he was shocked: "What? Elder Xia Le actually activated the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

"Yes, but it's more than that."

"In fact, even the people in the clan don't know what kind of power the kaleidoscope has."

"In the subsequent war, Elder Xia Le killed more than a hundred ninjas in Yu Ninja Village by himself, and in just a few breaths."

"In the rainy night, his figure was like a flashing black light. Before anyone could see clearly, the battle was over!"

"It was also that day that Elder Xia Le defeated the demigod Hanzo, also known as the shadow of Yuyin Village, alone."

"After returning to the village, his reputation became even more prominent, ranking alongside that of Konoha White Fang."

"Many civilian ninjas who were rescued worshiped him crazily."

There was obvious respect and excitement in Shisui's words.

Because no matter who it is, they will get excited when talking about the deeds of Elder Xia Le.

His various deeds are almost the same as legends.

"After returning to the village and serving as an elder, Elder Xia Le developed a variety of ninjutsu."

"Today, the A-level ninjutsu circulated in the clan, Chidori, was created by him."

"If used in conjunction with the Sharingan, it will be an incomparable fit."

Shisui's words made Itachi's heart surge.

It was also at this time that he realized why his father wanted to hand him over to Elder Xia Le.

Such a great teacher will naturally teach stronger students.

On the second day, it was bright and clear.

The tent door was opened, and a face peeked in.

Shisui opened his eyes suddenly, and his body became alert.

"Shisui, Itachi, wake up!"

"We have a mission!"

Zhisui looked sideways, and a smiling face with blond hair and a sunny face appeared in front of him.

"Brother Yahiko!"

Yahiko nodded: "Hurry up!"

After a while, Shisui and Itachi were fully dressed.

The two did not see Elder Xia Le, but they noticed that there were three figures in the central tent, one of which was the leader of the Uchiha clan.

"The mission is very simple. Our goal is to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Earth, go deep to the northwest, and explore the enemy's situation."

"But there are dangers!"

"Because during this tense period, the enemy must have a large number of troops scattered along the border."

As Yahiko spoke, he tossed the kunai in his hand and inserted it into his waist.

"Shisui, Itachi, you two are in the middle of the group."

"I, Nagato, Xiaonan take the front, left and right positions!"

"Be careful with everything!"

After a pause, the smile in Yahiko's eyes turned into solemnity and seriousness.

"This, after all, is a war!"

Everyone nodded.

The next second, this five-person team passed through the northwest line of Konoha Forest and jumped into the territory of the Earth Kingdom.

What you see is a piece of loess and sand.

The environment of Earth Kingdom is very different from that of Konoha. And this is also the place most suitable for Iwa Ninja to perform.

The five-person team is here, exploring it cautiously.
