[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

Chapter 125 19. The Flower of the Battlefield

After running around all night, he only stopped to rest for half an hour due to exhaustion on the way. Before Xue Xue reached the village, he saw gunpowder smoke billowing into the air from a distance, announcing the prelude to the battle.

It's still too late!

Xue felt that the blood was rushing to her forehead, and her heart, which had no place to rest, was beating wildly, which made it difficult to control herself, so she could only take a breath and speed up, and rushed to Konoha as soon as possible.

The originally not long distance suddenly seemed endless, and the girl was full of uneasiness.

"senior!"

On the road, he suddenly heard a voice calling for himself, and when he looked back, it was Shenna who was running with a few subordinates.

"Kana, report the situation." Xue just slowed down her pace slightly, and didn't stop, waiting for Kanna to ask in parallel.

"Yes, we have taken over the task of searching for you, senior, and we are currently returning to the village for regular reports. Internally, we are deciphering the codes and enemy samples brought back by Mr. Jiraiya, and it seems that progress has been made. There is also top-secret information, and Naruto will follow you Fukasaku-sama is currently not in the village for training."

Kanna succinctly reported the key information before, without a word of nonsense, Yuki quickly understood the current situation.

"Is Naruto not in the village?"

"Yes."

Xue let go of her raised heart, as long as the Nine-Tails Jinzhu is not there, Payne's goal will not be achieved.But the crisis in the village is still the biggest problem now. I don't know if the teacher has started to fight the enemy.

"Senior, what happened to the village? Are you again?" Kanna asked looking at Xue's anxious face.

"...delayed by a troublesome guy, the village should be engaging the enemy by now."

"enemy?"

"Ah, Akatsuki's leader came to look for Kyuubi in person. I originally wanted to come back to report the news, but I was a step too late..."

"What?!" Not only Kanna, but also the three subordinates behind him shouted in surprise.

"In short, now we have to rush back to support as soon as possible, that is an enemy that even Jiraiya-sama can defeat..."

The fifth team didn't say any more nonsense, and followed the team leader closely and rushed towards the village.

As soon as they jumped into the village, several Anbu were shocked by the chaotic scene and couldn't speak for a while.The peaceful scene of the past no longer exists, and there are razed houses and villagers fleeing everywhere.

The shrill shouts and the crackling of battles came from all directions, making it difficult for people to grasp how many enemies there were and what kind of fighting power they had, as they felt besieged on all sides.

"This is..." When Konoha was attacked last time, none of the rookies were front-line combatants. Seeing this scene, they panicked for a while, not knowing what to do next.

"Attention the fifth team!"

Yuki who was standing in front did not give them time to be weak, but turned around and waved and ordered: "Kana took Inaba to report to Tsunade-sama immediately and do a good job of guarding to ensure the absolute safety of Hokage and follow her instructions, Hosokawa Go with Eguchi to assist regular ninjas to rescue the wounded, don't resist when you encounter enemies, your mission is not to fight the enemy, but to rescue, understand!"

"Yes!" The subordinates replied energetically, but Shen Nai still asked worriedly: "What about you, senior?"

Stepping on the raised gravel with one foot, Xue looked at the center of the battlefield, and her eyes were not at all confused.

"I'm going to keep my promise."

That person should be fighting on the front line right now.

When she looked back, the ponytail on the back of her head drew a red trace in the air, and the girl's smile in the sun was as gentle as a blooming sunflower.

"Then the next order is, let me survive."

When the team members were still immersed in this never-before-seen smile, they couldn't find the figure of their boss. The continuous sound of fighting in their ears made them realize that they still had things to do, and immediately dispersed according to the division of labor ordered by Xue. .

When he started walking, Inaba turned around and looked in the direction where the girl disappeared, but he could no longer see the wine-red hair, thinking about what he said just now, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The body was buried among the cold ruins, the scene in the eyes had already begun to appear motley, and the excessive breathing made the mask even covered with dampness, which was a signal of Chakra overdraft.

The eye-catching silver hair is now covered with dust and gravel, and looks listless. The left eye under the scar is closed tightly, and the right eye, which was always full of smiles in the past, is now only tired and inextinguishable.

The battle with Payne consumed too much strength of the silver-haired jonin, and now he is trapped between the collapsed broken walls and cannot move.

It can be said that there is no way out.

Kakashi laughed to himself inwardly.

But luckily she wasn't there.

Kakashi rejoiced in his heart again.

If the girl returns to the village and finds that she is gone, will she blame him?

The silver-haired jonin found that at the moment of life and death, his mind was full of matters about the house cat.Originally, I thought that I was still alive only to continue to look at the world with the eyes of my friends and watch the growth of the new generation, but why is my heart full of regrets at this moment.

He has a new hope for life, and he wants to live with the girl.

However, it is too late to realize this fact now.

Choji's anxious voice calling for his seriously injured father, whose life and death are unknown, reached his ears, and the two enemies who were still able to move were approaching, but Kakashi didn't even have the room to feel sentimental.

At least... At least I have to work harder, and I can't let the girl know my embarrassing side.

Slowly opening the closed red left eye, Kakashi knew that if he used Kamui again, he would probably die from exhaustion, but he was able to die in a fighting posture for the sake of his belief, which was not a disappointment to so many people. expectations.

The enemy's attack hit Choji's back, the windmill pattern in his pupils gradually took shape, and the silver-haired jonin was ready to stop the attack desperately.

Everything is so slow, so slow that you can see the surrounding scenery clearly. If this is the vision before death, Kakashi seems to be fine, because he saw the hallucination of the girl.

Is this the last gift given to the dying?

"teacher!"

The familiar shout and the metal sound of the collision of weapons interrupted the changes in the left eye. Kakashi looked at the source of the sound in surprise, and his wine-red hair was waving in the air like a gorgeous ribbon, attracting his gaze.

The ninja sword in the girl's hand drew a silver light, which appeared at an unexpected timing and resolutely blocked the enemy's last dying struggle.

"Hurry up and report to Hokage-sama!" Yuki held the ninja sword in his backhand, lowered his body and looked directly at the enemy in front of him, but shouted at Choji behind him, "Leave this to me!"

"You are... Xiaoxue? You can't beat him!" Ding Ci looked at the woman who appeared out of nowhere in disbelief and wondered.

"No problem." Snow involuntarily urged Choji to flee, but never took her eyes off the enemy.

"Fortunately, in time..."

The girl's words, which seemed to be talking to herself, drifted along the wind, and broke into her tired and confused mind.

Not a hallucination.

The figure standing in front of the enemy was so real, Kakashi looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief, and even forgot about the current situation.

Although the uniform on her body was tattered and blackened with blood, and her hair was curled up indiscriminately because she hadn't taken care of it, but seeing that she was fine, her heart was half relieved.

However, the smoke of the battlefield quickly brought Kakashi back to reality, and he let out a sigh of relief when he thought of the current situation.

"what are you doing here!"

They haven't seen each other for a long time, and the first words they say when they meet again are actually such a scene. Outsiders will definitely find it extremely funny.However, the silver-haired Jonin couldn't laugh. Even if the girl has become stronger, the enemy in front of her is still not an opponent she can defeat.

Why did you choose to come back at this time?

And still stand in front of him like this.

Kakashi felt panic, which was different from his own fear when facing death.

"Because I want to protect the teacher."

The girl's cold voice echoed on the battlefield full of noise, like a breeze cutting through the heat brought by the battle, without a trace of hesitation, without any fluctuations, just like a natural tone of breathing.

Her hair was fluttering in the air, and the thin girl was holding a ninja knife and standing motionless in the open space full of rubble, her faint aura made her back look taller.

Flowers standing awe-inspiringly above the ruins.

That is the flower of the battlefield.

Kakashi couldn't take his eyes off the back, but he didn't know how to persuade her, because the girl's posture at this moment was like a blade made for battle, and no one could stop her from shining on her own stage.

Yuki cautiously placed the ninja sword by her side, and focused her eyes on the enemy in front of her. He had met not long ago, Jiraiya's former student Tendo Payne.

Although she hadn't confronted head-to-head due to injuries before, Xue knew that the enemy's abilities were quite troublesome.

Can't hold back.

The moment the ninja knife was swung not towards the enemy, but towards his own wrist, the blood spilled on the ground and formed a red dagger in his hand at the same time.

Payne, who had been watching everything with cold eyes, was also attracted by this strange ninjutsu and raised his head slightly.

"I recognize you. You are the mouse that sneaked in with Jiraiya-sensei before..." Payne's face is full of strange decorations, only the mouth opens and closes without moving the facial muscles, which looks very strange, "It's hard Take back a life but don't know how to cherish it."

Xue looked at the man who didn't have a trace of dust on his body, and then looked sideways at Kakashi who was still buried in the ruins and could not move.

There is only one enemy now, and the teacher is obviously exhausted and unable to act, so he has no way to transfer the teacher away under the enemy's nose.

All the flares on his body were searched by Wu and he couldn't ask for reinforcements, not to mention that other places might not be able to free up manpower to help.

The enemy can only be stopped here.

The black eyes seemed to have made up their minds, and the originally calm face was full of serious expressions, but when one looked carefully, one could find the corners of the girl's mouth slightly raised.

"I don't think I'm going to lose..."
