Chapter 6 - Back on battlefield (1/2)

In front of Konoha's big door, Nori in Konoha ninja outfit, proudly wearing his front protection.

Nori looked one last time at the village of Konoha before moving away towards the borders of the land of fire.

The previous day, his leave was completed and he received a level C mission the same day, to patrol at the border.

It was a fairly simple mission, all he had to do was observe suspicious enemy movements, in addition to writing daily reports.

It was the least risky type of mission of the war and as classified as a rank C mission, it was also fairly well paid.

”I have to think about my retirement, I don't want to be a ninja all my life!” said he with a big smile as he accelerated even faster.

Then two days later, he arrived in front of a large canyon, about fifty meters deep with a stone bridge of about ten meters to cross the canyon.

”Normally, according to my information, patrols should guard the bridge.” whispered Nori with a sligh surprise.

But then a man in his twenties, wearing the frontal protection of konoha, came out of the forest and approached Nori with a smile.

”So you're my replacement, thank you for coming so quickly, my name is Akito Nakamura. Nice to meet you.”

”Nori Hisamatsu, nice to meet you.” replied our protagonist.

”Come with me to the camp to make your registration.” Says the man as he walked towards the forest.

”The patrol must be tiring, I'm sure you miss Konoha,” Nori said as he followed Akito.

”No, actually patrol missions are relatively easy, but you're right, i miss Konoha .”

”It's already the rainy season in Konoha, you'll be soaked before you even return to the village!” said Nori, laughing.

”Yes, you're right, I almost forgot...” But before Akito finished his sentence, a Kunai stabbed him in the throat.

Nori slowly pulled out the Kunaï of Akito's throat, Akito fell on ground looked at him with an incredulous look.

”The rainy season in Konoha has been over for six months.” Says Nori as she watches Akito die.

Suddenly a dozen Shuriken headed towards him, but Nori jumped backwards and dodged them completely before hiding behind a tree.

Directing his gaze towards the direction from which the Shurikens were launched Nori saw five ninjas clearly wearing iwa's frontal protection heading towards him.

Two of the five ninjas quickly executed seals with their fingers and the others separated in different directions as if to circle Nori.

”Doton : Earthquake Slam!”Screamed one of Iwa's ninjas, hitting his palms against the ground.

”Doton : Erupt”Screamed Iwa's second ninja by hitting his fists against the ground.

The ground under the feet of our protagonist instantly separated, then several small mountains of stone hit him and throwing his bodie more than 20 m into the sky.

One of Iwa's ninja who had separated earlier began to execute several seals before taking a great breath through his mouth.

”Katon : Flame Bombs!”

Then a large red ball of fire exploded in the direction of Nori, who fell in free fall.

Iwa's ninjas finally stopped moving, because all the martial arts masters will tell you, once in free fall, you can't dodge or attack, it was one of the worst possible situation in a fight, because the body was completely vulnerable.

But under the incredulous eyes of the ninjas of Iwa, Nori, as if he moving on dry land easily dodged the fireball and walked on the air before landing quietly on the ground.

”What a f.u.c.k?”Thoughted the five ninjas of Iwa at the same time.

But before they had time to react, Nori pulled two Kunai out of his back pocket, holding a Kunai in each hand.

Then folded both his legs to the maximum.
