Naruto: Senmei Asahi

*Boom*

A loud noise reverberated throughout the area. 

As the explosive tag affixed to Asahi's earth clone exploded, the sand chunin in his front died in the explosion. Gazing at the sand chunin's horrified look before his death, he didn't have any fluctuations in his heart. 

Habit is a very terrifying thing, it could make people completely numb to something. 

Once he got accustomed to killing, even after killing more and more people, there was not too much ups and downs in his heart, it was as if it was like eating and drinking, a completely normal thing to do. 

Ninja is a tool, a tool for killing people. Asahi was fully prepared for this before deciding to become a ninja.

"Take care of the scene, we need to leave immediately!" Standing high on a tree, Asahi said as he treated the wounds on his body. 

"Oh… I'll have to take care of it again, right?" Shinohara complained as he handled the scene neatly. 

During the war, even a small genin might have secret information on him. And the traces left after the battle also needed to be cleaned up, so as to prevent the enemy from finding the killer's information based on the battle traces at the scene. 

A month had passed since the last incident. After the incident passed back to Sunagakure, they immediately dispatched several Jonin-level ninjas to the borders of the two countries and madly retaliated against Konoha's ninjas.

And Konoha now had the Third Hokage's approval, and naturally would not show weakness. At the same time that Sunagakure sent troops to the border, Konoha also sent a large number of ninjas to the border to resist the attack. 

This also indicates that Konoha and Sunagakure have completely torn the "Peace Treaty" signed during the last wartime and have now entered another war phase. 

Ueno, as one of the village's Jonin, was naturally transferred by the village, to another team, to perform difficult missions. So Asahi was temporarily appointed as the captain of the team, leading Keita and Shinohara to perform simple missions such as patrolling and escorting supplies.

"It's already completely dark, why haven't the ninjas for the next shift arrived yet?" Night fell, but the ninja team for the shift had not arrived yet, so Shinohara couldn't help but complain. 

"Don't worry, they must have been delayed temporarily." Keita said. 

"Hah… What else can be done, I want to leave already, I have too little time to rest these days." Shinohara complained, "If we retreat now, what is really going to happen is that they will be held accountable..." 

"Shinohara!" Asahi hearing this loudly shouted, and said with a frown, "Don't ever have this kind of idea, everything we do is for the village, others' affairs have nothing to do with us." 

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I was just complaining." Shinohara flipped over, and helplessly said. 

"Come here!" Waiting a while, Keita seemed to have found something, and suddenly loudly shouted, "Their chakra flow is wrong, they should be using [Transformation Jutsu]." 

"Sigh, Sunagakure came to die again." Shinohara hearing this, mocked with a smile, "I'm afraid they never considered that we would have a Hyuga ninja in our team." 

"It seems that the ninja who were supposed to switch with us have been killed." Keita said solemnly. 

"Let's kill these group first and act as planned." Asahi indifferently said. 

"Yes!" 

As soon as the words came down, Keita withdrew himself into the woods, and Asahi and Shinohara made hand seals for [Shadow Clone Jutsu], Keita also did so and then made his shadow clone change into an ordinary chunin, leaving no trace. 

Ten minutes later, the sand ninjas, disguised as a Konoha squad, arrived at the place to take over. 

"Leave it to us and you guys go back to rest!" The leader ninja said in a carefree manner. 

"Yasu, why are you here so late today?" Shinohara complained. 

"There was a temporary situation, sorry for that. When you come for your shift tomorrow, you can also come a little late, in that way I can make up for this inconvenience for you." Yasu said apologetically. 

"That's okay then! Asahi, let's go back!" Shinohara said with a smile. 

"Let's go." Asahi said indifferently. 

After passing by this group of Sunagakure ninjas, Keita suddenly exploded, with a flash another body appeared behind a sand ninja instantly, taking advantage of the excellent opportunity that the other side was yet to respond, Asahi took out a kunai and directly from behind pierced the enemy's heart. 

At the same time, Shinohara and Asahi's shadow clones also exploded, attacking two other sand ninja. 

"You've found us long ago?" Shouted a sand shinobi, who was both frightened and angry. 

"Hehe, how could you even think you could fool our eyes with your little tricks?" Shinohara said with a sneer, "Now accept death!"

*Bang*

Another shadow clone started combat against the enemy, but after a few taijutsu exchanges, the shadow clone was destroyed. However, at that same time, a silhouette belonging to Keita appeared behind him. 

[Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms] 

"Go to hell!" 

With continuous blows, his Gentle Fist not only blocked the sand ninja's chakra pathways, but also wounded his internal organs. When the thirty-two palms were completed, the opponent had already fallen to the ground and died. 

"Good cooperation!" Asahi moved towards Keita, with a thumbs up. 

They already killed two sand ninjas in combat, and the remaining one was no longer capable to oppose them, and it was not long before he was beaten to death by the trio. 

"What do we do next?" Shinohara frowned, asked after killing the enemy.

"The ninja who came to pick up shift after us has been killed. Do we need to stay here now?" 

"No! I suspect that Sunagakure ninjas are conspiring something." Asahi shook his head and analyzed, "From the team we killed in the morning to the team we killed at night, it seems that a large number of ninjas were sent to sneak attack our patrol teams." 

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Keita asked, clearly puzzled. 

"Why would Sunagakure spend so much effort to deal with our insignificant patrol personnel? They definitely want to send a large number of ninjas to pass through the blind spots of the patrol and execute some kind of Confidential Mission after killing us." Asahi speculated.

"So what do we do now?" Keita asked. 

Asahi pondered, and said, "Let's do this, Keita and I will continue to stay here. Shinohara, you take them back to the camp to find Orochimaru-sama and see if he has any way to detect these sand ninjas and gather some information. If there is no useful news, ask another patrol team to take over the shift." 

"Okay! Then I'll go first, you two be careful out here." After Shinohara finished speaking, he lifted up the three sand shinobi corpses and left. 

"Asahi, are you worried about some big move that Sunagakure will take?" Keita asked. 

"Yeah, I have a feeling." Asahi nodded, and then said solemnly, "The last time they took such a big loss, it's impossible for them to not to think of ways to retaliate against us. I suspect they will act soon."
