Bai Yun Chapter 157: Heroes of Konoha

In an ordinary small courtyard in the southwest of Konoha Village, there is a hollow made of tiles on the wall of the courtyard. Through the hollow, you can see a small tree in the courtyard, which has grown taller and taller.

Two middle-aged ninjas in their thirties stood at the gate of the small courtyard, waiting for their last teammate.

"Tekushi, I didn't expect that we would have another day to fight for Konoha."

"Duanmu Ping, this should be our last fight. I searched for a long time before I found my Chunin vest. You still have younger siblings to wash for you, you see my vest is dirty, it's really damaging My shining image."

"Hehe, there's no way, you're always inferior to me, just get used to it. By the way, I've seen my son's Chunin vest, and our vests and their styles have changed."

"After all, this is our vest from 20 years ago. The vest is much more handsome than our old vest."

"I don't know how our sons are doing in the country of waves. I heard that Kirin can no longer fight."

"That is, our son shoots, does Mist Ninja still have the ability to fight again?"

These two men in old-style chunin vests are standing at the door of the small courtyard.

One of them, pressing his chest from time to time, is Duanmu's father. He retired because of a penetrating lung injury, which would itch and even hurt on rainy days. In winter, the cold wind will make him cough uncontrollably.

I heard that he was going to be recalled. He has been training continuously for the past few nights. Just recovering from training has caused his chest to hurt again.

Another middle-aged man, with concerned eyes, looked at the chest of his old friend, Tekuno's father.

Tehisa's father is okay, and has been dealing with ninja tools since he retired. He is always comforting himself, he deals with Kunai every day, and it seems that the fighting instinct never goes away.

It was because he was on the run after completing a mission that he kept squeezing Chakra, which eventually led to a dark injury to the nerves of his body. After that, every time I extracted chakra, it would be painful, so I retired.

He thinks that he can still handle traps with one hand, and traps don't need chakra.

Not long after, the door creaked open, and two middle-aged women walked out of the door.

One of them also wears a Chunin vest, but only has one arm left. This is Duanmu's wife, Xiao Yuqie.

Although she is wearing a Chunin vest, her face is no longer as capable as a female ninja should, but instead is full of the tenderness that belongs to her mother. The Chunin vest looks a little incongruous on her.

Another middle-aged woman holds a child in her arms. This is Duanmu's mother, Duanmuying. She doesn't need to go to the battlefield, but she has the most nervous face among them.

Tehisa's father said loudly: "Sister Yukiri, this time we are in the war, we are a team!"

Xiaoyuqiu nodded and said, "I only have one arm, I hope you don't dislike my lack of combat ability now..."

Tehisa's father laughed:

"How could it be! Retired ninjas, who didn't retire until they couldn't hold on. I'm the strongest among the three of us. As the team leader, I will promise to let you all come back safely."

Duanmu's father said, "Oh, you are still so brave."

Xiao Yuqie also smiled, turned her head with nostalgic eyes, and reached out and stroked her child for the last time.

The child was very quiet. He stretched out his little hand and grabbed Xiao Yuqie's two fingers, and laughed happily.

She was too young to know what was about to happen.

Xiao Yuqie carefully pulled out her fingers, her child was still smiling and reaching out to her with a small round hand.

Finally, the three men in ninja vests turned and left together.

Duanmu's mother held the child and watched the three of them walk towards the end of the alley step by step.

The end of the alley is the street, and the three of them are about to turn.

A tear fell on the child's face. Although the child was small, but very smart, he immediately knew that something bad had happened.

The child began to cry, and Duanmu's mother hurriedly coaxed the child.

The cry reached Xiao Yuqie's ears, and Xiao Yuqie's body paused as he walked forward.

This made the hearts of the two men beside him very painful. Both of their elders have seen their sons grow up, so they know that Xiao Yuqie at this time is the most vulnerable mother.

In the end, Xiao Yuqie didn't look back, and continued to walk forward, instead speeding up.

Coming to the street, after turning around, the three of them ran quickly and ran to the Konoha gate.

Tears fell from Xiao Yuqie's face, but there was no sound.

Countless similar scenes took place in Konoha Village.

More than 1,000 Konoha retired ninjas unearthed old ninja vests from old boxes at home. From the corner of the room, I took out the rusty kunai.

For several nights in a row, the sound of grinding ninja tools echoed in the streets and alleys of Konoha.

Kunai or Ninja, rubbing against the whetstone also sharpens the long-silent blood of these ninjas.

At the Konoha gate, the people of the Uchiha family are maintaining order.

Uchiha Fugaku stood in the distance, watching the ninjas gather in front of him.

Defend the border between Iwa Ninja and Mist Ninja, each with 150 ninjas. These ninjas have just been through war and are experienced and powerful. But the journey is long and it takes four to five days to arrive.

The far-flung water can't close the fire, and the village needs to send out its combat power first to stop Sand Ninja's progress.

Without testing at all, Sand Ninja directly attacked Konoha Village.

Of the 1,500 active ninjas in the village, all 700 regular ninjas participated in the battle.

Eight hundred Uchiha Guards, two hundred recruited. The remaining 600 people serve as the last barrier of the village.

Nine hundred ninjas, all the fighting power that Konoha can draw out now, has already taken the first step and went to the front line to defend.

And now, it is the second batch of 1,600 retired ninjas who have been recalled to the front line.

Some of them are missing a limb, making it inconvenient to move, but they stubbornly maintain the dignity of a ninja.

Some have gained weight, their round stomachs are protruding, and their vests are several sizes too small, so they can only be worn open.

Some are old and hunched, and they keep telling the people around them about their youthful beauty.

Some scars are all over the place, and they look ferocious, but they only have appearances, and I don't know how much fighting power they still have.

This is Konoha's final war potential!

Even Uchiha Fugaku, who has been in battle for a long time and is used to seeing death, can't bear to watch these retired ninjas go to the front line to fight against the sand ninja who has been training for three years.

How many of these 1,600 retired ninjas survived the war and retired again?

A Uchiha man stood behind Fuyue and said:

"Lord Patriarch, is the village really not letting us Uchiha be dispatched?"

Fuyue closed his eyes slightly, opened his mouth to say something, and finally turned into a soft sigh:

"Stop talking. Send Konoha's heroes out of the village!"
