We sped along the road, and it took me half a day to recover from the sadness of parting. The ninjas that had been swapped out this time were very powerful. They were actually led by White Tooth and Blue Beast, as well as a portion of elite upper ninjas and a large number of middle ninjas.
After a short break at noon, White Tooth and Blue Beast led a portion of the elites to set off first, followed by the ninjas at the second line of defense. After a while, we set off as well. Our team only had about 20 or so chuunins, but they all looked like elite chuunins. There were actually 60 teams of Genin like us. The team leaders did not follow us to the third line of defense. For example, our team leader, Tazaki, was sent to the first line of defense. Kakashi was now the acting captain.
"Little Kakashi, long time no see.”Suddenly, a gentle female voice rang out. Kakashi's entire body trembled, and his expression stiffened. The three of us turned around to look. One of them had hair standing on end, and his face was painted in the shape of teeth. When he smiled, his two sharp canine teeth were clearly visible. It turned out to be a ninja from the Inuzuka family, and beside him was a huge brown dog. They caught up to us from the side.
"Ah, Auntie Claw! Uh…" Kakashi revealed a rare fawning smile. However, before he could finish speaking, Inuzuka's face suddenly turned ashen as he threw a punch at Kakashi. Kakashi flew in an arc as he ran, smashing through two branches and breaking some leaves before landing on the ground in a sorry state. Rie and I both cried out in shock and stopped.
"I told you long ago to call me sister!”Aunt Claw landed in front of Kakashi and bared her teeth as she lectured him. Ninja Inu, who was beside her, ran over to Kakashi and crouched down, nodding at Kakashi. I was very surprised. Such an intelligent Ninja Inu would probably only be possessed by the upper echelons of the Inuzuka family.
A few drops of sweat trickled down our foreheads." Oh, hello, sister." Rie and I immediately understood the situation and added 'sister'. Kakashi could only compromise.
"Sigh, hehehe, what a good little brother and sister.”Inuzuka Claw patted Rie and my heads with both hands and laughed like a queen. We felt a chill run down our spines, and the smiles on our faces became even brighter. The ninjas not far away from us heard the commotion and rushed over. There were a few chuunins among them. When they saw Inuzuka Claw's terrifying laughter, the Genins immediately took a few steps back while the chuunins rubbed their foreheads in unison. They were helpless, thinking that there was danger.
"Alright, let's continue. We have to reach the stronghold before sunset.”A chuunin tried to smooth things over, and everyone jumped up and moved forward. Our team followed Sister Claw under her coercion. We got to know each other on the way, especially Rie who was very excited to recognize a strong sister. She called her sister and asked her questions, and Sister Claw answered all her questions. After a while, the two of us became very friendly. Kakashi and I only laughed along the way, and our facial muscles were a little sore. Fortunately, we finally reached the main stronghold of the third line of defense after a few hours. Sister Claw finally left us. Kakashi and I heaved a sigh of relief.
I carefully examined the castle-like building. It was hidden in the dense forest, but it had a wide field of vision. It didn't occupy a large area and could only accommodate a few hundred people, but its defensive power couldn't be underestimated. Looking at the city walls made of huge rocks and the defensive barrier on the city walls that could only be vaguely seen, the huge crossbow launchers and all kinds of equipment on the city walls undoubtedly showed that this was a strong fortress.
The city gates were wide open, and the remaining Jounin in the city came out to welcome us. Our leader took out an explanation scroll and handed over the order. After the other party confirmed it, they let us go. We finally ended our journey, and the group of Jounin cheered and swarmed in.
After entering the castle, I realized that this castle wasn't as simple as I had imagined. The houses in the stronghold were also made of stone. The windows were very small and were blocked by iron rods. When I entered the rooms, I realized that there were actually two doors. The passageway was narrow, and one of the passageways was a dead end. This place was definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack. The rooms were scattered, probably to facilitate street fighting. The city walls were also divided into two sections. The inner wall was slightly lower, and there were actually machines that could instantly shoot hundreds of Kunai on it. This was definitely a great killing weapon. These were only things that could be seen. What danger could there be if they could not be seen?
After touring for a while, we found an empty room and prepared to rest. The remaining troops would leave tomorrow, and the leading Chuunins had gone to a meeting. It was probably a meeting about the castle's defense, so we prepared to rest. There was only one room, and there was a lady in the team. The only bed in the room was taken by Rie without hesitation, so Kakashi and I could only sleep on the floor.
I rested my head on my arm and yawned in boredom. This was my first night at the front line. The life of swords and knives began. The sleepiness from the long journey made me fall asleep very quickly.
