"Hey! There seems to be something moving."
A Cloud Shinobi pricked up his ears discreetly.
Darui frowned and immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to hide in the bushes.
"Did someone discover us?"
"No, this place is on the outskirts of the Uchiha area. Generally speaking, people from Konoha won't come here."
Darui explained in a low voice.
"Maybe it's Uchiha's kids, let's see what happens!"
Several people continued to ambush.
Sure enough, not long after, two boys in the uniform of the Uchiha family came out from the grass.
"It turned out to be two children? Why did they run out so early?"
The group of Cloud Shinobi were a little surprised.
What the heck.
Isn't it just dawn at this hour?
Shouldn't ordinary kids still be asleep in bed at this time?
Why are these two children wandering outside?
"Maybe they came out to play. As far as I know, children in Konoha live a better life than children in other villages."
"That's right, these kids in Konoha Village are extremely lazy and incompetent. I observed that before; their kids hardly take classes seriously at school. Not to mention learning Lightning Style and other skills like our Cloud Shinobi, they even slack off with the most basic ninjutsu."
"Haha, if this continues, within a few years, Konoha's strength will be reduced to the bottom of the five major countries!"
"There is no need to send so many people here. The children of Konoha Village can be caught four or five at a time!"
"That's right! These children have no resistance at all and can only be picked off by us!"
A group of Cloud Shinobi snickered to themselves.
They all thought that Konoha's kids were lazy and had no fighting power at all!
If they met these Chūnin-level Cloud Shinobi like them, it would just be an easy task!
Maybe they wouldn't even need a Jōnin, and could take a few away with a block of bricks!
However...
At this time.
"Hey, you two, how much weight can you carry today?"
A cold voice came from not far away.
The two Uchiha kids who were just locked on stopped immediately and looked back at Sasuke.
"Already 8 pieces."
"10 pieces for me."
Sasuke nodded, then took out two lead plates from a scroll and fitted them one by one.
"To be a Uchiha means being able to endure hardships more than others."
"Don't lose to them!"
The two nodded excitedly and then sensibly installed the lead plates.
Next, they started their warm-up run.
Seeing this scene.
A group of Cloud Shinobi were surprised and confused.
"Hey... Hey, what's the situation? Didn't you say that the kids in Konoha Village are all playboys? Why do these three kids seem to be exercising!"
One Cloud Shinobi expressed doubts, and the rest also nodded their heads, expressing their incomprehension.
"Uh... don't panic, these people belong to the Uchiha clan. As the largest family, it's only natural that they work harder than others." Darui explained.
"Now what?"
"We'll wait here to find the target, and wait until it gets dark before making a move."
A group of people squatted obediently in the grass.
Ten minutes later.
Two more figures came running over.
"Darn Naruto, it's all because of him that I have to work hard now."
Chōji wore iron boots on his feet, and the lead plates on his body clanged non-stop.
Inuzuka Kiba clenched his fists and said unhappily: "Damn! If it weren't for me, I would also want to practice the Body Flicker Technique stunt like Naruto. I wouldn't want to get up so early to exercise even if I was forced to."
Chōji: "That's right! I also want to teleport like him! Damn, when will I be able to practice it!"
The two ran and complained.
Just like that, they ran straight in front of Cloud Shinobi's ambush.
After a brief silence.
"Hey, this isn't right? Why are there two more kids training?"
"Yes! And what's with the equipment on them? Is that weight!?"
"Weight? No way! Those pieces of equipment must weigh tens of kilograms! They can actually run with them on their backs?"
A group of Cloud Shinobi were dumbfounded.
Two were sent away just now, and now two more are coming!
And looking at their clothes, they're not from the Uchiha clan either.
Didn't you say that Konoha's kids are very lazy? Why did we just squat down, without warming our buttocks, and bump into 4 people who came to do morning exercises!
"But, maybe it's because he wants to lose weight... Doesn't the one with the tattoo on his face look a bit chubby?"
Darui wiped his sweat and forcefully explained.
"I said, did Lord Raikage miss it? If these kids practice so hard, they probably won't be caught casually!"
The other Cloud Shinobi made a point.
This time the Cloud Shinobi troops came to Konoha to catch people, assuming it would not cost a single soldier.
According to their intelligence, these kids in Konoha have almost no fighting power at all.
All day long, they laze around and wander.
Catching them should be as easy as catching chickens!
But now...
Meeting 4 people in a row, all doing morning exercises!
And, with weights!
This way, their strength isn't very clear!
"Don't panic, it's just that we bumped into them occasionally. There are so many kids in Konoha, not all of them are idlers."
"It's because we are lurking in the forest, so all the people we meet come to do morning exercises."
"80% of the others are still sleeping."
Darui swallowed his saliva and stared firmly into the distance.
However, at this time.
Two more figures approached.
"Hey, it seems to be two girls this time!"
Just after seeing those two graceful figures, the Cloud Shinobi hiding in the grass recognized them.
Boys and girls have different walking postures.
"What do you say? They shouldn't be here for morning exercises this time, right?"
asked a Cloud Shinobi.
Darui nodded firmly: "Surely not, how could a girl wake up so early for morning exercises? It must be for a walk."
However...
"Ino-pig, I tell you! I can add 10 lead plates now! I am the most beautiful and strongest female ninja in Konoha!" Sakura's voice was as loud as a bell, and a group of Cloud Shinobi could hear it from afar.
"Huh! It's only 10 pieces! I can catch up tomorrow! Don't think I will lose to your wide forehead!"
Ino retorted, and the two kept running, competing with each other while running.
Charging out in front of the ambush again!
Seeing this scene.
The entire Cloud Shinobi squad, collectively dumbfounded!
"Hey! Didn't you say that most of them are idlers? Why are these two also here for morning exercises!"
"And it's a woman!"
"Wait, didn't you guys notice something more important? The morning exercises of these brats, it feels like they are not practicing themselves, but comparing themselves with others!"
"Yeah! It's been adding lead from the beginning, and it seems like everyone wants more lead!"
"Is this involving each other?"
"What happened to Konoha!"
A group of people could no longer be calm.
They originally thought Konoha's kids were a group of soft persimmons, which could be taken away in a sack like little chicks.
But now, they met 6 people in succession, and all of them came out to exercise just after dawn!
And the intensity of the workout is insane!
It even turns on competitive training mode!
"This..."
Darui opened his mouth wide in a daze, wanting to say something.
But at this moment.
Rumbling
Rumbling
A huge movement came from far and near...
Like an earthquake, and like a huge beast running wildly, the ground even began to tremble!
"Here! What happened!"
A group of Cloud Shinobi clenched their fists in a panic and buried their bodies in the grass nervously, not daring to move!
After a few seconds.
A boy wearing a green jumpsuit rushed forward.
Behind him, there were two large boulders with a diameter of about one meter.
Steel nails were driven into each stone, and then iron chains were passed through and tied to his legs.
He dragged two stones like this and ran through the forest!
"Damn! At this level, at this level, I can't catch up with Naruto!"
"Not enough!"
Lee pounded his legs in grief and anger, his tone full of unwillingness and self-blame.
"Wait, Naruto, I must surpass you!"
With that said, Lee raised his spirits.
Dragging two stones again, he frantically ran towards the distance.
Seeing this scene.
A group of Cloud Shinobi hiding in the grass, all of them were too scared to move!
They were stunned for more than half a minute, and when Lee's figure completely disappeared, everyone burst into violent exclamations!
"Damn it!!!!"
"This! What the heck is this! Just, was that a person just now!?"
"Stones!? I didn't see it wrong! That kid has two big stones tied to his legs!"
"What's the matter with Konoha and these kids? Are they all crazy? It's fine to use lead plates to carry weights, but now there are people tying stones to their legs!"
"Those two stones are more than one meter in diameter! He can still drag them!"
"Damn! These guys are monsters! Where did someone train like this!"
"Didn't you say that Konoha's kids are lazy people? Why are they all training like crazy!"
A bunch of Cloud Shinobi were totally thrown into chaos!
After encountering 6 regular training sessions in succession, the appearance of Lee was like a bomb, directly shattering their understanding!
Lead plates were ridiculous enough.
What the heck, tying rocks behind your legs!?
What kind of stimulation was it that led to such an extreme training method!
"Captain, we..."
Darui stretched out his hand, motioning everyone to stop talking.
In the current situation, even he felt that they could no longer continue the task!
Danger!
At this moment, Darui had only one thought in his mind!
For some unknown reason, the current information of Konoha Village is completely different from the intelligence they received!
This village is full of danger!
Those lazy kids, I don't know what stimulated them, and now they are working hard to practice diligently!
"The situation has changed, retreat first!"
Darui waved his hand.
Immediately commanded everyone to retreat.
But at this moment.
"Captain! It seems, it seems that someone is coming over again!"
A sentient Cloud Shinobi yelled in a low voice from the distance.
Darui immediately gestured to everyone not to move.
A group of people squatted nervously in the grass.
Staring intently into the distance.
As the distant scene got closer and closer, everyone's breathing changed from slow to rapid, and finally, they even stopped completely!
Because at this time, the one who approached everyone was none other than Naruto!
And Naruto's shape was similar to the previous Lee.
They were both bound with iron chains and had things tied behind their backs.
It's just that Naruto had more things tied to his back than Lee!
It was a mountain!
20 meters high and 10 meters wide, the whole body was a black rock mountain!
And Naruto, pulling the mountain, was running with determination.
