T/N: I changed the name Maki to Baki because I remembered Maki was Pakura's disciple.
-------------------------------
"Captain Kazuki," Baki asked hesitantly, "should we proceed with the attack?"
Kazuki's face paled as he spotted the Konoha camp ahead. He knew that they were in trouble, with the enemy's strongest ninja lurking behind them, waiting for the right moment.
"Let's launch a surprise attack on their camp, cause some damage, and then retreat." Kazuki clenched his teeth as he issued the order.
His plan made sense to him. They had already lost the battle advantage, so they might as well inflict some casualties on the Konoha camp with their remaining eight hundred men and then retreat to the southwest.
Soon after, they heard a series of explosions. They realized that Konoha had set up explosion traps around their camp.
But it was too late, as the order had already been passed and had spread to the other units.
At the edge of the camp, Kagawa, the squad leader who had ambushed the Itsuki squad in the morning, looked at the detonating traps in front of him.
He only needed to use his puppets to clear the way, and these traps would be useless.
At the Konoha camp, the ninjas dispersed their positions, watching alertly for any movement from the northwest direction where the blasts had occurred.

konoha champ
"They are about three minutes away, judging by the distance of the explosions," one of them said.
After attacking from the enemy's left and right flanks, the Uchiha clansmen skillfully evaded their own traps. As the Uchiha clansmen regrouped back at camp, despite the impending threat, the Uchiha members couldn't help but feel exhilarated by their thrilling victory.
The team had successfully attacked and killed several enemy squads without losing a single member. Their faces beamed with excitement, knowing that they had accomplished a remarkable achievement.
Rkenzoichi Hkenzoga was amazed by their success. Following Fugaku's clone and with the assistance of Inuzuka clan members, the Uchiha skillfully evaded traps and defeated the enemy without much direct confrontation.
They thought they were the main force on the task, but they had to face some Suna ninjas. The team had advanced soon after finishing off the enemy squad, and one after one they plummeted enemy champ number.
After they attracted Suna's camp's attention, their team began to retreat, leaving Fugaku's clone behind.
They knew that Suna's camp would suffer significant losses soon. It became evident that the Uchiha clan head was indeed as strong as rumored.
----------------------------------------------
Upon arriving at camp, the group took up their designated positions and prepared for any potential threats. The commander of the Nara clan issued orders, pointing his finger in various directions.
"Use Bakugun," he commanded.
Rkenzoichi duly obeyed, using his Bakugun to scan the surrounding woods for signs of movement.
Suddenly, a swarm of insects flew back from different directions, and a man wearing sunglasses and an overcoat extended his index finger. An insect landed on his fingertip and conveyed its message.
"Approximately one hundred ninja are approaching from the west. Be on high alert!" he warned.
The Akimichi clan members quickly positioned themselves to the west, keeping a sharp lookout on the surrounding area. Meanwhile, Rkenzoichi reported on the situation, looking grave-faced.
"Get ready... The enemy on this side is approaching from the northwest and north. There are hundreds of them, maybe even more than three hundred," he warned.
The Konoha camp was tense, waiting in anticipation. The first sand ninja appeared and dashed towards them. He was followed by a second one, and then a few more. They were ready to attack.
"Expansion jutsu: Plump Punch!"
The first sand ninja was knocked out by a huge fist that emerged out of nowhere. It belonged to a fat man with red hair, a member of the Akimichi clan.
They had a unique ability to alter their body size and weight using the Yang Release. This gave them an edge in both offense and defense, as they could unleash devastating blows and endure strong impacts.
However, they can also become targets because of their large size, so they relied on their allies for backup.
The other Sand Ninja fell with a thud and was knocked out before he could even use his kunai to defend himself.
"Wind style: wind blade"
Suddenly, Sand Shinobi appeared and attacked with his wind release, hitting the fat man, who shrieked in unbearable pain. As the attack stopped, the fat man sighed with relief, looking at the shadow under his feet.
"It's so dangerous; I'm saved."
"Be careful of their wind release, Makaro," a member of the Nara clan warned, as he half-squatted on the ground and made a strange gesture with both his hands.
His shadow was darker than the rest, and it was linked to Makaro's, controlling his fist movement and saving him from getting injured.
The secret technique of the Nara clan—shadow imitation—allows them to manipulate their enemies covered by shadows and control their movements according to their will.
With enough training, they could master different variations of the shadow technique and control multiple enemies at once.
It was the various secret techniques and bloodline limits of their clans that gave Konoha the ability to resist attacks from other nations.
Clans like Uchiha and Hkenzoga have dojutsu, and others have unique techniques they can use, such as dogs, insects, mind transfer, and shadow imitation.
Konoha village had a versatile range of abilities that no other village would ever have. Moreover, with the vast resources of Fire Country, Konoha stands strong.
-----------------------------------------------
For two months, the Sand Shinobi had been gathering intelligence. Ino-Shika-Chu was a familiar group to them, and four Sand Shinobi approached the Nara Clan Shinobi with Kunai in hand. However, suddenly, the four Shinobi stopped in their tracks, and their bodies became immobile.
They were surprised and confused until they realized that the Nara Clan Shinobi had extended their shadows with the help of the Makaro Akimichi shadow, rendering the Sand Shinobi.
They had some information, but they didn't understand these secret techniques.
In mere moments, two of them were controlled by the shadow imitation technique and turned on their own companions with their Kunai.
In that movement, Another Sand Shinobi began attacking his own comrades in the sand team, resulting in instantaneous death.
"Damn, Kenzo, what are you doing?"
A Sand Shinobi, who retreated behind him, asked incredulously.
He did not respond and continued to attack. The Sand team realized that it was the work of the Yamanaka Clan of Konoha but was unsure of its whereabouts.
" Yamanaka ninja Konoha? Damn it.... But where is he?"
