Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 301: The Establishment of the Watergate Class

Tamura Hao is enjoying his newlywed life here, while recovering his body and adapting to his new light escape technique, and working on the transformation of gravitational repulsion.

The Ninja World War is also slowly heating up, and all the major ninja villages have begun mobilizing for war.

After two years of small-scale probing, Konoha seemed to be ready and started a war first.

Konoha made an unexpected but reasonable strategic plan. It directly came out in full force and led 20,000 ninja troops northward to attack the Hidden Cloud Village. It seemed that they wanted to set the main battlefield here, and did not want to be led by the nose like the last Ninja World War.

No one knows what method Sarutobi Hiruzen used, but Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi both went into battle and almost drained Konoha's combat power.

At the same time, Uchiha Obito, who was secretly followed by Tamura Hao and Black Zetsu, also graduated and joined Namikaze Minato's team.

The reason for paying attention to him is because Uchiha Madara paid attention to this young man, and the reason why Uchiha Madara paid attention to him was that Uchiha Obito was the kindest among the current young generation of Uchiha, and he also had a secret crush. As long as he controlled it well, it would not be difficult to awaken the Mangekyo.

"Let's introduce ourselves to each other. I'll go first."

Minato Namikaze brought two new students to a training ground and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Namikaze Minato, my strength is 4S level, I like Ichiraku fast food, I don't hate anything for now, my ideal is to become Hokage and protect the village."

"Level 4S? Didn't the teacher at the Ninja School say that the strongest is at the Kage level? What is Level S?"

Uchiha Obito was puzzled. Although he was a poor student, he still knew basic common sense.

Facing the doubts of the students, Namikaze Minato explained patiently: "S-level is a detailed division of Kage-level. S-level corresponds to the previous Kage-level, which means practicing the changes of chakra properties to the limit and thoroughly mastering at least one ninjutsu system.

Double S-level means possessing or cultivating blood limit, or possessing powerful secret techniques such as senjutsu.

The third S level is a bloodline elimination with three attributes, which is a bloodline power higher than the bloodline limit.

Teacher, I possess the three-attribute bloodline elimination light escape, and I have also mastered fairy arts and some other powerful powers, so my overall strength is at level four S.

Okay, now that this question has been answered, it's your turn to introduce yourselves. Ji Feng, you go first."

Moonlight Gale, holding a long sword, said indifferently: "My name is Moonlight Gale, I am good at swordsmanship, and my hobby is practicing swordsmanship. I am currently a special jonin. I don't have any special likes or dislikes. My ideal is to destroy the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Amazing!"

Nohara Lin next to her couldn't help but exclaimed. She was not unfamiliar with the name Gekko Hayate. She was the only one who graduated early in the past two years, and graduated when she was less than seven years old. She didn't expect that she would become a Jonin in just two years.

That's a Jonin!

This shock and a little bit of admiration made Uchiha Obito on the other side immediately unhappy, and he glared at the cool boy with hostility.

"My name is Nohara Rin. I like eating strawberries and don't like thickly cooked seafood. My hobby is collecting shells. My dream is to become a medical ninja like Tsunade-sama."

After looking at the little brother beside her for a while, Nohara Rin introduced herself, and then Uchiha Obito came last.

"My name is Uchiha Obito. I have a wide range of preferences and no taboos. I didn't hate anything before, but now I do."

At the end of his speech, Uchiha Obito glared at the kid over there, looking very unhappy.

I felt even more unhappy after comparing the heights of both parties. He was only nine years old, so how could he be taller than me?

Is this medication?

Gekko Hayate noticed Uchiha Obito's hostility, but ignored it.

There's no need to pay attention to a piece of trash who just walked out of a ninja school, even if he's an Uchiha.

He has grown a lot in the past two years. Under the guidance of Teacher Minato, he has fully mastered the power transplanted in his body, especially the power of the corpse bone vein, which has made his body grow faster. Now his body shape and size are no worse than that of a twelve or thirteen year old child, which is more conducive to the performance of his swordsmanship.

He didn't even need to draw his sword to deal with the two men beside him.

"It seems that our team will be very dynamic in the future."

Minato Namikaze smiled. He naturally saw the changes in Uchiha Obito and thought it was a good thing.

Although Ji Feng has changed a little in the past two years under his guidance, he is still immersed in revenge in his heart.

Maybe it's because the age difference between them is too big and there is a generation gap, so some things are hard to say. It would be good to have two more teammates with a similar age gap.

"Minato-sensei, I have a question for you."

At this time, Nohara Lin raised her hand, indicating that she had some questions to ask.

"Just ask."

Namikaze Minato smiled gently and gestured to the girl to ask.

"I discovered a problem before. There are many conflicts between the job titles and strength divisions in our ninja system. I asked the teacher, but the teacher didn't answer me. He just told me not to ask again in the future."

Nohara Lin expressed her doubts. It was nothing at first, but the attitudes of those teachers made her even more curious.

This question made Minato Namikaze's face freeze, and he almost couldn't maintain the gentle smile on his face.

How should he answer this question?

Could it be that the new system division comes from those pornographic masterpieces?

The previous ninja system was divided more into job titles. For example, Sensei Jiraiya was just an elite jonin.

But since those nine supreme writers changed their writing styles one after another and started writing novels, this kind of detailed division has emerged, which is more inclined to strength rather than title.

Coupled with the influence of the war, in order to better understand the strength of oneself and the opponent, this division was tacitly accepted and spread more and more widely.

Now even the shadow level has been divided into detailed categories, which is also driven by war.

After all, the strength displayed at the end of the last Ninja World War was far beyond our understanding, so these super strong men naturally had to be further divided.

Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, Minato Namikaze still gave a simple answer.

"That's because in the past, Genin, Chuunin, Jonin, and even Kage were more of a job title, a comprehensive ability classification, but now due to the impact of the war, it is more inclined towards physical combat power.

Because it has only become popular in recent years, there will inevitably be some conflicts with the previous classification of job titles, but it will be resolved in a few years. "

"That's all for today. You can get to know each other over the next few days. Then come back here in three days to take my practical test. If your performance is not good enough, I will apply to have you sent back to the Ninja School for another year.

This includes you, Hayate. You are still a long way from being a true ninja. Communicating and cooperating more with your teammates will be very beneficial to your future growth. You alone cannot destroy the Hidden Cloud Village."

After saying that, without waiting for the three to speak again, Minato Namikaze performed the Flying Thunder God Technique and left, worried that they would ask any more embarrassing questions.

"I know the Ichiraku fast food that Minato-sensei mentioned. It's delicious. Do you want to go get some?"

Nohara Lin spoke first. She was smart and knew that the real war was about to begin and that they would most likely go to the battlefield in the future.

Fighting alone on the battlefield is not the way to go, it requires teamwork, and the teachers at the ninja school have emphasized this many times.

His team should be much safer with a strong man like Minato Sensei leading and guiding them, and a powerful ninja like Hayate accompanying them, but teamwork still needs to be emphasized.

I can't say how well we do, but at least we can't fall behind.

"Of course I want to go!"

Uchiha Obito responded without thinking, and even had a blush on his face.

This counts as a date with Lin.

"Ok!"

Gekko Hayate originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought of what Minato teacher said at the end, he agreed.

This response made Uchiha Obito unhappy. I'm dating Rin, why are you here?

Not to mention the conflicts within this small team, the other three ninja villages are discussing Konoha's strategic decision this time.

In the Sand Village, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa convened a high-level meeting to discuss Konoha's intentions.

"Konoha has figured out our intentions. Although the Four Village Alliance still exists, the Hidden Cloud Village is much stronger than our three major ninja villages, especially in terms of high-end combat power.

The losses of the Hidden Cloud Village were the smallest in the last Ninja World War. If we place the main battlefield there, the Hidden Cloud Village can become the main force, and we only need to lead some elite troops to provide support.

In this way, Konoha can gather its forces in one place without any worries, which will be more advantageous for them, and it will also weaken the strongest opponent, the Hidden Cloud Village. This will be beneficial for both this Ninja World War and the future."

Chiyo made an analysis and realized that Konoha was using an open conspiracy, and it would be useless even if they saw through it.

Attacking Konoha and weakening the Hidden Cloud Village are both important to them. It would be perfect if they could reduce both to the same level as them. Everyone nodded in agreement with this analysis, and they also hoped to move the battlefield to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Of course, in order to maintain the existence of the Four Village Alliance and weaken Konoha to the maximum extent, the reinforcements they send must be strong enough.

"I will lead the team myself this time, and the ten members of Sunagakure will accompany me, and we will gather three thousand ninja troops for support."

After some discussion, Luo Sha finally made the decision.

Support is necessary and it must be strong enough.

Fortunately, the village has developed well in recent years, has recovered its damaged vitality, and a new generation of ninjas has also grown up.

Seeing that Luosha made the decision, no one objected. After continuing to discuss some details, they left one after another. In the end, only Luosha Chiyo and Ebizo were left.

"Fourth Hokage, this war may be more intense and cruel than the last Ninja World War. Be careful of being targeted, especially by Sarutobi Hiruzen. He is even more dangerous after his false disguise is torn off.

At the same time, this will still be a war of attrition, keeping more talented players as sparks, we lost too many last time. "

Ebizo sighed and reminded Luosha to be more careful.

The last time, the Sand Village suffered heavy losses. The third generation was killed in the battle, and they also lost the even more powerful Ye Cang, and the younger generation suffered even more casualties.

Up to now, only the number of ninjas has been restored, but the quality is much worse than before. It still relies on the gains from the last Ninja World War, such as the transplantation of bloodline ninja organs, and there are more or less some problems.

The high-end combat power is entirely supported by Rasa and the ten tailed beast jinchuriki. Among the five major ninja villages today, it is only slightly better than the Hidden Mist Village.

"I'll pay attention."

Nodding solemnly, Luo Sha was naturally aware of the danger of this battle. Even with his current strength, he could not guarantee that he could hold on to the end.

But this battle must be fought. Konoha recovered too quickly, and the Hidden Cloud Village's improvement speed was also astonishing. This war must be used to drastically weaken the two major ninja villages.

Otherwise, as the two become more powerful, they will leave the Sand Village far behind, and then they will be in danger.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is the most dangerous. He stole the body of the Sandaime, so he must have been resurrected and taken control.

The Sandaime knows you and the village very well, and it would be very dangerous if he were to target you."

Chiyo also gave a warning, and was equally wary and hateful of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"If Sarutobi Hiruzen dares to use Sensei in this battle, I will definitely take Sensei away from him."

Luo Sha was equally angry. He would never allow his teacher to be blasphemed and exploited in that way.

Moreover, he also had the confidence to win back his teacher. In the past few years, he specialized in the study of sealing techniques. He also discovered that the chakra of the One-Tail itself had a very strong sealing effect. In addition, the large range of the Magnetic Escape could just restrain the army of the dead.

"Just do your best, don't force it, otherwise you will be more vulnerable to the other party's calculations."

Ebizo warned, then sighed again.

"Unfortunately, after the blow of the last Ninja World War, Konoha has become more united. Even if it is only superficial unity, it makes it difficult for us to find an opportunity to break through from within."

In the last Ninja World War, the overall strength displayed by Konoha actually surpassed that of the four major ninja villages as a whole. It was because of Konoha's internal strife that they found the opportunity to gradually weaken it.

The Hidden Cloud Village swallowed up the elite of the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop, the Hyuga clan was also devastated, and the elite of the Senju clan was even destroyed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's a pity that Konoha cannot be destroyed."

Rasa was most unhappy about this. Konoha's strategic arrangement was very clear. It would send the living people to the north to fight, while Sarutobi Hiruzen would lead the army of the dead to guard Konoha.

With that huge army of the dead at hand, it would be almost impossible to break through Konoha.

Not to mention the threat of Minato Namikaze, this Ninja World War will ultimately end up as a war of attrition, weakening Konoha's potential.

"Konoha has to face many problems. Judging from the results of the Rain Country investigation, the blue Susanoo is very likely Uchiha Madara from the past, and there is also a mysterious strong man.

Those two are destined to be Konoha's enemies, and they might even intervene in this Ninja World War."

Chiyo talked about the results of the investigation into the destruction of the Hidden Rain Village. Although they were only scattered information and intelligence, when integrated together they would allow them to know what kind of battle had taken place there.

“They are all too strong.”

Speaking of that kind of strong man, Luo Sha now feels powerless.

That kind of strong man is beyond their ability to deal with, and it is difficult to match him even in the desert.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. There will always be strong people to deal with those strong people."

Chiyo consoled him, she also felt powerless against such a strong man.

After communicating for a while, the three of them dispersed. Luo Sha came to the Kazekage's office and looked at the Sand Village through the window, but his heart was full of unwillingness.

He had been paying attention to the Hidden Cloud Village and naturally knew about the reforms and changes that had taken place there. Not only had the authority of the Third Raikage been greatly enhanced, but the village was also developing rapidly.

He also wanted to implement such reforms in the Sand Village, but unfortunately it was not realistic.

This was because there were many ninjas in the Kazekage faction to which he belonged, and even among the ten members of the Sand Village that he had chosen, there were some who were of ninja origin.

Since their foundation is the power of the ninja clan, it is naturally difficult to reform and disband the ninja clan.

As for using force, he does not have the absolute strength of the Third Raikage to suppress everything.

Over the years, many policies have been rejected by high-level ninja representatives, including the two advisors Chiyo and Ebizo.

After all, everyone is selfish and biased. There are very few people who are truly dedicated to the public.

In the end, they could only watch Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village grow rapidly and become stronger, leaving the Hidden Sand Village further and further behind. It was a very painful feeling.

The same thing happened in the Iwagakure Village. The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki made the same decision as Rasa and led his troops to provide support.

It is better to put the battlefield on the side of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning than here. At that time, the Hidden Cloud Village will suffer the most losses, and this is exactly what he wants to see.

"Dad, isn't it too risky to go all out like this?"

Huang Tu was a little worried. Not only would he have to go, but his father would go with him, so the village would be without its top fighting force.

"This time, Konoha is not that easy to defeat. We must use all our strength. Besides, both of us have the Five Tails sealed in our bodies. If we are left alone, we will definitely be targeted.

At the same time, it would be safer for the village if we left together.

We don't want to perish together, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men certainly don't dare to do so either, so the war will all be concentrated on the battlefield."

Ohnoki has clear and calm thinking and knows how to choose to minimize the risks.

At the beginning, he and his son sealed the Five-Tails together. The original Five-Tails Jinchuriki could not withstand the erosion of the Five-Tails' chakra, and in the end only the newly grown tail of the Five-Tails remained in his body to maintain the seal.

Konoha already has six tailed beasts, and they will definitely target the remaining three. The best option for the father and son is to leave the village.

Then, Konoha will be more difficult to defeat this time. If we don't use our full strength, we will probably be defeated, and the consequences will be more serious.

Therefore, weakening Konoha is the first priority, and then looking for an opportunity to weaken the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Is this the only way to keep consuming it?"

Huangtu really didn't want to fight like this. In the last Ninja World War, their village had lost nearly ten thousand ninjas, and it was unknown how many would be lost this time.

And this will not be the end. This Ninja World War is still mainly aimed at weakening the enemy. The next Ninja World War will still break out, and it is estimated that it will still become a war of attrition.

This cycle keeps going on and on, when will it ever end?

"This is the true side of the ninja world. We were all deceived by the first Hokage."

Thinking back to the performance of the first Hokage at the first Five Kage Summit, Ōnoki felt so angry that his teeth ached.

At the beginning, I thought that the first Hokage was very sincere and truly loved peace and hated war.

As a result, it was not until the last Ninja World War when Konoha showed so much strength that people realized how terrifying Konoha was. It had already distanced itself far from other ninja villages, and even the four major ninja villages combined could not defeat it, and could only barely end up in a draw.

If this continues, Konoha will only become stronger and stronger until it completely surpasses them, and then everything will be over.

This is when Konoha was experiencing internal strife and internal friction. If Konoha was in the state of the first Hokage's rule, the power that could be unleashed would be truly unimaginable.

It is really hard to imagine that an upright person with thick eyebrows and big eyes like the First Hokage could have such a dirty and deep heart. No wonder he was able to defeat Uchiha Madara.
