Chapter 103 Igniting the Line of War (Please Subscribe and Vote)
Genichi and the others stayed at the border for nearly half a month before returning to Konoha.

The training was still handled by the shadow clone. Genichi Shushita took advantage of his free time during the holiday, and Shizune was also there, so he served as her sparring partner to train Shizune's physical combat skills.

Even if it's not that great, it should at least have some self-defense capabilities to complement its super strength; otherwise, all the training in super strength would be for nothing.

"Okay, that's all for now. Let's take a break."

Seeing that Shizune was covered in sweat, panting heavily, and had exhausted all her strength, Xuan Yi under the tree stopped and ended his training session.

Silently sat down on the ground.

Genichi went to a tree not far away to get some salt and sugar water to give to Shizune to replenish her fluids.

Once Jingyin caught her breath, she took out a strip of paper that looked like a bandage, covered with incantations forming a complex spell.

"You can roll this up on your wrist as a wristband, and you don't need to take it off when you take a shower."

Genichi Shushita spoke while operating on Shizune's left wrist.

Shizune put down her water glass and asked curiously, "What's this?"

Xuan Yi under the tree: "Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Shizune's eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Xuan Yi, you've mastered it so quickly!"

Under the tree, Xuan Yi chuckled: "A preliminary cultivation is complete. After all, I am a genius!"

Shizune had long been a big fan of Genichi Shushita, and nodded repeatedly, completely believing this nonsense.

After wrapping the talisman bandages properly, Genichi Shuxia smiled and said, "That way, I can teleport directly to your side in the future."

Jingyin blushed and nodded, feeling a warm glow in her heart, as if she were soaking in a hot spring.

"Xuanyi!"

"Emergency mission!"

Moonlight and Flowing Breeze appeared on a tree not far away.

Shuxia Xuan stood up: "Understood!"

They had only rested for three days.

Jingyin was a little reluctant, but still smiled and said, "Xuanyi, you go ahead, I'll go back by myself!"

Genichi touched Shizune's smooth, short hair, nodded, and smiled, "I'll leave a clone to continue your cultivation!"

He then created a shadow clone to remain behind before leaping away.

Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Genichi under the tree and said, "Genichi, as you probably know, the Sand Village's recent actions have been somewhat unusual. I'm afraid there's a very serious situation within their ranks."

"Therefore, I need you to infiltrate Sunagakure and gather intelligence."

If it weren't for the fact that Genichi Kinoshita had previously infiltrated the relatively isolated Kirigakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't have had this idea.

But Sunagakure's actions were astonishingly large, almost like they were going crazy.

Since Genichi Kinoshita has this infiltration ability, we must find out what exactly happened in Sunagakure.

Given the current tense situation in the ninja world, the situation in Sunagakure will inevitably lead to changes in the overall situation of the ninja world.

Intelligence is very important.

Genichi Kishita understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention and nodded, "Understood!"

He certainly knew about the situation in Sunagakure, but he couldn't say it now.

Therefore, it's still necessary to make a trip to Sunagakure.

Upon exiting the Hokage Building, Genichi Kishita immediately ordered the three waiting Akimichi Dohira: "Land of Wind!"

"Yes!"

The four of them simultaneously used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to disappear.

This time, Xuan Yi led the team alone under the tree, and infiltration missions do not require a large number of people.

That evening, Genichi and his three companions rested on the border of the River Country.

"This mission is to infiltrate Sunagakure and gather intelligence."

Genichi Shushita introduces the mission details for the first time.

"Captain, is it because of the recent actions of Sunagakure?" asked Yueguang Liufeng.

Xuan nodded under the tree: "That's right."

"The infiltration mission doesn't require too many people, so you just need to meet me at the border of the Wind Kingdom."

Sarutobi Sankage hesitated, "Isn't this... too far?"

"How about we lie in wait near Sunagakure and provide backup?"

Akimichi-do and Gekko Ryufu both nodded in agreement.

Genichi Shushita took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai and handed it to Yueguang Liufeng: "Liufeng, this is a Kunai that I marked. If there is any danger, it will teleport you here immediately."

Akimichi Tou was startled: "The Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Sarutobi Sankage and Gekko Hayate were both taken aback; they had never heard of this technique before.

Under the tree, Xuan Yi nodded: "It is the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Akimichi Tou was relieved: "In that case, there's no problem."

"I didn't expect that you, Captain, also mastered this Instantaneous Movement Technique."

The three Sarutobi Kage couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything different about this Body Flicker Technique?"

Akimichi Tou laughed and said, "You know Minato Namikaze, right?"

"The Yellow Flash earned its name from this Flying Thunder God Technique, which boasts unparalleled speed!"

He had worked on missions with Minato Namikaze before, so he knew the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Sarutobi Sankage and the other two suddenly realized what was happening, and Gekko Ryufu quickly put away the kunai.

Silent all night.

The next day, the group crossed the River Country, while Akimichi Toshihiro and his two companions remained at the border to lie in wait for their turn.

Genichi under the tree formed hand seals and used a summoning technique to summon the tiger-headed eagle. He then rode the tiger-headed eagle into the Land of Wind from high above, which was much better than eating sand on the ground and was also faster.

As evening fell, Genichi looked at the Sand Village, which lay prostrate like wild beasts in the distance, and immediately had the Tiger-Headed Eagle land on a mushroom-shaped stone pillar.

"Go!"

After sending a burst of chakra to the tiger-headed eagle and feeding it a few soldier pills, Genichi Shushita released the summoning.

Swish!
After inserting a Flying Thunder God kunai into the stone pillar, Genichi Shushita's figure disappeared from the stone pillar.

The perimeter of Sunagakure was not lacking in security, but it was like a decoration to Genichi Kinoshita, who easily bypassed it with genjutsu.

Genichi Kinoshita, now an ordinary person, walked the streets of Sunagakure without feeling any tension.

That's normal; the disappearance of the Kazekage must be kept secret.

If it's already to the point that even ordinary villagers in Sunagakure know about it, then Konoha wouldn't need him to infiltrate and gather intelligence.

But intelligence cannot remain a secret forever.

After wandering around for a while, Genichi Shushita had dinner and then found a secluded spot to bury a Flying Thunder God kunai.

Afterwards, he transformed into a Sand Ninja and went to the vicinity of the Kazekage Building. In an alley, he inserted the Flying Thunder God Kunai into the stone wall until it was completely submerged.

Ever since mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, Genichi Shushita has taken to planting eyes, just in case.

After inserting the eye, Genichi Kishita transformed into a Sand Ninja Jonin and entered the Kazekage Building.

At this moment, the Kazekage Building appeared empty. Genichi Shushita silently integrated his chakra into the moisture in the air, allowing his sensory tentacles to gradually spread throughout the entire Kazekage Building.

He soon arrived at the outside of a conference room and listened intently.

Inside the meeting room were high-ranking members of Sunagakure, led by Chiyo and Ebizo.

With the Third Kazekage gone, these people are now in charge of the overall situation.

"There's still no news from Fengying; something has probably really happened."

"We must prepare for the worst."

"Should a new Wind Shadow be elected?"

Who is the right choice?

...Listening to the discussions, Chiyo said in a deep voice, "If something really happens to the Kazekage, that would be the most serious thing!"

"If the Wind Shadow is dead, then who did it?"

"Therefore, we must find the Wind Shadow, even if it's just his corpse."

"We must find out where the enemy is, otherwise, what will become of the new Kazekage's safety?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and then nodded in agreement.

However, someone else then said, "Of course, we still need to do our best to find the Third Kazekage, but we also need to consider the new Kazekage in advance to avoid the village falling into chaos."

"The disappearance of the third generation cannot be hidden for long."

Chiyo nodded: "Then let's first determine the candidates for the Fourth Kazekage."

"This matter should not be publicized, lest it cause unnecessary panic."

Ebizo and other high-ranking members of the Sunagakure faction nodded in agreement.

Outside the conference room.

Genichi Shushita sensed someone approaching the conference room and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from his spot.

In a secluded spot somewhere in Sunagakure, Genichi appeared silently under a tree.

"This kind of environment has a big impact on my perception; the air is too dry."

Genichi frowned slightly under the tree.

Of course, he can now transform his chakra into water vapor through water-style nature transformation and integrate it into the air, spreading rapidly through the air like ink.

However, the environment still affects the speed of diffusion and the accuracy of perception.

"It seems that the Heavenly Water Boundless Technique is not perfect either."

Genichi's figure disappeared again and then reappeared on a stone pillar outside Sunagakure.

"Relying on water to sense things isn't enough, so let's add wind..."

Under the tree, Genichi found his direction.

What is wind?
The movement of air is wind!
With wind and water combined, the speed, range, and accuracy of perception will surely increase dramatically, and the impact of the environment will be greatly reduced.

"Also, find an opportunity to study Minato's sensory ninjutsu as well."

After thinking it over, Genichi under the tree began to ponder the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.

He naturally knew that it was Sasori of the Red Sand who killed the Third Kazekage and turned him into a puppet.

Based on the timeline, Sasori of the Red Sand should have assassinated the Third Kazekage about half a month ago.

Has Sasori of the Red Sand already turned the Third Kazekage into a puppet?

Even if it is completed, the puppet must retain some of its physical tissue.

Find Sasori of the Red Sand and steal the corpse of the Third Kazekage for research.

Genichi Shushita wasn't trying to see if he could match the style of the Third Kazekage again.

He has now given up on the idea of ​​transplantation and instead studied Orochimaru, trying to decipher the inner mysteries of bloodline limits through research, and then attempting to train on his own.

After all, the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release was also developed through studying the One-Tailed Beast.

"However, it will be a bit difficult to find Sasori of the Red Sand. I don't know his chakra status right now."

"This matter will probably take more than a day or two to accomplish; it seems we'll have to wait and see later."

Genichi under the tree formed hand seals, summoned the tiger-headed eagle, and headed straight for the Land of Rivers that very night.

However, along the way, he would occasionally have the tiger-headed eagle land near oases and bury the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

They were busy all the way and didn't meet up with Akimichi Tou and the others until dawn.

The three members of Akimichi and Toshiro were somewhat surprised that Genichi Kishita had returned so quickly.

Genichi Shushita didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "The Third Kazekage of Sunagakure has gone missing!"

what?
The three people from Akimichido were all shocked.

"This...is this too exaggerated?"

Sarutobi Sankage was incredulous.

A ninja village's Kage!

They've actually disappeared! This is... utterly outrageous!
After his initial shock, the usually composed Akimichi Tou said in a deep voice, "No wonder Sunagakure is making such a big move."

"Captain, what happened to Kazekage? Was he assassinated?"

Genichi Shushita: "This is also what Sunagakure wants to know right now."

"Currently, Feng Ying is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead."

"Tangdong, Sanying, you two set off immediately to return to the village and report this information to the Third Hokage. I will rest for half a day before setting off with Liufeng."

Akimichi Tōtō and the three Sarutobi Kage immediately obeyed the order and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

The two traveled at top speed and arrived in Konoha at 8 p.m. that evening. They immediately sought an audience with Hiruzen Sarutobi and practically dragged him from his home back to the Hokage Building.

"The Wind Shadow has disappeared?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also taken aback after hearing the report.

So unexpected.

After all, the Shadow is often the strongest person in the village.

There is also a Shadow Guard.

It's unbelievable that the Sand Village ninjas searched the entire world for him after he went missing.

But in an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed down and said, "You've worked hard, go back and rest!"

"Yes, Third Hokage!"

Akimichi Tō and the three Sarutobi Kage immediately took their leave.

After pondering for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately sent someone to fetch Danzo.

Upon learning of the Third Kazekage's disappearance, Danzo immediately became excited: "Hiruzen, Sunagakure is now leaderless and has spent a lot of manpower searching for the Third Kazekage. The village must be very vulnerable. This is a perfect opportunity!"

war!

war!

He, Danzang, needs war!
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "We cannot be the first to start a war, otherwise Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure may take the opportunity to attack us."

"Danzo, you are responsible for leaking the news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance to the other three ninja villages."

Danzo frowned at first, but then nodded: "I understand."

"Let the other three villages weaken Sunagakure's power first."

"Heh, those warmongers from Kumogakure will definitely not let such a good opportunity slip by."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, not as optimistic as Danzo.

War is inevitable; he is merely delaying Konoha's entry into the war while weakening potential future enemies as much as possible.

……

Genichi Kinoshita returned to Konoha around 9 a.m. the next day and immediately went to the Hokage's office to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Xuan Yi, thank you for your hard work. You did a great job on this mission."

Hiruzen Sarutobi first praised him with a gentle smile, then, without giving Genichi Kinoshita a chance to be modest, asked, "What do you think about the Kazekage's disappearance?"

Watch quietly.

Genichi Kishita inwardly scoffed, but a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He then said, "Our village has always been opposed by the other four great ninja villages because we are the strongest."

"So, while the disappearance of the Kazekage may seem to have created a major weakness in Sunagakure, it is a poisoned fruit for us."

"I think the value of this intelligence lies not in us, but in the other three major ninja villages."

"This is a great opportunity for them."

"For us, weakening the other four major ninja villages is a very worthwhile thing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked pleased and said, "Go and rest. Be prepared at any time."

"understand!"

Xuan nodded under the tree, then vanished in an instant.
