Naruto: From Novice to Grave

As it turns out, having the advantage of foresight leads to accurate judgment of the situation, but even without the foresight, Higashino Makoto wouldn't have believed that Kirigakure would always be an honest person.

Among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure has puppets and poison; Iwagakure has quantity and group ninjutsu; Kumogakure has brute force and zero-dollar purchases; Konoha has... Konoha has a deep foundation, and at crucial moments, a god-like figure will always emerge.

What's the last of the Hidden Mist? They're insane, and they're very good at killing each other.

The most mysterious of the five great ninja villages, due to its extremely closed-off policy, very little information leaks out.

However, based on limited intelligence, they have been implementing some kind of Blood Mist Village policy internally. The pressure caused by the brutal struggle is about to explode. Rather than blow themselves up, they might as well blow up others.

At this moment, his four opponents were all wounded from the war and had no cards left in their hands, making it the perfect time to throw in bombs and double their gains.

Finally, a month after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, in August of Konoha 49, Kirigakure decided to join this enjoyable killing game.

They landed on the east coast of the Land of Fire and launched a brazen invasion of Konoha. In an instant, the east coast defense line collapsed, civilians were killed or injured and displaced, towns were destroyed, and the situation became extremely critical.

These madmen displayed an unparalleled bloodlust, as if their invasion was not for profit, but purely for the purpose of venting their bloodlust.

However, Konoha was no longer able to mobilize enough ninja troops from other fronts.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, convened a meeting of all the major clans overnight and came up with a final solution.

Close the door and release the Uchiha.

Using the Uchiha clan, skilled in Fire Release, to fight the Hidden Mist Village, skilled in Water Release, the Uchiha clan didn't care. Now was the perfect opportunity for the strongest ninja clan to gain merit. As for elemental advantage? What was that?

Therefore, with Uchiha ninjas as the main force and Hyuga ninjas as the secondary force, along with the resources of other clans, an emergency force was formed to go to the eastern front.

In order to replenish its strength, the village not only squeezed more civilian ninjas, but also threw many newbies who had graduated a few years ago into the battlefield.

Aside from leaving behind the basic forces to protect the village, all available manpower has been squeezed out. Fighting on multiple fronts has left Konoha with a severe shortage of troops.

Finally, in order to balance the competition between the two major powers in Konoha, the Third Hokage had no choice but to hand over the command of the eastern front to Orochimaru.

Although Iwagakure had agreed to make peace under pressure, no peace agreement was signed. In addition, with the attack from Kumogakure, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze were unable to leave.

Orochimaru had seen through everything long ago. Although his mind was no longer on the war, he did not refuse. On the contrary, he was happy to take on this responsibility. Compared to the Sand Village, which had a single bloodline, the Mist Village had far more bloodlines.

The Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), the Yuki clan's Ice Release, the Hozuki clan's Water Transformation Technique, the Mizuki clan's Human-Shark Body...

These are all excellent experimental materials.

Spalashi!!

The addition of Kirigakure has made the previously clearer situation of the Ninja War unpredictable once again.

Moreover, while invading Konoha, they also launched an attack in the southern seas, using the Tea Country peninsula as a springboard to set their sights on the wealthy coastal areas of the Wind Country.

Fans of Naruto from the previous generation speculated that Kirigakure invaded Sunagakure from the other side of the planet by crossing the ocean, thus starting a war between the two sides.

But that's unrealistic because it's too far away. The Earth, where the ninja world is located, is not small, and the five great nations plus the many smaller nations are almost all concentrated in a small area.

To invade Sunagakure, Kirigakure only needs to cross the Rainbow Sea to the west and then establish a base in the Land of Tea, where there are no ninja villages.

The Land of Tea is a vassal state of the Land of Fire, but Konoha is currently too busy to protect them.

As for heading east to the other side of the earth, it is not only far away, but also requires going around two other vast and desolate continents, one large and one small.

Those two continents were almost barren, with only a small number of humans living on them, and their power styles and cultural customs were completely different from those of the mainstream world.

The ninja world is not ancient; its navigation technology is advanced, so it is naturally familiar with that place. However, since those two continents offer little benefit, no country is interested in them.

As for why this happened, the people of the ninja world don't know. Curious explorers went there to study it before, but they never figured out the reason.

It is likely that only Kaguya Otsutsuki and her three sons who have lost their human form know the whole story.

Higashino Makoto had studied the geography of the ninja world and had a vague idea of ​​the answer.

It must have been drained by the Divine Tree, and the location of the various countries in the ninja world is the last source of life on this planet. Even so, the vast majority of the largest country, the Land of Wind, is an endless desert.

Otherwise, what do you think the Otsutsuki clan came to the ninja world to plant trees for? To create forests?

Enraged by the inexplicable attack from Kirigakure, Sunagakure immediately dispatched its forces, with Pakura as commander, to deliver a crushing blow to these madmen.

If I can't beat Konoha, I can still beat Kirigakure?

Fire Release is countered by Water Release? Yekura says, "I use Scorch Release, and I guarantee to provide you with a one-stop mummy service from sauna to drying."

In an instant, countless Hidden Mist ninjas enjoyed a dry and refreshing feeling they had never experienced before, and the Third Shinobi World War, which had been showing signs of stabilizing, descended into chaos once again.

----------

The chaotic war continues.

Kirigakure thought Konoha was exhausted and unable to resist their sudden invasion, but their joy was short-lived. They were soon brutally beaten by Konoha troops led by the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

Attribute advantage? The Uchiha ninja says that as long as you are strong enough, attribute advantage will not affect the overall situation.

The Hyuga clan uses the Hidden Mist Technique to obscure their vision, demonstrating that they have nowhere to hide from the Byakugan.

The Hidden Mist ninjas immediately became like those from other ninja villages, hating these people with X-ray vision, but also wanting it too. So they started secretly plotting to get the Byakugan and began searching the battlefield for any members of the Hyuga main clan.

In an attempt to turn the tide of the battle, they unleashed their strongest trump card: the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Seven powerful ninjas, each with distinct appearances and personalities and wielding different bizarre weapons, began to hunt freely on the eastern front.

They were unwilling to submit to each other yet competed with one another, treating the war as a purely enjoyable game.

Even if they encounter a rookie squad from Konoha, the seven of them can play with them like cats and mice for a long time, and in the end they will often turn on each other over who gets the prey.

Killing efficiency? Mizukage's orders? Screw that.

Then they encountered a weirdo genin wearing a green bodysuit, and were beaten into a trio of misfortunes, some of whom fled and others betrayed them.

In October of Konoha 49, Might Guy was killed in battle.

The Konoha leadership was overjoyed. They never expected such a good thing. They had exchanged the life of just one genin for four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. It was an incredible bargain.

At the same time, they also began to pay attention to the forbidden technique of the Eight Gates. After research, they found that this thing was really not something that humans could practice. It took an extremely long time. Without extremely high physical talent and ultimate patience, one might not achieve results even after decades of practice, and it was easy to kill oneself. It was completely unsuitable for all occasions.

Fortunately, as the inheritor of this technique, Might Guy received the village's special attention.

Matt Dae not only greatly relieved the pressure on the Eastern Front with his own life, but also kicked a future for his son.

Time flew by amidst the flames of war, and soon a new year arrived.

Undeterred, the Hidden Mist Village, under the control of certain wills, secretly prepared a powerful move: they planned to release the Three-Tails into Konoha Village.

The result was still a failure; apart from the death of a worthless female medical ninja from Konoha, they achieved nothing.

Not only that, Kirigakure temporarily lost the Three-Tails and almost all of the Anbu's top fighters, suffering a huge loss.

But these people didn't know that, under the arrangement of someone with ulterior motives, they personally destroyed the light of an Uchiha boy, turning a kind child into a completely evil one, and from then on, he became the operation director of the Ring-within-a-Ring Conspiracy City.

At the end of February in Konoha Year 50, Konoha ninja Nohara Rin died in battle.

The person who killed him was: Konoha ninja Kakashi Hatake.

The glimmer of hope that had just begun to emerge was once again extinguished. He knew that his teammates had used him to commit suicide in order to thwart the Hidden Mist's plot.

But that's what made him even more miserable. Even Lin, who was of average strength, had a stronger belief and more courage than him.
