Naruto: From Novice to Grave

Chapter 313 - The Feudal Traditionalists and the Harmonious New Generation

Early on the 14th, at the Third Camp of the Ninja Alliance.

After a night's rest, everyone's spirits were not very high.

Although no battle broke out between the five great ninja villages yesterday, everyone was on edge for most of the day, in a state of high tension.

Even after a night's rest, I was not fully recovered.

After all, if you have people from other ninja villages around you, anyone would be on their guard and unable to sleep peacefully. Who knows if someone in the barracks might stab you while you're asleep?

This is an inherent tendency towards suspicion among ninjas, and it cannot be changed overnight.

After washing up, Konoha's Rock Jellyfish gazed in the direction of the headquarters and fell into reminiscence.

People in middle age inevitably reminisce about the past from time to time.

Who would have thought that the junior I met by the river in my childhood would grow into the current God of the Ninja World? Life is truly amazing.

He and his friends once tried to take over someone else's grilled fish.

Unfortunately, all three of my companions disappeared at that time, having perished in the Mist-Hidden Battlefield of the Third World War.

If they were still alive, how wonderful it would be to see the new and powerful Konoha of today.

Just then, a chaotic commotion arose in the camp he was in charge of.

Iwazawa rushed to the scene, pushed through the crowd of onlookers, and saw two young ninjas glaring at each other. If they hadn't been held back by their companions, they would have already drawn their kunai and opened fire.

One of them was from Konoha, and the other was from Kirigakure.

The people trying to break up the fight behind them were also from their respective villages. Although they were very restrained, they didn't give each other any friendly looks.

It could easily turn into a massive free-for-all.

The ninjas from the other three major ninja villages watched the spectacle from the sidelines. If a fight broke out, they would most likely join in and take advantage of the chaos, stabbing anyone they didn't like in the waist.

"What are you doing? Fei Liu, what's going on?"

A Konoha ninja named Hiyori replied, "Captain Iwasaki, that Kirigakure bastard doesn't watch where he's going. He bumped into people for no reason and didn't even apologize."

Iwazuru looked at the arrogant Mist Ninja: "Your name is Haiyu, right? Is what Feiliu said true?"

Haiyu: "So what if it is?"

"Didn't you know the order issued by command yesterday afternoon? The ninjas from different villages in the formation are not allowed to provoke each other! You started this, apologize."

"Sorry!" Out of respect for the Five Kage, Haiyu gave a perfunctory reply, then added sarcastically, "The people of Konoha are such cowards. They don't dare to make a move themselves, and all they do is call on the captain to take care of things?"

Fei Liu: "You foul-mouthed bastard, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Haiyu: "Come on, let's settle the score between my father and you Konoha."

"7

Fei Liu: "Are you Kirigakure innocent? My elder brother was killed by those bastards from Kirigakure in the last war. Your hands are stained with his blood."

The main combat force consists primarily of adult ninjas. Many of them either participated in the Third Shinobi World War themselves or had relatives who did so, so it's normal for them to have grudges against each other.

Even Iwazawa, the company commander of this unit, lost three of his childhood friends to Kirigakure in the last war.

Didn't he want to cut down all the Hidden Mist in front of him? Of course he did, he dreamed about it, and he definitely had the strength to do so now.

But he can't be so impulsive; it would put the Hokage and Shinichi in a difficult position.

So Iwagaku suppressed his hatred and roared, "No matter how much you dislike each other, we are now teammates, and the Akatsuki is our common enemy."

If anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, I can only send them to the temporary disciplinary department for a chat. Alright, everyone disperse.

Upon hearing the name of the Discipline Department, everyone reluctantly left.

Everyone knows that the five great ninja villages are enemies of each other, but Higashino and Minato still insisted on mixing them up.

This is a great opportunity for everyone to get to know and understand each other.

As for those guys whose minds are filled with hatred, the disciplinary departments formed by the secret police of each village will make them face reality.

Compared to the frequent skirmishes within the main combat units, the atmosphere in the rapid support units is much better.

It wasn't because they were few in number, but because the people assigned to this squad all had very special identities.

These people are generally young, mostly around the age of 18.

Konoha has the young generation including Naruto and Sasuke; Sunagakure has the new generation led by Gaara and his siblings; Iwagakure has the new generation led by Kurotsuchi; Kumogakure has the new generation led by Omoi and Karui; and the Kirigakure team has the new generation led by Hozuki Suigetsu, Chojuro, and Haku.

They are highly capable and are the future pillars that each village is vigorously cultivating.

Most importantly, they were basically opponents in the first joint Chunin Exams of the Five Villages. After being promoted to Chunin, they had frequent exchanges as staff members in the subsequent exams, and their relationship was quite good.

The hatred from the previous Shinobi World Wars did not show any significant continuation in these individuals.

The Chunin Exams, which started in Konoha, have become an annual mid-year event in the ninja world. However, its greatest value lies not in commerce, but in strengthening communication among the people of each village, especially the future backbone ninjas of the ninja villages.

The atmosphere is great right now that everyone is together.

Of course, the new generation of the four great ninja villages all carry some well-known missions.

Over the years, the strength of Konoha ninjas has generally been far superior to that of other ninja villages. After investigation, everyone knows that this is due to the widespread adoption of a brand-new training system.

Konoha has never deliberately concealed this fact; in fact, during each Joint Chunin Exam, they actively promoted the "True Sage System" and its significant impact on ninja strength.

All the facts indicate that the ninja system, which has lasted for thousands of years and was created by the Sage of Six Paths through the dissemination of chakra, is undergoing a quiet change.

Therefore, studying this power became the primary task for all the major ninja villages, since no one wanted to become a marginalized figure abandoned by the times.

Temari: "Hey, you lazybones, how could someone as unmotivated as you possibly learn that kind of sage technique?"

Shikamaru: "Well, it's troublesome, but there's no other way. If I don't learn it, my strength will be completely left behind by my comrades."

Kurotsuchi: "Damn it, I have no idea what you Konoha ninjas are doing. Do you really have natural energy suitable for humans?"

""

Omoi: "There must be one, but even if we knew about cultivating with natural energy, we still couldn't figure it out at all."

Neji: "It's safer if you can't find a clue. I suggest you don't cultivate recklessly. Natural energy is very dangerous; a slight mistake could kill you!"

Karui: "So dangerous? It feels like a beautiful trap set by Konoha."

Xiao Li was very unhappy after hearing this: "Are you questioning the greatness of Teacher Zhen? It's your own problem if you can't learn it. Teacher Zhen never intended to harm anyone."

Hozuki Suigetsu: "Hey, Sasuke, tell me quietly, is there some kind of trick to this?"

For some reason, this guy always seems to want to tease Sasuke, that cold-faced guy, for no reason at all.

Sasuke: "No, besides, you're too close to me!"

Naruto: "The secret is to sense natural energy and absorb it to continuously strengthen your body."

Water Moon:

'

What the hell is the difference between this and putting an elephant in a refrigerator in several steps?

If anyone knows the secret, it's definitely Tenten, because she's the only official disciple of Higashino Makoto, as everyone in the ninja world knows.

Bai, the little boy's mother, was very clear about this.

So he asked his former Chunin Exam rival, "Hey, Tenten, you must know where the problem lies, right?"

Even now, Tian Tian is still not used to looking at this overly beautiful face. She looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, you don't need to ask anymore. The main issue lies in the types and properties of natural energy."

The current situation is that cultivating the True Immortal system requires a suitable environment and guidance. Due to special reasons, my master worked hard for so many years to transform Konoha into the only suitable holy land for cultivating immortality.

As for when this situation will spread to the entire ninja world, that will take time. Everyone, please be patient and wait.

Temari: "Wait? When will that be? The ninja world is so big, it's not like we'll have to wait until we're old and dead before it becomes a suitable environment, is it?"

Shikamaru: "There's nothing I can do about it, but don't worry, cultivating the True Immortal system can lead to longevity, so by the time you die of old age, I'll probably still be alive."

If the circumstances are right, I will tell you when I commemorate you. I just don't know if you will be able to receive the message in the Pure Land.

Temari wanted to smash this guy to death with her fan: "Damn it, is that what I'm worried about?"

Kurotsuchi: "Oh dear, it seems there's no hope. I want to stay young forever, I don't want to become an old woman. I really envy you guys from Konoha."

Tian Tian smiled and said, "No need to be envious, there's a way."

Bai: "What method?"

Tenten: "If the ninja world weren't divided into so many factions, and everyone could gather in one place and become each other's comrades, wouldn't that be great?"

The younger generation in each village are not children, so of course they understand what Tiantian means.

If we don't distinguish between each other, wouldn't that mean unifying the ninja world?

It seems like there's still a lot of potential.

If the ninja world were unified under one power, would there be no more wars? Would everyone be able to learn the new training system?

Although it is difficult to realize, this idea is a seed planted in their hearts, and one day it will sprout and grow.

People gather for profit, and the powerful and long-lived True Immortal system is now the greatest profit.

What if you can't beat Higashino Shinichi? Then join him!
