Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

As they chatted, Yugen and Kohinata Shingen gradually developed a sense of mutual appreciation and regret for not having met sooner.

We are all struggling, low-level ninjas, and we share similar circumstances and mindsets.

After the two talked for a while, the third teammate jogged over. Before he even arrived, a sigh mixed with regret could be heard:

"I made a mistake. The two of you actually arrived before me. I was so careless."

"..."

Yu Xian's eyes widened because the newcomer was so distinctive. Regardless of what he looked like, his green clothes alone made him hard to ignore.

Is it Matt Damon? Why is he on the front lines?

Yu Xian was increasingly confused. What exactly was going on with this team?

"Eternal Genin" Might Guy, isn't he just someone who usually only performs basic, low-risk missions within Konoha, the so-called menial tasks...?

Matt Daly is only in his early twenties now, and he doesn't even have a beard; he's truly in the prime of his youth.

His physical skills were certainly very strong, but in the eyes of Konoha's management, he was useless.

No, Yu Xian thought about his own situation. He used to be so bad, but he was still sent to the battlefield. It seems quite normal for Might Guy to go to the battlefield too.

"Gentlemen, it seems the cold rain of the Land of Rain hasn't extinguished the flames of youth in you both... I'm Might Guy from the 11th Squad. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Might Guy-senpai. I'm Genin Kohinata Shingen, and this is Chunin Hagen," Kohinata Shingen said, seemingly keeping up with Might Guy's pace.

Yu Xian was speculating about the extent to which Might Guy had mastered the Eight Gates at his age. Opening all eight gates? That seemed unlikely. What about seven gates? That also seemed quite far-fetched.

In fact, Might Guy volunteered to come to the front line. His reasons for wanting to fight were very practical. He had the noble and righteous idea of ​​protecting Konoha, and he also had the simple idea of ​​wanting to help his family. The most important thing was that the mission rewards he had earned in Konoha were simply not enough.

His son, Matt Kai, has been born, and he needs more money to raise him.

After a brief introduction, Kohinata Shingen asked Might Guy, "Guy-senpai, let's get to know each other. What are you good at?"

"Me? What are you good at? If you ask me, I'd say hand-to-hand combat." Might Guy flashed his signature smile and then gave his two teammates a thumbs up.

So, all three ninjas in the team are taijutsu-type ninjas? What kind of primitive team is this? So far, it seems that Yugen has the most diverse attack methods.

Although the captain had not yet appeared, for some reason Yu Xian already had a bad feeling.

"Wait, isn't our team supposed to be on a reconnaissance mission? Don't you have reconnaissance or sensory abilities, Kohizaki-senpai?"

"Just call me Mantra. I'm not a reconnaissance type, nor am I a sensory type ninja."

"Looks like we can only rely on the captain."

But after a while, when the captain appeared, Yu Xian's premonition came true.

The good news is that the captain has reconnaissance abilities; the bad news is that the captain is a close-range perception type, and his perception method is quite unique... He doesn't rely on sight or perception, but on his sense of smell.

This captain didn't come alone; he had a dog with him, or, in technical terms, a "ninja dog."

The captain is a ninja from the Inuzuka clan. Regardless of how the sensory abilities of ninja dogs compare to those of ninjas, the Inuzuka clan's fighting style, while not universally known, is still fundamentally consistent despite its variations.

In other words, with the addition of this captain, all four members of this squad are taijutsu-type ninjas... It's truly a gathering of primitive people; the team is completely unbalanced.

"Is everyone here? I'm Inuzuka Gaku, the captain of this squad, a Chunin. Everyone, please introduce yourselves."

Inuzuka E came up to the three of them, and at the same time, the ninja dog began to sniff around them, as if trying to remember their scents.

The three of them reintroduced themselves. The captain looked to be about the same age as Might Guy, and seemed to be the most reliable.

"Alright, you should understand our next task now, since the team was formed for this purpose."

"There's one thing I need to clarify: the core of the team's perception is my ninja dog, Black Claw. In other words, without Black Claw, our mission cannot proceed. Therefore, protecting the ninja dog is the most important prerequisite for the mission, and I hope everyone can understand this."

Black Paw is actually a large yellow dog, so big that it looks like it could be ridden.

Captain Inuzuka's explanation was somewhat abstract, and his words conveyed a sense that humans were inferior to dogs; his speech was somewhat eccentric.

"Captain, please rest assured, the ninja dog is also our comrade, and we will definitely protect it!" Yugen and Kohinata Shingen had no room to express their opinions because Might Guy had already agreed to the matter.

"You really didn't roll your eyes?" Yuzuru asked Kohinata Shingen in a low voice.

"Of course not."

"Alright, then we really can only rely on the ninja dogs."

The captain's request seemed absurd at first glance, but what he said was actually correct. The perception of four people was no match for that of a dog, at least a dog's nose was very useful.

Does this squad really have reconnaissance capabilities? Even if Captain Inuzuka were replaced with Captain Aburame, the squad's composition would be much more plausible.

Unfortunately, it can't be replaced.

What else can we do? In any case, the mission must be carried out.

…………

Gale-force winds and flying sandstorms blanket most of the Land of Wind's borders. Hidden somewhere in the endless sandstorms is Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

At this moment, all the important figures in the village gathered in a conference room.

A high-level meeting is underway.

The Land of Wind is a country with inherent disadvantages, suffering from a harsh environment and a poor economy. Sunagakure has always been plagued by financial difficulties. When the First Hokage distributed the Tailed Beasts, the First Kazekage, Retsuto, even wanted to give up the Tailed Beasts and instead ask other countries for economic compensation.

Because of its weak economic foundation, Sunagakure has always been weaker than the other four major ninja villages.

However, that was before. Things are different now. The current Sand Village is at its strongest... Just before the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out, the Sand Village had just changed its Kazekage.

The Second Kazekage, Shamon, abdicated, and the Third Kazekage took over the reins. The latter was the strongest Kazekage to master Magnet Release.

The Chiyo siblings are among the most skilled and commanding individuals, and if we go into detail, Sunagakure also has a perfect Jinchuriki.

All things considered, Sunagakure has a lot of cards to play. In comparison, what about Konoha?

It seems that the only truly renowned and powerful figure in Konoha is the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At least for now, that's how it appears on the surface.
