Naruto: In the name of the Senju, he made the ninja world tremble.

Chapter 106 The Battle Begins

"Captain! Captain! Time's up!"

Hongdou's clear shouts broke the oppressive silence outside the tent. Qianyu smiled and shook her head. There always needs to be someone carefree in a team, otherwise life would be too boring.

With a casual wave of his hand, a row of tender saplings in front of him instantly turned into ashes, which were then buried by the churning earth as they fell to the ground. It was not the time for them to appear yet; let them be patient for a while.

Qianyu stood up and stretched, her joints cracking and popping, before stepping out and lifting the tent flap.

A damp, cold wind rushed in instantly, mixed with fine rain, and within seconds, Qianyu's clean and tidy combat suit was enveloped in a layer of moisture.

However, Qianyu didn't care. He believed that what was covering his clothes today was not just dampness, but also an even more tragic color.

Outside the tent, Uchiha Yue and Mitarashi Anko stood side by side in the rain, both wearing full gear and having changed into their battle suits.

"red beans."

"Yes, Captain."

"Put your coat away," Qianyu said, gently rubbing her temples as she looked at Hongdou's puzzled expression. "During the chaos of battle, you were wearing a distinctive trench coat. Were you trying to tell the enemy you had a special identity?"

As she spoke, Qianyu walked behind Hongdou and pulled the hood of her trench coat over the girl's head. "Besides, this doesn't seem to be of much use in battle, does it? Cool, right?"

Seeing her beloved combat suit being dismissed as worthless by the captain, Hongdou puffed out her cheeks, wanting to argue back, but in the end she had to admit that what the other party said made sense, and could only reluctantly put the trench coat away.

"When we get back to Konoha, the captain will reimburse you for five trench coats." Seeing Anko looking a little down, he made the promise without thinking. The next second, he wanted to slap himself. How could he say something like that at a time like this? Wasn't he just setting a flag for himself?

As the two were talking, a look of surprise flashed in Uchiha Tsuki's eyes, who had been silent all along. Although Chiba was the same as usual, her sixth sense detected something different about the other person.

However, Uchiha Tsuki didn't ask. Given her relationship with Chiba, she wouldn't pry unless something bad happened to him.

Just then, the signal to assemble was given, and countless black figures flashed across the camp, rushing towards their battle positions. Qianyu and his two companions were among them.

Before long, the forward positions were already in formation. Qianyu, as a guard of the sealing squad, was positioned in the center of the formation, slightly behind. However, since the total number of people on both sides was only about a thousand, his position was still quite close to the front.

Under the dark clouds, the Iwa ninja camp from the Land of Earth on the opposite side slowly pressed in like a brown torrent. Most of them were burly and heavy-footed, standing on the earth like rocks.

The light drizzle continued to fall, but it could not extinguish the flames of war that were about to erupt.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Earth Release, Earthflow Wall!"

Without any warning, a violent hurricane ripped through the ground, whipping up huge clods of earth that slammed against the thick rock face opposite, a scene resembling a natural disaster that signaled the start of war.

The next second, dozens of Iwa ninja emerged from the ground and rushed towards the Konoha ninja on the opposite side, and the battlefield instantly descended into chaos.

From Chiba's perspective, the battlefield at the center was a cacophony of sounds: the clashing of kunai, the explosions of ninjutsu, roars, and muffled groans.

Every second someone falls, every second a new ninjutsu is unleashed. In this close combat, neither side can easily use large-scale area-of-effect ninjutsu, lest they injure their own people.

"So it shouldn't be long before it's a head-to-head battle," Chiyu said, looking at the few figures behind the Iwa ninja who weren't participating in the fight. This small-scale battle would soon escalate into a high-level decisive battle.

"Kid, I, the great Iwa ninja Beiju, will take your head! Earth Release: Rock Heavy Fist!" An Iwa ninja emerged from the ground, his arm instantly covered with a layer of hard rock, which gleamed with a brown light and slammed towards Chiba with a whooshing sound.

Chiba, positioned directly in front of the guard, watched the Iwa ninja emerge from the ground to launch a sneak attack, a glint of excitement in her eyes.

"Tragedy, this unlucky name, I'll grant you your wish!" Chiyu didn't dodge or evade, and the chakra within her body suddenly erupted, with a huge blasting sound that struck the Iwagakure ninja, whose expression had changed drastically.

boom!

A dull, loud bang!

Beiju's arm cracked open, and bloody tissue was mixed in with the flying shards of stone.

Before he could even scream in agony from the severed arm, Qianyu immediately struck first, swinging his right arm toward the man's head once more.

The next second, the sight of flowers scattering like celestial maidens left the surrounding Iwa ninjas dumbfounded; they had never seen anyone wield such immense strength.

It should be noted that as a special jonin, Beiju was a figure of considerable importance among the Iwagakure ninja, yet he was reduced to a puzzle piece by an unknown boy from Konoha.

They were stunned, but Qianyu was not.

"Earth Release, Yellow Spring Marsh!"

Chiyu gave her opponents no chance. She pressed one hand to the ground, and her chakra surged wildly into the earth, trapping more than a dozen Iwa ninjas in the chakra-infused mud, unable to break free.

Ultimately, these Iwa ninja who launched the sneak attack became easy targets for the Konoha ninja, making other Iwa ninja who intended to attack from underground feel apprehensive.

In this short period of time, Qianyu showed off his skills, which made the enemy not dare to underestimate him. On the contrary, the Konoha ninjas who were carrying out the escort mission with him all showed joy.

What a pleasant surprise! This seemingly privileged young ninja is surprisingly cunning.

This scene was witnessed by the commanders of both sides standing on high ground. In such a good opportunity to train troops, they always wanted to see if there were any promising ninja talents, and then decide whether to protect them or eliminate them.

"A rather impressive brat has appeared in Konoha." Old Purple's voice was hoarse, and a surge of violent chakra flowed around him. "This monstrous strength is quite similar to that hot-tempered woman from Konoha. Should I make a move?"

Huang Tu, who was standing next to him with a blank expression, crossed his arms and said, "No need. This is just a small skirmish. Your target later is Mitokado Homura, one of Konoha's advisors."

"The minimum requirement for this probe against Konoha is to kill a high-ranking Konoha official." Huang Tu looked at the ninja surrounded by a crowd in the distance and said, "Hyuga Hiashi is in his prime and has too many guards around him. On the other hand, Mitokado Homura is old and has fewer guards around him. We can give it a try."

"Hmph, you're just like your father, Onoki, too conservative," Old Purple said disdainfully, looking at the composed-faced Yellow Earth.

A normal person would be angry if their own father were talked about like that, but Huang Tuzhen remained expressionless, like a rock, as if no emotion would affect him.

Huang Tu has only one goal: to defeat Konoha and seize the Land of Rain.

At the same time, far from the battlefield, under Zetsu's cover, Pain and Konan stood quietly, watching the battle between the ninja villages.
