Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

Chapter 106: Is it possible to defy orders or something?

Outside the commander's tent, many ninjas were gathered, all waiting for their captain to give them the mission.

Among the group of adult ninjas, Mitarashi Anko, a child about half a person's height, followed them inside.

The other captains all looked at Mitarashi Anko, and after a brief inquiry, they learned that she was Orochimaru's student, so they were not surprised.

When it comes to eccentric cat-like behavior, who can blame Orochimaru more?

Orochimaru's brain sulci are similar to those of a snake.

Standing at a distance, Obito Uchiha whispered, "Kakashi! Turn around! Ryo Uchiha has a new sword? Is he jealous of your White Fang short sword and got provoked by you?"

Kakashi glanced back and saw that Uchiha Rin had a long sword at his waist.

Kakashi moved his shoulder, feeling the White Fang short sword on his back.

Minato-sensei is right. Even for the sake of Konoha, we cannot let the White Fang Sword Technique be lost.

Ryo Uchiha's use of the White Fang short sword inspired Kakashi.

So that's how skilled they are with a knife.

Kakashi raised his hand and looked at his palm.

While sparring with Uchiha Ryo, he couldn't let go of his understanding of Lightning Release, perhaps he could develop a new Lightning Release ninjutsu that suited him.

Many people looked at Uchiha Ryo, and at his long sword.

Those older ninjas had never met Uchiha Izuna, but they had all seen Uchiha Hiko and knew that it was Uchiha Hiko's sword.

That knife... The captains went into the tent one by one and came out one by one.

After Mitarashi Anko stepped out of the tent, she came to the side of the team.

"Our squad has been assigned a reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines. The specific details of the mission are classified."

Du Lejiong exclaimed in shock, "Behind enemy lines? A reconnaissance mission?"

He pointed to himself again: "Us?"

Mitarashi Anko couldn't answer either, and walked out of the camp.

Many teams left, creating a sense of crowding.

The four Uchiha squads—Uchiha Kakashi, Uchiha Hachidai, Uchiha Himori, and Uchiha Shintsuru—also left the camp.

They all looked arrogant, thinking that this kind of battlefield mission was nothing special.

At the very least, others need to think that they consider the task easy.

Red Bean discovers that the Crimson Yuhi Squad is heading in the same direction as them, towards the southwest of the camp.

She watched as Kurenai Yuhi occasionally turned to give instructions to Kurenai and the other two genin, and then she thought of her father who had died young, her eyes filled with unconcealed envy.

Upon arriving at Zone 27, Squad Yuhi Crimson stopped.

Kurenai quickly came over and asked, "Ako, which defense zone are you from?"

Red Bean shook her head and said, "Red, ninjas shouldn't ask each other about mission details."

Uchiha Ryo suddenly remembered that when he was working in his previous life, his company forbade employees from asking each other about their salaries.

Each person is atomized, making them the easiest to manage.

You don't know if others are doing well, and you won't be indignant if others are doing poorly.

Kurenai Yuhi said, "The Red Bean Squad has been honing their skills on the battlefield for more than two months. We're different; we'll start with the most basic defense zone missions."

Red Bean led the team onward and disappeared into the woods.

After Anko and the others had walked away, Kurenai turned to her and asked, "Father, Anko and the others are all genin. Isn't it very dangerous for them to go to the Land of Waterfalls? Isn't the command considering..."

Kurenai quickly interrupted, "Kurenai, a ninja's duty is to carry out and complete missions. As for how missions are assigned, that's not something an ordinary ninja should worry about."

What Kurenai Yuhi didn't say was that Konoha didn't value its comrades as much as it was advertised; the village was full of strife and malice.

The malice towards the Uchiha clan and the fear of Orochimaru, among other emotions, unknowingly burdened Anko's team with responsibilities far exceeding those of the three genin teams.

Namiashi Raido said, "The Red Bean Squad performed exceptionally well. I heard that they completed all their missions perfectly. I guess the command doesn't consider them an ordinary pure genin squad."

Kurenai was very worried, not knowing what would happen to Anko or Ling.

She looked toward the Land of Waterfalls and felt that it was fraught with danger, like entering a plateau full of hungry wolves.

After leaving the forest of the Land of Fire and jumping onto the first plateau of the Land of Waterfalls, Anko opened the mission scroll and said, "According to intelligence from spies, Iwagakure knows that a wave of reinforcements has arrived at the Konoha front and is preparing to launch a probing attack."

What we need to do is to sneak around the Land of Waterfalls and search for the trail of the Iwagakure army.

From here, our team will scout an area 30 kilometers deep into the Land of Waterfalls and 20 kilometers wide.

Our mission is to find traces of the Iwa ninja force, or to rule out the possibility of their presence.

After hearing the details of the mission, Du Lejiong raised his hand and wiped the sweat from the back of his neck.

"Isn't this too dangerous? Such a large area, and you're sending a small squad to scout it? Shouldn't you be sending a company?"

Red Bean said, "There are dozens of reconnaissance squads in Taki no Kyu. These reconnaissance squads are all very dangerous. Organizing them into squads makes it easier to hide."

Uchiha Ryo said, "Let's go. Complaining is useless. Do you think you can disobey orders or what?"

The Land of Waterfalls is located 50 kilometers from the border of the Land of Fire.

Behind a waterfall is the command post of the Iwanin front.

Huang Tu, son of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, stared at the map and asked his assistant, "Has the spy sent back intelligence? How many reinforcements has Konoha sent?"

Assistant Higashi said, "Commander-in-Chief, 612 support ninjas from Konoha have arrived."

Of these reinforcements, over two hundred are genin, so they're not a major concern. It's the jonin and special jonin leading the teams that are the troublesome ones.

With this support, Konoha now has more than 3200 ninjas.

We have over 5800 ninjas, so our troop strength still gives us the advantage.

Iwagakure has the numerical advantage in any ninja village it fights.

Unfortunately, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are locked in a standoff in the Land of Iron, which involves even more forces; otherwise, the few Konoha ninja in front of us wouldn't be enough to wipe us out in one fell swoop.

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage became the catalyst for the Third Shinobi World War, but after being beaten, Sunagakure retreated to its village and became an outsider.

The main protagonists of the war are the three villages of Iwagakure, Konoha, and Kumogakure, who are locked in a life-or-death struggle.

The dead man from the east said again, "The spy has sent some important and crucial intelligence. I think we can make use of it."

"What crucial intelligence?"

"The complete list of reconnaissance teams and their reconnaissance areas!"

"Oh?" Huang Tu said, "Our village's spies have an unyielding will, and they haven't wavered in the past three to five years."

The spies delivered such valuable intelligence; their contribution to the victory in the war was immense.

"These reconnaissance squads are the elite of Konoha Village," said the man from the east.

There were even Jonin from the Uchiha clan, and geniuses from the Uchiha clan.

For example, there's Uchiha Kagaku, a veteran Jonin of the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Ryo, a genius of the Uchiha clan.

Regarding Suma Shi's previous report, there was a genin in the Uchiha clan who possessed an exaggeratedly powerful fire-style technique and called himself the Barbecue Mountain Man.

As is well known, the Uchiha clan has always harbored resentment towards the Konoha leadership. Eliminating these Uchiha would undoubtedly enrage the clan and plunge Konoha into considerable chaos.

Huang Tu nodded and said, "Not only the Uchiha, but all intelligence reconnaissance teams must be wiped out one by one."

"Eastern Dead Man, you arrange the troops and make sure to thwart Konoha's counterattack plan."

"Yes, Lord Huangtu."
