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

Chapter 256 They're not stupid

The familiar plot has unfolded once again.

"Give me!"

This time was different; Uchiha Ryo was the first to ask to see the scroll.

It's hard to hide the fact that the village's leader has left the village.

The Raikage, in particular, is very high-profile and rarely engages in any conspiracies. Unlike Onoki, he doesn't secretly leave the village to launch a surprise attack.

The spy was absolutely certain, and the Third Raikage rushed to the front lines.

In the new scroll, Hiruzen Sarutobi gives the order: not 5 Jonin and 500 ninjas, the previous order is invalidated, this time it's 10 Jonin and 1000 ninjas.

Uchiha Ryo frowned as he looked at the scroll.

Everyone else waited silently for Uchiha Ryo to make a decision.

Uchiha Ryo rarely looked so serious, and the Jonin had a bad feeling.

The Third Raikage, currently the strongest ninja in the world, has left Kumogakure.

In the original story, Iwagakure and Kumogakure fought a fierce battle, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas, including the Third Raikage.

Things are different now; Onoki and the Raikage are preparing to join forces to deal with Konoha first.

Could it be that Uchiha Ryo changed the storyline?

Konoha is going to suffer a lot.

"The Third Raikage has already entered the fray. To me, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, is nothing but sand that can be crushed with a pinch, and the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, is nothing but an old potato that can fly. Only the Third Raikage is different."

The Jonin noticed that Uchiha Rin's eyes had changed; they had become clear.

Only then did they realize that Uchiha Rin's disobedience wasn't the scary part; it was his submission that was truly dangerous.

It seems that even with Uchiha Ryo's arrogance, he felt the situation was extremely precarious and that he had to send people to support the other two battlefields.

Uchiha Ryo continued, "Of the five Kage of the ninja world, I am not confident of victory against the Third Raikage."

Since the Third Raikage has joined the fray, I agree to transfer troops from the battlefield in the Land of Rivers.

Ten Jonin and 1000 ninjas will be selected now, and we'll depart in one hour.

Sarutobi's eyes lit up. Uchiha Ryo said he was no match for the Third Raikage?

Could we transfer Uchiha Ryo to the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs, so that Uchiha Ryo and the Third Raikage can fight each other like dogs?

Sarutobi quickly took the scroll and examined it carefully.

Unfortunately, the Hiruzen clan chief decided to send Orochimaru from the Land of Waterfalls to the Land of Hot Springs to deal with the Third Raikage.

The clan chief personally went to the direction of Taki no Kuni to deal with Onoki.

There was no order for Uchiha Ryo in the scroll.

While the Third Raikage's speed and strength were undoubtedly top-tier in the ninja world, he couldn't kill Orochimaru even after fighting him for half an hour. Orochimaru, on the other hand, was able to hold off the Third Raikage on the main battlefield.

If the ninja forces gain the upper hand, they can also force the Cloud Ninja forces to retreat.

The Land of Rivers is too far from the Land of Hot Water. The Land of Rivers is to the west of the Land of Fire, while the Land of Hot Water is to the northeast of the Land of Fire.

If Uchiha Rin is sent to the Land of Hot Springs now, the Land of Rivers will collapse, and there won't be enough time.

Despite Rasa's repeated setbacks against Uchiha Rin, even someone like Mitokado Homura might not be a match for him.

When the Jonin heard that five Jonin were to be transferred away, everyone wanted to go.

Now that I've heard that 10 Jonin are going to be transferred away, I'm starting to hesitate.

They're not stupid.

Even someone as lawless as Uchiha Ryo, someone who dared to disobey the Hokage's orders, had to back down, proving that the situation was extremely difficult, so difficult that Uchiha Ryo's last shred of conscience had been awakened.

The situation in the war in the Land of Rivers is very clear: Uchiha Rin is destined to win against Rasa and Chiyo. The only question is how long Rasa and Chiyo can hold out.

However, in both the Land of Waterfall war led by Onoki and the Land of Hot Springs war led by the Third Raikage, Konoha was at a disadvantage.

They were at a disadvantage in terms of both troop strength and the number of Kage-level ninjas.

In particular, both Iwagakure and Kumogakure deployed their Jinchūriki to the battlefield, which was a devastating weapon.

What's the difference between going to the other two battlefields now and joining the daimyo after Konoha was founded, helping the daimyo fight against Konoha? Wouldn't that be foolish?

Of course, staying in the Land of Rivers to fight was not easy either. Uchiha Ryo often humiliated them, and they felt a lot of psychological pressure every time they saw him.

Furthermore, if they remain on the battlefield in the land of rivers, their forces will be further reduced, making it even more difficult to fight.

People don't have to choose between good and bad; everyone knows they should choose the good.

It's a choice between the awful and the unbearable—coffee-smelling poop, green tea-smelling pee, which should you choose? It's so difficult!

Uchiha Ryo began calling out names: "Commander-in-Chief Sarutobi Zang is familiar with the war in the Land of Rivers and cannot leave. I think we should let Vice Commander Mokumo Kōtō lead the team."

Mokumo Kōdō coughed and said, "Supreme Commander, I am quite familiar with the war in the land of rivers."

"Oh? You're familiar with this place too?"

"I'm the deputy commander, don't I know the area well?"

"Okay, you can get used to it too."

The way the Jonin looked at Mokumo Kōdō changed.

Well, Mumu Kōdō, we always thought you were an honest man, but we never expected you to be so cunning.

Noticing the gazes of the other Jonin, Mokumo Kōdō quickly said, "I hope to see Konoha completely defeat Sunagakure; this is my obsession."

After defeating Sunagakure as soon as possible, the troops here can be deployed to other battlefields.

Gongdao, you old codger, stop making excuses. Everyone knows you judged that staying in the land of rivers would make it easier to survive the war.

As for Sarutobizo, he was the one with the least choice.

He must stay here, no matter how much humiliation he suffers, to guard the battlefield of the River Country for the clan chief.

If he leaves as well, the front line will become a one-man show by Uchiha Ryo.

Uchiha Ryo has planted his own clansmen and cultivated his own confidants, which will soon become too powerful to control.

Hiding Sarutobi here can at least slow down the expansion of Uchiha Ryo's power.

Uchiha Ryo looked at the 19 Jonin and called out, "Fukai, Yoshioka, Uchiha Kamiki, and Uchiha Fumon, these four Jonin, stay."

Yoshioka was overjoyed.

To be honest, his Will of Fire was all talk and no action; when he was alone, it wasn't as pure as it seemed.

Even Mumu Kōdō directly said he wanted to stay; he preferred to stay as well.

We already have 5 Jonin, so we can still choose 4 more.

The next four people cannot be people you have a casual relationship with; you must choose enemies so that you can put pressure on them.

"Nara Yoshi, your Ino-Shika-Cho squad stays. There's only one spot left... Sarutobi Shima, you stay too."

Sarutobi Zang stared in shock at Uchiha Ryo, Nara Yoshi's Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and Sarutobi Island—all his core confidants.

what.

He thought that Uchiha Ryo would take the opportunity to wipe out his forces and leave him all alone.

Who would have thought that Uchiha Rin would make such a choice, which seems to show a strong sense of camaraderie among colleagues.

Of the nine Jonin who remained, five were under Uchiha Ryo's command, and four were under Sarutobi Zō's command.

This result is far better than Sarutobizo had hoped for, and is completely acceptable.

Nara Yoshi's face was grim; he guessed why Uchiha Ryo had asked him to stay.

Uchiha Ryo was obsessed with torturing others, and he left himself behind entirely to torment him.

He looked at Sarutobi Island with pity, and said, "Don't be happy, you're in an even worse situation."

An hour later, ten Jonin led a ninja force of 1000 men out of the camp and headed north toward the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Waterfall.

Uchiha Ryo said to Sarutobi Zangetsu, "Summon all the squad leaders at the front lines. I have something to say."
