Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 232 I brought news of Konoha's declaration of war, and I will also bring back news of Kirigakure's surrender.

war.

This word sounds somewhat distant.

Konoha has not seen a war for a long time.

After Tsunade issued the declaration of war, the villagers of Konoha quickly quieted down. Memories from many years ago gradually resurfaced, and they recalled the horrors of war.

Many villagers looked at Tsunade on the rooftop of the Hokage Building with some bewilderment, not quite understanding why the Fifth Hokage had suddenly issued an order to start a war against the two ninja villages during his succession ceremony.

"We must avenge the Third Hokage..."

A Konoha ninja looked conflicted and cautiously asked, "But didn't those two villages already send envoys to sue for peace?"

The villages of Sunagakure and Kirigakure have been sending envoys back and forth, trying to reach a negotiation agreement with Konoha and hoping to maintain their alliance.

Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure, and many Sunagakure ninjas are still imprisoned in Konoha, while many Kirigakure ninjas are also imprisoned in Konoha's jails!

"Shall we start a war?"

There was a hint of panic in the eyes of one of the Konoha ninjas.

Although they believed that Konoha was strong enough, who knew what chain of consequences would occur once the war truly broke out, and how many more comrades in the village would sacrifice themselves?

"We still have to avenge the Third Hokage..."

"But to start a war like this..."

"Shouldn't we seek revenge?"

"Revenge is indeed necessary...but..."

The Konoha ninjas instantly erupted into a noisy commotion. They strongly supported the idea of ​​revenge, but they dared not face the brutality of war. Even some Jonin who had truly experienced war and whose temperaments had become resilient sighed softly.

Some of the younger genin had little concept of war. Most of these genin were born at the end of the Third Shinobi World War. They had never seen the cruelty of war, and had never even heard their instructor jonin or their elders mention war.

Nara Shikamaru, being the quickest-witted, immediately noticed his father's somewhat somber expression and asked, "Is war... terrible?"

"More terrifying than anything else in this world."

Nara Shikaku nodded slowly, his voice somewhat subdued: "On the battlefield, ninjas from both countries clashed, and everyone was likely to be sacrificed, with friends and comrades constantly dying..."

"..."

Nara Shikamaru looked at his friend.

"Crunch... crunch..."

Choji Akimichi started to get scared, sweat pouring down his face. He kept eating potato chips out of fear. He was the most burly of the genin, but the least timid...

"The battlefield..."

A hint of worry appeared in Kakashi Hatake's eyes as he looked at his students. Naruto Uzumaki probably wouldn't be sent to the battlefield...

As for Uchiha Sasuke…

They even seemed somewhat dismissive of the impending war.

This little guy had never heard of the cruelty of war. The word "war" was far less stimulating to him than the name Itachi Uchiha.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

After Tsunade announced the start of the war, her expression became even more somber: "All ninjas, go and prepare yourselves. Jonin teams, assemble for a meeting..."

"Tsunade!"

Jiraiya frowned, wanting to step forward and have a serious talk with Tsunade: "Why did it suddenly activate at this time...?"

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Kagura Akihara stopped Jiraiya, gently shaking her head and saying, "Lady Tsunade and I don't want this, but starting a war against two villages is a decision made by the two Hokage advisors and the four previous Hokage..."

"!!!"

Jiraiya frowned.

The tall, white-haired man couldn't help but turn to look at the Hokage present, somewhat puzzled: "But starting a war of revenge at this time will only attract..."

"Jiraiya, there's nothing we can do about it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and explained to his disciple, "There have been some conflicts between the village and the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire... Tsunade and Kagura believe that the daimyo and nobles should be killed. We think that starting a war against Kirigakure and Sunagakure can ease the conflict between Konoha and the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire."

"Besides..."

"The villages of Sunagakure and Kirigakure are not very strong."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Kagura Akihara beside Jiraiya, recalling the battle he had witnessed that night, and continued, "Even if Konoha starts a war, it can be ended as quickly as possible. There's no need to worry about any casualties among the villagers..."

"This…"

Jiraiya looked strange and couldn't speak.

If we follow Hiruzen Sarutobi's suggestion, then starting a war against foreign powers would actually be the best option?

According to Tsunade and Kagura's extreme ideas, the rules of the ninja world would be directly overturned, and Konoha would most likely face an attack from other enemy countries.

"Let's prepare for the meeting!"

Tsunade walked down the rooftop step by step.

"Is there anything else we need to discuss?"

Tobirama Senju looked at Kagura Akihara, crossed his arms, and said softly, "Kid, you have Wood Release and Flying Thunder God Technique. You shouldn't have any problem handling this war by yourself, right? There's no need to expose the rest of us at this point, is there?"

"..."

All eyes were on Akihara Kagura.

"Yes or no…"

Akihara Kagura hesitated for a moment before asking, "Shouldn't we give the ninja world some time to react? At least let others know that Konoha has declared war?"

"snort…"

Tobirama Senju shook his head impatiently and continued coldly, "There's no need for this. The right thing to do is to quickly resolve this war!"

"Let the kids of this era see what..."

"The wars of the Warring States period were not child's play like we do now. Let them know the true power of Wood Release, which ended the chaos of the era, let them understand the terror of Konoha, and make them surrender to Konoha unconditionally. That's what you should do!"

"etc…"

Tsunade was somewhat taken aback, staring in shock at the group of Hokage who remained impassive: "Second Grandfather, do you mean to send Kagura out alone?"

More than enough.

Tobirama Senju stared at Kagura Akihara and continued in a deep voice, "Kid, do you really need to prepare a whole squad to cheer you on?"

"I see."

Kagura Akihara looked at the other Hokage, seemingly searching for something. Something seemed off; she hadn't received any missions, only Tsunade's special ability.

[System Notification]: [You have a new superior (Tsunade). You are rewarded with a new recruit welcome gift pack and will unlock new traits.]

[Medical Master (possesses extremely precise control over the body's chakra, and has become highly skilled in medical ninjutsu.)]

Medical ninjutsu is barely useful.

However, this precise control of chakra is the most useful.

Even though Akihara Kagura had specifically trained in this area, it was still far from matching the characteristics that Tsunade, a medical ninja, brought when she became a superior.

Akihara Kagura has always relied on his vast chakra in battle. Now, being able to precisely control his chakra will improve his control over his body, which is extremely useful for advancing his taijutsu.

"etc…"

Tsunade hurriedly tried to stop Akihara Kagura, but she was too late. She saw Akihara Kagura's figure disappear from the spot.

"Tsunade."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and softly advised, "Don't worry about Kagura's safety. When Kagura was eleven years old, she captured the Mizukage of Kirigakure and almost single-handedly conquered Kirigakure. I've seen the battle reports from that time..."

At that time...

Even Akihara Kagura can do this.

Moreover, given Akihara Kagura's current situation, according to Hiruzen Sarutobi's observations, perhaps even destroying the Land of Water wouldn't be a problem!

Within three days.

Konoha should have received news of Kirigakure's surrender by then.

Once Kirigakure chooses to surrender, Sunagakure will have no chance of resistance. Without the One-Tailed Jinchuriki and the Fourth Kazekage, Sunagakure is powerless to resist.

"We still need to hold a meeting to discuss this..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade and softly suggested, "The village's ninjas might have some opinions about the war. In the next few days, try to appease them and prevent the villagers from becoming panicked because of the war. This is the Hokage's responsibility..."

"..."

Tsunade's eye twitched.

Actually, she, the Fifth Hokage, was more panicked than anyone else in the village!

"I'll first get the village ready for war..."

Tsunade sighed and went to the meeting room on her own.

The Land of Water.

Outside the village of Wuyin.

Akihara Kagura traveled very fast; the [Golden Flash] brought him unparalleled speed, allowing him to arrive before the sun had even set.

"Akihara Kagura?"

Ao of Kirigakure immediately used his Byakugan to detect Akihara Kagura's arrival. He sent someone to inform Mei Terumi, the temporary leader of the village, while he himself rushed over to greet Akihara Kagura, intending to find out from her whether Konoha had made any demands.

Kirigakure has been sending envoys to Konoha to propose peace talks, hoping that Konoha will forgive Kirigakure for being deceived by Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura.

As a result, Konoha never gave a definite answer, always using the excuse that the new Hokage had not yet taken office...

just now…

Is there a result yet?

"You don't need to come over."

Akihara Kagura looked at Ao who came out to greet him, raised her hand to stop Ao from greeting her, and said, "This afternoon, Lady Tsunade succeeded as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

"In light of the fact that Kirigakure and Orochimaru colluded to instigate a riot in Konoha and plotted to kill the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Lady Tsunade has officially declared war on Kirigakure after assuming office."

"no…"

Ao's pupils widened immediately, and he hurriedly tried to explain, "We want to maintain peace with Konoha. We just need Konoha to propose conditions, even reparations are negotiable..."

Don't be so fast, shall we?

At least let's have a little talk!

Why is Konoha's new Fifth Hokage so extreme?

Moreover, no matter what conditions Konoha proposes now, Kirigakure will likely agree, because Konoha is unlikely to propose anything like ceding territory.

Because Kirigakure is still leaderless, Hozuki Mangetsu and Hozuki Suigetsu from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are still imprisoned in Konoha!

"The conditions for peace?"

Kagura Akihara frowned, pondering the fact that Tobirama Senju seemed to have indeed mentioned conditions for peace between the two villages: "The Hokage of Konoha mentioned that if they wanted peace, Kirigakure would probably have to surrender unconditionally and be at Konoha's mercy, right?"

"This is impossible..."

Qing immediately and instinctively refused.

This is absolutely unreasonable!

Konoha and Kirigakure are both among the Five Great Ninja Villages!

If we surrender unconditionally, wouldn't we be at their mercy? Konoha has taken away the land where Kirigakure lives, what are we supposed to do?

Just then, Mei Terumi, the current leader of Kirigakure, received the news and immediately led a group of people to the village entrance, where she overheard Kagura Akihara and Ao's conversation.

"Don't be impulsive, Qing."

Mei Terumi coldly rebuked Ao, standing before Akihara Kagura. She looked much more mature than before, and her demeanor had softened somewhat: "If Kirigakure unconditionally agrees to peace talks, how will Konoha deal with us?"

"This is not peace talks, it's surrender."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and continued, "The Third Hokage is Tsunade's teacher. She is extremely furious about this incident and will surely make Kirigakure pay a heavy price..."

"We were deceived too..."

Qing wanted to offer an explanation.

"But you did participate..."

Akihara Kagura didn't agree with Ao's explanation. She sighed and continued, "I was only responsible for bringing the declaration of war to Kirigakure and for bringing back the news of Kirigakure's unconditional surrender to Konoha."

"What...does that mean?"

Ao looked at Akihara Kagura with some surprise and confusion.

"Literal meaning."

Akihara Kagura slowly closed her palms together.

"You'll be alone..."

Ao's eyes trembled as he looked at Akihara Kagura, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable happening in the world: "Attacking Kirigakure alone?"

wrong!

This did happen!

Ao and Mei Terumi's memories immediately went back to six or seven years ago, when Akihara Kagura, a Wood Release ninja, almost single-handedly broke through Kirigakure, leaving Kirigakure with great humiliation!

At that time, Akihara Kagura was with two other people...

It's no different from him doing it himself...

"alert!"

A roar came from Qing's throat!

Because Ao didn't believe that he and Mei Terumi could stop Akihara Kagura!

The ninjas in Kirigakure immediately relayed the alert order!

Mei Terumi was very alert. Seeing Akihara Kagura's movements, she quickly kicked at Akihara Kagura, trying to stop her from using ninjutsu!

boom!

Akihara Kagura punched Terumi Mei!

Mei Terumi's body flew backward, and the moment she hit the ground, she felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, and she spat out a mouthful of blood!

Qing immediately wanted to rush forward to help!

Akihara Kagura stomped on the ground, and the ground cracked open beneath his feet, sending Qing Zhen flying!

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

Akihara Kagura looked up at the walls of Kirigakure and suddenly clasped his hands together. Vines grew from his feet and spread into Kirigakure!

"I hope... Kirigakure will give me a satisfactory result."

First update!

and also!
