Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 31 Ceasefire Intent and Losses

"It's still not quite right... It's too difficult."

"What outsiders perceive as talent is actually bestowed upon me by the system."

"If we're just talking about a ninja's aptitude... it's not bad, at least I'm quite satisfied with it, but it still can't compare to some monsters."

Two months later, after finishing his training, Yubi came to the village's pedestrian street under the cover of night.

His eyes flickered, and he barely looked where he was going, lost in thought.

He wanted to be like Tsunade, trying to use the advantages of being a medical ninja to strengthen his body at the cellular level, possessing that kind of monstrous strength... as well as the body's self-healing and recovery abilities.

But even though he worked hard to hone his physical body and used himself as a guinea pig during those two months, he still didn't make any substantial breakthroughs.

Although my physical fitness has improved to some extent, the gains are quite considerable.

But it's still too far from Tsunade's level of combat prowess.

"Well... there's no need to rush. After all, she's one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, while I'm just a kid... It would be a miracle if I could have Tsunade's level of ninjutsu at this age. Anyway, I have plenty of time. As long as I work towards this goal, I'll succeed sooner or later... Once I learn Tsunade's ninjutsu from the system, I might be able to find the trick."

"It's also possible... it's due to heredity. After all, they're from the Senju clan, with a special physique."

"However, this training also exposed some of my current shortcomings. Although my combat template is already taking shape, and I have the system and am not lacking in means to arm myself, I still know too little about the ninjutsu system of this world..."

He wasn't referring to any particular type of ninjutsu. After all, as a transmigrator, he had a general understanding of almost all the ninjutsu in the Naruto world.

What he wants is the principle.

The underlying structure of various ninjutsu techniques.

Details such as the coordination between jutsu seals and chakra, how they are activated, and how chakra operates.

"To develop exceptional ninjutsu comprehension... or even create a new path to becoming a strong person, one still needs to read a large number of ninjutsu scrolls... Only with a certain amount of knowledge can one apply it in practice."

"Actually... there's no need to get stuck on Tsunade. There are definitely abilities in the system that are stronger than hers."

As Yubi walked, he talked to himself.

"Let's ask the Kazekage for some ninjutsu scrolls from the village... Whether we can use them or not, the more we understand ninjutsu, the more confident we'll be in fighting." After a moment, Yubi made her decision.

It's getting late today, I'll go find Shinji tomorrow.

"In terms of physical strength alone... I should be able to rival an ordinary Chunin by now." Yubi clenched his fist and raised the corners of his mouth.

The Chunin he's referring to here are based on the standards of Konoha.

Even after so long, he still clearly remembered the details of the battle when the two members of the Root organization tried to assassinate him; the intensity of that battle far surpassed that of Amegakure.

They are the standard of combat power in the ninja world...representing the level of a great ninja village.

"Um?"

Just as Yubi was about to step into a ramen shop, he caught a glimpse of a group of Sunagakure ninja returning from outside.

They were not injured, but they were all dejected and somewhat frustrated.

This made Yubi's mind start to work.

In fact, he had noticed this phenomenon long ago: the ninjas from the village who were on missions outside were frequently returning to the village.

Nothing unusual happened.

Rather, it was because the battle lines were contracting and excess troops were being transferred to other places. These people returned to the village for two reasons: firstly, to reorganize briefly, and secondly, to receive new tasks and assignments.

The shrinking of the battle lines signifies only one thing... Sunagakure is losing ground on the battlefield and is beginning to be no match for Konoha.

"The village's medical department has improved to some extent, but it can only solve the immediate crisis... As time goes by, it will still be defeated by Konoha." Yubi took a breath. If he could pass on all his medical skills, then Sunagakure would undergo a tremendous transformation, and this great battle might not end in defeat.

Unfortunately, he had the will... but the village's current conditions were too poor, and environmental and other factors did not allow it.

The people below also have very poor learning abilities.

Even if we wanted the medical department to achieve rapid development, it wouldn't be possible.

In short, it all boils down to one thing: the time was too short.

Even if he had immense power, he couldn't change this situation.

This is what Yubi was thinking before... Sasori's further descent into darkness is inevitable.

He had anticipated this.

Not only the villagers of Sunagakure, but even the common people of the village felt the decline of the village's wartime will... The atmosphere was very oppressive.

"Yubi... what are we having for dinner today?"

"Seafood ramen!"

Thinking it over, Yubi withdrew her gaze and entered the store.

The boss forced a smile and greeted everyone warmly.

Yubi sat in his usual spot, raised his hand, and responded with a bright smile.

Before long, a steaming bowl of ramen was placed in front of him. It was called seafood ramen, but in reality... there were only a few scattered dried seafood pieces in the soup, a pitifully small amount.

Yubi, still with a great appetite, slurped up the noodles.

The details of life constantly remind everyone of the immense impact of this Ninja World War.

Especially the economy.

This Ninja World War was sparked by Amegakure, but in essence, it was a war started by the five great ninja villages wanting to redistribute the resources of the ninja world under the pretext of "peace and economy"... Hanzo of the Land of Rain was on the passive side.

Last year... during the time Yubi was on a mission, the Ninja World War was nearing its end with the withdrawal of Amegakure and the withdrawal of the three legendary Sannin from the main battlefield.

Tsunade also developed hemophobia.

"This year, Kumogakure will kidnap Kushina because of the tailed beasts going out of control in their village... They want to find a way to completely suppress the tailed beasts and have a perfect Jinchuriki. Even if Sunagakure and Konoha stop fighting immediately, Konoha will probably continue to fight with Kumogakure and other forces for a while... But this Shinobi World War has undoubtedly officially come to an end."

"The subsequent frictions... were merely a chain reaction caused by this major battle in a few villages."

"In this ninja war that lasted for several years, most of the dead and wounded were chunin and genin. But for any village, especially Sunagakure, ninjas of this caliber are the foundation of the village. Many of them were newcomers who died young, which almost destroyed Sunagakure's future."

"Judging from the situation... the higher-ups should already have the intention to cease hostilities. When Scorpion returns from this mission, he will probably receive this unpleasant news."

"well…"

Yubi suddenly sighed.

Scorpion, who is on the front lines, has probably already noticed something amiss.

Although Sasori joined the battlefield some time earlier than him, he had not actually experienced the so-called "great battle," and Granny Chiyo had protected him very well.

After all, he only has this one grandson left.

However, in order to "challenge" himself, Scorpion always takes on very difficult missions, even when he is not in a large-scale situation.

"What's wrong? Does it taste off?"

When the boss saw Yubi suddenly sigh, he thought there was something wrong with his cooking.

"It's nothing... just yawning."

Yubi snapped out of his daze and burst into laughter.

Then, he quickened his pace, quickly finishing the noodles and drinking the soup.

Then, he left a banknote and said, "Thank you for your hospitality!"

After saying that, he waved goodbye and left the shop.
