I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

He possesses all the common child techniques of the Rinnegan, such as Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, Chibaku Tensei, Sealing Technique Absorption, Chakra Devouring, and Rinne Rebirth Technique.

However, it lacks abilities such as the Heavenly Obstruction Star, the Wheel Tomb: Border Prison, and the ability to create Six Paths clones.

Instead, three new techniques for children were introduced.

"interesting."

After reviewing the abilities of these three new child techniques, Yun Ting smiled with delight.

I thought that with his Sage Body and Wood Release, the Rinnegan was just icing on the cake.

Unexpectedly, there are still endless possibilities.

"I really want to meet Uchiha Madara again! Then, let's see if you can still utter the 'Dance Song'."

Looking out the window, in the ninja world, apart from the Sage of Six Paths, Yun Ting, the first to gather both the Sage Body and the Sage Eyes, had his pair of purple Rinnegan eyes filled with anticipation.

......

Waaaaah~

As dawn broke, the sound of train whistles echoed continuously from Konoha Station.

The platform, which used to be filled with merchants and ordinary people, is now filled with Konoha ninjas.

The vast majority of Konoha ninjas wore their usual Konoha combat uniforms and green vests, but a small group of ninjas with a more imposing aura were clearly dressed in armor-like attire.

This is the Chakra Armor, one of the military products developed by the Konoha Research Department in recent years.

It was originally inspired by the chakra armor of the ninjas from the Land of Snow.

As for how to obtain Konoha.

When the rightful heir of the Land of Snow, who went by the alias Fujika Yukie but whose real name was Kazaka Koyuki, fled to the Land of Fire, Yun Ting initially didn't have time to pay attention to her. Later, after the end of the Third Shinobi World War and during the five-year period of recuperation, in the spirit of having nothing better to do, he had Kakashi lead a team of Konoha ninja back to their old homeland to help Kazaka Koyuki restore her country.

Other countries did not pay attention to this matter.

After all, the ruler of the Land of Snow at that time, Kazahana Noto, did indeed seize power illegitimately, and Konoha did not turn the Land of Snow into a puppet like the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Frost. They simply completed their missions and returned to their posts, leaving Kazahana Koyuki to govern the country.

As a result, other countries stopped paying attention.

What they didn't know was that when Kakashi led his team back, under the instructions of Yun Ting, he specifically packed up the chakra armor and related technology from the Land of Snow and brought them back to Konoha.

After further research and development by the Konoha Research Department, it eventually took the form of the full armor it is today. Its actual weight is much lighter than it appears, and it has the ability to absorb a certain amount of chakra ninjutsu, greatly enhancing its strength, speed, and defense.

It can be said that when a jonin wears chakra armor, they can completely contend with a special jonin; and when a special jonin wears it, they can exert strength just like a jonin.

As for the lower-ranking ninja, they will not be considered.

After all, everyone knows the quality of Konoha's genin.

A powerful weapon that can transcend a level is naturally highly sought after by the Konoha ninja.

Even for a wealthy and powerful country like the Land of Fire, it would be impossible to make the expensive chakra armor available to all ninjas.

Ultimately, it could only be built on a small scale to equip elite troops.

Previously, the Chakra Armor had been kept secret by Konoha, and now it is making its debut. Coupled with other emerging weapons, it will definitely give the five great nations a run for their money.

The three thousand Konoha ninjas led by Yun Ting who raided Kumogakure were not equipped with these.

It's not just about speed in warfare.

Furthermore, Yun Ting alone is enough to make up for all the gaps.

"set off!"

Without wasting any time, and to avoid scaring away Madara and other enemies by revealing that he possessed the Rinnegan, Yun Ting covered his eyes with the black-clad beauty, preparing to give them a big surprise. After arriving at the train station and briefly saying goodbye to the others, he waved his hand and led the three thousand Konoha ninjas who had already assembled onto the special train.

woohoo~~

Soon, amidst a loud whistle, the train carrying Yun Ting and three thousand ninjas set off at top speed along the already laid railway tracks from Konoha to the Land of Frost.

Four hours later.

The border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Frost, which normally takes one or two days to reach, was reached in a flash by the train at full speed.

Such a large gap is why the Cloud Ninja strongly opposed extending the Konoha Railway to the Land of Frost.

However, under the rule of tyranny, all voices of opposition are ineffective.

Today, the Hidden Cloud Village is undoubtedly reaping the bitter fruits of its past actions.

"Target: Hidden Cloud Village, let's go!"

Stepping off the train, Yun Ting looked at the three thousand Konoha ninjas, who were still full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue, and nodded in satisfaction.

At the command, he was the first to charge into the Land of Lightning as the vanguard of the army.

Three thousand Konoha ninjas, their morale high, followed closely behind.

Boom~~

The sounds of marching troops, like the clanging of swords and the thunder of horses, filled the air.

For the first time in decades, the Konoha army has truly broken into the Land of Lightning.

Chapter 232 Invasion

"Enemy attack!"

! ”

Not long after the Konoha army crossed the border, a shrill scream of terror, accompanied by the sound of a signal flare being fired, roared from the mouth of the Cloud Ninja sentry captain stationed at the border of the Land of Lightning.

Although the Land of Lightning has joined the Five Nations Alliance and the war is scheduled to begin in two days, this secret information has only been circulated among the upper echelons of Kumogakure, and ordinary ninjas are unaware of it.

When the captain of the Cloud Ninja sentry discovered a large number of Konoha ninjas approaching his post with murderous intent, his mind went blank, and his face was filled with terror.

Konoha has invaded the Land of Lightning!

War is coming again!

"Run!"

Having completed his mission, the Cloud Ninja Captain was about to turn and flee with his squad.

But it was too late.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

Four thick trees suddenly rose from beneath their feet, and before they could resist, the chests of the four Cloud Ninjas were instantly ripped open.

"This is......"

With his mouth full of blood, the Cloud Ninja Sentinel Captain looked down at the tree branch piercing his chest, and Tong Kong suddenly shrank back.

Then, with his last ounce of strength, he managed to lift his head, and the last thing he could see was a red and white striped hem.

"really......"

Before he could finish speaking, he died, filled with deep fear and worry.

"Ignore everything else and keep moving forward!"

Without even glancing past the Cloud Ninja squad, Yun Ting led three thousand Konoha ninjas towards the Hidden Cloud Village without changing direction.

It would be impossible to march such a large army on enemy territory without being detected.

Yun Ting didn't care. Right now, most of the Yun Ninja's forces were gathered in Yunyin Village and formed an army. The border defense troops deployed outside couldn't stop them in the slightest.

Just like now, a 500-strong Cloud Ninja border defense force immediately gave chase after seeing the signal, intending to use ninjutsu and ninja tools to slow down the Konoha army, and then wipe out the Konoha army in front of them when other Cloud Ninja forces arrived.

The strategy was correct, but the Cloud Ninja clearly overlooked who was leading Konoha.

It was Yun Ting who made the move once again. Instantly, a violent tremor erupted on the ground where the Yun Ninja troops, who had been deliberately keeping their distance, were standing. Large trees rose from the ground and quickly wrapped around the Yun Ninjas around them.

"Ah! Help me!"

"Damn it! It's Wood Release!"

"The leader is the Hokage of Konoha! Run!"

"..."

Instantly, a series of terrified screams rang out from within the Cloud Ninja Force.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

The Cloud Ninja, who had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the current Hokage of Konoha, were terrified of the former.

Upon noticing that the leader of the Konoha team was actually the Hokage, he immediately lost his will to fight and, not wanting to die in vain, turned to run away.

But if they wanted to escape, they had to ask the trees around them for permission.

In a very short time, most of the five hundred Cloud Ninja were lost, and in the end only a few dozen people escaped.

Yun Ting had no interest in pursuing them and continued to lead three thousand Konoha ninjas in a lightning strike towards Kumogakure.

In the following period, as the Konoha army swept through the Land of Lightning with unbridled arrogance, one Cloud Ninja force after another came to stop them, but they were all easily defeated by Cloud Court.

Eventually, news of the Konoha Hokage personally leading the raid spread far and wide, and no more Cloud Ninja were foolish enough to go and die.

Instead, the scattered Cloud Ninja began to gather in the Hidden Cloud Village, which was clearly Konoha's target, and informed the Fourth Raikage, A, who was busy at the time, of the Konoha invasion.

......

"What did you say? Konoha has invaded???"

Upon hearing the news, Ai couldn't believe it at first.

"It's confirmed! There are three thousand Konoha ninja in total, and this time the Hokage himself is leading the team. Their target is Kumogakure! Raikage, you need to prepare early!" A Kumogakure ninja who had rushed back from his journey said anxiously.

Damn it!

The Fourth Raikage, A, clenched his fists in anger, no longer clinging to any hope of escape.

He never expected that Konoha would not wait even a moment, and would so quickly take the initiative to start a war, and even point the finger at the Cloud Ninja.

"Yugito was right, Konoha is treating us like the easiest target!" Ai's face was full of resentment.

But what's done is done, and all we can do now is to deal with it.

Should we seek help from the other four countries?

The situation is too sudden, and even if we send more reinforcements, it won't be enough to solve the immediate problem.
