Shenyue Xingyun: "A little."

"But I think this is fine. I will take action in the upcoming battle."

“If Iwagakure leads the team, I can simply repel them head-on. The war shouldn’t last too long.”

Both of them sensed a strong sense of confidence from Shenyue Xingyun's words.

Wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, then repel them head-on.

But... is the opponent really capable of doing that?

Having witnessed Huang Tu's powerful Earth Release ninjutsu, they were all somewhat uncertain about their own abilities.

Hyuga Hizashi frowned, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Brother Xingyun, in that case..."

“No problem.” Nara Shikaku suddenly interrupted Hyuga Hizashi, saying calmly, “In that case, we’ll do as you say.”

"I'll go arrange the defenses."

"Hizashi Jonin, send a squad of Hyuga ninja to assist me in scouting the area around the camp."

After explaining the situation at the camp to Shingetsu Seiun, Nara Shikaku turned and left with Hyuga Hizashi.

After getting away from the main tent, Hyuga Hizashi asked in confusion, "Shikaku Jonin, why didn't you let me speak just now?"

Nara Shikaku said, "I don't think it's necessary."

Hyuga Hizashi: "But Nebula's approach is a bit too presumptuous."

"What if..."

“There’s no chance of anything going wrong,” Nara Shikaku said. “At most, we’ll just have to tighten our defenses.”

"Although it's a bit passive, it's not exactly risky, and the level of risk is acceptable."

Nara Shikaku said, looking at Hyuga Hizashi: "Hizashi Jonin, when the difference in troop strength is not significant, war, apart from command factors, mainly depends on the difference in high-level combat strength."

"Simply put, the key to the situation lies in the contest between Jonin Nebula and Huang Tu."

Hyuga Hizashi remained silent.

He understood this principle, but his understanding of it was not very deep until he saw the scene of the field shaking when Huang Tu made his move on the battlefield of Iwagakure. Only then did he have a more intuitive understanding of the power of a strong ninja.

Compared to those who are truly close to Kage level, the difference in strength between the other Jonin is simply too great.

But he was still worried.

The last time I saw Shingetsu Seiun make a move was when the two of them fought against Sunagakure together.

Back then, while Shingetsu Seiun's swordsmanship was formidable, neither Yoko nor Yekura seemed to possess the same overwhelming power as Huangtu now. Several years have passed; has Shingetsu Seiun's improved strength truly been enough to withstand Huangtu?

Feeling uneasy, he sought Nara Shikaku's opinion.

"Shikaku Jonin, do you think Nebula can defeat Huangtu?"

“Of course I don’t know,” Nara Shikaku said. “If the Jonin Seiun is no match for us, we can change our strategy and make further plans.”

"No matter how strong Huang Tu is, he can't easily kill a Nebula Jonin."

Hyuga Hizashi thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What if the Jonin from Nebula wins?"

A glint of light flashed in Nara Shikaku's eyes.

"Winning once will greatly boost morale and turn the tide of the battle."

"If we can keep winning... the war will be pretty much over."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but feel hopeful.

"Brother Xingyun."

"You'd better step up and stand up for yourself!"

Chapter 375 Yakushi Nonou: You've got the wrong person.

The news that Shingetsu Nebula was in charge of the overall command of the Iwagakure front spread like wildfire across the Iwagakure battlefield.

The higher-ups had no intention of hiding the news, nor could they. The Konoha ninja needed the name of Shingetsu Seiun to boost morale, and the retreat of Nara Shikaku's organization's defenses could not escape the detection of the Iwagakure ninjas, not to mention that a group from Iwagakure had also encountered Shingetsu Seiun.

As everyone knows, the Leaf Village Demon Star, who made a name for himself in the Third Shinobi World War, has come to the Leaf Village camp to become the new commander-in-chief.

Some were happy, while others were pessimistic, and there was much discussion about it behind their backs.

That night, Uzuki Yugao, now subdued, returned to Shingetsu Seiun's camp.

"Didn't I already cure you?" Shenyue Xingyun asked, "What are you here for?"

Uzuki Yugao skipped over with her hands behind her back: "What, can't I come?"

"Are you hiding someone here?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a battlefield."

"We need to be aware of the potential impact."

Uzuki Yugao was very skeptical: "Really?"

"When you went to war, did you never... secretly spend time with your girlfriend?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "...Of course."

Uzuki Yugao stared into Shingetsu Seiun's eyes, but couldn't discern anything amiss.

"Forget it."

"That's not what I came here to talk about."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Speak quickly, I have a meeting in a bit."

Uzuki Yugao looked around and then whispered, "I heard everyone talking about you behind your back."

Shingetsu Nebula: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing much, just discussing arrangements for tightening the defensive line." Uzuki Yugao hesitated before asking, "Are you really confident in dealing with the Iwagakure guys?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "It's alright."

Uzuki Yugao: "What do you mean by 'okay'? If it's okay, it's okay; if it's not okay, it's not okay."

Shenyue Xingyun raised an eyebrow: "What's your hurry?"

"Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we've tried it."

Uzuki Yugao pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment. After a while, she spoke up: "I feel like you're a little different this time."

Shenyue Xingyun: "What's different?"

"Are you thinking of doing a seven-game winning streak again?"

"No, no!" Uzuki Yugao jumped back in surprise. She explained, "I meant style."

"You seem a bit more arrogant now than before."

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but that's the gist of it."

Shingetsu Seiun probably understands what Uzuki Yugao is trying to say.

Prior to this, his fighting style had always been rather passive; he would minimize his attacks and avoid fighting altogether.

However, this time, when he took on the role of the battlefield commander-in-chief, he boasted that Huang Tu would come to him, showing a much more aggressive style.

There are several reasons for this.

On one hand, he knew that behind the ninja world's conflicts lay the machinations of Otsutsuki Shinobu and Black Zetsu, and that the ninja world would ultimately have to cooperate to fight against external enemies. Therefore, he wanted to avoid casualties among ordinary ninjas as much as possible during the war.

On the other hand, he didn't intend to just go through the motions this time.

Come here.

I might as well make it look pretty.

The position of commander-in-chief is the highest qualification for a ninja and the one that earns the most recognition from the villagers. He was looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Hiruzen Sarutobi would have after the mission was accomplished.

Is it fulfilling the promise that "the village belongs to you young people," or is it a different stance?

Turning around, Shingetsu Seiun looked at Uzuki Yugao in front of her and said impatiently, "You don't need to worry about the battle."

"I have my own rhythm."

"Go back quickly."

Uzuki Yugao didn't want to leave: "Wait, what's going on? Tell me about it!"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Are you leaving or not?"

Uzuki Yugao: "What if I don't leave?"

Shenyue Xingyun remained silent, and waved her hand to set up the barrier.

Five minutes later, Uzuki Yugao failed to discern the rhythm of Shingetsu Seiun, but her own rhythm was revealed.

Very fast.

Holding Uzuki Yugao by the scruff of her neck, she led her out of the tent, and Shingetsu Seiun walked towards the main tent.

Although a basic strategy has been established, there are still many aspects that he needs to personally discuss and be familiar with, such as the detailed arrangements for personnel and emergency response in case of unexpected events.

It is foreseeable that he will not have much time to rest until the battle on the Iwagakure front ends.

That day, the meeting in the command tent went on until midnight, and it was ultimately Nara Shikaku who suggested that the meeting be temporarily adjourned.

"Nebula Jonin, it's getting late, let's rest."

Shenyue Xingyun: "I'm not tired."

Nara Shikaku: "It's not a matter of being tired or not. You are the commander-in-chief and the main force in dealing with the loess. You must ensure your physical condition."

“That’s right.” Hyuga Hizashi also said, “Don’t worry, I will lead the Hyuga people to patrol and be on guard. You can rest assured and I will send a signal if there is anything unusual.”

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Hyuga Hizashi was, after all, a master of the Byakugan. With him leading the team, even Onoki couldn't approach the camp silently.

"Then I'll go back and rest."
