Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

Good, really good.

At this time, the other two combat battalions had just set up their camps, but Yu Zhen had already issued an order to set out again... Damn, is there really a war without bloodshed?

Although they had a rebellious heart at first, after facing the reality, it has to be said that the Kato family knelt down very happily.

Putting aside the difference in strength between the two sides, Yu Zhen's reputation also played a huge role... Everyone knows that he treats people equally, is fair, and keeps his word.

Surrender to him and stop using any evil tricks, and you won't have to worry about being held accountable afterwards.

This is a virtuous cycle. Yu Zhen has a good reputation, so other small and medium-sized ninjas believe in him and are willing to join his army. The more small and medium-sized ninjas pledge their loyalty to him and are treated equally, the better his reputation will be.

Although Yinghuo's "combat speed" was very fast, Yuzhen still adopted a steady and cautious strategy. After moving the camp a distance to the north, he did not rush to deal with the next target, but quietly waited for the ninjas who "escorted" the Kato clan to return.

After the team regrouped, the combat meeting regarding the next target began.

Since the next goal and plan were very simple and clear, and there was not much opportunity to show off, Yu Zhen took the stage alone and prepared a sentence or two to finish what he wanted to say.

"The next target of our battle is the Inuzuka clan. As the name suggests, the Inuzuka clan is a ninja clan that raises and fights alongside ninja dogs."

"Compared to the previous Kato clan, the Inuzuka clan is larger in scale and has stronger average strength, but in a sense, they are easier to deal with than the Kato clan."

The Kato ninjas who haven't mastered the art of spiritualization are vastly different from those who have, and their "awakening" rate is far too low.

If you insist on saying what the characteristics of ordinary Kato ninjas are, maybe they have some talent for illusion?

Kato Oshiro, who was attending the meeting, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that we were praised, so should I be happy?

"Because the Inuzuka clan is almost entirely focused on direct combat, they don't have many tricks, and this direct combat capability is far weaker than ours... so defeating them is not difficult."

"But I still want to try to subdue them."

"Considering that people who keep dogs might develop a bad temper, I devised a strategy to deal with the Inuzuka clan... That is to steal their dogs. If we take the ninja dogs away, they will be toothless and have no tricks left."

amount……

Someone keeps a dog, and you steal it? Isn't this battle plan a bit too ridiculous? Are you here to fight? ... Kato Oshige asked himself, if he were an Inuzuka ninja, what would he think of such tactics?

Well, a dog is equivalent to a ninja tool, so it’s not too shameful if it’s stolen... at least it’s not as shameful as having your body stolen.

"Rob, rob the dog? Are we really going to do this, Lord Yuzhen?" Someone thought this plan was a bit ridiculous, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Really, don't be blinded by the appearance of war, and don't forget the purpose of our march north." Yu Zhen said, he was indeed not joking.

"Please repeat, what is our strategic goal?"

The ninja immediately stood up and said:

"Survey the Fire Nation's borders and respond to neutral and hostile forces with a steady and conservative approach, in order to maintain peace on both sides of the border for as long as possible after this battle."

"So, do you understand?"

"Understood, Master Yuzhen."

"Okay, sit down."

These two battle plans of Yu Zhen seem very dramatic, but in fact they highlight an extremely sad reality - facing the Yinghuo organization which already has considerable strength, small and medium-sized ninja clans have no power to resist at all.

Yinghuo is in an absolutely advantageous position and holds the absolute initiative on the battlefield, so they can fight however they want and whenever they want.

The purpose of this operation is not to kill people, so the purpose must be clear, the outcome must be stable, and the war strategy can be as flexible as possible.

Yu Zhen is definitely not here to play house.

…………

The Firefly Ninjas headed to the battlefield and threatened the Inuzuka clan's village.

After setting up their formation, the Inuzuka ninjas had to leave the village to meet the enemy.

Yuzhen stood in front of the team, with only thirty ninjas behind him.

He signaled to a ninja beside him that it was time to start, and the ninja shouted loudly to the other side:

"Inuzuka ninjas, would you like to talk first? We still have something to discuss!"

"We have to fight first... Your Lord Yuzhen is well-known. I want to see how he will treat us."

Yu Zhen frowned. Was he being fearless? Despite his good reputation, wasn't it a bit unrealistic for him to use the enemy's pity towards him as a weapon against this enemy?

"Sure enough, someone has developed a bad temper. It's a disease that can only be cured with severe electrotherapy."

Yuzhen nodded to the ninja beside him, who took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Then fight... come here!"

In a flash, the barking of dogs rang out one after another, and the Inuzuka ninjas rushed over with their ninja dogs... Some brought more than one dog, and some rode on the backs of dogs as dog knights.

Yu Zhen first turned into a flash of lightning and rushed out in an instant. He did not launch any special attacks. He came in front of a dog and slapped it in the face.

After the strong thunder electrocuted the dog to the point of foaming at the mouth and rolling over on all fours, Yu Zhen's subordinates, represented by the Nara ninja, immediately transformed into a dog-catching team and quickly tied up the ninja dogs one by one.

Under the strategy of separating humans and dogs, the combat effectiveness of the Inuzuka clan was instantly halved.

After being electrocuted, the dog suffered great psychological trauma, and the ninja dog's owner also suffered a lot of psychological trauma...

Chapter 157 Eternity

"Master Hama, those Inuzuka ninja are yelling again."

In the temporary command room of the front-line camp, the reconnaissance ninja was earnestly reporting real-time intelligence to Yuzhen.

Three days had passed since the first battle, and during these three days, the Inuzuka ninjas had become increasingly frustrated.

Because on the first day, they sent out more than seventy people and more than eighty dogs to besiege the Firefly Ninjas. As a result, most of their people were injured and miraculously no one died, but all the dogs were arrested.

To be honest, the Inuzuka clan has been in the ninja world for so many years, and this is the first time they have experienced such a strange war... They can't figure out whether the enemy treats them as nothing, or treats the ninja dogs as nothing.

"Are you still bringing the dog?" Yu Zhen asked.

"Some bring dogs, some go empty-handed," said the scout ninja.

"Then keep catching dogs. When they run out of dogs to take, we'll talk to them again."

"Yes, Master Yuzhen."

It is impossible for the Inuzuka clan to get their ninja dogs back intact. On the one hand, their ninja dogs are used differently from ordinary summoned beasts. They are almost all companion dogs, and rarely sign summoning contracts... They are very loyal, and have a sense of belonging as long as the dog is there.

After all, there are always some Pokémon who don't want to live in Poké Balls.

On the other hand, even with a summoning contract, they could not take the ninja dog away, because before catching the dog, Yu Zhen had already ordered the Uzumaki clan to set up a barrier to block the summoning.

I can only say that Yu Zhen really put a lot of effort into dealing with a bunch of dogs.

In fact, at this stage, Yuzhen no longer cares whether ninjas like Inuzuka or Kato will choose to join Hotaru and Konoha. As he said, his mission this time is to maintain stability and peace on the border.

Whether the Inuzuka are willing to join or move away and merge with other ninja clans to form a small ninja village, the result will make no difference to Yuzhen.

He arranged for his subordinates to continue catching the dog according to the original plan, while Yu Zhen picked up the secret record from the Kato family that he had just read.

According to this document, the birth of the art of spiritualization is quite dramatic and legendary.

A long time ago, an ancestor of the Kato clan was severely injured by the enemy on the battlefield. He thought he was dead, but in fact he was just seriously injured and on the verge of death.

In this state, he experienced a complete "near-death experience".

He felt that his spirit had entered the Pure Land after death, a world without time and space, frozen in an instant yet able to travel through eternity.

There, he met his ancestors who had long since died and his descendants who would die many years in the future, and had a lively conversation with them.

However, he was unable to stay in the Pure Land forever. He didn't know how long he had been there, but in reality, only a quarter of an hour had passed. In short, his gradually recovering body pulled his soul back to the world.

From then on, no matter how hard he tried, he could not return to that peaceful world.

But after returning from the Pure Land, he discovered that his "soul", or "spiritual body" to be more accurate, had become very solid. After a long period of exploration and training, he was able to enable his spiritual body to move independently of his physical body.

This is the origin of the "art of spiritualization".

This person recorded the entire training process, but the spiritualization technique has extremely high requirements for the qualifications of the ninja, so few ninjas of the Kato clan can practice it successfully.

After briefly reading the information, Yu Zhen felt that the art of spiritualization had a strong scalability. Based on his intuition, he felt that this art was related to the Impure World Reincarnation, the Human Path·Soul-sucking Art, and the Outer Path·Reincarnation Art.

It seems worth studying, even if only to be able to make better use of Impure World Reincarnation in the future.

After reading the secret record, Yu Zhen thought for a while, then put it aside and began to inspect the front-line camp.

After walking around the camp and finding that everyone was doing their job seriously and no one dared to reveal any flaws, he came to the noisy "temporary cell".

Originally, the barking of dogs here was endless, and the anger mixed in the sound was easy to distinguish. However, when Yu Zhen came here, the dogs instantly became obedient.

They all crawled on the ground with their limbs, their mouths buried between their front paws, their bellies pressed against the ground, and their tails tucked between their buttocks.

Yu Zhen stepped into the barrier, grabbed a few dogs at his feet and gave them a few rubs, almost scaring the dogs to death.

"You guys aren't attracted to small animals. I've heard the best hunters are able to blend in with nature. It's clear I'm more qualified."

Small animals? The surrounding Uzumaki ninjas thought that even the smallest of these ninja dogs looked like calves, with their fangs protruding outwards. They didn't look like small animals at all.

Besides, what qualifications does Master Yuzhen have? Can't you smell the burning smell on the ninja dog? Guess where this smell comes from?

These ninja dogs were so scared when they saw you that they didn't dare to bark easily.

"You guys are making so much noise that it's giving me a headache. Are we still going to work? If anyone barks again, I'll just stew them."

Ninja dogs can use chakra, and they are much smarter than ordinary dogs. Therefore, they can understand what Yuzhen said, and bury their heads lower after listening.

"See? Most of the time, dogs can understand human language better than humans and communicate more efficiently. After all, humans have too many thoughts and are not as simple as dogs."

"..."

Dogs are simple? These dogs are just not stupid, otherwise they really would be stewed.

After a few more days, there were more and more dogs in the Firefly Front camp, and the ninjas of the Inuzuka clan could only come alone.

There are still a small number of ninja dogs in Inuzuka's village, but most of them are puppies, and they no longer dare to bring dogs out.

Without the dog, the Inuzuka's fighting power and will to fight were greatly reduced. After fighting one or two symbolic battles, they finally lost their temper completely.

Nara Hideyuki looked at the enemy slumped on the ground and began his speech according to the pre-arranged plan:

"We won't make things difficult for you. You have two choices. The first is to abandon your traditional sphere of influence and move further out. We will then return the ninja dogs to you and will not attempt to take any spoils from you. The second is..."

"Needless to say, we choose to surrender..."

The Inuzuka clan's head hung his head as he said:

"I've heard before that Lord Hazen, the leader of the Firefly Organization, possesses skill, intelligence, and courage, while also possessing a heart, character, and moral standards far exceeding those of ordinary ninjas. I didn't believe such a person existed before, but now I understand that I was the frog in the well."

Nara Hideshiko said, "Why didn't you do that earlier? You're quite good at talking, but what effect will it have if you praise people now? If you weren't so stubborn, you would definitely get better treatment."

The Inuzuka clan would not be needed in the next battle at all, because the team already had sufficient frontal combat power, so Yuzhen directly decided to send the surrendered Inuzuka clan back to the rear.

The Inuzuka might still be useful in reconnaissance and tracking, but Hashima has a better option - there are so many Hyuga ninjas out there, so why use the Inuzuka?

To be honest, the Hyuga clan is actually quite arrogant at heart, but one good thing about them is that they are willing to obey the strong.

A little bit of arrogance is understandable, and it's far from being incurable. After all, their ancestor is Otsutsuki Hamura, and the Byakugan is directly inherited from Otsutsuki Kaguya. With pure blood and a thousand-year-old heritage, it's understandable to be a little arrogant. It would be abnormal if they weren't.

Anyway, these Hyuga ninjas would never show off in front of Yuzhen. On the contrary, they are quite happy to work with Yuzhen.

Compared to the Hyuga main family, Yuzhen is obviously fair, sincere, powerful, and has a better leadership style.

In short, Yuzhen's strategy is going smoothly and can continue to go smoothly for a while, but it will not go smoothly forever.

Northwest of the camp, within the scope of the later "Taki Kingdom".

Under the pressure of strong external forces, several local ninja clans with less hatred gathered together to prepare for a meeting.

The leading "backbone" ninja clan is the Moriho clan. The abilities of this clan are somewhat similar to those of the Akimichi clan, but they do not transform their bodies. Instead, they rapidly mobilize chakra during battle, adopting a "concentrate on one point and burst to the limit" hand-to-hand combat approach.

It is somewhat similar to Tsunade's super strength and Paintenkick, but it is definitely not as powerful as hers.

After gathering everyone together, Chief Moribao spoke:

"The Firefly is coming with great force. Their purpose is clear: to absorb or drive away all the small and medium-sized ninja clans in this direction... To be honest, although the Firefly organization is good, I have no intention of being inferior to them, nor do I intend to give up the land I have lived on."

There are always people in the world who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. This is normal. After all, being the boss is addictive.

"But what can we do? The other party is obviously much stronger." someone asked.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to fight to the death..."

"Wait a minute, the Yinghuo Organization may not be uncommunicable. I am willing to speak with them as a representative. Perhaps we can avoid war and protect our interests."

Suddenly, a ninja spoke up. Unlike the ninja clan leader who was surrounded by a large group of people, this person was only followed by a young boy.

"You are……"
