Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

"Lord Yuzhen, the two ninja clans have finally sent us news. They hope to hold talks with us at the designated location."

Before leaving the Fuma clan's front-line workshop, Yu Zhen received the latest information from Nara Hideyuki who had hurried over.

"Okay, agree to it. They can choose the location, but we'll decide the exact time of the meeting... Just say we need a break after a series of battles."

Well, after a series of battles, no one is dead, but we need to rest.

"Lord Yuzhen, we need to be vigilant. These two ninjas give me a bad feeling."

Nara Hideyuki knew that Yuzhen was always thoughtful, but he still couldn't help but remind him.

Actually, looking at the busy Fuma ninja here, Nara Hideyuki also knew that his reminder was a bit redundant, but...

Just check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

If you want to discuss border issues, just send heavyweight ninjas to the front-line camp. Why bother with holding talks at a designated location?

Yuzhen glanced at the "future man" Forrest Gump who was following Nara Hideyuki and asked him:

"what do you say?"

"I think...we should really be more vigilant."

On the contrary, Hatake Sakumo felt that there was no need to remind Yuzhen at this time. He wanted to confirm Yuzhen's attitude.

"Lord Yuzhen, your reputation of 'not killing' has been spreading throughout this area recently. But if those two ninja clans take hostile actions against us next... what should we do?"

In Hatake's impression, Lord Yuzhen has always had a good reputation, so he is worried that Yuzhen will be bound by this reputation.

But Yu Zhen didn't care. Want to use his reputation to blackmail him? He was really crazy.

"I hope to avoid situations where someone takes advantage of me, but if that happens..."

"What else can we do..."

"Just slaughter them."

Chapter 161 Iwaliagawa

Speaking of the word "slaughter", it gives people a very bad feeling. Yu Zhen feels that he has never done such a thing...at least that's what he thinks.

But in fact, among the ninjas present, there is someone who does this often...I am talking about Hatake Sakumo who asked the question.

Of course, when on the battlefield, subjectively, Hatake has basically no intention of slaughtering the enemy.

However, objectively speaking, he often caused facts such as "brutal massacres".

If he was carrying out a mission alone, after the battle, he would often be the only one on the battlefield who had the right to continue breathing.

Yu Zhen came with the mission of demarcating national borders and maintaining peace. In fact, he should not have been so soft on other ninja clans. The most appropriate approach was to use both kindness and force.

As for his reputation, even if a certain ninja clan was completely wiped out, it would not actually damage his credibility... He went to negotiate, but the other party took advantage of his goodwill and tried to murder him. At this time, he has the natural right of self-defense.

No one would blame Yu Zhen if he over-defended himself or expanded his power a little.

Don't forget, no matter how kind Yu Zhen was before, he was still confined to the framework of the ninja's style of behavior.

Since he's a ninja, there will certainly be times when he raises his sword. No one can assume that Yu Zhen doesn't have a sword just because he didn't draw it. These are two different things.

As for whether others are willing to believe that it is the shameless small and medium-sized ninjas who are plotting against Yu Zhen, or Yu Zhen who is plotting against the other party...to be honest, it is not difficult to judge.

For Yinghuo's side, rationally speaking, there was no need for them to do such a thing. Even if they wanted to attack certain ninja clans, why would they need to let their leader risk his life? This was inconsistent with their usual style of doing things.

Emotionally speaking, based on Yu Zhen's previous reputation, many people are more willing to believe that he is not the kind of unreasonable person who only knows how to kill.

In short, when Yu Zhen was ready to enter the rainforest area, he immediately sent someone to inform the Ayukawa clan and the Uotani clan to confirm the time for the meeting.

Then the people of the Ayukawa clan informed Yinghuo of the location of the meeting.

And just the night before the meeting, a large number of Hyuga ninjas brought different reconnaissance teams, using "searchlights" and "x-ray cameras" to scan the meeting place directly.

"Lord Yuzhen, those ninjas indeed have ill intentions. They have set up an ambush and other targeted combat arrangements for that so-called meeting place."

Soon, the relevant information was gathered in Yu Zhen's hands.

It can only be said that those ninjas wanted to plot in front of the Byakugan, either they had no idea about Hyuga ninjas, or they didn't know that there were many Hyuga ninjas in the Firefly Front camp.

The direct combat power of the Byakugan is basically weaker than that of the Sharingan, but on the one hand, it is not difficult to open the eyes, and any Hyuga ninja who is born and survives can use the Byakugan. Secondly, the strategic value of this kind of eyes is reflected here.

The Byakugan's battlefield intelligence gathering capabilities far surpass the Sharingan by several orders of magnitude. In wars between ninjas, intelligence advantage is directly related to overall victory, so the Byakugan is a strategic weapon.

Want to set up a barrier to block the Byakugan? Is this something that ordinary ninjas are capable of doing?

Besides, setting up a barrier is superfluous. How big-hearted and stupid is Yu Zhen to rush into the barrier set up by a strange ninja clan without any suspicion?

"It seems that the situation is indeed heading in a bad direction. Lord Yuzhen, should we take action in advance?" asked Nara Hideyuki.

Yuzhen thought for a moment, then said:

"No need. Order the other two combat battalions to deploy tonight and encircle..."

After a slight hesitation, perhaps because Ayukawa was unlucky, or perhaps because Yuzhen had heard the name of this ninja clan more often recently, and its strength seemed to be stronger than the other ninja clan, so it became the top priority target.

Since it is an "erasing" combat method, Yu Zhen thinks that a Mount Tai crushing combat method should be adopted, and seventy ninjas should be thrown into this battle at once. Then don't even think about seeing a living person in that village again.

"Go and surround and destroy the Ayukawa clan's village. Our team will remain nearby. When we see smoke rising from the meeting place, we will attack anyone escaping from it... Hideyuki, you will command our team."

"Yes, Master Yuzhen."

Following Yu Zhen's orders, the other two combat battalions quickly and quietly left their camp.

Theoretically, a personnel transfer of thirty or forty people can be considered "large-scale", and such a transfer can rarely be completely concealed from the enemy's eyes, but Yinghuo was looked down upon.

They can easily bypass the enemy's surveillance units and move. Although the enemy seems to light up the map, the Firefly Ninjas are actually hiding in the fog of war.

Yuzhen's side has an absolute advantage in intelligence. In this situation, not to mention that their hard power is far stronger than the enemy, even if they are in a weak position, they can still grasp victory in their hands.

The trap is not a trap, the thing surrounding the trap is the real trap.

After making the arrangements, the next day, Yuzhen took Hatake Sakumo and went to the meeting place with only two people.

The mobilization of the combat team was later than Yu Zhen's action. By the time Yu Zhen met the so-called clan leader, they had quietly deployed their troops further out.

The meeting place was a depression surrounded by cliffs on three sides. It seemed that as long as they blocked the entrance, they could surround and kill Yu Zhen... What a good strategy and good terrain.

"Something's not right, Nara-sama."

After blocking the entrance from a distance, the Hyuga ninja discovered a new situation.

"what happened?"

"Some ninjas are quietly evacuating here..."

"Evacuate, at this time?"

Nara Hideyuki was very cautious, so when he heard the news, he subconsciously thought that his siege plan against that ninja village had been exposed.

"Judging from their forehead protectors, it seems that the ninjas from the Uotani clan are retreating." Hyuga Ninja said again.

Obviously, this additional information helped Nara Hideyuki eliminate the wrong options.

This is the function of rolling the eyes, just tell us whether they are subtle or not.

Not to mention the forehead protector, if the Hyuga ninja is willing, he can even come up with more detailed information like "all the ninjas in red underwear are evacuating."

“Are there many people evacuating?”

“Not too much, not too little, but hardly noticeable.”

Now Nara Hideyuki understood everything completely.

"It's just an alliance of two ninja clans, and yet someone has the intention of betraying them... They're even willing to cut off their tails, which is quite a deep thought."

It is obvious that in order to continue to deceive the Ayukawa clan, the Uotani clan only withdrew the key ninjas at this time. As for the ordinary members of the clan... they were regarded as the price they paid for burying the Ayukawa clan.

"Don't worry about them. Prioritize Master Yuzhen's orders."

"Yes, Lord Nara."

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Nara Hideyuki thought for a moment and decided to let the ninjas leave for the time being.

At this time, Yu Zhen was communicating with the patriarch of the Ayukawa clan.

"Lord Yuzhen lives up to his reputation of 'not killing'. Just as the rumors say, he likes to treat people with sincerity. He even came to the venue with only one guard."

If you listen carefully, you can hear that this person's tone is filled with uncontrollable sarcasm... This reckless guy can't even put up with good acting skills.

Yu Zhen just smiled, and then said calmly:

"First, I came here almost alone not because I want to be sincere, but because I think you are not to be feared. If you are not so narrow-minded, you should be able to see the difference in strength between us. Second, the ninja next to me is not a bodyguard."

Do you think I'm Senju Tobirama? How can I be killed while negotiating with others?

Yu Zhen was not polite either. In front of so many enemy ninjas, he almost said the famous saying, "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone here is trash."

"Where's the other clan leader? Is he setting up some trap?"

Chief Ayukawa was extremely furious because of Yuzhen's words. In the original conversation, he had also mocked Yuzhen's IQ, but on the one hand, he was directly humiliated by Yuzhen, and on the other hand, his "far-sighted" battle plan was exposed so casually. Now he was furious and embarrassed.

"Those who are hypocritical and unwise will surely die here."

He shouted, swung his hand violently, and then smashed a cup.

Yu Zhen sighed inwardly, thinking that no wonder such a ninja tribe hid in the rainforest to survive. If they were in the Land of Fire, based on the intelligence level of their tribe leader, they would have been wiped out long ago.

As expected, smoke rose from the meeting place, but it had nothing to do with Yu Zhen. It was the enemy releasing some kind of poisonous gas.

Most of the enemies put on gas masks, but a small number of them were also infected... It was obvious that the reckless man's clever plan was aimed at his allies, and he hid some details of the attack from his allies.

Destroy your enemies while weakening your allies, all for the sake of an unbreakable alliance.

"Gas masks, what can they protect against?"

Seeing the fog surging, Yu Zhen's body slowly rose. He came to a high altitude and began to help the enemies increase the concentration of the fog.

Hatake Sakumo quickly escaped and fled to the outskirts of the smoke to hunt the enemy... In theory, Yuzhen shouldn't have brought him with him, because Yuzhen would perform better alone, but it would be too inappropriate to not bring anyone with him, which would make the enemy doubt whether he was the real Yuzhen or just some shadow warrior.

"W-what?"

“Why don’t gas masks work?”

“Chief… Chief!”

"what……"

Screams were heard one after another. Who made them choose a place where fog could not spread easily? The gas mask was effective and had no quality problems. However, as a gas-proof material, it might not have much resistance to acid corrosion.

Clothes, skin, muscles, bones, some ninjas began to reveal their unknown inner side layer by layer.

Some smart people had already started running out immediately, but this was not a good idea. Yinghuo's combat team was blocking the outside...

No, it's actually a good idea because you can die very quickly outside.

Just twenty minutes later, Yu Zhen floated back in front of the combat team.

"Master Yuzhen, there are only a few ninjas who escaped..."

Nara Hideyuki immediately reported to Yuzhen, and also explained the fact that another key figure of the ninja clan had escaped in advance.

"So they were scheming against each other. Interesting."

After listening, Yuzhen also explained to everyone that some of the ninjas inside had gas masks and some did not.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had to deal with powerful enemies while also backstabbing their allies. How could they be so busy?

But after all the hard work, it's still a waste of time, right?

"Hyuga ninjas, spread out and pay attention to your surroundings."

"Stay here and wait for news from the other two combat brigades."

"After the fog clears, go sweep the valley to make sure there are no fish that slip through the net."

Yu Zhen gave orders in an orderly manner, with a caution that made people feel sick.

After making the arrangements, he turned around and asked Hatake Sakumo, who hadn't played much of a role:

"what do you say?"

"I think... it's not cautious enough."

Yu Zhen was stunned for a moment. What did this mean? At this time, he noticed that Hatake Sakumo seemed to be looking in a certain direction with a pretended deep look.

There are still enemies? Where do they come from?

Yu Zhen seemed to be thinking about something.
