Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

Now Yuyin has also started a movement to reclaim its homeland, and their spearhead is aimed at Takiyin. It seems that the matter has nothing to do with Konoha, but...

This action itself shows that Konoha's deterrent power has been exhausted.

The national borders drawn by Konoha are no longer recognized.

"Thank you. I didn't think so much at the time."

Yuzhen firmly denied it. Nara Hideyuki's statement was treating him as Daiying, who was always stirring up trouble.

"Putting aside Amegakure and Takigakure, Lord Hazen, will the war spread? You said before that a major war might still take two years..."

"Of course it will. My guess is based on common sense. Right now, it seems like all countries are either escaping or intending to... Get ready for war."

The last war was not brutal enough, so this war started early. It seems that all countries will be unhappy if the war losses are not increased to a certain proportion.

"Lord Yuzhen, could you please try to put the war back?"

Nara Hideyuki obviously did not want to see the war break out, so he asked such an unrealistic question.

"That's asking too much. Studying medicine won't save the ninja world, but..."

Yu Zhen thought for a while, then spoke:

"Your thinking is wrong. It's not feasible. War is difficult to prevent. Or, rather than preventing a war that is bound to happen, it's better to let it run its course and accelerate the war's progress."

"Beginning" is inevitable and difficult to prevent, but if the effect of "it has started, it has already ended" can be achieved, the war will not cause too much harm.

"Is it to speed up the war process? Lord Yuzhen, what should we do specifically?"

"We can just conduct a decapitation operation. This is the simplest and most effective way. As long as we take down the leader, the enemy will fall into chaos."

This is indeed quite simple to say, but the question is how to do it specifically? Killing the leader means killing the enemy Kage and the higher-ups around the Kage, which is not an easy task for ordinary ninjas.

Given that some enemies are rather special, Yu Zhen seems to have no choice but to take action.

So he continued, "Look at what Iwagakure is doing. If Iwagakure has any plans against the Land of Fire and Konoha, then I will go and defeat the Dust Release."

During the last Shinobi World War, Konoha and Iwagakure lived in peace, so it didn't matter whether they had Dust Release or not. However, when it came to the upcoming war...

It seems that there is no need for the name "Demigod" to continue to be passed down.

"Good idea, Master Yuzhen. Dust Release is indeed difficult to handle for Konoha right now."

Nara Hideyuki immediately expressed his agreement. He could vaguely feel that the so-called bloodline elimination dust release might not be a big deal for Lord Yuzhen now.

Yu Zhen also felt that it would be enough to deal with Dust Release. The attack with annihilation attribute was indeed more difficult to deal with. After dealing with Dust Release, it was hard to say how much suspense there would be in the war.

"Then let's go... Hideyuki, are you returning to Konoha?"

"Master Yuzhen, I will go with you."

"Okay."

Nara Hidenori has retired. He doesn't want to get involved in Konoha's grand strategy anymore. In comparison, it is happier and more unscrupulous for him to follow Lord Yuzhen and carry out lone wolf operations.

After putting aside the subordinates, logistics, and routes, the battle became purer.

When Amegakure and Takigakure started fighting, it seemed that only a small flame was ignited in the ninja world, but Yuzhen had already begun to move slowly towards the direction of the Land of Earth.

Because the Ninja World War is bound to break out.

However, when Yuzhen and Nara Hideyuki were halfway on the road, another piece of news suddenly came, forcing the two to turn around...

Sunagakure declares war on Konoha.

The old former Kazekage, Furui Reito, served as the vanguard of the front line.

Previously, Reito made two requests to the village in exchange for agreeing to Sunagakure's combat strategy, and his requests were quickly agreed.

First, he personally led the vanguard to attack the Fire Nation.

Second, the magnetic ninja Kamakura is not allowed to leave the Sand Village in this war and is not allowed to participate in any combat operations.

Yu Zhen felt the call of his old friend, so he had to put Iwagakure aside for the time being.

Chapter 223 Love Like Tide (Part 2)

"The Wind Country declared war on the Earth Country and the Fire Country... That doesn't make sense. If Sunagakure's target was Iwagakure, why would they bring Konoha with them? It seems that Konoha should be Sunagakure's main target, and Iwagakure is just a by-product."

On the bank of a small river in the north of the Land of Fire, the locals built a cobblestone dam on both sides of the river. The top of the dam was paved with a layer of blue bricks, and a stone slab was placed at intervals. This was a simple stone bench for pedestrians to rest.

At this time, Yu Zhen was sitting on a stone slab, his eyes fixed on the small bridge not far ahead, feeling that everything was messed up.

The main battlefield of the original Second Ninja World War was located in the Land of Rain, where Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Konoha, and Amegakure fought on all sides. It was a typical example of "The Land of Rain is a big stage, come if you dare."

But this time it is different. Although Amegakure was the first to take action, Sunagakure followed closely behind, and the target is very likely the Land of Fire.

"It is very likely that if Sunagakure was unable to declare war on Konoha alone, then their declaration of war would most likely not mention Iwagakure and the Land of Earth."

Nara Hideyuki said as he sat on another stone slab.

He had just received information from Konoha. Due to the urgency of the situation, the "messenger" had changed this time. The village no longer used ninjas, but directly used summoning beasts to deliver the message.

The Sand Village cannot declare war on Konoha alone, because they were defeated by the Iwagakure last time and fled. The Sand Village has implemented a high-pressure policy over the years, and the theoretical source is the idea of ​​revenge against the Iwagakure.

As the saying goes, every bite and every drink has its own destiny. Under this premise, if the Sand Village wants to start a war, then the Iwa Village must be among the targets of the war, otherwise the whole thing will collapse... Ninjas participating in the war also need theoretical guidance, logic to act, and emotional support.

At this point, it can be said that Sunagakure's propaganda is directed at Iwagakure, and its combat strategy is directed at Konoha.

"The Sand Village doesn't have much strategic determination, but it's not their fault. How can people in the desert have determination... What is the reason for the war?" Yu Zhen asked curiously.

"It's all just some high-sounding rhetoric, like the Fire Nation is taking the hard-earned money that belongs to the Wind Nation's people..."

Nara Hideyuki's words shocked Yu Zhen. Although it sounded absurd, it also made people feel extremely realistic... Yu Zhen seemed to have heard of similar reasons for starting a war.

"In short, the militaristic policy implemented by Sunagakure over the years means they will start a war sooner or later. I just didn't expect their first target to be Konoha."

There was a hint of disappointment in Nara Hideyuki's tone towards Sunagakure, because the impression he had of Sunagakure was not like that.

"They keep shouting about revenge, but in reality they only care about profit. It feels like they are taking crooked paths. Is this ninja village really the Sand Village?"

Yuzhen understood the reason why Sunagakure did this. Nara Hideyuki felt strange because he didn't understand the art of winning, but Yuzhen did.

"You don't understand this, don't you? As long as they can defeat Konoha, the humiliation they suffered at the hands of Iwagakure can be washed away... The propaganda can be adjusted. Don't just say they can actually win. Even if they lose, they can still promote it as a win."

Internal propaganda and winning learning combined together are the most magical things in the world.

The so-called martial policy sounds nice, but it is actually typical militarism. The entire Sand Village has long been tied to a chariot.

"So, Sunagakure thinks Konoha is easier to deal with than Iwagakure?"

Nara Hideyuki was a little angry. Konoha and Sunagakure have always been good friends. When Sunagakure was formed and the Wind Country was seeking independence, the Fire Country provided a lot of supplies. He didn't expect that now the "good friend" would look down on Konoha the most.

"It seems so. After all, the Third Hokage won't be eliminated by bloodline. He's too conventional. To put it nicely, he's a balanced ninja. Besides that, more importantly, the Land of Fire is more delicious than the Land of Earth."

If the absolute strong ones are not strong enough, the ninja village as a whole will appear weak, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Konoha should organize an event like "In order to revitalize the ninja village, I decided to debut as an idol."

In fact, Konoha will indeed do this in the future, and the Golden Flash will become famous in the ninja world.

"Master Yuzhen, what should we do next? Should we change our itinerary?"

Iwagakure did not move, but Sunagakure moved first, so Nara Hideyuki asked this question.

Yu Zhen did not answer this question directly. He was carefully recalling the last time he saw Furui Reito... It had been too long and he could no longer remember.

"I just didn't expect that Furui Reito was still alive."

If Reito could die peacefully like Shimizu Daimyo, his life would come to a perfect end. It would only make people feel sad if he were to go to war at this age.

"Master Hama, what does Sunagakure mean by this? Sunagakure did have good relations with Konoha during the reign of the First Kazekage. Are they hoping to soften our stance by sending Reto?"

How is this possible? It's too sci-fi. Nara Hideyuki himself couldn't believe what he said.

Yu Zhen also shook his head and said:

"The situation might be just the opposite. Liedou might not have been sent out, but stood up on his own..."

Yu Zhen couldn't guess what Reito was going to do, but he knew what to do next.

"Let's go, Hideyuki."

Yu Zhen made up his mind.

"Which direction, Master Yuzhen?"

"Southwest... I'm going to write the final chapter of our forty-year friendship."

…………

In front of the ancient well and the firefly boundary marker.

Furui Reito, leaning on a cane, led more than fifty ninjas here and then stopped... This was the advance force of Sunagakure's invasion of the Land of Fire.

Behind him, more than a thousand ninjas led by the Second Kazekage had already set off.

"Master First and Second have already set off. We must complete the pre-emptive intelligence gathering before the main force launches its operation. If you remain here, it will surely cause dissatisfaction among the higher-ups..."

"Standing still? Haha..."

I don’t know what Furui Reito is laughing at. Maybe he is laughing at the fact that the current ninja dares to talk to him like that.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take action before the main force arrives."

"But……"

The young ninja wanted to say something, but when Reito's wrinkled face turned to him and his no longer bright eyes glanced at him, he instantly felt a chill on his neck and his hair stood up.

He was overwhelmed by the old man's aura, staggered back a few steps, and dared not say anything anymore.

Although Lie Dou is so old, when he goes into battle, he can still easily control the team under his command.

After forcing back the young man who didn't know when to advance or retreat, he sat on the ground, closed his eyes and rested, accumulating chakra while increasing his momentum and fighting spirit.

After a while, he reached into the ninja tool bag behind him and took out several bottles and jars, swallowing pills and secret medicines of various dosages into his stomach.

For young and middle-aged ninjas, these secret medicines will make them excited and cause their chakra to continue to rise in a short period of time, but for old guys like Reito, these secret medicines are basically equivalent to suicide poisons.

His condition was no longer suitable for fighting.

However, Reito is still a ninja, his heart still beats, so he thinks he can fight.

After a while, his face became a little redder.

Reto remained motionless, while the Second Kazekage's large force was gradually approaching. This made the surrounding Sand Ninjas increasingly anxious...wasn't this the equivalent of abandoning a mission during wartime? The consequences of disobeying the Kazekage's orders were severe, even if the order was disobeyed by the previous Kazekage.

A few hours later, just when these ninjas were about to lose their patience, Reito suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's really coming."

He looked up and saw that the top of the boundary marker was like the background wall of a female anchor, causing a spatial distortion.

Yu Zhen walked out of the space channel. He was in a hurry to see his old friend and even left Nara Hideyuki behind.

The huge boundary marker under my feet was covered with lush vines. This was also the potted plant that Yu Zhen made last time.

"Don't move here, I'll be back soon."

Liedou used his crutches to gain strength and stood up all of a sudden. He first ordered his subordinates to stay where they were, and then walked towards the boundary marker step by step.

The chakra felt unfamiliar, but the look and overall feeling of the person opposite him indicated that it was Yu Zhen.

"Master Liedou, it's been a long time."

Yu Zhen looked down at Reito who was approaching him. He saw through the other party's weak nature at a glance... If it was just a private meeting, Yu Zhen would never stand so high. It was too rude. He was not an Uchiha.

Now that both sides are fighting, Yu Zhen has reason to express contempt for the enemy.

"Master Yuzhen, you always surprise us every time we meet...it's hard to believe that you are a ninja from that era."

Liedou had made all the preparations, but he still didn't expect that Yu Zhen was in such good shape. He looked like a young man of twenty years old.

"Lord Liedou, why have you come to this? Go back. Why would you get involved in a war between young people?"

Yu Zhen saw that Reito was just waiting there and never crossed the boundary marker, so he understood the other party's intention, so he began to persuade him to leave.

Firstly, he didn't want to punch the nursing home, and secondly, he didn't want to kill his friend.

Liedou no longer has the ability to fight, so why bother getting involved in the war?

In response to Yu Zhen's exhortation, Reito just shook his head.

"Although I am no longer the Kazekage, I am still a ninja of Sand Village, so I naturally need to bear the responsibilities of being a Sand Village ninja."

"Master Reito, someone like you, who founded and ruled the ninja village, ultimately cannot escape the fate of being dominated by the ninja village... Go back, you can't decide anything."
