Chapter 62 Going to the battlefield
"Young Master, the clan leader has informed you to hold a clan meeting."
Aangji, who returned to the lounge, heard the news that the servant at home came to deliver the news.
"Okay, I got it, I'll be there right away." Aangji took a sip of tea and walked out of the house to the patriarch's house.
As for the clan meetings held every two days for three days, they were boring and annoying. As the elder of the clan, Cangji had no choice but to not attend them without any reason.
"Clan leader and elders, I'm late." Cangji said politely.
"Haha, it's not too late, we have just arrived." One of the elders said with a smile.
Aangji then walked to his seat and sat down, waiting for the clan leader to announce the reason for the meeting.
"Now that the Second Ninja War has come to an end, do you still remember the resolution we made at the beginning?" Clan leader Hinata Ryusuke directly raised the topic without delay.
"Ah, is the Ninja War finally coming to an end?"
"Unknowingly, the Great Ninja War has been going on for more than nine years."
After hearing what the clan leader said, some elders couldn't help but sigh.
"Clan leader, are you talking about sending clan members to participate in the war at the end of the war?" Some elders immediately reacted.
"I almost forgot, this does happen."
"I also heard my deceased father mention it."
The sound of discussion immediately rang out in the family meeting hall.
Not only the other elders, but Aoji also heard his grandfather Hinata Kumikawa talk about it.
"Come to think of it, grandpa had proposed that we could give priority to those who volunteered to participate in the war, so should I..." Aangji thought silently.
"Elders, do you have any juniors who want to participate in the war, or send them to the battlefield?" Clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke asked as he looked at the people present.
"this......"
"I'll think about it again."
"My son has been feeling unwell recently."
"I......"
A group of elders were chattering and making various excuses.
"Clan leader, count me in!"
Of course it was Aoji who said such unusual words.
With Aangji's strength now firmly entering the shadow level, as long as he is careful on the battlefield and does not advance too recklessly, there is basically no threat to his life.
What's more, after training for so many years and performing so many missions, Aangji just wanted to go to the battlefield to hone his will and test his current strength.
After hearing Aangji's words, the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke was stunned for a moment.
"Aoji, you have to think clearly. Now you are the only one in the third line of clan patriarchs. If you make any mistakes again, this lineage will have no heir." Clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke persuaded Aoji.
Hinata Kumokawa helped him a lot during his lifetime, and he did not want to see Elder Kumokawa die.
"Yes, Aangji, it won't be too late to consider these things after you get married and have children and have an heir who can inherit the third line." Some kind-hearted elders also advised.
"Don't worry, clan leader, and all the elders, I will protect myself." Aangji said this confidently.
"How are you going to protect yourself? You know even Elder Yunchuan died in the battle, and you have some of the skills of Elder Yunchuan!" An elder who also had a bad relationship with Aangji said sarcastically.
"That's right, you are still young. Although you have the reputation of being a genius, the battlefield is no child's play. Geniuses are more likely to die young." This was the speech of an elder who was dissatisfied with Cangji for taking up so many of the family's resources over the years.
"Then, do you think this is enough for the two elders?" The words came from behind the two elders who spoke last.
"who!"
The two elders trembled all over, shouted loudly, and tremblingly fell forward.
"Oh, two elders, why are you so excited?" At this time, the voice came from in front of the two elders again.
"Second Elder, Fourth Elder, what are you two doing?" Immediately, other elders couldn't help but frown and looked at the embarrassed two people.
"This, this, this..." The second elder and the fourth elder were stammering and speechless.
It was clear that Hinata Aoji's voice came from next to their ears just now, and his breath even blew on their necks. Why is he in front again now?
The two of them were frightened and confused.
If Aangji used the teleportation technique, how could he move forward and backward suddenly?
And they didn't see Aangji move.
Since entering the meeting hall, Aangji has been sitting firmly on the futon without moving at all.
If it wasn't Aangji, then who was it just now?
If so, how come no one here realized what just happened?
The more they thought about it, the more horrified they became. They got up and sat down one after another, and then no longer dared to look at Aangji's position.
Until now, they were still not sure whether the person just now was Hinata Aoji.
In fact, someone on the field noticed it, and that was the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke.
However, he only saw a shadow passing by and did not see anything specific.
However, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke was sure that it was Hyuga Aoji, because he was the only one on the scene who could do such a thing.
"I didn't expect that Cangji's strength has reached this level. He really left us old guys behind." This is the true thought of the clan leader.
"Cangji, have you already thought about it?" the clan leader asked again.
"Ah, yes, I have already decided." Aangji said calmly, as if everything that just happened had nothing to do with him.
In fact, it was Cangji who used the teleportation technique just now to scare the two elders.
However, Aangji's teleportation technique was so fast that people could see the afterimage he left behind.
Therefore, during the back and forth, only the strongest clan leader present could vaguely see something.
Since Aangji himself has already said this, it is not easy for others to say anything more.
In the end, a total of 5 clan members, including Aangji, chose to participate in the war.
Two elders are preparing to go to the battlefield in person, while the other two elders have sent their successors.
Before Aangji made up his mind to go to the battlefield, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uchiha En had already gone to the battlefield.
Aangji can be said to be the last person in their team to go to the battlefield.
It has been 38 years since I came to Konoha, and Aoji is 15 years old.
The current situation in the entire ninja world is that Konoha has signed an armistice agreement with Kumogakure and Iwagakure, but Kumogakure and Iwagakure are still fighting.
In order to divert the village's internal conflicts, Kirigakure also made a comeback a year ago and fought with Konoha in the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Waves.
Since the war with Konoha was stopped by Sansho Hanzo in the Rain Country, the remaining Sunagakure Village is now stationing most of its forces in the River Country to confront Konoha.
But the reason why it is said that the war has entered the final stage is because Kirigakure and Sunagakure are ready to give it a go and start a war with Konoha.
It is estimated that after this offensive and defensive battle is over, the three parties will most likely sign an armistice agreement.
If Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure all cease fighting, then Kumogakure and Iwagakure will not dare to continue fighting no matter how much hatred they have, otherwise they will only be able to take advantage of other ninja villages.
Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato are now leading a team to fight against Wave Country and Kirigakure in the Country of Yu.
Uchiha En fought against Sunagakure in the River Country.
The battlefield Aoji is planning to go to this time is the Kingdom of Waves.
Although the ninja force that attacked Konoha a year ago and caused Hinata Kumikawa to be poisoned and subsequently died has been completely wiped out by Hatake Sakumo.
However, Aangji was not prepared to swallow this tone, he wanted revenge!
And the target of revenge is Sunagakure!
It can be said that Aangji is angering other ninjas, but he is happy!
The ninja force that caused Hinata Kumikawa's death must have come from Sunagakure. If you can't find the true master, then you have to find the commander behind the true master!
Not long after, Aangji set off with the new batch of ninjas on the front line.
As a special jounin, Aoji can command a squadron.
The size of a squadron is one special jounin, three chunin, and each of the three chunin will command three genin, for a total of 13 people.
Of course, there is a brigade above Aangji, and the commander is an elite jounin from the Kurama clan, a major family of Konoha illusions.
During this period, the Kurama family was still a time of great talent, which was completely different from the later period. It had declined to the point where there was only one person who had awakened to the realm of blood succession.
The limit of the Kurama family's blood inheritance is five-sense control. Their blood inheritance genjutsu is no worse than the Uchiha clan's genjutsu, and is even far stronger than the genjutsu under the kaleidoscope.
Just being able to use illusions to affect reality is terrifying enough.
And this elite jounin captain of the Kurama family is a blood successor limit awakener.
Along the way, Aangji also learned a lot about illusions by chatting with this strong man from the Kurama clan.
Aangji's Byakugan can see through most illusions, but he is not absolutely sure about the Kurama clan's blood inheritance limit - five-sense control and the Uchiha clan's kaleidoscope illusions.
However, he didn't think he would easily fall into it and be unable to extricate himself.
"Aoji-kun, I didn't expect that you are so strong, and my control of the five senses can't trap you for long." Kurama Hazo sighed.
"The genjutsu of the Kurama clan is well-deserved. In front of the Byakugan of our Hyuga clan, most of the genjutsu are ineffective. I didn't expect it to trap me for so long." Aangji felt a feeling of fear from the bottom of his heart.
After a day of traveling, when night came to rest, Aangji asked Kurama Hazo to use a five sense control illusion on him.
It can be said that the Kurama clan's illusion skills are very strong!
This is Aangji’s most intuitive feeling!
Compared with Uchiha Yan, the level of illusion between the two can be said to be very different.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Uchiha Yan himself does not follow the genjutsu style.
But this is an exaggeration. You must know that Uchiha En's illusion can be broken in seconds if Aangji is prepared.
But it took Aoji nearly a minute to remove Kurama Hazo's illusion!
The first is that the Kurama clan's blood-inherited illusion - five-sense manipulation, cannot be lifted by ordinary methods.
For example, it is completely useless to first stop the flow of chakra in one's body, and then choose to suddenly burst out one's own chakra to interfere with the influence of genjutsu on oneself!
It is difficult even to awaken a person who is practicing the technique in reality. Ordinary shaking is of no use, and strong stimulating actions may be needed.
The only way Aangji knows now is to close his five senses if he wants to lift the Kurama clan's blood inheritance illusion!
In fact, any illusion can be dispelled through this method, but how many people can close their five senses in illusion?
Fortunately, the Hyuga clan is good at controlling the flow of chakra and acupoints in their bodies, so Aangji chose to use this method to seal off his five senses, and finally escaped from the illusion space.
If within this minute, an enemy had launched a fatal blow to Aangji, Aangji might have died directly.
"It's okay, it's okay. You must be careful in the future. If this happens, you won't have time to react." Even after breaking away from the illusion, Aangji was still sweating profusely.
"Haha, don't worry. In reality, if a companion is present, the person who performed the technique can still be awakened through pain." Kurama Hazou looked at Aangji and explained.
For such an outstanding junior, Kurama Hazo is happy to make friends.
Regardless of Aoji's strength or the background of the Hyuga clan, making friends with such people can bring a lot of convenience to the Kurama clan.
Afterwards they talked for a while, and since they had to continue their journey the next day, the two of them went back to their tents to rest.
"Sure enough, you can't underestimate the world." Aangji, who was a little complacent because he had awakened Ice Escape and had broken through the shadow level, couldn't help but whisper.
No wonder it is said that elite Jonin with special means have the power to threaten Kage-level powerhouses.
Tonight, Aangji finally saw it!
