Tsunade didn't stay in the village long. On the third day after Naoki woke up, she rushed to the front line with Orochimaru.
Jiraiya alone can hardly withstand the onslaught of Sunagakure Village.
The most critical thing is the poison developed by Chiyo, Sunagakure Kazekage's advisor, and no one can cure it.
Morale on the Konoha side was low.
However, not long after Tsunade arrived at the frontal battlefield on the western border, the situation quickly reversed.
Not to mention that the arrival of her and Orochimaru instantly added two top combat powers. The most important thing is that Tsunade cracked Chiyo's special poison in less than ten days.
With Konoha's medical ninja system leading other countries, after the antidote formula was delivered to the village, a steady stream of finished medicines and various resources were quickly transferred to the front line.
After the poison was cracked, Sunagakure's puppet master troops lost their "sharp teeth" that roamed the battlefield.
Konoha is the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, and the overall quality of ninjas is very high.
However, Sunagakure is not a small ninja village like Amegakure. It is also one of the five great ninja villages. If Konoha wants to defeat Sunagakure, it cannot be done overnight.
The Third Kazekage in Sunagakure Village, known as the strongest Kazekage in history, was unable to win against the three men of Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, and was repulsed many times.
The Third Kazekage is already in his forties, which is the peak period of a ninja's life. After the age of 50, a ninja's various physical functions will decline significantly.
You must know that the Sannin are only in their mid-twenties and are on the rise.
During this battle, the name of Konoha's "Three Ninjas" truly began to be famous in the ninja world.
Since the third Hokage of Konoha is still sitting in the rear, Sunagakure Village does not dare to put all the pressure on it.
The border battlefield became a meat grinder, and hundreds of ninjas were swallowed by blood and fire.
When a war cannot be won quickly, it will inevitably turn into a war of attrition. At this time, it is time for both sides to compete with each other.
And this is precisely Konoha's strength.
...
Konoha 36th year, March 12th.
Today is the ninja school graduates orientation.
Students who graduated early or graduated normally will all gather here.
Because becoming a genin is just the beginning, and the future classification is the moment that initially determines their destiny.
Now Konoha and Sunagakure are at war. As a high-end combat force, jounin is a scarce resource. There are very few jounin who can guide ninjas.
Even for students from the ninja clan, only those with high talents can have the opportunity to be mentored by the family's jounin, let alone those students with no background.
The three-party melee between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure in the Land of Rain only lasted about a year.
The war between Sunagakure and Konoha has been going on for nearly three years, from a local conflict at the beginning to a full-scale war and now to a war of attrition.
Some small and medium-sized ninja clans suffered heavy losses in the war, and even were directly exterminated.
For example, the Moonlight Clan, which has always been famous for its Konoha-style swordsmanship, has only two hundred members, but it is not weak among the small and medium-sized ninja clans.
Now all four Jonin of the Moonlight Clan were killed in the war.
Chuunin are the backbone of the village, while jounin can participate in major decisions of the village and have voting rights.
After this battle, it is conceivable that the Moonlight clan's voice in the village will definitely plummet in the future.
this is the truth.
Soon, Sakamoto Midorikawa walked into the large classroom and came to the podium. He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Classmates, congratulations! From today on, you will all become a glorious Konoha genin.
It's just that your ninja career has just begun from now on..."
Sakamoto Midorikawa's impassioned speech completely aroused the enthusiasm of some students. It seemed as if they were about to go to the battlefield and contribute to the village's victory over the enemy.
On the contrary, most of the children of the ninja clan are relatively calm. They can understand how cruel war is through their family.
Bai Yu looked at the hot-blooded teenagers in the class and secretly sighed in his heart. Only when he was a teenager in his first life did he feel so hot-blooded watching Naruto.
Now...it doesn't feel that way at all.
These people don't even think about it. Even Naoki, the grandson of the First Hokage, almost died on the battlefield with a little carelessness under the protection of Orochimaru. Who can they rely on?
"Of course, I hope that you will be motivated and obey the captain's orders at the same time. In school, you can fail countless times, but once you start to perform tasks, you may be injured or even killed if you fail once. I hope everyone will remember my words! "
After Sakamoto Midorikawa gave the students chicken blood, he poured a basin of cold water on them. His words were profound and deeply moved.
Only when you are in the middle and lower class can you truly realize that everything is not easy.
"Next, let's start dividing the classes..." Seeing that the hot-blooded young man in the class had calmed down a little, Sakamoto Midorikawa picked up the class list on the podium and began to read it out.
"The first team, Hinata Doma, Sarutobi Keita, and Uchiha Munehito, guide the Jonin..."
When he read this, Sakamoto Midorikawa paused, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Instruct Jounin Hatake Sakumo!"
"Hatake Sakumo!?"
"Konoha White Fang?!"
"Why are Hinata and Uchiha grouped together?"
"Is this okay?!"
As soon as Sakamoto Midorikawa finished speaking, the class was in an uproar.
When it comes to Hatake Sakumo's name, there may be people who don't know it, but the name of Konoha White Fang is so powerful in the ninja world that it even overshadows the current Sannin. He is the veritable number one Jonin in Konoha.
Hinata Doma and Sarutobi Keita themselves are the first and second place graduates in this class.
That Uchiha Munuhito was even more exaggerated. He was the chief graduate three years ago. These three people were in the same class, which was a strong alliance. Unexpectedly, the mentoring jounin turned out to be Konoha White Fang.
This is even more exaggerated than guiding a Jonin to be one of the Sannin.
"What a perfect team!" Bai Yu secretly complained. According to the past class divisions, generally speaking, the balance of graduates should be considered in the team.
But now it seems that this is obviously the top management taking care of this outstanding graduates.
Of course, Bai Yu is not envious at all.
Team transfer usually occurs when the team is downsized. The better thing is that one of them is promoted to chuunin and leads another team.
The bad outcome would be to change jobs due to disability, or die directly.
No matter how you look at it, the configuration of the first shift cannot be used to perform low-level tasks such as finding cats and sweeping garbage.
"Quiet!" Sakamoto Midorikawa raised his voice. At this moment, he had calmed down. It was understandable for a Hyuga genius, a genius from the third generation of the same clan, and the leader of the team was White Fang.
"Second shift..."
"..."
Sakamoto Midorikawa continued to read.
Soon we arrived at Baiyu.
"Class 12...Shiraiha-san, you have been assigned to the class of senior Jonin Oshima Shuichi. You will be in the same class as Chiho Uchiha and Hideto Hyuga from the previous class."
Sakamoto Midorikawa reminded, also feeling happy for Bai Yu.
"This guy Bai Yu is so lucky! He is in the same class as Chiho-senpai!"
"Damn it! Chiho-senpai is so cute, I'm so envious!"
"I heard from my father that Oshima Shuichi is very powerful, and he often goes on missions with White Fang!"
"Why can he be assigned to the same class as Uchiha and Hinata?!"
Some students in the class who knew about it started talking about it.
It's just that some people envy Bai Yu for being able to team up with Uchiha Chiho, a senior who has a gentle personality and is also very beautiful.
Many Uchiha have their eyes set high above their heads and always look very proud, but there are exceptions.
I heard that Uchiha allows foreigners to marry into the family, who doesn't want to eat soft rice? ?
What others care about is that Bai Yu's teammates are Uchiha and Hinata, the first and second place in the previous term, and the captain is also a powerful jounin.
Starting from the fifth class, the leading ninjas began to have special jounin and chuunin. Originally, the resources of the later classes were worse, but Bai Yu's classification result was second only to the first class.
"The above is all about this class division..."
"Teacher, what about me!?" Kushina quickly stood up and asked when she saw Sakamoto Midorikawa put away the class schedule.
"Kushina-san..." Sakamoto Midorikawa was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "There is no arrangement for you on the class schedule. I think the Third Generation has other plans, right?"
It stands to reason that Kushina's grades are good enough that she won't be graded as a chuunin, but the class placement chart doesn't show it, and the school leaders told him to ignore it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the boys who had been beaten by Kushina began to make fun of her.
"Hmph! Outsider! Being able to stay in Konoha is a gift to you. You actually want to be assigned to a class with us. What a delusion!"
"That's right, who wants to be in the same class as you!"
"Come on, don't stay here and be an eyesore."
Although they couldn't beat Kushina, when a group of people were together, the boys became bolder.
Bang!
Kushina slammed the table and heard a click. The table in the back row cracked and she died on the spot.
Her red hair was windless and she exuded a terrifying aura. She clenched her fists with both hands:
"I think you guys want to get beaten—say that!"
Seeing the 'Blood Red Chili Pepper' showing off its power, the boys immediately fell silent.
Bai Yu stood up, gently patted the back of Kushina's hand, comforted her, and then looked at Sakamoto Midorikawa:
"Teacher, if possible, I would like to be in the same class as Kushina."
Kushina hid her true strength in accordance with Bai Yu's request, and the strength she showed was only at the level of the top ten in the class and around the thirty in grade.
But the real situation is that at the end of last year, Kushina came from behind and broke through the "Red Dragon Tribulation" to the stage of a formal knight. Coupled with her terrifying chakra and strength, even though she only knows one ninjutsu shadow clone and her fighting skills are not superb, the average jounin is not enough in front of her.
As for Bai Yu, he also reached the status of an official knight last month and has also learned the A-level medical ninjutsu Shosenjutsu.
He felt that his overall strength should be comparable to that of a Jonin, and probably a bit worse than Kushina who used the full burst breathing technique.
The main reason is that after Kushina's relationship with Kyuubi eased, she was able to use more and more chakra. When practicing, she would always use the Shadow Clone Human Sea tactic for Bai Yu. Dozens of people would defeat him, but he would only have physical strength. Even though he is strong, he cannot withstand it.
Rather than teaming up with others, Bai Yu naturally hopes to be a teammate with Kushina, a person who can take care of her.
"Unfortunately, classmate Bai Yu, the result of class placement is decided by the third generation of adults, and I have no right to change it."
Sakamoto Midorikawa shook his head.
"Then I'll go find the third generation!" Kushina ran out of the class directly.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I'm going to take a look." Bai Yu hurriedly chased after him.
