Phew~
boom!
A cloud-piercing arrow.
The abnormal changes in the celestial phenomena quickly caused commotion among the surrounding ninjas.
The ninjas patrolling the observation deck immediately noticed the strange phenomenon and sent out a signal flare.
The ninjas in the nearby camp thought that Kumogakure was coming for a sneak attack, so they woke up from their sleep and ran out of their tents one after another.
But it soon turned out to be a misunderstanding.
But the person who caused this little commotion still had a calm face.
Uchiha Makoto grimaced to relieve some of his embarrassment.
He had obviously controlled the amount of chakra very carefully, but he didn't expect that it was still too powerful all of a sudden.
But after he thought about it, he reacted.
The first two times he used [Thunderbolt] were both used to save Terumi Mei. Nearly two years have passed.
During the missions in the past two years, due to the rare large-scale battles, and facing an extremely powerful enemy, the effect of [Thunder Sky Thunder] was not obvious, so he rarely used it.
Uchiha Makoto's current chakra is dozens of times greater than before.
What he thought was 'very careful' actually used more chakra than the previous full force release.
This skill consumes nearly one card.
Uchiha Makoto looked at the list of members recorded on the scroll in his hand, quickly analyzed it in his mind, and then said:
"Ninjas who can sense ninjutsu and have special reconnaissance abilities are on the line!"
Uchiha Makoto gave an order, and Hinata Hizashi and Sakamoto Izawa took a step forward.
Then Moonlight Gale also walked to the front of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, several more chunin came out one after another.
"Are there only 8 ninjas with sentient abilities? But it's just right, they can be evenly distributed.
The 26th Brigade has a total of 141 people, including me, there are 13 Jonin.
I decided to divide into 5 detachments. Except for me who would act alone under special circumstances, there were 4 other detachments, each with 35 people.
The captains of the four teams are Hyuga Hizashi, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Munehito.
Each detachment has exactly 3 jounin, and 2 ninjas with reconnaissance capabilities are assigned at the same time. "
Uchiha Makoto quickly finalized the distribution of personnel among the four teams, trying to make each team's strength as even as possible.
For example, although Sakamoto Izawa has been promoted to Jonin, his combat ability is still at the bottom among the Jonin.
Therefore, Uchiha Makoto was assigned to the strongest Shisui team.
In addition, Moonlight Hayate, who has the ability of 'penetration', although his current combat power is not strong, his development prospects are very high, so Uchiha Makoto placed him in Kakashi's team.
Although Uchiha Makoto tried his best to balance the strength of each team, he basically assigned those who were familiar with him to Shisui and Kakashi.
As for Sarutobi Asuma, the youngest son of the Third Hokage, Uchiha Makoto also arranged for him to be given to Shisui.
Although even if Asuma died in battle, Sandai could not do anything to him, but he still gave Sandai some face.
If he could still die in battle by following Shisui, then there was nothing he could do.
He does have some selfish motives for assigning the team, but to be honest, if the situation permits, he doesn't need these people to take action.
Since Uchiha Makoto had already proven his strength before, no one asked why he joined a team alone.
“Don’t worry, under normal circumstances, we still act together.
I cannot guarantee that all of you will come back alive after this battle.
But I can guarantee that if a fight breaks out, I will be at the front of the line!
If we decide to retreat, I will definitely be at the back of the line! "
Looking at the young faces of most of the ninjas in the field, Uchiha Makoto's heart sank slightly.
He felt a heavy responsibility.
'The greater the ability! The greater the responsibility! '
This sentence is very suitable for asking yourself.
If you say it to others, it will inevitably mean a bit of moral kidnapping.
However, Uchiha Makoto remembered that Namikaze Minato had made such a request to him.
Except for Namikaze Minato, if anyone said this, Uchiha Makoto would not pay attention to him.
But only Namikaze Minato was qualified to say this to Uchiha Makoto.
Because Namikaze Minato gave Uchiha Makoto a lot, he taught him everything without reservation.
Uchiha Makoto is the first Uchiha to enter the ANBU in recent decades.
It was precisely because of Namikaze Minato's trust that he had the opportunity to gain critical development time.
Later, Uchiha Makoto was able and willing to save Namikaze Minato.
Although he is a time traveler, he has lived in Konoha for 18 years.
—————
He found a sense of belonging.
When he was weak in the past, his only consideration was how to survive.
As his strength has increased over the years, his mentality has gradually changed.
Within his power, he is willing to fight for some people and for the Konoha that everyone shares today!
Uchiha Makoto's eyes swept across the unfamiliar faces, and then returned to the familiar faces.
Facing Kumogakure's tens of thousands of troops, if the opponents get together, Uchiha Makoto can directly transform into a tailed beast and add Susanoo, and can kill thousands of people within two minutes before the tailed beast transformation ends.
But the real war is not like this at all.
Fights between ninjas will basically keep a certain distance.
This is to prevent top ninjas from directly killing large ninjas with area-of-effect ninjutsu.
Rather than killing the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki and the Fourth Raikage, capturing them alive may be the fastest way to resolve the war.
This is Uchiha Makoto's first priority.
"If I am not in the team due to special circumstances, you must obey the orders of the four squad leaders.
As for the on-the-spot decision, it will be decided by the four of you through discussion. "Uchiha Makoto continued.
"Captain! I have a question!" As soon as Uchiha Makoto finished speaking, a team member asked a question.
Uchiha Makoto followed his reputation and saw that the person asking the question was an unfamiliar young man, "Say!"
"Why is the captain not in the team due to some special circumstances?!" the young man asked.
Hearing this, Uchiha Makoto nodded and said: "When I need to deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, I will leave the team.
At this time, you wouldn't want me and the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki to fight right next to you, would you? "
"No, no, no!" The young man who asked the question shook his head like a rattle.
The jounin all knew that Uchiha Makoto was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, so they naturally would not doubt his combat prowess.
And those uninformed Chuunin, even though they already know Uchiha Makoto's 'record', are inevitably a little suspicious.
But hearing his own admission made me feel shocked.
"Deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki?!"
"Then we have to go deep into the enemy's territory!"
"I heard that the tailed beast's attack radius is several kilometers away. If we just get by, we might be gone!"
...
Some ninjas started talking in low voices, unable to help but feel scared.
On the night of the Kyuubi Rebellion, although the actual damage to the village was not great, the earth-shattering explosion could be clearly heard dozens of kilometers away.
I heard that the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki is still a perfect Jinchuuriki, and his strength may be even higher than that of the Nine-Tails.
For ordinary chunin, it makes no difference how many tails there are. As long as it is a tailed beast, they will die immediately if it touches it!
"Don't worry! When dealing with the Jinchuuriki, I won't let him get close to my own ninja."
Uchiha Makoto reassured.
Although there is no way to completely dispel everyone's worries, having his strength as a foundation can still make people feel a little more at ease.
Looking at the silent crowd, Uchiha Makoto said nothing.
He now has the ability and does not want to implement any 'bait' plan.
At least the people in front of him were much luckier than he had been.
During the Battle of Platycodon Mountain that year, he was "semi-voluntarily" selected into the team that faced death.
"If there are no other problems, disband now and the Jonin will stay!" Uchiha Makoto said solemnly.
"Yes!" Everyone immediately took the time to go back and rest. If the fight started, they would not have much time to sleep, or they would not wake up.
"Come to my tent!"
Uchiha Makoto walked towards his exclusive camp.
Regarding combat plans and deployments, Nara Shikaku has already made comprehensive plans.
At that time, you just need to act according to the plan.
He also had his own considerations for dividing a brigade into four teams.
The border of Konoha borders the plain where Tian no Kuni is located, and the fortifications are in the shape of a concave semicircular structure.
Yunyin's camp is divided into three parts, with the middle camp having the most troops.
In order to deal with Kumogakure's three-sided attack, Konoha had to divide its forces.
But the main force is still on the front.
It is also a trident attack, with Konoha's main force in the center, and at least two thousand people must be divided to deal with Kumogakure's main force.
There were three or four brigades on both sides to deal with the other two troops of Kumogakure.
According to the plan, Uchiha Makoto and the third generation will be among the frontal attack teams.
In this way, even if one of the Fourth Raikage and Kirabi is not in the frontal attack team, they can rush to support in time.
At least with Uchiha Makoto's mobility and Warwick's powerful perception range, he would definitely be able to rush to various battlefields in a short time.
If the Fourth Raikage and Kirabi are not in the frontal battlefield, then Uchiha Makoto will directly leave a shadow clone, and Kumogakure will have to send a large number of troops to deal with it.
Although the entire southern part of Tian Country is basically a plain, it is a small country after all.
As long as Konoha relies on fortifications for defensive counterattacks, Kumogakure's forward troops can only leave the plains and enter the forest to fight.
Once you enter the forest, it's Konoha's home turf.
But the biggest problem now is the opponent's jinchūriki and military superiority.
Any fortification would be difficult to resist for a long time under the combined ninjutsu attack of multiple elite jounin.
Fortunately, Kumogakure didn't have many Jonin who were proficient in Earth Release.
If it was Iwagakure, then it would be difficult for Konoha's side to hide in the fortifications.
After all, if dozens of Jonin who are proficient in Earth Release join forces, no matter how large the fortifications are, they can't stop it.
Therefore, when faced with Iwagakure's attack, Konoha's side had no choice but to enter the Land of Grass to fight despite being outnumbered, in order to keep Iwagakure out of the country.
Otherwise, if all the large defensive fortifications on the border are destroyed, even if the battle is won, it will take a lot of resources to rebuild.
Compared to the Earth Release Ninja, when the Perfect Jinchuuriki enters the form of a Tailed Beast, as long as he fires a few tailed beast jade shots at medium and close range, it is basically difficult for any village to defend against it.
But this thing is like a 'nuclear weapon' and cannot be used easily.
After all, the five major countries all have jinchūriki. If a jinchūriki were to appear in a war, there would be a lot of damage.
Of course, one must also take into account the problem that some countries do not have perfect Jinchuuriki.
The reason why the Fourth Raikage did not directly let Kirabi use the tailed beast jade to defeat Konoha's frontal defense was because he had some concerns.
After all, Konoha also possesses the Nine Tails, and the Uzumaki clan is born with huge chakra and is good at sealing techniques.
Even if Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is not a perfect Jinchuuriki, as long as he can use the Nine-Tails' chakra, Kumogakure will be afraid because there are more people on his side.
If Konoha also had a perfect Jinchuuriki, and a tailed beast jade fell, Kumogakure's losses would be even more serious.
When both sides maintain a tacit understanding and start the war according to conventional warfare, they generally will not use jinchūriki at the beginning.
Of course, this tacit understanding is limited to the five major countries.
None of the five great ninja villages have the ability or courage to destroy villages and countries.
Kumogakure's side just wants to defeat Konoha and consume Konoha's ninjas.
In this way, while weakening Konoha's strength, he can also gain the title of No. 1 Ninja Village.
At the same time, he must ensure that he does not consume too much.
The other villages were happy that Kumogakure was weakening Konoha, but they would not sit back and watch one of the villages be destroyed at any time.
This is why in the front of the ninja war, the villages allied in front and stabbed each other in the back.
Currently, Konoha and Kumogakure are testing each other, and small-scale battles continue.
****
Konoha Year 51, January.
Konoha and Kumogakure have been at a stalemate in the north for more than three months.
During this period, Konoha's ally Iwagakure invaded the Country of Grass and a battle broke out with Konoha ninjas.
Since the relationship has not been completely broken, the external rhetoric is: a small-scale battle broke out at the border due to a misunderstanding.
At the same time, the Rain Hidden Village also entered the Country of Grass and caused friction with Konoha.
It was rumored that the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato who was seriously injured also appeared on the border, shocking the surrounding countries in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, Yuyin Village issued a statement, saying it was a complete misunderstanding and immediately withdrew their troops.
Konoha did not pursue the matter.
And a certain man who was called a 'demigod' by the ninja world died quietly after returning to the village.
Yuyin Village also quietly changed hands.
...
At this time, in Konoha Village, although thousands of ninjas went to the battlefield due to the war, the village was still a lively and prosperous scene.
For the villagers, the fourth generation Hokage and Lord Jiraiya were stationed on the northwest border, and the third generation led a group of families to fight against Kumogakure on the northeastern border.
The only thing they worry about is the safety of their families.
As for defeat, there is no need to consider it at all!
Konoha Village East Street, on the main road.
Two beautiful red-haired young women were shopping hand in hand.
Although she was wearing a thick woolen coat, it could not cover the bulging belly of the woman on the right.
She looked to be at least seven or eight months pregnant.
Behind the woman were two little ones, who looked to be two or three years old.
The boy is wearing an orange coat and a red scarf. He has conspicuous yellow hair and three cat-like light-colored whiskers on each cheek. He has a chubby round face and big sky blue eyes. Look. Looks cute.
The boy was holding a girl about his own age.
The girl seems to be more afraid of the cold. The pink suit wraps her body like a rice dumpling. She wears bear gloves on her hands and a white rabbit hat on her head. The girl also has beautiful red hair and her pink face looks very cute. .
When passing by a store selling snacks and trinkets, the pace of the two children immediately slowed down.
But the two mothers were talking and laughing all the way.
He didn't seem to notice that his baby was almost gone.
"Sister Xiang Ling, look at that fox mask!"
"Naruto, let's leave quickly. If we don't catch up with mom and Aunt Kushina, we'll get lost again!"
Little Naruto saw the mask shop on the roadside and was so attracted by the various masks hanging on the wall at the door that he couldn't walk away.
He took Xiao Xianglan and walked to the mask shop.
Kaoru looked at her mother and Kushina who were about to walk out of the street, and immediately pulled Naruto to speed up.
However, Xiang Phosphorus finally lost to Naruto and was dragged to the door of the mask shop by him.
Forget it, anyway, when she got lost while shopping, there would be a few kind-hearted sisters wearing masks who would take her and Naruto to find their mother, so Xianglin just let Naruto go.
Although Naruto, who was not yet three years old, was well developed, he was only about 90 centimeters tall and could not reach the fox mask hanging in the middle of the wall.
He stood up on his tiptoes and used his fingers to reach under the fox mask.
"Little fox, come down here!"
"Yeah~ I got it!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Naruto got the fox mask, but lost his balance and knocked directly onto the shelf. Three or four masks next to him suddenly fell down together, and they all hit his head.
"Ouch~" Naruto covered his head, still holding the fox mask tightly in his hand. It was still very painful when the solid wooden mask hit his head.
Seeing Naruto's tearful eyes, Xiang Ling hurriedly went to help him.
The store owner was a middle-aged man who was cleaning the counter in the store. He ran out when he heard the noise. When he saw the masks on the floor, he immediately cursed and walked forward.
"It's early in the morning, whose kid is here..."
When the shop owner saw Naruto's appearance, his expression suddenly changed. He hurried forward and asked with concern:
"Ouch! Why is it Young Master Naruto! Are you okay? Does it hurt from the fall?"
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I took off your mask!"
Naruto picked up the remaining masks from the ground and smiled sheepishly.
With that said, Naruto blew the dust off the mask and then handed the mask to the shop owner.
At the same time, he held up the fox mask in his hand and put his hand into his trouser pocket, "Uncle, I want to buy this fox... Huh?"
Naruto's expression froze, and he opened both trouser pockets.
No money!
"Sister Xianglan, have you brought any money?"
"No!" Xiang Phosphorus shook his head, and the rabbit ears on his hat dangled.
When the shop owner heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly.
"If you like it, young master Naruto, I will give this mask directly to you!
And of these, you can take whichever you like. "
With that said, the shopkeeper wiped the mask in his hand clean and stuffed it into Naruto's arms while pointing at the mask on the wall.
"Is this... okay?" Little Naruto tilted his head, "Mom said you can't take other people's things for free!"
The shop owner shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no! How can this be considered free of charge?
Thanks to your father for four generations we can live such a stable life.
If it weren’t for the Fourth Generation New Deal that exempted many taxes, how could a small shop like ours continue to operate?
These things are all carved by me and are not worth anything at all! "
"Uncle, did you make all of this yourself? It's amazing! All I need is this fox mask."
Naruto didn't quite understand what the store owner said about taxes and business operations.
But he knew that these masks were actually made by this uncle, and he immediately felt that he was so powerful.
"Hahaha! There is no comparison with the Fourth Generation." The shop owner scratched his head and laughed. He looked at Xiang Lian and said, "Miss Xiang Liao, if you like it, you can choose whatever you want."
Xiang Ling hesitated for a moment and pointed timidly at the cat-face mask in the shopkeeper's hand.
"Uncle, you are such a good person! I will definitely remember to bring money next time!"
Naruto took the mask and left happily, not forgetting to wave goodbye to the shop owner before leaving.
"Walk slowly, young master!"
The shop owner waved enthusiastically and then returned to the shop to continue cleaning.
Early in the morning, before the store opened, he put on two masks upside down, but he was in a very comfortable mood.
I hope that young master Naruto can grow up healthy and strong, and become the pillar of Konoha like the fourth generation of adults.
...
Walking on the road, Naruto happily wore a fox mask and shouted at Xianglan with his teeth and claws:
"Sister Xianglan, look at me, I'm a big fox! Woof woof!"
Since he didn't know how a fox barked, Naruto learned two dog barks.
"That's not what foxes call, meow meow meow~"
Xiang Lian was amused by Naruto and giggled.
Seeing Xiang Lian so happy, Naruto worked harder and harder.
Suddenly, he felt his body hit something. He was about to turn around and apologize, but found that the smile on Xiang Li's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked behind him with his neck curled up.
"Naruto~"
Listening to the familiar voice behind him, Naruto took off his mask and turned back to look at his mother.
Uzumaki Kushina looked at Naruto with an unkind expression, put her hands on her hips, held out her belly, and said fiercely:
"I remember you promised me not to run around before you went out (debane)"
Because of her anger, Kushina instantly revealed her oral habit.
"Mom, I was wrong! I'm sorry! Please don't be angry, please (debayo)"
Naruto's face fell, and he admitted his mistake directly and sincerely, with a flattering smile on his face.
Despite his young age, Naruto is very smart.
He knows that he can be naughty with his father whether at home or outside, but he must never be stubborn with his mother.
Just from the way adults treat him when he goes out, Naruto can feel that his father is a very powerful and amazing person.
But such a father is very afraid of his mother at home. Doesn’t that explain the problem?
All the money in the family is in the hands of my mother. If I make my mother angry, I will lose all the money to buy candy.
Poof!
"You kid, why don't you learn some good habits from your father? You picked up my oral habit so quickly!"
Hearing that Naruto had the same oral habits as her, and looking at his pitiful look, Kushina suddenly laughed out loud.
She wasn't really very angry, but Minato never said harsh words to Naruto, and educating children requires both soft and hard tactics.
Kushina wanted Naruto to know that she had to be trustworthy when speaking, and she should keep her promise not to run around when going out, so she kept a straight face.
Educate children with love, but there must be someone who is afraid to control them.
"Where did the mask in your hand come from?!" Kushina looked at the mask in Naruto's hand and asked in confusion.
Naruto pointed to the store diagonally across the street and explained.
"Then did you say thank you to them?" Kushina was slightly stunned, and did not say anything like paying. The villagers were indeed too enthusiastic.
"Um!"
Kushina rubbed Naruto's head, "Mom likes good, obedient children! But you have to remember to bring money next time, okay?"
"Yes! I also like the most beautiful mother!" Little Naruto hugged Kushina's thigh and smiled.
Kushina scolded: "You are as good at coaxing people as your father!"
"Hehe, this is what my father taught me. He said you must not make your mother angry, otherwise something very terrible will happen!" Little Naruto raised his face and smiled.
When Kushina heard this, the muscles in the corners of her eyes twitched, "Minato!"
"Aunt Kushina, Aunt Mano."
A gentle voice sounded from behind the four of them, and Itachi walked in front of the four of them carrying his brother Sasuke on his back.
"It turns out to be Itachi, and little Sasuke is here too!" Kushina said with a smile on her face.
Itachi put Sasuke down from behind, "Sasuke."
"Aunt Kushina, Aunt Mano." Little Sasuke greeted the two beautiful aunts very politely.
The two beautiful aunts looked at Sasuke's delicate and cute face like a girl, and stepped forward to knead it for a while.
Itachi looked at his younger brother who looked disgusted but couldn't resist, and suddenly smiled.
There was finally no mission today, so Sasuke pestered him to fulfill his previous promise. He insisted on going out to play in such a cold weather, but in the end he refused to walk even half a step.
"Naruto, Kosovo, long time no see." Itachi knelt down and touched Naruto and Kosovo's heads.
"Hello, Brother Itachi." Naruto said happily.
He has a good impression of this handsome older brother who often plays with him.
Seeing Itachi touching Naruto's head affectionately, Sasuke puffed up his face and looked at Naruto with an unkind expression.
Feeling Sasuke's gaze, Naruto glanced at him and showed a friendly smile: `(*∩_∩*)′
'This guy is Brother Itachi's younger brother, and he doesn't like to talk to others! But my parents want me to get along well with him. '
This is Naruto's impression of Sasuke.
Feeling Naruto's 'provocation', Sasuke immediately glared, and with him, he also glared at the man next to Naruto.
Xiang Lian looked at Sasuke with wide eyes and an innocent look on his face.
"Itachi, you're here just in time. Mano and I have to go shopping in the shops on West Street, so I'll leave Naruto and Karin to you."
Kushina handed Naruto and Karin to Itachi with great relief, then turned and left.
Itachi looked confused and messy in the cold wind. He was going to play with Sasuke for a while and then go to practice!
But looking at the three lovely children, Itachi was heartbroken and happy, and played with the three of them.
...
"Wow! Brother Itachi, look! That girl's eyes are pure white!"
Walking on the road, Naruto suddenly pointed ahead in surprise.
Itachi looked forward and saw a group of three people walking towards him.
A girl with pink and jade sculptures, and a boy with a serious expression, behind them is a female chuunin wearing a forehead protector.
All three of them have black hair and white eyes.
Hearing Naruto's words, the female chuunin frowned slightly, but seeing Naruto's appearance and Uchiha Itachi beside her, she didn't say anything and prepared to take a detour and leave.
The boy glared.
The girl looked at Naruto's curious eyes and immediately shyly hid behind the female chuunin, and her originally red face suddenly turned even redder.
Because she remembered that someone said she was a white-eyed monster before, which made her very hurt.
"Her eyes are so cute!"
Naruto looked directly at the girl.
'cute? ! '
Little Hinata's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly unconsciously, and then she blinked, not sure if she heard correctly.
This was the first time someone said her eyes were cute.
She felt as if her heart had been hit by something, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, like a deer bumping around, her whole face turned red, and white smoke billowed directly from the top of her head.
Itachi looked at Naruto in surprise: (￣口￣)!!
He thought Naruto would say something rude, but he never expected...
"Tch!" Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and looked at Naruto with a cool expression: →_→
Seeing Hinata blushing and looking unsteady on her feet, Neji stood in front of her and glared at Naruto in front of her.
"Who are you? How could you say such frivolous words to Miss Hinata! Apologize to me quickly!"
Little Naruto scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "Is cute a frivolous word?
My dad said that no matter what age a girl likes to be told how cute she is.
Every time dad praises mom like this, mom will be very happy!
And I really think she is cute! "
As he said that, little Naruto tilted his head, looked at Hinata behind Neji seriously, and asked:
"I think your eyes are cute, would you be upset?"
Hinata's face turned redder.
Looking at the smile on Naruto's face, thinking about his words.
dad? Mother?
Isn't this the most intimate relationship?
What is he saying?
Hinata's face grew hotter and hotter, and suddenly her vision blurred, and she fell straight up and fainted.
"Miss Hinata! What's wrong with you?"
The accompanying female chuunin immediately supported Hinata, touched her cheek, and was shocked, "It's so hot!"
She only knew that Miss Hinata was thin-skinned and shy, but she didn't expect that she would be so exaggerated that her head was smoking.
"You guy! Look at the good things you did! How dare you..." Neji was so angry that he grabbed Naruto's scarf.
Naruto looked at Neji with an innocent expression.
Sasuke on the side suddenly grabbed Neji's wrist and said coolly:
"This isn't Naruto's problem, he didn't say anything outrageous."
As he said that, Sasuke looked at Xianglan aside and said:
"I also think Xiang Phosphorus is cute! You see, when I say this, she is fine."
Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment and tightened the rabbit hat on his head to cover his slightly red cheeks.
"What did you say?!" Neji was furious and turned to Sasuke.
"Neji!" The female chunin on the side quickly stopped Neji.
"Sister Ling, but they..." Neji looked unconvinced.
Hinata Ling and Uchiha Itachi looked at each other, both of them looking a little embarrassed.
Itachi also just grabbed Sasuke and Naruto, but he didn't know what to say.
After all, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Naruto just said.
"Brother Neji, I'm fine." Hinata, who had calmed down for a while, woke up and persuaded the furious Neji.
Neji glared at Naruto and Sasuke angrily.
"I'm sorry." Hinata Ling nodded slightly to Itachi, and then left with Hinata and Neji.
Before leaving, Hinata turned her head and glanced at Naruto shyly.
When Naruto saw this, he immediately grinned: (＾-＾)
Hinata turned away with a red face as if she had been caught doing something bad.
After walking a little further, Hinata raised her head and asked:
"Sister Ling, those children just now were..."
Hinata Ling explained: "Hinata-sama, the first person I mentioned about you... was the Yondaime-sama's child, named Namikaze Naruto.
The other one is the child of Lord Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan, named Uchiha Sasuke, and there is..."
'Naruto Namikaze? Hinata's mind only stayed on this name, and she basically didn't listen to what Hinata Ling said next.
Neji looked at Miss Hinata who was lost in thought and felt something was wrong.
No matter which big shot's child he is, if he dares to speak rudely to Miss Hinata, he will not be polite!
...
In the afternoon, on the way home.
Itachi walked slowly with Sasuke on his back.
"Sasuke, you looked very handsome when you helped Naruto today. I thought you hated Naruto!"
Halfway through, Itachi suddenly laughed.
Because in his opinion, Sasuke's usual behavior seemed to hate Naruto. He was quite surprised that he would speak for Naruto just now.
And he didn't expect that both Naruto and his brother were so good at flirting.
He's only three years old.
If he was so good at talking, he would probably have a girlfriend by now.
At this moment, Itachi thought of something Teacher Cheng often said.
When a person is weak, he will become more psychologically fragile after having a girlfriend;
And when a person continues to become stronger, he will become even stronger after having a girlfriend.
Itachi didn't quite understand what this meant, but he felt that he might also need a girlfriend.
In fact, many girls showed great enthusiasm for him, but Itachi was not interested.
But at this moment, the image of a cute girl with tear moles at the corners of her eyes appeared in his mind.
Sasuke was silent for a while, then suddenly said:
"Hmph! I don't hate him very much, and my parents hope that I can get along well with him.
Although I don't like him, I can't let others bully him! "
"So that's it! I think you and Naruto will become good friends!"
Itachi came to his senses, turned around and smiled.
"No way!" Sasuke snorted and turned away.
That idiot said it so bluntly when he saw a cute girl. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit rude.
Thinking of this, Sasuke suddenly asked:
"Brother, are there any girls you have a good relationship with?"
"Me? Yes."
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"Not yet..." Itachi shook his head and smiled.
"oh."
Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief and didn't think too much, feeling very happy.
Now his brother belongs to him alone.
****
Fire Nation, Northern Frontier.
After three months of baptism of fire, the Konoha camp was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Kumogakure's side and Konoha's side started a war of attrition.
Originally, Konoha was at a great disadvantage.
But things are different now.
Because the northwest border war started.
Although Iwagakure's side did not launch a frontal attack, the alliance was completely reduced to a piece of waste paper.
Yunyin is waiting, they are waiting for the war to break out in full force on the northwest border.
No matter how strong Namikaze Minato is, Iwagakure has Onoki and two jinchūriki, and Konoha's main force is fighting against Kumogakure, once the northwest border enters a protracted battle, Namikaze Minato will definitely not be able to stop him.
And Iwagakure is also waiting.
Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato had already been dragged away by them.
At the Kumogakure battlefield, it was difficult for the Third Hokage to resist the powerful offensive of the Fourth Raikage. Kumogakure's side suffered the smallest losses in the three battles, and the number of troops on the front battlefield was three times that of Konoha.
You may lose when three against one, but why can you lose when ten thousand against three thousand?
As long as Kumogakure defeated Konoha's frontal troops, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya must have someone to support Kumogakure on the battlefield.
That's when Iwagakure launches his offensive.
Kumogakure and Iwagakure's thoughts are inexplicably the same.
As long as they continue to rely on their superior strength to consume Konoha's defenders, sooner or later Konoha will be unable to defend itself.
But they didn't know that Konoha had similar thoughts to them.
Konoha is also waiting.
There are just some differences between the way you wait and the people you wait for.
In the last three months of protracted battles, the 26th Battalion led by Uchiha Makoto has established considerable military exploits.
And Uchiha Makoto alone killed hundreds of Kumogakure ninjas.
The only pity is that the senior officials such as Sandai and Shikaku did not agree to take the initiative for the sake of safety.
Although Uchiha Makoto, a top combat force, has joined, it is very foolish to abandon the defenses and actively enter the plains to fight with inferior troops.
The Third Generation and the others decided to wait for the opportunity. They waited for the news from Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya on the northwest border that they had defeated Iwagakure. In this way, Kumogakure would be in chaos.
And Namikaze Minato was also waiting, but he was waiting for Uchiha Makoto to stabilize the situation on the Kumogakure battlefield.
At the same time, it is different from Kumogakure.
Iwagakure is an ally of Konoha, and Fire and Earth have signed an alliance.
Iwagakure's act of taking the initiative to tear up the alliance is already disgraceful.
If sufficient results cannot be obtained for a long time, the Earth Kingdom daimyo will definitely be forced by pressure from many parties and put pressure on Iwagakure, thereby affecting the determination of the senior officials to continue fighting and the decision-making of the third Tsuchikage.
The disastrous defeat of the Kannabi War is imminent.
Namikaze Minato's mere appearance at the border was a huge pressure on Iwagakure.
There are a few people in Iwagakure who can guarantee that they will live to see the sun tomorrow after meeting Namikaze Minato.
All three parties were waiting, so the battle situation fell into a strange balance.
However, within three months, Kumogakure's patience was almost worn out.
To be precise, the Fourth Raikage lost his patience.
Kirabi's injury has fully recovered, but after three months of waiting, he did not get the desired result.
...
Konoha Camp, southeast corner.
Uchiha Makoto sat cross-legged on the couch and opened the treasure box.
[Obtain plastic fish bones]
[Get 'Niko's Help']
[Get a pair of old canvas shoes]
[Get 'Niko's Help']

"Two [Nikonosuke]? One-third probability, how come luck has improved so much?!"
Uchiha Makoto looked at the two dice-shaped green cubes in the system backpack and was overjoyed.
Last time, 3 [Niko's Help] were found out of 11 purple treasure chests, and this time, 2 were found out of 6.
In three months, Uchiha Makoto accumulated a few thousand gold coins and sold all the basic equipment that was revealed. The wait is now.
[Physique: 39.99], [Strength: 39.99], [Agility: 39.99],
[Mental Power: 57.5], [Chakra: 238500 (100500+138000)]
In three months, Uchiha Makoto's three attributes of physique, strength, and agility only increased by [0.09].
Only the mental attribute increased by [1] point.
As for chakra, although it had increased by [30,000] points, he felt it was boring for such a few calories.
And these two [Nikonosuke] are the key to Uchiha Makoto breaking through his limits.
"Immortal mode has a huge increase in physical fitness. No matter how strong your physical fitness is, as long as you are not strong enough to hurt others by force, it is better to increase your speed."
Uchiha said sincerely that improving agility attributes seemed to be more important to him than improving physical fitness.
[Agility] mainly corresponds to the improvement of speed, including reaction speed.
With Uchiha Makoto's strong mental power, his psychological reaction speed is very fast, but his physical reaction speed is not as fast as Namikaze Minato.
Not to mention the wave Feng Shui Gate. If the fairy mode is not turned on, Uchiha's response speed is slower than the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
With the improvement of the space he mastered, Uchiha Cheng has a hunch. He has always been able to learn the technique of flying Thunder God.
However, if there is no fast reaction speed, it has learned that the technique of flying Thunder will not reach the level of wave Feng Shui Gate.
At this time, in the column of Uchihacheng's system panel, [physical fitness], [strength], [agile], and [mental power] all appeared after the four attributes of the four attributes appeared.
He took out [Nicole's Assistance], and then put it on the system panel. [Nicole's Assistance] was directly integrated into the panel.
He touched the '+' behind the attribute.
I saw [Agile: 39.99] The data of this column became blurred, and the number trembled.
Subsequently, the number became clear again, and then the number trembled sharply, from [39.99] to [40]
"Ah~"
Uchihacheng feels that the comfortable warm currents are surging throughout the body.
"There is still one!"
Looking at the remaining [Nicole's Assistance], Uchihacheng directly used it on the attributes of the [constitution].
[Physical constitution: 39.99] → [Physical constitution: 40]
"Ah ~ hissing ~"
At the time of Uchiha as the sky, he was surprised to find that the attributes of the [strength] also changed!
[Power: 39.99] → [Power: 40.1]
He felt itchy for a while.
"Oh~"
Unexpectedly, physical breakthroughs, even with the [strength] attributes with the critical point also broke through.
"Sincerity?! What are you doing?"
A gentle female voice sounded outside the account, with doubts in the sound.
