The Shinobi World War Begins (5)
Issui Tsunade discussed the matter in detail for a long time, and the division of Konoha's various teams was very clear. The harmonious relationship between the two Hokage made the others in the Hokage's office feel genuinely happy. They seemed to see the scene of the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage governing Konoha together back then.
The final decision was made, and the Konoha's forces are roughly as follows: A reconnaissance team, led by Mitarashi Anko, with subordinates Aburame Muta, Tokuma Hyuga, and Ranka. These are all ninjas with strong bonds, and their close cooperation will surely allow them to pinpoint the enemy's exact location. A logistics and medical unit, led by Special Jōnin Shizune, with subordinates including Sakura Haruno and other medical-nin. Shizune and Sakura are both students of the Fifth Hokage, Princess Tsunade, and are highly skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, making them ideal for treating the wounded.
The Intelligence Division is led by Inoichi Yamanaka, the head of Konoha's Intelligence Division. Its main subordinates are Aoba Yamashiro and Tenga, who have dedicated their lives to intelligence work; arguably, no one is more experienced in intelligence than them. As for the Sensor Division Sensor Division, Konoha lacks ninjas capable of handling such a crucial role, so the position of Sensory Unit captain remains undecided. Perhaps other ninjas will be suitable candidates, as Konoha cannot fill all positions, and other ninja villages also have capable individuals. The close-combat unit is comprised of members of the Hyuga clan, who are well-suited for close combat. The Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist is practically invincible in close combat; very few ninjas can defeat them in close combat. During the Konoha Chunin Exams, Naruto's victory over Neji was largely due to the Nine-Tails 'Chakra. Therefore, close combat is handled by Neji Hyuga and Hinata of the Hyuga clan, along with other Hyuga Hinata Hyuga, forming the close-combat unit. The mid-range combat unit is led by Kakashi Hatake, with Might Guy as a subordinate member. The first unit consists of several key personnel: Might Guy, Rock Lee, Mita Yamanaka, and Nara Ensui. They are fast and capable of both close and mid-range combat, allowing them to attack enemies from mid-range and support other close-combat units. The second unit comprises the long-range combat team, consisting of Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi from Team 10, subordinate to the late Special Jōnin Asuma, along with other members. These three work well together, and Shikamaru Nara Konoha), is ideally suited to relay battlefield intelligence back to headquarters. The third Surprise Attack Division comprised of Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanaka, and Hana Inuzuka. They are skilled in special Ninjutsu and Secret Technique, sometimes playing a crucial role on the battlefield and forming an indispensable part of the overall force. The fourth unit is the Daimyo's bodyguard, led by Genma Shiranui and Namiashi Raidō. Their extensive experience and considerable combat prowess make them ideal for the Daimyo's role, as they were formerly members of the Hokage's bodyguard, making their protection of the Daimyo a natural fit.
The above is a general overview of the personnel divisions in these units. Of course, there are definitely many people not included here, but there are too many people to list them all. This is just a rough summary. The remaining personnel will be assigned to the above units after all the ninjas from the Five Great Nations have gathered.
Besides these regular combat units, there are a few special personnel who have not been assigned, such as the Fifth Hokage Tsunade Senju, the Sixth Hokage Issui Kanna, and Shikaku Nara. Issui and Tsunade are Hokage, so even though they are not the leaders of the Allied Shinobi Forces, their status is still very high. Shikaku Nara is Konoha's AI and can be used as an advisor, so he is not suitable for being sent to the battlefield.
The personnel composition is now complete. Next is the procurement of war supplies, such as ninja tools, Explosive Tag, flashbangs, and fog grenades. Everyone needs to be purchased; they can't go to the battlefield empty-handed. Although each ninja is responsible for their own combat supplies when on a mission, this is a large-scale operation, and the ninjas can't be left to handle their own supplies. The village must provide some replenishment, but of course, the most important things are still their own responsibility.
Finally, Tsunade and Issui also discussed Naruto's situation. After all, the goal of this war was the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails- Tailed Beast, and Naruto's safety was crucial to the outcome of the battle. Therefore, they decided to give Naruto some time to train during the war, and it would be best if he were taught by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure. After all, Killer B used the Tailed Beast with incredible skill, and his mastery of them had reached an unparalleled level.
After discussing these matters, Issui went home to rest. He also needed to prepare properly for the upcoming battle. After all, his journey in this world would come to an end after this war, and then he could simply change the new world and enjoy his Hinata.
Five days later...
A large number of ninjas stood in front of the Konoha gate. Among them were not only the village's Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and Special Jōnin, but also the village's kage. The scene was quite spectacular, and all the ordinary villagers came out to see the army off.
After bidding farewell to the remaining members of Konoha, Issui and Tsunade led all the participants to the Land of Lightning, where they would join forces with the ninjas of the other five great ninja villages to form the Allied Shinobi Forces and defeat the evil enemy.
Naruto had already set off ahead of Issui and the others. He was going to receive guidance from the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure to better utilize the Nine-Tails' power. Of course, Naruto was still kept in the dark about the battle. With his impulsive personality, upon hearing such news, he wouldn't obediently watch his companions fight the enemy while he hid somewhere waiting for the war to end.
Issui brought all his strength with him to the battlefield this time. The people he Soul Seal on included the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Rin Nohara, Guren (a former Guren of Orochimaru), and Yuki Haku (who didn't have his soul imprinted but voluntarily stayed by Issui's side). His ninja beasts included the White Dragon Christina (not summoned), the Crystal Dragon Fini (not summoned, and he dared not summon her, as this little girl was too terrifying), and the Blazing Liger Leins (Sumeru Space). In addition, there was Deidara, the Explosive Art, who acted as a double agent. The fighting power around Issui could be said to be invincible. If all of these people attacked together, even Madara would have to retreat.
Christina and Fini are both dragon Summoning. The two dragons are extremely powerful and could easily defeat Super Kage Level ninja. They can be used as Tailed Beast.
The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, can basically be classified as invincible. The two of them could fight against Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha together. Apart from the Ten-Tails, who was a bit troublesome, the two Uchiha were not worth mentioning. With the two super ninjas working together, no one could withstand a single blow.
Rin Nohara is an even greater weapon. Imagine if Issui revealed Rin's true identity to Obito. Obito would probably side with Issui without hesitation. There's a saying, "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?" With the girl he loves right in front of him, what is there for him to hesitate about? Even the smartest person will involuntarily become a fool in the face of love.
Guren, this kid who can use the special escape technique Crystal Release, is extremely powerful, probably at the Quasi-Kage Level. He can play a very important role on the battlefield. Even a small mosquito is still meat. Issui is going to make this war simpler. He wants to defeat the enemy with overwhelming power. A long tug-of-war is not going to work, so everyone with some ability should be put to use.
Haku is also incredibly powerful. A while ago, Issui helped optimize Haku's Kekkei Genkai, and the results were excellent. After the Kekkei Genkai, Haku's Ice Release became even more formidable, allowing her to freely manipulate icy weather and control the hardness and temperature of ice. In terms of Ice Release, it's safe to say that even Issui might not be able to defeat her. Her evolved Kekkei Genkai power has become several key abilities: Ice Enhancement, which strengthens Ice Release, making the freezing, chilling, and slowing effects of her Ice Release even more powerful. Anyone affected by Haku's Ice Release will find movement extremely difficult; Ice Weather, which creates an icy weather environment (consuming a huge amount of Chakra). Under this weather, the effects of all elemental Ninjutsu except Ice Release are halved, while Ice Release Ninjutsu is doubled. This effectively reduces the strength of both herself and her enemies. That's almost a fourfold increase; the difference between four ranks is unpredictable. Anyone facing that would be worried. Unless you know Ice Release Ninjutsu, you're doomed. Ice Mirror Image: Creates a mirror made of ice. Anyone reflected in this mirror will be trapped in a Genjutsu world. To escape this Genjutsu world, you must defeat someone with the exact same abilities as you. If your abilities are the same as theirs, and your progress is matched by theirs, only wisdom can defeat this mirror image. Ice and Snow Goddess: Transforms herself into a goddess of ice and snow (a life-consuming technique, use with caution). She can freely create various ice creatures with life-force fluctuations to attack enemies. These ice creatures can use ice-attribute Ninjutsu. She can also summon the extreme ice of the Ice Abyss to freeze enemies. This extreme ice can reach temperatures below -200 degrees Celsius, close to absolute zero; anyone touched will die!
In short, Haku's strength has reached Kage Level. If she were to sacrifice her life and transform herself into Ice and Snow Goddess, even Madara Uchiha would shrink back in fear, his life over. However, as long as Issui is alive, she won't allow Haku to use such a forbidden technique. Perhaps Haku will die after using it, which would be too good for her. Although Issui can Soul Seal and revive her at any time, who knows if this forbidden technique will affect her soul? After all, Orochimaru's Reincarnation Technique also causes great damage to the soul.
