Hyuga Shin Returns to the Battlefield! Namikaze Minato Raids the Cloud Hidden Command Post!

Namikaze Minato quickly received the news.

When he received the message, Namikaze Minato was still covered in the blood of Cloud Village ninjas.

"Stone Village... huh."

Namikaze Minato felt the pressure on his shoulders increase.

Although Namikaze Minato was young at this time, he possessed extremely high strategic thinking.

If Stone Village and Cloud Village joined forces and attacked Konoha from two directions.

A pincer attack, and Konoha would be unable to attend to both ends.

Then, at that time...

Jiraiya would have to be responsible for one side, and Orochimaru would be responsible for the other.

"And I am Jiraiya's disciple, so I would likely go to that side as well."

"But at this moment, I must first think..."

Namikaze Minato looked at the letter and then asked the messenger about some matters within the village.

Konoha could only be described as having external worries and internal troubles at the moment.

It also made Namikaze Minato quite worried.

"I must accelerate my cultivation progress and master the New Jutsu as soon as possible. Only then can I continue to hold an absolute advantage after Stone Village intervenes." Namikaze Minato secretly made up his mind.

He currently lacked a technique with powerful destructive force.

And it would be best if this technique was hand-sign-less, so that it could be activated quickly and best complement his Flying Thunder God Technique.

Soon.

Namikaze Minato assembled an Elite Squad.

He decided to carry out a Decapitation Operation.

However, decapitating the Third Raikage was unlikely, but other Mid-level Commanders... were feasible.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will burn on endlessly."

"We fight for the sake of the even younger children!"

"If the war continues to worsen... my disciples, Kakashi, Rin, and Obito, would also have to go to the battlefield."

"And what we must do is to prevent such a situation from happening as much as possible!!"

"Before the children go to war, the adults will die on the battlefield first!!"

Namikaze Minato shouted, raising his arms.

The ninjas in the squad were infected by the emotion, cheering, and their fighting spirit soared!

At this time, Namikaze Minato, due to his extremely high kill count, heroic demeanor, and battlefield wisdom, actually possessed Hokage-like Prestige on the battlefield!

A single call, a hundred responses!!

Sukuna was a strong individual in the absolute sense.

The strong had the right to choose their lives.

Whether to choose to become human or to choose to become a "curse."

Sukuna, due to his Four Arms and Two Faces, chose to become a curse.

There might have been many reasons, such as being seen as a monster... but Sukuna did not regret his choice. He lived as he pleased, in his own way.

Only when defeated would Sukuna possibly acknowledge other ways of life.

The current Su Nuo was the same.

He lived as he pleased.

If you wanted him to change... it was simple, just defeat him.

Losing was losing, Su Nuo would not deny it.

No matter what method was used, be it a sneak attack or a Relay Battle, as long as Su Nuo could be defeated, Su Nuo would acknowledge it.

The strong had the pride of the strong; they would not deny defeat.

Outside.

"Shin, do you think it might be ninjas from other villages? They want to weaken Konoha's strength," Uchiha Miya said while eating ramen.

Recently, he found this place called Ichiraku Ramen very delicious, so Uchiha Miya and Hyuga Shin had become regulars.

Hyuga Shin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "It's possible, but we can't rule out that it's someone from within Konoha. The village is in a state of Panic... all the Ninja Clans have strengthened their defenses."

"I heard they're going to increase investment in ninjas again. It seems the war situation isn't good," Uchiha Miya said.

Hyuga Shin nodded as well.

Then he said, "I'll be leaving tomorrow to go to the battlefield."

Uchiha Miya was slightly stunned and looked at Hyuga Shin, "You?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No... generally speaking, huh?"

Uchiha Miya was bewildered and awkward again.

After all, he had also received orders to continue to the battlefield, and his "leave" during this period had ended.

But why was Hyuga Shin also going?

"You killed the Raikage's Son, what are you going there for? Aren't you just a moving target? That Third Raikage is terrifyingly strong. What are the Konoha High Command doing!" Uchiha Miya said, getting angrier and more indignant.

"Miya, this is the Ninja's Destiny, this is a Mission... I will complete it," Hyuga Shin said with a smile.

"Hmph... whatever, I'll fight alongside you anyway," Uchiha Miya said with a cold laugh, indifferently.

"Thank you, comrade."

"Shut up... this is only natural, no need to thank me."

The next day.

Three things happened simultaneously.

Jiraiya returned, and Orochimaru was waiting for him in front of the Hokage Office.

"Long time no see..." Orochimaru's sinister voice came.

"Mhm, I'm back!" Jiraiya laughed heartily and strode forward.

The two walked into the Hokage Office side by side.

The second thing.

Hyuga Shin and Uchiha Miya left Konohagakure and headed for the battlefield.

The third thing.

Namikaze Minato found the Kumogakure command center on the battlefield and, under the cover of night, led a few elite ninjas to quietly infiltrate the Kumogakure command camp.

"Move out!" Namikaze Minato said in a low voice. Everyone immediately scattered and lunged towards their respective targets.

The battle erupted instantly, throwing the Kumogakure camp into chaos.

Namikaze Minato, using the Flying Thunder God Technique, weaved freely through the enemy ranks, his kunai flashing coldly as he reaped lives.

The Cloud Village Ninja fought back fiercely, but it was already too late.

Namikaze Minato quickly destroyed Kumogakure's Command System and personally slew several Jonin before withdrawing from the battlefield amidst the chaos.

With their command structure shattered, the Kumogakure ninja forces descended into disarray. The Konoha forces seized the opportunity, launching a full-scale counteroffensive along the front line, achieving a great victory.

Upon learning of the attack on his camp, the Third Raikage flew into a rage.

However, after this battle, Raikage A understood.

That relying solely on the strength of Kumogakure alone...

From a practical standpoint, it was impossible to swallow Konoha...

They could only ally with Iwagakure!

The news of the Kumogakure command camp being attacked, and Konoha counterattacking and winning, reached Konoha almost immediately.

Konoha erupted in cheers, seeing it as good news.

Meanwhile, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, was delighted upon hearing the news.

The only impact this had was to accelerate the alliance... and allow Ōnoki to be more demanding in the alliance terms with Kumogakure, for instance, taking a larger share in future profit distribution.

At the same time, Hyuga Shin and Uchiha Miya also arrived on the battlefield with this batch of ninja.

This was the Konoha-Kumogakure war facing the Land of Lightning.

For now, they would rest in the camp.

Hyuga Shin saw many injured Konoha ninja groaning in pain.

It seemed the situation on the front lines wasn't great.

"Hyuga Shin, this is your Mission. Good luck."

Soon, the Camp Commander issued the mission.

Go scout a strategic location. This place was crucial to the Konoha Defense Line's key deployment. It was imperative to understand the situation.
