Battlefield Reporter White Zetsu

"Think about it, even their Main Family Young Masters bring Branch Family escorts when they go to the battlefield, but what about you? You're going to fill the lines on the Iwagakure battlefield. Who knows if you'll even make it back alive."

"If you die, and then all the money you saved gets taken by some Main Family Young Master you always hated... tsk tsk!"

"Anyway, he definitely won't feel bad spending the money you worked so hard to earn."

"If he had any conscience, maybe he'd send a bouquet of flowers to your grave."

"But thinking about it, that's also quite difficult. He'd have to control his expression then. It wouldn't be good if he burst out laughing at your grave."

Hyuga Himon listened, breaking out in a cold sweat, his breathing growing rapid: "Stop talking, stop talking!"

This was simply a nightmare!

Just imagining that scene, he felt that if they gouged out his Byakugan right now and replaced them with a pair of Sharingan, he could probably awaken them and power up to three tomoe in minutes!

"I'll do as you say."

As for saving money, it was best to wait until after the war.

Qingye nodded with satisfaction, then turned his attention to Yūhi Kurenai: "As for you, Kurenai..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I get it too, Qingye, you don't need to say any more!"

Yūhi Kurenai quickly called out to stop him.

Qingye's mouth was too terrifying.

She felt Himon was already drenched in sweat.

Exchanging the mission reward for Explosive Tags, maximizing survival, this would also save her father the grief of losing a child.

Yes, perhaps she could also ask her father for more money!

On another side of the Land of Fire, on the border of the Land of Grass.

Three Iwagakure Ninja sped along, arriving in front of a mountain valley.

"Captain Tsuchikawa, the Windless Valley entrance is ahead."

The middle-aged Iwagakure Ninja on the left said to the youth in the middle of the three.

"Mm."

Tsuchikawa, the Jonin youth referred to as Captain, nodded slowly: "Once we infiltrate from here and cross the Golden Wheel Mountain Range for over ten li, we'll be in the heartland of the Land of Fire."

This was also the mission for their three-man squad.

He, a Jonin, would lead two Chunin to infiltrate and pass through this crucial passage, entering the Land of Fire!

Once inside, the three of them would harass the Konoha Ninja's logistics and transport teams while coordinating with the Iwagakure forces already in the Land of Grass to secure this valley entrance!

This would open a gap in the defensive line constructed by Konoha.

The Iwagakure army and logistics forces could then pass through this valley and march deep into the Land of Fire. At that point, a large swathe of the Land of Fire's heartland would become theirs, belonging to the Land of Earth!

The young Iwagakure Ninja on the other side had a grave expression: "Such an important place, Konoha must have stationed ninjas of sufficient strength to guard it. I will use Sensory Ninjutsu as much as possible to search for enemies."

His specialty was Sensory Ninjutsu.

It was precisely because of this that he was assigned to this mission.

"However, Captain Tsuchikawa, you became a Jonin at just twenty years old. Why must you undertake such a dangerous mission?" the young Iwagakure Ninja asked with a bitter expression.

One Jonin and two Chunin, with him being a Sensory Ninja.

This could be considered an elite squad in any ninja village.

But he had a bad feeling in his heart.

This mission was too dangerous!

Tsuchikawa, a Jonin of such young age, had a bright future ahead of him.

If it were a mission assigned by the village, it would be one thing, but he actually volunteered for this mission!

Even a young Chunin like himself knew how dangerous infiltration missions into enemy territory were.

"Shut up!"

Tsuchikawa sharply rebuked: "What kind of talk is that? Are you afraid of death just because the mission is difficult? Do you think you're worthy of being an Iwagakure Ninja?!"

This mission was indeed somewhat difficult, but the greater the difficulty, the greater the merit upon completion.

Moreover, with his talent and strength, even if the opposite side was defended by Konoha Jonin, he was confident he could defeat them and pass through.

At the very least, a safe retreat would absolutely not be a problem.

The young Iwagakure Ninja and the middle-aged Iwagakure Ninja exchanged glances and said nothing more.

Both felt very uncertain in their hearts.

The three of them cautiously infiltrated the valley.

Not long after the three left.

Behind them, behind a protruding rock on the ground, two strange, entirely white creatures slowly emerged from underground.

"The last one was a Tokubetsu Jonin, but this time it's a real Jonin. Uchiha Aoya is in for some trouble," White Zetsu A said, watching the three figures depart.

White Zetsu B chuckled, "I wonder if that kid will be as lucky as always and manage to keep his life this time."

"How long have we been following Uchiha Aoya?"

"Don't remember. One year, or two? Anyway, ever since I was split off, Lord Madara has had me following that kid Uchiha Aoya."

"It's been that long, huh," White Zetsu A sighed.

Uchiha Aoya, one could say, was the most active on the battlefield, yet also the luckiest person he had ever seen in his limited life.

White Zetsu B recalled, "Speaking of which, that kid's squad has been wiped out three times already, right? I wonder how long this current team will last."

The first time was the team he was assigned to after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

Not even a few months after that team entered the battlefield, they encountered a Tokubetsu Jonin squad from Kirigakure. In the end, they relied on a sky-covering barrage of Explosive Tags to blast the Kirigakure ninja into severe injury and retreat.

"That time, it was considered his good luck."

White Zetsu A shook his head as he recalled, "Uchiha Aoya's second squad ended up encountering an elite Jonin from the Kaguya Clan!"

That squad had excellent teamwork. They fought on the Kirigakure battlefield for over a year without any casualties.

But that was the extent of their luck.

Three Chunin against one elite Jonin... they were beaten to an absolute pulp!

"Oh, oh, I remember that time the Kaguya Jonin's bone spurs pierced Uchiha Aoya's stomach, and his intestines were about to spill out!"

White Zetsu B still found the scene incredible as he remembered it.

Even after all that, the kid still managed to survive.

"It's because the Kaguya Jonin didn't finish him off, which left Uchiha Aoya with a sliver of life. Then he played dead, seized the opportunity to ambush, and unleashed at least several hundred Explosive Tags at once!"

He could still vividly recall that scene.

The sea of Explosive Tags completely engulfed the Kaguya Jonin!

Even with the defensive capabilities of the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku, in the end, he was blasted until blood poured from his seven orifices and his internal organs were shattered. He couldn't have died any deader!

"And that kid actually held on until Leaf's reinforcements arrived, and was saved by a medical ninja... he's truly lucky."

"Let's follow them and see what happens this time."

"By the way, are there any other Uchiha Aoya-level exciting guys on our side? Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Tekka... uh, who else was there?"

"There's also Uchiha Shisui, who graduated and went to the battlefield this year. Lord Madara has also sent two of us to secretly follow and monitor him."

"Hey, do you think we could ask Lord Madara to let us switch shifts with the others? It's quite interesting here, but it gets boring always following just one person."

"Shut up, idiot. Lord Madara would probably just destroy you and replace you with the next one!"

"Sigh, what a pity."
