"I like and admire my father the most, and I hope to be like him. I hate... those Uchiha Clan the most!" Namiashi Raidō spoke at the end of the team's self-introduction session, and told the truth.
Kakashi looked over silently.
Well, "worshiping father" is one of Kakashi's highlights - he used to be like this too, but now...
Kakashi can't tell whether he admires his father the most, or hates his father the most, or... maybe both?
Therefore, when he spoke just now, everything was "confidential."
Minato seemed to have seen through something at that time and did not force him.
Aoba Yamashiro looked at Namiashi Raidō in surprise and found that his teammate was braver than he thought!
Not only did he say that he admired his father in front of Kakashi, he also said that he hated Uchiha Clan in front of Minato-sensei...
Is the relationship within your team no longer good?
Such a speech without emotional intelligence...
Have you been bullied by the Uchiha Clan for so long that your brain has become Uchiha Clan?
"That's it..." Minato said with a smile at this time, "I can understand that I admire my father. Senior Namiashi is indeed a ninja worth learning from, but... I don't hate all Uchiha Clan ninjas."
"I... didn't say that Konoha's Akaseki." Namiashi Raidō seemed to have remembered at this moment that Minato-sensei's companion and teammate was also Uchiha Clan.
Aoba Yamashiro:...
Are you still so rude? Sure enough, you were infected by the Uchiha Clan...
"It doesn't matter. Teacher hopes that you will use your own eyes to confirm whether each Uchiha Clan is trustworthy." Minato patted his shoulder.
"Do you know what is the most important thing after becoming a ninja?" Minato turned to the three of them and asked.
"Mission." Kakashi blurted out naturally.
"Is that so..." Minato did not deny it on the spot, but it was clear that he did not approve of it, and he immediately said seriously, "My teacher also had a teammate before. When he was your teacher's teacher, when he said that "the most important thing for a ninja is the mission," he retorted on the spot, "Ninja Village was established to protect everyone, so the most important thing for a ninja is to protect every companion in the village!"
"Could it be..." Namiashi Raidō looked at Minato in shock.
"Yes, it was Konoha's Akaseki who said it." Minato's warm smile made it difficult for people to realize that he actually omitted many prerequisites.
Kakashi was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to have never expected that a Uchiha Clan would say this...
At the same time, Akaseki, who was regarded as a positive example in Minato's mouth, was having a secret conversation with Ranwu and Tsunade in the Pine Deer Pavilion's box.
"I just said Teacher Jiraiya will definitely come, right? Minato just told him that Sister Tsunade needs his help, so he applied for the mission to Land of Earth..." Akaseki said with confidence.
Not long ago, Minato secretly passed the matter of "Wood Release Experiments" to Jiraiya through Summoning Technique of Mount Myoboku.
It didn't take long for Jiraiya to ask Hokage Building for a fight - he had taught Yahiko, Nagato and Konan for almost three years.
Although Land of Rain is still experiencing frequent turmoil, the three children who can already be called "ninjas" can survive independently.
So Jiraiya applied to go to the front line...
At the same time, Akaseki also received the mission - to meet Jiraiya at the western border of Land of Rice Fields, and then go to Land of Earth together!
Previously on Jonin Meeting, Konoha's attitude towards Iwagakure has already set the tone.
Under Orochimaru's explanation, Hokage Building also tentatively came to understand that "Iwagakure has no sincerity from Peace Negotiations at all".
What Konoha has to do now is to "take advantage of the situation" and keep looking like he's been hooked by Iwagakure, while preparing to give him a hard blow!
Even if it is not enough to cause Iwagakure a heavy loss, it must hurt enough to make him willing to come to Peace Negotiations more sincerely.
According to Orochimaru, this is not difficult...
After all, the character of "Two Scales" has advantages and disadvantages - the advantage is that he is really good at maintaining a balance, which always puts Iwagakure in a diplomatic advantage and makes Ninja Village want to form an alliance., will be happy to accept him, which allows him to continuously attack without the risk of being attacked, and at the same time maintains the balance of power in Dayin Village; but the disadvantage is that this kind of aggressive character makes him lack resilience when facing real difficulties, and he will also rely on diplomatic means to solve them.
To put it more simply, don't worry that Iwagakure will be as tough to chew as Sunagakure!
As long as Konoha pushes the front slightly, Iwagakure will immediately Peace Negotiations - because now Ōnoki can't bring in other powerful allies to attack Konoha. In this case, he will never do it if he is expected to "carry the damage" by himself.
Therefore, for Iwagakure, the method to be used is opposite to that of Sunagakure.
On the battlefield with Sunagakure, both Sakumo Hatake and Orochimaru chose to proceed step by step and fight steadily. Generally speaking, they used Konoha's hard power to minimize their own losses in the battle with the opponent...
However, if it were Iwagakure, what Orochimaru had to do was to "accomplish it in one battle" and make sure to hit him painfully in one go.
As "Jonin Commander Squad Leader", Orochimaru is already planning to concentrate elite forces on Land of Earth - In the war of ninjas, this "concentration of elites" tactic is often very effective and easy to implement, because only a small number of individuals are needed to "concentrate elites".
Jiraiya is one of them, Akaseki is also one... including Ranwu also received a confidential transfer order.
"Orochimaru this guy..." Tsunade gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction.
Tsunade is not in this plan!
She was placed in the rear.
"Compared to sister Tsunade, Ranwu and I are not that inconspicuous, and Teacher Jiraiya has been "missing" for almost three years before, and no one would notice." Akaseki explained for Orochimaru.
As the eldest sister of Medical Unit, Tsunade is very conspicuous when she moves...
Once Stone Ninja discovers that Tsunade is no longer in the village or in the rear, he is likely to realize that Konoha is concentrating his forces on the front line.
As for Akaseki...
Although he is very good at fighting, in Stone Ninja's opinion, Konoha can fight much better than him!
Moreover, Akaseki has nothing to do in the village, and it is not easy for him to get any information. Unlike Tsunade... if he does not treat the wounded and sick in the village for several days in a row, he will be discovered soon.
"But that Shimura Danzō..." Tsunade gritted her teeth - obviously her desire to fight was not rising, but she simply had the urge to deal with Danzo.
"Forest Street has recently fully assisted Nonō in establishing Orphanage and implementing the functions of Orphanage, plus the inspection and supervision of frontline Uchiha Clan My vision is becoming more and more detailed... I believe Danzo may take risks at any time. Sister Tsunade, it is just right for you to be in charge of Konoha." Akaseki reassured.
"You mean... he might also be looking for children for experiments internally?" Tsunade frowned upon hearing this, a little in disbelief.
"It's hard to say, we Konoha are so strong that we will not be defeated from the outside. The ones we have to be careful about are these inner ghosts!" Akaseki said confidently.
Tsunade also became concerned after hearing this.
"And... I think Orochimaru may be Flying Thunder God Technique who wants to take advantage of Minato." Akaseki further speculated.
Minato's "Flying Thunder God Technique" can bring people.
Although the more people you take, the stronger the chakra will be, and the stronger the restraint will be, and for a period of time, Minato will consume chakra to maintain the spatial position of the person being "taken", just like "Summoning Technique", but It doesn't take much to think about Minato. As long as Orochimaru and Tsunade can be transmitted directly from Konoha to the battlefield, it will be a reversal for the outcome of the war!
""""""""""hand-type""update"
However, Minato is not omnipotent. It is obviously difficult for him to keep bringing more people.
Therefore, Akaseki and others still have to gather by themselves.
On the night of March 15th, Akaseki and Ranwu set out quietly. Taking advantage of the darkness, they directly put on their cloaks and left Konoha with a special confidential warrant.
First...
Akaseki first went with Ranwu, then came to Valley of the End overnight to meet up with Miroku!
Miroku was just a visitor to Konoha, so he left Konoha one day in advance, waiting for the time agreed with Akaseki.
"Miroku, are you going to Land of Earth too?" Ranwu looked at her strangely.
"Well, but... if there is no extreme emergency, I won't take action." Miroku said matter-of-factly.
After all, she is not Konoha's ninja, so there is no need to work in vain, otherwise it will not only be Iwagakure's problem, but Land of Wind's attitude towards Land of Demons will be completely different.
You know, after the Moryo incident, Land of Wind originally ceded a part of Swamp's land that was relatively easy to develop and merged it into Land of Demons!
If Land of Wind is completely convinced that Land of Demons is a vassal of Land of Fire or even Konoha, Land of Wind's attitude will be completely different.
Of course, if there is an urgent situation, then Miroku will not care about it.
The three set off under the cover of night. Although there was only Akaseki and Uchiha Clan, they were still Traveling by Starlight. They arrived at Land of Rice Fields in two days and arrived at the meeting point with Jiraiya in four days.
Although Miroku is still lacking in physical strength, Ranwu's physical strength makes up for this very well...
At first Ranwu even suspected that the reason why Akaseki kept rushing on was because Miroku was exhausted so that he could carry it on his back. As a result... before Ranwu could take the initiative, Akaseki took the initiative to assign this task to "Ranwu team member"!
When we arrived at the western border of Land of Rice Fields, there were only mountains blocking Land of Wind - yes, it was the mountain range controlled by Kannabi Bridge. Theoretically, the mountains between Land of Wind and Land of Rain in the middle of the continent were the same mountain range, but this mountain range spread all the way to the northern part of the continent...
This continuous mountain range is also a natural barrier for Land of Earth, and Land of Earth has indeed worked hard to manage it.
Because of Sealing Technique Formula, ninjas cannot walk in the mountains and carry too many Sealing scrolls, which means they will be restricted Supplies--that's why Kannabi Bridge is so important, which is equivalent to Kannabi Bridge controlling the surrounding Supplies rights!
However, as an elite team, Supplies and Akaseki can pass through these mountains even if they have nothing.
Orochimaru also specifically asked them to enter Land of Earth from a direction that Land of Rice Fields and Iwagakure were relatively unconcerned about, so as to put the greatest pressure on Iwagakure when it breaks out!
