The Konoha White Demon's Standard Tactics

"Yayoi, Keita, I'll say it again, stand next to me and don't move, don't make any movements, understand?" He emphasized once more.

"Yes, Captain." The two nodded.

Seeing the imposing aura of the group opposite them, the two geniuses were well aware that they were a burden.

However, Uchiha Shingen's Wind Release had completely won them over, and they now trusted him completely.

Even if Uchiha Shingen told them to lie down and sleep, they would do as he said.

The Rock Ninja quickly stopped not far from the three of them.

"Konoha Ninja, state your names!" Kari shouted.

They were walking along peacefully when suddenly a Wind Release pushed them towards them.

Fortunately, these people were all veterans, and there were no casualties.

Even Deidara and Kurotsuchi were unharmed thanks to everyone's protection.

While a ninja capable of using this Wind Release must be very strong, the Demolition Corps isn't known for nothing; they can't just retreat without even seeing the enemy.

"That fat bastard Ōnoki, I asked you to look after the kids, Gari." Uchiha Shingen looked at the two children behind Gari.

Judging by his appearance, he wouldn't believe it wasn't Deidara. The little girl next to him didn't have any distinctive features, so he couldn't guess who it was.

"It wouldn't be right for a genius that Iwagakure has only recently produced to die here, would it?"

"It seems you recognize me." Kari shifted slightly, shielding Deidara and Kurotsuchi behind him. "We have plenty of geniuses, they're just rookies."

"Indeed, you're a veteran Jonin Iwagakure." Uchiha Shingen confirmed the other's identity. "The Tsuchikage's apprentice, being your recruit, only you have that kind of influence."

Hunting maintained his facial expressions well, but his mental fluctuations betrayed him.

So, it really is Deidara?

"Are you some nobody who's too shy to give your name?"

Hunt guessed at the other party's identity. From the other party's words, he could only tell that the other party knew them very well and had no respect for the Tsuchikage.

Each of the five major villages possesses intelligence on the other's strongest individuals; once their identities are known, the intelligence can be obtained.

Intelligence is a crucial element of a ninja's overall strength.

Unless there's a significant difference in overall strength, the outcome can be decided quickly.

Understanding Kari's intentions, Uchiha Shingen would naturally grant his request... what a load of rubbish.

If the two children weren't around, he might have satisfied them.

After all, they are all veterans from the Demolition Corps, so it's always better to be cautious.

"Excuse me, I'm just a nobody." Uchiha Shingen turned his gaze away from Deidara. "Can you leave now? I don't want to waste my Chakra unnecessarily."

"There's nothing I can do..." Hunting shook his head.

Suddenly, Deidara's clear voice rang out from behind him.

"Ha!"

Amidst the explosion, the instantly rising orange-red Kakkō engulfed Uchiha Shingen and the other two.

The Rock Ninja of the Demolition Corps smiled.

They disliked Deidara nominally replacing Kari, but they didn't reject his joining the group because...

This kid is really strong.

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Standard Strategy of the White Ghost of Leaf Village

Hunting kept his eyes fixed on the Kakkō ahead.

As a seasoned bomber, he wouldn't let his guard down until he saw the enemy's body actually blown to bits.

He clenched his fists, ready to deliver a follow-up "Landmine Fist" at any moment.

The next moment, his expression changed, and he retreated sharply, reminding his companion as he did so.

"Careful!"

As he spoke, a large hand radiating cold energy burst forth from the sea of fire, slapping the spot where he had just stood. The earth trembled, and cracks appeared.

With a hissing sound, the flames were suppressed, and the enemy's true form was revealed.

An ice giant rose from the flames, and the flames were visibly declining due to the impact of the water vapor.

As it landed on the ground, greeted by the cool, moist air, and looking at the enormous creature that had already taken shape before it, it felt its mouth go dry.

"Leaf Village's White Ghost..."

Under the Kakkō, the massive body constructed of ice crystals was enveloped in a layer of mist, resembling clouds, due to the intense temperature difference.

But soon, it was enveloped in Chakra armor.

The intense cold continued to intensify, and a layer of frost began to form on the ground.

The ice giant took a step, stepping out of the sea of fire and stirring up a strong wind that extinguished the remaining flames.

Then everyone saw clearly the white giant, who looked like a ghost or god.

Just like the origin of the name "White Ghost of Leaf Village" in the intelligence report—a man who rides a white giant and commits acts of slaughter with the appearance of a demon god.

It's just that its shape is a bit strange, with sharp, angular features.

"Kari, have you ever seen Gundam?" Uchiha Shingen's voice came from the head of the ice giant, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Hunting. "???"

Very good, the intelligence matches up again. The White Ghost of Leaf Village has a screw loose; he often tells jokes that only he finds funny and that aren't really jokes at all.

"Retreat!" he shouted.

Demolition Corps are used for assaults or special operations, not for missions outside their designated scope.

To defeat such an opponent, you either need a large army, or you need the Kitsuchi or even the Third Tsuchikage to personally take action.

"It's too late to leave now." From within the head of the giant device, Uchiha Shingen ignored the admiring gazes of the two men beside him and launched his attack.

Yes, what he's building now is the famous Original Gundam.

The Black Zetsu training course is amazing; he can now pilot a Gundam and use his Majestic Attire without even needing to activate Sage Mode.

But the next step will require...

With celestial markings on his face, the Ice Giant in its Original Gundam form drew a "beam sword" made of Chakra from behind.

Uchiha Shingen was a very strict person. He took his childhood classics very seriously and insisted on a high degree of fidelity in their recreation.

Then the ice giant swung its sword down.

Boom--!

With a deafening roar, the "beam sword" created using Chakra cleaved a deep trench in the ground, which stretched far into the distance.

Under this immense force, earth and rocks rained down, and the land where the Chakra sword fell was smashed open.

The Rock Ninja, caught in the immense force, were tossed into the air like pieces of paper, bleeding from all seven orifices, and died instantly while still in mid-air.

With just one strike, Uchiha Shingen's demolition squad of several dozen men was wiped out by nearly a third.

The remaining Rock Ninja felt they had too few legs and weren't long enough, so they scattered and fled like madmen.

At this point, no one cared about Deidara and Kurotsuchi.

Deidara then displayed his manly spirit, hoisting the dull Kurotsuchi onto his shoulder and sprinting away.

On the head of the ice giant, watching the Rock Ninja scatter and flee, Uchiha Shingen was very dissatisfied.

"The power... is still lacking..." he sighed.

Look at Madara, one casual slash and he could easily make a mountain into a sacrifice.

He's far from good enough.

When Susanoo to open...?

"Captain, you're so handsome!" Hyuga Yayoi's eyes were practically sparkling with hearts.

That's too violent! She loves it!

Inuzuka Keita was so envious he was practically drooling.

Captain's Ninjutsu is incredibly powerful! That's what a real man does!

I don't know if he can learn it; well, I doubt it.

It's a pity!

Suddenly, a person leaped high into the air and descended from mid-air towards the Ice Giant Head tribe where the three were located.

It's hunting.

He punched the ice giant in the head.

Amidst the explosion, Kakkō shot skyward.

After the Kakkō and smoke dissipated, the ice giant's head was completely unharmed.

Hunt's Explosion Release was completely unable to break through the defense of the Senjutsu: Complete Form: Majestic Attire.

Under Uchiha Shingen's control, the ice giant moved slightly and flicked its hand, sending Kari flying.

"Yayoi, Keita, hold on tight," said Uchiha Shingen.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately used their Chakra to absorb the ice layer at the base of the pillar.

The ice giant once again took a giant stride, its target the genius child from Iwagakure who was running freely in the sunlight.

Deidara was running with great enthusiasm when he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking more violently.

Although he knew he shouldn't be doing this at this time, he still glanced back.

"Oh my god..."

He stared in disbelief.

The ice giant had already stepped behind him in one swift motion.

After all, she has long legs.

"Deidara, surrender! Leaf Village treats prisoners well!"

The enemy's voices came through.

If he were alone, Deidara might have surrendered.

The problem is, he's not alone now.

That idiot Kurotsuchi, if he gets caught, it will definitely leave an indelible stain on his life.

There's nothing else to it, mainly that Deidara believed in Kurotsuchi's talent, but not in her intelligence.

Getting caught would definitely ruin things.

"Can you let my companion leave?"

On a whim, he asked, wondering if the person on the other end could hear him.

Uchiha Shingen didn't hear it, but he could read lips.

"If it's about rescuing a damsel in distress, she's too young. Although I admire such behavior, it won't do! She's a very important person, isn't she? Let me think... She's the Tsuchikage's granddaughter, isn't she?"

"Hey! Deidara, I've been recognized!"

"Just shut up already..." Deidara was extremely annoyed.

His assessment of the Kurotsuchi was indeed accurate.

That's so stupid!

Suddenly, I felt that the future of Iwagakure was bleak.

Deidara looked around and realized he couldn't escape.

Brother Shou has disappeared without a trace.

"Deidara!"
