Whoosh--!
Under the intense light of the flames, three figures were engrossed in reading a book, their eyes filled with focused concentration.
Even Might Guy, who doesn't usually like reading, became serious at this moment, just like those top students who know how to study.
"Hiss--!
This tactic is really good, and all ninjas can learn it. How did Senior Goenji come up with this? It seems like no one has summarized it before."
Genma looked at the book in his hands, his heart filled with admiration.
This book contains some of the combat experience of the Goenji, as well as some tactical design routines, used to deal with ninjas from different villages, and even ninjas from different systems.
In his experience, this book is far more useful to Konoha than many Ninjutsu, and it is comparable to the Three Basic Techniques.
That importance.
It's not that their teachers didn't teach them, but rather that they taught them in different ways depending on the specific situation.
The books in his hands contained detailed explanations of how ordinary ninjas should act in various situations.
The other two were the same; all three were elites, so naturally they wouldn't be unable to understand.
Especially considering they've been on the battlefield for so long.
Having put these experiences into practice, seeing them now brings a great deal of sudden insight into my mind.
In this kind of atmosphere, the learning state is particularly good.
"Hey, this is my summary, and you guys got the better deal."
Under the shade of a tree, Goenji watched the three people studying in the distance, and he also got into the zone, beginning to study the development of Ninjutsu.
The tree branch kept sliding on the ground.
As for the books in the hands of the three men, they were merely used to win people's hearts and lay the groundwork for the future.
It mainly discussed issues related to combat experience.
This is something that ordinary ninjas wouldn't summarize using books.
Because that's intelligence.
If the enemy finds out, they can analyze the clues and then target you specifically.
Even within Konoha, only the major clans pass down their combat experience, making it quite precious.
The Uchiha Clan has a lot of experience.
He was very generous in this regard.
With his talent and that kind of approach, he could design a lot of things.
"Damn it, it's the people from Iwagakure who kidnapped Rin."
On this very day, as the pressure gradually increased, Rin Nohara, a member of Team Kakashi, was captured by Jonin from Iwagakure.
In order to complete the mission, Kakashi coldly uttered some heartbreaking words.
"People aren't important; completing the mission is what matters."
When he said that, Obito's eyes blazed with fury, and he grabbed Kakashi by the collar. "You don't deserve to be a ninja if you don't complete missions, but your disregard for the lives of your comrades makes you worse than an animal. Even in the Pure Land, Sakumo Somo will not forgive you."
Whoosh--!
Obito then ignored him and used the Body Flicker Technique to rush towards the direction where Rin might be, following the trail of clues.
As I ran, images kept flashing through my mind.
"If I had Goenji's strength, I definitely wouldn't have let Rin capture me. Sharingan..." He wanted to awaken his Sharingan, but remembering what Goenji had said, he gritted his teeth.
Please don't do that; he doesn't need those kinds of eyes.
It must be Goenji who is wrong. With my talent, I can awaken the Sharingan even without the stimulation of my comrades' deaths.
Call out--!
Leaping and bounding through the forest.
Behind him, Kakashi, after a moment of silence, looked in the direction of the mission, then glanced in Obito's direction.
"Those who disrespect the lives of their companions are worse than animals..."
"If I were a little stronger, I could protect my comrades' lives!"
The words "Obito" and "Goenji" flashed through Kakashi's mind.
He thought of his father, gritted his teeth, and said, "Having companions will make the mission easier. Let's rescue Lin first."
Whoosh--!
With that thought in mind, he immediately set off.
A white figure slowly emerged from the ground, looking in the direction of Kakashi and the others.
"Hehehe, Lord Madara's plan is about to begin."
Then it disappeared back onto the ground.
In a valley filled with mountains and rivers.
Phew!
Kakashi, wielding Chidori, plunged it into the enemy's body.
"Kakashi, watch out!"
Just then, Obito Uchiha recovered from the severe blow, spitting out blood. Seeing Kakashi behind him, his eyes darted around rapidly, and the Two-Tomoe Sharingan slowly appeared.
Kakashi heard Obito's voice and his pupils contracted.
We must pull out the Chidori.
"Die, you brat from Konoha!"
A figure slowly emerged from the air and slashed down with a single strike.
Clang--!
Boom--!
At the critical moment, a flame broke through the air and entered the nasal cavity of the Iwagakure ninja.
The Stone Ninja's pupils contracted, and he quickly retreated, avoiding Obito's Fire Release.
He raised an eyebrow.
A strange tremor ran through Goenji's heart. He stopped what he was doing and looked up at the distant sky.
For some reason, he felt something had detached from his thoughts.
"Could something have happened on the battlefield?"
Goenji couldn't help but think in his heart.
His actions in delaying Ōnoki and the earlier-than-expected Battle of Kikyo Pass have created a butterfly effect that is no longer limited to the small-scale situation; the overall picture may have changed as well.
The plot he knows will likely be drastically changed.
Therefore, his concerns were not unfounded.
If the plot undergoes a significant change, his control over intelligence will also change.
"But it doesn't matter. No matter how things change, the fact that Uchiha old remains the same, and the fact that Black Zetsu hasn't unlocked Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's secrets can't be changed either. As long as these two things don't change, it won't have any impact on him."
This is confidence stemming from strength.
Goenji believed that with his current strength, he could easily deal with most people, except for a few who posed a threat to him.
As long as they aren't besieged.
"However, we should spend more time asking about intelligence from the front lines, since ninja intelligence is still the most important thing."
It's better to have more control over things than to try to grasp them.
Having spent so much time on the battlefield, Goenji has this much experience.
Soon, noon had passed.
Goenji invited them to treat him to a meal, and then he returned home.
The next day, he went to Hiruzen Sarutobi Jonin to gather intelligence from the front lines.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't hide it from him; indeed, some significant changes had occurred on the battlefield.
Obito Uchiha torn to pieces.
"Dead?"
Goenji's pupils shrank.
Things have indeed changed.
The Battle of Kikyo Pass just ended not long ago.
According to the original storyline, there should still be about six months to a year before the war at Kannabi Bridge.
Now Obito is dead.
This means that Madara Uchiha made his move.
[That woman still hasn't spoken to me. The new author, a graduate student, is very easy to get along with and comfortable. Also, her writing speed seems faster than mine; I can't lose to her tomorrow. But she seems quite wealthy too; she said her family doesn't lack houses... Damn it, am I the only poor one?!]
