"Lin Ze brother, come and eat!"
When Yumi and Ayumi saw Lin Ze, they immediately waved happily and were full of energy.
Lin Ze smiled and temporarily suppressed those heavy thoughts.
Miyamoto Ichirō was busy serving food to everyone, complaining:
"The price of fish has increased again today. Those profiteers must have heard about the fighting at the border..."
Rei Uesugi helped set the dishes and chopsticks, and then said:
"I heard that the conflict over Land of Rain has escalated. Next time we go to submit a task, we should pay more attention to the task bulletin board to see if there are any C-Rank tasks with higher rewards."
"C-Rank's mission is still risky. You have just graduated, so it's better to play it safe."
Lin Ze walked over and sat down, and gave a habitual reminder.
"I know, Lin Ze, why are you as verbose as the old man?"
Rei Uesugi stuck out his tongue. Although he said this, he still heard it in his eyes.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Asuma That kid didn't cause any trouble for you, did he?"
"It's okay. He just has a bit of a temper sometimes, but he's pretty strong. Last time we met some homeless Ninja who wanted to steal our mission items, but he sent them away after a few blows."
Rei Uesugi said, with a tone of approval for Asuma's strength.
Lin Ze didn't say much about this. It was a good thing that Rei Uesugi could team up with Asuma - Asuma, as the son of Third Hokage, would obviously not be sent to perform too dangerous tasks. Rei Uesugi could naturally avoid many risks by following him.
On the contrary, the two little girls Yumi and Ayumi need Lin Ze to pay more attention.
Everyone started to eat while chatting about the trivial things that happened during the day, such as interesting stories about the Ninja Academy, episodes in the mission, Eight Trigrams about neighbors, etc.
Listening to the chatter in his ears and looking at the young and energetic faces under the candlelight, Lin Ze suddenly felt a little dazed.
This is his bond in this strange and dangerous world, and it is the harbor where he can return after performing those bloody missions in ANBU.
'Unfortunately, this peace will not last long.'
Lin Ze knew that from the moment Third Kazekage died, Third Shinobi World War could be said to have exploded.
But at least at this moment, at this small dining table, he could temporarily put aside all his thoughts and calculations and just enjoy this moment of peace as a "family member".
And now, he has initially gained the power to protect the four people in front of him.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed since the Land of Wind mission.
Over the past six months, Shinobi World's situation has been slipping towards the established trajectory, even more violently, as Lin Ze knew it.
The disappearance of Third Kazekage completely lit the fuse.
At first, Sunagakure tried his best to conceal the news and searched frantically in secret, but there is no airtight wall in the world.
The news eventually leaked out.
Land of Lightning Kumogakure took the lead in attacking. Using border friction as an excuse, they marched across the border to put pressure on Land of Wind, trying to test Sunagakure's true identity.
However, to the surprise of many, Sunagakure did not fall into chaos.
After the top management quickly reached a consensus, Rasa, known as "Gold Miner", quickly stabilized the internal situation with its powerful Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai and tough tactics shown at critical moments, and successfully took over, becoming Fourth Kazekage.
After Rasa came to power, he did not choose to retreat in the face of Kumogakure's aggressiveness. Instead, he responded with the same tough attitude and even took the initiative to have several large-scale conflicts with Kumogakure at the border.
Thanks to the favorable location and the tenacity of the Sand Ninja, Kumogakure's offensive was temporarily blocked.
'Although this guy Rasa died easily in the later stage, he was more courageous than expected. Also, if you don't have any skills, how could you stabilize Sunagakure in that situation and still become Kazekage.'
When Lin Ze learned this information, he commented secretly in his heart.
Kumogakure didn't get much benefit from Land of Wind, so naturally he wouldn't give up.
Their greedy eyes soon turned to Land of Fire, who was richer, and Land of Earth Iwagakure, who had a long history of grudges.
Driven by interests, the war machine is fully activated.
Kumogakure declared war on Land of Earth and Land of Fire almost simultaneously, and launched fierce attacks on multiple fronts.
And the old Fox of Ōnoki is obviously not willing to sit back and watch Kumogakure dominate, and also wants to take advantage of the situation and tear off a piece of flesh from Land of Fire.
Almost at the same time that Kumogakure launched the attack, Iwagakure's army also passed by Land of Grass and went straight to Land of Fire Border.
Third Shinobi World War, finally broke out in full force!
Konoha, instantly fell into a difficult situation of fighting on two or even three fronts.
Northwest line, to deal with the invasion of Iwagakure from the directions of Land of Grass and Land of Waterfalls.
The northeastern line must resist the onslaught of Kumogakure from the directions of Land of Hot Water and Land of Snow.
There is also a southeastern line, which mainly resists the pressure of Kirigakure. Although Kirigakure has not yet fully intervened, small frictions continue, and some Ninja guards need to be dispatched.
The flames of war spread across the border almost instantly, and a large number of casualty reports were sent back to Konoha every day.
Konoha This war machine also operates at an unprecedented speed.
A large number of Genin and Chunin were formed and sent to various battlefields. There were even some Ninja Academy students who had not graduated, but they all graduated early and were added to the Ninja unit.
Fortunately, the two little girls at Orphanage have just entered the second grade and have not yet sent their current class to the battlefield.
The depressing atmosphere of wartime began to envelope the entire Konoha.
And amid this turmoil, the name Minato Namikaze rose like a comet, shining across the entire battlefield.
Flying Thunder God Technique exerted astonishing power in his hands, appearing and disappearing, killing people invisible. Countless Iwagakure and Kumogakure Ninja fell to the specially made Kunai before they even had time to react.
Flying Thunder God gives Minato Namikaze the initiative on the battlefield, and it is entirely up to him to decide whether to fight or peace.
Those who can beat him can't catch up, those who can't beat him can't escape, he has the final say on where and when to attack - this is the biggest helplessness in the hearts of all enemies who encounter Minato Namikaze.
The reputation of "Yellow Flash" quickly spread throughout the world and became a fearsome existence for enemies.
Even later, high-level officials from various countries issued the order "If you encounter 'Yellow Flash', you can abandon the mission and run away directly."
And as Minato Namikaze became stronger day by day, slowly, no one could beat him one on one, and the name "Yellow Flash" naturally became powerful to the entire Shinobi World.
This is exactly why he was able to catch up with Sannin and Megatron Shinobi World in a short period of time.
'Eternal Hokage is indeed Eternal Hokage, Flying Thunder God is such a scary skill in his hands.'
Lin Ze occasionally saw Minato's performance in the battle reports sent back from the front line, and he couldn't help but sigh.
This is the age of genius.
And he himself was not immune to the matter.
ANBU's mission becomes more arduous and dangerous.
Infiltration, espionage, sabotage, assassination... all kinds of shady missions are endless.
Squad B-5 was quickly re-entered the battlefield after the members basically recovered from their injuries.
