The two continued to talk about Kusagakure's situation in the past few years, and they didn't go home until dinner time.
The next morning, Kusagakure's training ground.
This is an open space that has been trampled for many years, with no grass growing. The ground is dark brown hard mud. Standing on it, you can feel the solidity of the earth.
If you fall down, I'm afraid its power will not be weaker than that of a modern asphalt road.
Standing around the training ground were a dozen jounin, wearing Kusagakure dark green uniforms, with deep solemn expressions on their faces.
At this point in time, Yu hurriedly summoned them all here, and if nothing else happened, he was going to announce the follow-up strategy and combat plan.
It's about the survival of Kusagakure, so of course they will feel extremely depressed inside.
Of course, when he informed them, he didn't give any details, he just said that there was something important.
Important things...
Yamahara Kaede stood at the front of the crowd, folding his arms, looking at the center of the training ground with squinted eyes, still muttering softly.
"The day has finally come. This kind of silence with a depressing feeling is really uncomfortable. I just hope it will end soon."
When Lu You walked out from the other side of the training ground, all the jounin's eyes turned around, and everyone recognized him.
"This is Lu You-sama is back!"
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other in a few years. They are already so old. I don't know if I have a girlfriend."
"? What are you talking about? Did you trigger the underlying code, you bastard?"
Of course, some people looked at this ten-year-old child with doubts on their faces, wondering why he appeared here. At this time, the horsefly came from the other direction.
He was still wearing the dark green robe of Kusagakure, and hanging on his waist was the long knife that had been with him for many years.
Afterwards, the two stood in front of the Jonin team.
He stared at them with a serious face.
"Everyone, I called you here today to discuss the follow-up plan to deal with Amegakure."
His voice was calm and without any panic, which was enough to make people feel at ease.
This is the role of leaders. Their existence itself is a meaning that is enough for followers to fight for it.
Just like Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, although Lu You once thought from God's perspective that he was indecisive, neither black nor white, and a cunning and sophisticated old man.
But in reality, even if the three generations raise their arms, there will still be countless Konoha people who will fight for them.
After all, he is Hokage.
Hokage symbolizes absolute authority.
Just like the horsefly now, the same is true.
"Master Grass Shadow, we listen to you!"
"That's right, let's break up with him! We can't stay together forever!"
There was a sparkle in his eyes, and he stepped aside, letting Lu You stand at the front, and then continued, "After consideration, my suggestion is to send troops to the border to defend the enemy outside the country!
However, in view of the scarcity of our troops and the fundamental gap between us and Rain Ninja, this raid must be fast! We must use lightning speed to evade the detection of the enemy's reconnaissance team, and then pierce the opponent's heart!"
Everyone listened quietly, some frowned, some were relieved, and some were excited.
"It's very risky, but I like it, Hanzo of the Salamander, who cares about his grandma, let's see if we don't change you from a giant salamander to a grass carp!"
Leader, I am willing to take the lead in the charge!"
He nodded his head, taking his time.
"We only have one chance to accomplish this in one battle, so I will send 300 warriors to complete this mission. As you all know, our Kusagakure, the ninja force that has completed the reorganization, only has 400 people."
The jounin looked at each other.
"Chief, I am willing to fight with you, no matter where you go!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"+1!"
The jounin who were so excited about Amegakure's step-by-step approach had long wanted to die with each other.
He raised his hand and everyone around him became quiet.
"Everyone, this mission is extremely dangerous. Even I don't have the confidence to complete it. Therefore, I will not become the commander of this army."
Everyone's faces suddenly became confused.
Who else can lead us besides the horsefly?
"Yu, I'm leaving it to you this time."
He turned around and looked at Lu You, said solemnly, and then bowed deeply.
"Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Everyone was dumbfounded. What the hell? Now that the war is going on, your nepotism plot is too crude. Should you say that you are worthy of being the leader of Kusagakure?
However, some people still couldn't help but say, "Chief, are you serious? How old is he..."
"Of course I'm serious."
Yu interrupted him.
"And you will see the reason soon. Everyone, please disperse."
These ninjas immediately distanced themselves from the two of them.
He turned around and walked to the other end of the training ground, where he stood opposite Lu You, about thirty meters away.
Neither of them spoke, they just stood there quietly, like two sharp knives that had been unsheathed.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and suddenly, the horsefly took the lead in taking action.
His hands Hand Seals quickly, almost instantly, the Chakra in his body surged out:
"Fire Release·Great Fire Annihilation!"
Red flames spurted out from his mouth, turning into a terrifying wall of fire about fifteen meters wide, overwhelming the sky and crushing towards Lu You.
Wherever the wall of fire passed, the rough and hard ground was cracked and shattered, the air was distorted, and the heat wave even forced the Jonin in the distance to take several steps back.
What are you doing?!
Yamahara Kaede's eyes widened and he wanted to save Lu You, but Lu You was much faster than him.
He stood where he was, even with Hand Seals as his backhand, but he still completed this ninjutsu at the same time.
"Fire Release·Great Fire Annihilation!"
Golden flames poured out from his mouth and turned into a wave-like wall of fire more than ten meters high. It collided head-on with the flames of the horsefly. Gold and red collided violently in the air!
The high temperature makes people sweat.
But the jonins of Kusagakure didn't care at all.
Because there are more terrifying things, right?
Who can tell me, this is ten years old?!
His mouth has grown so big that he is so surprised that his jaw is about to dislocate. Their former master Lu You is now so strong?
This is too evil!
Is it a feng shui problem at Konoha?
No, if that were the case, Konoha would have dominated Shinobi World long ago. There would be no need for so many casualties in two Shinobi World wars.
It's too late, it's too late.
The two surging flames were like giant beasts wrestling in the air, biting and devouring each other.
The golden flame was obviously hotter and stronger, and soon gained the upper hand.
It pushed the crimson flame back inch by inch, just like the sea water being pushed back to the shore at low tide.
He gritted his teeth, increased the output of Chakra, the bright and dazzling flames rose again, and charged again.
But Lu You was still calm and did not expend much extra energy. The golden flame turned into a dragon and covered the horsefly completely.
At this moment, Lu You gently withdrew the output of Chakra, and the golden flames dispersed on their own initiative.
The air was filled with the smell of burning.
He also withdrew his ninjutsu and stood there, his chest rising and falling slightly, his breathing a little faster than before, and hot sweat dripping from his forehead.
