35 Changes and Offensive

We followed father outside the camp. After we stopped, I asked him"So, what is bothering you so much ? Have we made an error ?" He shook his head and said"No you have not. It is that when I made my report, Lord Hokage informed me of something because of our feat." After saying this, he certainly saw the confusion on Minato face as he added" We encountered an enemy team from Iwa, killing successfully a high A rank almost as strong as your master, and Kyokai killed the Bloody brothers alone."

Minato face changed to shock as he heard this. Father carried on" I already found it strange for us to fall on such a strong team, as you do not know it but we are the strongest team on this front as there is only one other team with a S rank ninja, and there are only B rank other than him. So it was strange to fall on a team so strong. I asked the Hokage about it and he told me the truth. That is that all the stronger ninjas defending the villages will come to fight. Even the Kages."

I asked shocked"That means we can fall upon the ennemies kage ?" He nodded and with that we all fell silent. Minato asked"How are the Kages going to fight ? Alone or with teams ?" Father replied"To ensure their security and all, it has been decided that the Hokage would be with a team, but not made of S rank as it would focus our strenght on one point, something bad in such a battlefield."

He finished the discussion by saying" We still have the thanks of the Hokage and a bonus for having killed the Bloody brothers and bringing their corpses back. It has greatly weakened Iwa forces. You will receive it later. Let's meet up tommorow at twelve here. We now fight everyday because of our strenght. The three of you will not follow us everyday as you still are genin. Now disperce."

With that, we each walked off. Minato came with me. I started"I won't be able to spar against you today, the two brothers exhausted me." Minato nodded and I added"You do not mind to have to fight everyday ?" He shook his head and said"No, I need to become stronger to be able to protect my loved ones." I smiled at this. We continued to talk until I saw the time. We decided to come home.

I woke up the next morning at seven in the morning. I kept my earth coating all night, so I now was as good as fresh. As I still had a lot of time in front of me, I went to see Sakumo. I arrived there in ten minutes and saw that they were all awake inside the tent. I greeted the three of them and laughed when Kakashi tried to grab my nose. I stayed with them and departed at ten as I needed to go to my mission.

I went to the training grounds and saw Minato there. We greeted each other and began to spar. I did not use any coating and it was a little hard to defeat him using only taijutsu and kenjutsu. At the end of the spar, I advised him to focus on his speed in the futur and we continued training. We then went to the meeting point.

We were surprised to see Sarutobi with father, my brother and the three genin. I nodded to Sarutobi and he began smiling"As you may know, I will start to fight from now on. But today, I am not here for this. Today, I am here because there is an offensive to be made on the third stronghold of the second battlefield. They will deploy a S rank ninja there, so it has been decided that we woud send one too. You have been chosen."

I nodded to him and asked"My team ?" He replied"They will come too if they wish it." With that, we began to talk and decided that Dan and his three genin would not come, and that only father, Minato and I will come. We then made our way toward our third stronghold from the second battlefield. The hokage departed after he informed the army already made that I would be the commander.

The entire army cheered hearing this. That made a deafining sound as the army was composed of two corps. I was under a huge pressure as I would be the one leading one of the most important, if not the most, mission of this war. We departed and I decided to lead the troops by going at the first line instead of the back of the army like a commander should made.

I went to the front to show the army I was not only here to command them, but to fight with them. Father and Minato went to see Kushina. We arrived to where the fight should have been if not for the offensive. There were no ennemies there as they certainly knew about the attack. We walked until we were in front of the ennemy stronghold. It was not something that would just be destroyed by throwing jutsu at it.

Seeing how impressive it was, I turned toward one of the Lieutenant general and told him" I decided the tactic. We will make a pierce attack. I will first destroy one of the walls, and then we should quickly make our way inside." I saw that he was shocked by what I said, and as he was about to argue, I threw a death glare at him.

He swallowed back down what he wanted to say and told his surbodinates about the plan, and then the entire army was aware of the plan. When I had confirmation that they all knew the plan, I smiled and closed my eyes. I wispered to myself"Time to go all out." I rushed toward the ennemy stronghold alone, opened my eyes and with it, a red giant upper half of a body appeared. It had flesh, some clothings and one big arm, in which was a giant sword.
