6 Frontlines I

....

(Timeskip. Two months later)

...

Sunagakure has officially joined the Second Shinobi World War. An altercation between Konoha and Suna happened near the borders Wind Country and Rain Country. A Konoha ANBU team began throwing jutsus and kunais at the passing-by Suna team, which led to a fight between them.

The Suna team was lead by 3 Jonin and was on a routine patrol around the said border. Suna has demanded an explanation, but Konoha's reply was it wasn't involved in the said incident. This led the Suna Council to declare war against Konoha, a great move by the Council to have the moral standing.

The declaration of war caused all Suna shinobis to prepare to head to the frontlines. Large quantities of weaponry and seals were taken out of storages, and procurement orders rose. This would hit the dry coffers of Suna much higher, and debt may increase continuously.

'Suna is already dirt poor, and it waged war against Konoha. It is a risky move, but if it wins, the profits outweigh anything.'

"Team 3, prepare to be dispatched in the frontlines. They need more reinforcements as Konoha brought Tsunade Senju out to counter Lady Chiyo's poisons,"

"Understood, sensei!"

"Let's meet here tomorrow at 05:00 sharp. We need to leave fast," ordered Chiharu-sensei.

After the short meeting of my team, I immediately shunshined to my house and went up to my room. I began making more explosive tags, and I plan to give some of them to my teammates.

'If they can survive, the better, I could still use them in the future.'

In the past months as a team, we did a few D-rank missions to improve our teamwork better. We also trained most of the time, and I continued developing more Magnet Style jutsus to raise my survival rate during a confrontation.

I also began learning some Medical ninjutsu or Iryo ninjutsu to be more prepared if ever I got injured and to earn more war-time merit.

'My Iryo ninjutsu is far from rivaling Tsunade's, but it is enough for now. I would train it more if I got the time. I still need to focus on gathering more Uzu Style fuinjutsu to improve the Kyo Style to develop the Chakra Absorption Seal and the Chakra Storage Seal. Those two needs a much higher level of fuinjutsu mastery, and the Kyo Style isn't advanced enough.'

'If I finish the Chakra Absorption Seal and the Chakra Storage Seal, my abilities will soar, and I could, in theory, fight Kage-level enemies or even Jinchurikis. I wouldn't worry about chakra anymore, even if I have a natural capacity already comparable to elite-Jonins.'

After I finished making the seals, I went to sleep early.

...

(Timeskip. Next day)

...

I woke up early and got all my stuff. I even sealed up more iron sand into my small gourd and tied it on my waist. I shunshined to the training ground and met Souta there.

'This guy is pretty smart for his age. His plans and stratagems during the assessment, and these past few days, are very concise and well laid out. He's one of the geniuses of this generation, which could rival Shikamaru's intelligence. He may have already felt something off about me, and he wouldn't confront me if he did.'

'He and Yuuma are geniuses, and it is suspicious why they were in Team 3. They should have been assigned to other teams to balance out the Genin Corps. The Kazekage and the Council may have assigned these two to observe my every move.'

'I need to be more careful. The two could inform the Council if I did things that are not aligned with theirs.'

After I greeted Souta with fake enthusiasm and smile, Yuuma arrived. He brought his handy long-sword, but I know that he has more swords sealed. Chiharu-sensei soon came together with other Jonins who brought their genin teams. In total, our numbers amounted to over a 100; this includes the Chunins and Special Jonins that are coming with us.

We set out after the Jonins instructed us where we are going. We were assigned to reinforce the southern frontline, where Tsunade is supposed to be. When we arrived, there were multiple clouds of smoke rising to the air and explosions heard.

In the distance, I saw Konoha shinobis throwing jutsus to an injured Suna shinobi. I immediately acted and weaved signs to save the guy.

"Magnet Style: Iron Turtle Shield!"

"Magnet Style: Iron Sand Drizzle!"

This alarmed the Konoha shinobis, and they suddenly retreated. Not after throwing kunais in our direction, though.

"Enemy reinforcement!" frantically shouted a Konoha shinobi.

"Iron Sand? The Kazekage is here! Retreat!" shouted another.

"Why did the Kazekage appear here! Isn't he supposed to be in the other direction, so who the hell is it?!"

'These Konoha shinobis are pretty funny. Did they not get the memo that Suna has another Magnet Style shinobi? What am I supposed to be? Smirk.'

"Good job Akio!" praised Chiharu-sensei.

'Praise me more, bitch! I love being praised.'

"Get that injured man to safety! Medic!" shouted a Jonin.

A few Chunins led the injured man to safety while the other teams with us began firing back at the Konoha shinobis. I went to the wounded man and began using Iryo ninjutsu.

"Healing Technique."

Healing chakra suddenly appears on my hand and gathers into a small white orb that I then move around the wounded man's injuries. This earned me another round of praise from my team and other medics.

"I didn't know you can use Iryo ninjutsu Akio," Yuuma said when he saw my technique.

"I recently got the hang of it, so I never showed it to others. Are you okay, sir?" I asked softly to the wounded man.

"You're awesome, Akio!" praised Yuuma.

'More little shit! Praise me more! Muhahahaha!'

...

With the arrival of the reinforcements, the Suna shinobis in the southern frontline pushed forward into the battlefield to regain the lost foothold. Lady Chiyo led the offensive summoning her 10 Chikamatsu Collection puppets. My team and I also participated in the attack, where I began using large-scale Magnet Style jutsus.

"Magnet Style: Iron Sand Wave!"

Konoha shinobis then began using long-range attacks to counter me. They have found out that I was the one using the Magnet Style ninjutsu. Most of them would start retreating if they saw my attacks, but little did they know that I could also use regular sand.

"Magnet Style: Sand Tsunami!"

"What! Sand! How can he do both?!" shouted a random Konoha shinobi.

"Katsu!"

BOOOOOMMM!

BOOOOMM!

BOOOOOOMMM!

They underestimated my jutsus as all of the iron sand, and regular sand I control have hidden Kyo Style explosive tags. This led to more casualties to the Konoha side. Yuuma was also showing his skilled kenjutsu techniques, moving left and right launching chakra-coated sword attacks. While Souta with the Puppet Corps and is currently using two puppets, he uses Satou, his first puppet, and a smaller but faster puppet that looks like a scorpion. They are indeed geniuses as they can even contend with Chunin-level enemies.

'My team is pretty strong for a newly graduated genins.'

Chiharu-sensei is with the other Jonins and leading the charge. The Jonins are reinforcing Lady Chiyo as she bulldozes the entire battlefield using her puppets.

'The bitch sure is skillful. But can she beat my kill record using this!'

"Magnet Style: Sand Hail!"

Numerous sand gathers into large clumps shape into massive boulder-like formations and then drops from the sky. It covers a wide range, making it difficult for the Konoha shinobis to dodge. It is a larger and more powerful version of the Sand Drizzle that I use.

Booommmm!

Screams!

Blood!

'Sigh. I love the sound of that! More merits to me then! Smirk!'

"Magnet Style: Successive Shots Iron Drizzle!"
