Chapter 68: War Strategies

In Yeruashi's opinion.

With his current level of strength, after opening the fifth gate of the Hachimon Tonko, he should possess the maximum Kage level strength.

And after opening the sixth gate, combined with improving the ability to accelerate the flow of time, he should go beyond the Kage level!

In the past, Yeruashi had read several Naruto novels, and most of the time the power beyond Kage level was divided into two levels, Super-Kage and Six-Path, with this division there should be no problem.

The strength revealed by Pain's six paths, whether in terms of destructive power or other aspects, was above the Kage level, as Iñaki of Iwagakure and even the Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure, these top Kage level existences, would basically be defeated when encountering Pain's six paths.

Not to mention encountering Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama.

Five Kage is not enough to defeat them.

Clearly that level of strength was no longer something that could be defined as Kage level, it was a strength that was above Kage level and there was nothing wrong with defining it as Super-Kage level.

According to the current effect of opening Hachimon Tonko, after opening the sixth gate, combined with time acceleration and time reversal, he should be able to possess it strength to easily crush any Kage level representative.

Of course.

There is a certain difference in strength between the super-Kage level representatives. Uchiha Madara, who has the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and subdued the strongest of the Bijuu, still could not defeat Hashirama.

So after opening the seventh and eighth gate of the Hachimon, Tonko, Yeruashi did not know how strong he would become. Relying on his feelings, he would most likely not be able to defeat Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama relying on the power of the sixth Hachimon Tonko gate and time acceleration, But if he obtains the Sage body and manages to perfectly train the Sage mode, everything would be different.

Also.

It is even more difficult to say how much power the opening of the seventh gate will give, and it is not known whether he will be able to open it at all.

After all, practicing Hachimon Tonko requires a lot of talent in the physical aspect, not everyone has the potential to open the eighth gate, otherwise all the other Jutsu would be meaningless.

"The sixth gate should be enough."

Yeruashi exhaled lightly.

In fact, for a traveler, as long as he can have the strength of Super-Kage level before Naruto's plot starts, he can survive the next war and survive Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's resurrection.

Destroying Uchiha Madara's plan won't be a problem, and he wouldn't have to worry about Edo Tensei.... Because it has not yet been perfected to that outrageous degree. He just needs to collect the Rinnegan, collect all the Bijuu and become the Jinchuriki of the jubi.

So Hachimon Tonko practice is still the most important thing.

"Ah, again I'm looking forward to heavy and monotonous training."

Yeruashi sighed helplessly, in fact, the Hachimon Tonko training so far was already bothering him a lot. Although the time acceleration ability increases the speed of practice, but not for him, from Yeruashi's point of view, all this time training using time acceleration is completely real.

Besides, his talent in Hachimon Tonko is not too high. Rock Lee can open the fifth gate at the age of thirteen, and it took Yeruashi one year of Hachimon Tonko practice just to be able to open even the fourth gate, opening the fifth gate will require at least another year.

That's why he wants to quickly increase his chakra volume.

After all.

If you acquire the Sage body and then become the Jinchuriki of the Jubi, while learning to use the Jubi Chakra Mode, the combination of these two skills will obviously surpass the power gained from opening the sixth and even seventh gates.

Deciding that his main focus of practice, at least until the opening of the fifth gate, would remain Hachimon Tonko, Yeruashi thought about his time skill and closed his eyes, concentrating on the ephemeral clock.

He can see that the area of the dial where the Roman numeral three should be located is still shrouded in a thick fog.

"I wonder what the third ability will be..."

Yeruashi muttered.

Time acceleration and reversing time gave him great strength, maybe after opening the third time skill, he won't have to rely too much on the ninja skill to overcome everyone in this world.

...

Iwagakure.

Office of the Tsuchikage.

The third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, stood up from his seat and looked at the ninja standing in front of him with a solemn expression, "Failure? How could such a plan fail? Are you telling me that everything failed because of a small child?"

"Lord Tsuchikage..."

The ninja knelt down, cold sweat pouring from his forehead and replied in a trembling voice, "Lord Honku and Dontu did not expect this to happen, we were not prepared for the appearance of such a ninja on Konoha's side."

Ōnoki's eyes were filled with anger.

They thought about this plan for a long time and made a great effort to implement it, intending to take Konoha by surprise and gain an advantage at the beginning of the war, but suddenly their side suffered a great defeat and fell into a disadvantageous position.

But in this situation, it makes no sense to blame the advance troops, because the leaders of the operation, Honku and Dontu, fell on the battlefield, and almost all the survivors were wounded.

"Is there any information about this young ninja?"

"There is..."

The ninja breathed a sigh of relief and told Ōnoki everything he managed to learn about Yeruashi.

Ōnoki's deep eyes glittered coldly, "Hatake Yeruashi.... He turned out to be the son of the White Fang of Konoha, dammit!"

During the Second Ninja World War, Iwagakure suffered greatly at the hands of the White Fang of Konoha, even their ultimate failure in that war is closely related to him.

A few years ago, Ōnoki was very happy when he received the news of the death of the White Fang of Konoha. The loss of such a strong ninja from Konoha weakened and contributed to the start of the Third Ninja World War, but when it all started, out of nowhere, the son of the White Fang of Konoha emerged!

Because of this Hatake Yeruashi, they suffered significant losses!

Are they destined to suffer at the hands of the Hatake family?

A ninja sitting on the sofa, stood up and turned to Ōnoki and solemnly said to him, "The advanced troops suffered heavy losses.... Ōnoki, what are you going to do now?"

This was Shoudu, a ninja who was second only to Ōnoki in status in Iwagakure, can be considered Ōnoki's chief assistant and advisor, and it was he and Ōnoki who discussed and came up with the plan for this ambush.

Ōnoki began to float and showed a contemplative look in the air, after a while, he landed on a chair and said in a solemn voice: "The advanced troops have suffered heavy losses, the situation will not be favorable to us if we continue to fight against Konoha, and there is a possibility that Kirigakure will take advantage of us..."

Shoudu said thoughtfully, "But due to the death of the Third Kazekage, Sunagakure has started a full-scale war with Konoha, this is a very good opportunity to invade the Fire Country..."

"No hurry!"

A flash of cold light shone in Ōnoki's eyes as he said, "Even if we don't make a move right now, Konoha will still be wary of us and won't use their full strength in the fight against Sunagakure. Then, regardless of whether we act or not, it will put pressure on Konoha."

Ōnoki continued, "If Sunagakure wins, we can invade the Fire Country together, and if their invasion fails, there is no point in fighting Konoha under unfavorable conditions"
