Chapter 19 Battle (Part 1)

FREE TRIAL IN PATREON 🚀🥷

The geographical location of the Kingdom of Thunder is in the north of the mainland, essentially in the corner of the country.

In fact, except for the Fire Country, which has the richest land among the five major countries, the other four countries are all unfortunate.

Needless to say, the Kingdom of Thunder has such steep terrain that all their residences are located halfway up the mountains. Every day, they fear that they might roll down the mountain (exaggeration aside). Who likes to sleep on the mountainside?

This harsh environment has led everyone in the Land of Thunder to practice martial arts—it would be hard to survive without putting in extra effort. After all, one can use the excuse of it being suitable for training to deliberately ignore the harsh living conditions.

But honestly, doesn't the Kingdom of Thunder want to eat well and sleep comfortably like Konoha?

Of course they do.

It's a pity that Senju Hashirama is around, so they don't dare to take action.

Later, after many inquiries, they received a piece of news: the damn ninja god Senju Hashirama of Konoha Village seems to be, probably, maybe dead...

They had no definite information and could only continue to investigate.

Then many clues were discovered.

For example, business at Konoha Casino has not been very good recently because a certain big fat sheep hadn't shown up.

Of course, Senju Hashirama's transformation technique would not be discovered, but the casino's poor business cannot be faked.

Not to mention that several of the establishments were run by spies from other countries.

"This doesn't work. Maybe it's just a normal fluctuation?" they thought.

Then they noticed that Senju Hashirama's child had moved out.

Well, Yuya, who is already eleven years old, is no longer a child.

This cannot be used as a judgment, so they continued to observe.

Then they discovered that Senju Tobirama didn't visit Senju Hashirama's mansion as often. (After all, there is only one sister-in-law at home, so it would be impossible for him to visit directly like before to avoid suspicion.)

Although Uzumaki Mito remembered Senju Hashirama's advice to stay home, dressed in mourning clothes and not daring to be seen by others, the various clues were enough for the people of the Kingdom of Thunder to confirm one thing.

Even if Senju Hashirama is not dead, something is definitely wrong.

If that's the case, then why not give it a try?

After all, they had enough of that damn place in the Kingdom of Thunder. If they didn't want to conquer it, they could just take it.

Therefore, during the period that had just ended in the spring of the seventeenth year of Konoha, the Kingdom of Thunder launched an attack on Konoha Village.

…

One month later:

"Hey, are there really enemies coming here?" Hinata Kazuko, who is about the same age as Yuya, glanced at Yuya and said dissatisfiedly.

Yuya looked at the map in front of him and shook his head. "This is the rear area. Although the Kingdom of Thunder has declared war, we can't just focus on defense."

The place they were in was situated between a cliff in the northern part of the Country of Fire. The only way to travel here was via an iron chain wooden bridge.

The mission of their first squad was very simple: If someone retreating from the front line of Konoha and Kumogakure's battlefield was one of their own, they wouldn't have to worry. But if it was someone from Kumogakure, they were to blow up the iron rope.

The detonating talisman had already been posted on the only bridge.

Uchiha Rou glanced at Hinata Kazuko, smiled slightly, and said with disdain, "Don't you have Byakugan? Use your Byakugan to see."

In the competition between Uchiha and the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan felt suppressed due to the existence of Uchiha Madara.

However, Uchiha Madara was squeezed out by the Uchiha clan and made a big deal out of it, leading the Hyuga clan to feel confident again.

It's impossible for you guys to produce another Uchiha Madara.

Of course, adults still smile when they meet each other, but when it comes to children, the education is that no one can lose to the other.

Children of this age are sure to go astray if they are taught this way just as their thoughts are forming.

Of course, if you take your son to the battlefield when he is four years old, then you should take my words as nonsense (Uchiha Fugaku: Stop teasing, stop teasing).

Yuya turned a deaf ear to the argument between the two kids.

At that moment, a big sister wearing a tight ninja net suit, a leather jacket, and a ponytail came over: "How are you, Yuya? After watching for so long, are you still worried about the front line?"

This beautiful older sister was Senju Tobirama's secretary.

Because he valued Yuya and had to go to the battlefield, Senju Tobirama asked his most trusted person to lead Yuya's team.

Moreover, for the sake of safety, Yuya's team was specially assigned to take charge of some very simple tasks.

For example, the task of watching the bridge may seem important, but in reality, it is not that critical. However, if Konoha on the front line was defeated, it would be a great achievement for them to block the enemy's attack here.

Senju Tobirama was really clever.

Only...

Yuya sighed and nodded. "I'm not worried about those guys from Kumogakure; I'm more concerned about the people from the Kingdom of Water."

The secretary sister was startled. "The Kingdom of Water? Aren't they allies with us?"

Yuya was speechless. How could Uncle Tobirama's secretary be so naive?

Can allies be trusted these days?

There are too many instances of betrayals from allies.

At this moment, Yuya heard noise coming from the other side of the bridge.

A group of Konoha ninjas came galloping toward them from the other side.

Yuya saw clearly that these Konoha ninjas moved quickly. The important point was that with every step they took, they left a deep pit in the ground.

Yuya's pupils suddenly shrank. He stood up immediately, holding a kunai in his hand, and pointed it at the five Konoha ninjas who had already run up the iron rope from the other side: "Stop! Stop now! If you don't stop, I will activate the detonating charm!"

The length of the iron cable was only over a hundred meters, and Yuya could tell something was wrong with just a normal glance.

The secretary also frowned and stood in front of Yuya. "Stop! Give the signal! Otherwise, we will take action!"

The five figures showed no intention of stopping. The secretary hesitated immediately, but Yuya directly formed the secret sign with both hands without any pause: "Explode!"

With a "boom," the iron rope was blown into two pieces. The five ninjas who had just run to the middle of the iron rope stopped pretending. A burst of smoke from the transformation technique dissipated, revealing their true identities.

They were a group of individuals wrapped in black and blue robes.

"Water Mizukage?!" The secretary was shocked, but it was too late. The five ninjas jumped up from the bridge and then...

They fell directly.

It was impossible for them to jump over a distance of tens of meters just by leaping.

But their mission was accomplished because they threw the seal scrolls out before falling off the cliff.

Five scrolls unfolded in the air...

The secretary looked nervously at the scrolls unfurling in the sky, and then overwhelming water spurted out from the scrolls and hit the team...

In the air, the water gradually changed shape, turning into cones, and simultaneously transforming into solid ice crystals, before...

They shot toward the secretary, one, three, and four...
