Chapter 122 The War in the Land of Rain
"As expected, to master powerful ninjutsu, one must rely either on bloodline or knowledge. Neither the Second Hokage nor Minato Namikaze possessed the bloodline limit for space-time ninjutsu, yet they mastered the superb Flying Thunder God Technique. Naturally, they had to be academic geniuses."
Open a book, and you'll find not only knowledge of space-time ninjutsu, but also annotations by Minato Namikaze.
Actually, a small portion of the book contains Minato Namikaze's learning experiences.
After studying for two hours, Kyosuke hadn't learned much and started to make plans in his mind.
"At this rate, it would take at least a year to fully grasp this knowledge. According to Minato Namikaze, this is just the basics."
"Only after learning these can you begin to try learning the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even then, you might not be able to learn it; it just reduces the risk. Learning the Flying Thunder God Technique will take an unknown amount of time and effort, and it also depends on your talent and luck."
Learning ninjutsu is different from learning it in my previous life.
In my past life, getting some questions wrong in school only meant losing some points, but in learning ninjutsu, even a small mistake could be life-threatening.
For example, if you make even the slightest mistake when performing the Flying Thunder God Technique, the result might be that part of your body is teleported away while the other part remains in place.
Alternatively, if the teleportation location is incorrect, the body may merge directly into rocks or trees.
Alternatively, when the body is teleported out, the various parts of the body recombine, and the organs become disordered.
In short, there can be no mistakes when learning ninjutsu, otherwise it won't just be a deduction of points, but the loss of life.
The Flying Thunder God Technique is considered a forbidden technique because the risk of learning it is too high.
Of course, the village and Minato Namikaze also tried to reduce the risks of learning, such as improving the techniques, simplifying the learning content, and having multiple people cooperate to perform ninjutsu.
There has been little progress so far.
"Learning the Flying Thunder God Technique is like gambling on luck. It takes a lot of time and energy to gamble on that slim chance of successfully learning it. If I were alone, I would never choose to learn it. I would rather spend that time learning a ninjutsu with a higher chance of success and quicker returns. Fortunately, I am not alone."
In the dream, Kyosuke explained the situation.
"As you all know, I'm going to focus on learning the Flying Thunder God Technique now. Once I master it, our strength will increase significantly. So, you all need to share the burden of daily training."
Mi Shou nodded: "I'm fine with it. I can reduce some of the bounty missions and use the time for cultivation."
Chisuke said somewhat dejectedly, "I'm currently in Sunagakure, and I rarely have the opportunity to go out. My daily routine is basically all about training."
Kiichiro shook his head: "My research cannot stop, and my training time cannot be increased any further."
Nobuya Ooka said he was powerless to help.
"Tomorrow, the Akatsuki will hold a meeting to make a final decision. If they decide to help Hanzo, we will have to participate in the war against Iwagakure. If that happens, I won't be able to train in peace for a long time."
Kyosuke glanced at the four of them speechlessly: "I didn't expect that even with five of us cultivating, time would still be so tight. Are those experts who are proficient in many fields all monsters?!"
The dream ended, and the next day, as the sun rose, Ooka Nobu, Yahiko, and the others met and began a meeting.
Kyusuke spoke first, telling everyone the latest information.
"Currently, the Iwa ninja have occupied half of the Land of Rain. Although Hanzo has severely damaged the Iwa ninja many times, he still cannot stop their advance. The Iwa ninja are about to attack the Amegakure village."
"This time, the Iwa ninja seem determined to occupy the Land of Rain. Supplies and reinforcements are constantly being sent to the front lines. The Rain ninja can no longer hold on and are now relying entirely on Hanzo to keep them afloat. Once Hanzo is defeated, the Land of Rain will inevitably fall into the hands of the Iwa ninja."
Ooka Shin asked, "What about the reactions of the other major ninja villages? They probably don't want to see the Iwa ninja occupy the Land of Rain, so are they not taking any action?"
Kyusuke said, "Both Sunagakure and Konoha have increased the number of ninjas near the Land of Rain. It seems that Kumogakure is also making some moves, but our intelligence network is too weak, and we don't know the specific movements of the major ninja villages."
The Great Buddha said, "Hanzo has been able to rule the Land of Rain for so long, he must have enough wisdom and strategy. I guess he has already contacted foreign aid."
Konan had no liking for the Great Ninja Village and snorted.
"Hmph, these great ninja villages are all unreliable. They definitely don't want to help the Land of Rain. They might even conspire to divide us up."
Ooka Nobu sighed, "There's nothing we can do. We're weak, so we have very few options. In any case, we have to decide today whether or not to help Hanzo."
After listening to everyone's opinions, Yahiko finally made up his mind.
"Regardless of our relationship with Hanzo, the Land of Rain should not be invaded by a powerful nation, so I have decided to join forces with Hanzo to resist the Iwa ninja!"
Kyusuke immediately chimed in: "After investigation, it was found that Tanaka Hideyuki was killed by Iwa ninja. We must avenge our comrade!"
"support!"
"agree!"
The group unanimously expressed their support for Yahiko's decision, and the Akatsuki immediately sprang into action, heading to Amegakure under Yahiko's leadership.
On this day, not only was the Akatsuki taking action, but Danzo, at Konoha's base in the northern Land of Fire, also received the latest intelligence from the Land of Rain.
"Hanzo is really capable; he actually wiped out so many Iwa ninja!"
Beside Danzo, Ryoma Aburame smiled and said, "Lord Danzo, do you think Hanzo can pull through this time?"
"The best outcome, of course, would be for them to perish together. However, this place is too far from the Land of Rain to make a decision in time. I will need you to go there."
"Yes! What is the target this time?"
"The main task is to observe the battle situation. If the Iwa ninja wins a major victory, we should intervene immediately. If the Land of Rain wins, you should find an opportunity to instigate internal strife among them."
"Heh, the Rain Village and the Akatsuki are inherently enemies, so it's not difficult to sow discord between them!"
In Sunagakure, Masashi Pakura bids farewell to Sensuke.
"This time, I'm going to take charge of the affairs of the Rain Kingdom. I probably won't be back for a long time, so you must cultivate diligently!"
I gave you a thousand helpers, a thousand reminders, and a thousand instructions.
"Teacher, how many people are you bringing this time? Be sure to observe the reliable people among your subordinates and recruit them into our ranks. Remember to use both kindness and severity. You need to adopt a domineering approach, but also show concern and care. Don't forget to use your power for personal gain!"
Ye Cang looked at his disciple speechlessly, feeling a growing headache.
"If anyone finds out who you learned these ideas from, you're finished."
Chisuke chuckled and said, "Oh dear, it's just the two of us here, so of course we have to tell the truth. Don't worry, teacher, I'm a model Sand Ninja who is completely selfless outside."
Yekura, too lazy to waste words with Chisuke, tossed down a scroll and left.
"This is a new ninjutsu I found. Learn it well and don't be lazy."
Yekura led the Sand Ninja to gather at the border of the Land of Rain, and then sent Yura and others deep into the Land of Rain to gather the latest intelligence.
The Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja also sent ninjas to the Land of Rain to keep an eye on the war there.
