Chapter 204 Questioning, War Begins
"There are only the three of us in the team."
"Lin is ignoring you. If you won't talk to me, who else can you talk to?"
"Talking to yourself like you're dreaming at night?"
"By the way, you had some new tricks for talking in your sleep last night. Do you want me to imitate them for you?"
Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha became extremely anxious and almost tried to cover Kakashi Hatake's mouth.
Fortunately, Kakashi Hatake still had some sense of shame and didn't actually say those cheesy things in public.
After joking, Kakashi Hatake said, "Now that Jiraiya-sama is not here, Minato-sensei is holding up the northern front alone, and the pressure is getting greater and greater."
"Kamizuki Nebula must have come to support Minato-sensei in his fight against A and Killer Bee from Kumogakure."
Obito Uchiha raised an eyebrow: "Him?"
One is the pre-selected Fourth Raikage, and the other is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. How could they possibly be opponents?
Kakashi Hatake: "What, you have a problem with that?"
He said seriously, "The Leaf Village's Demon Star is recognized by enemy village ninjas as being above the Jonin level."
"You're just a Chunin, what right do you have to think he's no good?"
"I—I—" Obito Uchiha stammered.
He couldn't quite put his finger on it; ultimately, it was his mindset that was at play. He couldn't accept that his former classmates, whom he had looked down upon, had somehow managed to rise to the pinnacle of success after hurting his beloved Lin.
Thinking of the other person's past with Lin, the sweetness and sadness he dared not delve into, a pang of pain shot through his heart.
"Waaaah—Lin, my Lin."
Shenyue Xingyun, you bastard, one day I'll make you regret hurting Lin.
On the other side, under the guidance of Bo Shuifengmen, Shen Yuexingyun briefly familiarized herself with the environment and terrain around the camp. After having dinner together, she returned to her own tent to rest.
Things are getting better now. The camp has prepared a standard Jonin tent for him, a private room with fairly complete living supplies. It's just that Kurenai Yuhi couldn't come, so there's no one to warm his hands often anymore.
Just as I was about to wash up and rest, a familiar mature woman's voice came from outside the door.
"I am Uzuki Yuhi, a Jonin of the Nebula."
"Please come in."
The curtain was pulled back, and Uzuki Yuhi walked in with a small notebook in her hand.
Shingetsu Seiun: "Jonin Yuhi, is there some unexpected situation?"
Uzuki Sunset gently shook her head: "No."
"There's something I need to ask you, I don't know if it's convenient."
Shenyue Xingyun: "What is it? Ask away."
Uzuki Yuhi: "Neki, according to the Hokage's arrangement, your mission on the northern front is similar to that of Minato, the Jonin."
"For the mission to go smoothly, I need to know your specific capabilities. This information won't be provided in the intelligence reports, so if it's convenient, could you please tell me your specific combat methods and strengths so I can plan the operation accordingly?"
Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and nodded.
"Can."
He realized that on the Northwest front, although Minato Namikaze was nominally the acting commander, he was only the leader in charge of combat and firefighting. The special Jonin in front of him was the one who was truly responsible for the arrangements and plans.
Similar to a chief of staff.
His main combat tactics have already been revealed in previous battles, so there's no harm in telling the other side.
"My main skill is swordsmanship, and as for my level—if I'm not targeted, I could probably handle an elite Jonin."
"The speed is acceptable."
"Ninjutsu doesn't have many ways to fight enemies, but for large-scale ninjutsu, it can be used to unleash huge fireballs."
Uzuki Sunset: "What about its range and power?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "It has a range of over 100 meters and can launch group attacks against ordinary ninjas. Its burst damage is also quite good, but it consumes a lot of energy and is difficult to fire continuously."
The woman, who was recording the sunset of the month of Maoyue, stopped writing and looked up in surprise.
"Over a hundred meters? A Nebula Jonin, this is no joke."
One hundred meters.
This is a scale that even elite Jonin cannot achieve.
In the ninja world, those who can release ninjutsu with a range of 100 meters are all powerful figures renowned in their respective regions. As for fire release techniques that can reach a range of 100 meters, the only one that Uzuki Yuhi remembers is Jiraiya.
No! If you include the Hidden Mist Technique of Kirigakure, there might be even more.
Faced with Uzuki Yuhi's questioning, Shinzuki Seiun calmly replied, "There's no need to lie about this. Besides—I never lie to women."
Uzuki Yuki's gaze was thoughtful. She suppressed her doubts for the time being and closed the notebook.
"Nebula Jonin, I've noted your special skills. I hope the upcoming mission goes smoothly."
As for the actual power of the fireball they claimed to possess, we'll find out on the battlefield. If the battle goes against us and their ninjutsu isn't as powerful as they say, it proves they're exaggerating, and we'll be cautious about using them in future missions.
If what the other party said is true—that would be quite impressive.
A young, handsome, and incredibly talented genius—quite impressive!
The next day.
As a red signal flare lit up in the distance of the camp, the ninjas responsible for observation inside the camp immediately sprang into action.
"Report! A small number of enemies have appeared in the northwest of the camp."
"Report! A large number of enemies have appeared in the northeast of the camp!"
"Report! Cloud Village's infiltrator unit detected!"
"Report!----"
Messages were relayed to the command tent by the messenger ninjas, and inside, Uzuki Yuhi quickly sprang into action.
The markers on the sand table moved constantly in her hands, clearly indicating the enemy's movements.
Subsequently, with the water gate's approval, she issued the instructions.
"Order the vanguard to maintain vigilance and retreat in an orderly manner."
"Order: The flank troops shall not move rashly and shall await further orders."
"Order the troops in the southeast direction to prepare explosive tags and combat supplies, and prepare to defend against the enemy."
Commands were continuously issued, and the ninjas relayed signals according to the codebooks assigned to them by Uzuki Yuhi.
Inside the main tent, Jonin were frequently dispatched by Uzuki Yuhi to provide support in various locations.
Shingetsu Seiun sat not far away, watching Uzuki Yuhi, who was like a sophisticated computer, constantly processing complex information and issuing combat orders based on Konoha's troop deployment.
Very efficient.
However, it also puts a lot of pressure on the setting sun in the month of Maoyue.
In just half an hour, Shenyue Xingyun saw that Maoyue Xiyang's hair, which had been neatly styled, started to become messy again, with a few strands hanging down beside her ears, which she had haphazardly held back with a pen.
It looks a little bit sexy.
At that moment, Minato Namikaze, sitting next to Shingetsu Seiun, said softly, "Impressive, isn't it?"
Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Indeed. You have a good assistant."
Minato Namikaze said, "Thanks to Yuhi, I was able to withstand the pressure on the northern front. Otherwise, without my teacher, I wouldn't have been able to hold on by myself."
"Given her irreplaceable role on the northern front, she was more than qualified to be a Jonin. Unfortunately, when I submitted the list, the Third Hokage rejected her because her strength was far below that of a Jonin."
"1
Shenyue Xingyun nodded thoughtfully: "The third generation is getting old."
Minato Namikaze: "!!?"
