From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 169 Akatsuki Organization Reports!
On the battlefield in the southwest, the Sand Ninja advanced rapidly in the early stages, taking advantage of Konoha's lack of preparedness.

However, once the Ino-Shika-Cho trio led their Konoha forces to the border, the situation between the two sides was suddenly reversed.

As the supreme commander, Nara Shikaku, though making his debut, lived up to the reputation of the 'Nara' family. He frequently devised ingenious strategies on the battlefield, causing the Sand Ninja to suffer repeated defeats. They not only had to give up the territory they had occupied, but were even driven back to the Gobi Desert.

Inside the Konoha camp, Nara Shikaku was planning the upcoming peace talks.

wow~
The tent flap was lifted, and two figures walked in one after the other.

Before the person even arrived, their hearty and loud laughter preceded their arrival.

"Hahahaha. Shikaku, just as you said!" A large, bloated man with long, fiery red hair strode in, his face beaming with joy: "Just as you said, Inoichi and I successfully ambushed Chiyo and routed them!"

"Oh."

Nara Shikaku's reaction was indifferent; he didn't seem surprised at all.

"Shikaku, you've beaten the Sand Ninja so badly, are you sure the Kazekage will agree to peace talks?"

His friend, Yamanaka Inoichi, was wearing armor and covered in blood, clearly having just come from the battlefield, and exuding a murderous aura.

"They will definitely agree."

Nara Shikaku stared intently at the sand table, his brows furrowed: "The Sand Village is not difficult to deal with. Once we realize that we cannot gain the upper hand and that continuing to drag things out will not bring any benefit, the Kazekage will have no choice but to agree to peace talks."

"Shikaku, we've already driven back the Sand Ninja, why are you still frowning?"

Choza Akimichi scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled. It was something to be thankful for, so why did his friend look so serious?
"Actually, I'm not worried about the Sand Village ninja."

Nara Shikaku raised his head, pinched his furrowed brow, sighed, and explained, "To be honest, I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, but I can't quite put my finger on why."

"Shikaku, are you worried about the Cloud Ninja and the Iwa Ninja?" Yamanaka Inoichi saw through his friend's thoughts and comforted him, "Don't worry, the Iwa Ninja has Lord Orochimaru and the Cloud Ninja has the Uchiha clan. Even if they can't win on the front lines, holding them off for a while won't be a problem."

"I hope so"

Nara Shikaku rubbed his temples, his right eyelid twitching slightly.

He always felt that things wouldn't be that simple, but for now he could only hope that there wouldn't be any problems on either side of the battlefield.

Yamanaka Inoichi asked, "According to the plan, we have already driven the Sand Ninja back. If we want to negotiate, now is the best time, right?"

"No, Haiyi, not yet."

Nara Shikaku's eyes gleamed, his expression cold, and he pointed to a spot on the sand table: "Right now, the Kazekage and the Sand Ninja haven't completely given up on their idea of ​​infiltrating Konoha!"

"You mean a night raid?"

Yamanaka Inoichi knew his friend well, so he quickly guessed what he was thinking.

"That's right! That's exactly what I meant!"

Nara Shikaku's eyes were filled with killing intent, and his voice was as cold as a icy wind: "Only when they feel the pain will the Sand Ninja understand that even if they are at war with the four countries at the same time, Konoha is definitely not something they can touch!"

"But... wouldn't pushing too hard backfire?"

Yamanaka Inoichi hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if we completely anger the Sand Village ninja? Would the Kazekage disregard the bigger picture and refuse to negotiate?"

"Hehe, your concerns are very valid, I have considered that."

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, "Don't worry, Inoichi, I will personally lead this night raid. Just make sure it's just big enough to make the Sand Shinobi feel the pain."

"Alright, I trust your judgment, Shikaku."

Yamanaka Inoichi patted his friend on the shoulder and grinned, "After all, you're our 'brain,' so with me and Choza here, just go for it!"

"That's right, that's right!" The hearty Ding Zuo thumped his chest, the sound echoing loudly. "Leave it to me, I guarantee the Sand Ninja will know what pain is!"

With the trust of his two close friends, Nara Shikaku's confidence grew stronger. He clenched his fists and gazed into the distance: "The sooner we end the war, the sooner we can support other battlefields!"

Late at night, the moon and stars are rare.

A carefully selected group of over a hundred people quietly approached the Sand Village's camp.

According to the crucial intelligence that Yamanaka Inoichi stole from the enemy's brain during the day, Chiyo, the puppeteer and the highest-ranking Sand Ninja commander, is here.

Nara Shikaku naturally understood the principle of "capture the leader first," and the biggest goal of this mission was to capture Chiyo, the advisor of the Sand Village.

After a brief rest, more than a hundred Konoha elites, under the cover of night, charged toward the Sand Village's base.

Under the cover of darkness, the Nara and Yamanaka clan ninjas maximized their advantages. By combining Shadow Imitation Technique and Mind Transfer Technique, they assassinated all the patrolling ninjas on the outskirts of the Sand Village almost silently, without even causing a commotion.

The Nara clan's ninjas manipulate shadows, and the moment they control an enemy, their mind is taken over by the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques before the enemy can even cry out.

One by one, the Sand Ninja fell silently in the darkness.

Soon, Nara Shikaku led his elite troops directly into the Sand Village's encampment, coming within a hundred meters of the central camp.

Looking at the barely perceptible chakra threads on the ground, he knew he couldn't get any closer. So, a cold look appeared on his face, and he said, "Choza, it's your turn. Make a scene!"

"Hehe, leave it to me!"

Akimichi Choza clasped his hands together, and his body suddenly swelled dozens of times in size, as if he were inflating: "Secret Technique: Multiplication Technique!"

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, Ding Zuo transformed into a giant over ten meters tall, resembling a small hill.

The sudden appearance of a massive amount of chakra immediately alerted the Sand Village ninja, and many rushed out of their tents, only to discover to their despair that hundreds of Konoha ninja had silently infiltrated their camp and were wreaking havoc.

"Super pusher!"

Intricate patterns appeared on Akimichi Choza's palms before he pressed them down heavily.

After using his Super Multi-Amplification ability, his weight approached 100 tons, and his broad palms, empowered by a massive amount of chakra, were as powerful as a mountain crashing down.

Boom! ! !

In an instant, the ground within a radius of several tens of meters centered on Ding Zuo collapsed with a deafening roar.

The terrifying power surged like a tide, relentlessly impacting all directions. Visible shockwaves and gales roared, blowing away the Sand Ninja and uprooting their camps.

But clearly, Akimichi Choza was not satisfied with this; his goal was to become an advisor to the Sand Village.

So he stretched out his enormous hand, took a single step covering dozens of meters, and slammed his fist into the central tent: "Chiyo, get out here!"

After reaching gigantic size, Dingza's power was beyond imagination; the wind pressure from his punch stirred up countless turbulent air currents.

However, a scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

Ding Zuo's enormous fist stopped in front of the tent, as if it had been forcibly stopped by an invisible, transparent layer.

Immediately afterwards, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly came from inside the tent.

Shinra Tensei!
