Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 202 The Allied Shinobi Forces' Sensory Unit
The Five Shadows Conference has ended.

The real trouble has only just begun.

When Tsunade returned to Konoha, she received some devastating good news: Jiraiya had brought Naruto Uzumaki back to Konoha from Mount Myōboku.

During this period, the ninja world underwent a dramatic change. Naruto Uzumaki had been hiding on Mount Myōboku. After successfully mastering Sage Mode, he could no longer endure it and insisted on returning to Konoha to participate in the so-called war.

only…

When Naruto returned, he saw Konoha being rebuilt, which surprised him greatly, as he had not yet received any definite news.

"It was Emiya Shihara who did it."

Sakura Haruno, accompanied by her old teammates, was unaware of what had happened that day, only knowing the final outcome: "The village's Jonin took us out on a mission, and when we returned, the entire village was in ruins. We then learned that Shigenori Emiya had led the Akatsuki to attack Konoha that day..."

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists instinctively.

"..."

Jiraiya was fully aware of this matter. He even knew the purpose of Emiya Shihara and the Akatsuki's attack on Konoha, which is why he hid in Mount Myōboku with Uzumaki Naruto during that time.

but…

They did not come away empty-handed during this period.

Because Naruto Uzumaki also obtained the sealing key left by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, at Mount Myōboku, he not only mastered Sage Mode but also gained the ability to release and seal the Nine-Tails' chakra, making him significantly stronger than he had been in the past few years.

That's exactly right...

Jiraiya believed he could no longer teach Naruto Uzumaki any further, so he brought his disciple back to Konoha, thinking that this disciple should also face his own destiny.

"I will stop Emiya's plot from succeeding..."

Looking at the rebuilt Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki declared his resolve: "No matter what he's going to do, I will stop him!"

"..."

Jiraiya very much hoped that this disciple could do it, but he still felt uneasy when he recalled the story that the Great Toad Sage had told him on Mount Myōboku.

That man…

Even the Great Toad Sage wasn't very confident about defeating Emiya Shihara.

Before they left, the Great Toad Sage told them the story of Emiya Shihara's past, hoping that they could persuade Emiya Shihara to turn back from the wrong path during the war, just like Ashura, the ninja who had persuaded Emiya Shihara in the past.

This…

This is a bit too far-fetched!

"You've come back just in time."

When Tsunade met Jiraiya and Naruto, they were busy inside the Hokage Building. She immediately began assigning them tasks: "Jiraiya, you and I will lead the village's ninja army to meet up with the other villages..."

As for Naruto…

"Although Naruto's situation is no longer as dangerous, he will still inevitably be coveted by others. At this time, it's best to avoid appearing in front of other villages..."

after all…

The tailed beasts of the other ninja villages have all been lost.

Only Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha and the Nine-Tails inside him remain.

Although the Kage of each village had resolved to unite at the Five Kage Summit, Naruto's frequent appearances were inevitably somewhat of an eyesore...

What's Konoha up to?
Showing off to them that the village still has tailed beasts?
If the Kage of other villages believe that Konoha intends to use the advantage of having tailed beasts in their villages to gain the upper hand, this would ultimately be detrimental to unity...

Tsunade's idea wasn't wrong.

However, to Tsunade's surprise, it wasn't just Naruto Uzumaki who was still alive in the ninja world; Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure, was also still alive!

The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure didn't have so many thoughts. He simply and decisively took his sworn brother Killer Bee to the Allied Shinobi Forces' meeting, not caring about being gossiped about by people from other villages.

of course.

This kind of thing will inevitably be asked.

The Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee did not choose to hide it either.

Although this Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is still alive, the Eight-Tails is no longer inside him. Only the tail of the Eight-Tails Gyūki remains, which Madara Uchiha left behind because he was worried about his Jinchuriki dying before the Eight-Tails was taken away.

This kind of thing...

This has indeed piqued the curiosity of the other Kage. The relationship between Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts has never been harmonious; Tailed Beasts rarely trust Jinchuriki, often using them as containers to seal them or as weapons to utilize their chakra. The two are usually adversaries.

Eight-tailed bull ghost...

Why would someone leave a tail out of concern for the death of a Jinchūriki?
"Is Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki still alive?"

The Fourth Raikage then looked at Tsunade and made his suggestion: "Our Hidden Cloud Village has a secret realm and method for cultivating Jinchuriki. We could let Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki try it out, which would greatly increase our fighting strength..."

This proposal...

They really do consider Konoha an ally.

The secret of Kumogakure has always allowed them to perfectly utilize the power of the Tailed Beasts, and sharing this secret is truly a great sacrifice.

however…

The Fourth Raikage's reasons are quite valid.

Because the Fourth Raikage truly understood how high the possibility of losing this war was, the entire Allied Shinobi Forces had to strengthen every single force in order to win.

"To put it another way..."

"The tailed beasts must not be allowed to get out of control during the war..."

"I don't know about the Nine-Tails' power, the strongest in the ninja world..."

"But I've heard that one of our enemies, Madara Uchiha, once borrowed the power of the Nine-Tails and fought the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, to a standstill... If that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki goes out of control, he might become Madara Uchiha's weapon against us..."

"That man..."

"It's strong enough already..."

"Then... thank you very much."

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.

From the current perspective, the leadership of the Allied Shinobi Forces is actually united. Although there are conflicts between ninjas from some villages, they can tolerate each other in the overall situation.

"So…"

"Let's assign tasks first!"

"The entire coalition forces were organized by staff officers."

Even though the Kage of these villages had all fought in battles, they still relied more on strategist ninjas to provide them with different strategies in the face of real war.

"Before the grouping..."

"Prioritize selecting sensory ninjas..."

"To ensure we receive information about the enemy as quickly as possible, we must organize a sensory unit as soon as possible, ideally capable of sensing the entire chakra flow throughout the ninja world..."

"Only in this way..."

"Only then can we barely avoid falling behind the enemy in this war..."

Yes.

I just hope...

Intelligence and awareness units will not allow themselves to fall behind the enemy.

Whether it was the Akatsuki organization or Obito Uchiha's side, their speed of action was astonishing. Before that, the major ninja villages had not even found out the Akatsuki organization's movements and could only react after the enemy attacked.

The five great ninja villages have now united to form a powerful intelligence and perception force. The perception techniques of each village have been utilized, and they have quickly begun to establish a base for the perception force at the Allied Forces headquarters, constructing a huge barrier.

Within this barrier…

Numerous chakra reactions appearing throughout the ninja world can be observed.

"The Akatsuki's chakra is reacting..."

Captain Yamanaka Inoichi, who was in charge of the sensory unit, immediately produced a report that showed the Five Kage the advantages of forming the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Where are they?"

The Fourth Raikage, in a fit of temper, demanded an explanation in a sharp voice.

"here…"

Yamanaka Inoichi marked a location on the map with an uneasy expression, seemingly not quite understanding their actions: "The Akatsuki are still within the Land of Rain, seemingly remaining stationary and making no moves..."
