Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

Jiraiya revealed their plan, which sent chills down Nara Shoji's spine.

That's way too risky!

No wonder those ninjas were all moved to tears when they saw them.

It turns out that their numbers under Orochimaru's command had dwindled from over ninety to just over twenty, with nearly seventy of them sacrificing their lives.

Although Nara Shoji felt that Orochimaru's plan was very risky.

However, the effect is quite obvious; they are now located about 6 kilometers from the border.

Don't underestimate these six kilometers; you can accomplish a great deal in them.

If they are still on the border, it will be quite difficult to advance the front line, even with their support.

What shocked Nara Shoji even more was that the plan was devised by Chiba, and the plan was based primarily on Chiba's ideas.

Chapter 73 Stability

Konoha's reinforcements finally arrived.

Nara Shoji handed over command of the ninja force to Orochimaru, who immediately made arrangements and stationed them on the spot.

This time it wasn't just a tent, but a proper campsite.

Using the ninjutsu of earth-style ninjas, they construct various infrastructures.

This time, the Cloud Ninja saw that the Konoha reinforcements had arrived, so they haven't come to harass us for the past few days, only sending a few reconnaissance ninjas to investigate.

However, with the Hyuga clan ninjas present, these reconnaissance ninjas had nowhere to hide and were easily discovered.

Finally able to get some rest, Chiba is currently writing a letter with paper and pen in a small room she built using Earth Release ninjutsu.

A rare gentle smile appeared on Qianyu's face.

The only person who could bring such a smile to Chiyu's face is Uzumaki Kushina.

This letter was written to her.

After writing a lengthy message that filled two pages, Qianyu summoned a snake and tied the letter to its body.

"Deliver this letter to Kushina in Konoha."

The snake couldn't speak; it simply flicked its tongue at Qianyu before swimming out of the room to act as a messenger and deliver a message for her.

After watching the snake leave, Chiyu lay on the stone bed, looking at the letter he had just received granting him promotion to Special Jonin, and pondered his future.

After the process was completed a few days ago, the system sent a notification.

[The host participated in a war event and was rewarded with 500 Witness Points.]

This reward was unexpected for Chiyu, because in Chiyu's view, this was not a war event, but only a skirmish on the eve of a war.

Qianyu immediately inquired with the system.

The system's answer surprised Qianyu even more.

[According to the original plan, the operation would wait for Konoha's reinforcements to arrive, and then be led by Minato Namikaze. Now, the host can directly participate in this event and gain Witness Points.]

Qianyu immediately understood.

The system had said that any event that affected the ninja world could earn Witness Points, not just the important events in his memory.

The original focus should have been on Minato Namikaze, but he intercepted it, thus gaining the witness points.

From this perspective, obtaining witness points is quite flexible.

The current situation is very serious for Konoha, but for the four great ninja villages, it is at most a minor skirmish.

Because the elite Jonin from each ninja village have not yet arrived.

For example, the AB brothers from Kumogakure, and ninjas like Pakura and Chiyo from Sunagakure.

Qianyu obtains Witness Points mainly through these people.

However, since these people haven't entered yet, Qianyu can only try to get some witness points from other sources.

Since it was originally Minato Namikaze who was active on the battlefield, Chiba became even more active than Minato, stealing the credit that Minato should have received in order to gain witness points.

Currently, Chiba's main attack methods are Lightning Breathing and Fire Release ninjutsu.

However, his attack methods will eventually be analyzed by others, who will find ways to counter them.

Therefore, Chiyu needs to add new attack methods.

The most important way to acquire new tools is through witness points.

Through witness points, you can continuously grow stronger until you can control everything.

Qianyu opened her palms, looked at her calloused hands, and murmured, "It's not enough, far from enough."

...

On the other side, Minato Namikaze was inside the room, and Jiraiya was also there.

Jiraiya solemnly handed a scroll to Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, this scroll contains the Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu developed and performed by the Second Hokage."

Minato Namikaze suppressed his excitement, solemnly accepted the scroll from Jiraiya's hand, bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei!"

Jiraiya waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk like that. There are some things I need to explain to you in advance. The Flying Thunder God Technique is extremely difficult to master. Since the Second Hokage created this ninjutsu, no one but him has learned it."

To learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, you need to have high-precision perception, a large amount of chakra, and exceptional nerve reflexes.

Even if you have all these conditions, you may not be able to learn it. After all, it's not like no one has ever had these conditions before, yet they still failed to learn it.

Therefore, I hope you can approach the Flying Thunder God Technique with a calm mind. Even if you can't learn it, it's okay. I will find other suitable techniques for you to learn, such as the Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku.

Minato Namikaze nodded: "I understand, Jiraiya-sensei."

"Also, this is your authorization letter for becoming a Special Jonin, which I am handing over to you as well."

Jiraiya took out an envelope and handed it to Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze asked in surprise, "Can I become a Special Jonin too?"

Jiraiya explained, "Minato, although your brilliance was overshadowed by Chiba in these two operations, don't underestimate yourself. Your previous achievements are enough for you to be promoted."

Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder: "Alright, I know you're eager to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique now. Good luck!"

After Jiraiya left, Minato Namikaze immediately opened the scroll and began practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Time flies, and another week has passed.

Although there were some frictions with the Yunren during this period, they were all kept to themselves.

The more than 80 ninjas that Konoha has sent to support them are all from ninja clans, and even the Chunin are quite powerful.

If the Cloud Ninja underestimate their opponents, even the elite Jonin might fall into their hands.

The quality of these 80-plus ninjas was several times higher than that of the 150-plus ninjas that Jiraiya brought at the beginning.

However, the most precious thing was the eight medical ninjas who came to provide support.

These eight medical ninjas are the real treasures.

After all, injuries are common in battle, and having a medical ninja is like having a guarantee.

Chiba also received a reply from Kushina Uzumaki.

As Qianyu read the letter, a warm, spring-like smile remained on her face.

Kushina Uzumaki has resumed her mission, but in her letter, she says she always feels like someone is following her.

Chiyu guessed it must be someone from the Anbu.

Given the previous example of the Cloud Ninja almost kidnapping Kushina Uzumaki, it's only natural that Hiruzen Sarutobi would arrange for the Anbu to protect her.

After all, Kushina Uzumaki was too important to Konoha, especially as Mito Uzumaki's health deteriorated day by day, making Kushina Uzumaki even more important.

The rest of the letter contained some trivial matters that Kushina Uzumaki encountered in her life or missions.

Even these trivial matters, Qianyu read them several times.

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki's reply, Chiba's mood improved considerably.

Chapter 74 The Panic-Stricken Uchiha

After reading Kushina Uzumaki's reply, Chiba decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go for some training.

When Chiyu walked out of the room, the ninjas who saw her smile were all nearly dumbfounded.

Every time they saw Qianyu, they had a cold face, as if everyone owed him money.

The fact that she was laughing like that gave them the illusion that Qianyu had become more humane.

Jiraiya, in particular, who had originally intended to check on Minato Namikaze's training progress, saw Chiba's smile and decisively gave up on visiting his disciple, instead running to Orochimaru's room.

"Something terrible has happened, Orochimaru!"

At this moment, Orochimaru was holding a scroll of ninjutsu and reading it.

Four members of the Nara clan came in total.

Every member of the Nara clan possesses exceptionally high intelligence, along with outstanding strategic thinking and judgment.

Now Orochimaru doesn't need to do everything himself, and he has a little free time to do his own things.

Hearing Jiraiya shout that something was wrong, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiraiya: "What? The Cloud Ninja are here?"

Jiraiya shook his head and said, "No, it's your disciple, Senba, who actually smiled!"

Orochimaru frowned slightly: "What's so strange about that? Chiba has laughed before, why are you making such a fuss?"

Jiraiya asked incredulously, "You call a cold laugh a laugh?"

However, Jiraiya quickly processed it: "In your opinion, a sneer is definitely a smile, after all, your smile also looks like a sneer. You two are cut from the same cloth, I'm making a fuss over nothing."

Orochimaru refocused his attention on the ninjutsu scroll.
