Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"teacher?"

Yoruichi Yagami was completely bewildered when he was called out of the Ninja Academy by Yoruichi Yagami.

"Teacher, is there something you need?" Yagami Yoruichi asked, puzzled.

"Something unexpected has happened, and I have to go to the front lines. It's not safe for you to stay in Konoha; you're coming with me." Tsunade tossed a document to Yagami Yoruichi: "This is the transfer order; write your name on it yourself."

"Battlefield?" Yagami Yoruichi wondered.

During this period, the Second Shinobi World War had already ended, and the Third Shinobi World War had not yet begun, so where would the war come from?

If it was a war with the small ninja village that wasn't recorded in the original work, would Tsunade have had to go to the front line in person?

More importantly, Tsunade suffers from hemophobia!

Go to the battlefield, go to your death?

Yagami Yoruichi opened the dispatch order with a puzzled look and saw that the target was a defense mission at the border of the Land of Rivers. The map of the ninja world immediately appeared in her mind.

The Land of Rivers, nestled between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, consists of only a small, insignificant ninja village.

A small ninja village of this level isn't even considered an enemy to Konoha; a few Jonin could easily wipe it out.

Even if war were to break out with the Land of Rivers, it wouldn't be a major conflict.

Therefore, the only target can be the Land of Wind.

Judging from the objective in the transfer order, it is a border defense mission. Could it be that Sunagakure has an intention to invade?

The trigger for the Third Shinobi World War seems to have been the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure. Then, for some reason, the Sunagakure leadership came up with the solution of invading Konoha.

To attack a ninja village far stronger than oneself in order to resolve internal conflicts when there isn't even a 'Kage' is incredibly stupid.

but……

Yagami Yoruichi remembered that although the Third Shinobi World War was started by the Sand Village's attack on Konoha, it didn't seem to have started this early.

Thinking to himself, Yagami Yoruichi asked, "Teacher, is there any news from the Land of Wind?"

“You’re quite perceptive.” Tsunade glanced at Yagami Yoruichi and said, “The Sand Village ninjas have mobilized in large numbers, with no clear objective. We’re only going to the front lines as a precaution, not because war is inevitable. Of course, since war is a possibility, we must prepare for the worst.”

"I understand." Yagami Yoru nodded, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind.

This time, it's highly unlikely that a war will break out.

In other words, going to the front lines was just a formality.

But why did Tsunade insist on bringing him along?

Thinking back to the Root attack, Yagami Yoruichi asked, "Teacher, did you bring me along because of Root?"

"That's one reason, and Orochimaru too..."

Tsunade stopped mid-sentence, then shook her head and said, "In short, remember this: Orochimaru has ill intentions towards you. If I leave the village, I won't be able to protect you, so I have to take you with me."

"Understood." Yagami Yoru nodded and asked, "Can I bring others along?"

If you leave, others might harm those around you.

Since we can determine that this mission is likely just a formality, it's better to bring everyone along; it would be safer than leaving them in the village.

"Your two classmates? That's fine." Tsunade nodded and said, "Their strength is sufficient."

Kakashi Hatake and Inagi Uchiha both possess the strength of a Special Jonin. Although they lack experience, their raw strength surpasses that of most ninjas, ensuring they wouldn't be a liability in a real war.

“And then there’s Kurenai,” Yagami Yoruichi immediately said. “If Danzo or Orochimaru were to target those around me, Kurenai would be the most dangerous. I don’t feel comfortable leaving her alone in the village. She also has the strength of a Chunin, so she won’t be a hindrance on the battlefield.”

"Your little girlfriend?" Tsunade frowned, but didn't say no. She just reminded her, "You need her parents' permission."

Yoruichi Yagami then realized that her words didn't count.

Without Kurenai Yuhi's consent, Yoruichi Yagami would naturally not have been able to bring Kurenai Yuhi to the battlefield.

After a moment's thought, Yagami Yoruichi decided to discuss it with Yuhi Shinku first.

From Yoruichi Yagami's perspective, it's safest for Kurenai Yuhi to stay by her side, since going to the front lines for defense is just a formality and there's a high probability that a real battle won't break out.

But Kurenai Yuhi wouldn't think that way.

If Kurenai were to remain in the village, she would have to be protected by Shinku at all times to ensure her safety.

If Yuhi Shinku disagrees with going to the front lines with him, then he must persuade Yuhi Shinku to take leave from the Ninja Academy during his absence and stay at home under Yuhi Shinku's 24-hour protection.

Having known each other for so long, Yagami Yoru knew from the beginning that Yuhi Maku was a typical "doting father." For her daughter's safety, taking time off from school was a small matter that Yuhi Maku probably wouldn't care about.

As for the fact that Yuhi Shinku would dislike her even more after learning about this, Yagami Yoruichi didn't care at all.

In any case, Kurenai Yuhi had long been inseparable from him, and Shinku Yuhi couldn't stop her even if she wanted to, so she could only rage in vain.

Thinking this, Yagami Yoruichi bid farewell to Tsunade, first creating a shadow clone to return to the classroom and greet Kurenai Yuhi, telling her that she had to leave for a moment.

Then, Yoruichi Yagami's true form went straight to Kurenai Yuhi's house to find Shinku Yuhi.

The conversation did not go smoothly, and the result was not satisfactory.

Kurenai Yuhi received a transfer order, but out of concern for his daughter, he chose to ask for leave and stay in Konoha.

Clearly, he did not agree to Yagami Yoruichi's suggestion to take Yuhi Kurenai to the front lines, and instead prepared to protect his daughter himself.

Having received a reply, Yoruichi Yagami did not persist any further.

Kurenai Yuhi was, after all, an elite Jonin. In Konoha, she shouldn't be unable to protect even her own daughter.

As for Kurenai's dissatisfaction after receiving the news, she can only be appeased slowly after she returns.

Leaving the village this time was unexpected and not part of Yagami Yoruichi's plan.

But perhaps it is also an opportunity to accelerate the improvement of our strength.

The crafting cost for the [Overlord Blood Armor] is only a few hundred gold coins away.

If you're lucky, a battle might break out, and you can easily collect the required number by killing a few enemies.

If the battle is large enough and goes as expected, and the official ninjas of the five great ninja villages are recognized as [hero] units by the system, then as long as enough enemies are killed, it is possible to directly collect all six divine equipment.

Over 7,000 gold coins, which, based on the kill reward of a single hero unit in Hextech ARAM mode ranging from 100 to 200 gold coins, is just a matter of a few dozen kills.

However, with the expedition imminent, Yagami Yoruichi had no time to think about these messy things.

He hurriedly purchased ninja tools, consumables, and so on, then rushed back to the ninja academy to pick up Kurenai Yuhi after school. He spent an evening with the little girl and told her that he was going to leave the village with his teacher.

"Are you leaving again?"

Kurenai was a little sullen, but she was very sensible and didn't throw a tantrum. She just looked at Yoruichi with a pitiful expression and asked, "When are you coming back?! What if I miss you?"

"I don't know how long it will take."

Yoruichi Yagami, unaware of the mission's timing, changed the subject and instructed Kurenai Yuhi, "There are some bad people in the village who want to get back at me. They can't touch me, but they might target you, capturing you to threaten me. While I'm away from the village, don't go to school. Stay home obediently and don't separate from Uncle Kurenai, understand?"

As long as you are with Kurenai Yuhi and within Konoha Village, you are absolutely safe.

Even a Kage-level powerhouse couldn't possibly break through the protection of Yuhi Kurenai, an elite Jonin, and capture her without alerting Konoha's barrier and the Anbu.

But if the two separate, then it's hard to say.

Previously, Yagami Yoruichi, confident in her ability to protect Yuhi Kurenai, had never spoken to her about this matter.

But now that I'm going to be away from the village for a long time and won't be able to protect Kurenai in person, I have to let her know about the hidden dangers.

Even if it's just a possibility.

"Huh?" When Kurenai heard there was danger, her first reaction wasn't to worry about herself, but to grab Yoruichi Yagami's hand tightly and ask anxiously, "What about you? You won't be alright, will you? It's not safe even in the village, could the people who want to deal with you be from the village?"

“He’s from the village, and even the Hokage can’t handle him, which is why it’s dangerous.” Yagami Yoruichi smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I have my teacher protecting me, everything will be fine. But you also need to be careful, don’t leave Uncle Shinku’s side, don’t make me worry, okay?”

"Okay, I'll be a good girl!"

Kurenai nodded her little head vigorously, making a 'I'm so good' expression, but her eyes were filled with tears, and she struggled to hold them back from crying.

After finally managing to soothe the little girl, it was already late at night when I got home.

Yagami Yoruichi used shadow clones to contact Uchiha Inahashi and Hatake Kakashi.

Uchiha Inahi was to join the Uchiha clan and, under the leadership of Koharu Utatane, go to guard the border towards the Land of Water.

Kakashi Hatake, on the other hand, was chosen by Minato Namikaze to join Jiraiya on more dangerous and challenging infiltration missions.

In a sense, among those around Yoruichi Yagami during this large-scale operation, only Kakashi Hatake was truly in danger.

However, with Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze present, and Kakashi Hatake himself being quite strong, the chances of escaping unscathed are not small.

Yagami Yoruichi wasn't too worried about him, since worrying wouldn't help. She was going to follow Tsunade to the border of the Land of Rivers, and her influence couldn't reach as far as the Land of Water.

Instead, we should think more about how to get the most benefit from this mission.

It was already late at night when they returned to the Senju clan's territory. Yagami Yoruichi packed up his ninja tools and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Yagami Yoruichi and Tsunade set off from Konoha with the main force.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the departing group of ninjas through his telescope jutsu, muttering to himself, "Hopefully, war won't break out! Konoha can't afford another major battle right now!"

Chapter 106 Yagami Yoruichi: Could we be running into Sasori of the Red Sand?!

The ninja world is not very large, and the Land of Fire is just one of the larger countries within it.

However, this "not big" is relative to the Earth in Yagami Yoruichi's previous life.

Even at a ninja's speed, traveling on foot would take a considerable amount of time.

After leaving Konoha, the several hundred ninjas quickly split into small teams.

The fighting style of ninjas, and other aspects, are different from those of an army composed of ordinary people.

Unless it is a large-scale war, it is more in line with the ninja's combat habits to divide them into small groups.

Even when traveling, they did not gather together, but were divided into dozens of teams, each with a few to twenty or thirty people. Each team maintained a moderate distance from the others, with some responsible for sensing, others for clearing the way and removing traps, and still others for staying at the rear of the team to provide support should a battle break out.

"The commander-in-chief for this frontline defense mission is advisor Mitokado Homura. I will be in charge of logistics and medical care. You will be coming with me."

Tsunade gave Yagami Yoruichi some instructions.

"Teacher," Yagami Yoruichi offered a different opinion, "If there are combat missions, could I participate?"

"You brat!" Tsunade's expression changed slightly. "Didn't I tell you Orochimaru has ill intentions towards you? His mission may be different from ours, but it's still in the Land of Rivers! If Orochimaru makes a move against you..."

Orochimaru?
