Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 142 You're using the Flying Thunder God Technique for this? (Third Update)

If Kumogakure (Cloud Village) falls, Iwagakure (Iwagakure Village) will fall.

Mist Shadow, who loves to stir up trouble, will certainly not sit still.

When that time comes, the situation that Konoha faced during the Second Shinobi World War will surely be repeated.

Multiple battlefronts were launched simultaneously.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't return to the village in the short term, he will have to retreat as Konoha's situation becomes increasingly dire.

Why is Yubi so wary of Hiruzen Sarutobi?

It's because a Shadow-level unit is simply impossible to ignore on the battlefield.

Compared to the core forces of the Konoha army, the Sunagakure side currently only has two advantages.

One is a puppeteer, and the other is a medical team.

In terms of individual combat strength, if Sunagakure wants to defeat Konoha, then his and Sasori's performance on the battlefield is indispensable.

But as long as Sarutobi is around, he and Sasori have to be careful.

The victory in the first battle is unlikely to be repeated—with the Third Hokage present, the consequences of continued large-scale fighting might be unbearable for Sunagakure.

However, he and Sasori couldn't easily participate in or act in small-scale conflicts because—Yubi feared that Hiruzen Sarutobi might use a bait-and-switch tactic. If he and Sasori showed themselves, Hiruzen was highly likely to suddenly appear.

Having lived two lives, Yubi was extremely familiar with the practice of "entrapment" as a form of law enforcement.

Although, people in this world are not so wicked, and are relatively simple and honest.

Yubi also had to be careful; after all, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Don't be fooled by Hiruzen Sarutobi's kind and benevolent demeanor towards the younger generation of Konoha—it's only because they're his own people.

Anyway, putting himself in Sarutobi's shoes, if he were Sarutobi, he would definitely try to get rid of himself and Sasori first, and would never let them go unattended.

As Yubi spent more and more time in this world and gradually integrated into it, her experiences and observations about growing up made her perspective on the world less naive.

As the old saying goes, the older you get, the more cunning you become.

Who knows what Hiruzen Sarutobi's true intentions are hidden beneath that kind-hearted exterior?

And as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi leaves the front lines, then—his and Sasori's abilities will have the greatest scope to be utilized.

They could easily overpower the members of the Konoha clan.

"Let's stall them for now and keep harassing the borders of the Land of Fire—after Kumogakure, it's Iwagakure's turn—I want to see how long the Third Hokage can stay on this battlefield." Yubi smiled slightly.

"it is good."

Arai nodded.

"Tell the village to have the factory ramp up production of the new drug."

Yubi said to his messenger.

"Yes."

After hearing this, the other party turned and left.

Their battle with Konoha has attracted widespread attention.

Although they were driven out of the Land of Fire in their first battle against Konoha, they dealt a heavy blow to Konoha, an outcome that most of the other ninja villages had not anticipated.

Soon, word will spread that Sunagakure is overpowering Konoha with its superior medical resources.

This undoubtedly dealt a strong blow to the new industries of Sunagakure.

That's right, this was also part of Yubi's plan.

Leverage Konoha – conduct the most valuable and effective marketing campaign!

It is foreseeable that, with their first battle against Konoha as a precedent, other ninja villages will spare no expense to purchase medicines in order to defeat Konoha on the battlefield.

Then—the money will come, won't it?

Time slowly passed, day by day.

Konoha and Sunagakure appear to be frequently engaged in fierce battles within the Land of Rivers.

But most of them were small-scale events.

Besides the battles, both Sunagakure and Konoha employed a variety of unexpected tactics.

Assassination, reconnaissance, seizure of supplies, and detention of prisoners of war—these are merely the most conventional methods.

It's important to understand that in a protracted war, villages compete not only in terms of troop strength and combat power, but also in intelligence gathering.

As time goes on, information about both sides on this battlefield will become increasingly open and transparent.

At that point, it will become like the battlefield between Sunagakure and Iwagakure. Without variables like Yubi and Sasori joining the fray, the battle will become stagnant, with both armies simply engaging in a war of attrition to see who can hold out longer.

Long.

And eventually, even tactics that are still very innovative will gradually lose their effectiveness.

As both sides become more familiar with each other, the value of tactics will decrease.

Yubi gets very little rest each day.

The outbreak of the Ninja World War is definitely a good thing for him.

Not only the village benefited, but he also did!

Although his increased strength has reduced the system's experience gain from individual targets, the battlefield buffs have allowed him to gain experience at a rocket-like speed and in great quantity.

Both positive and negative empirical values ​​are surging.

This left him feeling physically and mentally exhausted every day.

But before going to sleep, looking at his assets on the system panel, he couldn't help but feel a sense of solid satisfaction.

That feeling was shattered one day by a sudden event.

Yubi, Arai, and the others arrived at a Sunagakure stronghold in the Land of Rivers under the cover of night after hearing the news.

This stronghold is some distance from their base, located far behind the front lines of their battle with Konoha, making it relatively safe.

After all, their Sunagakure stronghold on the battlefield was just ahead.

Anyone from Konoha who wants to venture deep into this area faces immense danger.

This stronghold was precisely where their Sunagakure army stored supplies.

To put it simply, it's a warehouse.

This includes pharmaceutical resources.

It's important to understand that a prolonged war consumes an enormous amount of resources.

Therefore, this is where the logistics troops come in handy. The village would transport supplies to the battlefield from time to time according to the needs of the front line—ensuring that the army could be resupplyed in a timely manner.

Among these, the most important and valuable item for Sunagakure is medicine.

After all, it is these medicines that have enabled Sunagakure's medical teams to improve the survivability of their various teams on the battlefield and have kept them entangled with Konoha until now.

Now—all the medicines in the stronghold have disappeared.

Vanished into thin air—

Having understood the cause and effect, Yubi immediately analyzed the truth.

Minato Namikaze—

Yubi uttered a name.

The location of this outpost was a secret, even within their own military.

Very few people know about it.

Given the importance of the supplies, Yubi deliberately concealed them and did not place them in the army's encampment.

Unexpectedly, they were still found by the people of Konoha.

Fortunately, the amount of stolen medicine resources was not large—it was just a batch that had just been transported to the village.

I haven't accumulated too much yet.

Otherwise, the losses would be considerable.

In the Konoha army, only Minato Namikaze possesses this ability to remain completely undetected.

Besides the Flying Thunder God Technique, given Minato's mastery of space-time ninjutsu, he was able to pack up and take away so many items at once, sealing them into a scroll.

It can only be him.

"I knew it—although Konoha seemed to be entangled with us during this period, their manpower deployment on the battlefield wasn't that sharp—it turns out they were covering for the thieves in the rear, misleading us." Yubi smacked his lips.

This was indeed an unexpected approach.

"The future Fourth Hokage, the famous Flying Thunder God Technique—why become a thief of all things?"

Yubi's eyelids twitched, and she muttered to herself.

Whose bad idea was that?

The Third Hokage?

Konoha is envious of their medicine—if they can't get it, they'll just steal it!

What about our identity—what about our perspective?

This is shameless!

"I knew it—that old man is cunning, we have to be careful."

Yubi glanced at the somewhat exasperated Arai beside her, giving him a look that said, "See? I told you so."

"Arai paused for a moment, then for the first time lost his composure, gritting his teeth as he said, "That old bastard—"
