Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 145 The Third Eye

In just a few days, the infiltrated Iwagakure squads in the area under Aoba's command were almost completely wiped out.

Along with other defense zones, the number of infiltrating Iwagakure squads has also been greatly reduced.

Being unafraid of death does not mean making meaningless sacrifices.

They can share half of the looted supplies, and even if they die, they can enjoy the same treatment as those who died in battle in the village.

And they don't need to fight against the Konoha ninja.

Many ninjas succeeded in raiding in the early stages, making others envious. However, as more and more ninjas went and never returned, those who came later began to hesitate.

After all, the fear of death is a biological instinct.

When the news reached the command post, Jiraiya looked at the battle report and remained silent for a long time.

"That kid—"

The pineapple-headed ninja next to him also came over for a look and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"How did he do that?"

"It must be that kid's summoned beast."

Although it was unclear exactly how Aoba had done it, Jiraiya could still guess the general idea from some of his orders and arrangements.

Jiraiya put down the battle report and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"I told you, don't underestimate him."

At the same time, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they all knew that this kind of rogue tactic would only be effective if it could be suppressed in the early stages, and would become ineffective later.

Those who can so decisively self-destruct are basically die-hard loyalists of the village, people who are willing to give everything for the village.

Even if such a person is not very capable, he is still a valuable asset to the village and the cornerstone of the village.

Onoki couldn't possibly let someone like that keep coming to his death.

On the other side, in a dense forest on the border of the Land of Fire.

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!"

An Iwagakure ninja formed hand seals, and several sharp rock spears instantly sprang up from the ground, attempting to force back the Konoha ninja in front of him.

But he was facing Aoba.

"Too slow."

""

Qingye leaped high into the air, the sand beneath his feet creating a floating platform that suspended him in mid-air, his gaze indifferent.

He didn't even make a hand seal; a large amount of yellow sand suddenly gushed out from the large yellow gourd behind him.

The sand, like a giant, living python, instantly bypassed the rock pillar spear's defense and tightly coiled around the rock ninja's body.

"Damn Konoha brats! For the glory of Iwagakure!"

A mad, resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Iwa ninja as he prepared to detonate the explosive tag attached to his chest.

However, how could Aoba give him that chance? The sand instantly wrapped around his arm, and then a large amount of sand covered his body.

"Sand-bound coffin!"

Aoba clenched his right fist suddenly.

puff!

The yellow sand tightened instantly, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound of bones shattering. The rock ninja didn't even get close to the edge of the explosive tag before being crushed to death by the violent sand. Blood seeped out from the gaps in the sand, staining the ground red.

Click.

After a dull thud, the sand loosened, and a lifeless body slid to the ground.

"Clean up the scene, take inventory of personnel and supplies, and then report back to headquarters."

Aoba casually gave a brief instruction to the two Konoha ninjas below who were already stunned. Without waiting for their response, the sand cushion rose into the air, carrying him directly into the sky.

"Yes, Lord Aoba!"

Several Konoha ninjas responded loudly with expressions of awe.

"Lord Sandwall is incredibly strong! That Iwa ninja didn't even have time to touch the explosive tags—"

"Stop standing there like an idiot, hurry up and pack!"

In mid-air, Qingye stood on the sand mat, letting the cold wind at high altitude make the corners of her clothes flutter.

They hadn't flown far when a hoarse "cawing" sound came from the sky.

A one-eyed crow flew in from afar and landed steadily on Qingye's shoulder. If you looked closely, you would find that the so-called "one eye" was not actually blind. It was not a bird's eye, but a pure white human pupil.

Roll your eyes!

That's right, this is the Byakugan that Hyuga Muneya intercepted and transplanted into this summoning crow by Aoba.

In the original work, Itachi Uchiha was able to stuff Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan into a crow's eye socket, and even set the trigger conditions.

Not to mention, with Aoba's current level of medical expertise, it's practically a piece of cake for him.

This crow is much larger than a normal crow.

It was a product of Aoba's previous experiment with White Zetsu cells. The crows were already very intelligent, and after being enhanced by the White Zetsu cells, they now have the intelligence of a ten-year-old child.

It affectionately nuzzled Aoba's cheek with its head.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Aoba raised his hand and gently stroked the crow's head, then took out a small soldier's ration pill from his ninja tool pouch and fed it to the crow.

The crow flapped its wings and flew away into the distance once more.

Aoba formed a hand seal with one hand.

[Connecting to the visual nerves —]

[The third eye—open!]

Through a special chakra connection, the vision from Crow's left eye was instantly shared with his mind.

The flow of chakra, the terrain, and even the life forms hidden underground and in tree hollows within a radius of several kilometers were clearly projected into Aoba's mind through a special spiritual connection.

As a special note, the world seen through the white eye is not black and white, but rather has color.

During the Chunin Exams, when Hyuga Neji used his Byakugan, he clearly saw that Shikamaru was wearing colorful clothes.

Furthermore, one of the basic abilities of the Byakugan is to use chakra to amplify the power of the eye, allowing it to see things within a radius of one kilometer.

This refers to the ability of the white eye to see through obstacles within a kilometer radius, allowing it to see everything within that range in minute detail.

If you're simply looking into the distance, you can see even further.

After all, an ordinary person, standing on a cliff by the sea and straining to see into the distance, can see ships more than twenty miles away.

When Sasuke and Itachi's battle ended, Hinata activated her Byakugan and saw Amaterasu's black flames ten kilometers away.

Therefore, since crows can only see a range of a few kilometers, there's no need to argue further.

"There are no more rats."

After confirming that the Rock Hidden Infiltration Team in this area had been completely wiped out, the yellow sand beneath Aoba's feet surged, lifting his body into the air and flying towards the next defense zone.

Standing on the sand mat high in the air, the wind blew the hem of Qingye's clothes.

He looked down at the border of the Land of Fire, which was gradually returning to calm, but his thoughts drifted away.

Without his intervention, the Iwagakure invasion would have ultimately fallen on Minato Namikaze's shoulders.

In the original timeline, it was because Jiraiya couldn't withstand the pressure that he pulled Minato away from the front lines of Kumogakure.

Minato, with the incredible mobility of the Flying Thunder God Technique, almost single-handedly held the entire field in place.

Not only did they hold the Iwagakure defenses, they also managed to hold off the Kumogakure forces.

To be honest, he didn't realize it at first either.

It wasn't until he met Minato recently that he suddenly realized that this was originally supposed to be Minato's exclusive stage.

Yes, even though Aoba took over a third of the defense zone, Jiraiya still couldn't handle it and had to call Minato to do some short-term work for three days.

In just three days, he accomplished twice the amount of work that Aoba would do in half a month.

The main problem is that the original work provides very little description of the Third Shinobi World War. It is mostly scattered in the flashbacks of the main characters, mentioned only briefly. There is almost no detailed description of Minato's specific achievements; it is only mentioned in general terms that "Minato displayed overwhelming fighting power in the Third Shinobi World War."

Because of the lack of information, Aoba was completely unaware that he had stolen some of Minato's credit.

His appearance not only shone brightly on the front lines of Sunagakure, but he also repelled the Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, though he lacked the awe-inspiring feeling of "turning the tide".

"I wonder if this will affect Minato's candidacy for Fourth Hokage —"

Aoba secretly made plans in her heart.

Minato was able to overpower Orochimaru with an absolute advantage after the Third Shinobi World War and become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

What is it relying on?

Of course, it was the only outstanding performance during World War III.

But now?

Minato's achievements were partially taken by him, and he was no longer the most outstanding one.

Orochimaru might also have a chance.

A peculiar thought flashed through Aoba's mind.

Would it have been better if Minato hadn't become Hokage and Orochimaru had become the Fourth Hokage?

To be honest, Aoba really liked Orochimaru; it was an appreciation stemming from their shared background as researchers.

Previously, he lacked the strength and had to avoid Orochimaru. Now, although he might not be able to defeat him, he can still protect himself.

In a world with superhuman powers, there is nothing inherently wrong with pursuing immortality.

The problem is that he told the people around him about immortality.

The last person to do this, telling the ignorant world that the earth is round, was stabbed by the protagonist with a heart-shaped ultimate move.

However, if Orochimaru becomes the Fourth Hokage, Konoha's research funding will definitely be more than enough, and the two might even be able to have in-depth exchanges in certain forbidden techniques.

As for the defection, will those subsequent nonsensical and idiotic actions simply cease to occur?

However, Aoba quickly dismissed the idea.

The main reason Minato was able to become Hokage was the Third Hokage's strong recommendation.

The Third Hokage fundamentally rejected Orochimaru's ideals and chose someone controllable and popular.

Isn't this similar to the Sage of Six Paths choosing a successor for the Ninja Clan?

What's suitable doesn't mean it's right, and the result was a bunch of messy things that followed.

Most importantly, this confirmed one thing for Aoba.

The plot is not immutable.

As long as you have enough strength and the right entry point, even fate will lift your skirt.

Meanwhile, in the western sea area of ​​the Land of Water.

On that large island, which had only recently been conquered by Sunagakure, the atmosphere was somewhat eerie.

The sea breeze howled, carrying with it a strong, salty stench of blood.

Yecang stood on the open ground of the temporary camp, coldly looking at the reinforcements who had just arrived from the Land of Wind.

She received an urgent notice from the Sunagakure Anbu, ordering her to immediately relinquish command and return to the village to accept new mission assignments.

"Lady Yekura, thank you for your hard work."

The leader was a thin, arrogant Sand Village Jonin named Gravel.

He was once one of Rosa's strongest supporters.

Now that Luo Sha has become the Wind Shadow, he has naturally become a capable subordinate.
