Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 153 We are a legitimate organization, how could we engage in such banditry?

"Yes, Father."

Huang Tu immediately replied, "The Hidden Cloud Village has not reinforced our defenses recently; instead, they have been quietly gathering their main force towards the Leaf Village."

The Sand Village, under the banner of revenge, set off northward—

The Hidden Cloud Village secretly amassed its forces and approached Konoha.

Konoha recently withdrew its defenses from the Land of Rivers.

All the information quickly came together in Onoki's mind.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying idea exploded in Onoki's mind like a bolt of lightning!

'

Onoki gasped, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

"That Rasa is a madman! He's not here for us at all! He's using the pretext of attacking us to launch an attack on the Land of Fire!"

""

Huang Tu: "Father, you mean...?"

Onoki closed his eyes and nodded heavily. "That's right, Sunagakure and Kumogakure have joined forces!"

into the night.

The Land of Grass, Konoha's frontline camp.

Aoba stretched her stiff shoulders and dragged her tired body back to her private tent.

"That bastard Jiraiya, he really treats me like a beast of burden—"

As soon as she lay down, Qingye couldn't help but rub her temples and complain.

Ever since he perfectly resolved the last Iwagakure invasion incident with a set of "information warfare" tactics, Jiraiya's gaze towards him has been strange after reviewing the entire tactical operation.

If Aoba hadn't been absolutely certain that Jiraiya was only attracted to women, he would have suspected that the guy had become gay.

However, I feel like I've seen that look somewhere before.

At first, they would just occasionally dump some miscellaneous tasks on him, euphemistically calling it "training his abilities."

Later, things escalated, with everything from tactical deployment, patrol arrangements, and material allocation to coordination and communication among the frontline squads all being thrown at them at once.

In the end, he even became a hands-off boss, hiding somewhere to secretly drink alcohol. When he was caught a few times, he would justify himself by saying things like, "Inspiration is needed for research, and relaxation is needed for inspiration."

He even had the nerve to spout nonsense like "young people should take on more responsibility."

Although he complained, Aoba knew very well that Jiraiya was not simply being lazy.

This is a conscious effort to nurture him.

Having strength is one thing, but in the ninja world, strength alone is far from enough.

If a Jonin only knows how to fight and kill, he is at best a high-level tool.

By handling these tedious tasks, Aoba was able to constantly come into contact with people at all levels, thus building his own network of relationships and expanding his influence.

As long as his influence is great enough, the village's leaders will have to take his opinions into account when making certain decisions. Even a cunning old fox like Danzo would have to think twice before he openly targets him again.

For example, even when they reached the level of the Three Legendary Sannin, Tsunade simply left the village, and Koharu would only chirp a few words behind her back. Danzo also approached Orochimaru through cooperation, not by force.

With Aoba's current achievements, as long as he doesn't betray the village and survives until the end of the Third Shinobi World War, he can also slam his fist on the table in front of Danzo.

It must be said that Konoha's atmosphere is indeed much better than other ninja villages when it comes to nurturing the next generation.

In comparison, the actions of the other ninja villages were nothing short of a disaster.

Because Rasa of Sunagakure feared that Pakura's reputation threatened his position as Kazekage, he sold her to Kirigakure as a bargaining chip without hesitation.

Hanzo of Amegakure, fearing the influence of Akatsuki, actually joined forces with an external enemy (Danzo) to eliminate the power of his own village.

Including the current fog-shrouded situation.

As the Mist Village's operations on the front lines become more frequent, some internal information about the Blood Mist Village inevitably begins to leak out.

The most shocking story is that a freshman from Kirigakure killed all the other students in his graduating class during the graduation exam!

Not only was this candidate unharmed, but he also earned the nickname "Ghost Man".

What kind of brain circuits are these?

Then you look back at Konoha. Although there were quite a few amazing plays, the overall environment was still pretty good.

At least Aoba is looking at it from the perspective of an ordinary person.

Whether it was Danzo conscripting men or not, it was all about exploiting the ninja clans. The Uchiha clan, in particular, was the undisputed number one powerhouse in Konoha. Even the Hyuga clan, which was later criticized by many netizens as a scapegoat, was still the number one powerhouse after the Uchiha.

If you were an ordinary civilian genin, and a young master from a wealthy family died, even if it was from a branch family, you could avoid war and not have to go to the battlefield, regardless of whether the war would actually happen. You should know that the Hyuga main family doesn't have to go to the battlefield.

Don't you think it was worth dying for?

(To clarify, this is not an attempt to whitewash the third generation, but rather to offer a different perspective. It's important to consider things from multiple angles to gain unique insights.)

Just as his thoughts were drifting away, he suddenly heard a faint rustling sound.

A palm-sized, blue chameleon crawled out from under the pillow; it was a blue lizard.

"Lord Aoba, a message has come from Ao."

"It's a blue lizard," the voice said in a low voice.

Aoba's eyes lit up, and all her complicated thoughts vanished instantly.

After waiting for so long, there's finally a response.

He immediately sat up and quickly retrieved the White Zetsu's body from the sealing scroll.

He quickly formed hand seals.

"Spiritualization Technique!"

With a hum, a semi-transparent spirit silently detached from Qingye's body and precisely entered Bai Jue's body.

Her pale eyes snapped open, and Aoba's consciousness had completely taken over the body.

"The Art of the Mayfly"

The white figure slowly sank into the ground and disappeared silently into the tent.

Inside the tent, after the spirit left, Aoba's physical body, under the control of the chip, lay back on the cot, closed her eyes, and entered a "resting" state.

The border of the Land of Wind.

In a secluded rock formation.

As a pale face slowly rose from the ground.

Yecang subconsciously drew a kunai, and several scorching fireballs instantly appeared and spun around him.

"it's me."

A smile squeezed out from Bai Jue's eerie face.

-

To be honest, even though I knew it was Aoba, I still felt uncomfortable seeing that strange face smiling at me.

"—Could you please change my face first?"

Ye Cang frowned.

Aoba also felt that having a White Zetsu's face was indeed a bit strange, and then his white skin quickly changed.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into the familiar appearance of Yecang.

"alright."

Yekura put away her kunai and glanced at Aoba after her transformation. "It's that ability again."

"How did you do that?"

This was the second time she had seen Qingye transform in front of him. The first time, he transformed into her appearance, and the second time, he transformed into himself. There was no flaw in his transformation, and no trace of the transformation technique could be seen at all.

If someone were to approach her in the name of someone she knew, that would be absolutely terrifying!

Aoba smiled and didn't hide anything, after all, Yecang was now one of their own.

"This thing is called a White Zetsu."

Aoba pointed to himself, "It looks exactly like what you just saw, that's what this thing originally looked like."

"You mean this thing is actually alive?"

Yekura narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Smart, not bad. White Zetsu are artificially created biological weapons. They have strong stealth capabilities and are hidden in various corners of the ninja world. I captured them by chance and turned them into substitute puppets controlled by the Spirit Transformation Technique."

"Spiritualization technique? Is it the one I know?"

"Yes, that's it."

Aoba nodded. During the Second Shinobi World War, Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique had caused considerable trouble for Sunagakure.

If someone hadn't leaked the secret, exposing the weakness of the Soul-Severing Technique to Sunagakure and directly attacking the Soul-Severing Technique's true form, Sunagakure might have suffered even greater losses in World War II.

Ye Cang was also very surprised to hear this, not expecting that Aoba had mastered such a secret technique.

"White Zetsu can absorb the chakra of others and transform into their appearance. Furthermore, White Zetsu possesses exceptional stealth abilities, allowing them to move rapidly underground. I suspect that in the shadows of the ninja world, there exists some hidden force unknown to us, secretly plotting something, and these white creatures are likely products of that force."

Although Aoba didn't mention the Divine Tree or the Ten-Tails, and only revealed part of the information about White Zetsu, even with just a small amount of information, Yekura was secretly astonished.

For Yekura at this point, knowing too much is not beneficial.

Yecang remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not ask any further questions.

She wasn't one to pry into things. Since she had chosen this path, Number One would naturally tell her what she needed to know, and asking about things she shouldn't would only cause her unnecessary trouble.

"Come on, follow me."

Ye Cang turned around and led Qingye through a pile of jagged rocks to a high platform with a wide view.

Yekura pointed to a campsite below, dimly lit by a campfire, and said, "The clues to the Grell Stone you're looking for are in that campsite."

Aoba's gaze swept over the camp.

About twenty tents were scattered in a dry river valley, with several campfires burning in the middle. Livestock and camels were tethered around the perimeter, making it look like an ordinary desert caravan.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He didn't ask how Yekura found it.

He didn't give Ye Cang many clues at the time, only some vague directional information.

It took a lot of effort to find it after so long.

"What do we do next?"

Ye Cang asked, "Should we just go down and rob it?"

"We are a legitimate organization, how could we engage in such banditry?"

Aoba waved his hand righteously, then leaped into the air and quickly approached the camp.

Ye Cang pursed his lips and followed suit.

The two men stealthily crept to the edge of the camp.

Qingye slowly raised her hands and began to form hand seals.

"The Illusion Techniques of Zi, Chou, Shen, and Si – Nirvana Abode Techniques."

As if an invisible wind swept across the sky, countless white feathers drifted down like snowflakes.

These feathers are weightless, silent, and almost invisible to the naked eye.

But as the white feather landed, the eyes of the sentries who were patrolling the camp suddenly became unfocused, and their bodies swayed involuntarily.

puff.

puff.

One by one they fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

The people inside the tent were no exception; even the livestock tied to the stakes lay down quietly.

Within moments, the entire camp fell into a deathly silence.
