I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Yu had been training in the Thunder Gorge for a day and a night.

There's food prepared in the system inventory, so there's no need to worry about starving here.

At this time, Thunderbird, whom they hadn't seen for many days, was also by their side, and the two of them trained together.

Furthermore, with the Thunderbird present, Hoshino Yu will find that he absorbs the natural energy contained in the lightning much faster.

That's because the Thunderbird itself possesses Lightning Release chakra, and its enormous size allows it to attract lightning from time to time.

For the two of them, the lightning was actually a great tonic. Hoshino Yu was not afraid of lightning at all, and Thunderbird had long been used to it and could even regard it as a supplement.

As natural energy slowly flowed into his body, gradually transforming his already powerful physique made even stronger by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Hoshino Yuu closed his eyes, a smile on his face.

After all, in this ninja world, nothing can compare to the thrill of increasing one's power.

If there is anything, it is to increase one's power.

After finishing his morning training, Hoshino Yu immediately exited his elemental form and took out the food he had prepared from his system inventory.

As Hoshino Yu roasted the items one by one over the fire, Thunderbird's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

"What is this?"

"This one?" Hoshino Yu held up a string of three-colored dumplings, wanting Raishan to see them clearly.

Seeing the other person nod slightly, he then replied:

"This is a dessert from Konoha, and it's very popular."

"Is it good?" Lei Shan asked doubtfully.

"It's alright. Although I don't really like sweets, the sweetness level is just right."

Upon hearing Hoshino Yu say this, Raishan immediately had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

After eating too much rich and heavy food, a little dessert is a good thing.

When Hoshino Yu threw the three-colored dumplings into Raisan's mouth, the other swallowed them whole without tasting them.

There was no way around it; Lightning Flash's size was about the same as that of the tailed beast, perhaps only smaller than the fully evolved Nine-Tails. Its size was vastly different from that of the other tailed beasts, so eating something so small naturally didn't taste like much.

Hoshino Yu sometimes likes to joke with it, saying that with such power, what if it gets captured one day and treated like a tailed beast?

Although this is obviously unlikely, since tailed beasts are aggregates of chakra, and the fact that a tailed beast can be sealed inside a human body is equivalent to sealing an enormous mass of chakra inside.

However, Lightning Flash is a purely biological being. Not to mention that its chakra reserves are not as large as those of a tailed beast, its size makes it unlikely that it could be easily stuffed into a human body.

However, in terms of pure strength, Raishan is definitely a Kage-level character.

At least in terms of speed alone, it can face several normal Jonin on its own and easily defeat them.

The man and the bird sat atop the highest peak of Leixia Gorge, chatting idly. After finishing their meal, they resumed their cultivation.

Hoshino Yu was very competent when he was a salted fish, but in reality, he was also a training fanatic.

The general situation is that you either don't practice at all, or you practice like crazy.

He stayed in Leixia Gorge for three days.

Three days is not a long time. The supply wagons from Konoha that were being transported to the front lines took several days to prepare and set off.

As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach." Completing the task within three days, while simultaneously dispatching numerous ninjas for escort, was already a relatively fast pace.

At this moment, Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo each led their own ninja squads towards two different countries.

Sakumo Hatake's team is a specialized force for offensive operations, so they naturally travel light.

Orochimaru and his group were different; they mainly focused on surveying and carried out large-scale work.

Furthermore, because Hoshino Yu went to the Land of Rivers ahead of time, Orochimaru also brought Minato along, since only war can give ninjas the fastest training.

The two groups set off from Konoha in a grand procession, prompting a crowd of civilians to gather at the village entrance to wish them a triumphant return, though most of them secretly wept.

As a ninja, one must fulfill the duties of a ninja.

From middle-aged ninjas in their fifties to the youngest, Minato, they were all basically in this team.

Whether they lived or died on their way there was unknown, and it might be the last time the villagers would ever see them, so naturally they wanted to remember them.

Minato, standing beside Orochimaru, felt the atmosphere was very solemn, which made his face tense.

Orochimaru turned his head and looked over, as if sensing Minato's tension, and chuckled reassuringly:

"Watergate, war is a continuation of politics, and it is inevitable. You can't avoid it, and you can't shake it off."

"The best way is to win this war and return in triumph."

"If you're lucky, you'll learn a lot by coming with me this time. You're different from Yu; he's suited for war, while you're better suited for politics, so your paths are different."

Upon hearing this, Minato looked up at Orochimaru and asked:

"Teacher, I understand."

Orochimaru had mentioned these things to them more than once, so Minato's goal was very clear.

That is, to become the Fifth Hokage.

Because the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was Orochimaru's teacher.

Based on his understanding of his teacher Orochimaru, Minato truly believed that the Fourth Hokage would definitely be Orochimaru.

Now all that's left is to make a name for himself. Just in time for the war to begin, with his military achievements, Orochimaru could very well become the Fourth Hokage when the war ends.

At this stage, Konoha desperately needs the continuation of its young and promising leaders.

Looking at the vast army rushing to the front lines around him, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but think:

"Yu, what are you doing right now? Is the mission going well...?"

......

"Minato, you wouldn't be heading to the front lines with Orochimaru so soon, would you?"

Hoshino Yu looked at the letter that Minato had given him and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The letter was delivered by Orochimaru's summoning snake, and it arrived here about three or four days after Minato sent the letter.

In the original work, Minato was in his fourth year when World War II broke out. He graduated early at the age of ten and became a genin, then joined the war.

But Minato graduated early from his first year with me, and the war timeline has changed. It's only been a few years now?

33 years, Konoha 33 years, almost 34 years, at least three years earlier, it has been changed beyond recognition.

After exchanging a few words with the little white snake in his hand and crushing it into white mist, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Minato, you better not die on the battlefield so easily."

After discussing it with Thunderbird, they got dressed and prepared to complete their B-level mission.

He had been in Leixia for about a week, and based on the normal speed of the raid, the ninja force escorting the supplies should be halfway there.

After I finish my task, I'll probably run into them on the way.

He leaped onto the back of the giant bird, and as the bird spread its wings, the two of them flew together above the clouds, rapidly heading towards the Land of Rain.
