Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 105 The Arrival of the Water Gate

The Land of Earth.

Onoki stared grimly at the intelligence report in his hand; Konoha had also reinforced its troops on the western front.

Among them are likely the Wood Release experimental subjects that are widely known in the ninja world.

Wood Release!

That was a power unique to Hashirama Senju, comparable to, or even surpassing, that of Madara Uchiha.

The power of God!

Konoha has actually recreated this! Is there no justice in this world?

However, intelligence gathered from the Land of Water indicates that the Wood Release test subjects had limited strength and did not reach a level that Onoki could not accept.

This made Onoki breathe a sigh of relief, and he felt even more certain that his decision was correct.

We can't let Konoha continue like this.

That might mean we'll return to the era of Hashirama Senju.

"Huang Tu, how's the Iwa ninja's gathering going? Orochimaru is no pushover; he's probably already figured out our intentions. We need to hurry."

"Father, the mobilization of 10,000 Iwa ninja is no small matter. The logistics required are enormous, and you have also requested that it be kept secret. This is already the fastest we can do."

Huang Tu said aggrievedly, "We already spent a lot of resources mobilizing 10,000 Iwa ninja to try to ambush the Kumo ninja."

As a result, Onoki changed his mind as soon as he said he would, leaving Huangtu with no choice but to redeploy resources.

But let alone the logistics for 10,000 ninjas, even the logistics for 10,000 pigs would take three days to prepare.

"What are you saying?"

Onoki jumped up and smacked Hirotsuchi's head hard, signaling him to watch his words in the future.

Seeing this, Lao Zi couldn't contain his temper any longer. "If you ask me, we should just start fighting. The more time we spend, the more prepared Konoha will be."

Onoki slammed his fist on the table and roared at Rōshi, who had jumped out. "Damn it! Am I the Tsuchikage or are you? Can't you see I'm thinking?"

After scolding Rōshi, Ōnoki fell into deep thought and felt that what Rōshi said made some sense.

"Huang Tu, speed up! It doesn't matter if our concealment is reduced. We need to race against Konoha."

"Also, Old Zi should help Han Ye control the Tailed Beast as soon as possible. You are the person in Iwagakure who has gone the furthest in terms of Jinchuriki. Don't be so proud of yourself."

Onoki knew Rōshi very well and knew how to motivate him, so he subtly praised Rōshi while hurling insults at him.

Old Purple was indeed pleased. "Hmph! You don't need to tell me; I would have shared my experience as a Jinchūriki with Han. Unlike you, who treats your Dust Release as a treasure and never shares it with anyone."

Onoki was so angry that his beard stood on end.

Han remained unresponsive. He had no interest in the war, but as the Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, he had an inescapable duty.

Konoha Camp.

A ninja with bright blond hair arrived here.

"Minato, it's so good that you got here in time."

Shikaku looked on with delight at Minato, who had rushed over, covered in dust.

It's great that we've gained a top-tier fighter before the decisive battle on the western front of Konoha!

"It's Shikaku. You've worked hard these past few days."

Looking at his friend's tired face, Minato couldn't bear it and said...

Shikaku gave a wry smile; he had received far too much intelligence lately.

Gather intelligence, distinguish truth from falsehood, select valuable information, and finally present it to Lord Orochimaru.

Then, adjustments were made according to Lord Orochimaru's orders.

The workload is huge; Shikaku has been working continuously for a long time.

"The impact of the Guyver Armor is somewhat unexpected. There are signs that the Sand Ninja and the Iwa Ninja are joining forces, so we have to be on guard."

"Go find Lord Orochimaru quickly, you have a heavy responsibility this time."

Shikaku vaguely mentioned that the attack on Kannabi Bridge was classified information and could not be revealed in public.

Upon hearing this, Minato nodded, roughly understanding the situation; it was likely a crucial measure to launch a surprise attack on the enemy before the battle.

"Okay, I'll go find Lord Orochimaru right away."

Minato was already used to it; possessing the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was the best candidate to strike important measures behind enemy lines.

Its unparalleled mobility allowed it to succeed at water gates time and again.

Even if you fail temporarily, it doesn't matter. Just use Flying Thunder God Technique to escape the enemy's encirclement and then look for another opportunity.

After all, it's not the theft itself that's scary, but the fact that the thief has his eye on it.

Minato, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, is a master thief.

Minato arrived at Orochimaru's tent. After being informed, Orochimaru's confidant led Minato inside, where he saw Orochimaru processing documents.

When Orochimaru saw Minato arrive, he stopped working on the documents.

"It's Minato. You've arrived just in time. I'll have to trouble you this time too."

As he spoke, Orochimaru handed a scroll to Minato and gestured for his trusted aides to step back.

"Minato, you need to understand that Tsunade will not be going to the front lines of this war."

"That means we'll be missing one of our high-end combatants."

A hint of pity flashed in Minato's eyes. "Hasn't Lady Tsunade come out yet?"

Orochimaru fell silent upon hearing this. He remembered the disciple who followed behind him and always called him "Teacher, Teacher."

"Reality is never perfect; things can't always be smooth sailing, and cracks will always appear somewhere."

"Life is so fragile; it can disappear in the blink of an eye, so we must try our best to live on."

Orochimaru immediately suppressed these distracting thoughts; his most important task now was to lead Konoha to victory.

He then devoted a great deal of time to experiments, and he had already taken a big step toward the immortality of the soul.

There's no going back, and I don't want to turn back.

"Open the scroll and take a look; it contains all the information about your mission."

Upon hearing this, Minato immediately opened the scroll and quickly memorized and understood its contents.

"Kannabi Bridge is an important passage for transporting supplies to Iwagakure. If it is destroyed, it will put a lot of pressure on Iwagakure's logistics."

"This mission is extremely dangerous. The Iwa ninja are continuously transporting supplies to the front lines. The defense of Kannabi Bridge is more stringent than ever before."

"Minato, you possess the Flying Thunder God Technique, so theoretically, this mission poses no danger to you. However, I must remind you that there is no perfect technique in this world."

"Just like the Second Hokage, who was incredibly skilled at using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he still died on the battlefield, so please be careful."

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru. I will definitely complete the mission."

Minato's clean and handsome face was filled with a determined look in his eyes.

"Go ahead and prepare well."

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then said, "Minato, the Guyver Armor has great potential; it can even evolve according to your needs. You can give it a try."

Minato looked surprised. "I will, Lord Orochimaru."
