Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 45 The Sand Ninja Front

The place where the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers meet.

Konoha's camp.

With the arrival of war, all the hidden outposts on this border were transformed into frontline camps.

However, the current situation at the camp is not good.

All that could be heard in the camp were cries of agony.

The camp is divided into two distinct areas in the center.

On the left were rows of neatly arranged stretchers, each carrying a ninja whose face was bruised and who was groaning in pain. On the right were ninjas whose faces were also bruised, but who were not in as much pain; they were simply sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Soon, a ninja who was sitting cross-legged spat out a mouthful of purple blood, and the bruises on his face quickly disappeared.

Hatake Sakumo's figure quickly appeared beside the ninja.

"How is it?"

The ninja opened his eyes, his face deathly pale, but he still endured the discomfort in his body and recounted his condition.

"Basic internal energy techniques can indeed detoxify, but they also come at the cost of losing most of your chakra."

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo's expression relaxed.

The ninja who expelled the toxins also felt that the price was not too high.

It should take a few months to recover.

Since these people exchanged for basic internal energy cultivation techniques, they have rarely experienced a lack of chakra.

It's just a temporary return to the previous state.

The initial inability to use ninjutsu was quite frustrating.

"Lord Sumao, only a small number of people have exchanged for basic internal skills. If this continues, we will be defeated."

A female ninja wearing glasses nearby reminded him.

Hatake Sakumo's face was grave.

"Can't we concoct an antidote for Chiyo's poison from Sunagakure?"

"The other party's toxins are too complex."

The female ninja shook her head.

Ever since they encountered Chiyo from the Sand Village, they have been suffering defeat after defeat.

It was mainly Hatake Sakumo's choice to save the lives of his ninja subordinates.

The entire front line of the River Country has been given away.

The female ninja didn't know how to evaluate it.

Orochimaru, who was jokingly called "Cold Lord" among ninjas, would never have made this choice.

Lost territory will require a much greater price to reclaim.

Now, not only have we lost our base, but most of the camp's fighting force has been poisoned, and if an antidote hasn't been developed yet...

We're not far from falling here.

Right now, they're only holding on temporarily thanks to the ninjas who haven't been poisoned yet, and those who are recovering through basic internal energy cultivation.

Looking at Hatake Sakumo, whose face was expressionless but who was deep in thought.

The female ninja sighed.

"The only ones who can solve the poison in Sunagakure right now are Lady Tsunade in the rear and that genius ninjutsu inventor, Uchiha Kin."

"Lady Tsunade should be able to deal with the poison, and perhaps Kin Uchiha can create a ninjutsu to prevent it."

The female ninja's words made Hatake Sakumo's eyes light up.

"Now notify the village to have Tsunade come and help, and also notify Jiraiya to send Uchiha Kin to assist in the operation."

"yes!"

The female ninja knelt on the ground and agreed.

The next moment, it turned into smoke and disappeared from the spot.

Hatake Sakumo then looked in the direction of Sunagakure.

"What I can lose, I can naturally take back."

Known for his ability to see through people's hearts, Hatake Sakumo naturally understood the female ninja's thoughts.

But for him...

People are more important than land.

The front lines of Sunagakure.

Chiyo, still in her prime, looks at the map of the Land of Rivers that she has cleared, and the routes she has found in the Land of Fire.

Unfortunately, all the routes within the Land of Fire were destroyed by Hatake Sakumo.

Smoke rose up from the side.

Ebizo appeared beside Chiyo.

"Sister, I couldn't stop Orochimaru. A troublesome person appeared on the other side, and Orochimaru has mastered a troublesome ninjutsu."

After Ebizo returned, he also compiled information about Konoha.

The troublesome character is a ninja named Might Guy, who has failed the Chunin Exams for a long time and remains a Genin.

However, he unexpectedly rose to prominence and became a troublesome figure for even him.

As for Orochimaru's techniques, according to his later analysis...

It shouldn't be a new clone technique, otherwise Orochimaru wouldn't be the only one in Konoha who knows it.

It must be some kind of ninjutsu that allows the clones to continue fighting.

Chiyo rubbed her temples.

"The bad news just keeps coming."

She originally intended to use poison to cripple eighty percent of Konoha's power.

Unfortunately, while Konoha's antidote couldn't cure her poison, it did allow them to survive.

Some people can also eliminate toxins from their bodies.

The resistance on the front lines in Konoha has not diminished much, and the only hope for a breakthrough, the Land of Rain, has been blocked by Konoha.

The Third Kazekage now needs to be wary of Iwagakure.

The Sand Village also couldn't spare any extra resources.

Konoha was in a crisis, and Sunagakure wasn't much better off.

"Let's transfer some of our forces here first, and the power of the Rain Country can be consolidated."

Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo are both dangerous individuals.

The situation in the Land of Rain is too complicated. It's not just about Iwagakure. There's also the defensive power of the Land of Rain. It seems that Amegakure has produced some very powerful people.

This area still holds an advantage.

Let's start by breaking through here.

The Iwagakure front.

A small squad of Iwa ninjas were rapidly advancing through the forest.

This is a Chunin squad.

The three acted swiftly.

Their main objective was to bypass the front lines and investigate Konoha's supply lines.

Sudden.

Minato Namikaze attacked, wielding a kunai.

The three quickly separated, causing Minato Namikaze to miss his target.

However, people blocked the way from the other two directions as well.

The seventh squad intercepted the three men using a triangular formation.

"I'm sorry, this road is closed."

Jin smiled and swung his long sword.

Kushina blocked another route with a blank expression.

"Who told you to insist on charging our defenses?"

"It's a pity you have to die here."

The three of them quickly rushed towards the three Iwa ninja.

The battle was decided very quickly.

Jin swung his long sword, and drops of blood slid off the blade.

The three of them now bear the marks of war.

However, since stepping onto the battlefield, Kushina has become less lively than before.

"How long are we supposed to stay here?"

Jin leaned against the tree, watching the leaves fall.

They've been waiting here for many days, mainly to catch any fish that have already escaped their net.

The fighting ahead was even fiercer.

"It will be over when the war is over."

At this point, Minato Namikaze looked bewildered.

As the war progressed, both he and Kushina were affected by it.

"It's over."

Jin looked up at the sky, remembering that the Second World War in the Naruto world lasted for several years before it ended.

This is just the beginning.

The three of them fell silent, and the playful banter they used to share was gone.

The three people caught in the midst of war each had different thoughts.

Just as the three of them fell silent.

A cloud of smoke suddenly rose, and a man wearing an ANBU mask appeared.

He was holding a scroll in his hand.

"Breaking order: Uchiha Kin is to be transferred to the front lines of Sunagakure immediately."
