Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 202 The Wall of Ghostly Poison - Bypass

The Ning Organization is not some shady organization that you can join whenever you want.

However, because Konoha Village has been promoting the Will of Fire for many years, Konoha ninjas have maintained a high level of morality, so there are still many people who meet the standards.

There is also a downside: the organization doesn't value family connections, only ability.

The clan leader and all members of the clan have joined the organization, but if a member is more capable, they may be promoted faster.

In that case, the clan members will become leaders, while the clan chief will become a subordinate.

However, this situation is unlikely to occur, because the head of a clan is usually the most capable person, and with the support of a family, their promotion speed is always faster than that of a clan member.

In addition, the Ning organization stipulates that everyone is equal, love is free, vigilante justice is prohibited, and private property is sacred and inviolable.

The ban on vigilante justice is clearly aimed at the Okihyu clan. From now on, the main family will not only be unable to punish branch families, but they will not even be able to beat caged birds, because this would be a restriction on personal freedom.

Furthermore, the main family can no longer arbitrarily choose branch families to serve as guards for their daughters, unless they are paid a salary.

The various ninja clans are no longer allowed to arrange marriages among their members in private, unless both parties agree, because love is a matter of freedom.

The inviolability of private property has a significant impact on many families, because many family members have to hand over the money they earn when they go out to carry out missions!

But then I thought, since ninjas won't be making a living from missions anymore, this point doesn't really matter.

What they didn't realize was that the emergence of these regulations actually strengthened the role of the individual and weakened the role of the clan, thereby undermining the clan system.

Especially for clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga, which have bloodline limits, once the door to free love is opened, the bloodline can be diluted within two or three generations.

Surely some people saw this, but faced with the temptation of unifying the world and the glory of supporting a new emperor, they wisely chose to remain silent.

The meeting lasted an extremely long time, from morning to noon, and then into the afternoon.

After the meeting, all the major ninja clans sprang into action, with those who had manpower contributing manpower and those with money not having to contribute financially.

A large number of Chunin and Genin were gathered together and, after a short period of training, were assigned to schools across the country to serve as ninjutsu instructors.

All school-aged children were sent to school, and the situation of homeschooling as it had been during Hiruzen Sarutobi's time was no longer present.

All eligible but already graduated genin were recalled for retraining, including Might Guy, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and Asuma Sarutobi.

Because they are only 9 years old, they will have to study for another 4 years before they can graduate after the new policy is implemented.

If you have good grades, you can continue your education.

Ning Yuan remembered that Nohara Rin had excellent grades, while Obito's grades were very poor.

After that, it's very likely that Obito will graduate from junior high school and go out to find a job, while Rin Nohara will finish junior high school, go to high school, go to university, and then take the doctoral entrance exam.

Ten years later, when they met again, one was working on a construction site, and the other had become a scientist.

"We actually have to go back to school for re-education?" Sure enough, Obito was dumbfounded when he heard Kakashi's words.

Asuma and Rin Nohara were also somewhat bewildered. It's worth mentioning that the one who committed the crime was Hiruzen Sarutobi, while Asuma simply moved out of the Sarutobi family home and was given a new place to live by the village.

Now he and his mother depend on each other for survival. Because Sarutobi Biwako is a medical ninja, they are not short of money. However, Sarutobi Biwako is getting old after all, and Asuma is thinking about going on missions as soon as possible to earn money to help support the family!

"That's the village's rule!" Kakashi nodded, but he was the one who was happy because he had long since given up on leading the team.

"Go back to school, what about the mission? Our family really needs money!" Asma said.

"You won't have any money even if you don't go back to school!" Kakashi shrugged. "There are no more missions for you guys right now, so even if you stay in my team, you still won't get any income. But if your family is really struggling financially, you could apply for a student loan!"

Asma blushed. His family's financial difficulties were relative to before. They used to have ten dishes per meal, but now they only had four.

But compared to truly impoverished students, these conditions are practically considered well-off.

"Are we the only ones going back to school? Kakashi, you're not old enough!" Obito asked. Why is it that only we need to receive re-education, and you don't?

Kakashi shrugged: "Of course I don't need it. I graduated from junior high three years ago!"

"Damn connections!" Obito cursed. "If I had joined the organization sooner, I would have graduated long ago!"

Kakashi, huh? With your level of learning?

"By the way, what about Ning Yuan?" Obito asked. "Does he need further education?"

Obito already knew that the organization was founded by Ning Yuan, and that the re-education policy was also proposed by Ning Yuan.

Since Ning Yuan is the one who proposed the policy, there's no reason for him not to implement it. He's only 9 years old this year!

"What do you think?" Kakashi asked with a smile.

"Alright!" Obito was speechless; he already knew without even asking.

How can there be such a twisted person in this world? We're all in school, and we're struggling to even graduate, while you've already started to unify the world?

I don't know if I'll be able to fight the final battle before graduation. I just hope their unification will be slow!

"Hurry up, I have things to do after I take you back!" Kakashi urged.

"What do you want?" Obito asked.

"I'm going to unify the world!" Kakashi laughed.

"Damn it! I want to conquer the world too!"

After taking the three to the school, which had been renamed Konoha First Elementary School, and registering them, Kakashi hurried to the Ninja Uniform Department of the Hokage's office building. He first handed over his headband and ninja file, and then underwent a strength test and a written exam. Finally, he transformed from a Jonin into a student of the Ning Organization's Guiyi Military Academy.

That's right. Although Kakashi doesn't need to undergo re-education, he's also too old to go to the battlefield. For these kinds of genius ninjas, Ning Yuan has arranged a good place for them: a military academy.

However, given Kakashi's talent, he could probably learn in two or three months what a normal person would take three or four years to learn.

By then, even if he was very young, he could go to the battlefield.

As for Ningyuan and Xirihong?

They are already on the front lines.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers is where the ninja armies stand in confrontation. This place was originally two border trading cities, but due to two years of war, there are no ordinary people living in the city now. Only occasional caravans come to transport some supplies.

The city where Konoha is stationed is called Sandui, with 4200 troops stationed there.

The camp where Sunagakure is stationed is called Sand Castle, with 7600 troops stationed there.

"Two years ago, our army swept through the land and drove the Sand Village ninjas out of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers. However, the Hokage strictly ordered the Konoha ninjas not to invade the Sand Village, so we set up camp here!" Minato explained the current situation to Ning Yuan.

Actually, it was for the ninjas from various clans who came with Ning Yuan, as Ning Yuan was very familiar with the situation here.

"Sunagakure is no match for us on the front lines, so they've planted traps and raised poisonous creatures all over the desert. We've launched a few small-scale attacks, but they haven't been very effective. If we launch a large-scale attack, Sunagakure will run away, and then they'll come back as soon as we leave! They're like a piece of chewing gum, impossible to kill or shake off!"

"Even the Flying Thunder God Technique isn't working?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Once I use Flying Thunder God Technique, they release poison mist. They have the antidote, but I don't. After fighting them twice, I'm out of options!" Minato said.

Is there really no other way?

That's not necessarily true. As long as a large force follows behind the water gate, disperses and drives away the poisonous fog and insects, and then proceeds step by step, it's not impossible to fight.

But this requires the Hokage's full support.

But what kind of person is Hiruzen Sarutobi? He was not willing to let Minato achieve greater merit, so the supplies to the front line were always kept at a level that was more than enough to defend the city but not enough to attack.

Without Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders, Minato would not receive support from other ninjas on the front lines. No matter how powerful he was, the results he could achieve fighting alone would be extremely limited!

"An incompetent general can ruin an entire army!" Nara Shikaku said irritably. "That one Sarutobi Hiruzen has wasted so many opportunities. A battle that could have been over in a month has been dragged on for two years! Now, we can't even launch an attack!"

Nara Shikaku is 19 years old this year. If he hadn't spent so much time on the battlefield, he would have succeeded to the position of head of the clan long ago, just like Hyuga Hiashi!

As a strategist, he understood perfectly well where the blame lay for the intense conflict, but since Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage before, he couldn't voice his opinions.

Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi has become a sinner, we have to give him a good dressing down.

And incidentally, to curry favor with the organization's leader.

Actually, there was also Jiraiya in the main tent, and Nara Shikaku didn't give him any face either.

As the commander-in-chief of the front lines, you bear half the responsibility for this humiliating defeat!

Why don't you dare to fight the Hokage?

Jiraiya was speechless but did not refute. He was somewhat bewildered that his teacher had gone from a respected Hokage to a criminal, and the fact that his two companions had joined that organization but didn't include him made him feel abandoned.

His feelings are complicated right now, far less carefree than in the original work.

But nobody cared what a middle-aged man was thinking; everyone was watching Ning Yuan.

What changes can this genius, who started plotting to become Hokage at the age of five and established his rule in the Land of Fire at the age of nine, bring to the front lines?

They weren't in Konoha Village, hadn't witnessed Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, and didn't have a deep understanding of Ning Yuan's abilities, so they still had some doubts about him.

To win their respect, we must win this battle.

Ning Yuan looked at the map in the large tent. The contents on it were extremely simple: two cities, a desert as the boundary, and then a dense array of × and ○ symbols.

There is no such thing as siege warfare in the ninja world, because city walls are practically non-existent for ninjas; even a low-ranking ninja can climb them as easily as walking on flat ground.

The battles between ninjas are more like those in RTS games, where players fight for control of territory.

Combat objective: Protect our own lines while breaking through the enemy's defenses.

Using the battlefield as the boundary, on a map covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers in radius, both sides will randomly send out small teams to patrol a certain location.

If you find the enemy, eliminate them. If you don't find the enemy, go back to rest and regroup before going out on patrol again.

This tactic may seem boring, but it is actually quite useful because ninjas have immense destructive power and strong stealth capabilities.

If even one ninja slips through, he could infiltrate the enemy country and, with just a kunai, slaughter an entire town!

Clearly, this tactic is extremely passive against the Land of Fire.

Because the towns in the Land of Fire have a large population and high value, while the towns in the Land of Wind have a small population and low value; the Land of Fire has many towns, while the Land of Wind has few towns.

Even if the command in Sunagakure is a little poor and one or two teams slip through, it doesn't matter. These people might not even be able to find a town in the vast desert, and they might even be bitten to death by poisonous insects.

But what if Konoha dares to let even one Sand Village ninja slip through?

Don't forget, in order to fight against Minato, every Sand Village ninja mastered the art of using poison!

"The war against Sunagakure cannot be delayed; it must be resolved quickly!" Ning Yuan said after studying the map for a while.

"But how can we finish this quickly?" Nara Shikaku asked. "The Sand Village's defenses stretch for dozens of kilometers, riddled with traps and poisons. The Sand Village ninja call it the 'Wall of Demon Poison,' making it difficult for us to even advance. Furthermore, the Sand Village has a large number of puppets on their side; if our attack falters, we'll be bogged down by them."

What? You're asking where the person is?

To avoid being cut by the Flying Thunder God Technique, they are all buried in the sand and never show themselves!

That guy named Garuiro also invented a ninjutsu called Sand Eye, which allows him to observe the movements on the ground even when he's hidden underground.

"It's simple. Their poison wall is powerful; we'll just go around it!" Ning Yuan pointed to a location 60 kilometers away: "I'll personally lead my elite troops to break through from here and head straight for Sunagakure!"

"However, Sunagakure's defenses are certainly not weak. If we send too few people, we won't be able to break through. If we send too many people, our defenses will be in trouble. If we continue to hold out, and their main force returns to defend, our main force might even be in danger of being captured!" Nara Shikaku said with a worried expression.

"No problem!" Ning Yuan pointed to several points along the entire defensive line: "A 60-kilometer front, with a Flying Thunder God technique coordinate every 3 kilometers, and two Jonin squads assigned to each, that's a total of 20 points and 120 Jonin!"

"The Sand Village ninjas are good at defense but not offense. If their 121 men can hold out for two days, our main force can take over the Sand Village!"

As for why Sunagakure has strong defenses?

Ning Yuan asked, "Isn't Deidara wandering around Sunagakure Village?"

This dilapidated village doesn't even have a barrier. Now that Chiyo, Ebizo, Saka, and Ruri are all on the front lines, the defenses in the rear are even more vulnerable.

Seeing that many people still looked worried, Ning Yuan became a little impatient. "Minato can defend four lines by himself, so there's only one line now. It'll be a piece of cake."

"Hyuga Hizashi, Yamanaka Inoichi, each of you choose 20 ninjas from your own clans to assist these ninjas in defense! Jiraiya-senpai, provide backup!"

The Hyuga clan will use it for reconnaissance, the Yamanaka clan for communications, and with Jiraiya providing support, there shouldn't be any problems!

Seeing that they seemed to have gained some confidence, Ning Yuan nodded: "That's settled then. Nara Shikaku, select the fastest Jonin and Chunin; we'll set off tonight!"

"So fast?" Nara Shikaku was shocked.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war!"
