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

Chapter 216 Advance of the Battlefront - The World Was Astonished

Explosive tags, kunai, shuriken, and ninja tool pouches were thrown one by one into the craters created by the explosive tags around the ninja.

Then all the Iwa ninja carefully raised their hands and came to an open space.

Kurenai Yuhi was actually quite calm, but Iwagakure was very nervous.

Because ninjas are different from ordinary people. Ordinary people generally have little fighting power once they put down their weapons.

But ninjas still have chakra, so even if they are unarmed, they still have the destructive power to wipe out an entire village.

Therefore, in wars between ninjas, there is generally no situation where the entire group surrenders. The victors do not believe that the losers will not resist, and the defeated do not believe that the victors will not finish off the defeated.

Even Hu Tuo might have considered the idea of ​​immediately attacking and capturing the little girl if she came down.

But Kurenai Yuhi remained in the sky, showing no intention of coming down, so Toraku gave up his thoughts of resistance. Then, watching the large force of Konoha approach, he wondered how the people of Konoha would deal with him.

On Konoha's side, someone actually pulled out tables, chairs, benches, and a stack of white paper from a storage scroll, while someone else pulled out more than ten standing lamps, managing to set up a temporary office there.

Tiger was speechless and exclaimed, "You use your precious storage scrolls to store this?"

"We have tons of big storage scrolls, what business is it of ours what we put in them!" the ninja said irritably. "Everyone line up and come over one by one to register. The one who spoke, you start!"

Looking at the formation of the Konoha ninjas, Hu Tuo saw three people standing at the front responsible for registration, while the rest of the main force was still seven or eight meters away from them.

The Iwagakure troops were more than 20 meters away from the three people, a distance that ensured they couldn't reach them even if they suddenly attacked.

Since registration is done one by one, if he suddenly attacks, it would be one against three.

Among these three people, besides the one in charge of registration, there was also a white-haired boy wearing a mask, who was none other than Kakashi, the genius ninja of Konoha.

The other one, although I don't know his name, I can tell from his Byakugan that he comes from the Hyuga clan.

Kakashi and Hyuga alone are enough to suppress any one of their ninjas!

"They really thought of everything!" Hu Tuo turned his head to look at the girl in the sky again, admiring the meticulousness of the Konoha ninjas while wondering if they were really Konoha ninjas.

We've dealt with each other before, how come you've suddenly become so professional!

He went to the registration table, and then the ninja suddenly attacked, slashing him several times.

Tiger immediately realized that his chakra could not flow!

"You?" Hu Tuo turned his head angrily.

"What?" Na Rixiang said coldly, "You want to resist? Don't forget, you're a prisoner now!"

Hu Tuo suppressed his anger. He might have had some ability to resist just now, but after those few taps, he was completely powerless.

However, this person's hand speed is so fast, I didn't even have time to react!

And this is the Gentle Fist style of the Hyuga clan? This is the first time I've seen pressure point techniques used like this; it's truly impressive.

Having his chakra immobilized meant he would be completely at the mercy of others from now on. It was too late to back out now, so Tiger could only obediently begin the registration process.

"Name?"

"Tiger Trail!"

"gender!"

"Is that even a question?"

"Just answer the question!"

"Ahem, man!"

"Job level?"

"What job level?"

"So, are you a Jonin, Chunin, or Genin?"

"Elite Jonin!" Tiger proudly declared.

He discovered that the information he had recorded was actually a pre-printed form with a line of large characters on it: Iwagakure Prisoner Registration Form.

What do you mean? The battle hasn't even started yet, and you already know that someone in our village will surrender?

"Position?"

"Explosion Release Squad, Captain!"

I expected to hear a chorus of shock, but the ninja in charge of registration simply nodded and wrote it down.

Could it be that they are unaware of the formidable reputation of Explosion Release?

That should be the case. Judging from the age of this ninja, he is very young, so it's normal that he hasn't heard of our reputation.

Before long, his information was registered, and two other ninjas led him to another open space.

Then Kakashi followed.

"What do you plan to do with us?" Even with Hiruzen Sarutobi as his backer, Toraku was still a little flustered. What if Kakashi was a hothead and insisted on killing them?

"You'll be sent to a war criminal management center for reformation!" Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Kotaku immediately stood up: "Reformation?"

Don't think that only Konoha has human experimentation; Iwagakure does it too. As the captain of the Explosion Release Squad and a high-ranking member of Iwagakure, Tora-taku has naturally heard about it.

"Don't be nervous, it's not the kind of reformation you're imagining. It's just going to give you a lesson to understand the dangers of war, and then make you love peace!"

Hu Tuo was speechless: "You were the ones who started the war, how come I'm the one who doesn't love peace?"

"Because we waged war for peace!" Kakashi stated matter-of-factly. "And your resistance against us is, of course, a rejection of peace!"

"What kind of logic is this!" Tiger was speechless. "We're living peacefully in the Land of Earth, and suddenly you want to attack us, and you tell me it's for peace? Are all Konoha ninjas this unreasonable?"

The Land of Earth has not yet launched a war against Konoha. From this perspective, Kakashi really can't argue with Kotaro.

However, he had already joined the Ning organization long ago, and in the past few years he had not only increased his strength, but his theoretical level was also among the best.

After all, he's a top student.

"Your Iwagakure village has been expanding ninja training, increasing the number of ninja troops, and raising military spending year after year. You have more ninjas than anyone else in the world. Don't tell me you recruit so many ninjas because you have too many missions to complete!" Kakashi said.

Hu Tuo's voice faltered.

"But we didn't start a war, did we?" he replied, still stubbornly refusing to speak.

Kakashi just chuckled: "You say you didn't start a war, then what about the invasion of the Bird Country two years ago?"

"Oh, this..." Hu Tuo was speechless.

The invasion two years ago was naturally an attack by Iwagakure against Sunagakure.

The Sand Village lost its Kazekage, and the whole village is in a state of distress. Your Iwagakure Village suddenly sends troops. Isn't this taking advantage of their misfortune?

"We invaded the Land of Birds, so what does that have to do with Konoha?"

Kakashi shook his head: "Now I represent not Konoha, but the Ning Organization. Sunagakure has now joined the Ning Organization, so your attack on Sunagakure is naturally an attack on the organization. What's wrong with us launching a counterattack?"

Tiger Trails: "."

"That's all I have to say for now. When we get to the war criminal management center, someone will continue the discussion!" Kakashi said, then turned to leave.

"I have another question!" Hu Tuo quickly raised his hand.

"If it's about war and peace, then there's no need to ask!" Kakashi said.

"No, no!" Hu Tuo asked, "I just want to know how we lost, who was that girl, and how many explosive tags you were carrying?"

Kakashi was taken aback, then chuckled, "According to the Ning Organization's logistics management regulations, the standard equipment for each newly transferred soldier is 10 shuriken, 3 kunai, and 300 explosive tags!"

"Three hundred?" Hu Tuo's eyes widened. So many!

No wonder you can't use them all up. Your three hundred people have far more explosive tags than our one thousand. Isn't it normal for you to lose?

"As for the one above, she is one of the founders of the Ning Organization and also the leader's wife!" Kakashi looked up at the sky with a look of reverence, clearly not revering Kurenai Yuhi.

Hu Tuo fell into deep thought. He didn't know how old the founder of the Ning organization was, but he should at least be an adult!

The one above looks like he might not even be 12 years old!

So, the founder of this Ning organization likes little girls?

"This Ning organization has already unified Konoha and Sunagakure, and its future strength will undoubtedly be the strongest in the ninja world. Our Iwagakure might even have to rely on them. If we could curry favor with them..."

Hu Tuo recalled the cutest little girl in the village, then shook his head.

The little girls in the Land of Earth are certainly not ugly or deformed. After all, even a place like Sunagakure can produce beauties like Yekura, and Iwagakure is no exception.

But compared to Kurenai Yuhi, the difference is quite significant.

Forget it, these are things the Tsuchikage should consider. I'm just a prisoner, why should I think about so much?

"Oh, right!" Kakashi turned back before leaving, "If any of you are worried about your families, you can write them a letter telling them about your situation. We'll pass it on!"

"Okay!" Hu Tuo nodded. Right now, all he could think about was life after surrendering and the Ning organization. Kakashi's words just flashed through his mind before he forgot about them.

With the first battle won by Iwagakure, Kakashi arranged for the Konoha ninja to set up camp while contacting personnel in the rear to receive the prisoners.

It is expected that the receiving personnel will be able to arrive early the next morning. After all, there are many prisoners in Kusagakure Village, and the Land of Grass has been brought under the control of the Ning Organization. It is also located in the center of several countries, so the Ning Organization simply built the war criminal management center here.

The advance from Iwagakure is progressing rapidly, and the three armies from the Land of Rain are not lagging behind either.

In terms of individual combat strength, the ninjas of Konoha and Sunagakure still have the advantage, after all, they have better ninja talent.

However, when it comes to large-scale combat capabilities, the ninja army of the Land of Rain has the advantage.

The reason is simple: the adaptation was accepted early.

The Land of Rain had already undergone reorganization three years ago, and not only did it receive various formal training, but its weaponry and equipment were also completely different from the newly formed ninja army.

They were issued firearms and cannons!

It's not that the Ning organization favors one over the other. While weapons like firearms and cannons are simple to use, they still require a period of training to become combat effective. However, Sunagakure and Konoha haven't had enough time for such training.

Rather than letting them waste bullets on the battlefield, it's better to give them familiar weapons to use, such as enough detonators.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi's downfall, the Amegakure Ninja Army was officially renamed the Guining Army Central Field Army, consisting of three armies and six divisions, with 10,000 men per division, for a total of 60,000 men!

The commander of the First Army was Nagato, the commander of the Second Army was Konan, and the commander of the Third Army was Yahiko.

It's not that Ning's organization is nepotistic; these three people are indeed talented, quick learners, and strong in individual combat, so it's only natural that they stand out.

Even before taking action against Hiruzen Sarutobi, Ning Yuan had already issued orders for the Second and Third Armies to enter the Land of Fire and then move to the front lines of the battlefield. Once Hiruzen Sarutobi was overthrown, the war would begin immediately.

Nagato led the First Army to attack Takigakure, where there is a village called Takigakure. In its early years, it was a very powerful village, but it declined after an internal strife.

Although there was still a Jinchūriki, the Seven-Tails was not good at fighting to begin with, and when it faced Nagato, who had been taught techniques by Ning Yuan, it was naturally no match for him.

Once Takigakure is secured, the entire country will be under our control.

Konan led the Third Army to attack the Land of Iron, a country with a group of samurai whose strength was not weak in the ninja world.

However, when facing the Third Army, it was a clash of cold weapons against hot weapons. Not only was the weapon range of the samurai completely outmatched, but in terms of individual combat ability, the samurai were no match for the ninjas.

Top-tier samurai like Mifune are ultimately a minority; the combat strength of the vast majority of samurai hovers between that of genin and chunin.

Yahiko attacked the Land of Frost, which is located between the Land of Iron and the Land of Waterfall, as well as between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, serving as a buffer state between the two.

This country had no ninjas at all. Yahiko led his troops directly into the capital, captured the daimyo, and thus the country was taken over.

After the three kingdoms were established, the three armies did not stop their offensive. Instead, one army went south while the other three went north, eventually meeting up in the Frost Kingdom.

Their goal was clear: the Land of Lightning ahead.

Minato broke through the Iwagakure defenses and entered the Land of Earth; Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan's three armies conquered three small countries; and Kakashi conquered the Land of Grass—all within a single day.

In the afternoon, the Shuimen Army and the Huangtu Army clashed head-on, and the Huangtu Army was defeated, with 3600 men captured.

That night, Kakashi, together with Kurenai Yuhi, broke through the southern defense line of Iwagakure and captured a total of 960 people, including those from the Iwagakure border and the Explosion Release unit.

Late at night, the First and Third Armies, who had been marching at breakneck speed, met up at the border between the Land of Frost and the Land of Lightning, and began a direct confrontation with the border ninjas of the Land of Lightning.

Meanwhile, in the southern field area of ​​the Guining Army, the newly formed ninja army led by Shin Hyuga split into two groups. One group attacked and captured Hoshigakure Village, while the other group crossed the sea by boat and captured Yugakure Village, where they had a small-scale conflict with the Kirigakure ninja who were on a mission there.

From then on, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure all learned of Ning's large-scale military operation.

In an instant, the three figures were shocked, and the world was stunned!
