Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 19 Battle (Part 1)

The Land of Lightning is located in the northern part of the continent, basically in a remote and isolated location.

In fact, apart from the Land of Fire, which possesses the most fertile land, the other four of the five great nations are all unfortunate.

Needless to say, the Land of Lightning's steep terrain meant that their dwellings were all located halfway up the mountainside.

Every day I'm afraid that if I roll over too much, I'll fall right down the mountain (an exaggeration). Who wants to sleep on the mountainside for no reason?

This harsh environment has led to a martial spirit among the people of the Land of Lightning—they simply can't survive without some fancy skills—after all, they can use the excuse of training themselves to deliberately ignore the harshness of the environment.

But to be honest, doesn't the Land of Lightning want to be like Konoha, living in the heart of the continent where people can eat and sleep well?

Of course I do.

Unfortunately, Hashirama Senju was there, so they dared not make a move.

Later, after making inquiries from various sources, they obtained some information.

Hashirama Senju, that damned, incredibly powerful ninja god of Konoha, seems to be, perhaps, possibly dead...

They had no concrete information and could only continue their investigation.

Then many clues were discovered.

For example, the Konoha Casino hasn't been doing so well lately because a certain big spender hasn't come.

Hashirama Senju's transformation technique would naturally not be detected, but the business of a casino cannot be faked.

Not to mention that some of these venues were actually run by spies from other countries.

This won't work; perhaps it's just normal fluctuation?

Then the child from Hashirama Senju's family moved out.

Okay, Yuya is eleven years old now, she's not a child anymore.

This cannot be used as a basis for judgment; we need to continue observing.

Then it was discovered that Tobirama Senju didn't visit Hashirama Senju's mansion as often anymore. (After all, only his sister-in-law was there, and to avoid suspicion, he couldn't just barge in like before.)

Although Mito Uzumaki remembered Hashirama Senju's instructions, even when she changed into mourning clothes, she stayed at home and dared not let anyone see her. However, all sorts of clues were enough for the people of the Land of Lightning to confirm one thing.

That means even if Hashirama Senju didn't die, his condition must have been quite wrong.

If that's the case, then let's give it a try if it doesn't work.

Anyway, they've had enough of that godforsaken place, the Land of Lightning. If you can't beat that awful place, then take it.

Thus, in the spring of the seventeenth year of Konoha, the Land of Lightning launched an attack on Konoha Village.

……

One month later:

"Hey, is it really possible for enemies to come here?" Hyuga Kazuko, who was about the same age as Yua, glanced at Yua and said with dissatisfaction.

Yuya looked at the map in front of him and shook his head: "This is the rear area. Although it was the Land of Lightning that declared war, we are not just here to defend."

They were located between cliffs in the northern part of the Land of Fire.

The only way to get around here is by a single iron chain bridge.

Their first shift's mission was simple: if the people retreating from the front lines between Konoha and Kumogakure were their own, they didn't need to be bothered; but if they were from Kumogakure, they had to blow up the iron chains.

The detonating tags have already been affixed to the only bridge surface.

Uchiha Rou glanced at Hyuga Kazuko, smiled slightly, and said with a disdainful expression, "Don't you have Byakugan? Show me with your Byakugan."

The rivalry between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans was previously hampered by the presence of Madara Uchiha, with the Hyuga clan being suppressed.

However, Madara Uchiha was ostracized by the Uchiha clan and then pulled off a major feat, making the Hyuga clan feel like they were back in power.

You guys can't possibly produce another Madara Uchiha, can you?

Of course, adults still greet each other with smiles, but when it comes to children, the lesson is that they can't afford to lose to each other.

Children at this age are just beginning to form their own thoughts; teaching them like this will definitely lead them astray.

Of course, if you're taking your son to the battlefield when he's four years old, then disregard what I'm saying (Uchiha Fugaku: Stop mentioning me, stop mentioning me).

Youya ignored the argument between the two kids.

Just then, a middle-aged woman dressed in a ninja-style bodysuit and leather jacket, with her hair tied in a ponytail, walked over: "How's it going, Youya? After watching for so long, are you still worried about the front lines?"

This beautiful young woman is none other than Tobirama Senju's secretary.

Because of his high regard for Yua, and because he had to go to the battlefield, Tobirama Senju assigned his most trusted person to lead Yua's team.

Furthermore, for safety reasons, Yuya's team was specifically assigned some very simple tasks.

For example, this task of guarding the bridge, you might say it's important, but it's not that important either... well, if Konoha at the front line were to collapse, their ability to stop the enemy's advance here would be a great achievement.

Tobirama Senju's idea was indeed very good.

only……

Yuya sighed and then nodded: "Here, what I'm worried about isn't those guys from Kumogakure, but the people from the Land of Water."

The secretary was taken aback: "The Water Kingdom? Aren't they our allies?"

Yuya was speechless. How could Tobirama's secretary be so naive?

Can you trust allies these days?

How often do allies betray us?

Just then, Youya heard a noise coming from the other side of the bridge.

A group of Konoha ninjas sped across the river.

Yuya could see it clearly: these Konoha ninjas moved swiftly and moved with lightning speed. More importantly, every step they took left a deep crater in the ground.

Yuya's pupils constricted sharply. He immediately stood up, holding a kunai in his hand, and pointed it at the five Konoha ninjas who had already run onto the iron chain from the other side: "Stop! Stop right now! If you don't stop, I'll activate the explosive tags!"

The iron chain was only a little over a hundred meters long, and You Ya's eyesight was good enough to tell that something was wrong.

The secretary frowned and stood in front of You Ya, saying, "Stop! Give the code! Otherwise, we'll take action!"

The five figures showed no sign of stopping. The secretary hesitated for a moment, but You Ya, without pausing, immediately formed hand seals and shouted, "Explode!"

With a loud "boom," the iron chain was blasted into two pieces. The five ninjas who had just run to the middle of the chain stopped pretending. As the smoke from the transformation jutsu dissipated, their figures were revealed.

They were a group of guys dressed in black clothes and blue robes.

"The Mizukage?!" The secretary was shocked, but it was too late. The five ninjas jumped off the bridge, and then...

It fell straight down.

Nonsense, how could you possibly jump across a distance of tens of meters so easily?

However, they also completed their mission, because they threw out the sealing scroll before falling off the cliff.

Five scrolls unfurled in the air...

The secretary watched nervously as the scroll unfurled high in the sky, and then, a deluge of water gushed forth from it, hurtling towards the team…

In the air, these water streams gradually changed shape, becoming cones and then solid ice crystals, and then...

A group of four people, one adult and three children, shot towards the secretary...
