Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 48 My Reading of the Spring and Autumn Annals

Natsume and his three companions carefully circled the main camp of Kumogakure.

No abnormalities were found.

Returning empty-handed is perfectly normal.

If it were that easy to spot, it would seem too fake.

If it were just Tsunade, she would most likely try to risk infiltrating at this point.

But now that she has the assistance of the Uchiha Shisui squad, she doesn't need to do anything herself; she just needs to wait.

"So fast?"

Shizune was somewhat surprised to see Uchiha Shisui and the other three return.

After all, they were going in to arrest people, and if they weren't careful, they would be discovered.

She can only blame it on good luck.

But Natsume knew this wasn't luck, but skill.

The Mangekyou Sharingan was activated normally, without any noticeable movement.

Without looking directly into your eyes, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

It would be an easy task to deceive Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yugao.

"It seems things aren't looking good."

Tsunade noticed Shisui Uchiha's grave expression and, as she approached, asked, "What news have you received?"

"It's a water attack."

Uchiha Shisui pointed to the riverbank in the distance and said, "They're preparing to release the water and flood the downstream area."

"what?"

Tsunade subconsciously looked at Natsume.

"This is just the first step."

Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath and said, "The second step is lightning. They seem to have developed a device that they placed at the bottom of the river to amplify the lightning chakra, which can instantly electrify all the river water."

Ninjas can walk on water, but they can't defend against lightning.

If the tactic succeeds, it can paralyze many ninjas, thus creating an opportunity for victory.

As for the device, it's nothing special.

In the original work, the Hidden Cloud Village also developed a high-tech spacetime chakra cannon, which was said to be able to blast the moon away.

Setting up a mine spreader shouldn't be a problem.

How so?

It is possible to get infected without knowing it.

Ninjas are not afraid of water.

Even with the addition of Lightning Release ninjutsu, it would be difficult to cover such a large area in an instant.

Therefore, they are not very vigilant.

But now that we know the plan, it's easier to stop it.

First, destroy the mine-spreading devices.

Second, notify Uchiha Fugaku and others to relocate.

But simply stopping them would be too easy for Kumogakure.

"Shizune, Kabuto, and Anko, the three of you return to camp immediately and inform Fugaku of the situation."

Tsunade spoke decisively.

The three people she selected were all of average skill level.

The remaining Natsume, Itachi Uchiha, and Yugao Uzuki were all able to perform at the level of Jonin.

"Lady Tsunade, what about you?"

Mitarashi Anko glanced at Uzuki Yugao with some resentment.

Itachi Uchiha relied on his own talent and Sharingan, but Yugao Uzuki did not; she relied on the cursed seal given to her by Orochimaru.

She was angry because Orochimaru hadn't given her anything.

She arrived first, so why did Uzuki Yugao receive preferential treatment?

"We'll try to sabotage the lightning dispersal device. If possible, we'll also send a gift to Kumogakure."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Your missions are equally important, and you cannot slack off because of this."

"Yes."

Having said that, Mitarashi Anko and the others dared not linger any longer and turned to leave.

"What exactly does the mine-spreading device look like?"

After watching them leave, Tsunade looked away and asked.

"The central control unit is located at the Cloud Village headquarters. It requires nine Lightning Release Jonin to operate it, transmitting Lightning Release chakra through laid cables to a device at the bottom of the river in the distance, where it is then released instantly."

Uchiha Shisui knew so much because he used his Mangekyou Sharingan to interrogate a Jonin.

"trouble."

Tsunade fell into deep thought.

There are only five of them here, which is no way they can gather nine Lightning Release Jonin.

It is almost impossible to turn the tables on them.

Unless someone is transferred from Konoha headquarters.

But after a while, the Hidden Cloud Village will definitely notice something.

After all, they had to relocate their base.

In addition, there are also many scouts and spies in Kumogakure.

The fact that nine Lightning Release Jonin were abruptly transferred away was already quite obvious.

Uchiha Shisui hesitated for a few seconds before choosing not to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Given Orochimaru's previous attack on him, he couldn't rashly trust Tsunade.

Actually, with the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan, controlling a few Jonin shouldn't be a problem.

He could even use Kotoamatsukami to modify the Fourth Raikage's subconscious, thus giving Konoha an unprecedented victory.

"I have a question."

After listening for a while, Natsume finally asked, "Does this device require the chakra of nine Jonin with Lightning Release, or the chakra of nine Jonin?"

"Naturally, it's the chakra of nine Jonin, plus lightning attribute."

Uchiha Shisui answered immediately.

Tsunade's eyes suddenly lit up; she had understood what Natsume meant.

If that's the case, with her Yin Seal, she alone could equal the chakra of nine Jonin.

If all else fails, the original necklace will do.

"Shisui, lead the way."

Tsunade possesses five attributes: fire, lightning, earth, water, and yang.

Although he's not particularly good at it, he can convert chakra into lightning style.

Few people know about the Yin Seal.

Uchiha Shisui had never heard of this before, but since Tsunade said so, she must be confident.

He immediately led them to the location of the mine-expanding device.

Unsurprisingly, there were a large number of people patrolling.

Infiltrating silently is virtually impossible.

"Natsume has Water Release and Earth Release techniques. He can open the riverbank, divert the river to the Cloud Village headquarters, and then cut the cable."

Tsunade knew he possessed Wood Release, which would be even more useful in crucial moments.

If all else fails, use the original necklace to create a Tree Realm Incarnation, and go completely insane.

"I'm activating the lightning amplification device, but the three of you have a heavier task: to withstand the attacks of the Fourth Raikage and the others."

At this point, Tsunade already felt it was unlikely.

This headquarters has hundreds of ninjas, including many Jonin.

There are only three of them; it would be difficult for them to hold out for even a short period of time.

"Wait, have you learned psychic magic?"

Tsunade suddenly remembered that there were two Orochimaru's students in front of her.

With a slug and two snakes, three enormous creatures, they should have no problem holding the line.

"I've learned it."

Uchiha Itachi and Uzuki Yugao nodded at the same time.

Orochimaru doesn't actually keep anything to himself.

In the original work, he also devoted himself to teaching Uchiha Sasuke.

The stronger they are, the better it will be for Orochimaru.

"It seems we're going to make a big contribution this time. If we succeed, the old man will definitely give us an extra reward."

Tsunade smiled; she didn't really care, but it was different for others.

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi believed in the Will of Fire, which would please Sarutobi Hiruzen, so they naturally couldn't miss the opportunity.

Uzuki Yugao is very direct; she wants to become stronger.

Besides the rewards, there's also the fame.

Fame, as an intangible asset, is quite useful.

For example, by doing this, Tsunade is one step closer to becoming the Fifth Hokage.

It might have been earlier than the original.

Natsume's small goal, to become the Hokage, is naturally about to be achieved.

well.

In ancient times, Guan Yu flooded the seven armies; now, I, Natsume, flood the Cloud Ninja.

Thinking about it, we do have something in common.

For example, they all love reading the Spring and Autumn Annals.
