Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

The war between Sunagakure and Iwagakure is different from the border skirmishes with the Land of Rain.

In the battles against the Land of Rain, Sunagakure primarily focused on harassment or raids, and often employed infiltration tactics by small, individual squads.

The same applies to both sides.

So... apart from the major battle fought by Hanzo himself leading his army against the Third Kazekage, Granny Chiyo, and others, there have been almost no large-scale wars.

However, for the Sand Village stationed on the border, even when carrying out some daily tasks, there is a high frequency and possibility of combat. Some Sand Villages even fight with Amegakure several times a day.

However, now that they are nearing the border of the Land of Birds, the battles between Sunagakure and Iwagakure are almost always involving more than a hundred people, and small-scale conflicts are rare.

So... in the following days, after his initial clash with Iwagakure, Yubi did not set foot on the battlefield again.

Both sides' troops primarily focused on gathering intelligence on the other's war zone and the movement routes of its personnel.

But this does not mean that the ninjas can get enough rest.

Although no battle has taken place, the security here is much tighter than that on the Land of Rain.

The entire border line covers a vast area, which means that the headquarters at the base has to allocate and manage personnel from all outpost teams and keep a close eye on the enemy's movements at all times... just like a finely tuned instrument that dares not rest for even a moment.

As for Yubi... in addition to learning some battlefield rescue experience from his predecessors, he also had to regularly attend military training with his squad leader and others to analyze and understand a lot of knowledge about the battlefield.

In addition, he went to the medical team to help Saori treat some of the wounded and teach other medical ninjas about healing and saving lives, which was similar to his "preaching" at the village hospital back then.

In short, I'm always on the go.

Extremely busy.

"Mr. Shimizu".

One day, Yubi, who was working in the medical team, was summoned to the commander-in-chief's tent.

Shimizu needs to see him.

Once outside the tent, Yubi called out, and after receiving a response, he went inside.

Upon entering the tent, I discovered that Scorpion was also there.

Shimizu only called the two of them.

"Please sit down."

Upon seeing him arrive, Shimizu gestured with his hand.

Yubi took his seat.

"We just received news that one of our outpost squads was ambushed by Iwagakure," Shimizu said in a deep voice.

Ok?

Yubi remained unmoved.

It's not like the beginning of a war, when the main focus was on scouting the enemy's battle plans. Now, the two villages are already in a state of mutual attrition, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses. Iwagakure's operation of entering the border of the Land of Wind in small teams to carry out a sneak attack will at most kill a few people, and probably won't have much of an effect...

But the fact that Shimizu was able to summon him and Sasori suggests that it's most likely related to the two of them.

"The damage to the base wasn't too great, but... two people were captured."

"That's what Shimizu said."

"Alive?"

Yubi realized what was happening.

If Iwagakure wants to capture someone alive, it's probably because they want to extract information from Sunagakure.

Yubi glanced at Scorpion.

"It's about us, isn't it..." He looked at the commander-in-chief.

"We also captured one of the Iwagakure members. Although he was very stubborn, we still managed to find out their purpose through some means." Shimizu nodded. "Your performance in the previous battle was outstanding, and Iwagakure has already taken notice of you."

"Yubi... many people on the front lines know about your situation. Although our people may not leak it, we don't know if the enemy camp possesses any sensory abilities like mind reading or memory extraction. Therefore... you two can now be considered to have had your information exposed."

Shimizu said seriously, "The enemy risked their lives to penetrate deep into our territory to capture prisoners and extract intelligence... This is a 'treatment' reserved for high-ranking military officers or key figures."

"This also shows that... Iwagakure probably values ​​you very much. If you appear on the battlefield again in the future, you will probably be targeted and the pressure to survive will be even greater."

"It doesn't matter."

Scorpion said indifferently.

"Haha... As expected of an elite Iwagakure ninja, so perceptive... even an insignificant medical ninja like me could be noticed."

Yubi scratched his head and smiled easily.

"..."

Clear water.

"In short... you must be careful on the battlefield from now on. Iwagakure should be quite familiar with you."

Shimizu added another instruction.

Shimizu noticed that Saori seemed to know Yubi quite well, so he spent the last few days talking to Saori about it.

I have gained a clearer understanding of Yubi.

Back then, Yubi's trio was active in the Land of Grass, using information from Iwagakure to cause trouble for Konoha.

This led to the entire village of Iwagakure hearing that two promising young talents had emerged from Sunagakure.

Their identities have now been confirmed.

This will undoubtedly make their situation on the battlefield more dangerous.

After exchanging a few more words, Scorpion and Yubi left together.

……

"The genius puppeteer of Sunagakure...Chiyo's grandson, Sasori."

"This Yubi is actually a medical ninja..."

"They were those two brats who caused quite a bit of trouble for Konoha back then..."

Meanwhile, within the land of birds.

Among the large force stationed at Iwagakure.

The commander summoned the combat leader who had previously been defeated by Sunagakure and handed him the information sent by the village.

In their battle reports sent back to the village, they did not make a special mention of Yubi and Scorpion.

However, the reasons for the defeat were given.

It is said that the medical team of Sunagakure is more efficient than that of Iwagakure, and the performance of one of the medical ninjas is particularly noteworthy.

Then, the situation was briefly described.

After receiving a reply from the village, the commander also conducted some investigations.

A small team was dispatched and captured two Sand Village members alive.

The commander trusted his friend's keen battlefield analysis... A medical ninja who could catch his attention, even if he was just a kid, must be no ordinary person.

Having fought the Sunagakure for so long, both sides are very familiar with each other's situation.

Now, a sudden change has occurred, and even a small one cannot be ignored.

"For a medical ninja to be able to carry out such a dangerous and in-depth solo mission... that's enough to show how remarkable he is as a ninja, not to mention... he's so young." The commander-in-chief took a deep breath and looked at his comrade. "Your failure also proves that these two geniuses from Sunagakure are indeed extraordinary."

"Based on your battle report summary and records, this brat named Yubi possesses combat skills far exceeding those of ordinary ninjas... Therefore, his efficiency in rescuing people on the battlefield is outstanding. As for his healing abilities... we can assume they are excellent; he must be very proficient in medical ninjutsu. Otherwise... it would be impossible for him to create a significantly greater gap on the battlefield than our medical squad..."

After speaking, the commander of Iwagakure paused for a moment, staring at the former, "If it were a battle of the same scale and strength, and it happened a few more times, based on your experience, with this brat around... what are our chances of winning?"

"This... is impossible to calculate, because, to be honest, the battlefield improvement his performance brings to the Sand Village troops isn't actually that significant..."

My friend frowned. "But what I'm worried about is that the sudden appearance of Yubi and Sasori will bring some changes to the entire Sunagakure army... Sasori is a genius puppeteer, and he belongs to the Sunagakure puppeteer unit. In the short term, it's fine, but if it goes on for a long time, as he gradually adapts to the battlefield and absorbs a lot of battlefield experience... being called a genius, with his abilities, what if he improves the puppeteer unit... or what if Yubi improves the medical level of the Sunagakure army...? That would be very disadvantageous for us."

"We're not fighting a blitzkrieg against Sunagakure, but a protracted war. From that perspective, I suggest... we eliminate them as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"
