Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

If it were any other ninja tool, given Yubi's status in the village, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take it for himself.

After all, he was the one who discovered this ninja tool.

However, given the special effect of military music on the battlefield, its value is quite different.

This is a factor that can determine the outcome of the battle, and it also means that with it, Sunagakure will have the confidence to face other villages... As a result, the higher-ups will definitely want to entrust it to the village for "safekeeping" rather than to an individual.

Of course, how powerful this ninja tool can be on the battlefield... still needs to be tested in actual combat.

This opportunity... will come soon.

Yubi killed dozens of Iwagakure members all by himself, and the Iwagakure naturally couldn't swallow that insult.

Once it was confirmed that Yubi had escaped back to the Land of Wind, Iwagakure immediately assembled its army and launched an offensive against Sunagakure.

The security personnel reported that the number of people in Iwagakure was estimated to be over a thousand.

Since Yubi was promoted to captain of the medical squad, the number of people he participated in on the battlefield has increased from two or three hundred to several hundred, and he has to command and deploy several medical teams on the battlefield.

The units that cooperate in joint operations are no longer small detachments, but rather a large battalion.

But he had never experienced a battlefield with thousands of people...

"Set off!"

Upon receiving the news, Sunagakure immediately began preparations for battle and, under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Shimizu, headed to the border.

Iwagakure is coming on strong... In this great battle, Commander-in-Chief Shimizu will inevitably have to personally participate.

Not long after, the two armies met in a desolate Gobi Desert and gazed at each other from afar.

By this time, it was already close to dusk.

The ninjas of both armies, like dense black dots, were arrayed on either side of the earth. A cold wind blew up the floating sand, creating an atmosphere of grim determination.

Neither side immediately took action.

"Shan Ying... bringing so many people into my Wind Kingdom, are you prepared to die?"

Shimizu stood at the front of the army, slowly stepped forward, glanced at the man who was also leaping out of the formation in the distance, and said coldly.

Yamae... is the commander on Iwagakure's side.

They've known each other for a long time...and know each other very well.

"Stop deceiving yourselves. Our village is just using you as training grounds... Do you really think Sunagakure has the ability to fight against Iwagakure?" The man opposite laughed loudly.

"Choosing this time to attack, and with such a grand scale... making no attempt to conceal your presence, and seemingly without any battle plan or prior preparation—this isn't like you at all." Shimizu's tone was sarcastic. "What's the rush... are you here for revenge?"

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence on the other end.

"Ah... I remember now, it seems... yesterday, one of us from Sunagakure wiped out an entire group from Iwagakure... Tsk tsk, that's strange, was Iwagakure training their troops, or was Sunagakure using you as practice targets?"

Shimizu's tone was not only smug but also obnoxious.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Many of the Sand Villagers in the queue joined in the laughter, creating quite a commotion.

This scene made Yubi raise an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, this commander-in-chief has this side to him... unlike his usual serious and composed demeanor.

"..."

As expected, the atmosphere on the other end of the Iwagakure forum became somewhat tense after these words were spoken.

"kill!"

Then, without saying a word, the commander-in-chief of Iwagakure immediately roared.

Immediately, the two armies moved and converged rapidly across the land like locusts in flight.

"You two are in charge of Yubi's safety!"

As the battle began, a battalion commander turned to Ito and Sasori and gave them some instructions before rushing into the enemy ranks with the flow of people.

Needless to say, once the battle reaches a fever pitch, Yubi will most likely be subjected to frequent sabotage by the enemy.

For Iwagakure, besides having an aura of hatred, if Yubi uses ninja tools to disrupt the Iwagakure army in a wide area, the enemy will immediately react and prioritize eliminating him.

Therefore...we must assign someone to protect them.

The deafening explosions and the interplay of various escape techniques instantly came into view.

Yubi lowered his eyes and stood in the center of the Sand Village formation, slightly behind.

Immediately, the dream of ninja tools and military music was sounded.

An invisible flute melody swept across the sky like a tide, creating ripples invisible to the naked eye among the two groups of people.

Those Iwagakure who were originally charging into battle and fighting hand-to-hand with the Sand Village's front-line defensive formation suddenly froze, making mistakes in both attacking, defending, and dodging maneuvers.

The reaction was much slower, which gave Sunagakure an opportunity to mercilessly kill their opponent.

Some were disturbed by the music... while others were directly hypnotized and collapsed to the ground.

In contrast, the people of Sunagakure were in high spirits. After hearing the flute music, their will and emotions for battle were stirred, and their morale soared.

"What's going on?!"

"This is...an illusion?"

Within the hidden rock formation, Shan Ying's pupils contracted.

He immediately looked toward the source of the sound.

However, the scene was somewhat chaotic, and he couldn't find the culprit at all.

"It's an illusion cast by Yubi!"

A ninja with sensory abilities instantly appeared beside him, speaking with hatred.

Because they were positioned relatively far back, not at the forefront of the battle, they could hear some music and their chakra stirred slightly, but the impact was minimal.

Those who were the first to charge forward were the ones who were most severely disrupted.

"That brat!"

Upon hearing the name Yubi, Shan Ying's face also revealed murderous intent.

A sense of unease and uncertainty lingered in my heart.

Despite being a medical ninja, he possesses terrifying practical combat skills... and now, he can also unleash such a large-scale group genjutsu?

How did you do that?

In his experience, even the most skilled illusionists could not create such a large-scale disturbance on the battlefield in a short period of time.

Moreover, it wasn't just a simple illusion. Through observation, Yamaei keenly realized that the Sand Village's combat capabilities had also improved due to the heightened emotions.

One by one, the hidden rock figures ahead are falling.

The illusion's power wasn't particularly exaggerated, but its range was enormous.

Fighting under duress, the Iwagakure assault squads were unable to perform at their normal level... When facing the Sand Village's elite assault squads, the entire battlefield defense line was as fragile as paper, and was quickly wiped out and pushed down.

"Spread out the other teams and don't group them together... This enemy illusion is transmitted through sound waves, and its range is limited."

"Yes."

"Also, use ranged escape techniques and attacks to target the area where Yubi is, stop his genjutsu, and use escape techniques to destroy the terrain, disrupt the Sand Village's formation, cover Hongo and Yuji, and infiltrate the Sand Village forces to take out that guy first..."

Shan Ying said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the perceptive ninja immediately vanished.

"Such a wide-ranging genjutsu, no matter how this kid activated it, must have consumed an enormous amount of chakra. Given his age, he probably won't be able to hold out for long..." Shan Ying thought to himself.

He then immediately led the surrounding people to fill the gaps on the front line.
