Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"Ms. Yubi!"

Soon, the other three nannies that Yubi was supposed to be helping also arrived.

They are Hakura, Sakamoto, and Fukushima Taki.

In this story, Yekura possesses a bloodline limit, and Sakamoto's father was the captain of the Sunagakure village's guard. He had encountered Yubi when Yubi was assassinated by Danzo's men.

Fukushima Taki's father was the head of an intelligence agency.

In short, they all have a background.

Including Yashamaru, the four of them bowed to Yubi again.

Of the four people, apart from Yecang's somewhat intriguing expression, the other three looked at Yubi with extreme respect.

They did not show any disrespect because of his age.

"Indeed... war is the best breeding ground for heroes," Yubi thought to himself.

He glanced at Ye Cang intentionally, then smiled and said, "Let's go, let's set off early!"

Immediately afterwards, he led the group away.

Before leaving Sunagakure, Yubi gave them a short time to prepare and checked their supplies to see if anything was missing.

However, thanks to Yashamaru, he didn't need to worry about this.

After all, although he is a medical ninja, Yashamaru is still very experienced.

Yubi also specifically instructed him to take good care of the younger generation.

On their way to the coast, the three kids were very nervous, just like when Yubi went on a border mission, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Yekura, on the other hand, deliberately put on a determined look, which amused Yubi.

Even if it's all an act... this determination and drive are already commendable.

On the way, Yubi took out a book from her backpack and read it as she walked, appearing quite relaxed.

He also slowed down considerably, allowing the three students to keep up.

"As expected of Yubi-sensei, she doesn't forget to study even while traveling..." Sakamoto, who had slightly buck teeth, couldn't help but exclaim with a gleam in his eyes as he saw Yubi reading and traveling at the same time.

"Hehe... It will take us at least two days to reach the war zone. For now, it's relatively safe, so there's no need to be too nervous," Yubi laughed.

The main problem is that the three students can't keep up with the pace.

Otherwise, it should take a little over a day to get there.

"This is probably the first time any of you have carried out a mission like this. When you encounter the enemy, don't think about how to defeat them. For you, the first thing to consider is always survival. Under relatively safe conditions, remember to observe the enemy and the battlefield environment. You need to develop the habit of collecting external factors... Then, in the process of fighting the enemy, figure out their fighting style and methods, and then... consider how to defeat them."

"Once you develop your fighting habits and make them instinctive... things will become simpler."

Yubi thought about it and offered some suggestions.

"I understand, teacher."

Fukushima Taki and Sakamoto both nodded.

Yecang was the only one who remained silent.

She's too strong-willed... so she probably didn't listen.

Yubi saw through her thoughts, but didn't point it out.

You can't learn by being taught, but you can learn by doing... once is enough.

This little girl has told him more than once that she wants to surpass him, and now she's probably holding back a lot of anger, wanting to prove herself.

Then... Yubi, as the teacher, learned about the strengths and abilities of each of the four students and arranged a simplified battle plan.

As Arai had instructed, the higher-ups had clearly placed these people in his team so that he could train them; the completion of the mission was not the most important thing.

"The assassination techniques of Kirigakure are renowned. Once on the battlefield, you must remain highly vigilant... Also, no matter what happens, do not panic. You must learn to handle things calmly. Although we also have personnel stationed along the coastal border, the terrain and environment are quite complex. If Kirigakure doesn't deploy a large force, they can still infiltrate our territory frequently in small teams. Moreover, their goal is not to fight us, but to disrupt the living areas of our people, plunder supplies, or kidnap merchants."

"Therefore, you must also understand the purpose of our mission... Fighting Kirigakure is not the primary objective; protecting the people and driving them away is our top priority... As long as they retreat or escape, we don't necessarily have to pursue them, understand?"

As time passed and they drew closer to the war zone, Yubi began to give more and more instructions.

Although he still had a kind expression, his tone unconsciously became a bit serious.

During this time, Yubi not only reviewed the training materials and notes he had brought, but also occasionally wrote something down and handed it to Yashamaru.

That's right, it was some of his medical experience.

It is a treatment plan for situations where a squad may suffer injuries on the battlefield, and it also includes some medical knowledge.

Chiyo's decision to have Yashamaru join her team was clearly an attempt to obtain some 'inheritance' from him.

Yubi was also generous and didn't mind teaching.

He already had plans to improve the village's medical standards, and it would be a good thing if he could train Yashamaru into a capable medical professional.

Moreover, Yashamaru's talent in medicine is indeed quite remarkable.

Yubi could see that.

Later, when I have time, I will teach him a few medical ninjutsu techniques, but whether he can learn them depends on his own abilities.

……

Two days later, the five-person team, weary from their journey, arrived at a coastal fishing village.

Don't assume that the Land of Wind is just a vast expanse of desert and wasteland; after all, it's also bordered by the sea.

For residents living along the coast, fishing is their main source of livelihood and income.

Besides stationing personnel along the border to monitor the movements of Kirigakure, Sunagakure's other deployment involved dispersing Sunagakure squads to various civilian settlements throughout the war zone to protect the safety of the residents. Each village or town had a basic Sunagakure personnel presence, serving as a temporary foothold for Sunagakure.

Although they were facing ninjas from an enemy country, the situation was somewhat like dealing with bandits or mountain brigands.

Here, the local people and Sunagakure can be seen as one entity.

"Captain Yubi."

The Sand Village representative nodded to Yubi in greeting and explained the situation, "This is the area of ​​activity that Kirigakure has observed along the coast so far, but their exact location is still unclear..."

Yubi reached out and took the map, then handed it to a few students.

"The areas marked in red, are the situation more serious?"

Yubi asked.

"Well... some villages have been destroyed and are no longer habitable, but... we have safely evacuated the surviving villagers."

The former responded.

Little by little, it adds up. Although raiding a village may not yield many resources, the Hidden Mist Village has been doing this tirelessly for years, and has clearly accumulated some gains.

Moreover, before coming here, Yubi had also learned some information about the battlefield from Arai.

Previously, Yubi had never paid attention to the conflict between the village and Kirigakure, after all, compared to Konoha and Iwagakure, Kirigakure was not a great threat.

However, aside from the limited resources, the casualty rate of Sunagakure on this battlefield was very low... which does not match the number of people counted by the village, because the whereabouts of these Sunagakure people are unknown. They did not die in battle, but were captured alive by Kirigakure.

It's not that Kirigakure intends to use these Sunagakure villagers as hostages or prisoners in a deal with Sunagakure.

Then... there's only one possibility.

They used these Sunagakure villages for experiments, or to spy on secrets and information related to Sunagakure.

Not to mention living ninjas, even the corpses of dead ninjas... have value.

A ninja is a vessel for ninjutsu, a living embodiment of a village's resources... They can be used to conduct targeted research on ninjutsu, thereby transforming it into ninjutsu resources for their own village.

Ninjas themselves are also the most suitable 'guinea pigs' for some scientific research projects.

The other villages were truly locked in fierce battles, fighting each other to gain a voice in the ninja world.

When they got to Kirigakure, they started doing things that were a bit vulgar.

However, it does fit the "style" of their village.

"Thank you for your help."

After learning more about the situation, the Sand Village officer in charge of inspecting the village spoke politely to Yubi.

"Um."

Yubi smiled slightly.

He then turned to look at the four of them, including Yashamaru, and said, "Let's go... let's begin."
