Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

The Land of Wind and Sunagakure are not incapable of prolonged warfare; after all, they are a combination of a major power and a great ninja village. However, compared to other great ninja villages, the pressure on Sunagakure will increase exponentially as the war drags on.

If possible, Sunagakure would never want the war to drag on for too long.

"Considering our troop strength, influence, and even resource reserves, Sunagakure is currently the strongest Sunagakure. If we cannot seize the initiative in the war now, our chances of dominating the battle will become increasingly slim as time goes on."

"That's true, but we still need to remain cautious and avoid rash actions. We need to find a breakthrough and seek an opportunity to strike decisively."

"Winning as quickly as possible is in our best interest as Sunagakure."

"That's true, but how exactly should we do it?"

"Who is this targeting?"

"Targeting Amegakure is pointless. Amegakure can only rely on Hanzo. Small ninja villages have no chance of controlling the battle."

"The target can only be a major power, Iwagakure or Konoha?"

"It can only be Konoha. Iwagakure's adjustment of its advance route is aimed at Konoha, and all we have to do is follow Iwagakure's lead."

"Onoki of the Two Scales... Could the old man from Iwagakure have been plotting against us while adjusting Iwagakure's strategy?"

"..."

"It's possible. Onoki is indeed a cunning and shrewd person."

Iwagakure's approach wasn't particularly complicated; it could be considered a calculated strategy. As long as Sunagakure had a little understanding, the battlefield would be set up so that both sides would work together against Konoha.

"With one against two, Konoha is already overwhelmed. Can they withstand this pressure? We have a chance to drive Konoha out of the battlefield."

"To hand them a defeat, the possibility of destroying Konoha... well, that's unrealistic."

"Let's talk about what's happening on the battlefield first."

"The opportunity is there; the question is how to seize it."

"Create an opportunity to mobilize the Konoha ninjas, use a feint to draw their attention with a small number of not-too-negligible targets, mobilize a large number of Konoha ninjas, and then launch a surprise attack from another direction... to crush them in one fell swoop."

"Transfer?"

"We must send out the strongest, and there are only a handful of people in the village who can take on this task."

"Then I'll go."

"The third generation? No, you can't go..."

"Sending out the third generation is too reckless. You are the current Kazekage. At this time, no village has sent its Kage to the battlefield. We must remain calm."

We can't let the current Kazekage take risks; if something goes wrong, it would be a huge loss.

"Besides three generations, who else can undertake this task? Can we share the blessings?"

"According to the information from Amegakure, Iwagakure has already deployed Jinchūriki."

"Sharing the fortune? No way. On one hand, he is a monk who adheres to the belief of not killing. Protecting the village is fine, but taking the initiative to attack goes against his will, and even we cannot force him. On the other hand, he is not well-known, and even if he appears on the battlefield, he will not attract Konoha's attention immediately."

"What about tailed beast transformation?"

"What if it gets out of control?"

After much discussion, although they hadn't decided who should be the decoy, they had essentially narrowed down the candidates.

So, at this moment, someone coughed lightly, and then an old voice said, "I'll go instead. I'm just right. Konoha probably hasn't forgotten my face."

…………

Konoha was a bit slow to react; the command center hadn't yet realized they had become the target of a pincer attack by Iwagakure and Sunagakure, and they were caught in a blind spot in their thinking.

The relationship between Iwagakure and Sunagakure is even worse than that between Iwagakure and Konoha, and between Sunagakure and Konoha. How could they possibly cooperate to deal with Konoha?

And there's also the Rain Shadow in between.

The Konoha frontline command's understanding of the overall battle situation was temporarily limited to strengthening defenses and surveillance against Sunagakure.

On Yugen's side, the eleventh squad, after assembling, immediately headed to the territory of the River Country.

"Captain, how many reconnaissance squads will be deployed in the Land of Rivers?" Yu Xuan asked the squad leader on the way to the Land of Rivers.

He was somewhat opportunistic in his treatment of people. When he was in Akimichi Torifu's team, Yugen rarely asked any questions. Firstly, he held the fourth position in the team and had no say in anything. Secondly, Akimichi Torifu was a reliable and experienced Jonin, which subconsciously made people feel that he was reliable.

But this team is different. The captain, Inuzuka Tsukasa, is only a Chunin. He is not comparable to Akimichi Torifu. In comparison, Yugen's status in the team has improved. He has been promoted to the number two... Putting aside Kohinata Shingan, Might Guy is very good at fighting, but he is only a Genin.

Because she was somewhat unsure of herself, Yu Xian wanted to learn more.

"I don't know exactly how many squads are rotating, but there should be about twenty-four squads carrying out missions at the same time," Inuzuka said.

"Twenty-four branches..."

In other words, they need less than a hundred people to guard against the movements of Sunagakure. The number of ninjas that Konoha has deployed seems okay, but if you actually calculate it, there is a high probability that there is only one reconnaissance ninja in a small team, and there are also "slackers" like Inuzuka Tsukasa.

Twenty-four reconnaissance ninjas, could they see through Sunagakure? Yugen thought it was a bit doubtful.

Yu Xian looked at her own team again and felt that with Might Guy there, at least the team could advance or retreat as needed.

He didn't realize that this "we've got this in the bag" mentality was actually quite dangerous.

The Eight Gates is an extremely powerful taijutsu technique that demands a very high level of skill from its user. A ninja who can open the gates can certainly be considered a genius ninja in a certain sense.

Of course, the same forbidden technique will have different effects when used by different people. In terms of the Eight Gates, the most talented one was Might Guy, who definitely surpassed his master.

"Don't worry, we are on a reconnaissance mission, not a combat mission. Our top priority is to ensure information transmission, not to fight the enemy... Once we discover that Sunagakure is launching a large-scale invasion, we must send a signal immediately and then withdraw quickly," Inuzuka said.

"Captain, given our squad's situation, with Konoha's sophisticated reconnaissance and perception system, we'd definitely be deployed on the front lines, right?" Kohinata Shingen then directly refuted the captain's comforting words.

It's only meaningful to place a dog's nose in front; if it's placed in the back, what can it detect?

With this kind of positioning, what kind of safety could there be if the Sand Village army attacked?

The 11th squad is like a shield squad, a squad composed of two Chunin and two Genin. They are willing to sacrifice themselves when necessary, as long as they don't die silently. At least they have to make some noise so that their teammates know that there is an enemy invasion.

"Cough, don't overthink it. Black Claw has a very keen sense of smell. If you're downwind, its detection range is in the kilometers." The captain said, a little embarrassed.

After saying that, Inuzuka E and Hazen almost simultaneously turned to look at Kohinata Shingen.

It's a shame you didn't roll your eyes.
