Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Because of their subordinate relationship, commanders like Yu Xian and their directly subordinate units have certain privileges on the battlefield, and their actions may not necessarily be subject to the constraints of the on-site commander.

The reason is simple: they are directly under the command of the supreme commander, and the supreme commander's orders have the highest priority. This situation is similar to that of the secret service.

No matter how high a ninja's rank is, he cannot command the ANBU to operate unless he is the Hokage.

This kind of "privilege" is certainly not something battlefield commanders would like. Although both sides are on the battlefield, their missions and operations are actually in a parallel system, rather than a relationship of command and being commanded.

It is common knowledge that all commanders like to command people and dislike those who are not under their command.

Fortunately, this situation existed before Yu Xian became a direct subordinate unit, and it wouldn't change much because of his presence; he only needed to carry out his mission.

Taking down the Explosion Release ninja from Iwagakure would be a huge victory. The enemy belonged to an elite demolition unit, possessing strength, fame, and status. Every village has a handful of these ninjas, and losing even one would be a tremendous loss. Iwagakure must be heartbroken.

After this battle, Iwagakure's activities became more frequent. For Iwagakure, Gari was temporarily missing and his fate was unknown, but for the ninjas on the battlefield, being unsure of their fate meant they were dead.

With this expectation in mind, Iwagakure naturally began to launch frequent attacks. However, from the perspective of the ninja village, this was not a passive act of revenge but a more proactive form of retaliation.

Unfortunately, the battle on this battlefield was already at a stalemate. Even if Iwagakure wanted to continue its efforts, there was only so much it could do. If it wanted to overwhelm Konoha on the battlefield, it would have to send more troops.

Onoki of Iwagakure is a cunning man; he won't easily use his reserve forces.

Although the battle between Konoha and Iwagakure on this battlefield was a chaotic mess, Yugen wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the upcoming battles. He felt he had already met his KPIs and could now relax a bit.

After spending nearly twenty days on the battlefield deep within the Land of Rain, Yu Xian had experienced a full-scale frontal combat mission.

At this point, he and Kohinata Shingan retreated to the area controlled by Konoha. Although they might still face a surprise attack from Iwagakure ninjas, this area was now considered relatively safe.

The two sat cross-legged on a flat rock under a big tree. If you ignored the bloodstains on their bodies and the various ninja tools laid out in front of them waiting to be sorted, the atmosphere here would be quite like a picnic.

"The intensity of combat on the front lines is too great. Even I... even our squad, which prioritizes rest, is nearing its limit after being on the front lines for so long." Having personally experienced the brutality of the battlefield, Yu Xian has a deep understanding of its devastation.

Kohinata Shingen wiped a kunai with a coarse cloth. After wiping it, he held it up to his eyes, examined the still sharp blade, and then put it back into his ninja tool pouch at his waist.

Prioritizing rest? This is quite an unusual statement, but Shinonomi Kohinata admits that even when he's taking it easy, his physical and mental state is nearing its limit.

Zhenyan stacked several shuriken one by one like cards, and said at the same time:

"What's even more tragic is that only a few people are qualified to withstand this kind of extreme pressure... It only takes more than ten years for a ninja to grow up, but the 'use period' is only a few days on the battlefield."

Yu Xian nodded but didn't say anything more, because he felt that Zhen Yan's statement was somewhat exaggerated. Although the mortality rate of ninjas was high, it was not as high as Zhen Yan said, otherwise ninjas would have been extinct long ago.

It's truly astonishing that the cruelty of war and the resilience of human life could coexist so vividly amidst the heavy stench of blood.

In other words, no matter how badly the fight goes, there will always be someone who survives like a cockroach, and this resilience sometimes has little to do with the strength of the opponent.

"After the mission is over, we can rest for a while," Zhenyan continued.

"I heard that the frontline ninjas have a chance to return to Konoha to rest for a while?" Yugen asked.

Having been in the ninja world for so long, Yugen has yet to witness the Konoha of this era... It's hard to say whether it's better or worse; what he has witnessed is the Konoha of the future.

"Some ninjas have already returned to Konoha temporarily. The war broke out last spring, and if you calculate the time, they will probably get a routine opportunity to return to the village after staying here for about ten months," Zhenyan said.

"Ten months..."

Never mind, I won't say anything more. At least I'll have a chance to go back and rest.

Yu Xian flicked his wrist, performing a flourish with his sword, and put away the last kunai. To be honest, this broken weapon wasn't very useful, but it was easy to manufacture. Yu Xian was thinking about when to equip himself with some better melee weapons instead of constantly using such consumables.

"Someone's coming, hmm? It should be one of our own people supporting the front lines." Kohinata Shingen suddenly sensed something, stood up, and looked up in a certain direction.

After fighting together for some time, Yu Xian had great faith in Zhen Yan's perception abilities, so he remained seated and showed no intention of getting up.

After a while, sure enough, a group of Konoha ninjas sped away from the direction that Zhenyan was staring at.

The other party also became aware of their presence. As they passed by, they turned their heads and glanced in their direction. After confirming their identity as Konoha ninjas, they did not stop.

"Yu Xian, it looks like that White Fang..." Zhen Yan clearly saw the appearance of the leading ninja.

"Yes, I see it. The visibility is quite good today."

Sakumo Hatake arrived at this battlefield, but it had nothing to do with Hagen, because their mission was over and they were going to return to the border of the Land of Fire.

Konoha's White Fang doesn't slack off; he's truly ruthless when there's an enemy.

After completing the handover procedures, Yu Xian and Zhen Yan returned to the border camp. However, before they even arrived, once they were within a generally safe area, he couldn't wait to enter the instance...

The new instance has been "loaded," but the battle in the Rain Kingdom was too intense, and he didn't have a chance to enter the instance. If he were killed while entering the instance, his death would be too tragic.

In short, after enduring for a while, Yu Xian was almost experiencing withdrawal symptoms, so he was ready to enter the new instance as soon as he had the chance.

The process of entering the instance is not detailed here. When Yu Xian opened his eyes again, he saw Konoha under the sunlight.

Hmm? Something's not right. Why are there so many tall buildings? Is this Konoha? Why is it so modern?

Realizing something was wrong, Yu Xian instinctively turned his head towards Yingyan's direction, and then he began to count:

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..."

"Well……"
