Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Yugen's own "talent" chakra nature is fire, but his mastery of fire is extremely poor, so he set his sights on wind-style ninjutsu. As for how to acquire wind-style ninjutsu...

Just like last time, we can only act boldly in the dungeon.

Since the "Nine-Tailed Chaos" instance has a limited duration, lasting at most one night, Yu Xian needs to carefully plan how to maximize her profits when entering the instance again.

On the other side, Iwagakure Jonin Dōtō, who was hit head-on by the Rasengan, did not die on the spot, but after being taken back to Iwagakure's front-line camp and undergoing routine procedures such as struggling and rescue, he ultimately could not avoid his fate of death.

He was very resilient, but even the most resilient person cannot survive after losing some vital organs.

He was hit head-on by the Rasengan, which can thoroughly churn a person's internal organs.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Inside the Iwagakure camp, a medical and anatomical ninja dressed in white asked Kari.

Dongtu had an injury he had never seen before. The medical ninja wanted to figure out what kind of ninjutsu had caused this injury... The battlefield was ever-changing, and intelligence was often delayed, but all parties involved in the war always wanted to grasp the most detailed changes in the enemy's situation.

"I was fighting a Konoha Akimichi ninja at the time, so I didn't see how Dongtu fell. But the Konoha ninja who did it must have been a novice." Kari crossed his arms and watched the medical ninja dissect the corpse with a cold eye.

"A newbie?"

"Yes, his attack was a bit off-target and didn't hit Dongtu's heart completely. Otherwise, Dongtu would have died on the spot. There was no way he could have survived and returned to camp," Shou explained.

If it's an experienced ninja, they might not even be able to pinpoint the enemy's heart.

"A novice can use this kind of ninjutsu? It's truly worthy of Konoha, isn't it?"

Shou chuckled and then shook his head:

"There's no need to take Konoha too seriously. After the war started, all the ninja villages realized one thing: Konoha is no longer the ninja village that was led by the First and Second Hokage."

"If Konoha becomes an ordinary ninja village, can it defeat our Iwagakure? No, that's impossible."

When Kari said this, there was a hint of regret and pity in his tone, as if he were asking why Konoha had become like this.

His words were not meant to be dismissive. Konoha had indeed lost its indomitable momentum and instead seemed to have become somewhat mediocre. To put it simply, Konoha's wars were not fought sharply enough and were dragging on.

In contrast, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are more aggressive, proactive, and militant ninja villages.

The medical ninja didn't reply, but he agreed with Kari's judgment. Facts speak louder than words; since the start of the war, Konoha had indeed not gained any advantage in their battles against Iwagakure... Back then, Konoha's Madara Uchiha alone could overwhelm the Second Tsuchikage and Onoki.

In Konoha now, heroes no longer dwell on their past glories.

At that moment, the medical ninja casually tossed the scalpel in his hand into the tray, making a soft clanging sound.

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes, it's roughly confirmed. Something like a high-density chakra ball that spins at high speed was stuffed into Dongtu's chest. This thing shredded part of his internal organs."

"Chakra...ball?"

Can chakra be rolled into a ball? Does a pure energy body possess this kind of deformation ability? Even if chakra can truly achieve this shape change, how much precise control would the user need?

"It seems that this battlefield novice from Konoha is actually a master of chakra manipulation... We can't give him room to grow any further. Next time we encounter him, we must take him down immediately."

Without Yugen's knowledge, he had already been placed on Iwagakure's list of key targets for surveillance.

"It's alright. These people have penetrated deep into our controlled area, and it won't be so easy for them to return."

…………

Unfortunately, after fighting the Iwagakure ninjas and having their location exposed, the Konoha team neither chose to retreat immediately nor followed the most normal route back as the Iwagakure ninjas had guessed.

They hid right under the noses of the Iwagakure ninja, and even continued to carry out their original mission.

Three days later, Akimichi Torifu and Omori Kairi completed their reconnaissance of another frontline outpost and retrieved another intelligence report. They were very lucky that they did not alert the enemy during this reconnaissance.

So after completing this reconnaissance, the two returned to the cave to rest.

"The second stronghold shows signs of a surprise attack. Our ninjas stationed there engaged in a fierce battle with the Iwagakure ninjas, but were ultimately outnumbered... Judging from the traces left at the scene and the time of our ninjas' deaths, it is very likely that these two strongholds were attacked simultaneously." Akimichi Torifu briefly reported the situation to the two remaining ninjas.

Konoha's reconnaissance outposts are located in extremely dangerous locations, so there is certainly a possibility of them being exposed. However, for two outposts to be exposed at the same time and then destroyed in a surprise attack? It's hard for things to be that coincidental... After completing the reconnaissance of both outposts, the possibility of spies in Konoha's frontline camp is even higher.

"Captain, in that case, is it still necessary to scout the last stronghold?" Uchiha Hazuki asked.

Akimichi Torifu nodded. "It's necessary."

In fact, it is even more necessary, since it involves espionage.

So the two Jonin rested for a night to replenish their strength and chakra before leaving the base again.

However, after leaving this time, the two did not return on time.

The captain's failure to return in time made Yu Xian instinctively feel that something was wrong. He had to consider the extreme possibility that the captain could not return... Without his two teammates, would he be able to cross the battlefield in his current state?

Well, surrendering to Iwagakure is more realistic, but what good can surrender possibly do? Ninjas have all sorts of ways of dealing with prisoners.

In any case, Yugen needs to increase his strength.

The "Nine-Tailed Chaos" dungeon is now ready to be accessed. Although entering the dungeon in the current environment is somewhat dangerous, Yu Xian has no choice but to take the risk.

"Senior Hazuki, I'll take the day shift today, and you can take over tonight, how about that?"

"it is good."

Uchiha Hazuki didn't say much; she simply agreed.

The heavy rain outside continued unabated. There wasn't much difference between being on duty during the day and night. At this moment, Uchiha Hazuki only hoped that the two members of the team could return soon. Otherwise, the agreed deadline would arrive in a few days. If the two teammates still couldn't return by then, Uchiha Hazuki would automatically become the temporary captain, and she would lead Yugen to evacuate on her own.

The waiting time passed slowly. After nightfall, Yu Xuan hid in a corner of the cave and began to rest with his eyes closed. Uchiha Hazuki only glanced at him and then realized that he was sleeping very soundly.

That wasn't just any ordinary sinking, because at that moment, Yu Xian's consciousness had already sunk into the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage instance.

When Yu Xuan opened his eyes again, he found himself back in Konoha Village, still standing in the same spot where he had appeared before.

When he decided to acquire ninjutsu in the dungeon, he suddenly realized something: when he entered the dungeon, a map would load, and he could see the "map" inside the dungeon. This map was incredibly valuable because it could guide Yu Xian to the places he needed to go... such as Konoha's secret jutsu library.

This time, Yugen devised a plan for his actions. He decided to first go to those places to find ninjutsu, and then, if there was enough time, visit the Fourth Hokage and his wife.

After Yu Xian finished checking the map, the Nine-Tails suddenly appeared in Konoha. So, while dodging the Nine-Tails' attacks, he rushed towards the direction of the Hokage's office building.

Boom! Boom!

Under the devastation of the Nine-Tails, buildings in Konoha Village continued to crumble, and the night was filled with the roar of the Nine-Tails and the cries of the ninjas.

But as she ran, Yu Xian suddenly stopped.

He heard a child crying and saw a somewhat familiar figure... There were teammates here too.
