The world I hear is completely different from yours.

"Could it be a fire?" Kohachiro muttered, opening his eyes to look at the Konoha camp across from him, which had become brightly lit at some point.

In the dim light of dawn, Kohachiro saw countless black dots moving in and out of the Konoha camp. At the same time, many huge black pillars were protruding from the Konoha camp, and even more black dots were preparing to rush towards them.

Then Kohachiro rubbed his eyes hard, his mind still reeling, a look of disbelief on his face. Then he jumped up like a madman, rushed to the large clock beside the watchtower, and frantically rang it: "Enemy attack!!!!!"

The sudden, mournful tolling of the bell, like the cawing of countless crows announcing the arrival of death in the night, shattered the dreams of many.

Meanwhile, at the Konoha camp, Tian Qing looked at the electromagnetic rocket launcher standing tall in the camp—a puppet weapon that Konoha's puppet weapon factory had recently passed inspection—and gave the order to fire.

"Fire!!!"

At the command of the rocket launcher commander, hundreds of black warheads soared into the air and sped toward the Sand Ninja camp opposite.

The electromagnetic rocket launcher is a new type of weapon designed by Tianqing and manufactured by the Konoha Puppet Production Department. Nearly twenty units were manufactured in total, and they are all here now.

This electromagnetic rocket launcher is shaped like a giant cylinder, four or five people tall, resembling a thick cannon barrel. Inside the main barrel are dozens of smaller cannon barrels. Therefore, each salvo of the electromagnetic rocket launcher involves these smaller barrels firing a salvo of projectiles, possessing a very strong instantaneous burst of power.

There are no openings for filling ammunition on the gun barrel. Because it uses electromagnetic drive, each barrel is pre-filled with nearly a hundred projectiles. When it fires, the topmost projectile is ejected first, followed by the projectiles below. Moreover, because the ejection of the top projectiles leaves enough space for the projectiles below to accelerate, the projectiles below will be faster than the projectiles above.

This has led to the electromagnetic rocket launcher becoming increasingly powerful, especially when there are only a few warheads left in the barrel, the speed of the warheads is even much faster than the initial warheads.

Therefore, when using electromagnetic rocket launchers to attack distant enemies, an interesting situation arises: while the initial warhead is still flying in the air, the subsequent warheads, relying on their faster speed, gradually catch up with the preceding warheads and eventually arrive at the enemy's position and explode at almost the same time, resulting in a terrifying bombardment coverage.

This weapon is also very easy to operate. Ninjas only need to follow Professor Tianqing's simplified puppet manipulation method, manipulate the puppet core of the weapon through chakra threads, decrypt the code, and then aim and fire it. Afterwards, the formula engraved on the cannon will automatically draw power from the barrier battery to generate electromagnetic force and launch the projectile.

The operator no longer needs to input chakra or monitor the rocket launcher's operation; they can directly wield the knife, which is simple, convenient, and does not weaken the operator's combat power.

After Tian Qing issued the order to launch, it took less than 5 seconds for all twenty electromagnetic rocket launchers to fire their warheads. Tens of thousands of warheads flew through the air like dark clouds summoned by the Grim Reaper, pressing down on the Sand Ninja camp.

Kohachiro was still frantically banging the alarm bell when suddenly he felt the light around him dim. He looked up and saw that a large patch of dark clouds had appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun. The Sand Ninja camp was plunged back into darkness, as if the dead of night had returned.

"What is this?!" Just as Kohachiro was about to scream in panic, countless bullets rained down.

PS: Bonus chapter for monthly pass subscribers, and it's even been released.

There's been a lot going on at the beginning of the month...

Chapter Six: The Longest Day (Part 2)

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!"

Accompanied by countless explosions, tens of thousands of warheads exploded in the Sand Ninja camp.

This projectile is a hollow iron sphere about the size of a human head. A certain amount of minerals are mixed into the outer iron shell, making the electromagnetic propulsion of the projectile more effective and enhancing its impact force. The interior of the sphere contains a large amount of explosive clay, which contains a significant amount of earth and wind style chakra. To produce this explosive clay, Konoha has historically issued numerous missions annually under the name of the Konoha Puppet Factory, hiring chunin and genin from the village to process it. Once the projectile hits its target, the jutsu on the outer shell is activated, detonating the internal clay and causing a terrifying explosion.

Kohachiro dove and rolled into a nearby scaffold. He was lucky enough to escape unscathed, but instead of celebrating, he yelled at a genin struggling on the ground outside, "Moonlight, over here! Come over here quickly!!"

The genin named Tsukimura heard Kohachiro's call and used his hands to pull himself up to the ground, relying on the ninja's amazing arm strength to quickly crawl over. Just as he was about to enter the cover, a bullet fell from the sky and hit him.

"boom!!!"

The high-speed impact of the projectile first shattered Moon Window's chest cavity. Then, the clay inside the projectile was detonated, and the earth and wind chakra fused together, triggering a violent explosion that pulverized Moon Window's body and objects within a radius of several meters. This then formed a huge fireball, burning everything within a radius of tens of meters to ashes, creating an extremely fierce fireball that resembled a cluster of fiery red, vibrantly blooming flowers.

Therefore, the researchers in the Konoha puppet-making department gave it a nice name: Spider Lily.

"Moon Window!!" Kohachiro shouted angrily as he watched the genin Moon Window being instantly engulfed by the fireball. "These damned Konoha bastards! Just yesterday, Moon Window was drinking and chatting with me, saying that we would graze livestock there after we conquered Konoha!!"

"I will avenge you, Moonlight Pavilion," Kohachiro gritted his teeth, hiding in his bunker. Outside, deafening explosions echoed throughout the camp, and countless spider lilies bloomed brilliantly in the Sand Ninja camp, as if Death had specially laid them out to guide countless souls.

.......

Tianqing stood in the Konoha camp, looking at the Sand Ninja camp in the distance through binoculars. In his field of vision, the Sand Ninja were screaming and scattering in all directions after being blown up, wishing they had two more legs.

"These damned Sand Ninja, this is their retribution!" Tianqing felt no pity whatsoever. As a Konoha ninja, he naturally had to maintain his stance. From Konoha's perspective, these Sand Ninja truly deserved it.

Putting aside the fact that both sides are currently at war and will naturally resort to any means necessary, just consider how many times these Sand Ninja have betrayed Konoha throughout history? Every single time, they have unleashed a massacre on Konoha ninjas.

During the First Shinobi World War, the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire were allies, but halfway through the war, the Sand Village stabbed Konoha in the back. In the Second Shinobi World War in the original story, the Sand Village again stabbed Konoha in the Land of Rain. During the Third Shinobi World War, the Land of Wind, as an ally, stabbed Konoha again, though this time it was a quick and decisive attack. Even after Orochimaru's betrayal, the Sand Village, as Konoha's ally, still seized the opportunity to stab Konoha in the back. While part of the reason was Orochimaru using the Kazekage's name, how could Orochimaru have instigated a war based solely on the Kazekage's orders if his subordinates hadn't already harbored a desire for war? Did he really think the Sand Village elders and advisory group were just for show?

Therefore, in the eyes of Tensei, a Konoha ninja, the Land of Wind and the Sand Village were nothing but ingrates. They were like roaming wolves in the desert, constantly coming to Konoha to rob them. If they could defeat Konoha, they would plunder it on a large scale; if they couldn't, they would kneel down and beg for peace, gathering their strength and burying their hatred in their hearts before coming back later.

So, before the war began, after Tianqing explained the power of the Spider Lily bomb and sought the opinions of his Konoha ninja subordinates to discuss whether to use such a terrifying weapon in the war against the Sand Ninja, the Konoha ninjas were surprisingly unanimous: Bomb! Bomb them to death!!

As the explosions in the Sand Ninja camp gradually subsided, Ameharu gave the order for a full-scale attack: "Attack!! Ranged ninja units, attack!"

The second wave of ranged attacks from Konoha is about to begin.

PS: After Gaara took office, the Sand Village fully adopted Konoha's system, which is why things are different from before.

To be honest, Gaara is a truly remarkable leader. His political acumen and governing skills are exceptional. He also possesses the vision and courage to reform the Sand Village, and he even managed to persuade the elders and advisors of the Sand Village to push the reforms forward. Such methods are quite impressive.

Chapter Seven: The Longest Day (Part Two)

Feeling that the firelight outside had dimmed considerably, Kohachiro peeked out from his bunker and saw that the original camp was completely unrecognizable.

The hill where the sentry tower once stood has completely disappeared, leaving only a large crater. The houses and fortifications that once stood in the camp are now in ruins, with only a few remnants barely standing. The surrounding area is littered with charred remains, from which wisps of smoke occasionally rise.

"It seems the attack from Konoha has stopped?" Kohachiro muttered to himself, tiptoeing out from his cover. At the same time, many other ninjas were also peeking out from other covers in the camp.

The quality of the ninja army far surpasses that of an army composed of ordinary people. If it were an army composed of ordinary people, caught off guard in the dead of night and subjected to a long-range bombardment of that intensity and coverage, even if they did not collapse on the spot and scatter in all directions, the astonishing casualties caused by the bombardment would lead to instability in morale and a significant drop in morale.

Given the physical prowess of ninjas, even when suddenly subjected to such a deadly bombardment while asleep, many managed to slip into cover and escape at the last moment. Moreover, after the enemy's attack, with their own side suffering more than half its casualties, most survivors' first thought was not to retreat, but to counterattack.

At this moment, the strict hierarchy among ninjas began to take effect. Genin consciously obeyed Chunin's commands, and Chunin consciously obeyed Jonin's commands. In just a few dozen seconds, the previously chaotic Sand Ninjas regrouped, began distributing weapons, and rebuilt simple fortifications. The entire force operated quickly and methodically, like a wound-up machine.

"Hurry up!! Their attack just now must have consumed a lot of chakra, and they definitely won't be able to launch another ranged attack for a short time! Everyone, take this opportunity to build fortifications and let these damned Konoha bastards taste the wrath of the sandstorm!!" A Jonin shouted from the middle.

Then he noticed Kohachiro standing there blankly: "What are you daydreaming about? Come and help me!"

Kohachiro looked at the Jonin who was shouting at him, and then realized that he could no longer hear anything. He slapped his ears hard, and only heard a buzzing sound in his ears. He guessed that he had been too close to the explosion and the huge sound of the explosion had caused him to temporarily lose his hearing.

However, this was no challenge for Kohachiro, as sign language was a required course for ninjas.

After a few simple gestures, Kohachiro understood the Jonin's order. Just as he was about to join the work as ordered, he saw the Jonin suddenly use a Body Flicker Technique to dart into the nearby cover.

At the same time, the sentry on guard duty shouted, his voice filled with fear: "Enemy attack detected!! It's Konoha's ranged ninjutsu!!"

Then, the previously dim sky brightened again, and various ranged fire and lightning techniques illuminated the sky, drawing dazzling trails against the black background, like an exceptionally grand meteor shower, once again covering the sky above the Sand Ninja's position.

Just a dozen seconds ago, Konoha's vanguard stopped on a small hill some distance from the Sand Ninja's position. The troops then split into two groups. One group of ninjas, responsible for close combat, surrounded and protected the other group of ninjas with weapons. Meanwhile, the other group of ninjas pulled out long gun barrels and aimed them at the Sand Ninja's position in the distance.

This slender, spear-like tube was designed under the leadership of Amehara, manufactured by the Konoha Puppet Production Department, and mass-produced in Konoha's official factories.

The user only needs to grip the butt of the gun and, following the simplified instructions for puppeteers promoted by Konoha, convert their chakra into chakra threads to connect with the puppet core hidden in the butt of the gun to decrypt it. After that, the incantation on the barrel will automatically operate, drawing the user's chakra and converting it into a high-level fire release technique or lightning release technique to be launched.

This method of drawing chakra from a gun barrel and then releasing it as ninjutsu allows most of the Chunin and Genin in the army to unleash advanced offensive ninjutsu. Furthermore, compared to releasing ninjutsu through hand seals, ninjutsu released using a gun barrel has a greater attack range. This gives Konoha ninjas the ability to attack from beyond the range of enemy ranged ninjutsu.

The only drawback is that the chakra conversion efficiency of this gun barrel is very low. Basically, after releasing a high-level ninjutsu, the chakra of the ninja using the gun barrel is almost completely drained, making it impossible for them to participate in the next battle.

Therefore, unlike electromagnetic rocket launchers and the Higanbana projectile, there has been ongoing debate within Konoha's strategic department regarding the use of this chakra gun. Opponents have consistently argued that if a ninja were to expend almost all of their chakra just to fire a single shot, rendering them unable to continue fighting, what would happen if the enemy launched a counterattack? Wouldn't they be left to their fate?

However, Tianqing doesn't think so. He believes that before using the chakra gun, they should first launch a barrage of electromagnetic rockets to destroy the enemy's ranged attack capabilities. Then, some ninjas can use the chakra gun for a second round of ranged attacks, followed by a melee attack by close-combat ninjas. With this three-stage attack, the enemy will have virtually no chance to retaliate, thus minimizing the weaknesses of the chakra gun.

As Tianqing had predicted, the Sand Shinobi were caught completely off guard when the second round of long-range attacks from the Konoha forces arrived just seconds after the first round of rocket artillery barrage.

PS: I recommend adding more chapters.

Someone in the group suggested I write re:0 today, but what if I accidentally write Cthulhu + Silent Hill? Will the fans of the original work come after me? I'm a little scared.

Chapter Eight: The Longest Day (The End)

When hundreds of high-level ranged attack ninjutsu rained down on the Sand Ninja's position, Kohachiro didn't react in time. His ears were damaged by the previous explosions, and he couldn't hear the sentries' warnings. It wasn't until he saw the Sand Ninja fleeing in panic that he came to his senses. He looked up, despairingly gazing at the sky above, illuminated by the numerous ninjutsu as if it were daytime. Just as he was about to take cover, a high-level fire ninjutsu struck, "Boom!!" A newly erected defensive structure collapsed beside him, crushing Kohachiro beneath it.

"Ahhh, help!"

"Where are the medical ninjas?!"

"Run! The enemy is attacking!"

Under the second round of long-range bombardment, the Sand Ninja forces finally collapsed. Many Sand Ninja who were still able to move abandoned all their equipment in a panic and fled frantically to the rear, just to seek a sliver of hope for survival.

"Success!!" Through their binoculars, the commanders of Konoha's strategic command saw the Sand Shinobi fleeing in disarray and excitedly issued the order: "All troops, attack!!"

The Konoha army left a portion of its ninjas behind to protect those who had exhausted their chakra using the chakra guns, and then launched an attack on the Sand Ninja's position. Without encountering even the slightest resistance, they successfully captured the enemy's position.

Kohachiro slowly regained consciousness. "Am I not dead yet?" He licked his chapped lips and tried to move his body. Kohachiro was quite lucky today; the collapsed fortification had only buried him and hadn't hurt him. Instead, it had shielded him from the subsequent ninjutsu attacks.

Kohachiro pushed aside some of the rubble that was pressing down on him and slowly crawled out.

"Crack, crack!" Just as he was about to leave the ruins, Kohachiro suddenly stopped. "There are footsteps outside!" Perhaps because he had been unconscious for a while, he found that his hearing had returned to normal and he could hear the sounds outside.

"Those footsteps...it's those guys from Konoha! They've broken in!" Kohachiro secretly began forming hand seals. Anger made him forget the pain all over his body; now, the only thing left in his mind was hatred!

"Crack, crack!" The footsteps grew closer, ever closer. "Now!" Kohachiro leaped out of the ruins, completing his final hand seal: "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique!!"

A fire dragon suddenly shot out from Kohachiro's finger, then rapidly expanded and grew larger, opening its huge mouth to bite down on the Konoha ninja!

"Die!!" Kohachiro shouted viciously. "Comrades, do you see this? Now Kohachiro is going to avenge you!"

"Serpentine Sword and Shield Form!!"

In that critical moment, amidst Kohachiro's despairing gaze, the Konoha ninja opposite him transformed his sword into a shield, blocking the ninjutsu Kohachiro unleashed with his last chakra.

"Puppet weapon!" Kohachiro recognized the sword, which twisted and turned like a snake. Not long ago, everyone had mocked Konoha's puppet weapons. A country with no history of puppet weapon production had actually started mass-producing puppet weapons and immediately deployed them in battle, especially against the established puppet weapon nation, the Land of Wind. It was utterly laughable.

"Now it seems we are the ones who are ridiculous!" Kohachiro smiled bitterly, closed his eyes resignedly, and then slashed a kunai across his throat, sending him into eternal darkness.

On the first day of the war, relying on puppet weapons that appeared in warfare for the first time, the Land of Fire defeated the first thousand-man unit of the Land of Wind stationed on the border. Nearly 0% of the enemy perished in Konoha's bombardment, most of the rest were taken prisoner, and only less than a hundred Sand Ninja managed to escape. Konoha's army successfully captured the first position within the Land of Wind's territory, and as a result, Konoha's army suffered zero casualties.

Soon after, when intelligence about the war was disseminated, all the countries that received information about casualties on both sides were shocked.

Interlude Uchiha Haruno and her mother

Uchiha Haruno sat at the dining table, head down, eating her rice, ignoring her mother's nagging beside her.

While serving rice, Mom kept nagging, "Yuanye, you're a young woman in your twenties now. It's time to find someone you like. It's wartime now, and many ninjas might have to go to the battlefield. If you don't seize the opportunity, there won't be many good young men left to choose from..."

Uchiha Haruno lowered his head and ate in silence.

"Look at you!" Mom was furious. "All you do is do missions all day long. What do you, a Jonin of the Uchiha clan, need to do so many missions!"

Then the mother smoothed her daughter's hair and said, "You don't look bad at all. Someone should be able to want you. Why are you so shy?"

Several veins bulged on Uchiha Haruno's forehead. Without saying a word, he finished the food in his bowl in a few large bites, stood up, and prepared to leave: "I'm full."

"You child!" The mother cried, tears welling in her eyes. "Now that you're all grown up, you've become so independent, and you even get impatient with your mother's words... 5555"

Uchiha Haruno looked at her mother speechlessly. "You're an elite Uchiha Jonin, do you really need to use such clumsy acting on your own daughter?"

Left with no other option, Uchiha Haruno shrugged and said, "Tell me the specific location and person for the blind date."

So Mom immediately stopped crying and started laughing, with a "plan succeeded" expression on her face.

The next day, Uchiha Haruno stood there blankly, arms outstretched, letting his mother wrap him in a kimono.

As she wrapped the clothes, Mom nagged, "When you meet them later, remember to speak gently and behave like a lady. Don't scare them. Just like you usually talk to that Hyuga girl..."

Suddenly, Mom looked up, her face full of suspicion: "Speaking of which, why were you so gentle in front of that Hyuga girl? Let me tell you, no matter how submissive you are as an Uchiha, you can't be submissive in front of Hyuga."
