Naruto: My setting is above yours.

However, in terms of individual soldier quality, Konoha absolutely surpasses Iwagakure.

Therefore, the use of group combat by Iwagakure not only allows them to better utilize the advantages of Earth Release, but also makes up for the shortcomings of lower individual abilities.

After the meeting, everyone acted quickly.

Jiraiya summoned the toads of Mount Myōboku and asked them to deliver battlefield intelligence to Konoha.

Genma used Wood Release to build a large number of wooden houses.

Some people wanted to stay, and this place would become a temporary base, so they would live in wooden huts.

In addition to the wooden houses, Genma also built tall towers around the camp as watchtowers.

"Lord Xuanma is so thoughtful!"

A chunin watched and couldn't help but sigh.

"Going on missions with Lord Genma must be very enjoyable, right?"

"If only we could become Lord Genma's subordinates, maybe we could even turn into birds and fly in the sky!"

Chapter 108 Stirring, Spreading

A dozen minutes later, Genma and Yamashiro Aoba followed the main force to the border of the Land of Fire.

Upon arriving here, Jiraiya divided the troops into two parts. Apart from the sensory squad, one part stayed behind to build a defensive line, while the other part went out to cross the border and eliminate the Iwagakure stronghold.

From the Land of Earth to the Land of Fire, Iwagakure had previously established numerous outposts along the border of the three countries to ensure logistical supply lines.

Now that Iwagakure has retreated hastily, they certainly didn't have time to take their supplies with them, and may have even destroyed them.

These supplies and strongholds obviously cannot be left to Iwagakure.

The other ninja teams had their own missions, but Genma and Yamashiro Aoba continued to rest.

Inside the wooden house built by the Wood Release, Genma continued to study the laws of heaven and earth.

Aoba from the neighboring Yamashiro is also trying to develop his bloodline limit.

Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake each transformed into a falcon and flew through the air to scout the area around Iwagakure.

I also learned to fly.

Medical team camp.

After listening to the wounded soldier's description of the battle situation at the front, Tsunade couldn't help but sneer: "Trying to show off again!"

"That idiot Jiraiya actually let him fight alone!"

Although the ending was good, Tsunade was still deeply shaken by the battle results.

The person who had been worried the whole time breathed a sigh of relief.

Fennel smiled and said, "I knew Lord Xuanma would be alright."

Actually, when she heard that Yufeng Genma was facing the Iwa ninja army alone, her heart was in her throat.

Stepping out of the tent, Tsunade said to Fennel, "Get ready. If there are no problems, get the medical team moving as soon as possible."

Fennel nodded and immediately turned to make the arrangements.

Shizune quickly said, "I'll go help too."

Watching the two leave, Tsunade curled her lip.

Both of them were on that bastard's side.

However, with both of Iwagakure's Jinchūriki and their commander dead, Iwagakure now faces two choices: either cease hostilities or...

Will the Third Tsuchikage go to the battlefield?

Tsunade frowned.

She decided to hand over the medical team's duties to others after the transfer, and then go to the front lines herself.

……

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

Upon hearing that the toads of Mount Myōboku had arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately tensed up, and a host of unpleasant thoughts flooded his mind.

While transmitting information through Mount Myōboku is very convenient, it is not a commonly used method. Jiraiya did this, which must mean that something huge has happened at the front.

The Xuanma Squad only went today, and they probably haven't even arrived at the battlefield yet.

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel worried.

Soon, Sarutobi Shinnosuke arrived at the Hokage's office with the messenger toad from Mount Myōboku.

The messenger toad jumped onto the Hokage's desk: "Third Hokage, Jiraiya asked me to deliver intelligence from the front lines. The Iwa ninja have been defeated, and the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki have been killed by Genma. Additionally, Iwa ninja commander Kurenai is also dead."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shinnosuke Sarutobi were both taken aback.

Isn't this bad news?

They won?

Wait, didn't Yu Feng Xuan Ma just set off this morning?

Both the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki are dead.

hiss~

Shinnosuke Sarutobi gasped.

Although he knew that Genma Mikazuki was very strong, extremely strong, even stronger than Sakumo Hatake, or any of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

But killing both the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki at the same time is just too astonishing and outrageous!

Hiruzen Sarutobi reacted quickly, immediately asking, "Do you have specific battle information?"

The messenger toad nodded: "Jiraiya has already mentioned part of it."

He immediately relayed what Jiraiya had said.

One man can hold off a thousand troops.

Wood Release techniques blocked the attack of the Iwa ninja.

He single-handedly fought two Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts, forcing them to release their beasts, and then killed them after defeating them.

During the pursuit, they killed the Iwa ninja commander, Kurotsuchi, who was covering their retreat.

The outcome of the war was entirely decided by one person.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but exclaim, "That's...that's incredibly powerful!"

He believed that even his own father, the Third Hokage before him, could not have done this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, like his son, was quite shocked, as if he were hearing about the results of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju's battle.

But he immediately assessed the significance and impact of the war.

With the Jinchuriki and the commander dead, and given the fighting prowess demonstrated by Genma, Iwagakure only has two choices: end the war with Konoha completely, or send a large-scale reinforcement.

As for the latter, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to consider whether the Third Tsuchikage would appear on the battlefield like the Third Raikage.

A large-scale troop increase would inevitably affect the situation on other battlefields in Iwagakure.

The entire situation of the Ninja World War will be changed as a result.

Most importantly, with the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse there, unless the Hidden Rock Sect deploys the vast majority of its forces, there's no need to worry about the situation there.

After sending away the messenger toad, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately issued an order to spread the news of the victory.

First is Amegakure.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was unhappy that Amegakure had launched a war against Kusagakure without authorization, the die was cast. Amegakure was now facing simultaneous attacks from Kusagakure and Iwagakure, and needed a major victory from Konoha to boost morale.

Furthermore, this great victory might serve as a deterrent to Kusagakure, mediating the war between Amegakure and Kusagakure, allowing Amegakure to focus all its efforts on dealing with Iwagakure's attack.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished making his arrangements, Shinnosuke Sarutobi asked, "Is it possible that the Third Tsuchikage will go to the battlefield?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned: "Given Onoki's personality, this possibility is not small if we invade the Land of Earth."

However, he had just instructed the messenger toad to tell Jiraiya that he should not launch a large-scale invasion of the Land of Earth.

Especially the Wind-Riding Black Horse, must not venture deep into the Land of Earth.

"Unfortunately, if we could capture two Jinchuriki, we could use that to stop the war in Iwagakure."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

Of course, he didn't mean to blame Yu Feng Xuan Ma.

The battlefield situation is complex, and the tailed beast jinchūriki are extremely dangerous, making it much more difficult to capture them than to kill them.

After a moment of contemplation, Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Shinnosuke Sarutobi, "Shinnosuke, you lead the team there. If the Third Tsuchikage appears on the battlefield, immediately have Enma deliver the information. I will go there myself!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "Yes!"

He also felt that the Third Tsuchikage was very likely to appear on the front lines of the battlefield.

……

It was evening.

Inside the Tsuchikage's office in the Tsuchikage Building of Iwagakure Village.

Onoki suddenly stood up, his eyes wide: "What?"

"Old Zi and Han both died in battle?"

"How is this possible? Could it be that the Third Hokage personally intervened?"

"Even if he personally intervened, he couldn't possibly kill them!"

"what happened?"

The ANBU ninja in charge of the report quickly replied, "Lord Tsuchikage, it's not the Third Hokage, it's Konoha's Ranga Genma!"

Onoki gritted his teeth: "That brat?"
