Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

It is obvious that he has the spirit of letting others clean up his mess even after his death. I can only say that the name is worthy of his name and he is different from ordinary people.

Although Kikyo Castle spread the news of "internal ninja rebellion and death of daimyo" with greater force, more explosiveness and more eye-catching manner the next day, there was no guarantee that the previous news would not be collected by Lingdang Castle.

In any case, perhaps the crisis in Kikyo City gave the other party an opportunity to unify the "Kawagen Kingdom".

As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. When certain conditions appear, war will break out in a way that is beyond human control.

"The anti-tracking ninjas we sent out didn't dare to follow too far. The ninjas from the hostile forces always changed direction when they evacuated, so we can't determine their source for the time being." Chihori said.

After all, it was because our shortcomings were too obvious...

Yu Zhen had no choice but to change the question: "How strong are the ninjas in Lingdang City?"

"Very strong. Perhaps their individual maximum combat power is not as good as that of the Earthly Blame Yulu you defeated, but the ninjas of Lingdang City follow the path of a small elite... Therefore, due to their own special circumstances, they are often more defensive than offensive."

"Maintaining the status quo?"

Yu Zhenxin said that there are such ninjas? What kind of future can a ninja who doesn't attack but focuses on defense have?

He decided to go and investigate the enemy's situation himself.

However, when Yu Zhen saw the so-called "minority elites", his expression immediately became strange.

At the same time, he overturned his previous judgment - even a ninja who focused on defense could be a very promising ninja.

The conflict that is about to happen may not necessarily be a bad thing.

After confirming the origins of those ninjas, Yuzhen finally understood why his own ninjas were able to quickly detect that hostile forces were infiltrating Kikyo Castle...

Although the ninjas of the Firefly Organization are only average in their ability to gather intelligence, the enemy's infiltration capabilities are catastrophic.

Those ninjas were big and strong, and looked more like sumo wrestlers than ninjas.

Their body shapes were so iconic that they made Yu Zhen have certain associations, but more importantly, the ninjas who sneaked in did not disguise themselves at all. There was often a circle painted on the breastplate they wore, with the word "food" written inside the circle.

To be honest, although Yu Zhen had the original work as a "source of intelligence", there were not many ninja clan emblems or symbols that he could directly recognize. However, because the symbol in front of him was so recognizable, there was no reason for him not to recognize it - it belonged to the Akimichi clan.

The ninja force in Lingdang City is actually the Akimichi clan?

Damn, isn't this group a bit silly? No wonder they are a "minority".

Let’s not talk about why the Akimichi clan is so powerful that they are like “tigers crouching and dragons coiling” in the city. The individual strength of this clan’s ninjas is certainly very strong, but it’s not impossible to deal with them because their fighting style is relatively simple... The question now is whether the Ino-Shika-Cho system has been formed.

If the three ninja clans, Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi, were to be combined, the strength of the team would be extremely exaggerated, but if this combination has not yet been formed, then things would be relatively simple.

The Ino-Shika-Cho is very strong, but a bunch of Akimichi combined together to perform "Butterfly Shadows" is not difficult to deal with.

Yu Zhen originally wanted to fight a war of annihilation and use a bloody battlefield to welcome the invading enemy, but now he quickly changed his mind.

Ninja clans like the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi were the most solid force of the Hokage faction in the later Konoha era. It can be said that it was because of the support of these ninja clans that the Hokage was able to become Hokage.

So the question is, if Akimichi can become the backbone of the Hokage faction, can't he also become the backbone of the Yinghuo faction? It doesn't make sense.

Yu Zhen really said, am I better than Senju Hashirama... Well, in short, there is no sign of "great reconciliation" between Senju and Uchiha, and it is still a long time before Konoha is formed, so what Yu Zhen did is definitely not intercepting, nor is it a third party interfering.

Instead, it is time for the Akimichi clan to demonstrate what it means when a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in.

Compared with the ninjas of the Akimichi clan, Yu Zhen's stealth and tracking abilities were top-notch. He followed an Akimichi ninja who came to collect intelligence, and no matter how the other party tried to take a detour, he eventually discovered that the man had indeed returned to Lingdang Castle.

Yes, that's right.

Yu Zhen did not make any unnecessary moves, but on his way back from Lingdang City, he had already thought about how to fight the next battle.

Simply put, there will definitely not be rivers of blood, and he has to find a way to turn the brutal war into a friendly match.

Don't be impatient, you might have to capture and release him seven times.

Then there are the political factors to consider…

When Yuzhen returned to Kikyo Castle, he found that all the ninjas in the organization were very serious. Even those with slightly radical personalities like Morinaga Isaka and Hayasaka Ryunosuke were planning to forcibly transplant the Earth Grudge Tentacles and prepare to mutate on the battlefield.

"What happened?" he asked immediately after seeing this.

"The Daimyo of Lingdang Castle has sent a formal declaration of war." Uchiha Nanami explained to Yuzhen.

"Declaration of war?"

This incomprehensible word appeared in Yu Zhen's mind. Because the matter was so bizarre, he was stunned.

Everyone is stealing insidiously, why is it that you are so open and aboveboard?

The painting style of Lingdang City doesn't seem right. Is there something wrong?

"So you're talking about martial ethics?"

Qimei shook her head a little bewilderedly. She had never seen such a thing anyway.

Yu Zhen took the letter of declaration of war. This thing should have been given directly to the acting city lord, but the other party was just a mascot, so it naturally appeared in Yu Zhen's hands.

What was written above were nothing more than the reasons such as the reputation of Daimyo Reidang was damaged, Daimyo Kikyo's death was unclear, there was only one legitimate ruler in Kawagen Province, and so on. In short, in order to safeguard their own legitimate interests, they had to declare war on Kikyo Castle, leaving this side to wait and see.

Of course, they didn't go so far as to specify the date and place for the decisive battle, otherwise it would seem too stupid... Well, specifying the battle location and even the participants in the battle, this is what Yu Zhen has to do next.

"Alliance leader, are we going to mobilize for war? The enemy could attack at any moment. Fortunately, we have enough weapons stored..."

This time even Fuma Goro was eager to fight, because he didn't want to lose the shelter he had just obtained.

Yu Zhen pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to calm down:

"Everyone, don't get excited. This battle is different from the past. You don't need to go to the battlefield. In fact, you just need to stay vigilant to prevent any sneak attacks from the enemy."

As he said that, Yu Zhen looked at Uchiha Nanami. He needed to go out to fight, and the responsibility of protecting the safety of the nest needed to be handed over to Nanami... As everyone knows, because Yu Zhen is good at stealing homes, he is afraid of having his home stolen.

Qimei understood what he meant, so he nodded silently.

"As for finding the enemy's weaknesses and waiting for an opportunity to defeat them, I will be solely responsible... If handled properly, this will actually be a great opportunity for us to expand our strength."

Everyone was confused, except Fuma Goro, who felt a chill on the back of his head for some reason.

"Alliance leader, according to the intelligence we've received, the enemy is very strong and can be called an elite ninja. If you rely on yourself..."

"No problem, I'm fighting the elite."

In fact, few people questioned Yu Zhen's battle plan, because this combat method of large troops on standby while he acts alone or leads a very small number of people has always been Yu Zhen's style, and everyone has almost become accustomed to it.

Yu Zhen chose to act alone. On the one hand, this was his battle plan, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid casualties.

Because his goal was to smoothly annex and integrate the Akimichi clan.

No matter which side it is, if even one person dies, the difficulty of operating this matter will increase dramatically.

However, Yu Zhen was not so arrogant as to treat the Akimichi clan as fools and think that they were puppets at his mercy. Before launching the outdoor operation, he worked out a very detailed and strict internal defense plan with Nanami, Goro and others.

So much so that at night, the Firefly Organization's residential area still seemed unusually noisy.

Date Kamaya, the supreme ruler of Kikyo Castle, was sitting by the window on the top floor of the castle tower, which had been largely restored. He let the night breeze blow and fully enjoyed the good life.

The noise below the city distracted him a little. He had a puzzled expression on his face and wondered what was going on.

He would never have imagined that his own armed forces were about to be mobilized and launched a total war, but he, the acting city lord, knew nothing about it.

Chapter 83: A Man of Martial Virtue

After making arrangements for internal security and defense, Yu Zhen immediately moved forward, ready to give full play to his advantages and use his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

To be honest, he is now extremely glad that he did not follow the order of Daimyo Kikyo to attack Lingdang Castle. At that time, he did not know that the ninjas of Lingdang Castle were from the Akimichi clan. If he accidentally assassinated one of their clansmen, how could they still be friends?

Now he is ready to reciprocate with Lingdang City.

Sending a declaration of war was a bit stupid. Yu Zhen didn't know whether it was the idea of ​​the Daimyo of Lingdang Castle or the Akimichi clan. In short, his train of thought was very strange.

But since the other party has martial ethics, Yu Zhen has to be even more martial... To be honest, Yu Zhen was overtaken by it. He originally planned to practice martial ethics first.

Taking advantage of the night, he rushed towards Lingdang City again.

At the same time, in Lingdang City.

Three ninjas from the Akimichi clan are serving as daimyo at the audience ridge.

Facts have proved that the Akimichi clan is not the one with clear ideas. Although the Akimichi clan is not good at conspiracies and intrigues, it does not mean that they do not understand that ninjas can only achieve a killing blow better in the dark.

"Damyo, since we are planning to take military action against Kikyo Castle, how can you directly expose our combat intentions? A declaration of war will only make the enemy more vigilant." The leading Akimichi ninja said helplessly.

He is extremely strong. If the Akimichi clan is described as that, then in comparison, this ninja's size is at least that of an old mother who can give birth to more than ten babies at a time.

There was some exasperation in his tone, because he had no idea how the daimyo operated.

Is it micromanagement? Even if Daimyo is not bald, does he have the ability to micromanage the battlefield?

"Haha, I just feel that we haven't taken any foreign combat operations for a long time, so I want to create some sense of ceremony." The young daimyo said with a smile.

How can one describe this daimyo's personality, which is free and easy, even eccentric? He seems like the type to do whatever he wants.

But contrary to his superficial personality, this daimyo was not a fool, nor was he casual. In fact, he was very shrewd and did things with purpose.

He had serious internal reasons for directly declaring war.

In addition, he knew his own ninjas better, so he did not trust the Akimichi clan's ability to hide and infiltrate... The possibility of the Akimichi clan being exposed in the process of finding out the news of Kikyo City was much greater than the possibility of not being exposed.

The daimyo has already read the report submitted by the Akimichi clan on the armed forces of Kikyo City, and can only say that the intelligence content is a bit rough.

"In the upcoming battle, please do not interfere. You do not understand war and will only make matters worse and cause more trouble."

"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand. This won't happen again. I'll leave the rest to you."

The young daimyo slumped in his chair. Even when he was directly criticized by his subordinates, he just laughed and didn't get angry at all.

To be honest, if this person died on the spot, we could have carved the word "嘻" (play) on his forehead... This person is either extremely smart or extremely ridiculous.

The three ninjas spoke a few more words, and after taking full control of the battle, they received a strict guarantee from the daimyo that he would never interfere, and then they left the castle tower.

These three people are brothers of the Qiumichi clan, named Qiumichi Renqing, Qiumichi Guiyue, and Qiumichi Shenyu. Among them, Renqing is the eldest brother and is also the patriarch of the Qiumichi clan at this time.

After his battle intentions were leaked by the unfortunate daimyo, Akimichi Jinqing had no choice but to arrange defense matters first to prevent his side from being caught off guard by a surprise attack from Kikyo Castle.

All I can say is that Akimichi Renqing's idea is good, but it just doesn't have any effect.

Even if the Akimichi clan can make the defense of the castle tower as impregnable as an iron wall, it will still look like a place full of holes in Yu Zhen's eyes...Except for some special barriers, purely physical means and human defense cannot stop Yu Zhen.

Anyway, there's no way another ball of yarn can be stuffed into the walls here...

It was late at night and Yu Zhen had already sneaked into the castle tower of Lingdang Castle.

He made a rough count and found that there were a total of ten ninjas left in the castle tower. They were all from the Akimichi clan. Perhaps because the war was about to break out, the defense here was very strict.

In fact, the defensive force deployed in the castle tower was far greater than before. At this time, the total number of combat-capable ninjas of the Akimichi clan was just over twenty, and half of them were crammed into the castle tower.

The Akimichi clan is indeed a minority of elites. Their number is not even as large as that of the former Hamiya Gen clan. No matter how small the Hamiya Gen clan is, it can still form a village.

However, numbers do not represent everything. The fighting power of Hanemiya Gen and Akimichi is completely incomparable.

In accordance with the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, Yu Zhen first slipped a reply letter into the room where the daimyo lived. This was his second time here, so he was quite familiar with the place.

Then Yuzhen approached the Akimichi ninjas who were on duty one by one, and interacted with them calmly.

After doing all this, he did not take any further action and chose to withdraw from Lingdang City directly.

Next, he will return to Platycodon City to recuperate and wait for the implementation of the next plan.

…………

After a peaceful night, the Daimyo of Lingdang Castle woke up on time. The war was about to break out, but he did not feel any tension and his daily routine remained the same as usual.

Until he saw the letter placed next to his bed.

Of course there is something wrong with this letter. Who in their right mind would stuff an envelope into a daimyo's bed?

However, after just a moment of hesitation, the daimyo immediately opened the letter. He hurriedly read the contents of the letter, and his expression immediately became strange... For some reason, he felt that this person who called himself "Yuzhen" seemed to be able to resonate with him.

Mom, I sent a declaration of war and you just replied, right?

"Where are the ninjas who were on duty last night? Call them all over... and notify Mr. Renqing to come over immediately." The daimyo gave the order immediately.

Under his command, ten Akimichi ninjas who had not had time to get off work quickly came to him.

At this time, the Akimichi ninjas didn't know what was happening. After the daimyo circled around a ninja, he found a small red note stuck on the other person's waist.

"what is this?"

The daimyo peeled off the note, which looked very ordinary and harmless.

Then, without waiting for anyone else to answer, he immediately asked, "Check each other. Does anyone else have it?"

As a result, everyone had such a note stuck on them. This situation made them look at each other in confusion, and some bad thoughts emerged involuntarily.

The stickers are indeed harmless, but they are extremely insulting.
