Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

…………

The northeastern battlefield of the Land of Fire, one of the front-line battlefields.

The ninjas of Kumogakure and Konoha engaged in a fierce battle.

The Cloud Ninja's Lightning Release chakra exploded in the air with a deafening roar, and several ninjas, surrounded by arcs of electricity, rushed into the Leaf Village's defenses at an extremely fast speed.

The leading Jonin stomped his foot on the ground and hurled the lightning spear he had gathered, aiming it at the group of Konoha ninja in front of him.

The Chunin in the front row didn't have time to dodge and was sent flying backward with a muffled groan. The lightning spear pierced through his chest, and he lost his life.

"Spread out! Don't let them get close!" the Konoha team leader roared, his shuriken, imbued with wind-style chakra, flying in a fan shape.

Suddenly, two Cloud Ninja rushed out, their palms filled with Lightning Release chakra, and easily swatted away the shuriken.

Just then, three Cloud Ninja appeared in the distance.

"The First Hokage has ordered that the battle be ended before Konoha reinforcements arrive!"

A burly middle-aged man with dark skin, a long beard, and a topknot shouted.

He looked at the Konoha ninjas in the distance, his body crackling with lightning chakra, and with a loud shout, he charged into the crowd at an extremely fast speed.

"Thunder Plow Hot Knife!"

The two Cloud Ninjas curled their lip as they watched the burly man charge into the battlefield.

"Little brother, let this guy wear down Konoha first, then we'll make our move later."

"Okay, brother!"

Clearly, neither of them intended to engage in combat immediately.

……

"Damn it, it's that guy again!"

The Konoha ninjas looked on in terror as they watched the burly man charging towards them.

The Cloud Ninjas were filled with fighting spirit when they saw the strong man coming to their aid.

In an instant, the Konoha ninjas were forced into a series of defeats.

Just when they were about to give up, reinforcements finally arrived.

"Uchiha! The Uchiha clan has arrived!"

The Konoha ninja breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the reinforcements were from the Uchiha clan.

With the Uchiha clan joining the fight, we are confident we can withstand the Cloud Ninja's attack.

As expected, Konoha stopped its decline after the Uchiha reinforcements arrived.

The burly man, seeing Konoha's reinforcements arriving, had no intention of retreating.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

He roared and launched his attack, and the other Cloud Ninja followed suit.

"Tsk tsk, this guy is really a brute."

“Brother is right, this guy is a brute.”

"Hmph, since that's the case, let's go down and have a go too."

"Okay, brother."

If Renya were present, she would definitely recognize that the two were the culprits who would later kill Tobirama Senju.

The Golden Horn and Silver Horn of Hidden Cloud Village.

The burly man who charged into the battlefield earlier was none other than the future Second Raikage of Kumogakure.

Chapter 143 Heading to Provide Support

Inside the Konoha command post tent.

"Clan Chief Tanaka, your Uchiha clan still needs to provide support at three locations." The battlefield commander pointed to the locations on the map.

"Has the rest of the village's support not arrived yet?" Uchiha Tanaka asked, his face grim.

In the past few days, those reckless brutes from Kumogakure have been charging like madmen, causing heavy losses to the Konoha ninja.

The Uchiha clan also suffered significant casualties.

But now the commander is also ordering him to send his own people to provide support.

If this continues, the overall combat strength of the Uchiha clan will definitely be greatly reduced!

The commander, a member of the Nara clan, saw through Uchiha Tanaka's thoughts and advised him:

"Chief Tanaka, the other clans are on their way, and we'll receive reinforcements soon..."

Uchiha Tanaka paused for a moment, then said, "I will send my clansmen to provide support."

With that, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, flicked his sleeves, and left.

The chieftains of the other tribes were also inside the tent.

They watched Uchiha Tanaka's departing figure and couldn't help but curl their lips in disapproval.

"Heh, are they the only ones who suffered heavy casualties?" one of the clan leaders said unhappily.

"Just bear with it. Who can blame us for the Uchiha clan's strength?"

"Uchiha Tanaka is a self-righteous idiot."

Seeing that things were not going well, Commander Nara quickly changed the subject, "Clan leaders, I will now assign you your tasks."

Upon hearing this, the clan leaders stopped their discussion.

…………

Uchiha Tanaka left the camp and found his clansmen resting.

"Lord Patriarch."

When the Uchiha clan members saw Tanaka approaching, they all stood up to greet him.

“We need to go to the battlefield to provide support, and I will go with you this time,” said Uchiha Tanaka.

"Understood!" the Uchiha clan members responded in unison.

"The wounded stay behind, the rest of you follow me!"

Dozens of Uchiha clan members split into three groups and headed to their respective battlefields.

As soon as the Uchiha clan members left, the other clan leaders came out of their tents.

Without any hesitation, they led their people to the battlefield to provide support.

Commander Nara rubbed his temples and murmured, "Judging by the time, the reinforcements from the Kirigakure and Iwagakure battlefields should be arriving soon, right?"

Since the war broke out between Kirigakure and Iwagakure, Konoha ninjas from both battlefields have been going to the northeastern battlefield to provide support.

Some have arrived in the last couple of days, and the rest of the main force is on its way.

To prevent Kirigakure and Iwagakure from launching a sudden attack on Konoha, 30% of the troops need to be left behind to guard both battlefields.

The rest, aside from the wounded, are arriving in droves.

Upon learning the news, the Cloud Ninja launched a massive attack.

They wanted to completely take control of the northeastern battlefield before Konoha's reinforcements arrived.

Faced with the full-scale attack of the Cloud Ninja, the existing forces were unable to withstand it, resulting in heavy casualties.

But reinforcements are arriving soon.

Once the main force arrives, Konoha will be able to launch a counterattack.

Thinking of this, Commander Nara's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

……

Inside the Cloud Hidden Command Camp.

"Damn it, damn it! Are Iwagakure and Kirigakure idiots?" The First Raikage grew angrier the more he thought about it and couldn't help but roar loudly.

If only Iwagakure and Kirigakure hadn't been fighting each other, they could have launched a joint attack on Konoha and dispersed Konoha's forces.

They, the Hidden Cloud Village, could have slowly worn down Konoha and then taken over the northeastern battlefield at minimal cost.

As a result, Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu's actions relieved the pressure on Konoha.

More troops were deployed to the Northeast battlefield.

Now the pressure on Konoha has fallen on Kumogakure.

The First Raikage knew that once Konoha's reinforcements arrived in full force, it would be very difficult for Kumogakure to defeat Konoha.

Therefore, we should take advantage of this time and spare no effort to win the Northeast battlefield.

However, Konoha's tenacious resistance left him feeling helpless.

So he sent his personal bodyguards to the battlefield, and even dispatched two veteran elite Jonin from the village—the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers.

They originally thought that with the addition of the three men, they would be able to take over the Northeast battlefield quickly.

But the intelligence from his subordinates enraged him: reinforcements from the other two battlefields in Konoha were about to arrive.

Therefore, it will be difficult for them to defeat Konoha in a short period of time.

The First Raikage grew angrier the more he thought about it, and in a fit of rage, he smashed the solid wood desk with a single blow.

"I want to see what's going on in Iwagakure and Kirigakure!"

He wanted to find Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu, and get them to stop fighting amongst themselves so they could divide up the Land of Fire together.

So, the First Raikage left the battlefield with a few guards.

…………

Meanwhile, on the front lines, Kinkaku and Ginkaku learned from their confidants that the First Raikage had left.

"Brother, the Raikage has left the camp." Silverhorn's eyes gleamed. "This is an opportunity for us..."

Upon hearing this, Golden Horn revealed a sinister smile. "My brother is right. As long as this old bastard dies, we can launch a war against other countries!"

Both men were ruthless and cunning, and they had a great fondness for war and killing.

They wanted to kill the First Raikage and frame Konoha for it.

In this way, the war between the two villages will not stop.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn exchanged a glance and both revealed smug smiles.

In a secluded corner where no one could see them, the two quietly left the battlefield.

…………

On their journey, Renye and his two companions encountered Konoha ninjas heading to provide support.

Looking at the hundreds of ninjas, Lianye frowned slightly.

The fact that that old bastard Tobirama Senju dispatched so many reinforcements at once can only mean that the situation on the battlefield is extremely dire.

The Hidden Cloud Village is definitely very strong; the war probably won't end anytime soon.

Danzo Shimura's expression was rather grim, given the large number of people who had gone to the battlefield to provide support.

This means that the number of enemies he kills will decrease, and the amount of merit points he gains will also decrease...

No, I must kill more enemies on the battlefield!

Danzo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a thirst for glory.

Every battle achievement accumulated now will become a solid foundation on the path to becoming Hokage in the future.

After all, the position of Hokage requires not only powerful ninjutsu, but also prestige built up through battle achievements.

…………

Lianye and the other two followed the main force and soon arrived at the battlefield.
