From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Who made the Konoha Village so arrogant and domineering, always thinking of themselves as the big brother of the ninja world, not only do they want to take all the benefits, but they also want fame!

It's typical that a whore wants to be a virtuous woman.

Of course, if the Sand Village really wants to go to war with the Konoha Village, this amount of manpower will not be enough, unless they can assassinate the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

However, the Third Kazekage knew it was impossible after thinking about it. How could the Third Kage of the strongest village in the Ninja World be killed so easily?

-

It was around one o'clock in the morning, when most of the villagers in Konoha Village were sleeping soundly.

In the Hatake family's house, Hatake Tachibana, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

A strange ninja entered his alert range!

Well, the alert range of Tachibana when he is sleeping is about one kilometer, and the strange ninja he is referring to is not a ninja from Konoha Village.

After waking up, Hatake Tachibana immediately took the initiative to control the infinite perception system and scanned this team of strange ninjas...

In just one second, Hatake Tachibana saw clearly the underwear of these ninjas.

The elite ninja team from Konoha's ally at this time, the Sand Village!

Among them, there are no Genin, there are eight ninjas whose chakra capacity has reached the elite Chunin level, and there are four ninjas whose chakra capacity has reached the Jonin level. Among the four Jonin, the leading two are obviously much stronger, and probably have the chakra capacity of the elite Jonin level.

Thinking of this, Ju carefully looked at the two leading ninjas.

Are these the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo from Sand Village, and the parents of Scorpion?

Well, they were still two insignificant plot characters who were hacked to death by his good brother, Hatake Sakumo.

Since they were destined to be killed by his good brother Hatake Sakumo, Hatake Tachibana had no intention of interfering in other people's business and provoking them. As long as these people were not so blind as to step into the Hatake family's house, then there would be no problem.

If they really broke in, they could only blame their bad luck. After all, the good big brother was still on duty in the Anbu at that time, and they were the only ones left at home, the old, weak, women and children...

Sensing this group of Sandagakure ninjas gradually moving away from the Hatake family, Hatake Tachibana just looked out the window and sighed softly:

"For Konoha, the real war is about to come. Should I do something?"

Without hesitating for long, Hatake Tachibana shook his head. Although he couldn't sweep the entire ninja world now, his strength was enough to rival the "Super Kage" level. In this Naruto world, it was still enough for him to show off during the Second Ninja World War.

However, what Hatake Tachibana understood better was that his main task in the Naruto world should still be to practice and comprehend chakra in order to improve his own strength.

Pretending to be this kind of thing doesn't help him improve his strength at all. Of course, if he were to fight purely with chakra strength, it wouldn't be impossible.

You know, the upper limit of chakra power is not low, if you refer to the later Otsutsuki clan.

He is even stronger than when he was at his peak, and it just so happens that in his previous life in the pirate world, his three colors of domineering power had been combined into one and advanced to the level of colorless domineering, reaching the point where there could be no further improvement.

What if in this Naruto world, he could combine the characteristics of the two powers, colorless domineering that is developed more towards the physical side, and chakra that is developed more towards the spiritual side!

Will he create a force that breaks conventions and previous ceilings?

The body and the spirit are sublimated together?

Of course, the prerequisite for achieving this is that his chakra must also be cultivated to the level of colorless domineering power, right?

To achieve the same chakra level as the colorless domineering, Hatake Tachibana estimated that he would have to rely on himself to comprehend chakra and cultivate it to the "Six Paths" level...

Like many anime characters in the original work, Hatake Tachibana does not really approve of reaching the Six Paths level with the help of external forces. Power that is not under your control will eventually leave you.

As for how he is going to rely on his own strength to cultivate his chakra to the Six Paths level, Tachibana has no idea for the time being, but he is not in a hurry. This problem should be solved after he relies on himself to cultivate the power of chakra step by step to the Super Shadow level.

Of course, talent is equally important. He was born with the 3.0 Thunder Breathing Technique markings on his body. To put it in an analogy, he is like the "innate Taoist body" in fantasy novels. He is born with all his meridians open and his physical fitness is excellent.

His affinity for lightning attribute is directly maxed out. With this kind of physical aptitude, plus the powerful souls of several worlds that have been accumulated and polished by Tachibana, from the perspective of cultivation aptitude, he is no weaker than the son of Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, right?

However, only with this kind of talent can one achieve that level purely by relying on oneself without relying on external forces!

If this prerequisite is not met, we should use some external force, or we should use some!

...

That night, there was no major disturbance in Konoha Village due to the infiltration of the elite ninja team from the Sand Village.

However, since that night, the title of Konoha White Fang!

It also began to truly resound throughout the ninja world...

Facing these twelve elite ninjas from the Sand Village alone, the "White Fang", the sharpest sword of Konoha Village, only swung twice!

The Red Sand Scorpion became an orphan.

Old lady Chiyo was the one who sent off the young man with white hair.

The remaining ten elite ninjas from the Sand Village could not withstand many blows from Hatake Sakumo before they were chopped to death in the streets of Konoha Village like cutting melons and vegetables.

At dawn the next day, the spies from the other four ninja villages who had been staying in Konoha Village all year round also got busy, hurriedly passing on this explosive intelligence...

As this information spread, the ninjas in the major ninja villages and the rebel ninjas all agreed that there was one more ninja in the ninja world who must not be provoked unless they were not allowed to—Konoha White Fang and Hatake Sakumo!

However, the small victory that Hatake Sakumo brought to the village could not overshadow the fact that in the front line of the Rain Country, the war between Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world, and the Hidden Rain Village ended in failure!

Even the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost furious about the title of "Three Ninjas" given by Hanzo of the Salamander to Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru!

If it weren’t for the intelligence coming from the front line!

The Third Kazekage of the Sand Village, who was furious at the failure of his plan, had sent the white-haired Chiyo to lead a large number of Sand Village ninja troops, with a total of more than two thousand people, and they were now heading towards the Land of Fire.

Sarutobi Hiruzen must definitely send more ninja troops to teach the arrogant Hidden Rain Village a lesson!

But at this time, facing the simultaneous attack from the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Sand Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to treat it with caution.

...

At the same time, the two old rivals, the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village, were not idle either. The third Raikage "Ai" and the third Tsuchikage "Onoki", the old enemies, also began to send out their ninja armies to each other, and the fight became fierce.

In fact, the war between the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village was completely instigated by Hanzo of the Salamander.

As mentioned in the previous article, the ninjas who often clash in the Rain Country are mainly from the three major countries of Fire, Earth, and Wind. There is no way that the Rain Country is right in the gap between these three countries. As for the Mist Village in the Water Country and the Cloud Village in the Lightning Country, they are very far away from the territory of the Rain Country.

The ninja villages behind the Fire Country and the Wind Country, Konoha and Sand Village, came to attack the Hidden Rain Village, so why didn't the Hidden Rock Village of the Earth Country come? Could it be that the Third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Rock Village, Ohnoki, is still a good guy?

Aren't you planning to get involved in this battlefield and share the interests of the Rain Country with Konoha and Sunagakure?

In fact, it’s not that Oonoki doesn’t want to get involved, but that he can’t come!

This principle of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones is actually understood by Hanzo of the Salamander. He can only be tough when dealing with neighbors with whom he has conflicting interests! If the Rain Country chooses to be weak, it will only be torn apart by the big countries around it.

The Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water are its natural allies!

Regarding this, Hanzo had already thought of it, so he had formed an alliance with the Third Raikage "Ai" of the Hidden Cloud Village in advance, and when the Hidden Cloud Village was empty after the troops were sent out, he sent out the ninja army to attack the Hidden Cloud Village, the eternal enemy...

The sneak attack by the Third Raikage caused heavy casualties in the Iwagakure Village, and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was almost furious. Now, the two major ninja villages are almost fighting each other.

In fact, regarding this war, the original Salamander Hanzo had a backup plan, but it was a pity that the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water did not respond to him.

Otherwise, according to Hanzo's original idea, when Konoha sent troops to attack their Hidden Rain Village, the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water would also strike fiercely at the back of the Land of Fire from the sea!

If that time really comes, for the safety of the Land of Fire and Konohagakure, these Konohagakure ninja troops will definitely retreat, and their Rain Village will only have to deal with the Sand Village.

And if this is really the case, Hanzo of the Salamander estimates that the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village may not necessarily do so and will keep his sights on the Land of Rain!

The target of the Sand Village will most likely become the Land of Fire and Konoha Village.

And now, there is proof, right?

This was the original plan of Hanzo of the Salamander, the demigod of the ninja world. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.

The lack of response from the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water and the strong foundation of Konoha made Hanzo of the Salamander very fearful!

Do you really think that Hanzo Salamander couldn't bear to kill the three ninjas leading the team from Konoha Village this time?

If you think so, it just means you are still too naive.

Who are these three people?

The successor of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!

The commander of this war in Konoha Village!

If Hanzo had left all three of them in the Land of Rain a few days ago, then the Hidden Rain Village and Konoha would have been doomed to a fight to the death.

But without the support of the Hidden Mist Village, Hanzo of the Salamander really doesn't think that the Hidden Mist Village has the strength to fight Konoha alone...

Moreover, the entire ninja world saw the sudden attack of the Sand Village on Konoha!

It must be said that this number one village in the ninja world is worthy of being the number one village in the ninja world!

There was no need for the Hokage himself to take action. The Konoha White Fang alone killed all the twelve elite ninja teams of the Sand Village one by one.

But is this all the power of Konoha?

Everyone knows that this is not the case.

Everyone in the ninja world knows that Konoha Village has two powerful families, the Uchiha and the Hyuga! There are also many small and medium-sized ninja families.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hasn't used much of this power yet!

Faced with such a terrifyingly powerful ninja village, would Hanzo of the Salamander dare to offend it to death?

Even if he, the demigod of the ninja world, can withstand it, can the Hidden Rain Village and the Rain Country withstand it?

Unless multiple ninja villages come together to attack Konoha, Hanzo of the Salamander will not consider becoming a mortal enemy of Konoha Village.

And this is the real reason why he cannot kill Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, the "Three Ninjas"!

It's definitely not because of any reason, such as appreciating the younger generation of ninjas...

He just can't become a mortal enemy of Konoha!

And this is the tragedy of small countries.

Chapter 16: Joining the War - Genin Transport Team

As the Sand Village turned its attention to the Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, the three ninjas who were still staying in the Land of Rain also received the news at the same time.

But for some unknown reason, in the end only Tsunade and Orochimaru led the remaining ninja troops of Konoha Village to support the Land of Fire. At this time, Jiraiya seemed to have disappeared in the Land of Rain.

...

Konoha Village, in the meeting room of the Hokage Building.

At this time in Konoha Village, all the senior ninjas that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen could still use had already arrived here.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing on the high platform in the center of the meeting room, had an extremely serious expression.

In fact, to be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself knew that the main reason for the failure of this war was him!

He, Sarutobi Hiruzen, underestimated the Hidden Rain Village and also took the Salamander Hanzo too lightly!

The current situation can be said to be caused by his mistake in command! Knowing that Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village was extremely good at using poison, and that the poison of the salamander could play the greatest role against the ninja army.

Why couldn't he send out a small team of elite ninjas to raid the Hidden Rain Village like the Hidden Sand Village did?

Instead, he was blindly arrogant and for his own selfish reasons, in order to accumulate military merits for his three major disciples, he forcibly withdrew most of the ninja forces in his hands.

Not only did he take away most of the ninja troops in Konoha Village, but now he has also suffered heavy casualties at the hands of Salamander Hanzo!

You have to know that the power that is still in his hands, besides the Anbu ninjas, only consists of the thirty-odd Jonins on the scene and the group of Genins who just graduated from the Ninja Academy less than two years ago, a total of about four hundred people.

Now, facing the sudden attack of the Sand Village on the Fire Country, Sarutobi Hiruzen was really caught off guard for a moment. Could it be that he, the Hokage, had to go into battle personally?

But relying solely on these forces is definitely not enough to resist the huge ninja army of the Sand Village. Sarutobi Hiruzen can only hope that Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru can bring the ninja army of the Rain Country back to support in time.

Otherwise, if the Sand Village attacks and brings them to the heart of the Land of Fire, he, the Third Hokage, will lose face!

Yes, as the largest village in the ninja world, Konoha naturally has a deep foundation, but the problem is that the cards in his hand as the Hokage are almost used up by him...

Unless Sarutobi Hiruzen can swallow his pride and seek help from the two great families.

But the problem is, if he really does this, it is not without cost. The two big families in Konoha Village are also coveting his position as Hokage...

Among them, the dissatisfaction of the Uchiha clan has a long history. Throughout the three generations of Hokage, there has not been a single person from the Uchiha clan, the largest family in Konoha!

You mentioned the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. That's fine, but why is it that when it comes to the third Hokage, there is still no mention of the Uchiha clan?

It would be strange if the Uchiha clan could obey, and this is also one of the main reasons why the Uchiha clan is not willing to obey the orders of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because they felt in their hearts that the position of the Third Hokage should be inherited by the Uchiha clan, and there was indeed such a person from the Uchiha clan back then, and he was Uchiha Kagami!

However, the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, finally chose to pass the position of Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and a few years later, Uchiha Kagami, this young man, somehow died in a mission.

It is hard not to make the Uchiha clan suspect that it was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who did it...

The Hyuga clan's appetite should not be that big, but they have always been coveting the Uchiha clan's and the guard's privileges.

If these two powerful families were to forcibly send out their hidden forces to fight, the price Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to pay would definitely be high!
