The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Each of them has grown from being less than 1 meters tall four years ago to being over 5 meters tall now.

Of course, except for Uzumaki Kushina, she is a girl after all.

We can't expect girls to grow as tall as boys, but they should be at least 1 meters tall.

However, in these years, they have never encountered a strong elite jonin. At most, they have encountered a random ninja of Konoha with the strength of a special jonin.

However, even if they meet, with their current strength they will not be as embarrassed as they were when they met Cyborg four years ago.

After four years of training, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have traveled throughout the entire Fire Country.

Basically, whenever they heard that there were bandits, rebellious ninjas, or chaotic ninjas somewhere, they would appear.

The entire Fire Nation seemed much more peaceful because of their continuous cleanup.

We can't say that the whole country is stable, but at least everyone can survive without having to worry about being killed every day.

On the other hand, as the strength of Cangsi and the other four grew, Jiraiya was transferred back by the Third Hokage two years ago and sent to the Rain Country where the Wind Country and the Fire Country were at war.

Also sent to the Rain Country were Tsunade and Orochimaru.

So now only Cang Si and four others are carrying out this S-level mission.

Yes, with the recovery of the Sand Village's strength in recent years, they once again brazenly launched a war against Konoha.

And the location of this battle is the Land of Rain!

However, no one expected that this country was just a tiny country in the eyes of Konoha and Sunagakure.

A place where there are no more than a thousand ninjas in the entire country has become a meat grinder!

Konoha and Sunagakure each sent 2000 ninjas into the Rain Country, but all of them, more than 4000 ninjas, were defeated there.

For this reason, on the Sunagakure side, their two elder siblings, Chiyo and Ebizo, also personally joined the battlefield in the Rain Country.

As a last resort, Konoha had to send Orochimaru, Tsunade, and even Jiraiya, who was on a mission with Souji and the other three, to the Land of Rain.

As for why Konoha can mobilize three Kage-level powerhouses at the same time.

That’s because the current Kumogakure and Iwagakure are already unable to take care of themselves.

Ever since the Hidden Cloud Village planned the kidnapping of Uzumaki Kushina, the top leaders of Konoha have been thinking about revenge all the time.

Since you, Kumogakure, have moved our village's Jinchūriki.

Well, don't blame us at Konoha for also targeting your village's Jinchūriki.

In the end, Danzo and Orochimaru planned a plan to target the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure.

The result, is quite gratifying!

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure - Bruhi directly transformed into a tailed beast and went berserk.

The runaway Eight-Tails Jinchuriki rushed towards the Iwagakure Village without any reason.

Various Tailed Beast Balls were sprayed everywhere along the way, causing the damage to the Iwagakure Village to be even greater than after fighting with Konoha for so many years!

This made the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki unable to sit still, and he turned the firepower originally directed at Konoha and declared war on the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Third Raikage was not afraid either. Although he knew it was his side's fault, he would never admit it.

Then, he also turned a large group of ninjas from the battlefield with Konoha to the Iwagakure Village.

In this situation, Danzo was prepared to destroy both villages at once.

But the Third Hokage stopped him, thinking that it would be fine to let Kumogakure and Iwagakure fight each other, and there was no need for Konoha to force its way in and get into trouble for nothing.

This left Konoha with several Kage-level strongmen who were capable of commanding a region.

That's why the Third Hokage had the luxury to send all three of his disciples to the Rain Country at once, hoping to eliminate the unstable factors in the Rain Country and the Sand Village in one go.

This is what Cang Si and the other three have learned about the general situation of the entire ninja world.

The Village of Kumogakure and the Village of Iwagakure were fighting to the death, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki had gone berserk and died at the hands of the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

However, Iwagakure also suffered heavy losses as a result.

On the other side, the Third Raikage Ai also went to the front line in person to fight against the Third Tsuchikage. He wanted to avenge the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

After all, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is the nephew of the Third Raikage!

Both of them are outstanding among the Kage-level warriors, just like a pair of thorns, neither of them can do anything to the other.

Ōnoki has control of the air, and at the same time he has the terrifying bloodline elimination - Dust Release, a move that will kill anyone who gets touched by it.

Ai mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and other powerful ninjutsu such as Hell Stab, so Ohnoki's Dust Release could not touch him at all.

Therefore, the battle between the two sides came to a strange stalemate.

Basically, there is a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days.

But at the same time they did not want to retreat.

One side seeks revenge for the thousands of ninjas who died at the hands of the runaway Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

The other side was seeking revenge for their nephew, the deceased Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

As for the remaining Kirigakure, I only heard that the conflicts within the village have become increasingly serious, and there seems to be a rumor that the conflicts can be diverted through war.

Therefore, Danzo was sent out by the Third Hokage to guard against a sudden attack from Kirigakure.

The most troublesome of these is the war between Konoha, Sand Village, and Rain Country.

In the land of Rain, their leader, Hanzo of the Salamander, is now fighting against two major ninja villages alone.

Not counting the ninjas that Konoha and Sunagakure had already lost, each of them subsequently deployed 2000 ninja troops and their respective village leaders.

The Konoha Anbu also learned through spies in the Sand Village that in order to escape from the quagmire in the Rain Country, the Sand Village wanted to open a second front against Konoha in the River Country.

For this reason, Hatake Sakumo has been guarding the front line of the River Country.

These are the general situations of the Ninja World War that Cang Si and the other three have learned about over the years.

As for how they knew, it must be because they returned to Konoha Village occasionally.

There is no rule in long-term S-level missions that ninjas cannot return to the village.

Cang Si and others determined this information through discussions with their respective families and villagers, as well as analysis by several people.

"Ever since Sensei Jiraiya left us to join the war, the entire ninja world has suddenly become so chaotic." Uchiha En said with a frown.

"Think about it from another angle. The current situation is becoming increasingly powerful for our Konoha." Cang Si made an analysis with a smile.

"I really hope the war will end soon." Uzumaki Kushina knew that this Ninja World War would definitely cause many children to lose their homes and parents like her.

"Yes, the fighting has ended in two battlefields, so how far will the remaining wars be from over?" As the captain after Jiraiya left, Minato Namikaze comforted his friends.

At this moment, Cang Si and the other three were standing on a mountain top, looking down at the flowing water below.

Here they had just dealt with a group of wandering ninjas who were committing murder, arson, robbery, and even sparing newborn babies and the elderly.

Cang Si and his companions showed no mercy to this group of guys and sent them all to report to the underworld.

Even Uzumaki Kushina, who always liked to leave people alive, went on a killing spree this time, contrary to her usual practice.

This shows that the death of these guys is not a pity.

Forgiving you is God's business, and my mission is to send you to see God!

In this ninja world, it may not be appropriate to say this.

But it can be said another way.

Forgive you for being the dead, our mission is to send you to the underworld to meet the dead!

I still remember that there were a few wandering ninjas who were not afraid of death. They committed suicide with a strange smile when facing Cang Si and his men.

Cang Si doesn't tolerate this kind of guy.

Although he respects the dead, these guys are worse than animals!

Cang Si used the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to pull back these wandering ninjas who had just threatened to commit suicide from the underworld.

Seeing those guys' faces turn green,

The people in the company felt so relieved at that time.

Finally, after severely torturing the souls of these guys, and hearing their tearful pleas for mercy, Cang Si released their souls back to the underworld.

In fact, Cang Si should thank these guys for helping him familiarize himself with the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

During the journey, I was afraid that my teammates would be disgusted by the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, so I didn't have much chance to practice it.

But over the past four years, we always encountered a few stubborn elements who refused to repent.

In the end, they were all tortured to the brink of collapse under Cang Si's Impure World Reincarnation.

Cang Si's action won unanimous praise from his teammates.

"The day after tomorrow will be the 4-year deadline for our mission. Let's get ready and go back to Konoha to hand in the mission to the Hokage." After saying this, Minato Namikaze took the lead and ran down the mountain from the top of the mountain.

Uzumaki Kushina's first reaction was to follow Minato directly.

Chapter 54 Invitation to Battle

"puff"

Just as Cang Si was trying hard to maintain the condensation of water attribute chakra and wind attribute chakra in his body.

A gust of wind suddenly appeared around his body, directly cutting the sleeve on Cang Si's left forearm, leaving a red blood mark on his forearm.

"Failed again."

Cang Si didn't even look at the small wound and was still lost in distress.

This has happened countless times over the past year.

Every time he failed, Cang Si would either be soaked in water or his clothes and skin would be cut by the wind blades, leaving blood marks like the ones he has now.

It's still okay now, it was even more terrifying when I first started to integrate the Ice Release Bloodline.

I remember one night, after Cang Si finished training, he was cut into a bloody man by wind blades.

His clothes were torn into strips, which made Minato and the others think that Souji was attacked by the enemy.

Another time, after Cang Si failed to match the two types of chakra in his body, he seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea and was almost drowned.

These are the consequences of the failure of the wind and water attribute chakras to be matched in Cang Si's body.

I failed again and again, and although I got hurt every time, the situation was getting better.

This failure only left a small hole.

"Then continue." Cang Si was not discouraged. At least he had seen a glimmer of hope ahead and was no longer shrouded in despair like he was a year ago.

Until Cang Si was left with two blood marks again, and was drenched in water once on his feet and once on his head.

Cang Si finally finished the training and returned to the camp to lie down and rest.

In the darkness, a figure opened his eyes, looked at Cang Si's tired figure, and could not fall asleep for a long time.

"Cang Si, you have been working hard, and I won't let up either." This person was none other than Minato Namikaze.

As night fell, sleepiness finally overwhelmed Souji and Minato.

The next day, they got up early, packed everything, ate a ration pill, and prepared to continue heading towards Konoha Village.

After all, there was only one day left before the mission was completed, and they hadn't been back for a while, so everyone was very excited.

"We must eat three big bowls of Ichiraku Ramen when we get back to reward ourselves for our hard work during this period of time." As if thinking of the delicious ramen, Uchiha Yan couldn't help licking his lips.

"It's okay. We haven't encountered those bandits and rebel ninjas in recent times. Except for the one yesterday, the last time we encountered a rebel ninja was more than half a month ago." Uzumaki Kushina didn't say anything about this.

Firstly, Kumogakure and Iwagakure have already stopped fighting with Konoha, Kirigakure has not taken any action, and only Sandagakure is still jumping around.

Those troublemakers, realizing the situation was not looking good, quieted down.

Secondly, Cang Si's team of four is now well-known in the Fire Nation. The evil people are afraid of them, and the good people welcome them.

Now, many times, after Cang Si and his four companions found out the rebel ninja's lair, by the time they got there, the other party had already fled.

This is different from four years ago when we could clear out a group of bandits and rebel ninjas every one or two days.

Now there is a possibility that we won't meet these guys for even a month.

We can only blame them for being too famous now.
