Konoha: Starting from the Duel Arena

"Yeah." Yuuki Aomi nodded, then turned to look at Uchiha Haru and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Qing's face turned red, then she lowered her head and said "hmm" softly.

When they arrived at the Hokage Building, Yuuki Aomizu pulled out a three-pronged kunai from his pocket, injected chakra into it, and waited for a while, and Minato appeared in front of them in an instant.

"Minato, you're still so fast."

Minato: “?”

He knew what Yuuki Aomizu meant by "fast", but he didn't expect that he could drive on such a broken road.

Seeing Minato's appearance, Yuuki Aomizu smiled.

Then he raised his hand, and an expression of patting the head appeared in front of him. When Minato saw this expression, he subconsciously wanted to return the favor, but Yuuki Aomizu clapped his hands the next moment, and the expression of patting the head went towards Minato's head.

Then it transformed into a palm in front of him and gently stroked his hedgehog head.

This is exactly the ninjutsu created by Minato, the Ninjutsu: Head-patting Technique.

This move does not cause any damage or defense, and the principle is very simple.

After returning from the Land of Hot Springs, Minato wrote a scroll of ninjutsu and gave it to him, and Yuuki Aomizu learned it quickly and mastered it within a day.

Feeling the cold sensation on his head, Minato was speechless.

"Qingshui, can you please stop being so childish!"

"You'll regret this!"

"Don't forget! I'm your captain!"

Yuuki Aomi looked righteous, "From now on, if the captain wants to pat your head, you can't refuse!"

"Damn Qingshui!"

"Let's go find Lord Hokage first." Seeing the two of them start again, Uchiha Qing couldn't help but interrupt and pointed to the location of the Hokage's office.

"Okay." Yuuki Aomi nodded, then walked towards the Hokage's office first.

At this time in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at the group of people in front of him with a serious expression.

"The Sand Village suddenly attacked us with a large army, saying that we assassinated their genius and hung the body at the door."

"Impossible! We don't have such extreme ninjas in Konoha!" Danzo stood up and refuted.

"This is just an excuse made up by the evil Sand Village to start a war!"

"Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, agreeing with Danzo's words. Their Konoha is a peace-loving country, so there are no extreme ninjas!

"So are we going to the battlefield of Sand Village?" Jiraiya leaned against the wall and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Of course I'm going to the battlefield, you stupid idiot." Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya from the side and licked the tip of his nose with his tongue speechlessly.

"Orochimaru will be the overall commander, Jiraiya will assist, and Tsunade will be responsible for dealing with Chiyo's poison as well as the medical camp."

"Damn Orochimaru!" Jiraiya was a little unconvinced, but after looking at the people around him, he still did not act unreasonably. Sometimes refuting the commander-in-chief would bring bad effects.

"What about our ninja clan and them?" Uchiha Hinata sat in his seat and watched Sarutobi Hiruzen pointing at Hatake Sakumo and some strong men from small families who were still standing aside.

"You go guard the Mist Village, they are also ready to make a move."

"As for Hatake Sakumo, you take people to assassinate Chiyo."

"Yes!"

"Danzo, take the people from the Root and keep an eye on the Iwagakure and Kumogakure!"

"If they cease fire or negotiate peace, come back and report!"

"Okay!" Danzo nodded. He did not contradict Sarutobi Hiruzen at this time.

At this moment, the door of the Hokage's office was knocked and Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

"Xiao Qingshui and the others are here."

"come in!"

As he expected, Yuuki Aomizu walked in with Uchiha Haru and Minato.

Seeing so many people in the Hokage's office, Yuuki Aomi looked at Jiraiya in surprise, but Jiraiya just shook his head at him and motioned to talk about it later.

"Third generation grandfather, is there any mission?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, there is a mission for you."

As he said this, he looked at Orochimaru and motioned for him to speak.

He thought about the decision of the commander-in-chief for a long time, and even discussed with Orochimaru in private how to fight this war.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze, Orochimaru came out, licked his nose with his tongue, and said with a smile on his face: "Aomizu-kun, this time I'll trouble you to stop the Sand Village's advance speed."

"They seem to have been prepared for a long time. They have sent several hundred ninjas ahead of their main force. Among them are several jonin, most of them are chunins, and a small number of genins."

"They are the vanguard of the Sand Village, and they are exploring the way ahead. Therefore, we don't have much intelligence, only a general idea. Now your mission is to stop them."

"We need to delay them for at least three days, so that the war won't happen in the Fire Nation."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, Yuuki Aomizu hadn't responded yet, and Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately spoke up: "I originally wanted you to follow Jiraiya on the front battlefield."

"But your abilities are enough to carry out these tasks."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, still feeling a little melancholy.

When he discussed these things with Orochimaru yesterday, Orochimaru strongly recommended Yuuki Aosui.

And there was no way for me to refuse the reason given.

It is impossible not to make arrangements for such a powerful ninja.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought, his expression gradually becoming serious, "When necessary, you can use that power!"

"You must come back alive!"

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, then continued: "This mission will be regarded as a jonin assessment for the three of you. If you succeed, you three will become jonin in the future."

Yuuki Aomi and the other two looked at each other and said, "Yes!"

At this time, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible degree.

The wind of new life is about to begin to blow across this world.

Let me see this new style of yours, Qingshui-kun.

Orochimaru thought silently in his heart.

This mission was originally assigned to Hatake Sakumo, but after my own argument, it was replaced by Yuuki Aomizu and others.

The wind on the battlefield is the bloodiest.

"The three of you are a little too few." Orochimaru looked at Yuuki Aomizu and spoke.

"I have arranged a hundred people for you to carry out this mission together."

"They are just outside the village, and everything is under your command."

Yuuki Qingshui wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded. This war was the best time for him to improve his reputation. With these people, he would be the best reputation-generating machine.

After coming out of the Hokage's office, Yuuki Aomizu looked at Minato and Uchiha Haru and said, "This mission is very dangerous, but I believe we can do it."

"Yeah!" Minato nodded heavily, looking fearless, but his hand holding the kunai was trembling slightly, which showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

For Minato, war was something to be feared.

"Let's go and see what the strength of the one hundred people under my jurisdiction is."

"Ah."

Minato and Uchiha Haru nodded, then followed Yuuki Aomizu out of the village.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the village, Yuuki Aomizu saw a group of people wearing Konoha's forehead protectors not far away.

When he saw these people, Yuuki Aomizu's mouth twitched slightly, and his whole body was a little stunned.

He originally thought that if not all of the people Orochimaru had arranged were Chunins, at least half of them would be Chunins.

But looking at this group of people, most of them are ninjas wearing Konoha forehead protectors and Chunin vests, and there are only a few of them.

Although Konoha does not require the wearing of Chunin vests, most Chunins still like to wear them.

The protective ability is much higher than ordinary clothing.

And it fits the ninja's habits very well.

Although we cannot analyze it only from the perspective of the Chunin vest, there are also people who do not like to wear the Chunin vest, but it is not possible that only three or four out of the hundred people wear the Chunin vest.

Thinking of this, Yuuki Aomizu sighed and walked over.

When they first saw Yuuki Aomi and the other two, no one took them seriously. They thought they were ninjas like them, waiting here for the next order.

But as Yuuki Aomizu got closer, his aura exploded, and everyone felt a shock in their hearts, as if a heavy object was pressing on them, making them breathless.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Yuuki Aomizu nodded in satisfaction and restrained his aura.

The burst of momentum at the beginning was to oppress these people, and at the same time to declare one's own strength, so as to prevent any clowns from coming out and making trouble.

Glancing at everyone, Yuuki Aomizu said, "I am your captain, Yuuki Aomizu."

"The person next to me is your vice-captain. When I'm not here, you have to listen to them." Yuuki Aomizu pointed at Minato and Uchiha Haru and said.

"Yes!" After hearing his words, no one dared to refute, but responded loudly.

Seeing this, Yuuki Aomi nodded and continued: "Now all Chunins stand up."

"Genin stay where you are."

As Yuuki Aomizu said this, the crowd became a little noisy and chaotic.

Then four Chunins came out one after another.

These are exactly the four people wearing Chunin vests that Yuuki Aomizu saw before.

And behind them were three Genin each.

This is their squad.

They are also the teachers who lead the team.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, when he saw that there were really only four Chunins, Yuuki Aomizu couldn't help but sigh.

What use can these people be to me?

Are you cheering for yourself?

Although he thought so, Yuuki Aomizu still asked, "Do you know all the missions?"

"We know!" A Chunin stood up and said excitedly.

Although the momentum that Yuki Aomizu just burst out made him feel a little uncomfortable, he felt relieved in his heart.

When he knew that he would be a member of the vanguard force, he had already written a suicide note, but now looking at Yuuki Aomizu, his chances of survival seemed to be higher.

If the leader of the team is strong, then the survival rate of the team can be guaranteed.

And Yuuki Aomizu's aura alone can make them so uncomfortable, it goes without saying that he must be very powerful.

Although he looks young, there are many ninjas who are young but powerful.

Very normal.

Among the crowd, Asami Kumo was also there, and he also had a Konoha forehead protector on his head.

He wanted to join Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not stop him.

However, he was not allowed to access any secrets or affairs. He was only allowed to accept missions normally, and he had to start as a Genin.

Asami Yun looked at Yuuki Aomizu with excitement on his face.

Finally, I can follow in the adults' footsteps!

His appearance scared the people around him a little.

"Brother, don't be so excited. This is a war. Calm down."

"Oh oh." Hearing the words of a Genin next to him, Asami Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Yuuki Aomi in front of him with admiration.

Seeing his appearance, another Genin came over and asked curiously, "Do you know this captain?"

"You look very excited."
