Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Chapter 40 The increasingly clear division of labor



Unfortunately, Rei Kaguya's vision became a reality.

After the initial battle with the Konoha troops centered on Kushina Uzumaki and the next head of the Ino Shiga butterfly family was repulsed, the Kannabuyama stronghold fell into a strange calm.

The battlefield that was originally supposed to be a millstone of flesh and blood filled with the sounds of both sides fighting, now could only hear the monotonous sound of Kirigakure's ninjas sparring in order to maintain their condition.

If it weren't for the fact that Uzumaki Kushina, who was determined to be a weakling who didn't take [Fatal Strike], would bring Konoha's reconnaissance team over every day for remote monitoring, and the newly arrived sentient ninjas from Kirigakure's side also approached and explored Konoha. If it is confirmed that there are many powerful chakra sources in one camp, Kaguya Rei will even feel that he has fallen into the opponent's empty city trick.

At the same time, Konoha launched a fierce counterattack against Kirigakure in other areas of the defense line.

According to the information Kaguya Rei received from Kirigakure's intelligence department, Konoha's two major pupil families sent quite luxurious lineups to participate in this counterattack, and caused a great obstacle to Kirigakure's offensive.

Although due to the long battle front, the reinforcements of the Hinata and Uchiha families were forced to disperse to various strongholds for support and could not be gathered together to pose a fatal threat to Kirigakure's large forces, their joining has already It really dragged the war into mud.

And for Kaguya Rei, whose main task is to hold on to the Kanabu Mountain stronghold until Kirigakure successfully captures several other Konoha strongholds and pushes the battle line further forward, it is a time of pure torture.

"Grandma, why was it that what I drew from Minato was not the Flying Thunder God, but this damn Myobokusan Sage mode!? If I had the Flying Thunder God, would I be as powerful as I am now?"

Seeing that another shadow clone of himself turned into a petrified frog due to the imbalance of chakra and natural energy in his body, Kaguya Rei, who had been studying the Myoboku Sage Mode for almost a week, fell backwards on the grass. , pressed his eyebrows with a tired look, and murmured to himself.

Kaguya Rei is not afraid of a head-on conflict with the ninjas of Konoha, but now that the range of activities is restricted by system tasks, facing the ninjas of Konoha who have been watching from a dangerous distance but refuse to come up and start a fight, he cannot go deep. He really didn't have any good way to deal with it after chasing him out.

At the same time, due to the fact that the entire front was at war, the help that the rear could provide to the Kannayan Mountain stronghold became very limited.

After reluctantly meeting Kaguya Rei's previous needs for medicinal materials, medical ninjas, and sensory ninjas, the camp never provided any support other than intelligence to the Kannayen Mountain stronghold. He devoted all his energy to this all-out battle with Konoha.

It can only be said that Nara Shikaku's tactics are indeed very successful, because the current Kaguya Rei is the kind of person who cannot handle it on a small-scale frontal battlefield. However, if the battlefield is enlarged and the front is lengthened, it will be limited by its own machine. A role that lacks motivation and is unable to play its full role.

Although he didn't know that Kaguya Rei was bound by a system mission, this did not prevent Nara Shikaku from decisively choosing to use the tactic of defeating Kirigakure after seeing clearly the situation between Konoha and Kirigakure. The only person whose combat power exceeds the standard is being dragged here——

As long as Kaguya Rei cannot freely be active on the battlefield, Kirigakure's offensive will not have such a huge breakthrough that catches people off guard, and as long as Konoha can draw manpower from Iwagakure and Kumogakure, regardless of the previous No matter how much land was taken away by Kirigakure, Konoha could easily take them back from Kirigakure's hands.

Even if Uzumaki Kushina is dragged here and unable to move like you, Konoha still has powerful men like Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato who are already famous in the ninja world, as well as Uchiha Fugaku and Hatake. A rising star like Kakashi who can support the future of the village can be trusted...

Apart from you, a monster who appears out of nowhere, are there any other ninjas in Kirigakure who can change the situation of the war with one person?

No, even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen can only do this when all members are gathered together. When they are scattered, they are just slightly stronger Jōnin.

Then, the answer to the question of what should I do becomes clear.

If you drag it, just drag it hard. I know I can't solve you, but I just want to drag you!

I believe that my companion can open up the situation and lead me to victory. Do you dare to give the chance of victory or defeat to your companion, Rei Kaguya?

"But such a peaceful confrontation will eventually end. The ownership of the Kanayan Mountain stronghold will ultimately depend on our respective strengths. Once we achieve results here, the confrontation situation on the entire front will change. .”

In the command post of the Kanaibu Mountain stronghold, Terumi Mei slammed a piece of information on the table and looked sharply at the Kirigakure ninjas who came to discuss the matter.

"Our intelligence personnel in Konoha sent back news that Namikaze Minato has left Konoha Hospital. Although his hands are still covered with thick bandages and plasters, we have reason to believe that he has actually fully recovered. for health.”

"In other words, Namikaze Minato may still be recovering in Konoha on the surface, but in fact he has made all preparations to rush to the battlefield, waiting for someone who can join forces with the apparent commander Kushina Uzumaki. A chance to attack and take back Mount Kannabu from our hands by surprise."

"Considering the relationship between the two of them as husband and wife, and the importance of the Kanabu Mountain stronghold, I have reason to believe that Konoha will launch an offensive like this."

"Then, Terumi Mei-sama," an older chuunin asked with a slightly frightened tone: "Are we going to face that yellow flash on the battlefield next?"

"No, Rei is in charge of both Yellow Flash and Uzumaki Kushina," Terumi Mei said in a deep voice, brushing her long hair hanging on her chest:

"When Rei fights those two people, we need to be responsible for fighting them. There is a high probability that they will be Konoha's Ino, Deer and Butterfly combination, and the Jounin insect masters of the Aburame clan."

"It's very difficult, Terumi Mei-sama." Another chuunin answered:

"Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame...each of them is a famous secret arts family. Terumi Mei-sama, even though you have two blood inheritance limits, Melting Release and Boiling Release, it may be difficult to compete with them at the same time, right? "

"So Rei left this for us."

Terumi Mei placed the psychic scroll that Rei Kaguya first made on the table and pushed it to the center of the conference table.

"Terumi Mei-sama, what is this?" The chuunin who expressed concern before frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"The scroll contains Rei's special clone. Its activity time is limited, but its strength is about 50% of his own. It is more than enough to suppress Konoha's Pig, Deer and Butterfly combination in a short period of time."

"As expected of you, Sir! Is there a clone that can inherit 50% of your own power?"

"It's a very powerful technique... With this Master Lian's clone at your side, our winning rate can be greatly improved."

"Oh, Konoha? You will never come back!"

There was a burst of cheers in the conference room. Terumi Mei waited silently until everyone had vented their emotions before speaking again and giving instructions:

"That's what happened. I will try my best to get rid of the Aburame clan insect masters that I have restrained while Rei's clone is still active, and then I will come back and join you, and together we will repel the invading Konoha ninjas."

"Two of you in the intelligence class, please stay with the medical ninjas. Remember to stay alert at all times and don't give Konoha's ninjas a chance to fish in troubled waters and sneak in to create chaos."

"Yes!" The two new members of the intelligence team nodded slightly, accepting the task.

"Patrol squad, guard the key positions of the stronghold. If the enemy is discovered, there is no need to fight to the end. Try to delay the time for them to invade the stronghold. If there are too many casualties on our side, even if Lian's side wins, we will not have enough We can continue to guard Mount Kannayan with more manpower, do you understand?"

"clear!"

Terumi Mei methodically arranged the tasks of each team in the stronghold. Although she still looked like a girl in her early thirteen years, she showed amazing efficiency and talent at this time, as if she was born with it. All qualities required to be a good leader are the same.

After arranging tasks for all the ninjas and asking them to go back to garrison, Terumi Mei lay on the conference table with a bitter look on her face, staring at the psychic scroll that Kaguya Rei had prepared for her, while rubbing herself His temples were throbbing with pain, and he murmured to himself:

"It's really troublesome, Lian..."

"But who made them all the first followers who were important to you?"

"Forget it this time, if you dare to leave all the troublesome clerical work to me in the future, and go to improve your strength alone... I will definitely leave you with an impressive lesson, huh. "

The second update of 9.9 will not affect the two updates of 9.10.

Also, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers, remember to eat mooncakes with your family
