In order to pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Casualties are inevitable on the front lines, and ninja forces need to be replenished.

Uchiha Shigeka and other jounin led a new group of ninjas assembled in the village to head west to the frontline battlefield.

After reaching a fork in the mountain pass, the ninja team split into two groups.

All the way to Sunagakure battlefield, Uchiha Shigeka all the way to Amegakure battlefield.

The situation on the Sunagakure battlefield is stable, while the Amegakure battlefield is full of changes.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen considered for a moment, he sent Uchiha Shigeka to the front line of the Amegakure battlefield.

They marched very fast, but the composition of the ninja team varied in strength. It took them three days to reach the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.

“welcome!”

Jiraiya stood in front of the camp and waited after hearing the news from the scouts. Their strength was indeed a bit insufficient.

Sansho Hanzo’s withdrawal from the Land of Fire was a good thing, but it was also a bad thing.

Sansho Hanzo took advantage of the rainy land of Rain. Due to the climate environment, domestic materials and people were mobilized for several days to squeeze wildly, working day and night to dig a wide river as a dangerous pass.

Continuous heavy rains quickly filled the river and formed a big river.

At the moment when the river was completed, Sansho Hanzo led the remaining Aegakure troops across the river, stationed on the other side of the river, and built fortifications.

Jiraiya led Uchiha Shigeka and other Jonin into the headquarters, pointed to the battle map on the wall and said:”Ame no. It rains a lot and floods occur frequently in the country. The harsh environment here has created a population that is very good at water skills.”

“Although we have done simulations of combat in harsh environments at the ninja school, we have only tried it briefly and it is not as good as other people living in such an environment every day.”

Staff Captain Nara Kano added:”So it is not advisable to forcefully cross the river. The enemy is stronger than us in water combat, and the results of several trial attacks are evidence.”

Ninjas can condense chakra on the soles of their feet and walk on the water. Although the river is wide, even the chakra of genin can support it to walk to the other side.

But the Amegakure ninjas are familiar with the properties of water. They are invisible and lurk underwater. They are as flexible and strong as a swimming fish.

The Konoha ninjas suffered a lot when crossing the river. The Amegakure ninjas did not intend to face the enemy head-on. They disappeared into the water and disappeared without a hit, and then suddenly jumped out to give you a cold shot. , it is impossible to guard against.

A large river has become a natural chasm, making it difficult to cross the river.

Even if the people successfully cross the river, they will be exhausted and bump into the intact Amegakure troops. The situation can be imagined.

One jounin frowned and asked:” How deep is the water? Nara

Shikano replied:”It’s ten meters deep. The sensing force can confirm the enemy’s whereabouts, but can we go into the water and fight them?””

The jounin stopped talking. The answer was self-evident.

Going into the water to fight Amegakure, fighting in the opponent’s favorable environment, is simply asking for death.

“Don’t we have the ordnance and equipment to deal with underwater enemies?”

Uchiha Shigeka asked, Jiraiya nodded but shook his head and said:”Of course there is, but Amegakure is better at underwater fighting, and has corresponding defense methods against our attacks, which is of little use.”

And because he is good at underwater combat, one Amegakure can equal ten Amegakure. The ninja sent out is a small force, and the weapons and materials are used on the small force…….

It can only be said that it is a loss, and you can’t spend so much money if you have a lot of money.

The jounin of the Sarutobi clan suggested:”Jiraiya-sama, Orochimaru-sama, why not send your two psychic beasts?”……”

Jiraiya interrupted the other party and said:”The other party also has a psychic beast called Sancho, and it is covered in poison. Orochimaru’s psychic beast and I may not be able to take down the Sancho.”

“The psychic beasts are in a stalemate and fighting on the battlefield, which is not a good thing for both of us.”

The psychic beast is huge in size, and every move it makes is like a mountain pressing down on it. It is a trivial matter to scratch and bruise the muscles and bones. It is common to be directly hit and crushed to death.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya have a tacit understanding with Hanzo Sanshouyu. Everyone No one uses psychic beasts on the battlefield.

Since the war between Konoha and Amegakure, only Sanho Hanzo used the psychic beast Sanho to break out of the encirclement…….

Jiraiya sighed inwardly, it would be great if the other party was not a huge psychic beast like Sunagakure.

Orochimaru added to these jounin who were new to this place:”Hanzo Sansho spent a lot of effort to build fortifications to attack our ordnance.”

“The attacks that were useful before are no longer effective now. Hanzo Hanzo was attacking in the Land of Fire, but here he is defending.”

A Jonin stared at the battle map and suddenly said:”This river is not long, why don’t we go around the river and go back to the enemy’s side to attack.”

Jiraiya heard this and his face darkened:”Before attacking the enemy, you will first meet the people of the Kingdom of Rain.”

“……What do you mean, Sir, Sanshouyu Hanzo lets civilians be used as cannon fodder? ?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

“There is no need to consider detours, we cannot attack civilians, this is an iron law written in the Ninja Code!”

The Konoha ninjas looked at each other, looked at each other, and remained silent. The hot-tempered Jonin of the Uzumaki clan broke the silence and said in a loud voice:”In this case, it is better to enter directly through the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers. Wouldn’t it be enough to go to the Land of Rain? Poke Sansho Hanzo’s ass from behind!”

Nara Shikano glanced at the Uzumaki Jonin and spoke vulgarly.

He said:”That’s exactly what we meant. Naturally, it is not possible for large-scale troops to borrow the passage, but it is possible to send a small team to borrow the passage into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Rain.”

“As you said, creating trouble for Sanshouyu Hanzo from behind will distract him from dealing with it, thereby affecting the situation here and creating opportunities that are beneficial to us.”

“and……”Nara Shikano’s eyes flickered:”There is still a friendly force of ours in the Land of Rain. They can support us in other ways.”

Although that friendly force is not easy to deal with……

After the discussion, Uchiha Shigeka walked out of the headquarters and met Uchiha Mikoto and others.

“Chonghua, congratulations on becoming a Jonin.”

Uchiha Mikoto put her hands behind her back, her delicate little face was calm, and she smiled. She looked at Uchiha Shigeka with joy and pride:”This is the youngest Jonin since the founding of Konoha.”

“Damn it! Naoki was also here. He looked at Uchiha Shigeka with envy and hatred, and said in a sour tone:”How long has it been since graduation? We are still genin, but you are already a jounin!””

Namikaze Minato nodded aside, looking at Uchiha Shigeka with complicated eyes.

Uchiha Shigeka’s achievements were so impressive. He was promoted from genin to jounin in just one year. Such progress made Namikaze Minato even more excited. I couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.

The gap between them was not that big in the ninja school, but I didn’t expect that after a year, Chonghua would have left them far behind…….
