The Senju Remnants Of The Uchiha Clan

Chapter 38: Shiratori's questions



"Hahahaha! Cough!"

Torifu, who was covered in bandages, laughed wildly, and then he started coughing violently. Chōza Akimichi was so scared that he quickly helped his father lie down again.

Torifu was seriously injured.

Due to excessive use of the Butterfly Mode and the fact that he turned into a giant and showed off a lot, he was targeted by the enemy. At this moment, he even had difficulty speaking.

But his mood is extremely wonderful.

There was no other reason. The southeast camp was saved, and the crisis on the southeast front was resolved in an unexpected way.

Torifu explained it in detail, and everyone suddenly understood.

Konoha's reinforcements did arrive, a total of 3,000 ninjas, but they were not the main force of Konoha on the front line of the Land of Lightning, but the force stationed at Kannabi Bridge to monitor the Village Hidden in the Stones.

Previously, in order to trick the third Raikage, the Village Hidden in the Stones clan dispatched more than 10,000 elite ninjas to ambush the Land of Rice Paddies, which borders the Land of Fire to the north.

In this age where alliances are as worthless as waste paper, Konoha cannot guarantee that after ambushing the Raikage, the Village Hidden in the Stones will not go straight south to give them a surprise, so it stationed a surveillance force of more than 3,000 people at the strategic location leading to the Land of Earth, Kannabi Bridge.

Don't think it's too few. At this moment, the number of the Iwagakure ninjas was only 20,000. 

10,000 will follow the Tsuchikage to trap the Raikage, 6,000 will be slacking off in the battlefield of the Village Hidden in the Rain, and the rest will be dispersed to garrison in various places in the Land of Earth.

So, without considering the two Jinchuriki at Village Hidden in the Stones who have never shown up, these three thousand Konoha ninjas are enough to attack the Village Hidden in the Stones village.

After learning the news that the third Raikage was killed in battle, Tsuchikage Ōnoki was seriously injured, and ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas suffered heavy losses, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately gave the order, ordering this army to rush to the southeast battlefield to provide support.

Two days before Village Hidden in the Mist launched a full-scale offensive, the three thousand ninjas finally arrived at the southeast front.

Torifu Akimichi learned the news in the middle of the night. He couldn't help laughing wildly at the time, and then his subordinates misunderstood that the commander had gone insane under the pressure…

These 3,000 men were not directly deployed to the battlefield but disguised as reinforcements coming from the Land of Lightning under the order of Torifu Akimichi; plus, there were only 5,000 ninjas in Konoha, and there were nearly 8,000 enemies on the opposite side, so the chances of winning a head-on battle were still slim, so they could only choose to scare the ninja of Village Hidden in the Mist away!

As for why they don't support the Village Hidden in the Rain…

It is not so much that Hiruzen Sarutobi believes in the abilities of Orochimaru and Danzo, but rather that he has enough confidence in their bottom line.

During this period, according to the secret reports received by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the two pillars of Konoha performed steadily, poisoning the well water, destroying all the farmland in the Village Hidden in the Rain during the autumn harvest, massacring the civilians and blaming it on the Village Hidden in the Sand, etc., etc.

There are also some routine operations, such as some Root soldiers pretending to surrender and then launching suicide attacks, burying detonating tags in enemy corpses, etc. To collect corpses from the opposite side.

This set of tactics made the Village Hidden in the Sand, and the innocent civilians of the Village Hidden in the Rain suffer a lot. In addition, Orochimaru repelled Rasa head-on seven times, but the Village Hidden in the Sand did not make any progress on the battlefield.

Having successfully resisted the attack of the Village Hidden in the Sand with inferior forces, what could Hiruzen Sarutobi do about the massive number of innocent casualties caused by these two bastards? Of course, he chose to turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't know…

Anyway, it was a private decision made by both of you. I didn't give any orders. Although I acquiesced, don't get any blame on me!

… … …

After following Shibi Aburame to visit Torifu Akimichi, Shiratori and the others wandered around the camp.

Having been accustomed to the tension of the war period, everyone felt a little uncomfortable when they suddenly had some free time and felt a bit idle.

For example, Asuma is now clamoring to have another fight with Village Hidden in the Mist right away.

"Asuma!" Kurenai showed a dissatisfied expression.

She also participated in the previous battles, and since she knew some medical ninjutsu, she was assigned to the medical team as a temporary member after the war. She saw many Konoha companions who were seriously injured on the battlefield, listened to their painful cries, and even had to use illusions to alleviate their pain.

"No, that… I was just kidding!" Asuma scratched his head and immediately backed down.

Shiratori followed behind a few people, frowning slightly, seeming a little absent-minded.

"Shiratori?" Shibi discovered something abnormal about Shiratori.

"… "

"Shiratori?"

"Ah? Ah! Sorry, Mr. Shibi, I was just thinking about something."

Shiratori stopped walking, and Shibi also waited there without moving. Watching everyone gradually walk away, Shiratori couldn't help but ask: "Shibi-sensei, I have some questions, and I don't know if I should ask them."

Shibi Aburame found a large rock and sat on it, motioning for Shiratori to sit next to him.

"Go ahead; I'm your team leader; of course, I have to help you solve your problems." 

Shibi said in a gentle tone and then expressed some emotion.

To be honest, among all his subordinates, he spent the least time with Shiratori.

Because his own strength far exceeds that of a Chunin, Shiratori usually acts as a temporary leader with Might Guy.

"Yes."

Shiratori sat next to Shibi with a confused expression: "Shibi-sensei, what I want to ask is… Why didn't the Jonin Minato Namikaze come to support us?"

"Um?"

"Flying Thunder God Technique." Shiratori took a deep breath: "Jonin Minato, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, can obviously rush here after the battle in the Land of Lightning is over… This should be easy to do. As long as the village sends someone with an item marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato can rush to the southeast front in a very short time. Why not do this?"

This was also what Shiratori was confused about when he watched Naruto in his previous life.

After Minato Namikaze's Impure World Reincarnation, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to cross a very long distance to reach the battlefield of the fourth war and then transferred the tailed beast ball of the ten-tails to the sea. It can be seen that the Flying Thunder God Technique does have the ability to move long distances.

But looking back at Minato Namikaze's previous battles, this point was not shown, including this time.

If Minato Namikaze could appear at the southeastern front when the battle started, to be honest, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would not be enough for him to chop down. It's a bit exaggerated to kill one by one, but those seven people combined probably couldn't even give him twenty strikes…

Suddenly, a lot of conspiracy theories appeared in Shiratori's mind…

"You're talking about this… Um… "

This time, Shibi Aburame started to feel conflicted. He and Minato Namikaze were very good friends, and he really understood this.

"Uh… Just pretend I didn't ask." Looking at the other party's expression, Shiratori decided to skip this topic.

"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. Many people know about it." Shibi scratched his head, picked up a lost Parasitic Insect, and stuffed it into his ear. His movements were extremely natural, and Shiratori was stunned.

"Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu. Since it is a ninjutsu, it requires Chakra, especially when moving over long distances." 

"Not only does it require a large amount of Chakra, but it also has very demanding requirements on the ability to control Chakra; otherwise, it will be torn into pieces by the power of space… Minato's control ability is naturally beyond doubt, but to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to move such a long distance, his Chakra… May not be enough."

So that's how it is, Shiratori suddenly realized.

From the Land of Lightning to the southeastern front, Minato Namikaze's Chakra was not enough to support him, not even one-third of the distance. After his Impure World Reincarnation, he had unlimited Chakra, so he dared to teleport over long distances.

"Shibi-sensei, I have another question."
