Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 104: Two moves to defeat your Kusagakure!
At the border of the Land of Grass, Jiraiya looked at the two people beside him with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

These two——

On the left, Matt Day looks around.

On the right, Chen Baojun is standing tall and majestic, with the demeanor of a master of physical skills.

Jiraiya didn't doubt the strength of the two men. He was well aware of Might Guy's power and knew that Chen Baojun was no easy opponent. But it was precisely because of this that he suspected that Tsunade sent them here to directly destroy the Kusagakure Village?

Jiraiya pondered for a moment and felt that he had to clarify this matter.

"Dai, Baojun, what did Tsunade tell you to come here?"

"I am just an ordinary genin, and I follow the orders of Master Jiraiya."

Matt Day's smile was genuine.

Jiraiya looked at Chen Baojun, who remained respectful and said to him: "Show the power of your taijutsu and shock the surrounding ninja villages!"

"I understand."

Jiraiya nodded.

After that, he thought for a moment and said, "How many gates can you use while ensuring your own absolute safety?"

"I can open the seventh gate. After my last attempt, I have been communicating with Baojun frequently. Now I can perform one move and still retain consciousness, but it will take a long time and medical ninjutsu treatment to restore my combat power."

Matt Day answered truthfully.

Chen Baojun said: "I am ashamed. I have practiced for too short a period of time. My body is far inferior to Dai's. I can only open the sixth gate."

Jiraiya thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand."

He looked around.

There are ten elite teams, not many in number, but all of them are elite Chunin and above. Compared to the Kusagakure, they are definitely a strong team.

Among them, Matt Day and Chen Baojun are the key.

A tactic had already emerged in his mind. He immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Let me lead the way and go straight into the hinterland to the outside of the Kusagakure Village to punish the culprit!"

"Yes!"

……

Morning, Kusagakure Village.

Chief's Office.

"Chief, now that Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer the Hokage, Konoha is not that easy to deal with. There has been no news so far, so let's go up and apologize!"

The two elders spoke earnestly.

Apologize!
The other party is Konoha, there is no shame!
However, Asano Yu has a different view.

He looked at the elders and advisors: "Konoha will definitely win? Even if we apologize to Konoha, they won't be able to fully trust us. And if the Hidden Rock Village wants to attack, they will definitely fight us..."

Asano Yu's tone was firm.

"Everyone, the Iwagakure Village is not as strong as Konoha. Only by cooperating with them can we gain more say, instead of relying on others like we have been doing all these years."

"You, you are really crazy!"

The two elders looked at the leader they had elected in shock.

They felt their leader had gone mad.

but.

What's even crazier is -

"Does Konoha still think it's the same as it was back then? Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju are both dead, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo are also dead, there's only Tsunade left, what's there to be afraid of!"

The jonin helped the leader speak.

They want to fight too.

But at this moment, the Anbu ninja outside quickly came over, and the footsteps were so rapid that they could be heard inside the house.

Soon, a piece of information was placed on their desk, which contained the intelligence analysis of the attack from the Iwagakure Village.

"Everyone, according to the description of the Iwagakure Village, Konoha dispatched two teams, and their strength is not that exaggerated."

Asano Yu handed them the information.

There was silence in the office.

After a long time, the two elders went out, looked at each other and sighed softly.

Over the past decade or so, although the Kusagakure Village participated in the war, it was not at the center of the war, allowing them to swing in the middle to gain benefits, but at the same time, many people have forgotten how powerful Konoha is.

War means death!
Asano Yu was very determined. He even sent someone to write to Ohnoki, expressing his willingness to cooperate deeply. But before the letter was sent, another piece of news arrived.

"Master Chief, no, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's the panic?"

Asano Yu was somewhat dissatisfied.

Before the battle even started, everyone was already in disarray.

How does this work?
He was about to scold when the jonin who delivered the message looked up, his face full of panic and fear.

"Konoha, Konoha is attacking! Led by Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, there are ten elite teams!"

"what?"

Jiraiya!
Asano Yu couldn't believe it, and then a trace of fear arose from the bottom of his heart.

How could Konoha be so fast?

It wasn’t like this before!

His face turned pale as he looked at the other party, then he forced himself to remain calm: "There are only ten teams. Gather the ninjas in the village..."

"Lord Chief!"

The jonin was surprised and even more horrified, "You still want to fight them?"

"Fight! We must fight! You, quickly go to the Land of Earth and inform Ohnoki of the situation here. Ask him to bring reinforcements as soon as possible. If we can defeat these ten teams together, the other villages will rise up and attack!"

Asano Yu said viciously.

The jonin licked his lips, his face filled with fear, panic and shock.

Finally...

The leader is still so tough.

Isn't this just asking everyone to die?
Deep down, he had already backed down. It was fine to shout slogans, but he couldn't really fight!
but.

For Asano Yu, there is no turning back.

he knows.

Since Konoha has sent out ninjas, they must at least kill him and eliminate the faction within the Kusagakure that has sided with the Iwagakure before they can withdraw their troops.

He immediately summoned the ninja.

In just half an hour, dozens of jonin and two to three hundred chuunin in the village all gathered.

Just now.

"Asano Yu, I am leading the group so slowly, you should have gathered everyone by now, right?"

Jiraiya's voice, amplified by chakra, spread from the outside to the inside, covering most of the Kusagakure Village.

Then the voice sounded again.

"The leader of the Kusagakure Village, Asano Yu, broke his promise and signed an alliance agreement with the Iwagakure Village. They also discussed a joint attack on Konoha, with them providing the relevant intelligence and funds."

"I know that many people desire peace and do not want to start a war, so we in Konoha will only punish the main culprits. We will not kill those who do not participate in the battle or voluntarily withdraw."

Jiraiya read out this "statement" loudly.

Asano Yu was cold all over.

Konoha...

Too bad!
Once this statement is made, regardless of whether he wins or loses, his prestige in the village will be greatly damaged.

even.

Once he falls into a disadvantage, the elders and jonin might capture him to appease Konoha's anger.

He was trembling all over, and the biggest thought in his mind was——

escape!
but.

At this moment, many ninjas have surrounded him.

"Lord Chief."

"Let's go, I don't believe that we are worse than Konoha!"

Asano Yu gritted his teeth.

He understood that he had no way out.

Either lead the Kusagakure Village to defeat the powerful enemy in front of them, and then attack Konoha together with the Iwagakure Village to gain greater benefits.

Either...

Die, or be killed by the rest of the ninjas in the village!
He was desperate in his heart, but he still forced a smile and led everyone out, rushing to the front.

There is still a glimmer of hope!
Behind Asano Yu, there were dozens of ninjas, all of whom advocated fighting against Konoha.

He mustered up his courage to face Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

"Of course I have evidence."

Jiraiya took out a scroll and immediately recognized it as the document of alliance he had signed with Huang Tu of the Iwagakure Village. It was also his token of allegiance to the Iwagakure Village.

but.

Asano Yu already knew the information, so how could he show his weakness?
"If the Fire Nation wants to annex our Grass Nation, they can just come directly. Why bother with such a document?"

He looked around.

"Everyone, Konoha sent people to infiltrate our village before, and now they are bringing people here again. It is obvious that they have a plan in advance. We have to hold on, the ninjas from Iwagakure are coming."

"If we win, we can occupy more fertile land and get more money and commissions..."

Asano shouted loudly.

He had no intention of reasoning and directly instructed his men to prepare for an attack.

"Fight!"

"Fight them!"

Loud roars echoed throughout the village.

Jiraiya glanced around, his eyes filled with disappointment.

In the past, Konoha, the Land of Fire, was very kind to Kusagakure and the Land of Grass, and many conditions were very relaxed.

This was Sarutobi Hiruzen's policy.

He wanted to influence the Kusagakure Village and make them understand the goodness of Konoha, but...

Probation?

Ah!
Jiraiya felt more and more that communication and love were not enough to make each other empathize with each other, otherwise the scene before his eyes would not have happened.

A full 70%!

Seventy percent of the Kusanagi ninjas actually want to go to war with Konoha.

All because of profit.

Desire drives them. In the current situation, only strength and fists can calm the other party down so that they can discuss peace.

Jiraiya looked forward.

"Those who don't want to participate in the battle can step back and stand away now."

The crowd surged, and finally...

The three adults shrank back, Asano Yu snorted coldly, but said nothing.

Jiraiya closed his eyes, then he looked at Might Dai and Chen Baojun and whispered, "Go ahead and use your strongest strength."

"Yes!"

The two agreed.

Then——

Jingmen, open!

The green special chakra enveloped them, and the next moment, Might Dai gritted his teeth, and veins on his forehead bulged.

Open the door!

The seventh door opened again, exuding a terrifying aura at this moment.

Asano Yu and the Kusa ninja jonin were puzzled.

Why did the other party suddenly burst out chakra when he was hundreds of steps away?
but.

The next moment, all their pupils contracted.

because--

The other party was actually not far in front of them. How is it possible? ! !

Asano Yu, who was standing at the front, was shocked.

Even a jonin who is good at physical skills cannot reach them instantly.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

The ridiculous-looking Konoha ninja in front of him suddenly burst into blue aura and turned into a huge blue gas ball, which was like a beast out of a cage.

Hey!
He seemed to hear vaguely the roar of a tiger.

But, he could no longer hear.

boom!
The air mass swept through and turned everything into ruins.

What's even scarier is.

From the sky, fireballs fell like rain.

Six physical skills, towards the peacock!

The arrival of flames and ferocious beasts was like the power of destruction in the eyes of many Kusagakure ninjas. They fled, trampled, and caused chaos.

In the blink of an eye, the huge Kusagakure Village was filled with fear, panic, and endless despair.

In front of me...

A large area, nothing is left!

Not only were the people in the Kusagakure Village shocked and terrified, even the ninjas of Konoha were unable to remain calm, and many had expressions of shock and horror on their faces.

They all knew Matt Dai's situation.

A ten thousand year old Genin who only knows taijutsu.

The possibility of Dai mastering this level of ninjutsu is almost zero, so there is only one possibility -

This is a physical technique!
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Hiashi would not have believed that such physical skills actually existed in the world. Looking at the scene before him, he felt that all his views on life had been overturned.

No wonder...

Tsunade asked him to come along.

She probably also wanted to let him know that there is a kind of physical skill in the world that surpasses ordinary physical skills.

Rizu pursed his lips, his mind in confusion.

Dai and Chen Baojun took advantage of the effect of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and instantly appeared behind Jiraiya, looking as if nothing had happened.

There was dead silence in front of the Kusagakure Village.

These two attacks only killed about 30% to 40% of the ninjas in the front, but for the Kusagakure Village, just two people killed nearly half of the ninjas they had just gathered.

If there were more...

Just a few people can wipe out their entire village?
They were terrified.

"Now, tell me your answers. Do you still want to fight?"

Jiraiya glanced around.

Suddenly, the remaining people fell silent.

This scene was so shocking that it made them all silent.

They didn't dare to speak. They were all terrified to the extreme. It was good enough that they could remain standing, including the two elders.

After a long time, they came out trembling.

"We, we admit defeat! Please, please forgive us, Lord Jiraiya, and forgive our sins!"

They knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves, and begged for forgiveness.

Jiraiya fell silent.

"Hizuki, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes!"

Rizu tried hard to keep himself calm.

But he knew.

At this moment, all of his past views and beliefs were trampled under the feet of this forbidden physical technique called "Eight Gates Ninjutsu".

Through his white eyes, he knew clearly——

Although Dai and Chen Baojun were injured, their lives were not in danger. As long as they receive treatment, protection, and get enough rest, they can recover their previous combat ability.

As long as the eighth gate is not opened and the shackles of the human body are completely freed, it should be possible to open and close it continuously, and even when the body is strong enough, it can be regarded as an effect close to that of conventional physical techniques.

Can soft fist really surpass this kind of hard fist technique?

Hinata Hiashi walked towards the Kusagakure Village step by step, and behind him, many Konoha elites followed.

Compared to the entire Kusagakure Village, the destructive power of these two techniques is actually not that scary. If the Kusagakure Village were more dispersed, these techniques would not be able to generate such terrifying destructive power.

but.

Even for a few people alone, this technique is already an irresistible terror.

The exhausted Matt Dai and Chen Baojun looked at each other and forced smiles on their faces.

They came here today not to show how powerful they are, but to protect Konoha and the Land of Fire, to prove to everyone—

Physical ninjas can be just as strong, and can play a vital role in missions and battles!
They did it.

but.

They both looked at Jiraiya.

As the strategist, Jiraiya was not very happy at this moment.

After treatment and rest, Might Dai has felt much better. He walked to Jiraiya with difficulty.

"Jiraiya-sama..."

"Dai, do you think this is the right thing to do?"

Jiraiya looked towards the village.

Just one order, many ninjas from Kusagakure died, and their families suffered pain and misfortune.

He knew that this was definitely not peace, but rather domination and deterrence based on strength.

but.

Old man, can communication, love and mutual understanding bring peace?

He had no answer in his mind.

At this moment, he was very confused. He didn't know what the future held, and he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment about the scene before him.

It would be great if Jingyan were here.

That kid will definitely use the words he is best at to make himself accept the facts before him.

"Dai, don't mind me, I just..."

"Of course it is correct."

Matt Dai said seriously.

Jiraiya was stunned and looked at Dai. He didn't even expect Dai to answer.

After all, this kind of thing is not something a Genin would consider.

Dai expressed his own opinion.

"I don't know what peace is. I only know that the Kusagakure Village broke the alliance first. They have already started to act in a way that is detrimental to our country and village."

"If we are merciful to them, their money and information will eventually become swords that cut the bodies of our Fire Country people and ninjas."

“By then, who will the families of the fallen in our village turn to for peace?”

Might Guy's series of words and rhetorical questions left Jiraiya speechless.

He laughed to himself.

"Yeah, I don't understand this truth."

If the old man was in power, he might show goodwill on the surface and secretly hint to Danzo to lead the Root Organization to kill Asano Yu.

He will definitely do that.

but.

In that case, the Kusagakure Village might not be convinced, and the Iwagakure Village would be even less likely to be convinced.

"I hope this battle can make the Kusagakure Village face reality and the Iwagakure Village stay sober."

Jiraiya sighed.

"Ah."

Matt Dai nodded.

Under the deterrence of strength, the peace talks were very quick, and the remaining ninjas of Kusagakure soon expressed their complete surrender without any conditions.

As for Konoha's conditions.

"Master Jiraiya, I think we need to go back and discuss the conditions before making a decision, so..."

"Well, you're right. I forgot."

Jiraiya nodded.

He turned around and looked at the two elders of the Kusagakure Village, and then looked at the ninjas of Konoha.

"Let's go."

Many Konoha ninjas left.

There was an uncontrollable cry of pain in the Kusagakure Village.

Thirty to forty percent of the ninjas were lost.

It was a painful and tragic day for them.

"Hurry up and clean up this place."

The two elders were very rational, but also had deep resentment—

They don't hate Konoha.

From the past to the present, Konoha has been good to the Kusagakure Village and has basically done its best. It was Asano Yu who broke the alliance and contacted the Iwagakure Village first, and even signed the "alliance" first.

They both hated Ōnoki even more.

If it weren't for Onoki, how could Asano Yu be instigated step by step...

"He is just too stupid. He actually thought he could play both sides between Konoha and Iwagakure to improve the status of Kusagakure. I wanted to stop him, but I was too late."

A voice sounded.

They turned their heads and looked -

The lord of Kizuna Castle, the jonin of Kusagakure Village.

"It's no use for you to come earlier. He won't listen to us at all."

An elder said with a sigh.

"Since Uzumaki Yuki, I knew he would take this step one day, but I didn't expect Konoha to move so quickly."

"Inaction."

The two elders hesitated to speak.

Wu Wei said indifferently: "If a small ninja village like us gets involved in the game between the big ninja villages, wouldn't that be courting death?"

"We said the same thing, but... hey! Now the Kusagakure Village has no leader, otherwise, why don't you come back and be the leader?"

"I?"

Wuwei looked at them and then frowned.

"What about the prison?"

"The village needs your guidance. Send someone else from Kizuna Castle. Compared to that place, the future of Kusagakure Village is more important."

The two elders had pleading looks on their faces.

they know.

Wuwei is more inclined towards Konoha.

With him as the leader, such things will definitely not happen again in the short term.

and.

Now, they have no choice.

If you want to stand on the side of Konoha, you have to be the enemy of the Iwagakure Village, and Wuwei's strength is also crucial.

Wuwei was silent for a while.

Finally, he said, "Okay, but I have one condition. I will side with Konoha. From now on, the Kusagakure Village must listen to me. You can't hold me back."

"Of course!"
