Sometimes, fate and destiny are just that wonderfully mysterious.
Chapter 128 Orochimaru's Dangerous Plan.
As long as the Flying Thunder God Technique seal is left at the destination, theoretically, the Flying Thunder God Technique can traverse the entire ninja world in an instant, and its speed is unmatched in the current ninja world.
When the Land of Wind invaded the southwestern border of the Land of Fire, Akira Hatake and Kakashi were on a mission at the border. Given Akira's steady personality, he naturally left many Flying Thunder God Technique marks on the southwestern border of the Land of Fire.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique imprinted, the first prerequisite for Akira Hatake to provide rapid support has been met.
The second condition is Akira Hatake's total chakra reserves.
The distance that Akira Hatake needs to traverse from the northeastern border of the Land of Fire to the southwestern border is quite enormous, so the consumption of chakra naturally increases accordingly.
In the past, Akira Hatake might have had to rest several times before he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to cross such a long distance in an instant.
But things are different now; Akira Hatake's total chakra reserves have been boosted.
The biggest contributor to the increase in Akira Hatake's total chakra was the Book of Devouring Gods that he had previously purchased from the equipment shop.
[Passive - Bloodlust: When the user releases a ninjutsu or skill, as long as it deals damage to the enemy, 25% of the damage dealt will be converted into an equal amount of life energy and injected into the user.]
At first glance, the passive ability of the Book of Devouring Gods might seem unremarkable.
Converting 25% of the damage dealt into an equal amount of life energy and injecting it into oneself, this growth rate is really not that impressive compared to Akira Hatake's third skill.
However, please don't forget that Akira Hatake cannot use his third skill on himself, which means that he can only make up for it in other ways.
But there's also a saying that every little bit counts. Even if the life energy converted from a single attack is small, it will accumulate over time enough for Akira Hatake to achieve a great leap in his physical abilities.
In several clashes with the main force of the Hidden Cloud Village ninja, Akira Hatake dealt a considerable amount of damage. Even though he only gained a 25% life energy conversion rate, the cumulative effect was still quite terrifying.
This also led to a significant improvement in Akira Hatake's physique, and his total chakra naturally increased as well.
Moreover, the enhancement of his physique also indirectly increased Akira Hatake's tolerance for spatial travel, making him even more adept at using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In the blink of an eye, Akira Hatake paid the price of half of his chakra to travel from the northeastern border of the Land of Fire to the southwestern border of the Land of Fire, where Orochimaru's forces were stationed for defense.
The Konoha ninja were very nervous about Akira Hatake's sudden appearance in the camp. If Hatake hadn't revealed his identity in time, an internal conflict might have been inevitable.
After the explanation, although the Konoha ninjas were still somewhat incredulous, it was undeniable that Akira Hatake was indeed a Konoha ninja.
"We've been waiting for reinforcements, and he's the only one there?!"
"It seems that's how it is. I really don't know what the Third Hokage was thinking..."
"Shh, is the Third Hokage someone you can talk about?"
"Let's all keep quiet. If the person coming to help is Akira Hatake, then we're in for a treat."
"That's Akira Hatake..."
"Yes, a powerful ninja who severely injured the Third Raikage and defeated the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki during the war with the Land of Lightning!"
"Hiss...! This must be a rumor, right? As far as I know, he's only 9 years old!"
"Whether it's a rumor or not, everything will be revealed once Akira Hatake goes to the battlefield. Besides, age is not a unit of measurement for genius."
"..."
Led by a ninja, Akira Hatake headed straight for Orochimaru's command tent, and some of the discussions around him still reached his ears.
Akira Hatake did not show much emotion in response.
"Lord Orochimaru, Chunin Akira Hatake has come to reinforce the southwestern defense line on the orders of Lord Jiraiya!"
As soon as he entered the tent, Akira Hatake shouted loudly, and Orochimaru, who was lying on the table studying the formation, naturally looked up and sized Akira Hatake up and down.
"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly." Orochimaru licked his lips. "What an amazing junior!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Orochimaru."
"You're qualified." Orochimaru said casually, then beckoned to Akira Hatake, "Come here for a moment and see if there's anything that needs to be improved in this battle plan I devised."
Hearing Orochimaru say this, Akira Hatake did not show any fear. He strode forward and glanced down at the field map spread on the table.
After carefully reading it two or three times, Akira Hatake frowned slightly.
It's not that Orochimaru's strategy was bad, but rather that the strategy he devised was highly risky and involved significant sacrifices.
Of course, huge risks and sacrifices are often accompanied by huge benefits. As long as Orochimaru's strategic plan can be completed, the Land of Wind will be unable to launch a large-scale invasion of the southwestern border of the Land of Fire in the short term.
"Lord Orochimaru, the strategy is brilliant, but I feel the risks and casualties are still a bit high."
"Heh, that's the opinion of almost everyone." Orochimaru's snake-like eyes were filled with madness. "If we don't do it this way, how can we achieve the greatest results with the least number of troops?"
“If Lord Orochimaru has made up his mind, I have no objection.” Akira Hatake did not refute. “I will resolutely carry out the task you have assigned.”
"Alright." Orochimaru nodded, quite satisfied with Akira Hatake's attitude, because Akira Hatake was a crucial part of his plan.
If Akira Hatake doesn't cooperate, Orochimaru's plan will be difficult to carry out, and failure will almost certainly be inevitable.
Akira Hatake didn't see anything wrong with this.
As a Chunin, he has absolutely no say in this war; all he can do now is complete the numerous tasks assigned to him.
"Ming, according to the available intelligence, the current Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure is named Rasa. His Magnet Release technique is very troublesome, and it is even more powerful in the desert environment."
"While Bunfuku, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, is an old man on his deathbed, he is an outstanding Jinchuriki who can maintain his rationality even when he is in Tailed Beast form."
"These two had previously attacked our unit together, causing serious casualties, so I plan to separate them."
"And you are in charge of Bunfuku, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast. Utilize the special properties of the Flying Thunder God Technique to restrain Bunfuku while striving to kill as many Sunagakure ninja as possible."
Orochimaru quickly and briefly explained the task that Akira Hatake was responsible for, then patted Akira on the shoulder and gave him a meaningful look.
"I've read your mission report about fighting the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure. That Flying Thunder God Guide Lightning that can transfer Tailed Beast Balls is amazing."
Akira Hatake's achievements spread quickly during the war, because no Konoha leader would be foolish enough to engage in internal strife at this time.
Therefore, in order to boost the morale of the Konoha troops, it is necessary for the Konoha leadership to establish one or more "heroic" role models.
Akira Hatake naturally became a beneficiary of this strategy, and his reputation grew at an astonishing speed.
"What does Lord Orochimaru mean?" Hatake Akira frowned almost imperceptibly.
"I've selected a squadron of elite ninjas, and I need you to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport them to this location I've specified!"
Hey.
Orochimaru pointed his finger at the field map, which marked the heart of the Sunagakure ninja force and also the most important location for Sunagakure's war supplies.
“I understand.” Akira Hatake nodded. “Then when do we begin executing the plan?”
"tonight!"
……
Meanwhile, the Sand Village ninja forces were stationed at their camp.
"Fenfu, how are you feeling?"
The newly appointed Fourth Hokage, Rasa, looked with concern at the old monk, Fenfu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a sorrowful expression.
“We should be able to hold out until the war ends.” Bunfuku sighed. “Fourth Kazekage, I think this war is completely meaningless.”
"Sharing blessings is not something you should be concerned about."
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who had just been looking concerned, suddenly changed his attitude by 180 degrees.
Rasa coldly remarked, his eyes barely concealing his disgust for Bunfuku, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, "Keep Shukaku under control inside you, and don't let it suddenly go berserk at inopportune times."
"Fourth Kazekage, please rest assured, Shukaku has been behaving itself lately."
"That's good. Since you're alright, get some rest. Tonight, you'll join me in launching another large-scale attack on Orochimaru's forces!"
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, clenched his fist tightly. "We have an absolute numerical advantage, yet we're still unable to take down Orochimaru, this tough nut to crack. It's laughable!"
"You're planning to make me... transform into a tailed beast again?"
Bunpuku's face was full of bitterness. "Although I can stay conscious when I'm in my tailed beast form, I still can't suppress the restless Shukaku if it goes on for too long."
"You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to transform into a tailed beast in Orochimaru's territory, and leave the rest to me."
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa turned and left, leaving Bunpuku sitting alone, lost in thought.
"You old codger, do you see this? This is what you humans are like!"
After the Fourth Kazekage left, Shukaku, sealed within Bunfuku, began to rant, "If you ask me, you don't need to care about that guy Rasa at all, and you don't need to care about this war. We can completely stay out of it."
I think it's a good idea for us to run away together. Anyway, you don't have many years left to live. After you die, I can always rise to power again!
"Shukaku, I understand what you're saying, but I can't abandon Sunagakure, because I was born here..."
Fenfu still looked bitter and resentful. Given his relationship with Shouhe, how could he not understand the subtext in Shouhe's words?
Since childhood, Bunfuku had Shukaku, the one-tailed beast, sealed inside him. After so many years of living together and Bunfuku's friendly attitude towards Shukaku, the two of them slowly became friends.
Although Shukaku is stubborn and speaks harshly, Fenfu can hear the concern in his words.
Given Bunpuku's current physical condition, while he might still be able to transform into a tailed beast, doing so over time would definitely put an extremely heavy burden on his body.
This could even cause Fenfu to die prematurely...
"I really don't understand you. They've been treating you so roughly all along." Shukaku's voice was muffled, with a hint of hatred in it. "If it were me, I would definitely send two Tailed Beast Balls to Sunagakure!"
"Alright, Shukaku, I'll have to trouble you again tonight..." Bunpuku didn't want to discuss these issues with Shukaku anymore. "Please..."
"snort……!"
With a reluctant groan from Shukaku, the man and the tailed beast fell silent.
Chapter 129 Flying Thunder God Kunai - Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!
That night,
The Sunagakure forces, led by Rasa, clashed once again with the Konoha ninja forces, led by Orochimaru.
In the hazy night, firelight and lightning intertwined, occasionally punctuated by sparks from exploding detonators.
Earthen walls, flowing water, and howling winds, like a symphony, played out a concerto of offense and defense on the battlefield.
If we disregard the blood river that gradually converges into streams, the above scene is absolutely beautiful.
But the truth is that this kind of beauty is built on worthless human lives, and death becomes the main theme that happens every moment on the battlefield.
