Naruto: Accidentally Unlocking a Fantasy Era

"Is there still time to study ninjutsu at the front lines?"

"These were all created by him before, and he's only submitting them now."

Just mentioning Hiruzen Sarutobi makes me angry. He took advantage of a loophole, but it's really hard to close that loophole because Gold's ninjutsu is just too effective.

If more of these were available, it would significantly increase Konoha's strength.

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzo snorted coldly: "Let's talk about what to do about the Land of Rain next."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject.

"Then let Orochimaru lead the team to the battlefield in the Land of Rain."

"Hiruzen, Orochimaru's abilities are not enough," Danzo interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I will be leading the Rain Kingdom team this time."

"Danzo, you need to face the attack from the Cloud Ninja."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement made Danzo frown; the Cloud Village had suffered serious injuries during the First Shinobi World War and hadn't fully recovered yet.

They are unlikely to take the initiative.

This also disrupted Danzo's plan to go to the front lines to recruit talent.

"You'll regret letting the immature Orochimaru lead the team, Hiruzen."

Danzo's face darkened.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi has already reached a conclusion.

News of Orochimaru's plan to open up a battlefield in the Land of Rain spread quickly.

This is also a way to encourage the village's ninjas to contribute to the village voluntarily.

Might Guy, who was helping a wealthy merchant move goods, also learned the news from the ninjas by the roadside.

"The front lines?"

Matt Day fell into deep thought.

I helped a wealthy businessman move goods for a day, and finally went to the mission office to settle my wages.

Looking at the two thousand taels of silver notes in his hand.

"Diapers, milk, clothes, and future ninja tools, tuition fees."

He did the calculations carefully and then sighed.

He carefully placed the money inside his clothes with his muddy hands.

I arrived at the door of my remote home.

"Xiao Kai, grow up quickly and help your father."

A gentle female voice came from inside.

Matt Daly smiled, pushed open the door, and walked into the house.

"I am back."

The gentle wife was comforting the child when she saw Dai return.

"The food is on the table."

After saying that, he continued to coax the newborn baby, who was reaching out his little hands to grab something and giggling incessantly.

"You've worked hard." Matt Daly scratched his head awkwardly. "Sorry, I only have two thousand taels today."

The wife smiled and said, "That's enough to cover our expenses for the time being."

Matt Day sat down at the table and began to eat his wife's cooking.

He has a gentle wife and a lovely son.

He was actually quite satisfied.

The income of a genin is barely enough to cover the family's expenses, and with a little effort, they can save some money for Dai by the end of the month.

As long as we can live peacefully like this, that's good enough.

Is it really okay to just continue like this, peacefully?

Matt Day stopped eating, his lips twitched, and he suddenly sped up, forcefully shoveling the food into his mouth.

"Delicious! It's so delicious!"

Matt Day's unusual behavior alerted his wife to the problem.

After all, this man can be just like a child sometimes.

Perhaps sensing something, Matt Kai closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Only then did his wife sit down at the dining table.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The couple faced each other.

Matt Day put down his chopsticks, his beard covered in rice grains, took a deep breath, and then spoke in a very loud voice.

"I want to protect the village, I want to give you a better life, I want..."

"Go to the front lines!"

Chapter 41 Orochimaru and Might Guy

In the training grounds of Konoha.

One by one, the ninjas wearing green vests were all in position.

Some ninjas were also stationed around the perimeter to prevent other villagers from investigating.

After all, there are still spies in the village.

Among the ninjas standing in the training ground.

Many of them are very young.

Orochimaru's eyes were downcast.

These young children make up half of the group.

They were also among the kids who were forced to graduate early.

The teaching at ninja academies is primarily educational, while becoming a ninja focuses on missions, and the growth rate is much faster than at ninja academies.

A year of training has indeed made them a formidable force.

They had also seen blood during the mission, so they wouldn't be too afraid of life-or-death battles.

Doing missions and going to the battlefield are two different things.

He didn't think these children would survive on the battlefield.

He now feels that what he's doing is leading them to their deaths.

But these were the few remaining resources in the village.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi graduated from the Ninja Academy early, he still had some conscience and did not send him to the battlefield immediately, but instead served as a defensive force for the village.

To save his conscience, he shifted the blame onto Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't care at all.

"Gentlemen, for the sake of Konoha, may our martial prowess be restored!"

"For Konoha! May the martial world prosper!" the crowd shouted in unison. Judging from their excited expressions, they were clearly unaware that they were heading to the most dangerous battlefield.

Orochimaru had no words left to boost morale, and he remained silent even when facing some of the younger ninjas.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals and don't care about these things, but Orochimaru is a human, and humans inevitably act on emotions.

But the impact of his emotions on him was only somewhat limited.

Just as he was about to set off with his men.

The ninjas guarding the training grounds became confused.

Sounds came from the chaotic area.

"I want to see Orochimaru, the Jonin! I want to go to the front lines too!"

Orochimaru frowned. All the forces the village could muster were here; the rest were just ninjas guarding the village.

Or perhaps they were ninjas who were utterly useless on the battlefield.

I heard a commotion outside.

The Jonin next to Orochimaru was kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Orochimaru is a useless genin with no ninja talent. I will get rid of him immediately."
