Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

October 13, Konoha 49.

The autumn wind was bleak, and sand and dust flew everywhere.

"Jonin Shikaku! The Iwa ninja army is advancing towards the Land of Fire!" A ninja rushed into the tent to report.

Nara Shikaku nodded calmly. "I understand. Go and notify the other Jonin to assemble here. I'll come up with the battle plan."

Upon hearing this, the flustered ninja immediately calmed down and quickly replied, "Yes."

Soon, more than a dozen Jonin, including Minato, Tsunade, and Kurenai, arrived at the tent. Hiruzen Sarutobi was also present.

Shikaku nodded slightly, unfolding the map he had prepared beforehand and presenting it to everyone.

"Gentlemen, according to intelligence, the Iwa ninja army is advancing this way. Among them, Mount Aomatsu, Twilight Valley, and Emerald River are their inevitable routes. Therefore, as long as we can block these three places, we will win."

"According to intelligence, Onoki is heading towards Aomatsu-yama, so please have the Third Hokage head there now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly. "Alright, leave this to me."

Shikaku nodded, then pointed to Twilight Valley and looked at Minato, "I'd like to trouble Jonin Minato to go to Twilight Valley. The terrain there is complicated. Your Flying Thunder God Technique can limit the Iwa ninja to the greatest extent. If nothing unexpected happens, Yotsuchi, who is good at using Earth Release, should be here."

Minato Namikaze nodded. As long as someone's speed wasn't slower than his, he could suppress them. And in terms of pure speed, there were few ninjas in the entire ninja world who were faster than him.

Shikaku finally pointed to the Emerald River, "Since Jiraiya is away from the village most of the year, and Orochimaru is in Root, I'll trouble Tsunade, Jonin, and Crimson, Jonin... to guard the Emerald River. Beyond this river lies the Land of Fire."

Tsunade nodded, stretched her limbs, patted her impressive chest, and said, "Leave it to us."

Soon, Shikaku had rationally assigned all the Jonin to different locations. He looked at everyone, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The enemy is coming on strong, but we are not to be trifled with. I hope everyone can show the spirit of Konoha and let them know why Konoha is called the leader of the Five Great Villages!"

Everyone left, and Shikaku waited alone in the tent.

Soon, several figures appeared inside the tent. Without exception, they were all wearing masks of different animals; they were the captains of the Dark Division.

Shikaku looked at everyone and slowly said, "Everyone, lie in wait in the shadows, waiting for your opportunity."

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi went to the battlefield, and Shikaku, as the overall commander of the operation, temporarily had the authority to mobilize the Anbu.

The captains didn't speak, and disappeared in an instant. There was no need for them to speak; the secret service operated without asking why or how, only for the result.

Shikaku pulled back the tent flap, the dim light falling on his face. He squinted, looking at the dark clouds in the distance.

"It's truly... a dark cloud looming over the city."

He slowly reached out and placed his hand on his heart. "There's always this...uneasy feeling."

……

October 14th, Qingsong Mountain,

Hiruzen Sarutobi, wielding his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's Staff), looked up at the small figure suspended in mid-air. His imposing aura as a Kage-level shinobi slowly rose, like a volcano about to erupt, and he spoke softly:

"Oonoki, what's wrong? Do you think Konoha is a pushover?"

At the same time, his chest suddenly bulged out, his cheeks puffed out like a toad gathering strength, and he frantically gathered the pure and powerful fire chakra in his body into his throat!

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

A fiery dragon shot into the sky, and a shockwave of intense heat, so intense it distorted vision, emanated from it and hurtled towards Onoki.

Onoki's eyes narrowed. Facing Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the strongest Hokage, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Dust Release: Particle Style Detachment Technique".

A cone-shaped beam of light streaked across the fire dragon. The next moment, the two forces collided, unleashing a violent explosion. The resulting surging shockwave instantly engulfed the ninja army below, and countless ninjas were swept away by the aftershocks.

Although Onoki can also use Earth Release, he mostly uses Dust Release, making him a dedicated ninja.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, was known as the "Professor of Ninja." In principle, he knew all of Konoha's ninjutsu and was a sentimental ninja.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A high wall rose beneath his feet as Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing atop it, approached Onoki. The clash between these Kage-level powerhouses reverberated throughout Mount Seishon.

The two shadows fought fiercely, but it was tough on the ordinary ninjas below, who had to exert all their strength just to withstand the aftershocks.

It's like gods fighting, and mortals suffer.

……

Twilight Valley

"Earth Escape Technique: Earth Mountain Technique".

Huang Tu slammed his hands on the ground, and instantly, the earth shook violently. Two enormous hemispheres rose from the ground on either side, threatening to crush the Konoha ninja inside!

This move has a huge range; no Konoha ninja within twenty meters will escape unscathed. If successful, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Konoha ninja.

This single move clearly demonstrates why Jonin are the backbone of the village; the destructive power of a Jonin is comparable to that of dozens of Chunin.

At the critical moment, a blond-haired man instantly appeared in the center of the two hemispheres, and a clear voice rang in the ears of the Konoha ninja.

"Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder".

With a whoosh, the two hemispheres were moved several miles away.

Huang Tu's expression was solemn as he looked at the young man, who was about the same age as him, and slowly exhaled.

"Yellow Flash, truly lives up to its name."

Minato smiled slightly, a kunai hanging in his palm. "It seems that what follows is a battle between the two of us."

Huang Tu glanced at the Konoha ninjas around him, feeling somewhat helpless. He had originally planned to use his wide-range Earth Release technique to quickly eliminate the Konoha ninjas, but now it seemed that he couldn't continue forward without dealing with Minato first.

"Yellow Flash, I've heard so much about you. Perfect timing, I'd like to challenge you, the ninja known as the fastest in the ninja world."

As soon as he finished speaking, his pupils contracted sharply, and the water gate in front of him disappeared, replaced by the whistling sound of wind in his ears.

He thought to himself, "That's fucking fast."

You hear their voice before you see them!

"Rasengan!"

boom--!

A figure was sent flying, and Huang Tu's consciousness was momentarily dazed. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he covered his body with a layer of rock and soil, otherwise he would have been finished.

However, the next moment, his hair stood on end, and a figure appeared above his head in mid-air, the transparent chakra dumpling growing larger and larger before his eyes...

"This is... Flying Thunder God Technique Second Stage," Minato said, delivering a block!

With a loud bang, the loess was slammed directly into the ground.

"Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!" the Konoha ninja cheered.

"As expected of Lord Minato!"

"Minato-sama is the fastest!"

Huang Tu cursed inwardly: Damn it! I can't even hit him! Flying Thunder God Technique, that's incredibly underhanded!

……

Emerald Green River

boom--

With overwhelming force, Tsunade slammed her fist into the river, instantly causing it to surge! Rocks flew everywhere, creating huge waves that submerged a large number of Iwa ninja.

"Holy crap! What's wrong with that woman? She didn't even use ninjutsu, is that strength for real?!" The surviving Iwa ninja swallowed hard, looking at Tsunade's monstrous strength, and felt a sense of despair.

However, soon after, a Jonin from Iwagakure took the initiative to attack Tsunade. He was exceptionally strong and extremely fast, and for a time, he fought Tsunade to a standstill.

Facing the ninja in front of her, Yuhi Shinku quickly formed hand seals.
