Naruto: Starting by Teaching Tsunade Modernization

Haruki was sitting high in the hall.

The leaders of other departments were seated on both sides.

After Haruki gave the order, Fugaku Uchiha quickly led his men away.

Normally, the Anbu should handle searches and interrogations.

However, the Sharingan could obtain intelligence in an extremely short time.

Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tanzo Shimura in the past didn't dare to let the Uchiha join the Anbu.

Haruki was different. He used anyone who was useful.

While waiting, he observed the courtyard.

In terms of the way of speaking in his past life, it could be called a government office.

But after all, it was set in a Japanese background, so the name was different.

The highest - ranking official title was "kami", and the secondary one was "suke".

For example, the local official of Chiba was called the Kami of Chiba.

Just then, Haruki looked up. There was thick smoke rising from a room on the right side of the courtyard, followed by thunder.

"Do you want me to go and check it out?"

Sakumo Hatake immediately grabbed his tanto. "Those who could make Fugaku take action should not be ordinary guards, but ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village."

"No need."

Haruki shook his head. His sensor ability was clearer than Sakumo Hatake's.

The battle was already over.

A moment later, Fugaku pushed the door open and entered.

Behind him followed a middle - aged man in gorgeous official robes. He should be the Kami of Chiba.

"Lord Haruki."

Fugaku smiled and said, "We made a great discovery underground, a huge amount of food and ninja tools, and nine Anbu members from Cloud Hidden Village, one of whom was a Jonin."

Haruki pondered slightly and understood the whole story.

Cloud Hidden Village had formulated The Plan to Assassinate Tsunade. Whether it succeeded or not, they were ready for war.

As a port city and a transportation hub, it was normal for Chiba to store supplies in advance.

But Cloud Hidden Village never expected that Konoha would dare to penetrate deep into the Land of Lightning.

If, following the previous convention, the war was confined to the buffer zones between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, within several small countries, it would be more advantageous to Cloud Hidden Village.

Haruki looked at the Kami of Chiba.

He was shivering, trying hard to stand upright so as not to buckle at the knees.

However, noticing Haruki's gaze, he naturally knelt down.

"G... Lord..."

"Tell me when the vanguard of Cloud Hidden Village will arrive?"

Haruki was too lazy to talk to him and asked directly.

The middle - aged man's face immediately showed a hesitant look.

But just one second later, he betrayed Cloud Hidden Village.

"I received news that they've reached the upper reaches of the Chiba River. They'll be in Chiba in less than an hour."

"Take him away."

Haruki got the answer he wanted and waved his hand.

"My lord! I've confessed everything!"

The middle - aged man didn't forget to show his loyalty to Haruki before leaving.

"A fence - sitter (someone who doesn't take a clear side)."

Hiashi Hyuga beside him couldn't help frowning and said, "Lord Haruki, keeping this kind of person is of no benefit to us."

"The Anbu will deal with it. If he really hasn't committed any bad deeds, he may be spared."

Haruki said casually.

However, he didn't believe that the Kami of Chiba was an honest and upright official.

Hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga didn't say anything more.

"This is a map I found in the study," Fugaku took out a map and spread it out in front of Haruki.

Haruki glanced at it. The Chiba River was the moat of Chiba. Chiba was located downstream, and the upstream originated from a mountain range.

"Let's set up an ambush here," Haruki said, pointing to the middle section of the Chiba River.

...

Dusk fell, and the sky grew darker.

Tsuchiyo looked around. The reeds were lush, and the weather was cool.

As the vanguard commander, he led two thousand ninjas to the Land of Rice Paddies. He got news of the movements of the nobles in the Land of Fire in the afternoon.

Based on various intelligence, the Land of Fire and Konoha were preparing to start a war in the Land of Rice Paddies. This was in line with previous practices.

The last Great Ninja World War took place in the Land of Rain.

"How's the situation?" Tsuchiyo turned to the Anbu Commander beside him.

"No abnormalities," the Anbu Commander shook his head and said. "We haven't found any Konoha ninjas along the way. The Anbu in Chiba City also contacted us half an hour ago, and everything is fine."

Tsuchiyo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were called the vanguard, they were actually an engineering team. Their goal was to use Earth Release to build outposts in the Land of Rice Paddies.

When the main force arrived, they would use the outposts as bases to form a defensive line.

Ninjas rarely engaged in large - scale frontal wars. They usually formed squads of three to take on various duties and fought within a limited area.

Unless it was a crucial battle, small - scale combat was the norm to give full play to the individual abilities of ninjas.

Two thousand vanguards was a large number.

The group ran along the Chiba River. The only sound was the gurgling of the water.

Suddenly, Tsuchiyo stopped. Before he could say a word, a louder noise drowned him out.

It was like the prelude to the release of fireworks. A searing heat gushed from afar.

Everyone involuntarily looked up, and their vision was filled with bright red flames.

Countless fireballs!

The surface of the Chiba River steamed with mist due to the heatwave. The waist - high reeds began to burn. The fragments fluttered with the flames.

Fire Release! Enemy attack!

These two words flashed through Tsuchiyo's mind. He immediately formed Hand Seals and shouted, "Everyone, use Earth Release!"

Most of the ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village were proficient in Lightning Release, but there were also those with other attributes.

Well, over one - third of these two thousand ninjas were skilled in Earth Release, considering their mission.

After hearing Tsuchiyo's order, their Chakra surged wildly.

In an instant, a sound rang out, and a composite wall immediately took shape.

Earth Release: Earth - Style Wall of Ten Thousand Ri!

It was so large that it enveloped them all.

Tsuchiyo quickly wiped the sweat off his face. Feeling the tremors of the wall, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Fortunately, he had brought enough Earth - Release ninjas. Otherwise, things could have been very troublesome.

But then he realized something was wrong.

Such a wide - range Fire Release could only be from Konoha. How did they end up in the Land of Lightning?!

A sense of foreboding welled up in Tsuchiyo's heart.

"Heavenly Fire!"

After a few seconds of his contemplation, he clearly heard two words.

What is Heavenly Fire?

In an instant, he sensed that the air in front of him was filled with flames.

There was a pungent smell of gunpowder, and the air was filled with omnipresent Chakra.

Tsuchiyo didn't even have time to understand what kind of attack it was.

He saw the ninja in front of him and the wall formed by Earth Release explode violently.

The explosion was deafening.

As the wall collapsed, he saw a blue glow.

It emerged from the barrels of guns in the hands of ninjas with white eyes.

They were members of the Hyuga Clan.

This thought flashed through Tsuchiyo's mind.

Immediately, his body trembled.

The blue glow rained down from the sky, creating a hell of fire in front of them.

In this hell, his subordinates let out shrill screams.

Heavenly Fire penetrated their bodies and then exploded.

Torn and split flesh fell on Tsuchiyo's face and body.

In his decades - long career as a ninja, he had never seen such a war.

This wasn't a war; it was an absolute massacre!

However, this massacre didn't stop.

After a ten - second shooting, the ninjas of the Hyuga Clan finally retreated.

"Water Dragons!"

Another merciless voice rang out.

Tsuchiyo couldn't help but search for the source of the voice.

But the next moment, the Chiba River roared and countless water dragons shot up into the sky.

The chaotic flow of Chakra and the still - burning flames met the gushing water, causing mist to rise.

"Sky Attack!"

It was like the chilling call of the Grim Reaper.

Tsuchiyo felt something falling from the sky in the mist.

"How could this happen?!"

He was extremely shocked.

The ninjas chosen as the vanguard were at least Chunin. However, now they were dropping like flies.

A few seconds later, he saw the killing monsters.

They were black - mechanical creations all over, full of a rugged and majestic beauty.
