Naruto: Starting by Teaching Tsunade Modernization

Tsuchiyo suddenly felt that the world before his eyes was very strange.

The Konoha ninjas he met today bore no resemblance to those he had known before.

They were completely beyond his impression.

So much so that he began to suspect if there was something wrong with his memory.

The shock lasted for a moment, and then he was awakened by the screams.

He came to his senses. At this moment, they had already been defeated, and there was no chance of victory at all.

The Konoha ninjas gave him the impression of being professional.

There were unified commands and well - trained combat.

Tsuchiyo had only seen this in the elite army of the Land of Lightning.

Who on earth treated ninjas like an army?

He naturally knew how difficult it was.

Tsuchiyo raised his hand and shouted loudly, "I'm the commander of the Vanguard Army of the Cloud Hidden Village. We surrender!"

His words spread through the mist.

The ninjas in exoskeleton power suits looked at Haruki and waited for his order.

"Let him come over."

Hearing this, Tsuchiyo took a deep breath. Even if they couldn't win, he had to obtain some intelligence.

At this moment, he realized that the Cloud Hidden Village's intelligence about the Konoha Village was far too outdated.

In the previous battle, their vanguard army was completely disoriented and directly beaten to the verge of collapse by the powerful firepower.

Tsuchiyo silently followed the two ninjas in front of him.

His eyes fell on the remaining Cloud Hidden Village ninjas around him. There was a bit of pity in his eyes, but more of it was determination.

The riverside at night was illuminated by the flames.

Tsuchiyo's breathing stopped for a moment.

Dense Konoha ninjas stood on both sides of the riverbank with an immovable momentum.

No one whispered to one another, and no one made any unnecessary movements.

The queue was so orderly that it seemed like a single entity.

Tsuchiyo stepped forward and looked at Haruki.

He had never met Haruki, but he knew his portrait.

He just never thought that the commander of this team would be him.

He was just a son - in - law.

Previously, he thought it would be Sakumo Hatake or Orochimaru.

Even Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga seemed to be more reasonable choices.

He was just a medical ninja.

"What's your name?"

Haruki looked at him calmly.

Since Tsuchiyo had never met him, he, of course, had never met Tsuchiyo either.

"Tsuchiyo."

Tsuchiyo bowed slightly to show his attitude.

Hearing this name, Haruki immediately recalled some long - standing memories.

An upper - rank ninja from the Cloud Hidden Village, highly trusted by the Third Raikage, and capable of using Lava Release.

He had no other impression other than that.

"You wanted to see me. Why?" Haruki was a little surprised by his surrender.

"I want to know why you're here?" Tsuchiyo asked in confusion, "Normally, it's impossible to be this fast."

"We came from the sea."

"From the sea?" Tsuchiyo was slightly stunned, "How could... The Land of Iron?!"

Although there was an ocean between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, a normal sea voyage would be even longer than traveling by land. This was an impossible thing.

There was no need for Haruki to lie to him.

The only possibility was to pass through the Land of Iron and then cross the sea.

Thinking of this possibility, he became extremely anxious.

The Fourth Raikage and the others had absolutely no idea. The time difference here was fatal.

What's worse is that those Konoha ninjas didn't play by the rules and directly invaded the Land of Lightning.

"Looks like you've guessed the answer. Any more questions?"

Haruki couldn't help but smile when he saw the man's expression.

Confident of victory, he didn't mind having a chat with the character from the original story.

"I have many questions, but I bet you won't tell me."

Tsuchiyo sighed and forced a bitter smile. "Your actions were completely beyond our expectations, so..."

He paused, then looked up, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

An all - consuming aura engulfed his entire body.

Tsuchiyo's hands turned into magma and he slammed them towards Haruki in front of him.

Moreover, the moment he attacked, the ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village behind him immediately rushed forward.

The ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village moved at an extremely fast speed, like a volcanic eruption. Amid the deafening noise, their chakra swirled like a gust of wind, covering Haruki's head and crashing down.

No one expected the Cloud Hidden Village to fight to the death.

Sakumo Hatake and the others were suddenly stunned.

"Is this [Lava Release]?"

Haruki reached out his hand and grabbed Tsuchiyo's fist.

The magma flowed over his skin without causing the slightest bit of damage.

"Seems a bit lacking."

He looked up and smiled.

Tsuchiyo's face turned deathly pale. He shouted, "This is impossible! Are you a human or a ghost?!"

Haruki raised his eyebrows. Countless vines burst out of the ground, wrapped in various kinds of chakra. They instantly swallowed everything and then transformed into wooden swords, piercing through all the remaining ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village.

"[Wood Release]?!"

Tsuchiyo stared with wide eyes and slumped to the ground.

Impossible!

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Haruki glanced at Tsuchiyo, and a wooden sword easily sliced off his head.

"Fugaku, use [Fire Release] to burn all the bodies."

"Yes!"

Fugaku immediately used [Fire Release] to clear the field.

Tsuchiyo's body gradually turned into charcoal.

Haruki bent down and picked up a crystal - like object.

It wasn't a treasure but a message carrier.

The reason Tsuchiyo surrendered was that he wanted to know the intelligence.

If Haruki's guess was correct, if they hastily disposed of the bodies, this crystal would fly away soon, or the ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village would come to retrieve it.

He crushed the crystal and said with a smile, "Why bother? If you want the Raikage to know the intelligence, I can fulfill your wish."

The deaths of two thousand ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village could never be hidden.

Oh!

Rather than letting them conduct more investigations, it was better to tell them directly.

"Sakumo, make public the fact that our ten - thousand Konoha ninjas are ambushing the Vanguard Army of the Cloud Hidden Village."

The light in Sakumo Hatake's eyes flickered slightly.

He quickly understood what Haruki meant.

Use the numerical advantage to cover up the real killing move, and it's more beneficial to keep new - style equipment like [Heavenly Fire] hidden for as long as possible.

Emphasize the number of ten thousand, so that the ninja world, especially the Cloud Hidden Village, would believe that Konoha only won because of the large number of ninjas.

"Okay, I'll have the Anbu leak the news."

Sakumo Hatake nodded and then asked, "What should we do next?"

"Go to the Otagata Mountains."

Haruki didn't hesitate and stated his original plan. 

Ten thousand ninja troops may not seem like a large amount, but it's still not enough when they go deep behind enemy lines.

Facing the Land of Lightning and Cloud Hidden Village, which can provide support at any time, they don't need to launch a large-scale war.

Their new-style equipment isn't powerful enough to overwhelm the enemy.

Moreover, the plains are advantageous for the Tailed Beasts.

Haruki plans to use the ubiquitous mountains in the Land of Lightning to establish defensive lines.

Combined with Heavenly Fire and Gattling guns, they'll become powerful artillery positions.

"Also, inform Minato to let those nobles know about our achievements. And tell them that we've opened the door to the Land of Lightning for them."

Haruki snorted and said, "If they don't advance now, when will they?"

"They probably won't be of much help to us."

Sakumo Hatake never quite understood Haruki's intentions.

If they enter the Land of Lightning, the Daimyo will definitely send troops to stop them. What's the point?

Haruki glanced at him and said, "Whether they're useful or not isn't determined by their strength, but by us."

Sakumo thought for a while and didn't ask any more questions.

Only Haruki, Minato, and Kengo Hirabayashi knew that the nobles wanted to seize the Daimyo's position.

Haruki didn't tell him because of Sakumo's so-called samurai's spirit, to avoid opposition.

Once the deed is done, he won't say anything either.

Besides, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the safer it is.

After all, it's a heinous act in the ninja world.

When Haruki led his troops to the Otagata Mountains, the news that all two thousand vanguard troops from Cloud Hidden Village had been wiped out spread quickly.

All the countries and ninja villages received the intelligence.

They all had the same expressions: shock and disbelief.

Wasn't the Declaration of War only issued yesterday?

How could two thousand ninjas be dead today?

Two thousand ninjas isn't a small number.

The number of casualties in the last Great Ninja World War didn't exceed ten thousand.

After all, only the Five Great Villages can field a ninja army of over ten thousand.

Other small ninja villages can barely muster one or two thousand at most.

In other words, a small country was wiped out in one day.

And why is Konoha so fast?

In the Raikage Building.

The new Fourth Raikage, A, opened the scroll with a trembling hand. He asked in a somber tone, "So, Lord Tsuchiyo is dead?"

As a Jonin highly favored and trusted by the Third Raikage, A grew up under Tsuchiyo's care.

He had just left, and now he heard the news of Tsuchiyo's death.

It felt like a nightmare.

"Yes."

Toroi replied with a puzzled and sorrowful expression, "Not only Tsuchiyo, but none of the two thousand ninjas came back alive."

"How could this happen..."

The Fourth Raikage slumped into his office chair.

He never imagined that the first step in their revenge would cost another two thousand lives.

These weren't Genin.

They were the elite that Cloud Hidden Village had painstakingly trained.

How could the whole army be wiped out?

For a moment, all the Jonin fell silent.

A more brutal war than ever had severely shaken their confidence.

You know, they dared to assassinate Tsunade and start a war because they thought Cloud Hidden Village was stronger than the other four ninja villages.

"The Anbu went to investigate."

Toroi gulped nervously and went on, "There were traces of fire at the scene. Initially, we guessed it was the Uchiha Clan."

"No bodies left either?"

A looked up, his words filled with suppressed anger.

"No, nothing at all."

"Damn it!"

A couldn't help but roar.

He really couldn't understand why Konoha would go to such extremes, just like he couldn't understand why they would enter the Land of Lightning.

Couldn't they just have a match in two small countries as agreed?

What the hell? Raiding our base?

But how can your ten thousand ninjas just raid our base?

"Where are they now?"

A clenched his fists and asked another question.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Toroi shook his head. "I don't know."

With a bang, the desk in front of A split in the middle.

"You don't know? How could ten thousand ninjas just disappear into thin air? Can they fly?"

"The Anbu have all been dispatched. We've also contacted the Lightning Daimyo and asked him to send the army to search, but there's still no sign of them."

Toroi took a deep breath. He also thought it was absurd.

A tightened and then relaxed his fists. Frustration filled his heart.

"Maybe they're on the sea."

Toroi suddenly thought of something and said, "We've asked several neighboring countries, and no one has seen Konoha's Ninja Army. It seems they landed at Chiba Ferry by sea and then ambushed Tsuchiyo by the river."

A immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

This was a possibility he hadn't considered.

Oh!

After all, it's Konoha Village, not Kiri.

"If they came by sea..."

A slowly exhaled. "This means Konoha planned for war before us. Our alliance with Sunagakure for the Chunin Exams has fallen into their trap."

He finally understood why they'd been struggling everywhere.

It was because Konoha had anticipated and prepared in advance.

He hadn't thought about the Land of Iron.

Toroi and the others instinctively nodded.

A's analysis made a lot of sense.

Just then, Anbu Ninjas appeared.

"Lord Raikage, the Daimyo sent word that five armies from the Land of Fire have entered the Land of Lightning."

"Humph, do these guys really want revenge?"

A's face darkened. The feeling of being wrongly blamed was really unpleasant, especially for a huge crime like killing the Daimyo.

If it were a smaller ninja village, they might not be able to defeat a regular army.

But they were Kumogakure.

"Don't worry about it."

After thinking for a while, A shook his head and said, "The Daimyo will handle them. Our top priority is to find Konoha's ninjas."

"Wait, Lord Raikage."

Toroi looked up and said, "If the nobles of the Land of Fire are in danger, Konoha's ninjas will surely come to their rescue."

A's face tightened slightly.

This was actually a good idea.

But the thought of massacring the nobles made him hesitate a bit.

Most importantly, it would arouse the apprehension of the Lightning Daimyo and the nobles.

If you can carry out killings in the Land of Fire, you can do the same in the Land of Lightning.

If such an impression is formed, they will be caught in endless trouble.

"B, lead a team of ninjas who can use Water Release to the beach. Toroi, search around the Chiba River as the center."

A held up three fingers and said in a deep voice, "If there's no news within three days, we'll take action against the army of the Land of Fire. No, we should help the Land of Lightning defeat the invaders."

He corrected himself in time.

This matter shouldn't be directly dealt with by the Cloud Hidden Village.

...

In the Land of Rain.

Under the continuous rain curtain, a group of people were trapped on a hillside.

Konan, wearing a black windbreaker with white edges and red cloud patterns, silently watched the ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village who were constantly encircling them.

Who on earth betrayed them?

The originally deadlocked battle with Amegakure Village took a sudden turn for the worse a few days ago. No matter how they hid, their whereabouts were soon discovered.

It was simply an incredible thing.

The Akatsuki Organization originally planned to gradually build up its strength as suggested by Haruki.

After all, achieving peace required the support of a powerful force.

But such an organization was naturally not allowed by Hanzo.

After several confrontations, Hanzo realized the threat of the Akatsuki Organization and began to hunt them down with all his might.

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan immediately went into hiding, intending to wear down Kumogakure.

But it didn't last long.

"How many of us can still fight now?"

Konan turned to look at the members of the organization taking shelter from the rain in the cave.

Attracted by the idea of peace, the Akatsuki Organization had found many like - minded ninjas.

They were not the pairs of S - class Rogue Ninja mercenaries as in the original story.

"Twenty - four people."

A young man in his thirties replied, "In addition, there are nine people from the Oshima Chamber of Commerce."

They had originally come to rescue the Oshima Chamber of Commerce's caravan, but unexpectedly, they had fallen into an ambush.

Konan frowned, and a look of worry showed on her delicate face.

Now they couldn't send out any messages.

Yahiko and Nagato didn't know if they could detect something abnormal and come to the rescue in time.

If not, maybe only she can get away.
