Naruto: Starting by Teaching Tsunade Modernization

"Ichiro."

Konan was silent for a few breaths. Without looking at the young man behind her, she said flatly, "Later, I'll try my best to tear open a gap. You lead the others to break through."

Ichiro was startled and couldn't help saying, "Lady Konan, we can defend ourselves based on the terrain and wait for the rescue of Lords Yahiko and Nagato."

"We can't hold out."

Konan shook her head. Her gaze passed through the bushes and she said slowly, "There're over a hundred ninjas from Amegakure Village, and there are even a few Jonin in there."

"How could there be so many?"

Ichiro couldn't understand. "It's just an ordinary caravan transporting food. There's no need to go to such great lengths."

"They're after me." Konan's cold voice rang out.

"It's a trap!"

Ichiro understood. Anger suddenly appeared on his face. "There's a traitor among us. Otherwise, how could Amegakure Village know that you're coming to the rescue?"

"No point in talking more. Just do as I say."

Konan didn't want to argue about the traitor.

Due to the recent consecutive defeats, the members of The Akatsuki Organization were in a panic.

At this critical moment of life and death, she didn't want to shake their hearts.

"If that's really the case, we should stay even more."

Ichiro disagreed with her approach. "Even if we add up all our people, we're not as important as you. We should be the ones to cover the retreat."

"Do you want me to be a deserter?" Konan's tone softened. "I can exchange my life for the lives of your thirty-three people. It's definitely worth it."

Ichiro shook his head firmly and said, "It's not a matter of worth or not, but a matter of whether it's right or not."

"Ichiro!" Konan frowned. "What's the first rule in the organization?"

"Obey orders." Ichiro answered without hesitation. "But I'm afraid I can't obey now."

"You..." Konan was a little angry, but then she said coldly, "If you don't obey, I naturally have a way to deal with you."

Noticing the change in her aura, Ichiro fell silent.

"Gonna go for the brute - force approach if talking won't do?"

He took a step back and turned around.

Seeing this, Konan breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to do anything to a loyal subordinate.

It would be best if he could follow her order.

Since Yahiko was still alive, Konan wasn't as heartless as she was in the original story.

She was more like a girl trying hard to grow up.

But Ichiro's next move completely surprised her.

He walked in front of everyone and said loudly, "Lady Konan wants to stay alone to cover our retreat. Do you all agree?"

After a brief moment of surprise, the thirty-three people replied in unison, "Disagree!"

Ichiro looked at Konan, smiled, and said, "It's not just me who's disobeying the order."

"..."

Konan was really both angry and amused.

"So touching!"

Suddenly, a voice made Konan alert.

The person who came could get so close to her.

His strength was probably stronger than that of an ordinary Jonin.

She shouted coldly, "Who's there?"

Another voice rang out, as if scolding the person who had spoken earlier.

"Idiot!"

Is this the right time to talk about this?

Two people?

In her line of sight, the figures of Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake gradually emerged.

Oh, no. There was also Rin Nohara.

"Is it you?"

Konan recognized the three of them and couldn't help but be a little surprised and delighted. "Did Teacher Haruki send you here?"

"Yeah."

Kakashi nodded.

Due to his own personality, he began to check the surrounding environment.

Noticing the ninjas outside, he frowned slightly. There were an unusually large number of them.

This exceeded the rescue mentioned by Yahiko and Nagato.

Obito bowed slightly and greeted with a smile, "Good morning, senior sister."

Konan looked at the dim sky at noon and asked, "Are there only the three of you?"

"That's enough!"

Obito patted his chest and said confidently, "We just passed the Chunin Exams!"

"…"

This statement was full of loopholes. Konan was at a loss for words all of a sudden.

But she had great confidence in Haruki.

Obito, Kakashi, and Rin were his apprentices.

He wouldn't send them here to die for no reason.

"Senior sister, are there any injured people?"

Rin Nohara pulled Obito to stop him from talking.

"There are some minor injuries," Konan said. "It's not very serious, but it will affect the next battle. Please help, junior sister."

"It's not a problem."

Rin Nohara nodded, a little excited. It was rare for her to be of use.

Having two overly powerful teammates meant that she had nothing to do.

She had spent a long time learning Medical Ninjutsu but hadn't had many chances to use it.

"You don't have to go."

Kakashi grabbed the back of Obito's collar and said, "Get ready for battle."

"Alright."

Obito withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the Amegakure Village ninjas surrounding them.

Under the rain curtain in the gloomy sky, there was a dense mass of ninjas, and they all remained silent.

Obito frowned. He hated this kind of weather the most.

It would inevitably have an impact on his Fire Release.

Blood-red eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"It's the Sharingan!"

There was a momentary commotion among the Amegakure Village ninjas in the distance.

The Uchiha Clan was well-known in the ninja world.

But most importantly, the appearance of an Uchiha here meant that Konoha Village was intervening.

Almost instantly, the leader of the rain ninjas made a decision.

The rain in the sky suddenly stopped and, under his control, formed roaring Water Dragons.

"Oh, my goodness!"

Konan soared into the air gracefully.

A pair of wings made of paper suddenly spread out.

She raised her hand, and numerous pieces of paper spun like shurikens, piercing through the rain curtain.

Seeing this, Obito made a single-handed Hand Seal.

A scorching breath came out of his mouth.

Kakashi instantly drew his sword, and the glinting sword light formed a continuous barrier, actually completely blocking the rain above the Great Fireball Technique.

Konan's paper pieces first collided with the Water Dragons.

There was a series of dense muffled sounds.

It was deadlocked for a second.

The fire burned the paper.

Obito's fireball was actually aimed at Konan's paper pieces.

The leader of the rain ninjas looked confused. Did Konoha Village come to help them?

However, this was his last thought.

Because the papers in front of him exploded violently, just like Explosive Tag, blasting him to pieces.

Obito laughed smugly and said, "This teamwork is invincible in the world!"

Kakashi didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Holding a sword with thunder flashing, his speed was like a thunderbolt as he rushed out.

The rain automatically flew to both sides.

He raised his sword, and instantly, several criss - crossing sword lights appeared, like ocean waves, accurately engulfing the three Rain Ninjas in front of him.

Screams accompanied the blood that dyed the rain curtain red.

Seeing this, Obito couldn't help but run out in a hurry.

These are all merits.

Although Konan knew that these two junior brothers were extraordinary, seeing them advancing through the enemy as if there was no one in their way, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

At the same age, among those she knew, only Nagato could compare with them.

They were truly the apprentices of Teacher Haruki.

She collected her thoughts and said, "Ichiro, protect them."

Konan's body turned into white fragments and appeared among the Rain Ninjas like a butterfly.

Endless papers were her sharpest weapons.

Driven by her will, their lethality was no less than that of other Ninjutsu.

For a moment, a large number of Cloud Hidden Village Ninjas were at a disadvantage.

Inside the cave.

Rin Nohara withdrew her hands and removed the Mystical Palm Technique, smiling, "It's okay now."

"Thank you," the young man in front of her said gratefully.

"It's okay."

Rin Nohara got up and looked at the battle scene outside the cave.

Even though she had seen it many times, she couldn't help but sigh at the excellence of her two teammates.

As for the tragic scene before her, she was already used to it.

In the past few years, the three of them had actually taken on missions following the standards of Chunin.

"Be careful!"

Ichiro's voice suddenly rang out.

Rin Nohara's pupils shrank slightly. A figure emerged from the mountain wall on her left.

He stabbed at her heart at an extremely fast speed.

Almost instinctively, Rin Nohara punched out.

The astonishing Force caused the air to tremble.

The attacking middle - aged man showed a shocked expression on his face.

He seemed to have never expected such a scene.

He immediately lost his balance.

Rin Nohara punched him in the abdomen.

The middle - aged man let out a pained cry and flew out, hitting the mountain wall and creating a human - shaped pit.

"You're not of the Senju clan. Why do you have such powerful Chakra Enhanced Strength?!"

The middle - aged man was very puzzled.

He could understand that Rin Nohara had Chakra Enhanced Strength, after all, she was Haruki's apprentice.

But without a special constitution, how could ordinary Chakra Enhanced Strength hurt him?

Rin Nohara completely ignored him, stepped forward, and the powerful Force tore the middle - aged man's clothes.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

The middle - aged man showed his snow - white skin.

"What on earth are you?"

Rin Nohara looked at the middle - aged man warily.

"Unexpectedly, I've come to grief here."

The middle - aged man closed his eyes, and with a bang, his body disappeared.

Clone Jutsu?"

Rin Nohara showed a surprised expression. She never expected it to be Clone Jutsu.

But what kind of Clone Jutsu was this?

She thought for a moment but found no answer.

Ichiro opened his mouth, feeling his scalp tingle.

He had previously thought that Rin Nohara was a gentle and obedient girl.

But in the next moment, she transformed into a violent ninja.

This made him think of Tsunade, one of the Konoha Sannin.

Rin Nohara turned her head and saw his expression. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Actually, it's not my credit. It's these gloves made by Teacher Haruki."

Ichiro was slightly taken aback. He took a closer look for a while before noticing a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings on her hands.

"These gloves made by the teacher are engraved with many auxiliary Ninjutsu, allowing me to have powerful Force in a short time," Rin Nohara explained.

Haruki sealed the ninjutsu inside the gloves based on the Uchiha Clan's transcription seal.

He gave them to Rin Nohara precisely to defend against the White Zetsu.

The middle - aged man just now was impersonated by the White Zetsu.

His transformation jutsu was unparalleled in the ninja world.

But he would never have thought that the two punches he endured were actually equivalent to Haruki himself taking action.

"I see," Ichiro couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

The Akatsuki Organization was too poor to afford such high - end Ninja tools.

The battle between Rin Nohara and the White Zetsu clones ended too quickly.

Obito didn't even have time to come to the rescue.

He could only vent his anger on the Rain Ninja in Amegakure Village.

After several Jonin died, the remaining Rain Ninja could no longer bear the slaughter and turned around to scatter and flee.

Konan flicked her hands, and countless pieces of paper turned into sharp Shuriken, flying in all directions.

Invisible Chakra threads were wrapped around the Shuriken.

The astonishing speed and Force made the threads seem like the most terrifying weapons.

In an instant, the heads of the fleeing Rain Ninja rolled to the ground one by one.

Obito let out a soft click of his tongue. He was a bit surprised by his senior sister's ruthlessness towards the enemies.

However, he didn't say anything.

The Rain Ninja in front of them had blood on their hands.

"Rin, are you okay?" Obito quickly came to the cave. He looked at the deep pit on the wall and asked.

He knew about the gloves made by Haruki.

But he didn't expect them to have such great power.

It was a pity that Haruki only gave a pair to Rin Nohara, and he and Kakashi didn't get any.

Haruki said they didn't need them and it was unnecessary to waste Konoha's resources.

"I'm fine," Rin Nohara shook her head. She pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe we should tell the teacher about this. I always feel something strange. Why did they attack me?"

Kakashi, who came over next, and Konan glanced at each other. They both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

They also thought it was strange.

And Konan thought a little more.

The large - scale leakage of the Akatsuki Organization's whereabouts could never be the doing of undercover agents.

Unless it was Yahiko or Nagato, no one would know so clearly.

Combined with today's attack, Amegakure Village's goal was her, and this mysterious person's target was Rin Nohara.

There were too many unreasonable things.

"Yes, we should tell the teacher," Konan nodded in agreement. Then she said, "Let's leave quickly and go back to the base first."

"Yeah." 

"I'm sure Master Jiraiya has met the two senior brothers," Kakashi said.

"Teacher Jiraiya?"

Konan didn't expect Jiraiya to be leading the mission. They hadn't seen each other for several years.

The group promptly left the cave.

A few minutes later, a White Zetsu popped out its head.

"Damn it! Haruki ruined my good deed!"

Thanks to his stealth ability, even Obito's Sharingan couldn't detect him.

So he heard what Rin Nohara said.

Such a great opportunity was lost because of this.

He was really angry.

"Haruki... Haruki..."

The White Zetsu muttered the name twice.

He always felt that he and Madara Uchiha had overlooked Haruki too much.

The White Zetsu submerged into the ground.

He returned to the gloomy base again.

"Lord Madara, there's a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

The White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

"Do you think you're being funny?"

Madara Uchiha looked up, his old face full of coldness.

"Oops, you're still so cold, Lord Madara."

The White Zetsu pretended to be sad, but seeing that Madara seemed to have the intention to kill, he quickly said, "The good news is that Obito and the others have indeed come to Amegakure Village due to The Akatsuki Organization. The bad news is that I failed to attack Rin Nohara."

"Failed?"

Madara Uchiha's eyes narrowed. "Why did you fail? Have you become so useless that you can't even deal with a medical ninja?"

"It's not because she's a medical ninja. It's that..."

The White Zetsu started talking about Haruki's gloves.

"Haruki."

Hearing this name, Madara Uchiha brought up another matter.

"One of your clones sent a message from the Land of Lightning. Haruki led Konoha's Ninja Army to a great victory, defeating two thousand Cloud Ninja."

"This is entirely different from what we expected," the White Zetsu was slightly stunned and couldn't help but say.

They hoped to see Konoha and Kumogakure fight to a standstill, preferably with both sides suffering heavy losses.
