Naruto: Starting by Teaching Tsunade Modernization

Above the clouds, nine colossal objects hovered silently, resembling islands in the sky.

A faint shield enveloped them, making them look like giant balloons from the outside. As a result, they were invisible to most people.

"Haruki."

Sakumo Hatake walked up to Haruki and handed him a scroll.

After the battle with the Vanguard Army of the Cloud Hidden Village, the ten thousand ninjas under Haruki's command didn't take the water or land routes. Instead, they floated in the sky on air fortresses.

The Cloud Hidden Village would never have imagined that they could fly.

The air fortresses built by Haruki had only been shown once in the Metropolis of the Land of Fire and hadn't been used since.

As a top - secret, the Cloud Hidden Village naturally had no idea.

Even during that time in the Metropolis of the Land of Fire, those who had seen the real thing had either died or had their memories modified after a Sharingan check.

Haruki opened the scroll.

The content on it came into view.

The information was from Kakashi and others.

He quickly scanned it and stopped at the part about a white clone's sneak attack on Rin Nohara.

In the ninja world, white clones were unique.

As expected, it was the disguise technique of the White Zetsu.

By absorbing someone else's Chakra, they could transform into an exact copy of the original.

Even the closest people couldn't detect it.

At the same time, the scroll also mentioned the current situation of The Akatsuki Organization.

Haruki had suspected it before, and now seeing it, he was almost certain that it was the White Zetsu who had leaked the whereabouts.

Apart from Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, only the White Zetsu could fully grasp the movement tracks of the members of The Akatsuki Organization.

With its numerous clones and excellent transformation and stealth techniques, it was the perfect candidate for gathering intelligence and assassination.

He didn't expect them to act so early and with such big ambitions, trying to guide both Nagato and Obito at once.

Haruki pondered briefly.

Hanzo of the Amegakure Village either cooperated with the White Zetsu or was being used as a tool by it.

The scroll mentioned that the White Zetsu targeted Rin Nohara and Hanzo targeted Konan. In essence, though, it was all the doing of Madara Uchiha.

Rin Nohara was the girl Obito Uchiha was fond of, and Konan was Nagato's most important friend.

If they died, it would have a huge impact on Obito and Nagato.

And Madara Uchiha could act as a life coach, leading them down another path.

However, in reality, whether it was Nagato or Obito, they were just tools for his resurrection.

Of course, he was also being used as a tool by the more cunning Black Zetsu.

You know what they say: If you play with fire, you'll get burned. If you try to use others, you might end up being the one used.

In the original story, Nagato believed the lies of Madara Uchiha and Obito and initiated the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan after Konan was captured by Hanzo and Yahiko died.

Haruki had made preparations on Rin Nohara in advance.

It should be impossible for her to die.

Only Konan and Yahiko might be in danger.

The combined strength of the White Zetsu and Hanzo on the surface was greater than the three of them.

After all, Nagato hadn't fully developed his Rinnegan yet.

If Madara Uchiha used the Katsugen no Jutsu and joined the fight, they would be even more outmatched.

Should he go there himself?

Haruki raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of Tsunade.

She was staying in Konoha and didn't have much to do.

Uchiha Madara with three - tenths of his power couldn't match her.

In recent years, besides Wood Release, Tsunade's strength has also improved notably.

In particular, several special ninja tools were custom - made for her.

Haruki couldn't help smiling.

Tsunade had followed Hashirama Senju since childhood and must have seen Madara Uchiha.

This was a good opportunity to let her get mentally prepared and kill some time.

Otherwise, it would really be a shock for an ordinary person to suddenly see an ancestor crawl out.

Haruki found pen and paper and wrote a reply letter to Tsunade, asking her to go to the Cloud Hidden Village.

"The Forth Raikage has sent two groups of people to look for our whereabouts," Sakumo Hatake continued to report the news. "B led a group to the beach, and Toroi is around Chiba City."

"It seems they didn't think about the Land of Iron," Haruki smiled. In a sense, neutral countries were quite intimidating.

"Can we find out the specific locations of these two groups?"

"Toroi can be located. He brought over a hundred people and can't really go into hiding, but B has lost his trail."

"What a pity."

Haruki had planned to capture the Eight - Tails during this opportunity, but he didn't expect B to be so cautious.

"How about the situation in the Land of Fire?"

"Minato informed several generals of the Land of Fire of the news as you ordered. Without much hesitation, they sent a total of 150,000 troops, including the five regular armies and various private armies, into the Land of Lightning and quickly occupied several important border cities in the southwest."

"The number is beyond my expectation," Haruki couldn't help shaking his head. All the well - known families in the Land of Fire sent their private armies.

The temptation of the Daimyo was so strong that they wanted to fish in troubled waters. In case they entered the Metropolis of the Land of Fire ahead of time, even if they couldn't become the Daimyo themselves, they could hold themselves for a high price and directly join the five major families, becoming their armies in a disguised form.

"It seems the death of Daimyo Oda made them extremely angry," Sakumo Hatake didn't know the inside story and thought they wanted to avenge the Daimyo.

"What's the reaction of the Land of Lightning?"

"They're heading towards the southwest. Based on their speed, it will take a week to get there."

This chapter is not over!

"A week's time is enough for the nobles of the Land of Fire to go deeper into the Land of Lightning," Haruki pondered and said.

A week was enough time for many things to happen.

"Minato thought so too, but the remaining nobles united and demanded that Minato and his Black Armor Army take the lead," Sakumo Hatake frowned. He was a bit disappointed with the nobles' reaction.

But he didn't really have high hopes for them in the first place. He knew the nature of the nobles.

His samurai's spirit was only limited to Konoha and performing duties.

Haruki was slightly stunned and then couldn't help laughing.

Well, well!

The shamelessness of the nobles was evident.

They all wanted to preserve their own forces.

Before reaching the metropolis of the Land of Lightning, there may be an internal conflict among them.

Haruki naturally wouldn't do that.

The Black Armor Army was powerful, but not invincible.

Facing more than ten times their number, they would surely suffer losses.

Moreover, they wouldn't gain any benefits.

"Just ignore them," Haruki said.

"Alright."

Sakumo Hatake nodded and then said, "There's another piece of news. The Fourth Raikage A has joined the army of the Land of Lightning."

"Huh? Why didn't he lead the Cloud Ninja Army and instead went to an ordinary army?"

Hearing this, Haruki looked up in surprise. "Is your information accurate?"

"It's true. The Aburame clan sent it back. The Anbu sent two squads to monitor them, and there are photos too."

Sakumo Hatake asked someone to bring out the photos.

The person in the photo was indeed the Fourth Raikage A.

Haruki squinted his eyes slightly.

He didn't expect such a discovery.

This didn't quite make sense.

"He's trying to force us out," Haruki rubbed his temples and smiled. "This idea is actually quite good. If they can't find us all the time, they'll help the Land of Lightning win the war. As a result, the nobles of the Land of Fire will ask us for help."

Hearing this, Sakumo Hatake immediately asked, "Do we need to do anything? If we don't save the nobles, it'll put Konoha in a bad light."

"I'll handle it."

Haruki looked down at the peaks beneath his feet.

After a day of flight, they had reached the Otagata Mountains.

This mountain range runs through the central area of the Land of Lightning, almost equivalent to the Qinling Mountains in the previous life of China, stretching for thousands of miles.

And the Cloud Hidden Village was located at the main peak of the mountain range.

However, it was quite far from their current location.

"Your task is to establish a defensive line in the mountains," Haruki's gaze dropped slightly. "I remember there are Seven checkpoints to enter the Otagata Mountains."

"Yes. But we've already entered the mountains using the air fortress."

Sakumo Hatake didn't quite understand what he meant.

He thought they used the air fortress. The purpose was to enter the mountains quietly and then ambush the main force of the Cloud Hidden Village.

After all, one had to pass through the Otagata Mountains when traveling from the Cloud Hidden Village to Chiba City.

"Let the army of the Land of Lightning pass," Haruki didn't explain too much and said, "Try not to expose yourselves before I come back."

Sakumo Hatake opened his mouth as if to say something but hesitated and finally nodded.

Haruki disappeared.

He couldn't help but sigh at the convenience of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

It was just a pity that it was so difficult to learn.

Otherwise, if all ten thousand ninjas learned it, they would be invincible.

Sakumo Hatake returned to the command room and asked Hiashi Hyuga to lead some people to the mountains first to find a suitable base.

Fortunately, the steep peaks and continuous mountains made the area sparsely populated.

It wasn't easy to be discovered.

...

In the multimedia classroom of the First University of Konoha.

"Shisui!"

Itachi Uchiha ran into the classroom from outside, his little face full of excitement.

"What's up?"

Shisui Uchiha looked up and asked.

After the Chunin Exams, he didn't go out to perform duties, so he came to the multimedia classroom to play a few games.

According to the original story, the Genin should have already graduated.

But now, even Chunin cannot graduate.

If you want to graduate early, you must get the consent of Haruki.

Shisui didn't apply.

Because he knew he was too young to be approved.

Moreover, he hadn't fully learned many of the school's knowledge and didn't want to leave for the time being.

"Hehe, Mother sent me a letter and agreed to let me join your team."

Itachi Uchiha pointed at League of Legends on the computer screen and said.

He had wanted to play the game for a long time.

It wasn't because he was playful.

It was because Shisui was playing.

But previously, Mikoto had always disagreed, saying that he was too young and couldn't take the excitement.

Itachi Uchiha didn't quite understand this.

Shouldn't playing games be very enjoyable?

Why was there excitement?

Every time he saw Shisui win, he seemed quite happy.

That kind of expression was just like when he learned Fire Release after hard work.

Shisui gave a little tug at the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, he had developed a psychological shadow about his teammates.

However, with Itachi Uchiha's talent, he shouldn't be too much of a liability.

In fact, most of the game experts he knew were from the Hyuga and Uchiha clans.

The reason was very simple.

Their eyes were too convenient for playing games.

Whether you could become a game expert depended on your operation and reaction.

The Sharingan and Byakugan were naturally good at these two points.

But unfortunately, none of the teammates assigned to him by Haruki were from the Hyuga or Uchiha clans.

"I'll tell you something in advance."

Shisui said seriously, "According to Teacher Haruki's rule, once you join, you can't give up halfway. We are Ninjas and can't let our emotions control us."

"Oh!"

"I understand!"

Itachi Uchiha obviously ignored the implication in Shisui's words.

"Okay, I'll introduce you to the game today."

Shisui opened the game and asked Itachi Uchiha to register an account.

After adding each other as friends, he initiated a team and selected the bot mode.

"This is an account with all heroes. Choose whichever you like. It's up to you."

Since Itachi Uchiha was a newbie, Shisui explained to him the differences between the top, middle, and bottom lane heroes.

"Which lane do you play?"

"I play mid lane."

During his short gaming career, Shisui learned that teammates couldn't be relied on.

Only he could save himself.

And the mid lane was the one that could most influence the game.

"Then I'll try the mid lane too."

Itachi Uchiha nodded.

Just starting out with the game, he wanted to try every position.

Let's start with the mid lane.

"Okay, choose a mid - lane hero."

Shisui said casually.

He looked at the screen and selected a top - lane warrior, Fiora.

"Okay, I'll choose this one."

Itachi Uchiha locked in a very handsome samurai.

"..."

Shisui silently watched Itachi Uchiha's Yasuo on the screen.

He had a bad feeling.

As time passed.

"So cool!"

Itachi Uchiha shouted loudly.

Because of his excessive excitement, his little face was flushed and full of smiles.

However, Shisui couldn't smile.

Looking at the Yasuo with a score of 0 - 21 - 0, he felt a bit hopeless.

He realized for the first time that playing a bot mode game could be this difficult.

"Again! Again!"

Itachi Uchiha invited Shisui to play together.

"You've grasped the basic operations of the game. There's not much else I can teach you," Shisui said slowly with a slightly solemn expression. "You can try single matchmaking on your own."

"Eh?"

Itachi Uchiha scratched his head. He actually wanted to play with Shisui.

How did it suddenly become a solo game?

"What are you two doing here?"

A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hokage - sama!"

Shisui and Itachi Uchiha quickly stood up and bowed as they spoke.

"Don't be so nervous."

Tsunade walked in and saw the computer. "So you're playing games. Let me join."

"Ah?"

Shisui instinctively looked up and asked in surprise.

He didn't expect Hokage - sama played games.

"Come on, come on."

Tsunade turned on the computer beside her. "I used to play with Teacher Haruki all the time. I'm really good at jungling!"

"Okay."

Shisui nodded.

He had seen Teacher Haruki's gameplay. It was quite good, and Haruki knew a lot of tactics.

Then Tsunade - sama should be quite good too, right?

"I'll play Yasuo!"

Itachi Uchiha instantly locked in Yasuo.

"..."

Shisui fell into deep thought.

It should be a piece of cake for him and Tsunade - sama to carry a newbie.

They'd coordinate the top and jungle lanes and crush the enemy.

He switched to Riven.

And Tsunade chose Gragas as the jungler.

Half an hour later, Shisui held back the urge to curse.

She's the Hokage! She's the Hokage! She's the Hokage!

He repeated it several times in a row.

Shisui's Sharingan slowly stopped spinning.

"It's been a long time since I last played. My skills are a bit rusty," Tsunade glanced at her dismal score and then at Itachi Uchiha's Yasuo, and let out a sigh of relief. At least she wasn't the worst.

"..."

Shisui was speechless.

He suddenly understood how Teacher Haruki came up with those tactics.

To win with Tsunade, one really had to think from a tactical perspective.

"One more game!"

Tsunade clapped her hands and said confidently, "I guarantee I won't mess things up this time."

However, her wish wasn't fulfilled.

Anbu Ninjas showed up and brought her a message.

After reading it, Tsunade had no choice but to give up and head to the Land of Rain.

Shisui heaved a sigh of relief.
