"Anyway, the Hyuga clan's affairs will be handed over to you for the time being... You must also pay attention to the border security work at all times. At present, it seems that war may break out at any time." Guan Liyuan said to Tsunade.
Because they had to fulfill Hanabi's promise, the destination of the evacuation teleportation was the border between the Land of Earth and the Renewal Federation, not far from the "Castle in the Sky".
After the Hyuga clan ninjas who were unwilling to join the Renewal Federation left, Guan Liyuan brought the rest to Tsunade...
As for the small group of people who left, Guan Liyuan estimated that they were more likely to "retreat", and a small number of them might become so-called wandering ninjas. After all, they neither stayed in Konoha nor chose the Federation. Guan Liyuan couldn't think of any reason for them to go to other major countries.
"Mr. Grand Speaker, you are too good at causing trouble for others, aren't you?" Tsunade rolled her eyes at Guan Liyuan in dissatisfaction.
As the commander-in-chief of the air combat force, Tsunade was not only responsible for border patrols in the western and northern parts of the border, but also had to distract herself from her own training - her physical strengthening had also reached a critical moment.
"The more capable, the more work! You can't let me leave this matter to Orochimaru or Hiruzen, right?" Guan Liyuan said helplessly.
Those two may be good at catching "traitors", but they are not suitable for the theme of maintaining unity...
Under Guan Liyuan's flattery, the broad-minded Tsunade still agreed.
Although Hanabi has her own precocious side, and eleven years old is not considered a "child" in the ninja world, Guan Liyuan will still feel more at ease with Tsunade's assistance.
Tsunade herself is from the Senju family. Even though the family was disbanded later, she can understand the family's way of thinking. Influenced by her grandfather, the first Hokage, Tsunade's thinking will not be limited by the "family".
However, in name, Tsunade will not have any jurisdiction over the "Hyuga clan". She just helps to pay attention to the dynamics of the "Hyuga clan" and select suitable candidates from them when the opportunity arises, and incorporate them into the patrol unit of the air combat unit.
The ninjas of the Hyuga clan really hope that Guan Liyuan can be listed in the clan, even if his last name is not Hyuga... After all, there is no doubt that Guan Liyuan has the Byakugan, and he is also the Grand Speaker of the Federation.
But Guan Liyuan refused, just like he refused the Taketori clan.
The Federation does not "discriminate" against clans, but since it wants to implement the "National Chakra Plan", it is inevitable to weaken the power within the clan. As the Grand Speaker, Guan Liyuan will not find a clan for himself in order to set an example.
Moreover, in the air combat force, the combination of patrol aircraft and "Baiyan" is also suitable for patrolling, and... it does not involve the internal secrets of the Federation, and as long as a patrol network is formed, there is no need to worry about one or two "traitors" confusing the public.
Of course, before that, what needs to be done is to first summarize all the information about Konoha that the Hyuga clan ninjas have!
"What about you? You won't be lazy yourself, right?" Tsunade looked at Guan Liyuan vigilantly.
"I want to be lazy...Ye Cang just sent a message that the royal family of Wind Country has become more suspicious of Sand Village and may take action in the near future. I have to go to Wind Country again." Guan Liyuan said.
The royal family of Wind Country not only protects powerful ninjas, but also has a great influence on Sand Village. On the contrary, the Wind Shadow of Sand Village has no influence on Wind Country after leaving the Hidden Village.
On the one hand, it is a "historical legacy" problem. During Luo Sha's reign, this was already the case. To a certain extent, Konoha supported the royal family of Wind Country to suppress Sand Village and make it more dependent on itself.
If Luo Sha had not been forced too hard by the royal family, Luo Sha would not have cooperated with Orochimaru...
And after the Luo Sha incident, the power of Sand Village was further reduced, and the royal family of Wind Country's influence on the Hidden Village was further expanded. It was
slightly different from the situation in Mist Village at the beginning. When Zabuza turned against the conservatives, the main enemy was the hostile forces in the Hidden Village, and the royal family of Water Country was just a bonus.
However, in the Sand Village, there is a part of the power that can almost be said to be directly under the King of Wind. In addition, the strongest guardian ninjas among the five major countries are colluding with each other. If a conflict really breaks out, Ye Cang's situation is not good!
Now because the three countries of Fire, Earth, and Lightning are all negotiating an alliance with the royal family of the Kingdom of Wind, and the Wind Shadow has been pretending to be friendly with the royal family, the royal family has increasingly seen that Ye Cang "has problems"...
Knowing that Guan Liyuan is likely to "fight a tough battle" this time, Tsunade hesitated for a moment and said, "Sakura's "Hundred Healings Technique" is at the most critical stage. She wants to complete the first stage of training before the real war. Let Karin go with you this time."
Compared with Sakura, Karin herself has a certain self-protection ability, and this time it is a quasi-war action led by Guan Liyuan himself. According to the Federation's own regulations, a medical ninja is also required to accompany the team.
Apart from personality reasons, Karin's medical level is still quite reliable!
It's just... Guan Liyuan had promised her that he would transfer her to the Ice Palace Snow Battle Force after he came back. Although Karin did not refuse as a medical ninja because of the heavy responsibility of this mission, she looked at Guan Liyuan with a very resentful look.
The Wind Country is in the southwest of the continent and does not directly border the Federation. It needs to pass through the area between the Fire Country and the Earth Country, that is, through the Grass Country and the Rain Country. Therefore, it is not suitable for large-scale support, and only a small group of elite troops can be used.
In addition to Karin, Guan Liyuan only brought Kakuzu, Sasuke, Hiruko, and Taketori Sora. If reinforcements are needed, Guan Liyuan can summon the tailed beasts at any time...
Hiruko is an important member of the alliance with the Ye Cang Dark Alliance, and Kakuzu and Taketori Sora accompany him as "combat power".
Taketori Sora, who is equivalent to most of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is already close to "epic", and after Kakuzu exchanged five hearts of Guan Liyuan, he gradually has the strength to surpass "epic".
As for the stronger Jūgo, as a strategic "legendary" combat force, he must now stay at the eastern border and guard against the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire...
Sasuke is the weakest now. Although in terms of time, it is almost the same as the Shippuden period, but without opening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke's strength is still far from that of the ordinary Five Kage. After all, in the original work, Sasuke in the early days of Shippuden only killed Orochimaru, whose body was on the verge of collapse, and he had not yet solved it.
When facing Uchiha Itachi, who was also in poor health, he was not a match.
However, now because Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan was opened earlier than in the original work, considering the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, he can still reach the level of the ordinary Five Kage.
But before it forms a self-disciplined "Eternal Mangekyō", the "Mangekyō Sharingan" is just a consumable and cannot be used frequently.
In Guan Liyuan's team going to the Land of Wind this time, apart from the nurse Karin, Sasuke is considered the "small one". The reason why he was brought along is because according to Orochimaru, he has injected the power of the Sharingan into Sasuke, but he himself is unable to merge this part of the power with his own "Mangekyo Sharingan" to form a self-disciplined "Eternal Mangekyō".
After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, Danzo obtained a large number of "Sharingan". Orochimaru, as a partner, was also supplied a lot in the research. However, since they were not from Sasuke's direct relatives after all, it took some stimulation to absorb this part of the mixed eye power...
"Battle" is undoubtedly a way of stimulation!
