Danzo is right, monkey, what are your thoughts?
Time is of the essence, and we can only spare some of our forces to prevent a sneak attack from the two great ninja villages. We hope that the main battle can end quickly. Sarutobi is helpless at this moment. The battlefield is ever-changing, and who can control it forever?
After another half-day of intense discussion, everyone was assigned a task. Tianqi and Sarutobi led the Konoha Vanguard Team to intercept the Cloud Ninja who came to attack.
I'm giving you all one day to prepare. We'll depart on time the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow morning, Tianqi carried his Tang Hengdao to the gate of Konoha. He had obtained the Tang Hengdao by exchanging it with the system when he was promoted to Jonin, and it cost him a full 5,000 points.
Looking at Sarutobi, who was leading the group, he no longer had his usual sleazy demeanor, but instead had a serious expression, giving people a very earnest feeling.
All troops, set off!
Amidst the cheers of the villagers, Sarutobi's vanguard and Danzo's raiding party left Konoha, while the main force departed half a day later.
In a single day, the troops reached the border of the Land of Fire. Within the Land of Fire, the troops moved at a rapid pace. After a short rest, they entered the Land of Iron.
The Land of Iron is a long and narrow country where it snows all year round. They have no ninjas, only samurai. They are a neutral country, located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. Who cares if you are neutral or not?
The Land of Iron became the link between the two great powers, and naturally became a battleground. Whoever could take control of the Land of Iron first would gain the initiative, and this became the main battlefield.
Upon entering the Land of Iron, their pace slowed down, and Sarutobi dispatched members of the Hyuga clan to scout ahead.
At night, the troops stopped setting up camp, and Sarutobi summoned the captains of each unit to discuss the upcoming combat mission.
"Lord Sarutobi, I think we should send out a small team to eliminate the Cloud Ninja hiding in the Land of Iron. Once we eliminate the hidden Cloud Ninja, the main force can concentrate on dealing with the main Cloud Ninja force," a captain said.
“That’s right, that’s what I’m thinking too. I’m planning to select some strong teams to carry out this task. Do you have any recommendations?”
"Lord Sarutobi, our team is ready."
"We can too."
Many teams are vying to go.
"Alright, alright, I didn't expect so many people to go. In that case, send out ten squads. Set off early tomorrow morning. I hope you can all complete the mission within five days. On the sixth day, we will coordinate with the main force in the central region of the Land of Iron for the general offensive." Regardless of whether you complete the mission or not, you must gather in the central region on the sixth day. Sarutobi pointed out the ten squads and said.
Just as Tianqi was watching from the sidelines, the system came out to join in the fun.
Ding! You have completed the mission given by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Points are awarded based on the number of kills: 1,000 points for Genin, 3,000 points for Chunin, and 10,000 points for Jonin. You will receive one chance to upgrade your Sharingan after killing 30 or more people.
The system won't kill you if the mission fails, since you wouldn't survive anyway.
"Damn system, you can't stand to see me alive, can you?" Tian Qi was initially quite happy to hear that he could get points and improve his Sharingan, but by the end, he cursed the system in his mind.
"Lord Sarutobi, I hope I can go on this mission too," Tianqi said as the meeting was about to end, having not spoken before.
Sarutobi stared at him with a strange look. "Sarutobi-sama? This brat is acting all formal."
"Okay, since you've brought it up, I'll agree to let you go. But you can only go alone, I don't have any extra people to share with you."
Tianqi (I don't want to mention it, but the system rewards are too tempting).
Tianqi knew that this war would last a long time. Of the squads that went out, probably less than half would come back alive. The more people he could kill for them, the less danger they would be in, and he could also gain points. Why not?
Early the next morning, Tianqi chose a direction and was the first to rush out. He had no choice but to charge out; he was the strongest among the teams, and if he didn't, the others might be dead.
"You brat, you've finally grown up!" Sarutobi laughed and scolded as he watched Tianqi rush out first. He understood Tianqi's purpose in doing so.
He couldn't help but sigh, "It's amazing how quickly the younger generation has become so capable."
Tian Qi walked along the snow-covered ground, complaining as he went. "This damned Iron Country is covered in snow everywhere. It's making me so irritable. I wouldn't have come out if it weren't for the Kaleidoscope. Even wearing such thick clothes, I'm still cold. No wonder there are no ninjas in this country. Who would be in this godforsaken place?"
After advancing for another ten minutes or so, Tianqi stopped. He sensed four ninjas rapidly approaching from in front of him. (Having learned some sensory ninjutsu over the past five years, this wasn't surprising.)
"Hehe, there are no ninjas in the Land of Iron. These four must be Cloud Ninjas. Perfect for warming me up." Tianqi buried himself in snow to reduce his chakra flow and waited quietly for the enemy to arrive.
A few minutes later, several footsteps approached; they were walking very carefully.
One ordinary Jonin, one Chunin, and two Genin—it's still a standard four-person team.
It seems that the Jonin teacher has brought his weak students to experience life. This time, I'll teach you a lesson: war is not so simple.
As they walked past him, Tianqi immediately made his move.
Tianqi jumped out with a kunai in hand, slashing it across the neck of the unresponsive genin. After finishing off the genin, he threw the kunai away, and the other genin was also eliminated.
Seeing the two genin defeated, the chunin and jonin drew their kunai and prepared for battle.
"Who are you? How dare you ambush us?"
Hearing the Jonin's words, Tian Qi smiled slightly, "I really don't know if you Cloud Ninja are pretending to be stupid or you are really stupid. The only people who would appear here besides the Cloud Ninja are the people of Konoha. So what do you think I am?"
"Konoha! This is bad, he might have accomplices." The two moved closer to each other, their eyes scanning their surroundings.
Tianqi didn't waste words with the enemy. Let them think they have teammates, and charged straight at the two.
The Jonin formed hand seals and unleashed "Lightning Release: Black Panther," a black panther made of lightning that charged towards Tianqi.
"That's it!" Tian Qi quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, "Wind Release - Wind Cutting Technique".
The swift, hurricane-like blade sliced the Jonin's black panther in two and charged towards the two men. Both jumped aside to avoid the wind-cutting technique.
Tianqi pressed his advantage, using a Body Flicker Technique to get close to the Chunin, and slashed his neck with a kunai, killing the Chunin.
With only one Jonin left, Tianqi activated his Sharingan and planned to use genjutsu, "Genjutsu - Tree Binding Killing Technique".
"Sharingan, oh no, it's the Uchiha!" Just as the Jonin was about to close his eyes, his body was bound by trees that appeared behind him, and he couldn't move at all.
Outside the illusion, seeing the Jonin with a dazed expression who couldn't move, Tianqi directly pierced his heart with a kunai.
"How...how is this possible?" The Jonin coughed up blood, staring at Tian Qi in disbelief.
"Say goodbye to this beautiful world." Tianqi pulled out the kunai from his heart, and the Jonin collapsed, successfully meeting his end.
Tianqi cleaned up the battlefield and continued on his way.
Three days have passed, and Tianqi has advanced a great distance. Along the way, he has eliminated thirty Cloud Ninja, ten Jonin, and the rest Genin. He has eliminated about thirty people by himself, which is quite an achievement.
His mission can be described as a perfect success.
