Duke had no doubts about this. Ninjas are soldiers. The village trained you to fight. Now the village is in danger, who else can go? As for upgrading from Genin to Chunin without taking the Chunin exam, this is not surprising. Increasing the number of Chunin during wartime can not only put pressure on the enemy, but also increase the morale of the team. Otherwise, the opponent is full of Jonin and Chunin, and you are full of Genin and two or three Jonin, what's the point of fighting? You are afraid before the battle, you should be thankful if you can avoid a blowup.
Although he was going to the frontline, Duke, like most ninjas, had basically nothing to prepare. Kunai, shuriken, detonating tags, and food pills were all supplied by Konoha Logistics, so he only needed to put a few of each in his blade bag.
Speaking of Bingliang Pills, Duke couldn't help but slander Chataro. The world of Pleasant Goat is too pitfall. The products of that world have no logic at all. Not only in the Naruto world, but also in other worlds. Hades took a powerful pill and was dehydrated, but it was still good. A dead fish eye was even more pathetic. He was in the hospital for a month and had to hang glucose...
The shadow of war loomed over Konoha, and even the Mitarai family was not spared. The 7-year-old Red Bean was in tears, looking like she was about to die. She held Natsuki's hand and silently watched Duke packing his luggage.
"Brother, are you going to the battlefield tomorrow?" Hongdou said reluctantly. Many of her classmates lost their loved ones in the war, and Hongdou didn't want to experience that feeling.
"Don't worry, brother is very powerful. I don't even take a mere Sand Ninja seriously." Duke rubbed Hongdou's head and comforted her.
"Can't I just not go?" Hongdou shook off the hands on her head and was about to burst into tears.
Zixiao saw through Duke's thoughts at a glance and told him not to worry: "My successor is an experienced ninja who has also experienced the Second Ninja World War. He is a Hyuga clan ninja who possesses the bloodline limit and the Byakugan. He is also quite famous. You should have heard of him. His name is..."

It was Hizashi's suggestion that they set up camp instead of rushing on the road at dusk. At this time, they were only 300 miles away from the Konoha frontline headquarters and the base camp. This distance was not a safe distance for the highly mobile ninjas. They also found traces of small infiltration and sabotage forces of the Sand Ninjas around them. It was reasonable to rush overnight and try to reach the base camp the next day, but Hizashi and several surviving ninjas of the Second Shinobi World War did not think so.
After a simple assembly and verification, this group of nearly a hundred troops organized their formation, divided into several echelons, left Konoha and moved towards the front line against Sand Village.
"It's all your fault for being useless, otherwise this wouldn't have happened." Looking at the scene of brotherly love and sisterly affection, Xia Shu couldn't help but complain.
In terms of the daily scale of the ninja team, a hundred people is already large enough. After all, most of the time, ninjas work in groups of four. If a hundred people move at the same time, it is easy to make mistakes without the command and dispatch of experienced jonin, which will lead to disaster.
"Asuma Sarutobi, please give me your guidance!"
After the outbreak of the war, Mitarai Shisho returned to the position of Anbu chief. Konoha has no shortage of capable and skilled jonin commanders. One more or one less of him is not enough on the front line, but the same cannot be said for the Anbu. He has been in charge of the Anbu for many years and has extremely rich experience. He is Sarutobi Hiruzen's right-hand man. The Anbu led by him and the Anbu without him are two different concepts. It doesn't matter in normal times, but he is indispensable in wartime.
He is young, but very mature and steady, just like his son Neji! This was Duke's first impression of Hizashi. Hizashi only appeared in a few scenes in the original work, and mostly in Neji's memories. Duke was not very clear about his strength, so he could only make a rough guess.
"Brat, I will stay in Konoha from now on, so someone will temporarily take over as the monitor of Zixiao class." After finally comforting his wife, Zixiao said to Duke.
Duke frowned. Changing the leader at the last minute was not a good thing for Zixiao Squad. The ninja squad was team-oriented, and the squad leader was the soul and brain of the team. Duke and the other two were used to Zixiao's leadership, and suddenly changing to a strange brain would easily lead to mistakes. Did the Third Hokage not want a son? Otherwise, why would he make such a stupid arrangement?
Hiashi is also one of the leading jonin. His Byakugan has a strong ability to detect and he is the most influential person in the team. Although he is only in his twenties, he has personally experienced the Second Ninja World War and is considered a veteran. At that time, his opponent happened to be a Sand Ninja.
As the team was busy setting up camp near the Kawanokuni front, several leading jonin gathered together to discuss the next move. Geographically, they had already entered the battle zone, and it was possible that they would encounter a small group of Sand Ninjas infiltrating behind the enemy lines in the next second. Most of the team members were medical ninjas with low combat effectiveness, and once they were discovered by the enemy, they would surely launch a suicide attack. Therefore, before reaching the base camp, they had to remain on high alert at all times.
"You can call me Captain Hiashi! We will be together for a long time, so as subordinates, you must obey my orders absolutely. Let me be frank, I am not an easy person to talk to, and I will never be soft on disobedient subordinates." Hiashi had a stern face, and he was very distressed. Looking at the three Chunins under the age of ten in front of him, he felt very stressed. The youngest son of the Hokage, the adopted son of the Anbu Minister, and the daughter of the Anbu Vice Minister, the most powerful second-generation combination in Konoha, the Hyuga family could not afford any mistakes, not to mention that he was just a member of the branch family.
"Don't worry, Captain Hiashi, we are not children anymore." Asuma nodded. The captain must have absolute authority in the team, and they did not question this. On Earth, a ten-year-old kid saying "I am not a child" would be questioned or even laughed at by adults, but in the world of Naruto, it is commonplace. Seven or eight-year-old kids can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. They are all ninjas who have seen blood on their hands and cannot be judged by common sense.
Hizashi nodded in satisfaction, the performance of the second generation in the team exceeded his expectations, none of them were as idiotic as Tian Da Da Di Lao Yi or Er Lao Yi, otherwise it would be a headache.
The elder brother, Hyuga Hiashi, is the future clan leader. As the younger brother, Hizashi was entrusted with an important task by the Hokage. In addition to trust, it must also be because of his strength. The ability of the Byakugan combined with the soft fist, the long-range insight far exceeds the Sharingan. It can attack and defend at medium and short distances, and has almost no obvious weaknesses. The super long vision can often predict the enemy's moves, which is particularly valuable on the battlefield. This is probably why Sarutobi Hiruzen chose Hizashi. With him, Asuma's survival rate can be improved by more than one level.
Seeing this, Duke hurriedly comforted Hongdou and made a lot of promises to stop the tears from falling. Xia Shu, who was standing aside, secretly wiped away her tears, stretched out his hand to pinch Yutashi Zixiao's waist, and then turned 180 degrees.
"Xi Ri Hong, please give me your guidance!"
"Nice to meet you. My name is Hinata Hizashi. Starting today, I will be temporarily replacing Senior Zixiao. Thank you for your guidance!" Hinata Hizashi, who is in his early twenties, has slightly dark skin and a serious expression. He introduced himself meticulously.
Because there were many medical ninjas with weak physical strength, the team had to stop and move, and their speed was not very fast. It took them about ten days to reach the border of the Fire Country.
The next morning, outside the main gate of Konoha, nearly a hundred ninjas were organized into teams and scattered in various directions. They were the latest batch of logistics troops supporting the front line, most of them were medical ninjas, and there were also elites dressed as Anbu. These people carried a large amount of war supplies, which of course were sealed in the scroll.
"Mitawash Duke, please teach me!" Duke wore a black robe over his green Chunin vest, not because Wang Yibalu had no authority, nor to look cool. Because on the battlefield, hiding your hands in seals is crucial to gaining the upper hand, so that it is difficult for your opponent to judge your ninjutsu through gestures, and to a certain extent, you can conceal your movements. Moreover, black can also be used as a protective color at night.
"Hiss————" Zixiao took a breath of cold air and almost shouted out.
First, after a whole day of traveling, everyone's physical strength and energy were not enough to continue; second, most of the team members were medical ninjas who were not suitable for frontal combat. If they were ambushed in the dark, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if Hizashi had the Byakugan as a forward reconnaissance, the Sand Ninjas were not given away for nothing. What if the infiltrating troops had sensory ninjas?
There is no room for luck on the battlefield, so instead of running into an encirclement, it is better to repair on the spot. Even if you are discovered by the Sand Ninja, at least you can organize defensive fortifications.
The jonin were discussing the route for the next day. Most of the chunins and genins in the team were getting nervous. Most of them were rookies and it was their first time on the battlefield. Of course, this did not include Duke, who was lying in the tent yawning. With memories from many worlds, war was not unfamiliar to him. Even if Asuma and Hong were excited or worried, he had an indifferent expression on his face.
