Konoha: Naruto From a Wolf

Chapter 76 Sunagakure’s Puppet Master

After understanding that Naruto's departure was inevitable, the few of them didn't waste too much time on it.

As Naruto himself said, before leaving, squeezing his remaining labor force is the best way to go.

"So? What are you doing?"

Naruto looked at the table full of food in front of him and asked.

"Extracting your surplus labor? What else can you do?" Yahiko sneered.

"I'll put it into practice what Konan said." Nagato hung up his apron and placed a plate of dishes on the table.

It is worth mentioning that Nagato, who has the assistance of the Samsara Eye, has the best cooking skills among them.

"Hey, let me ask, who of you is over twenty?" Naruto's eyelids jumped wildly as he looked at the sake placed neatly on the table by Yahiko.

"Still not a man anymore?" Yahiko grabbed his neck, and at this moment he became a giant in soul.

Naruto:"……"

Perhaps because of their experience as street children, even though they are now in high positions, Yahiko and the others are not in the habit of sharing one dish for many people like most ninja families.

Rather than having one person per meal, they prefer the atmosphere of eating from the same pot.

The dishes on the table are not dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, which are extremely delicious. They are mostly folk home-cooked dishes and special foods that the three of them studied during their wanderings: salted cuttlefish, fried tempura, miso soup, pickles... and

The most important thing is rice.

At the dinner table, no one mentioned the upcoming separation, and there was more chatting and joking.

The separation has long been destined. Instead of worrying about yourself and yourself, it is better to cherish the time in front of you.

…

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

The sudden war shocked even the 'Ninja Hero' Sarutobi Hiruzen who had experienced the Second Ninja War.

Although the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure is not good, it is definitely not the worst among the five great ninja villages.

Especially a few days ago, Konoha was still preparing to welcome the Third Kazekage and sign an alliance treaty.

All Konoha ninjas, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, believe that in the upcoming Third Ninja War, they will finally no longer have to fight one against four.

Suddenly, a big black pot was grabbed by Sha Yin.

Assassination of the Third Kazekage?

They are so full that they think they don’t have enough enemies, right?

Konoha was determined to prove their innocence, but Sunagakure did not give them a chance to prove their innocence. They started a war when they were told to start a war, and attacked the border of the Land of Fire when they were told to attack.

Children fight and verbally threaten...

Konoha became the biggest victim of the Third Kazekage incident.

Although he wanted to complain, the most important thing right now was to arrange manpower to resist the invasion.

"Danzo, you are in charge of Sunagakure." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said while looking at his left and right hands.

"In the early stage, we will focus on defense. Let's take a look at the situation of other ninja villages first."

Defense requires less troops, and Konoha may fight on multiple fronts with other ninja villages at any time. If it is too aggressive in the direction of Sunagakure, resulting in insufficient troops in other directions, it will be great fun.

The situation on the Western Front is complicated. In addition to strength and qualifications, the commander's overall view cannot be ignored. As one of the few people in the village who has the mind of a shadow, Danzo is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Time is running out, let's assemble the team and set off now."

"I understand." Danzo Shimura nodded slightly, stood up and left.

"Sunagakure has taken action, and Kumogakure probably won't be able to sit still." Koharu said when he went to bed, "Who do you want to go to the north?"

"Orochimaru and Jiraiya."

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Monohan looked at each other and nodded slightly, having no doubts about his arrangement.

Two Kage-level combat capabilities are enough to deal with Kumogakure's group of war madmen, both defensively and offensively.

"The remaining Kirigakure..." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe, "Mito, I want you to go."

"No problem." Mito Menyan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Since the Second Ninja War, Konoha has lost a lot of high-end combat power due to internal friction.

Fortunately, my family's financial resources are quite strong and I have plenty of cards to play.

"Minato, what are you planning to do?" Koharu asked when he went to bed.

Minato, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, was considered the king of bombs in their hands.

But the question is, where to explode?

"Let's go to the Western Front." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook out the ashes from his pipe, "That guy Onoki might make some noise."

"With Tsunade and Danzo here, it should be almost done, right?" Koharu asked when he went to bed.

Sunagakure's Chiyo and a group of puppet masters are good at using poison, and Tsunade, who has full medical ninjutsu, binds Sunagakure's front by default.

"Danzo's strength is still a bit lacking. He can't handle Onoki's Dust Style." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

After working together for so many years, he knew exactly what Danzo was capable of.

At the Jonin level, Danzo may be among the best, but if he is at the Kage level, he is not good enough.

"That's right." After thinking for a while, Koharu and Mito Menyan went to bed and said nothing more.

The Dust Release eliminated by the Blood Successor is indeed not something Danzo and Tsunade can handle.

"What about Kushina Uzumaki?"

"Let her stay in the village first." Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache and said helplessly.

After Xiaochun went to bed, the two looked at each other and agreed to his suggestion.

They couldn't find a better way to deal with this girl.

"One more thing, do you remember Loulan?" Mito Menyan asked.

"That small country in the Kingdom of Wind?" Xiaochun glanced at him doubtfully as he turned to bed. Is there anything worth paying attention to in such a small country?

"Not long ago, my informant sent back information that Loulan was suspected to have been captured by Sunagakure and became their puppet manufacturing site." Mito Kadoyan said, "And a considerable scale of puppets has been produced."

"Really..." Xiaochun nodded slightly as he went to bed, without questioning the authenticity of the information.

We have been working together for many years, and we still have this basic level of trust.

"Who do you think should handle it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and asked.

Sunagakure's puppet master has always been a headache for the major ninja villages. Unlike the Blood Succession Limit, the puppet technique can be promoted on a large scale. The puppet master's strength may have great fluctuations due to the operating techniques and puppet manufacturing process.

But poison-quenched hidden weapons are equally deadly to lower-level ninjas.

Especially on the battlefield, there is no guarantee that a corpse lying on the ground is a puppet in disguise. When the vigilance is greatly reduced, most ninjas will not be able to bear a poison-quenching Senbon hit from behind.

Such a powerful profession, not to mention other ninja villages, even Konoha has had the idea of ​​plagiarism.

But unfortunately, some things may seem very simple, but if you are asked to do them, you may not be able to do them well.

Puppet manipulation skills aside, there are so many weird and wonderful people in Konoha that there won't be much problem catching up with Sunagakure.

But the puppet making process is different. It's really not something you can catch up with just by chasing it.

Sunagakure has been making puppets since the Second Kazekage. After playing for many years, he was able to reduce the cost of making puppets and popularize them to the public.

If Konoha really wants to study puppetry, it is destined to invest a lot of money, and there will be no return on this investment in the short term.

So after trying it for a while, Konoha gave up the idea of ​​copying the puppet technique.

After all, by the time your puppet is updated to the point where it can go on the battlefield, Sunagakure will have already come up with new tricks.

When he heard that Sunagakure was manufacturing puppets in large quantities, Sarutobi Hiruzen's first thought was to demolish this 'arsenal'.

During the Second Ninja War, many Konoha ninjas died at the hands of the puppet master.

"I want Minato to handle it. After all, Loulan is located in the Kingdom of Wind." Mito Kadenyan said.

There are also many highly mobile ninjas in Konoha, but after all, it is the enemy's weapons manufacturing base, so if their strength is low, it will not work.

"Minato is indeed the most suitable." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with his suggestion.

It just so happened that Minato was assigned to the Western Front.

This chapter was overhauled, so I’m posting it now, sorry!
