Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Peng... Peng...

Along with the sudden flash of fire, explosions covered the hill. Thousands of detonating symbols disguised as the ground exploded at the same time. The huge power directly leveled the entire hill to the ground.

The explosion set off orange flames that shone on Kakashi's shocked face. No one realized that the hill in front of them was actually transformed into a detonating talisman. When the vanguard rushed up the hill, they found that the ground under their feet was made of detonating talismans. , it's already too late. Even with the defense of chakra armor, it can't withstand an explosion of this magnitude. It will cause serious injuries even if you don't die.

In this coalition, Konoha only dispatched [-] troops, and half of them were lost in one fell swoop. Kakashi's face instantly turned gloomy. Such losses occurred at the beginning of the war, which meant that this battle seemed to be quick. The resolution of the war may not be that simple.

At this moment, a yellow flash flashed quickly in the billowing smoke caused by the explosion. The next moment, Minato appeared in front of Kakashi with more than a dozen ninjas who were involved in the explosion.

Kakashi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he admired Minato-sensei even more in his heart. Only Minato-sensei could save everyone unharmed in the explosion.

Kakashi stepped forward: "Minato-sensei, it seems that Akatsuki is much more prepared than what we reported. This war is not as simple as we deduced."

"This is the A-level forbidden art of God's Paper User. It can transform pieces of paper or detonating talismans into any object." Minato smiled bitterly and said, "Jiraiya-sensei has even taught this forbidden art. It's really troublesome."

Kakashi said in surprise: "Although the God's Paper User's Technique can transform pieces of paper or detonating talismans into any object, as long as a powerful perceptive ninja can still detect it, even Uchiha Tekka who has three magatama did not find it just now. ."

"It should be that Konan's own improvement has improved the sophistication of the God's Paper User's technique. In the next battle, Byakugan will open the way ahead."

Minato quickly re-formulated his strategy. Since ordinary sentient ninjas couldn't do it, let the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan be dispatched. This kind of trap would be restrained by the Byakugan.

Soon, with Byakugan's advance perspective, the traps ahead were avoided one by one.

Konoha has Byakugan, which can detect the detonating charm trap set by Konan in time. The other villages were unlucky. They fell into several traps and were unable to prevent them. Many ninjas were lost. Later, they could only advance step by step. Pushing forward, casualties are greatly reduced instantly, but the speed is much slower.

A stronghold close to the south of Yuyin Village.

A peripheral member of the Akatsuki organization consisting of a hundred people is stationed here. When Minato led the team to the stronghold, a war immediately broke out. Although the Akatsuki organization has attracted a large number of rebel ninjas over the years, most of the rebel ninjas are not too strong. Most of them are people, and the number of jounin is very small.

Ninjas who have reached the level of Jonin are an important fighting force in every village. Unless they can no longer live in the village, they will choose to become rebel ninjas, such as Kakuzu and Orochimaru... These people all become rebels in this way. Ninjas, after all, there are only a few ninjas like Scorpion whose purpose is to rebel against ninjas. In today's era of ninja villages, it is very difficult to rebel against ninjas. Not only do they need to be chased by the pursuit troops organized by the village, but they also need to face people like Kakuzu. Bounty Hunter.

Therefore, most rebel ninjas are chunin-level ninjas who betray the village for various reasons.

Although these members of Akatsuki's peripheral organization have an advantage in numbers, they face a thirty-strong Konoha elite combat force armed to the teeth and wearing chakra armor. They face the wolf-like and tiger-like Konoha jounin. They, these rebels were quickly compressed into the stronghold and resisted with the help of traps and mechanisms in the stronghold.

Neither Minato nor Kakashi participated in the battle. The two stood outside the stronghold, silently watching the battle inside the stronghold. Before they arrived, Iniqiao made a key point of explaining that Konoha needs to contribute to the attack on Amegakure Village this time. But it doesn’t require much effort. Compared to Konoha, the most anxious people now are Sunagakure, Kumogakure and Kirigakure. The first and second tails of Kumogakure and Sunagakure have fallen into Akatsuki’s hands, and Kirigakure’s three-tailed jinchūra Riko is the Fourth Mizukage, Akatsuki's next target.

Therefore, Minato's role in this war was more to train troops, but Minato used Flying Thunder God several times to enter the battlefield and save Konoha ninjas who were almost killed.

The large stronghold was quickly cleared. Minato walked around the stronghold and came to the lake, looking at the Yuyin Village on the small island in the center of the lake.

In the heavy rain, Yuyin Village is like a wild beast sitting in the rain curtain, overlooking the entire lake.

Yuyin Village is built in the center of a huge lake. In fact, it is a lake, but it is essentially a basin. Due to the influx of large amounts of rainwater, the basin is covered with rainwater. Due to the bad weather, the buildings in the Country of Rain are very tall, and they are all steel buildings. Very tall.

The Land of Rain has heavy rain all year round. This special weather is only available in a few countries in the ninja world. This country seems to accommodate the heavy rain in the entire ninja world. This humid weather is not very suitable for the people of Konoha who live in four distinct seasons. Very adaptable.

Minato stood by the lake, looking at Yuyin Village in the distance, and ordered: "It seems that we are the fastest, let everyone repair and restore chakra, and wait for the other villages to gather."

"In that case," Kakashi said, "I'll take action too."

Minato nodded and said, "Be careful."

Kakashi singled out a four-person team in the crowd. Including Kakashi, the five people removed their chakra armors and replaced them with a new set of chakra armors. Compared with the replaced chakra armors, , this set of chakra armor is more slender, with a streamlined design, equipped with a respirator, and two breathing cans installed on the back. It is obvious that this is a set of chakra armor suitable for underwater combat.

Putting on the new submersible chakra armor, Kakashi led the entire team and jumped into the lake, and no one quickly disappeared on the lake.

It was pitch black under tens of meters of water. The small searchlight above Kakashi's helmet turned on, and a ray of light illuminated the bottom of the lake in front of him.

After identifying the direction, Kakashi made a forward gesture to the team members behind him, and two streams of water immediately spurted out from under his shoes, pushing Kakashi forward.

In order not to be detected by the Rain Tiger Free Technique, there is only one way to sneak into the Rain Hidden Village quietly, and that is through the water. However, although ninjas can use chakra to fight on the water, fighting underwater is not a ninja's. The strong point is that chakra cannot be used to breathe underwater.

Therefore, Konoha researchers used magic modifications on the original chakra armor in a short period of time to create this new set of diving chakra armor. Because it is specifically designed for water warfare, the main design uses water escape chakra. Only jounin who have mastered Water Release can use it skillfully and achieve maximum combat effectiveness.

With the help of the submersible chakra armor, Kakashi led the entire team to successfully find the sewer entrance of the Hidden Rain Village underwater and sneaked into it through the sewer.
