Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

I accidentally stole the title of the youngest jonin from Hatake Kakashi, but Hatake Sakumo said it was not bad, so I just smiled and followed Hatake Sakumo back to the Konoha camp.

After Inuzuka Kanae and the other two returned to the Konoha camp, they went straight to report what our team had encountered to Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo judged that the Sand Ninjas Akasawa and Unohana were also an accidental encounter, so he did not mobilize the ninjas of the Konoha camp, but went to support them alone.

The fight with Akasaga no Tsubasa and Unohana didn't last long, and Hatake Sakumo and I were also very fast, so we returned to the Konoha camp not long after Inuzuka Kanae and the other two returned to the Konoha camp.

"Lord Hatake, Captain Hyuga, are you okay?" Inuzuka Kanae and the other two were naturally worried about me being alone against two elite jonin of the Sand Ninja, so when they saw Hatake Sakumo and I returning, they came forward and asked us with concern.

"I just exchanged a few tentative moves. I'm not hurt." Seeing Shimura Isshin and Yuhi Ichiro's concerned eyes, I raised my hand to signal that I was fine.

"Although the main battlefield is now in the Land of Rain, our mission is to ensure the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of River, and not to actively conflict with the Sand Ninjas." Hatake Sakumo saw that most of the ninjas came out to greet the two of us, so he took the opportunity to say

"But the Sand Ninja obviously doesn't think so. Recently, the number of Sand Ninja reconnaissance and scout teams has increased significantly. Now even the Red Sand Wings and Unohana have appeared on the front line. Everyone must be more cautious in future activities."

"Yes, Hatake-sama."

Although I was not injured, I had fought with two elite jonin for quite a while, and the fourth gate of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu was opened. So after returning to the Konoha camp, I still had to rest for a night to get rid of my fatigue.

Ever since the commanders of Konoha and Sand Ninja met, the conflict between the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom became more intense. The reconnaissance ninjas of both sides fought each other in the River Kingdom, and almost every day there were injured and dead ninjas being taken back to the logistics medical team or returned to Konoha.

The war between ninjas is different from that between ordinary people. Even the five major countries can mobilize no more than 10,000 ninjas to participate in the war. Moreover, the current scale of the war is far from requiring full mobilization.

So in the main battlefield of the Rain Country, Jiraiya and his three ninjas led several hundred ninjas and were considered the main force of Konoha. While in the Wind Country as a secondary battlefield, Hatake Sakumo had only a little over a hundred ninjas under his command.

Compared to the battlefield in the Land of Rain where there are more ninjas, the battlefield in the Land of Wind where the scout battle is so fierce can basically be regarded as a formal war.

During the few days when our team was resting, the ninjas in the Konoha camp took turns to go out, and Hatake Sakumo also took part in the battle himself. What was originally just a scout battle to gather intelligence had evolved into a real war.

However, as a secondary battlefield in this Ninja World War, the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom have limited the power they have invested in the battle in the River Kingdom, and are mainly focusing on defense, so it has not yet evolved into a real war.

Hatake Sakumo was obviously not satisfied with the current situation, so he called together the senior ninjas in the Konoha camp to discuss subsequent action plans and options. Because of my performance in the previous battles against Akazano Tsubasa and Unohana, I was also one of the participants in this meeting.

Excluding those who were injured and those who were out on missions, there were about twenty or so ninjas participating in this meeting. Most of them were Konoha jonin. In addition to Hatake Sakumo, there were only two other ninjas who reached the elite jonin level. As Hatake Sakumo's deputies, they were responsible for matters related to the battlefield in the Kingdom of Wind.

The world of ninjas is ultimately a matter of strength. Although Konoha is one of the few democratic and open-minded ninja villages in the ninja world, in theory all the jonin can participate in major matters in the village and vote, which is democratic centralism in every sense of the word.

However, since powerful ninjas have greater influence and say, both in terms of personal charm and reality, it is still a few of them who can truly decide the policies and paths of a village.

The same is true for the Wind Country battlefield. As the person in charge of the Wind Country battlefield, Hatake Sakumo is not a ninja who swallows his anger and is afraid of death.

On the contrary, Hatake Sakumo was at the peak of his youth and was ruthless when dealing with his enemies, earning him the nickname the White Fang of Konoha.

Therefore, Hatake Sakumo would not back down from the Sand Ninja's provocations: "Our mission is to keep the Sand Ninja out of the River Country and ensure the stability and security of the Fire Country."

"But as the saying goes, there is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who guards against thieves for a thousand days. The Sand Ninja are currently pressing us aggressively. In my opinion, this is also our chance to deal a heavy blow to the Sand Ninja once and for all."

"The Sand Ninja is similar to our Konoha. Their main battlefield is in the Land of Rain. So apart from the enemy we are facing now, the Sand Ninja does not have much follow-up support. If we can severely damage the Sand Ninja in one battle and eliminate its manpower, the Land of Rivers can be peaceful for a while."
