Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Although the Iron Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom are neighbors, they are actually separated by the sea, which is disadvantageous for the attacking party. If they come from the road, they need to cross a desolate Gobi Desert, which can be regarded as a natural barrier.

The current location of the conflict between the two countries is the coastline of the northeastern border of the Iron Country. The Cloud Ninjas sneaked into the Iron Country along the coastline, so even if they were discovered, they had a retreat and did not need to fight a desperate battle. They could retreat back to the Lightning Country along the coastline.

Of course, as one of the five major countries, the Thunder Country, although it did not mobilize its full strength, was confident that the Iron Country was no match for it, so it did not care about this. The reason why it did not come by boat and attack the Iron Country directly was because the sea was unpredictable and the storm was beyond human power, so it had to advance by land.

"Why did the Land of Lightning suddenly launch an attack on the Land of Iron for no reason?" Although I knew from the intelligence that there was a battle between the Cloud Ninja and the Iron Ninja warriors, and that the Konoha Ninja led by Danzo were also involved, I didn't know the specific reasons and events, so I asked while heading to the front line.

"I don't know where this rumor came from, but it's said that the Iron Country hides a gem that can suppress all changes in the nature of chakra. This is also the reason why the warriors of the Iron Country don't use ninjutsu." A young samurai next to Mifune replied.

"My name is Okisuke, and I'm currently the captain of the guards for Lord Mifune. Thank you for your guidance." Seeing my gaze turning to him, the young samurai did not look down on me because of my young age and introduced myself.

I also replied: "I am Hyuga Kumoyu, and I am here to assist Danzo-sama under the order of the Hokage, hoping to drive the Kumo Ninja out of the Iron Kingdom as soon as possible."

After exchanging names, the two became familiar with each other. Okisuke complained: "Such nonsense, but the Cloud Ninjas believed it to be true. They actually sent ninjas to sneak into our country to investigate. After being discovered, they even went further and sent ninjas to station at the coastline border without any concealment."

Although I don't know whether the rumor is true or not, in my impression, this is indeed what the Cloud Ninja will do. As one of the five major countries, the spirit of the Lightning Country is the most fierce and tough, and they believe that strength is respected.

The previous attempt to kidnap Kushina, who had just become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, in order to study how to become a perfect Jinchuriki, and the later kidnapping of Hyuga Hinata in order to obtain the Byakugan and crack the secret of the Bloodline Limit, all prove the fact that the Cloud Ninjas will do anything to improve their strength.

Although I don't know where the Cloud Ninja got the information from, and I'm not sure whether the news is true or not, after all, the ninja world is so vast that the anime of the previous life couldn't show even a fraction of it, so naturally there are many secrets that I don't know.

I do know a little about Okisuke. In my memory, he can probably be considered the second most important figure in the Land of Iron. As Mifune's right-hand man, his strength is naturally impressive.

Of course, he is still young. In my opinion, although he has the strength of a jonin level and can be regarded as a leader in the Land of Iron, he still has enough room and potential for growth. Even if he cannot eventually reach the level of Kage, he can still be an elite jonin.

"The customs of the Land of Lightning have always been like this. They even dare to sneak into Konoha. Minato and I have fought against several of them before. The strength of the Cloud Ninjas cannot be underestimated."

As we were talking, we had already arrived at the Cloud Ninja Camp on the coast. Compared to the two country camps that I had seen before in the Rain Country and the Wind Country, the Cloud Ninja Camp was relatively much smaller. After all, they came across the sea, and the number of forces deployed by the Cloud Ninjas was limited, but most of them were elite ninjas.

However, what is strange is that even if they are all elite ninjas, such a number is obviously not suitable for a head-on confrontation, and the goal of the Cloud Ninjas is to obtain the orb that is rumored to be hidden in the Iron Country, not to invade the Iron Country.

Fighting against the samurai group headed by Mifune would not help the Cloud Ninja achieve their goals, unless they were certain that the orb was in Mifune's hands, then they would confront the samurai head-on at all costs.

However, although I am not sure whether the Iron Kingdom really has the rumored orb, it is very likely that Mifune does not have it in his hands. Otherwise, as a character with some roles, I should have some impression of it.

The ninjas in the Cloud Ninja Camp were also very alert. When our group climbed up to look at the Cloud Ninja Camp, we could see the shadowy Cloud Ninjas feeling that they were being spied on and were looking in our direction.

Okisuke pointed to a row of large tents built along the coastline and said to me: "That's the Cloud Ninja camp. After we discovered that some Cloud Ninja had infiltrated the Iron Country and issued an order to drive them away, the Cloud Ninja gathered here. I wonder what they want to do."

It seems that the Iron Country is still concerned about the strength of one of the five major countries of the Lightning Country and does not want to take the initiative to declare war on the Lightning Country. When the Cloud Ninjas do not take the initiative to attack, even with the support of Danzo, they do not take the initiative to attack the gathered Cloud Ninjas.

"But something seems to be wrong with this camp." For my Byakugan, which is a visual perception system, this distance is enough for me to see clearly that there are not as many ninjas in the Cloud Ninja Camp as Okisuke introduced.
