Naruto: Hundred Flowers Niandi

Konoha Hokage Office.

The Third Hokage frowned, holding a pipe in his mouth and puffing away smoke. On the table in front of him was the intelligence that had just been sent back from the southwest border in the morning.

The intelligence news is really not good or bad. The current situation is that after several large-scale battles, both sides have suffered damage to each other.

Sunagakure seemed to have understood that because of the previous defeat, it was already difficult to break through Konoha's defense line in one go.

Therefore, the pace of the attack was temporarily slowed down and instead small-scale harassment operations were carried out. The battle on the entire southwest border also transitioned from a tense situation to a stalemate.

Although there is no longer the sense of oppression caused by the direct pressure of a large force, the guerrilla harassment from Sunagakure from time to time still troubles Konoha's ninjas.

The southwest border of the Land of Fire is not too short. Even though it is separated from Sunagakure by the Land of Kawakawa, Sunagakure still has many choices for locations for sneak attacks and harassment. He hammers here and there all day long, causing Konoha to suffer. The defenders were really overwhelmed.

Therefore, Orochimaru, as the commander of the southwest border operations, decided to take the initiative and form an elite team to go deep into the Kingdom of Wind to conduct harassment behind enemy lines to relieve the pressure on the border.

However, the existing elites on the southwest border who were suitable for such operations behind enemy lines were insufficient. For this reason, he specifically asked the village to transfer several elites to him who could perform such tasks.

In the letter, Orochimaru also mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that a certain hero who had prevented the Suna Ninja's raid plan must have had experience in dealing with the Suna Ninja elite and was the perfect candidate for such a task.

Regarding Orochimaru's battle plan, the Third Hokage had no other ideas, and it was reasonable. However, he had some difficulties as to whether to transfer Chiba Mai there.

Yesterday, the team transporting supplies to the northwest returned to the village and brought back information about the northwest.

In the intelligence, Nara Shikaku gave a detailed description of the ambush. The important role played by Chiba Mai and the amazing strength displayed were all written down in the report, and he was given Highly praised, it deserves a lot of credit.

"Capture Iwakakujounin alive and obtain important information"

"Knowing Iwagakure's informants made the ambush plan possible."

"Alone, I intercepted and killed the Iwa Ninja Demolition Unit that killed more than 30 people."

Looking at the astonishing information contained in the simple words in the report, even the Third Hokage couldn't help but be moved by it. He couldn't help but sigh: Among the new seedlings of Konoha, a Sarracenia has grown.

But the better Chiba Mai performed, the more uncertain the Third Hokage became.

Going deep behind enemy lines is usually accompanied by great dangers. What's more, Orochimaru's plan is to have the elite team attack and create chaos, rather than simply lurking. This is tantamount to lifting the tiger's beard under the tiger's paws, and its dangers are self-evident. Metaphor.

What if this flower, which has not yet grown up, dies in the strong wind and flying sand of the Kingdom of Winds? Thinking of this, the third Hokage's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Putting the pipe in his mouth and freeing his hands, the Third Hokage took out the report from Nara Shikaku that was sent back yesterday from the drawer with one hand. With the other hand, he picked up Orochimaru's battle plan on the table and put the two pages The paper was held in front of my eyes, and my gaze switched back and forth between the two.

After a long while, the Third Hokage slowly stacked the two reports together and put them back on the table. As if he had made a difficult decision, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the white smoke drifted down the gap between the pipe in his mouth.

Holding the pipe in his hand, the Third Hokage slowly stood up and looked out the window under a tree.

Outside the shade of the tree, a small yellow flower exuding vitality in the sun is swaying gently in the breeze, looking completely different from the other flowers sheltered by the shade of the tree next to it.

"Only flowers that have experienced wind and rain can have such vitality and color."

After letting out a subtle sigh, the Third Hokage looked solemn.

"come"

Konoha northwest border camp.

Since the last ambush, the Iwa ninjas have been very calm and restrained, and even the spies have been withdrawn. Therefore, in order to reduce the pressure on the ninjas, Nara Shikaku divided everyone into three groups, taking turns to be responsible for the daily patrols of the border. For defense, except during shifts, the rest of the time can be freely used as long as you do not leave the camp.

At this time, several chuunin who were taking a break were sitting together, chatting and relaxing.

Just when a few people were chatting and laughing, their eyes couldn't help but glance at a figure sitting cross-legged under a tree not far away, with respect and unconcealed curiosity in their eyes.

After witnessing the stunning scene that day, the corpses they saw while cleaning the battlefield shocked everyone. In addition to the stunning Lei Dun, they also had feelings for that heroic little figure. An extra layer of unforgettable impressions.

Chiba Mayi, who was under the tree, had naturally felt the attention from several people, but she didn't pay much attention to it. This was nothing new.

There were quite a few people who witnessed it that day. After that, they often looked at her position curiously, and many Chuunin even called her Mayi-sama.

In fact, speaking of it, according to Chiba Mai's status as a special jounin at this time, it is not strange to be called "sama" by a chuunin, not to mention that above this status, she has also shown amazing strength. It was no surprise that Shinobu called her that.

At first, Chiba Mayi felt a little embarrassed, but after a few times, she discovered that being called "sa" is quite good, especially when these people are older than her, thinking about this , and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

But at this time, Chiba Mai did not have any unnecessary reaction. She still closed her eyes slightly, turned on her perception, and concentrated on controlling and observing the ball of silver thunder attribute chakra that was only the size of a palm and was spinning rapidly on her slender and white palm.

This is a miniature version of the magically modified version of the Rasenian aura. In its extreme state, it is closer to the Otama Rasengan with thunder attributes. At this time, she is trying to perform more precise control to further increase its extreme size.

After "killing monsters" that day, she reached level [-]. With her thunder attribute talent augmented by her passive skills, she quickly mastered the thunder escape chakra mode of "Nian Beast Dragon Tiger Roar".

Compared with the third-generation Raikage who is good at defense and the fourth-generation Raikage who is more focused on speed, Chiba Mai's Thunder Release Chakra mode is more balanced in terms of bonuses, with both defense and speed greatly improved.

Although her defense is not comparable to that of the Third Raikage, with the acceleration of the "Wind Breath", her speed is by no means inferior to that of the Fourth Raikage. Her attack method of punching out dragons and tigers has greatly improved her physical skills. improvement.

It's just that in this state, the thunder attribute chakra needs to be continuously released. Even with the amount of chakra brought by "iron bones" and excellent spiritual power that far exceeds that of peers, it cannot be kept open in a long battle. state.

Of course, if it is solved quickly, this is not a big problem, and as she gets older, when her body starts to develop, the amount of chakra will naturally increase significantly. If it doesn't work, you can still ask Tsunade for advice on the Yin Seal.
