Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

The large-scale actions of the Sand Village could not be hidden from the eyes of the Konoha side. Both sides tacitly contracted their defenses and accumulated strength, waiting for the day of large-scale combat. The daily fighting in small teams also stopped. The ninjas sharpened their swords in the camp, preparing for the final decisive battle.

One night, the Third Hokage quietly came to the Konoha camp under the protection of the Anbu. The command naturally transferred from Hatake Sakumo to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who would participate in the war as an ordinary ninja. Hatake Sakumo had no objection to this arrangement, or rather, he dared not to have any objection. The big boss personally took the credit, although it was a bit ugly, but you dare to say something? Power makes one so willful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to personally lead a victory to consolidate his ruling position. War is an extension of politics in other directions, and the fundamental purpose of war is to serve politics.

This was a battle that Sand Village had no chance of winning no matter how you looked at it. However, due to the instigation of those with ulterior motives, the pressure gradually grew on the ninjas on both sides.

Ye Shan was young but a veteran of the battlefield. He didn't care about the changes in the camp. He didn't feel any emotion when he knew the decisive battle was coming. He slept, ate and practiced every day. Although it was extremely boring, Ye Shan enjoyed it.

However, the false peace will eventually be broken. The purpose of Konoha Village to support such a large number of people in the Wind Country is not to let them change the environment for training. In fact, these violent elements are clamoring to attack the hometown of Sand Ninja every day. They have no other intentions, but simply want to wear a desert-style turban.

In the staff headquarters of the Konoha camp, the Minato team half-knelt to listen to the lecture of the supreme commander, the Third Hokage. As a good young man who grew up in the spring breeze, Ye Shan didn't want to do this, but when he saw others kneeling naturally, his legs couldn't help but kneel. Although men have gold under their knees, when people wander in a foreign world, they have to adapt to the local customs, right?

"Konoha Village was founded 41 years ago. I was still young at that time, but I deeply understood what kind of changes its establishment would bring to the entire ninja world..." Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly recounted the past with a look of reminiscence on his face.

Wow, Ye Shan called you an expert. Why don’t you start from the Sage of Six Paths? It would be easier to just sit and talk without any pain in your legs.

It was a very long time later, so long that Ye Shan's legs were numb, before he heard some really useful information.

"Namikaze Minato, Shirakumo Hayama, Akimichi Tou, and Inuzuka E." Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted in a deep voice to the kneeling people.

"Yes!"

"As the supreme commander, I order you to defeat the medical team of the Sand Village and kill as many enemy medical ninjas as possible!"

Minato's pupils shrank, but he and his teammates obeyed the order solemnly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, as if he could see the reluctance in Namikaze Minato's heart, and he talked about the importance of the mission again.

"Medical ninjas are important targets in combat. This is all knowledge taught in the ninja school. You are all excellent ninjas in the village, so I don't need to elaborate on this."

At this point Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, took a long puff of cigarette, feeling the comfort the smoke from the burning tobacco brought to his lungs, and continued speaking.

"For the sake of peace and the development of the village, sometimes we have to make some inhumane choices. Konoha ninjas with the will of fire must always fight for the interests of the village. I hope you can keep this in mind."

"Yes!"

After accepting the mission, Minato and Hayama came to the rest tent and prepared for the upcoming battle.

"Yayama, is everything we do meaningful?" Minato asked.

Ye Shan gently wiped the dagger given by Hatake Sakumo. He stopped when he heard Minato's words, looked at Minato's somewhat childish face, sighed slightly, and began to speak.

"You want to ask if this is the right thing to do, right?"

He gestured to interrupt Minato's words, and continued, "There is no so-called right or wrong way in fighting. Those national justice and ethnic justice are pure nonsense to me. I don't know if this is right, but it is the duty of a ninja to complete the mission. Since it is a mission, you must put away your pity, otherwise, you will be the next to die."

"I understand," Minato was feeling a little depressed. Ye Shan's evasive answer did not give him the answer he wanted, or rather, he failed to get Ye Shan's approval.

"If you want to change all this, wait until you really become Hokage one day, and then consider whether this matter is right or not. It's useless for you to think about it now." Ye Shan said this when he saw that Minato was insincere.

Minato's eyes became determined, becoming Hokage was not only his dream, but also a necessity to change the ninja world. He had too much to shoulder and would not allow himself to fail!

Ye Shan looked at Minato Namikaze with a determined look, and felt a little complicated. People are just like this, even if they do something wrong, they can find a bunch of reasons to convince themselves, saints are also like this, not to mention ninjas who fight and kill all day long.

There was no conversation that night. The sun of the next day was not late because today was destined to go down in history. It emitted its light on time, trying to dispel the darkness and bring light to all things.

In fact, it never rains in the Kingdom of Wind, and the rainfall can be accurately calculated in millimeters. However, it rains all the time in the Kingdom of Rain, which is only separated by a mountain range, and the atmosphere is not very harmonious... Based on the geographical knowledge that Ye Shan learned in his previous life, he speculated that the rolling mountains blocked the clouds containing a lot of water vapor, resulting in the two countries having completely opposite climate environments.

This morning, there were no ninjas doing morning exercises as usual in the Konoha camp. Knowing that the second day of the war was approaching, they chose to rest for a while and adjust themselves to the best possible condition in order to have more hope of survival on the battlefield.

Ye Shan lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent. The cool fresh air in the early morning refreshed him. Looking at the sun that had not yet fully risen, like a shy young wife, a smile appeared on Ye Shan's face.

It's another beautiful day, starting with killing someone.

After greeting Minato who hadn't slept well, the two walked side by side towards the cafeteria after he came out. Along the way, many ninjas they knew greeted the two, and Ye Shan responded with a smile. When they arrived at the cafeteria, Ye Shan's face was a little stiff from smiling.

It was customary to have a big meal before a war, and today was no exception even though it was breakfast. As soon as he opened the canteen of his combat squadron, he was almost blinded by the golden and fragrant roasted whole lambs lined up. Although Ye Shan had fought in wars for many years, it was the first time for him to eat desert-style roasted whole lamb in the canteen, and he couldn't help but salivate.

But the eye-catching roasted whole lamb is only the main dish. Other dishes such as barbecue, seafood sushi, ramen, four-color meatballs, etc. are also very tempting. Ye Shan strolled around the cafeteria, as if he had come to the Konoha Village. All the specialties of the village were available here. A sense of familiarity came over him. If there were Dongpo pork, BJ roast duck, crystal pork elbow, and Yangzhou lion head, Ye Shan would probably squeeze out a few tears like a small number of homesick ninjas. Unfortunately, there were no dishes, so Ye Shan saved a few tears because he couldn't cry...

The rich food didn't make Ye Shan eat more. After he was 80% full, he stopped. He was going to do a lot of physical activity, so he shouldn't eat too much. Ye Shan still had some self-control.

After the meal, the smiles disappeared from the faces of the Konoha ninjas, replaced by seriousness and murderous intent. The ninjas stood neatly in the gathering place, and the Konoha standard vests on their bodies added a lot of green to the barren land.

After saying a few polite words and explaining the true meaning of the Will of Fire as usual, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was not good at talking, waved his hand, and kicked off the last group operation in the Second Ninja World War.

The location of the battle was chosen in the middle of the front-line camps of both sides, which was perfect for this war that was not aimed at annihilation.

When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the front of the queue accompanied by Hatake Sakumo, some noise inevitably came from the Sand Ninja side. Hatake Sakumo was no stranger to the Sand Ninjas, and many of them died under his sword. But Sarutobi Hiruzen's participation in the war disrupted the plans of the Sand Ninja's top leaders.

The Third Kazekage, who had originally planned to perform a show of turning the tide, could no longer hide. The sand ninjas gathered behind him, and the whole person was like an angel with black wings, suspended in the air, which made the Sand Ninjas feel at ease.

Shadow vs. Shadow, the last time this happened in the Ninja World was when the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage died together. But that was a small-scale fight between the two of them because of a personal grudge, while this time it was the largest-scale fight in the Ninja World.

No matter how many doubts there are in the village about Sarutobi Hiruzen's ability to govern, it is undeniable that at this stage he is the strongest person in Konoha Village and even in the entire ninja world. Being able to fight side by side with a strong man will undoubtedly make the Konoha ninjas feel a sense of pride and security from the bottom of their hearts.

If Ye Shan could stand in the position of the Third Kazekage and look down at the entire battlefield, he would be surprised to find that the combat vests worn by the ninjas on both sides divided the entire battlefield into completely different colors. The Konoha side was green, and the Sand Village side was earthy gray. The two colors abruptly changed the original color of the terrain, which was shocking.

War has come again with the company of the god of death. No one dares to pat their chest and guarantee that they will be able to return alive, not even Sarutobi Hiruzen. Those who said they would return home to get married after the war were destined to be cuckolds.

The steady Ye Shan could no longer be steady, adrenaline was madly stimulating his nerves, making his heart beat abnormally. Ye Shan knew that killing a medical ninja was inhumane, but compared to being killed, he still preferred to send the enemy to see the Sage of Six Paths.

Only living ninjas are qualified to talk about humanitarianism. Dead ninjas only deserve to be commemorated on memorials, right?
