Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

"By the way, take these amulets. I'm leaving first!"

After stuffing several three-patterned amulets folded into a triangle into the hands of Kushina and Mikoto, Asakawa Naoki fled like he was running away, following Orochimaru and Jiraiya's team.

"This kid is really lucky."

Looking at Asakawa Naoki who rushed back to the team, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh, with a bit of ridicule and envy in his tone.

"Jiraiya, if you were more serious, you would have taken Tsunade down long ago." Orochimaru said helplessly.

"Orochimaru, you don't understand, you have no feelings." Jiraiya shook his head and said in a somewhat lewd tone:

"It's good that I like Tsunade, and Tsunade is indeed very good, but I, Jiraiya, will never hang myself on a tree."

"What I long for is to own a forest!"

"..."

Orochimaru covered his forehead and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Rope Tree also made similar moves, and he became more determined in his heart that he would never leave his sister to Jiraiya!

"Okay, let's go!"

After that, Orochimaru and Jiraiya took the lead, followed by Asakawa Naoki and Namikaze Minato.

After spending more than half a year on the Rain Ninja battlefield, in addition to Asakawa Naoki and Namikaze Minato, Rope Tree and the other three teammates also have the strength of Chunin.

In addition to Namikaze Minato, whose strength is close to that of Jonin, and Asakawa Naoki, who even Orochimaru can't understand, these two teams don't have to worry too much even if Orochimaru and Jiraiya don't lead them.

After two days of rushing, Asakawa Naoki's two teams have arrived at the border between the River Country and the Rain Country, which is also the place where Konoha and the Sand Village fought.

Here, Asakawa Naoki saw a white-haired ninja with a rare hair color.

"Lord Sakumo." Orochimaru and Jiraiya looked at the white-haired ninja at the same time, with a bit of respect in their tone.

The person in front of him was none other than the long-established elite jonin of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo, known as the "White Fang of Konoha", Kakashi's father, and also the highest commander of Konoha Village in the Sand Ninja Battlefield.

"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, you don't have to be so polite." Hatake Sakumo smiled gently, and then looked at Asakawa Naoki, who was about the same height as Orochimaru, with some surprise in his eyes.

"This must be Asakawa Naoki, he was promoted to jonin at such a young age, he is really a hero in his youth."

"Lord Sakumo, you are too kind." Asakawa Naoki smiled.

At the moment when his eyes met with Hatake Sakumo's, he could feel the sharpness hidden in Hatake Sakumo's gentle eyes.

Asakawa Naoki had seen this kind of sharpness in the eyes of another ninja, that is, Hanzo the Salamander!

During this period when the three ninjas had not yet grown up, Hatake Sakumo was stronger than the three ninjas and truly reached the "Kage level".

It's a pity that such a true blade of Konoha was eventually forced to death by Konoha's high-level public opinion.

The rise of Konoha's F4 is indeed a sign of Konoha's declining strength.

"Haha, I hope my son Kakashi can also become an excellent ninja like you." Hatake Sakumo laughed.

"I will definitely." Asakawa Naoki nodded.

It is now the 38th year of Konoha, and Kakashi should be only one or two years old.

If I hadn't appeared, Kakashi would be the fastest ninja to be promoted to Jonin, and he became a Jonin at the age of twelve.

"Thank you for your good words." Hatake Sakumo straightened his face and started to talk about business:

"Orochimaru, how is the village going to deal with the Sand Ninja?"

"Lord Sakumo, this is the resolution obtained by the Third Hokage at the Jonin Conference." Orochimaru took out a scroll and handed it to Hatake Sakumo.

The Third Hokage sent them here, not only to strengthen Konoha's strength, but also to bring Konoha's next strategic direction.

After taking the scroll and opening it, Hatake Sakumo's originally good mood became a little helpless.

He thought that the village sent elite jonins like Orochimaru and Jiraiya here to defeat the Sand Ninja in one fell swoop and end the war.

Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage meant for them to hold back the Sand Village and maintain a stalemate.

And ordered them not to show too much strength, so as not to stimulate the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

Although this strategy of slowly bleeding can greatly consume the manpower of the Sand Village, it also consumes Konoha.

War consumes not only the lives of ninjas, but also requires money.

Maintaining a long war will not be a small loss to Konoha.

According to Hatake Sakumo's idea, it is better to defeat the Sand Village with all your strength and kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

If the other four major countries are ready to form alliances, they can let Danzo and the Anbu ninjas create friction between them. Anyway, the four major countries are not living in peace, and the hatred between them can beIt will not be easily eliminated.

But now that the village has given the next strategy, Hatake Sakumo, as the person in charge of the Sand Village battlefield, has no way to violate it and can only follow the village's ideas.

"After a long journey, you should rest first." Hatake Sakumo knocked on the table and a Chunin led several people to their residence.

Because the battlefield lasted for a long time, there were many wooden houses in the Konoha camp on the Sand Village battlefield, so they didn't have to squeeze in the tent with their teammates.

Because of the consumption strategy of Konoha Village, after Asakawa Naoki and others came to the Sand Village front line, the intensity of the war was not great.

In addition, Hatake Sakumo, the commander of the Sand Village front line, did not assign them dangerous tasks like Danzo, so Asakawa Naoki simply used the Senzu Bean clone to do the task.

After breaking through the Qi Refining and Spiritualization, his Senzu Bean clone already has the full strength of a Jonin.

Under his control, it was almost no problem to take Rope Tree and Masamura Oki to do some tasks. Even if there was a problem, the other Senzu beans carried by the Senzu Bean clones could solve it.

He set up a formation barrier in the wooden house, fully practicing the basic Qi Refining Technique and Qi Fire, and at the same time separated four Senzu Bean clones to make talismans.

With the help of the Nine-Tails, Asakawa Naoki was not short of natural energy at all.

As time passed, his cultivation was also soaring.

At the same time, in the Land of Fields, a team of three Rain Ninjas were guarding a caravan heading towards the Frost Country. The captain was Kawahara Si, who had exchanged five talismans not long ago.

Next to Kawahara Si sat two teammates wearing Rain Ninja forehead protectors, but the two teammates were not in a good mood at this time.

The situation in the Ninja World is not optimistic now. Although there is no war in the Land of Rain for the time being, the war between Konoha and Sand Village has not ended yet, and the friction between Cloud Village and Rock Village in the Land of Fields is getting more and more intense.

Even though the rewards for missions near the Land of Rice are getting higher and higher, and even the rewards for B-level missions are close to A-level missions, the ninja villages of the four major countries are unwilling to do commissioned missions near the Land of Rice, fearing that they will be affected by the upcoming war.

Only the Hidden Rain Village has to send a large number of Rain Ninjas to take on missions to obtain resources and money because of Konoha's destruction of the Land of Rain.
