Chapter 628: High-level Battle
Under the leadership of Yagura Karuta, thousands of Kirigakure ninjas landed quickly and attacked Konoha's border defense forces in the northeast of the Land of Fire.

Due to the massive attack by Kumogakure, Konoha is very concerned about the situation in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire.

So they quickly noticed the attack of Kirigakure.

The Kirigakure's combat style is quite unique, and you can recognize it even without looking at the forehead protector.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very happy recently because a second Wood Release ninja appeared in the village, and he was the super genius Mu Yue, who was guaranteed to be a young version of Senju Hashirama. There was hope for the glory of the God of Ninja to reappear.

As a result, less than two weeks later, the news of Kirigakure's invasion of the Land of Fire arrived in his office.

Also arriving was the dissatisfaction of the Fire Country Daimyo.

Probably because ninja villages have repeatedly broken through the defense lines and entered the Land of Fire recently, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire wrote a special letter to Sarutobi Hiruzen, asking him to quickly resolve the invading enemies and ensure the country's security.

Although the daimyo is only higher than the Hokage in name, this time Sarutobi Hiruzen really had no choice but to admit his mistake and make a promise.

Because the basis of Konoha's cooperation with the Fire Nation is that Konoha, as the military force of the Fire Nation, protects the Fire Nation. If Konoha fails to stop the ninja enemies, it would be Konoha's dereliction of duty.

"Everyone really knows how to choose the time." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.

He originally thought that the issue of Cloud Village in the Land of Fire had been resolved, and he could focus some of his energy on investigating the death of Danzo Shimura, but then the Mist Village came in again.

Now, let alone dealing with the death of Danzo Shimura, protecting the country is not an easy task, as another of the five major ninja villages has joined the battlefield.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly.

He was greatly shocked when he learned of Danzo Shimura's death, but the sadness in his heart was not as great as he had imagined.

The really uncomfortable time was when I was taking a break after work. I was too tired to think, and subconsciously a thought came to my mind: why has Danzo been so well-behaved recently and hasn't come to the Hokage's office? But then I immediately realized that Danzo had died.

The moment you react, your heart will be filled with endless melancholy, and you will feel regret and sadness when you think of the past.

"Notify the two consultants to come to the Hokage's office." Sarutobi Hiruzen called the Anbu and ordered.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen, he must avenge Danzo Shimura, but before he became Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was first the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha.

As Hokage, the highest priority is always to ensure the safety and interests of Konoha.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.

"Enter."

The two advisors walked into the Hokage's office. The Anbu did not come in, but just silently closed the door and stood guard outside.

"The Hidden Mist has joined the war again and sent ninja troops to land in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire." Sarutobi Hiruzen wasted no time and directly explained the information.

"How dare they? Weren't they hurt from the beating last time?" said Utane Koharu with a sullen face.

"The daimyo was dissatisfied with this and asked us to eliminate the invading enemies as soon as possible." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"That really needs to be taken extra seriously." Mizuto Menen showed a serious expression.

If the problem is not solved well, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has every reason to reduce the military spending on Konoha.

"In order to quickly resolve the attack from Kirigakure, I think it is necessary to have a senior leader lead the troops to the battlefield to boost morale." Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he glanced at the two of them.

Minato Namikaze was sent to the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs the day before. Compared with the Village of Mist and the Village of Cloud, they were more serious enemies, so Sarutobi Hiruzen was not planning to transfer Minato Namikaze back to the Land of Fire to form a ninja army.

Originally, Mu Yue was also a good choice, but Mu Yue had just developed Wood Release not long ago and needed time to practice. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want to send Mu Yue to the battlefield for the time being.

Since neither Minato Namikaze nor Mu Yue can be chosen, there are not many people left to choose from.

As high-ranking officials of Konoha, Mito Kado En and others are naturally qualified, and may even have special effects.

"This……"

Utane Koharu was hesitant to speak. She felt that the current war situation was not so bad that the top leaders needed to go to the battlefield. After all, the top leaders' other tasks were also very important.

However, Utane Koharu was worried that if she told the truth, Sarutobi Hiruzen would think that she had not been to the battlefield for a long time and was afraid to go.

“Isn’t Mu Yue still in Konoha? He has also mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his other abilities are even stronger than Minato’s.

He played a big role in defeating Kirigakure Muyue last time, so he should be able to complete the task." Utatane Koharu recommended Muyue.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and refused:
"Mu Yue has developed Wood Release, and he needs time to practice it."

"Why did he develop Wood Release after that? Wait! What did he develop?" After realizing what was going on, Utatane Koharu asked Sarutobi Hiruzen with an incredulous look on her face.

Rather than believing that Mu Yue had developed Wood Release, she would rather believe that she had heard it wrong.

"Mu Yue has mastered Wood Release now?" Mizuto Menyan on the side asked with a shocked expression.

To him, this was much more surprising than Kirigakure's attack on the Land of Fire.

The reactions of the two consultants were within Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations. After all, this was Wood Release, and he was the second ninja to develop Wood Release independently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded calmly and replied, "You heard it right, he did develop Wood Release. Just ten days ago, I saw him perform Wood Release with my own eyes."

"A second Wood Release Ninja has appeared in Konoha."

"How could it be? Is his mother a member of the Senju clan?" Utane Koharu subconsciously felt that Mu Yue had the blood of the Senju clan.

Although it still sounds outrageous, it is a little more reasonable.

"None of the descendants of the first generation possess Wood Release. Do you think an ordinary Senju bloodline can be useful? Maybe Wood Release is the exclusive bloodline limit of a unique genius." Sarutobi Hiruzen denied Utatane Koharu's bloodline theory.

"Mu Yue's ice escape was also developed by himself. Maybe he is the kind of genius that only appears once in a century." Mizuto Menyan said after thinking about something.

Excluding other factors, the remaining result, no matter how impossible it is, is reality.

"In this case, Mu Yue is indeed not suitable to go to the battlefield now."

"I'll go." Mizuto Menyan thought about it and volunteered.

Mu Yue needs to practice and grow, but Utane Koharu doesn't want to go. As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly can't go out easily, so it has to be him.

"Yan, be careful on the battlefield." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement and reminded.

Mizutomon En is a good choice. In addition to his identity and qualifications, Mizutomon En himself is also a ninja with strong strength.

"Don't try to be brave on the battlefield. You are no longer the Mizutomon En who practiced every day." Utane Koharu also reminded.

After becoming senior leaders, they not only stayed away from the battlefield, but also neglected training, and their strength was bound to decline.

"I'll pay attention and wait for my good news." Mizuto Menyan said with a faint smile.

After discussing a series of matters concerning the ninja forces, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu left the Hokage's office.

"Don't let any more accidents happen." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in the office.

Now he just wants to end the war quickly and avenge his old friend, and pass on the position after Mu Yue has fully grown up.

……

In the southern forest, Mu Yue was instructing the disciples on their training.

He deliberately staggered part of his teaching time so that he could take care of both sides, not falling behind in his disciples' practice, while also ensuring the progress of the training team.

"Teacher Muyue, is Shisui busy with something recently? I feel like I rarely see him now." Obito asked casually during a break.

"He joined the training team..." Mu Yue replied.

"What department is the training team? Training in ninjutsu?" Obito heard of this department for the first time and asked curiously.

"They do have this function. You can think of the training team as a special version of ANBU."

Although it is a confidential department, not all information needs to be kept confidential.

When Kakashi heard the word Anbu, he couldn't help but look over with a surprised expression.

He didn't think the ANBU was that great, but it was indeed a very mysterious department for ordinary ninjas, and the one Shisui joined was not an ordinary ANBU.

"It's actually the Anbu!" Obito showed an expression of surprise and worry.

"I've read a ninja novel with a plot like this. The protagonist joined the Anbu, carried out a secret mission, and discovered the secrets of the upper echelons, and then..."

"So that's a novel." Kakashi said speechlessly.

He didn't know much about the Anbu, but the Anbu was a department directly under the Hokage. If they really found out about the top leaders, it would be the Hokage's will.

"I didn't say that Shisui would definitely encounter such a thing. It's just quite unexpected that Shisui suddenly joined this mysterious department." Obito retorted.

Boom! !

While the two were bickering, bursts of roars suddenly came from not far away.

"Is Kai tinkering with new taijutsu again?"

Obito stood up and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Might Guy making eagle claws with his hands, constantly attacking the surrounding trees and the ground.

"The combination of the Eight Gates and Rock Breathing is too powerful. Even a simple swing of the claws is very powerful." Obito couldn't help but say.

Ever since Might Guy's potential exploded in the Hidden Mist battlefield, his strength increased greatly. He directly dominated the civil war among the disciples and has been at the top of the list for a long time.

Only after Kakashi mastered the Lightning Breathing Chakra Mode did the battle become more possible, not because Might Guy was absolutely first.

But only Kakashi can pose a slight threat to Might Guy. The other disciples have little chance of winning against Might Guy.

Obito was both happy and unwilling to see his good brother, who had once won against him, top the list.

He was happy that his good friend's efforts had paid off, but he was unwilling that he had not been able to take first place for a long time.

"After all, it takes such hard training to master this forbidden technique." Kakashi sighed.

The amount of training that Might Guy does in just one day is terrifying, but Might Guy has persisted in it for several years. You have to know that Might Guy is only twelve years old now, which means that he has been exercising most of his short life.

Obito did not continue arguing with Kakashi, but instead concentrated on refining his chakra. When he had enough chakra, he immediately began to practice Blue Flame.

When everyone was still young and their bodies had not yet developed, Shisui dominated among the disciples for a period of time with his superhuman talent.

Kakashi once relied on his unique transparent world to defeat all his disciples one after another.

And although he occasionally shines in battle, he has never dominated the team.

Uchiha Obito also wanted to become the strongest disciple that would make Mu Yue proud, but it was a pity that his Fire Style was too inferior in the early and middle stages.

Although Qingyan is strong, he started learning too late and has not yet fully mastered it.

At this time, Obito only wanted to become stronger and reach the level where he could dominate.

If I can't dominate the disciples' civil war in my entire life, I will not be reconciled even if I realize my dream of becoming Hokage in the future.

After Kakashi's physical strength recovered, he quickly began to practice the Wuxiang Yidao and Armament Haki.

He only has a hope of defeating Might Guy. In terms of overall strength, Might Guy is still much stronger than him.

Might Guy didn't know that his training stimulated Obito and Kakashi. He was excited about the gratifying progress of his new physical skills.

"With this level of completion, it's time to give it a name." Might Guy began to think about the name of his new physical skill.

He believes that the name of the physical technique is also very important, otherwise it will lack momentum when shouted out.

"I thought of this physical skill this morning, and got the inspiration from Hei Yu, so let's call it Morning Eagle!" Might Guy didn't hesitate for too long and quickly decided on the name of the new physical skill.

Might Guy has his own ideas when naming, sometimes he names based on the characteristics of physical skills, such as xx whirlwind.

Sometimes, a combination of ferocious beasts is added based on the training time of the physical skills or the initial source of inspiration, such as the noon leopard.

After the afternoon training, Mu Yue went home with Yamato again.

"I've taken care of everything for you at the Ninja School. You can go directly to school next Monday." Mu Yue said.

Although he doesn't go to the Ninja School very often now, he is indeed the vice-principal of the Ninja School, so it is a natural thing for him to make arrangements for Yamato.

"Go to school..." After hearing Mu Yue say this, Yamato remembered that he still had to go to school.

"Well, thank you for your trouble." Yamato thanked Mu Yue.

"It's just a small thing. At your age, you should go to school." Mu Yue said with a smile.

After dinner, Mu Yue chatted with Yamato for a while before leaving.

"What will life be like when I go to school?" Watching Mu Yue leave, Yamato began to think.

Danzo Shimura only taught him ninjutsu and the responsibility to protect Konoha. All his knowledge of the ninja school came from Obito and the others' occasional reminiscing about the past.

The school that Obito mentioned is very strange. It is a strange place where you want to go when you can't go, but don't want to go when you want to go.

Might Guy once said that school is a place that changes one's life, and he put in a lot of effort to get into the Ninja School.

Yamato had never heard much about school from Kakashi.

"Wood Release: Flying Leaf Blade!"

Yamato stopped thinking and started practicing.

Once he actually goes to school, he will naturally know what kind of place it is.

Before that, he still has to practice seriously. After all, the predecessors are so strong, and they still practice diligently every day. He, the weakest one, cannot slack off.

PS: There will be another chapter later, the time is unknown, it is recommended to go to bed early and read it tomorrow.
