Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 70 Desert Death God
Fujiwara was extremely surprised and cautiously suggested: "Why don't we conduct reconnaissance on the outside first? The opponent's strength is not very clear yet."

"It's too troublesome." Fukawa shook his head, "I roughly sensed it based on chakra. There are probably only three jounin and nine genin in the opponent's camp."

This distance... the new squad leader is actually a sentient ninja?
And there are actually three Jonin?
Judging from his experience, this kind of stronghold will almost certainly be listed as the most difficult to deal with.

It often takes a large number of elite troops to besiege and remove them.

Fujiwara immediately wanted to quit, "Squad leader, should we stand by nearby and ask for support?"

However, the monitor did not respond to him. Instead, he put his thumb in his mouth and bit it hard, and then quickly began to form seals on his hand.

It turned out to be spiritism.

The experienced Fujiwara could judge the next ninjutsu movement of his squad leader from the starting position at a glance.

At this distance, is it possible to use the psychic beast to obtain information first?
It's a good idea. Unexpectedly, this squad leader has sophistication that belies his age.

Fujiwara somewhat believed the previous rumors about the new squad leader.

Wait, what's going on here?
Fujiwara's eyes widened, and he felt an extremely strong chakra gathering from around him.

After the squad leader finished forming the seal, he quickly jumped up and pressed down the psychic seal.

There was a loud bang!
A strong wind roared in, blowing away the thick smoke produced by the necromancy in an instant.

The four Fujiwaras managed to use chakra to condense on the soles of their feet to prevent them from being blown away.

Fujiwara, who was under the huge shadow, stared blankly at the mountain-like beast.

A thunderous voice sounded, "Oooh, ooh, boy, why did you call me this time?"

"Shukaku, this is my first time leading a team on a mission." Fukawa sat cross-legged on Shukaku's head, "Show me your skills to my subordinates!"

"Tch! If you hadn't stopped me secretly last time, I would have killed all those people long ago!"

Fukawa understood that Shukaku was referring to the night attack on Sand Hill Town.

"Shukaku, you are making too much noise. I don't want you to be suppressed by my own people after taking action," Fukawa said helplessly, "Stop nagging. The northwest position is three kilometers away. Can we cover it?"

"It's a trivial matter"...

The four Fujiwara people were numb when they heard the conversation between a man and a beast.

Is this giant beast Shukaku?

The squad leader’s psychic beast is Ichibi Shukaku?
I saw Shukaku slowly opening his huge mouth, and the huge chakra began to slowly condense.

Soon, a dark tailed beast jade slowly took shape in front of Shukaku, and the next moment, it was swallowed by Shukaku.

After Shukaku swallowed the tailed beast jade, his body seemed to expand instantly, and then he opened his mouth and spit it out.

Huge chakra bombs were instantly sprayed out into the distance.

A moment later, a huge roar came from a distance.

The four Fujiwara people reacted and climbed onto a high bulging rock.

From a distance, I saw a huge mushroom cloud rising from the target location.

The mission...is completed just like that?
"Thank you" Fukawa gently patted Shukaku at his feet, "Go and have fun by yourself, remember not to hurt others easily... If you are bullied, remember to come back to me!"

"Huh? I will be bullied? What a joke!"

Shukaku's eyes were full of disdain, but he also felt a little strange in his heart.

Ever since I can remember, except for the time when I was born and was taken care of as a child by the Immortal of Six Paths.

Since then, every time he comes into contact with humans, he is regarded as an ugly monster and is deeply feared.

Even if it is a blessing, even though they have been together for many years and formed a deep friendship with him, he has never regarded himself as a weak person who needs to be taken care of.

This kid is interesting.

Thinking of this, Shukaku dived down suddenly and disappeared in a moment. "Okay, the chakra reaction in the enemy's stronghold has disappeared...the formation...there should be nothing left." Fuchuan appeared next to the three of them in an instant and said softly, "I'm not very good at cleaning the battlefield, so I'll just rely on you guys next." Already…”

The four Fujiwara people seemed to be falling into the clouds at this moment.

Facing Fuchuan's order, he just turned around and said yes like a walking zombie.

The five people quickly arrived at the designated target location.

The smoke and dust caused by the huge explosion have not completely dissipated.

There are no traces of the stronghold anymore, and the entire land within a one kilometer radius seems to have been severely ground by a huge millstone.

In the center is a huge sinkhole dozens of feet deep.

One can imagine how terrifying the destructive power of that long-range attack was.

The mission that was originally almost impossible to complete alone, under the overwhelming strength, the enemy may not even be able to figure out where the attack came from, and was wiped out by the group.

Fujiwara suddenly felt an uncontrollable feeling of deep awe for the power itself.

He can now fully understand why the aloof acting commander-in-chief Shan Qi attaches so much importance to a new squad leader.

After a brief inspection to confirm that there were no survivors, Fuchuan led his team to return to the original route to recover.

Under the tailed beast jade, everything is powdered.There are no more battlefields to clean up...

For the next month, Fujiwara felt as if he was in a dream.

Team Fukawa has already completed 17 missions, and most of them were surprise attacks, annihilations, and other missions that would have resulted in huge casualties in the past.

Among these seventeen missions, Fujiwara only fought against the enemy once... In one mission, a prisoner was needed to spy on intelligence. The squad leader cut off the hands of an enemy ninja, then stepped forward and easily subdued the enemy who was about to lose consciousness.

During this time, he finally realized deeply that compared to Shukaku, he, the squad leader, was a real monster.

He had seen his squad leader rush into the surroundings of dozens of hostile ninjas and annihilate them all in the blink of an eye...

He has also seen his squad leader summon a huge sandstorm, digging up the enemy's stronghold three feet into the ground and sucking every living enemy into mummies...

He also saw his squad leader summoning a huge blade as big as a mountain to split the traffic artery where the enemy was stationed along with several Jonin in half...

As the reputation of Team Fukawa gradually grew, Fuchuan also had a new name among the combat troops...Desert Death!
In the Konoha camp,
"Desert Death God..." Hatake Sakumo looked at the information in his hand with amusement, "...it's kind of interesting."

"Interesting?" A female ninja with long light yellow hair looked sullen. "In just one month, eight strongholds were removed, and more than fifty middle and upper ninjas were killed... Now the expedition soldiers are panicking. Your reply is Is there something interesting...?"

The person who lost her temper in front of her was Konoha's Tsunade Hime. Although she lost the highest command of the expeditionary force, she still participated in formulating the strategy against the enemy as Konoha White Fang's deputy.

"We have made a plan, and the next step is about to begin." Uchiha Fugaku looked relaxed. "The Desert Death will not be active for a long time..."

"I hope your actions will be effective." Tsunade-hime's face was full of distrust, and then she suddenly remembered something and her color darkened, "Don't ambush others, or you will be killed in the end."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Tsunade's retreating back and said leisurely, "I can feel that she doesn't like me very much."

"Who asked you to hang out with me, an Uchiha, all day long?"

Hatake Sakumo was speechless for a long time. He knew that Tsunade was a direct descendant of the Hokage and the princess of the Senju clan. She had always been unpretentious towards the arrogant Uchiha clan.

Especially recently, there has been a lot of friction between Uchiha and the ANBU of the village. Danzo's roots have become somewhat incompatible with the Uchiha clan.

In fact, the upper echelons of the village knew that without the instructions of the third generation, Danzo's roots alone would not be able to compete with the Uchiha clan on a par.

But Hatake Sakumo still has good intentions towards the Uchiha clan.

Although the previous victory over the Country of Wind basically established the pattern of this Ninja World War, there is no doubt that the current village still needs the power of Uchiha.

To do this, he must also reconcile the relationship between the two.

On the one hand, transferring Uchiha Fugaku to the expeditionary force was an appreciation of the strong, and on the other hand, it also had this consideration.

I hope that after the war is over, the Uchiha clan can use the contribution of this war to eliminate the estrangement between them and the village's senior officials... This is what Hatake Sakumo hopes in his heart.
