Naruto Time Control

Chapter 112: Deadlock

Hiruzen looked at Yeruashi and said, "Anyway, you heard how serious the situation is this time, your power will be very much needed on this side of the battlefield..."

Just as Yeruashi was about to reply, Tsunade, who had been silently standing on the sidelines all this time, suddenly intervened and said, "You can't rely too much on Yeruashi's strength and let him get involved in troublesome battles."

"His forbidden technique can't be used at will, it has serious side effects and even if he could cure them, they would reduce his lifespan."

Hiruzen turned to Tsunade.

It wasn't a surprise to him, but what surprised him was how much Tsunade cared about Yeruashi, it felt as if Tsunade cared about him much more than Orochimaru did

"I understand."

Hiruzen nodded.

Tsunade walked towards the entrance of the tent and looked at Hiruzen with a deep look, "Yeruashi is my student and I won't let you put him in danger."

After leaving these words, she walked out of the store.

Tsunade sensed a hidden meaning and subtext in this brief conversation between Yeruashi and Hiruzen.

She doesn't care about the power struggle in the village, and she won't participate in it, but if someone dares to use Yeruashi as a tool, she won't be left out!

Yeruashi is his disciple!

With these words, he showed his position and also warned Hiruzen that he would not tolerate a repeat of what happened to Sakumo.

Hiruzen certainly understood the meaning of Tsunade's words, if he dared to treat Yeruashi as a pawn and a tool, she would definitely intervene. josei

This couldn't help but cause her headache, why was Yeruashi lucky enough to become Tsunade's disciple? Although she doesn't care about power, at the same time, she is extremely difficult to deal with.

No disturbances should be allowed during this critical period.

"You can leave now."

Looking at Tsunade who was leaving, Hiruzen frowned slightly and waved his hand.

Yeruashi silently stood up and left.

Hiruzen sighed and looked up, his gaze seemed to penetrate the roof of the tent, seeing the cloudy sky.

As Hokage, he is obliged to pay close attention to every strong ninja who can become a pillar of Konoha, so it is necessary to understand Yeruashi's thoughts and attitude.

The current Yeruashi is too different from the past, he stopped being just a young ninja genius and gained a certain status, even considering his young age, he can't be treated like before.

But now is not the time to worry about that.

How to deal with the war was the most crucial issue right now, everything else should be put aside for now, and his test towards Yeruashi was just that, a test.

Even without Tsunade's intervention, he wouldn't have been able to do anything during such a stressful period.

....

After leaving the central tent, Yeruashi made his way to his tent.

It was located on the south side of the camp, apparently this should allow him to respond immediately to possible unforeseen situations on the south side of the camp.

Tsunade's tent was located in the northern part of the camp.

After settling into his tent, Yeruashi began his training, but he did not stay in the tent, but left the camp alone to train in the gorge south of the camp.

Due to Tsunade's words, Hiruzen did not dare to treat Yeruashi as a regular combat unit, and besides, both sides were mainly engaged in their intelligence battle.

The intelligence departments of both villages were trying to gather as much information as possible about the enemy.

Half a month later.

Kumogakure and Konoha determined the combat power and location of the enemy forces.

The Kumogakure side learned that the Konoha forces were commanded by Hiruzen himself, and that Tsunade, one of the Sannin, and the Silver Flash, who had recently killed Chiyo, were in camp.

In turn, Konoha confirmed that the Kumogakure forces are personally led by the Third Raikage, and that there are two more powerful combat units in their ranks, namely the Raikage's son, A, and the Jinchuriki of the eight-tailed, Killer Bi.

As time goes by.

The Kumogakure side began to become active, waging successive small-scale battles in an attempt to harm Konoha.

After the balance of power became clear, A and Killer B began to become much more active, defeating several of Konoha's elite units.

But Konoha did not stand idly by either, Hiruzen led a small squad and carried out several attacks, killing elite ninja from Kumogakure, once even engaging against A and Killer B and single-handedly suppressing them!

After learning this, Yeruashi couldn't help but admire Hiruzen's strength, in the anime he was far from the peak of his strength, but now he is really was a terrifying ninja who is at the top of the Kage level, even the future Fourth Raikage and the perfect Jinchuriki, Killer B, couldn't stand up to him.

As expected, there was a stalemate.

...

Kumogakure front camp.

The third Raikage was sitting in the central tent, leaning his elbows on the table and deep in thought, his son and heir A, was standing next to him, he soon voiced his thoughts, "... we do not benefit from a prolonged war, father."

"Although Konoha's forces are spread out on three fronts at once, but their resources are much richer than ours, if this continues, after a while we will be forced to withdraw our troops."

In times of war, ninja cannot take on missions to feed themselves, nearly seven thousand ninja consume a large amount of resources every day.

Konoha was the winner of the Second Ninja World War, and now it is difficult to accurately predict how great their current resources are, if the war drags on, perhaps even the three Great Ninja Villages will be at a disadvantage.

"What do you suggest?"

The Third Raikage glared at his son.

A stepped forward and raised his fist, "Attack! With this power alone, Konoha will not be able to resist!"

"I also think it's right what big brother said."

Killer B raised his hands and said with a very strange intonation.

The third Raikage pondered and said, "I can take on the Third Hokage, although the specific combat power of the Silver Flash is still unclear, but in general, we are superior to Konoha."

"You can leave the Silver Flash and Tsunade to us, they won't be opponents of the stronger duo!"

A folded his arms and said proudly, exuding absolute confidence in his duo's strength.

Although he and Killer B were previously restrained by the Third Hokage, they were finally able to secure the evacuation of their subordinates and retreat without too serious injuries.

Even the illustrious Third Hokage couldn't deal with them completely! How could a kid nicknamed the Silver Flash defeat them? This kid only has good speed, no more!

A has absolute confidence in his speed!

The third Raikage was lost in thought.

He is confident in his son's strength and there is no questioning the extent of A and Killer B's relationship, it should be enough to deal with the Silver Glint and Tsunade, but if they launch a full scale frontal attack, even if they win, they will suffer losses.

This is not a confrontation between Konoha and Kumogakure, but a confrontation between Konoha and the three Great Ninja Villages.

As the Third Raikage pondered this, a light shone in the eyes of Dodai, who was standing nearby, "Lord Raikage, I have a plan..."

"Speak up."

The third Raikage looked at him.

Dodai is one of his most trusted subordinates, he is a very good tactician and quite strong, being a user of the Kekkei Genkai Yoton. (Yoton= Fusion Release).

"I propose such a plan of action..."

Dodai outlined his plan and everyone in the room listened attentively.

After hearing Dodai's plan, the Raikage looked at his son and Killer B, saying "A, B, what do you think of this?"

A nodded and said "Great plan, I have no objection."

Killer B said with a ridiculous intonation, swaying to the beat, "Senior Dodai is as smart as ever, Konoha is already doomed."

The third Raikage nodded and said, "Then we will act according to Dodai's plan."

Dodai said decisively, "If all goes well, we can completely crush Konoha!"
