Chapter 147 One Year

Before you know it, a year has passed.

For a year, Kakumu did not return to the village to rest, but spent his youth on this battlefield.

In the Grass Country camp, Kadomu spent his 11th birthday.

Kakugi is now over half of his 11th year old.

On his birthday, Kakumu received letters of blessing from his parents and a letter from Anko’s psychic snake.

Dad has formed a new team and is leading the students on tasks. Judging from the current battle situation on the front line, it may be that the time to go to the battlefield is not far away.

It's just that my father's words seemed to be dissatisfied with this new team, and he expressed a headache.

Kakugi was a little curious, what kind of team members could give his experienced father, who has been coaching jounin for many years, constant headaches.

Next time you see Dad and his students, you must take a good look.

Because the village's combat power was very tight, under the persuasion of colleagues and superiors, my mother returned to the barrier class again and was responsible for the village's defensive barrier.

The good thing is that you don't have to follow him to the battlefield, you can still take care of little Iruka in the village.

Iruka is also over 8 years old, and he wants to go to the front line to kill the enemy every day. However, Iruka's strength and talent are just like that, and his parents keep him at home.

Anko said in the letter that she was now doing some interesting experimental research with Orochimaru, and her excitement and excitement could be seen between the lines.

Maybe Anko felt that this would bring her closer to the teacher Orochimaru whom she admired.

But in the original work, when Anko was completely close to her teacher, she still resisted instinctively.

Also, Kadakugi's cheap master, the Third Hokage, also sent a letter.

It may not be appropriate to say a letter, but it may be more appropriate to call it a package.

When Kazuoki faced off against Iwa Ninja, he used an incomplete five-escape combo.

Feeling this, the Third Hokage wrote a special research note on the chakra changes of Kadokaki Thunder Style and Earth Style in view of the shortcomings of the two styles.

With the help of this note, Kazuoki completed the mastery of Earth Release chakra changes. Currently, the only chakra attribute changes that have not yet been mastered are the Thunder Release.

There are also ninjutsu scrolls of various attributes of chakra. Each of the three generations selected a few representative ones and handed them to Kakugi.

Sandai also wrote a personal letter, mentioning that if you encounter any problems in practice, you can consult him in time.

Although the two masters and apprentices are worlds apart, the three generations are still working hard to fulfill the duties of a master.

Although the Third Generation was quite controversial, and he could not escape responsibility for many of Konoha's bad things, at this time, he still moved Kakugi.

During this year, in addition to continuing to improve in practice, Kakumu was also performing frontline clearance tasks.

Over the course of a year, Kakugi dealt with dozens of Iwagakure teams that had infiltrated, including several Jonin.

Inuzuka Juchi's record is roughly the same as Tsunoki's.

Subsequent support from the villages gradually arrived, the pressure on the front line gradually eased, and more ninjas were sent to clear the area.

Tsunoki Lin's rest time has also increased, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As the settlement intensity increased, the scattered nails buried by Iwagakure were also removed. Slowly, Iwagakure also changed his strategy.

They no longer send small groups in randomly to die, but instead use elite jounin as the main ones to sneak in and destroy them. If they fail to succeed in one attack, they will immediately leave.

Kakugi once encountered a Iwagakure Jonin who infiltrated alone. If it weren't for the Byakugan in the team, he would have been almost undetectable.

After being discovered, after a brief fight, the Iwagakure jounin immediately used secret techniques and escaped without any delay, and Kadakuki could only look back and sigh.

Kakugi remembered the name of this Iwagakure Jonin, Oishi, and the secret technique of Camouflage Hidden Technique he used was comparable to Moonlight Hayate's Translucent Escape.

If I remember correctly, he was the Iwa nin who captured Lin in the original work.

On the other side, after the village's backup arrived one after another, Namikaze Minato went to Kusagakure Village in person.

As the commander of Konoha in the Country of Grass, Minato, on behalf of Konoha, had a cordial and friendly conversation with the leader of Kusakure Village and exchanged valuable opinions with each other.

Anyway, not long after Minato returned, a thousand Kusanagi came to the camp.

Most of them were dispersed and assigned to frontline defense areas, logistics and other places. A few elites formed independent teams to perform tasks.

With the support of the village in place, the recovery of the wounded, and the addition of grass ninjas, the size of the ninja army in the camp expanded to as many as 5,000.

After the last battle between Iwagakure and Konoha, Iwagakure's remaining troops were probably around six thousand.

If Iwagakure does not continue to increase troops, then the military strength of Konoha and Iwagakure will probably be at the same level.

The front line of the Country of Grass has passed the most difficult stage.

The battle with the opposite Iwagakure reached a stalemate again.

In addition, the Konoha Ninja Army on the front line of Kawanoguni also reached the pre-war level of five thousand Ninja Army after the recovery of the wounded and the support of the village.

Kazuoki secretly calculated that the village was basically doing its best now.

There are only about ten thousand ninjas in the village. Not counting the vassal grass ninjas, there are already 9,000 people left on the front line.

The remaining ninjas must not move anymore. After all, the village still maintains basic operations.

The closer the war is, the more important it is to ensure the acceptance and completion of tasks and to give confidence to those who entrust them.

Konoha's ability to start a war with two major ninja villages at the same time, with fewer enemies and more enemies, not only requires a higher level of ninjas, but also requires strong financial support.

However, Kakugi also heard that the village is now even more "reinforcing" the students of the Ninja School.

Enter school at the age of 5 and graduate at the age of 10. And once you apply for early graduation, your application will be approved in seconds.

In addition, the village is also recruiting wandering ninjas, promising them ninjutsu and money, entrusting them with tasks and letting them serve as cannon fodder.

I heard that Iwagakure had been doing this for a long time.

Although Kakugi knew that Konoha won the Third Ninja War in the original work, he couldn't let go when he thought that Kirigakure and Kumogakure would also join the battlefield later.

On this day, Xiumu Kakugi had just finished his daily sparring with Kakashi and copied the experience of White Fang Swordsmanship when he saw someone walking quickly.

The person coming looked familiar. It was Natsuki who "went to heaven" with Kakumu that day.

"Kakugi-sama, Minato-sama invites you."

Natsuki spoke respectfully.

"Ok."

Kakugi wiped off the sweat after exercising, exchanged a few words with his teammates, and then followed Natsuki to the command post.

Minato was the only one in the command post, obviously waiting for him.

"Lord Minato, what are your orders?"

"Here you go, Kakugi. I've really worked hard for you during this period. Let's sit down and talk." Minato said with a smile, pointing to a chair next to the table.

Kadomu sat down politely and saw a map on his desk.

Minato said straight to the point: "This time I will give you a special task. The settlement task you are currently performing is temporarily over."

Kadomu nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to pull the chair closer so that he could see the map on the table clearly.

There must be something going on with Minato, and the new mission must be related to the map.

Minato clicked on the map with his finger and said, "This mission is to find Tsunade, a ninja who left Konoha and traveled abroad."

"These are the towns where traces of Tsunade were found in the intelligence. You need to bring your team to complete this mission."
