Chapter 2: Chakra, the All-Powerful One

After completing the formalities without any danger, Ye Shan left the office under the strange eyes of a group of civilian ninjas. Ye Shan was also helpless about this. He wanted to fight with his teammates as a junior ninja, but what he got in return was contempt. There was no way, he stopped pretending and showed his cards. I am a Chunin, a high-level cannon fodder.

Ye Shan was very tired after a day of running around, but he still came to the training ground and prepared to start his daily training. In this chakra world full of masters, even if he was a Chunin, he still couldn't gain a foothold.

After a little warm-up, Ye Shan began physical training. Unlike the earth-shattering ninjutsu in the original work, the ninjas at this stage still rely on superb taijutsu on the battlefield. In a word, proficient in taijutsu does not necessarily mean you are a jonin, but a jonin must be proficient in taijutsu.

Two hours later, Ye Shan, who had sensed his limit, slowly stopped running. Without the blessing of chakra, his physical fitness was not outstanding among ninjas of the same age. Those who were given by a series of brilliant surnames were not only the secrets that civilian ninjas could not touch, but also the gap in raw physical fitness. This was the sadness of civilian ninjas. Even if they practiced with all their might and used the time others spent drinking coffee to practice, they still could not surpass the confinement of blood.

However, chakra is fair. It gives every ninja who possesses it unlimited possibilities and becomes the best ninja weapon. Ninjas create chakra by combining physical energy and spiritual energy in their bodies. Physical energy comes from tens of thousands of cells that make up the human body, while spiritual energy is obtained through their own experience and training. The more resolute a ninja's mind is, the more spiritual energy he has. Thanks to his mature soul, Baiyun Yeshan's chakra volume far exceeds that of other ninjas of the same period, which is roughly equal to 1 card.

"Earth Escape: Earth Spear"

Three sharp earth spears suddenly shot out from the flat ground and stabbed into the air in a V-shape. This was not over yet. Ye Shan changed the seal in his hand and released the next ninjutsu.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique"

A large amount of fire-attribute chakra gathered in the chest cavity following the guidance of the seal, and gushed out along Yamaye's throat and mouth. After encountering the air, it instantly turned into a huge fireball and flew towards the sky above the earth gun.

'boom'

The scorching heat after the fireball exploded made Ye Shan squint his eyes, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his ordinary face. A ninja as steady as him certainly couldn't report all his chakra attributes truthfully. It's always better to be steady in everything. As for whether the village will pursue it, it's a safe bet. After all, who doesn't have a secret?

This combination of ninjutsu is not as simple as it seems. It not only tests the timing of the caster, but also requires the caster to have an extremely fast seal speed. Both are indispensable. With the hand speed of being single for many years in his previous life, Ye Shan said that he could not arrogantly say that it was a small matter, but just a medium matter. These are the only two offensive ninjutsu that Ye Shan has mastered so far. With this combination, the grass on the graves of those enemy ninjas who are not vigilant is more than one meter high.

Next, Yeshan carried out a series of practical simulations on this set of ninjutsu to ensure that he could kill the enemy once he gained the initiative in the battle.

Before he knew it, the scorching sun had set, Baiyun Yeshan was exhausted, and his chakra was empty, so he returned to the hospital.

...........

The rest time was soon over, and it was time for Baiyun Yeshan to return to the battlefield. This was the fate of civilian ninjas, traveling back and forth between the village and the battlefield again and again until they were killed in battle or became disabled.

Konoha Ninja Village, East Gate Entrance and Exit Management Office, Ye Shan is wearing a Konoha forehead guard, a green combat vest, two light-colored armor made of light steel plates, two bulging ninja tool bags on his waist, and two rectangular shuriken bags tied to his right thigh. He is dressed in a plain way. This outfit would cost at least 8,000 yuan in Konoha. At this time, the sun has not yet risen, and there is still thick moisture in the air, which adds a touch of coolness to the hot summer and adds a lot of haze to the ninjas going out.

At six o'clock, the gate opened, and with the word "departure", this group of ninjas rushed to the Rain Country, where there would be an even more brutal battlefield.

.........

"Order!"

"Baiyun Yeshan, Shancheng Chen, and Yamanaka Yuura, go to Area C, Site 33 to perform patrol mission, Level A, if you find any intruders, report them immediately!"

"As ordered!"

The Ye Shan team that accepted the mission walked out of the temporary command center. Only after they walked away did Shan Chengchen speak: "Captain, there is something fishy about this mission."

Baiyun Yeshan nodded gently and said, "There is something fishy going on. The patrol missions are all B-level, but this time it is A-level. When they found the enemy, they did not annihilate them but reported them. This means that the enemy is very strong, most likely a Chunin or above."

At this point, Ye Shan paused, turned around and asked, "How many detonating talismans were sent?"

Shancheng Chen's face turned bitter and he said, "Only five!"

Hearing this, Ye Shan fell silent. The war had been going on for two years, and even the wealthy Konoha could no longer sustain it. You know, at the beginning, each person was only allowed five cards!

Shaking off the rain on his head, Ye Shan looked up at the sky. The gray clouds were layered over each other, completely covering the sun. The rain was pouring down without stopping, casting a shadow on his heart.

This damn war, this disgusting rain!

After leaving the camp, the three of them put on the hoods of their black raincoats at the same time, and blended silently into the forest like three bats foraging for food.

Site 33 is a low-lying area. The water here is more than one meter deep due to the rain all year round, which has caused great inconvenience to Ye Shan and the other two. They can only eat and live on tree trunks and branches, and constantly condense chakra on the soles of their feet to ensure that they will not fall. Although the amount of chakra released is negligible, the long-term mental tension has made them exhausted.

As night fell, the entire site 33 was pitch black, with only the sound of rain. Ye Shan was hiding on a tree trunk with lush branches and leaves. The chakra on his feet allowed him to squat vertically without falling. Although he had been in this world for fourteen years, Ye Shan still felt that chakra was omnipotent, just like rubbing Newton's coffin on the ground.

A slight sound of breaking air reached his ears, but Ye Shan remained unmoved. Sure enough, a moment later, it was Shancheng Chen who came to take over the shift.

"Captain, it's time for a shift change."

"Well, keep an eye on it. Three to six in the morning is when people are most tired, and it's also a good time to invade."

Yamashiro Tatsu didn't answer, but took out a soldier's grain pill and put it in his mouth, then said: "Captain, should civilian ninjas die?"

Ye Shan was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"With the captain's steadiness, he should have discovered the clues long ago, right? Not to mention those far away, just look at the ninjas lurking in this area. How many of them are not civilian ninjas?"

Ye Shan was silent. With his cautiousness, he had indeed discovered this a long time ago, as early as in the Ninja School. It was just that at that time, the distribution of resources was uneven. The teachers who led the graduating ninjas of the family were all well-known Jonin, while the teachers who led the civilian ninjas were all unknown people. Ye Shan was unlucky. The cheap teacher was just a Chunin, and he died in battle without even teaching the most basic traps. Ye Shan relied on his own steadiness to survive step by step to this day, while his civilian teammates have been replaced for more than a dozen times! On the battlefield, this injustice is even more obvious. Civilian ninjas often carry out the most dangerous tasks, with a survival rate of less than one-third, while the family ninjas not only have the protection of the Jonin, but also carry out tasks that are not painful or itchy and less dangerous. He had discovered this a long time ago!

But what can we do? The Ninja Code clearly states in black and white: Those who disobey orders in battle will die!!!

The rule of any class will protect its own interests. Konoha Village is not a ninja village for civilian ninjas, but a ninja village for ninja clans of all sizes! In order to protect the interests of the ninja clans, of course the interests of civilian ninjas must be sacrificed, and behind this are the blood and tears of countless civilian ninjas!

Perhaps, he could be considered a 'companion' only when he became a jonin someday.

For a moment, there was silence except for the sound of raindrops hitting the tree trunks.

Ye Shan pursed his lips, stood up silently, patted Chen's shoulder, and said softly: "Live."

After saying that, he left. Looking back, there was only darkness.

Back to the temporary resting point, it was a thick hollowed-out tree trunk covered with bark. Unless you go close to check, there were no flaws. This was the best resting place for rainforest combat.

Entering the tree trunk, Ye Shan took off his raincoat, took out a piece of dry food from the left ninja bag, and ate it slowly. This is the standard dry food of the Konoha Ninja Village. The ingredients are mainly flour and salt, similar to the compressed biscuits in the previous life, but the taste is incomparable. Because of the rough workmanship and uneven distribution of salt, most of the taste is very light, and some are very salty. After eating, Ye Shan drank another pot of water, and when he was 70% full, he was ready to rest.

As for the rainwater on his body, although it can be evaporated with the omnipotent chakra, this is a battlefield. The more chakra, the more hope of survival. Ye Shan will not do such a stupid thing to waste chakra.

He closed his eyes. The habit of falling asleep quickly that he had developed over many years of ninja career failed to work tonight. Yamashiro Tatsu's words kept lingering in his ears, like a spell that could not be dispelled. When he received the mission that day, he noticed that among the nearly 50 teams, there was not a single Byakugan! This was a patrol mission, no, it should be a front-line combat mission. If there was a pair of Byakugan, no matter if it was a trap or a ninja, as long as it was an object with chakra, it would be exposed. But, there was no Byakugan. Not only that, there were not many perceptive ninjas! Huh, patrol mission? Patrol with hundreds of ninjas without perceptive means? That's not what ninja schools teach.

Small teams, like the lines on a fishing net, weave a fishing net in this large area, waiting for the fish to hit it and then reel it in. Are the ninjas of Konoha Village all companions, not tools? Are they like a family under the light of the Will of Fire? How ridiculous! Why doesn't the Hokage's son come to make the fishing net? Why don't Uchiha, Hyuga, and Shimura come to make the fishing net?

After the fish are dead and the nets are broken, the Konoha Ninja Village will never lose out, because the dead fish are very big, and there are still many fishing nets in the village!

Sure enough, in this cold world, all you can trust is the almighty chakra.
