Chapter 6 Secret Party

After a night of intense fighting, Ye Shan gradually couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he dreamed that he became the leader of a certain Konoha organization, and with a single call, tens of thousands of ninjas sacrificed their lives for him, conquered various countries, and became the only ruler of the world...

Ye Shan woke up and stared at the top of the tent with lifeless eyes, and a thousand horses galloped through his mind. He was 40 years old in his past and present lives, but he still fantasized in his dreams. Sure enough, the second-year spirit never goes out of style?

Shaking his head to kick out the chaotic thoughts, Ye Shan walked out and found that it was getting dark and it was already evening. Before he could think of what to do, his stomach growled and reminded him that he hadn't eaten for more than ten hours. Thinking of this, Ye Shan slowly walked towards the cafeteria, intending to eat some hot food and reward himself. But he didn't walk a few steps before he met his teammate Yamashiro Tatsu.

"Captain, I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping soundly. Let's have some food together. I brought a double portion." Shancheng Chen raised the food in his hand towards Ye Shan.

Ye Shan nodded and said, "Well, eat inside."

It has to be said that even on the front line battlefield, the standard meals still taste bad. Looking at the crudely made food in front of him, Ye Shan missed hot pot, because hot pot is more suitable for rainy days.

After slowly finishing the food in front of him, Ye Shan wiped his mouth, put the food plate next to Chen's hand, then took out a scroll and began to read it under the dim light.

Chen quickly glanced at the content and was surprised to find that it was the introductory course "The Magical Use of Chakra" taught by the Ninja School. He couldn't help but ask: "Captain, is this book interesting?"

Ye Shan looked up and glanced at him and said, "You want to ask if this book is useful?"

Chen touched his head awkwardly. It was convenient to deal with smart people.

Ye Shan became interested and pointed to a place and said, "Look here, 'After compressing and purifying the chakra, the power of the escape technique can be increased by 10%', it's very interesting."

"But Captain, isn't the chakra gathered in the abdomen and only mobilized when used? How can it be compressed and purified?"

"do not know."

Chen was speechless for a moment and had no words to say.

After a while, Ye Shan continued, "Although chakra cannot be easily mobilized in the body, the amount required to release ninjutsu of the same power by a jonin or a genin is different."

After thinking carefully with his right hand supporting his chin, Chen said: "Is it because the jonin is proficient in ninjutsu? Or is it caused by the change in the nature of chakra?"

"Neither. I think it's the purity of the chakra. Proficiency only increases the speed of casting, while the change in nature increases the power of the technique?"

"Mutation power?" Chen asked puzzledly when he heard this term for the first time.

"Yes. For example, the change in the nature of wind chakra is to increase the cutting force; the change in the nature of fire chakra is to increase the temperature of the technique; the change in the nature of lightning chakra is to increase the piercing force; and the change in the nature of water chakra is to increase the pressure."

"What about the earth attribute?"

Ye Shan gave Chen a strange look and did not answer.

After coming to his senses, Yamashiro Chen's face turned slightly red. Having dealt with the ninjas in the Iwagakure who wished they could grow in the ground for many years, he already knew the answer: hardness.

After thinking anxiously for a while, Chen still had no idea how to purify the chakra, so he simply gave up thinking about it, picked up the food plate and walked out.

.........

The rain was still falling, and in the second half of the night, a strong wind blew, making the oilcloth tent rustle. Ye Shan slowly opened his eyes in the darkness, but did not move. He carefully felt the breathing rhythm of his teammate Shan Chengchen, and after confirming that the other party was still asleep, he stood up gently, quietly left the tent, and disappeared into the rainy night.

To the northeast of Konoha's camp was where the bodies were piled. In order to prevent water pollution, this place was ten kilometers away from the camp.

A stream flowed eastward amid the noise of rain, and two Konoha ninjas were 'releasing the water'.

"It's really a blessing to be assigned to the corpse disposal department. I don't have to go to the front line and I can get a lot of merit points. Have you heard that a big change happened in the camp these two days?" A ninja in his twenties showed off mysteriously the information he had heard.

"Oh? What happened? Could it be that the Iwa Ninja is attacking us?" the supporting actor asked professionally.

"Tsk, those stone ghosts don't have that kind of strength." After sneering, the ninja said, "According to a distant relative of my seventh aunt's, nearly twenty elite soldiers were wiped out."

"How is that possible? It must be fake news. I have been on duty for several consecutive days. You can't hide such a large number of corpses from my eyes."

"You know nothing." After a disdainful spit, the ninja said, "The bodies of those family ninjas are not piled up here. They are sealed in scrolls and brought back to the village. After all, there are people behind them!"

After shaking for a few times, the two turned around and walked towards the stronghold. The sound of arguing could still be vaguely heard.

Ye Shan was hiding in the stream at this time. When he saw the two people walking away, he came to the shore. In the darkness, his face was not very good. After cursing a few times, he also left.

In a forest, several figures hidden in the darkness stood still like rocks, as if waiting for something, and Ye Shan was one of them.

Not long after, a ninja with a determined look landed on a rock and made a few gestures, and everyone gathered together.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a flash of lightning tore through the sky, briefly illuminating the group of ninjas who had gathered in the middle of the night.

This group of people all wore Konoha's standard vests. They were of different heights, weights and bodies. The only thing in common was that each of their faces was filled with indifference and determination.

The last ninja to arrive took a quick look, counted the number of people and said, "Eleven, two less than last time."

His voice was extremely hoarse, as if his throat was damaged, making it very uncomfortable to hear. But everyone was used to it. After a moment of silence, a tall and thin ninja slowly said: "The Iwagakure's offensive is getting more intense, and there is nothing we can do about the loss of manpower. Let's discuss today's topic."

"Well, without further ado, today's routine meeting has two purposes. First, to exchange ninjutsu as usual; second, to remind everyone to be more careful in the near future, as the Sand Ninja may join the battle!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but start talking. For a moment, the silent woods were filled with noise.

The tall and thin ninja frowned and shouted, "Silence, this is a secret meeting, if you have any questions, ask them in order!"

Silence returned to the field. Ye Shan slowly raised his right hand and asked after the tall and thin ninja nodded, "Does Lord Ogata know the specific time, scale, and location?"

The tall and thin ninja, Tsuchitaka Ogata, showed a hint of appreciation on his face and said, "I don't know!"

Ye Shan: “…”

After hesitating for a while, Tokugawa Okata explained: "The source of the news is a spy from the Sand Village. He found that the Sand Village was manufacturing oilcloth tents and raincoats in large quantities, so there was this news."

When everyone heard this, their hearts gradually sank to the bottom. Everyone knew that 70% of the Wind Country was desert, and there was no rain all year round. The purpose of hoarding strategic waterproofing materials was obvious.

Now, nearly 10,000 ninjas from the Iwagakure and Konoha villages have gathered in the small Rain Country. If the Sand Village gets involved, the situation will only become more and more chaotic, and it is very likely to turn into an unorganized fight between teams. In this case, the probability of survival will be greatly reduced!

Seeing everyone in such a low mood, Tsuchiya Ogata's thin face was unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, the last ninja to arrive said in a hoarse voice: "Well, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God. Everyone should go back and practice more. Thinking is useless!"

........

Ye Shan quietly returned to the tent with mixed feelings. There was no doubt that once the Sand Ninja joined the war, only civilian ninjas like him would be on the front line. Even worse, if Konoha was defeated and the team could not fight as a whole, then the Rain Country would become a slaughterhouse for Konoha ninjas! But he had no way to deal with this, and could only hope that the commander could find a chance to win in this chaotic situation.

However, this gathering was not without gain. In Ye Shan's ninja tool bag, there lay a scroll with extremely fine workmanship. This was a ninjutsu scroll, and it was the secret technique he had long coveted - the hardening technique! Thinking of this, Ye Shan deeply felt the wisdom of joining this organization.

When Hayama was still a Genin, Tsuchiya Okata took the initiative to find him and invited him to join the organization. The founder of this organization was the ninja with a hoarse voice. According to Hayama's speculation, he was most likely a member of the Anbu, and his position was not low. As for Tsuchiya Okata, he was a legend among civilian ninjas. Born a civilian, he was promoted to Chunin just one year after graduation. With his superb swordsmanship and the invisible earth escape technique, he killed hundreds of elite ninjas from the enemy country, and finally he was promoted to Jonin with the head of a long-famous Iwagakure! A true powerful ninja.

This organization does not have a specific name. Ye Shan calls it the Civilian Ninja Alliance. The original intention of its establishment is very simple, to break the inherent ninjutsu inheritance system of Konoha Ninja Village. Every once in a while, the organization will have a secret meeting, at which they will share information with each other, exchange training experiences, and most importantly, exchange ninjutsu!

It is worth mentioning that the number of participants in this organization has become less and less, and many ninjas that Ye Shan knew have died in battle. Moreover, the exchange of ninjutsu is not limited to exchanging ninjutsu for ninjutsu, but can also be exchanged by completing tasks issued by the other party. For example, this time, Ye Shan promised Ogata to complete a task and obtained a secret earth escape technique, but the content of the task is not yet known.

With Ye Shan's steadiness, he would never do such a risky thing, but there was no other way, this technique was very important to him. With this ninjutsu, Ye Shan didn't need to practice other ninjutsu, he just needed to practice it to a high level, and he would have no problem protecting himself. Thinking of this, Ye Shan, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but get excited, and couldn't wait to start practicing now.

Suppressing the churning thoughts in his heart, Ye Shan forced himself to fall asleep.

On the last day of June in the thirty-eighth year of Konoha, the fourteen-year-old Baiyun Yeshan was still an insignificant Chunin. He had neither a well-known surname nor a powerful master. He only had the desire to survive and a calm personality. But the wheel of fate would not stop, but would only roar forward, leaving behind those who had not sat firmly.

The rain has been falling and never stopped.
