MTL - Ninja School Teacher, I Can Become Stronger By Teaching-Chapter 424 Seven Ninja Swordsmen
Chapter 424: The Seven Ninja Swordsmen
Although she was on the battlefield, Mu Yue's life became a little easier.
Because he does not have to take care of the ninja school and disciples here, and Orochimaru has not arranged any combat missions for him for the time being.
Not only Muyue, but also Orochimaru himself, many jounin who have recently supported him have not been assigned combat missions.
There is no doubt that Orochimaru wanted to give Kirigakure a hard blow and catch Kirigakure off guard.
In order to pretend to be more reasonable, Orochimaru only restricted most of the jounin, but did not restrict a small number of jonin and all middle genin.
After all, Kirigakure has invaded the Fire Country itself, and it would be unreasonable for Konoha not to increase its troops.
Orochimaru created an illusion for Kirigakure. Konoha wanted to enhance Kirigakure's battlefield power, but the power it could mobilize was limited due to other battlefields.
In order to arouse Kirigakure's desire to launch a large-scale attack, Orochimaru even took the initiative to expose information about the troop's location step by step to lure Kirigakure.
I have to say that Orochimaru's plan was very good. In the eyes of many Kirigakure ninjas, the Konoha ninja troops fighting them were just paper tigers that looked strong.
If the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki secretly comes to the east coast, then Kirigakure's power may not necessarily have an advantage.
The destructive power of the jinchuriki is so terrifying that not to mention the ninjas below the jounin level, even the ordinary jounin can hardly play a role in the battle against the jinchuriki.
If Konoha really still has the strength to deal with Kirigakure, then does it need to call Orochimaru from another battlefield? Send a large number of chuunin genin to perform tasks on the battlefield.
Goju Yagura showed a thinking look. Of course he also knew the information that Minazuki Han knew. Recently, it was indeed obvious that there were more ninjas in Konoha, but they were basically middle and genin, and there were some jounin, but there were very few.
Gotachibana Yagura is confident that he can deal with Orochimaru, but he doesn't think Minazuki Han and Kito Zangetsu can deal with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, not to mention that the opponent also has the current Inorika Butterfly.
"We are the only ninja village that has invaded the Fire Country itself. It is not surprising that Konoha uses any means to deal with us."
"I can understand that you want to make great achievements, but we don't need to be too anxious. The one who is anxious now should be Konoha." Gouju Yagura said, breaking the silence.
"I don't think so. According to the intelligence we have collected these days, although Konoha has sent reinforcements, their overall strength is still inferior to ours, Kirigakure. It is impossible for them to hope for a large-scale head-on collision with us." Minazuki Han said made his own guess.
That’s right, it’s a paper tiger.
Although on the surface it is still the strongest ninja village and has won many battles on multiple fronts, it has shown signs of decline in actual battles. There are many ninjas coming out but the quality is low.
He just looks like a young man. He has long passed that reckless age. A reliable adult will not take risks easily.
The other Kirigakure ninjas looked at each other for a while, but no one said anything.
"Yakura-sama, some intelligence officers have discovered information about Konoha's new ninja camp. I think this is a good opportunity to eliminate Konoha's active forces." Minazukihan said at the Kirigakure combat meeting.
Mizuki Han was speechless for a moment. Even though he was the current leader of the Snow Clan, he didn't have the confidence to say that he could deal with the Jinchuuriki.
“I don’t want you to think, what I need is the truth.” Goji Yagura shook his head and said.
"I discovered the information about the new camp so quickly. Can I be sure of the accuracy of the information? This may be a conspiracy of the Konoha ninjas." Goji Yagura asked calmly without any change in his expression.
But Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not appeared on any battlefield so far, and Gouju Yagura is very worried about this.
Even though Gotachibana Yagura may not look big, he is a real veteran Kirigakure ninja. Even Minazuki Han, one of the main members of the Kirigakure army, has to use honorifics to Gotachibana Yagura honestly.
According to common sense, this is a manifestation of the lack of strength of a ninja village.
“If the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is in the Konoha camp, how should we deal with it?” Gouju Yagura looked at the Kirigakure and asked calmly.
Tailed beasts are the ultimate weapons of the five great nations, not to mention the nine-tailed beasts are the best among them.
He did not blame Minazuki Han. After all, not every ninja is good at thinking, and some ninjas are only suitable for combat.
Kirigakure really doesn’t need to be too anxious, because Kirigakure doesn’t have three enemies from the Great Ninja Village like Konoha. Kirigakure is currently only at war with Konoha.
Currently, the only person in the ninja world who has the same treatment as Konoha is Kumogakure. Kumogakure also has a war relationship with the three great ninja villages, namely Konoha, Sunagakure and Iwagakure.
However, unlike Konoha, Kumogakure is more active in starting wars and causing trouble, while Konoha is passive in accepting it.
“Are you not going to do anything?” Shui Wuyuehan was a little unwilling.
This time, luck was good to get information. If the problem of wood leaf found the problem transferred to other places, it would not be so easy to discover.
"You are too extreme. War is not just a total war and an armistice. We can test it first." Goji Yagura said with his arms crossed.
From Goju Yagura's point of view, Minazuki Han was a little diode. He just said that he directly sent a large number of ninja troops to besiege, but he did nothing.
After making the exploratory arrangement, Goju Yagura dissolved the meeting, and then sent his cronies to summon the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Originally, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were directly subordinate to the Mizukage. In theory, only the Mizukage could give orders to them.
But during the war, special things were done, and the Third Mizukage specially gave Goju Yagura the right to command the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
"Go and destroy the logistical support of the Konoha ninjas. Most of the Konoha ninjas who have been active recently are Chuunin and Genin. It's very simple for you." Goji Yagura marked the location on the map for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to see. Take a look.
Kirigakure is famous in the ninja world for its assassination capabilities. As assassins, they also have very good intelligence capabilities and will not lose to the Konoha ninjas in this aspect.
The purpose of Goju Yagura is very simple, that is to carry out a high-efficiency massacre of Konoha's middle and low-level forces, in order to test whether Konoha really does not have enough power, or is just pretending to be a paper tiger.
He has wanted to do this for a long time, but the Konoha ninjas were very cautious before and there were not so many teams going out together.
"Tsk, are you a chuunin genin? They are specifically tasked with bullying the weak." Juzo Juzo, who was carrying a beheading sword, showed a disdainful smile.
Loquat Juuzang can casually kill ten genin by himself, and Goju Yagura actually let seven of them go hunting for such a ninja team. Loquat Juuzang can't think of any other description other than bullying the weak.
“It’s true that you are bullying the weak, but you can only carry out the task, right?” Black Hoe Leiya looked at Loquat Juuzang and said calmly.
The other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, such as Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, Kurisu Kushimaru, etc., all looked at Loquat Juuzang. They were not companions who were moving forward together. If Loquat Juuzang really did not perform the mission for this reason, they would be the first to do so. Stand up and clean up the door. "Tch, do you still need to say such a thing?" Loquat Juuzang replied with a mocking look on his face.
Although he was reluctant, he did not refuse the idea of completing the task, because he was a Kirigakure ninja. For a Kirigakure ninja, the highest priority was the task, and everything else could be ranked behind.
…
“So Akai, you guys are here too, why didn’t you see Teacher Chen?” Obito asked in surprise when he met Metkai’s team.
“Teacher Chen has something to do and will come over later.” Metkai answered honestly.
“What a coincidence, then we are now a team without an instructor.” Obito said, scratching his head as he thought about their current situation.
Although Mu Yue was on the same battlefield as them, she was unable to lead them to complete the mission because of her heavy responsibilities.
“Minato-sama, didn’t he come to this battlefield with you?” Ebisu asked curiously.
He felt that Namikaze Minato would not be such an irresponsible person and leave his disciples on the battlefield. Obito and none of them became jounin.
"Minato-sensei is on another battlefield, and the one who brought us here is Muyue-sensei, but he has other very important tasks and is unable to take us on tasks for the time being." Obito explained.
“I see, this is the bond between us!” Metkai made a look of realization, and then looked at Kakashi excitedly.
Kakashi:…
He didn’t even speak, so why did he become bound to him again?
“Since your instructor is not here, you must be more careful when performing tasks.” Kakashi reminded him as he thought of something.
Since there is no jounin to lead, even if Ebisu and Shiranui Genma have been promoted to chuunin, the Metkai team will not be able to take on B-level and above missions. However, the battlefield conditions are changing rapidly, and even B-level missions are prone to accidents. It is necessary to Always be alert.
The main reason is that the Metkai team is not strong enough. Ebisu and Shiranui Genma are considered outstanding among their peers, but the battlefield is not a battle between peers. In a war, no one cares how old you are.
To put it bluntly, it would have been safer for Metkai to go on the mission alone.
If Metkai encounters three Jonin alone, Kakashi feels that Metkai can escape safely with all his strength, but with Ebisu and Shiranui Genma, that is not necessarily the case.
Because Metkai could not abandon his companions, and Ebisu and Shiranui Genma could not escape from the hands of the Jonin, Metkai could only bite the bullet and fight head-on.
“As expected of a close friend, Teacher Chen also reminded us of this.” Metkai gave Kakashi a thumbs up.
At this moment, Obito suddenly had an idea. Everyone couldn't perform high-level tasks without an instructor. So if we form a new team together, would we be able to take on A-level tasks?
"Why don't the Akais join us? Then we will be a team of 7 chunin, and we should be qualified to accept A-level missions." Obito expressed his thoughts.
Obito was really helpless. Before coming to the battlefield, he wanted to outperform Kakashi on the battlefield. As a result, Kakashi always took the lead and took the most damage from the enemy with his superior speed.
After several missions, Obito only had a few fights with the Kirigakure shadow clones in the first mission, and did not do much in the remaining missions.
Because the ninjas I encountered were too weak, I encountered a jounin on the first mission, followed by middle and genin.
Obito knew that this was not because of their bad luck, but because of the mission. It was normal for B-level missions not to encounter a jounin, and it was an emergency if they encountered a jounin.
So if Obito wants to perform higher-level missions, he will encounter stronger enemies and have more opportunities to perform.
Of course Obito is not stupid. He will not clamor to do S-level missions. Doing so on the battlefield is pure suicide.
"You can't join other teams casually like this." Shiranui Genma said with some uncertainty.
"Your tone can be more positive, of course not." Ebisu shook his head and said.
This is on the battlefield, how can it be possible to allow the ninjas to merge and form teams at will? Wouldn't it be chaos?
“Theoretically not possible, but I can ask Teacher Muyue.” Kakashi thought for a while and said.
Kakashi feels that integrating with the Metkai team is very good, and it will be beneficial to both parties.
Kakashi's team has gained the powerful combat power of Metkai, and Ebisu and Shiranui Genma are safer.
With the strength of their seven ninjas, it is no problem to carry out A-level missions. In fact, when Kakashi and the others usually carry out A-level missions in Konoha, they don't really need Muyue or Minato to take action, unless something unexpected happens.
“Would you like to team up with your best friend? I think it’s okay.” Metkai also wanted to fight with Kakashi.
The people discussed it for a while, and finally went to Mu Yue to ask.
"It's a good thing to want to take on greater responsibilities. Let me mention it to Lord Orochimaru." Mu Yue encouraged the disciples and said that he would help them solve it.
This is also a good thing for Mu Yue, as it makes him more relaxed and does not have to spend two energy to protect his disciples in different places.
Since they are all on the same battlefield, Mu Yue must have a bowl of water, and the disciples must take care of her.
Although Uchiha Madara will definitely not attack Metkai, the tragedy in Metkai's original work happened to Kirigakure, and he has to guard against it.
Orochimaru was not stingy about his help in making great achievements in the future. He directly agreed and let Team Metkai and Team Kakashi merge to form a new team and increase their mission authority.
“Since we don’t have an instructor, we need a vice-captain. Originally, I was the vice-captain of our team, but after all, a new team has joined. To be fair, let’s vote again.” Kakashi offered to elect the vice-captain again.
This would not be necessary if only one person from Metkai had joined, but now the situation is that the entire Metkai team has joined, and re-election is necessary. Only then will the recognized vice-captains be truly obedient.
The final election result was that Kakashi was re-elected as vice-captain with an overwhelming six votes. Except for Obito who voted for Nohara Rin, everyone else voted for Kakashi.
Metkai gave people a sense of security, but Shiranui Genma and Ebisu felt that Kakashi was more suitable for the position of giving orders.
Normally, Ebisu is the one who thinks about things that require brainpower for their team. Now there is a better candidate, and Ebisu will definitely not do it by himself. He has no confidence that he can compare with Kakashi.
