Naruto: My Unique System

Chapter 175: Race And Hokage's Summoning

For the past four months, though Tatsuma hasn't been assigned any missions, the ninja world hasn't stopped turning, and the wars have not ceased.

In the north, led by the Uchiha, the front line is split into two by the Konoha Ninja. One group frequently sails to the Land of Lightning for reconnaissance missions, albeit with a very low survival rate.

However, this greatly disrupts the Cloud Ninja's actions, preventing them from moving the front line out of the Land of Lightning under stealth.

The other group, meanwhile, passes through the Land of Frost, reaching the northeastern border of the Land of Frost to station troops, effectively cutting off the land route for Cloud Ninja to leave the Land of Lightning.

The Uchiha on duty are constantly engaging in skirmishes with the Cloud Ninja, resulting in casualties after casualties, but the Konoha Elders don't seem to care, nor do the Uchiha themselves, who even seem somewhat excited.

In the northwest direction, the Konoha Ninjas who were called back have formed multiple teams and entered smaller countries like the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fields, assisting them in clearing out the "unidentified ninjas" within their borders.

Though they're called unidentified ninjas, Konoha has long known their identities. They are not just ninjas from small villages or rogue ninja, but rather ninja from the Land of Rain, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Lightning.

At the same time, Orochimaru, under disguise, has been active between the countries of Earth, Rain, Rivers, and Fields, disrupting the ninja tool trades of Earth and Rain more than once.

In one particularly brutal incident, the Explosive Tags handed over by the Rock Ninjas to the Rain Ninjas detonated without reason, causing an entire warehouse of Explosive Tags, throwing weapons, armor, Military Rations Pills, smoke bombs, and more to be burned to ashes, and dozens of Rain Ninjas lost their lives.

All of this was told to Tatsuma by Tsunade and Jiraiya upon their return from missions. Orochimaru's current missions are ones that will never see the light of day.

Meanwhile, the ANBU Black Ops temporarily separated from the main branch, led by Sakumo Hatake, are carrying out Assassination operations against key figures in ninja organizations of various countries, while another part is returning to their old ways of conducting this war.

Rooted in the Lands of Earth and Rain, continuously spreading various achievements of Onoki, due to these remarks, and the repeated incidents with exchanged ninja tools, Hanzo and Onoki began negotiations several days ago.

As for the outcome of the negotiations, perhaps it hasn't been reached yet. After all, Tsunade left the village again to carry out missions right after delivering this news.

Actually, both Hanzo and Onoki can definitely see that these two incidents must have been caused by someone, and it's likely they've already pinned it on Konoha.

After all, the direct beneficiary is the Land of Fire, and Konoha has gone through this process before.

But without evidence, they can't accuse Konoha openly, and they might even be thinking about using this as an opportunity to cause trouble.

For Hanzo, the repeated problems with ninja tools can serve as an excuse for him to push for lower prices, or even more ruthlessly, demand that all defective ninja tools be replaced and supplemented, and demand compensation from the Land of Earth for the losses incurred by the Land of Rain.

As for Onoki, the increasingly booming reputation is more advantageous for him to further control both inside and outside the Hidden Rock Village. After all, the people of the country and even other nations are all praising Onoki. At this point, how dare the other ninjas who are dissatisfied with Onoki show their faces?
