Chapter 127 The Gathering of Iwagakure
The idea of having Sarutobi Asuma give Itachi Uchiha a moral lesson was a sudden inspiration from Shingetsu Seiun.
It wasn't because Sarutobi Asuma had a particularly good understanding of "jade," nor was his intention to have Sarutobi Asuma actually teach to a certain level.
It was all just to pollute Itachi Uchiha's brain database.
He remembered that Itachi Uchiha was later described as a young man with the mindset of a Hokage, the kind of mindset that says, "Whether it's a friend, a brother, or even your own child, if they pose a threat to the village, I will not show mercy."
That's too extreme.
If we disregard everything else for the sake of village peace, we will put the cart before the horse and ultimately bring darkness to the village.
To avoid this situation and to keep Itachi Uchiha's mind in a relatively healthy state, he decided to strike first!
His plan was: since he didn't have enough ability to teach Uchiha Itachi, and instead let a more complete ideology replace the Will of Fire, he might as well fill Uchiha Itachi's mind with a bunch of messy ideas.
Being influenced by a single ideology can make a person extreme; being influenced by various ideologies can make a person dislike ideologies. After understanding the Will of Earth, the Will of Water, the Will of Lightning, and the Will of Wind, and after learning what "jade" is, what war is, what peace is, and what the methods of rulers are, would Itachi Uchiha still regard the so-called Will of Fire as the ultimate standard?
Probably not—
Watching Sarutobi Asuma gradually get into the zone, he nodded in satisfaction, planning to collect the village wills of other ninja villages after some time and give them all to Uchiha Itachi.
Nothing happened that night.
At noon the next day, as the alarms sounded at the three-wheeled defense line, everyone quickly went into battle mode.
The hidden rocks are gathering.
Perhaps due to unfamiliarity with the terrain of the third line of defense, or perhaps because the war has reached such a stage that a surprise attack would be too difficult, in any case, this time, Iwagakure seems to be planning a frontal assault.
Everyone tensed up when they heard that the enemy was gathering.
Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just too tired.
This kind of exhaustion is not physical, but mental torment.
What is the most painful thing in the world?
Listening to an old man spout nonsensical nonsense.
What could be more painful than this?
Listening to a precocious man spout nonsensical nonsense.
When he heard that Iwagakure was preparing for battle, he was even more enthusiastic than Sarutobi Asuma, and quickly got up.
"How can I help?"
"Preparing meals? Cleaning?"
"I can do it, I can do anything."
Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment, then looked at Xi Ri Hong.
"Red, when the fight breaks out, you take Itachi with you—"
Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and Hinata Kaede hurriedly walked in.
"nebula."
"Hyuga Rinko asked me to inform you that she went to the watchtower to serve as a guard with me."
Shenyue Xingyun frowned: "Fenghua, didn't I tell you? You don't need to worry about my safety."
"
"I don't want to be a bodyguard either."
Hyuga Kaede hurriedly explained, "This time, I didn't approach her first; she came to me."
Seeing that Shenyue Xingyun had a stern face, she added, "She probably won't have the same attitude as last time. You should go over there."
Shenyue Xingyun shook his head.
Seeing his refusal, Hyuga Kaede's gaze shifted, and she said, "Besides, aren't you with a child?" As she spoke, she looked at Uchiha Itachi beside her, "The danger will be much less in the watchtower."
Shingetsu Seiun hesitated for a moment. Seeing this, Hinata Kaede quickly pressed her advantage, leaning closer and softly saying, "I'm begging you."
With Hinata Kaede half-pulling and half-dragging them, the group arrived at the center of the camp, atop a watchtower several tens of meters high.
When the group arrived, the first thing they saw was the guard in his forties. Not far from him, Rinko Hinata was sitting cross-legged on the ground, the blood vessels around her eyes bulging, and a strong chakra aura emanating from her.
A moment later, the chakra aura dissipated, and the blood vessels around the Byakugan faded away.
"The Iwagakure forces are assembling at a 40-degree northwest angle. No large-scale hidden forces have been detected. The final assault is expected in one and a half hours."
As Hinata Rinko spoke, someone quickly wrote it down and then passed it on.
After finishing all this, Hinata Rinko got up from the ground and looked in the direction of Shinzuki Seiun and the others.
Although her gaze had softened considerably compared to yesterday, it was still intense. After lingering on Shenyue Xingyun's face for a full three seconds, she nodded.
"You and Jonin Morishita will protect my safety together."
"If danger arises, you must stop the enemy immediately. Can you do that?"
The men had no objections and dispersed to guard the area.
In the following period of time, Hinata Rinko would use her Byakugan to observe the movements of the Iwagakure forces and relay the information through designated personnel.
While waiting, she quietly watched the Divine Moon Nebula, her eyes flickering as if she were thinking about something.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but whisper to Kurenai Yuhi beside him, "That Nebula guy."
"You're always restless wherever you go, aren't you, Red?"
Kurenai glanced at him: "Shut up and mind your own business."
"Isn't this just boring?" Sarutobi Asuma said, "Do you think this Hyuga clan's eldest daughter can take down Nebula?"
Kurenai glanced at him sideways.
After asking the question, Sarutobi Asuma replied to himself, "I don't think so."
"It's too ordinary."
"Nebula's girlfriends are all very beautiful, this woman has no chance."
Kurenai Yuhi didn't speak, but a hint of agreement appeared in her eyes.
She wasn't blind, and of course she could see that this woman from the Hyuga main family was undisguisedly passionate about Shingetsu Seiun, but as Sarutobi Asuma said...
His appearance is not up to par.
It falls below the minimum standard for a rumored girlfriend to pass through the God Moon Nebula, so it's basically impossible.
Sarutobi Asuma tugged at Kurenai Yuhi's sleeve and whispered, "Guess what they'll do next?"
Kurenai Yuhi: "I'm not guessing, I'm not interested."
Sarutobi Asuma: "I'll bet five explosive tags. If you guess right, you're amazing; if you guess wrong, it's okay."
Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment.
"I can't guess."
Sarutobi Asuma: "Then think about it again."
"If you ask me—this woman will probably use this opportunity to fight side by side to leave a good impression on Shingetsu Seiun."
"Then, after returning to the village, she continued to give and pursue, using perseverance and determination to win the heart of the handsome man she fell in love with at first sight."
This was the only way Sarutobi Asuma could think of to pursue his goal.
Before Kurenai could speak, Itachi Uchiha, who was standing next to her, suddenly lowered his voice and said.
"Probably not."
"This woman wouldn't use such a stupid method."
Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback, then lowered his head and whispered, "What does a child know?"
Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips and muttered to himself.
Even if it's small, it's still better than an idiot like you!
