Naruto : Gamer System-Chapter 69 : Sudden War

"Master Samui, isn't this the same as declaring war on Konoha? After all, those are the eyes of the Hyuga Clan's head," Sha asked hesitantly in a low voice.

"It's just a pair of eyes. Can't you put them back on after taking them off?" Samui replied flatly.

"You mean..."

"In truth, neither the eyes of the Hyuga Patriarch nor the little girl are of direct use to us."

"???"

Sha looked at Samui suspiciously.

"This situation isn't so simple—there are complicated politics involved." As they neared the Konoha border defense line, Samui began to slow down.

"The Hyuga Patriarch's eyes hold immense political weight. No matter the method, Konoha will never let us take them peacefully—unless we're prepared to fight them to the end. Otherwise, another village will simply take advantage of the chaos."

"Then why are we still doing this?"

"Because politics are rarely about winning or losing cleanly. Even if we don't keep the eyes, they're still a powerful bargaining chip at the negotiation table."

At this point, Samui glanced at Hinata.

"As for the girl, we can't take her alive. The value of a living bloodline ninja is vastly different from that of a corpse. A living one might spread that bloodline further. A dead one? All that's left is some knowledge about the Kekkei Genkai. So the best option is to kill her, take the Byakugan, and return the body. All we'll gain is the tools—the Byakugan itself—but we'll never be able to create the bloodline again. Understand?"

"So... Konoha won't go to war?"

"Of course not. I know the Third Hokage. He values the bigger picture, He won't initiate war unless absolutely necessary. As long as we return the Hyuga Patriarch's eyes, Konoha may tolerate us taking the girl's Byakugan. The Third will suppress any backlash from the Hyuga Clan. It wouldn't be the first time—it's what Kirigakure did back then too."

"I see..."Sha nodded, though her mood darkened. She recalled that the girl had been with that terrifying Konoha boy once. Would things really go as smoothly as Master Samui claimed?

"Master Samui, we're close to the Fire Country border. There are Konoha border troops stationed here. Should we detour?"

Samui looked back, thought for a moment, then said, "No need. Konoha's troops shouldn't have received word yet. Without official orders, they won't dare stop us. If we waste time detouring, we'll definitely be caught."

"But if they have received the message?"

"In that case, we hand over the girl and the eyes. We won't lose anything. Konoha won't dare retaliate."

Cloud's group continued toward the Land of Thunder, but not long after, they were intercepted.

"You've arrived." Aburame Shino's father, Shibi, led the troops that blocked their way.

"We're the delegation from the Hidden Cloud here for the Chunin Exams. Now that Konoha is at war with the Sand, we've decided to leave early to avoid being caught in the conflict. Here are our documents."

Shibi examined the identity scrolls for a moment and then handed them back.

"Alright. You may pass." Although suspicious, he had no grounds to stop them.

Once Cloud ninja left, a Konoha shinobi whispered, "Something's off about them."

"I agree," Shibi nodded, "but I can't legally stop them."

Just as Cloud was about to cross the border—

"Wait." A thought struck Shibi. "The reports from a few days ago—only 18 of your ninja remained after the Chunin Exams. Then who is this extra person?"

All eyes turned to the lone figure completely wrapped up and held by another Cloud ninja.

"Run!" Samui shouted immediately. "This is already the border! I sent word to the village earlier—they'll be sending reinforcements soon!"

Boom!

A smoke bomb detonated, and all the Cloud ninja began to flee.

Shibi hadn't expected such a reaction.

"Chase them! Notify all teams! Surround them but do not kill! We're not authorized to start a war!"

The entire Konoha border erupted into a flurry of movement as Konoha ninja mobilized from all sides.

"It's not good, Master Samui! We're surrounded!"

Samui gritted her teeth.

"Tch... We have no choice. We'll hand over the girl and the eyes."

"But... Brother Iwaya ambushed a Konoha squad earlier. They're dead."

"What? I explicitly said no killing! Are they Idiot ?! I swear to—!"Samui almost coughed up blood in rage.

Originally, this was a strategic gamble. If they got the eyes, fine. If not, they'd still get political leverage. Even if the operation failed, Konoha wouldn't risk full war.But now—with dead Konoha ninja on their hands—there was no turning back.

Samui took a deep breath and gave the order:

"Forget it. No more restraint. Break the encirclement or we all die."

With that, Cloud ninja went all out. Blood was spilled on both sides. Konoha's troops, seeing their own comrades die, retaliated fiercely.

Cloud's forces were slowly being worn down.

"This... this wasn't supposed to happen. Brother Iwaya swore he was safe..."

"He's dead now."

"Damn it... those idiots killed all of us..."

Suddenly—

Sounds of combat echoed from the distance.

"Reinforcements! Our reinforcements are here!" one Cloud ninja shouted in joy.

But Samui was far from relieved.

"This wasn't the plan... I never intended to start a war. How do I explain this to Lord Raikage...?"

The Land of Hot Water, a small neutral country between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, was suddenly plunged into chaos.

Hundreds of Konoha and Kumogakure shinobi were already locked in fierce combat. Reinforcements from both sides poured in like a flood, escalating the war into a full-blown catastrophe.

In truth, the Konoha-Kumo border had always been volatile—ambushes, infiltrations, and revenge killings were routine. It was the kind of tension where even a minor spark could ignite a war.

Shibi frowned. "Didn't I say not to attack first, and focus on blocking the enemy?"

"But they killed our people first!"

"Is that so, did Kumogakure premeditate it? Or that they and Sunagakure have already made an agreement, no, we need more support, notify Konoha Headquarters, Kumogakure's large-scale invasion, let them do a good job of fighting Prepare."

"Slap!" Killer Bee slapped Omoi hard on the face.

"Idiot! Who asked you to mobilize so many people, and even did it."

Omoi responded aggrievedly: "At that time, Samui sent us a request for help. I looked for the teacher for a long time and you couldn't find it. I had no choice but to bring someone to help."

"Slap!" Killer Bee slapped Omoi hard on the face again. "I know that you and Samui have a deep relationship, but that's not the reason for you to mobilize the army without permission."

Killer Bee looked at the battlefield helplessly: "You know, I don't want to start this war even if Samui died there, and finally the ninja world was peaceful." Speaking of this, Killer Bee's face There was unconcealable sadness on his face.

"Master. I'm sorry."

"You shouldn't say this to me, you should say it to those innocent people who died in battle." After speaking, Killer Bee walked towards the battlefield.

"The matter has come to this, there is no other way, let's fight."

As the number of people gradually increased, the battle on the field became more and more fierce. People died from time to time, and the two sides became more brutal because of this. However, it was surprising that because of the sudden battle, neither side had a formed command, and fought in a mess, into a ball.

When Haruto Itsuki came, he saw such a scene. Haruto Itsuki felt a little baffled by it. Although Haruto Itsuki was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, he never thought of starting a war.

Seeing such a scene, Haruto Itsuki knew that it was hopeless to rescue Hinata, and he might not even be able to find out where Hinata was by himself, so Haruto Itsuki had no choice but to go to Konoha's headquarters first to see what was going on.

As Haruto Itsuki fell to the ground, the thunder giant behind Haruto Itsuki, who had become extremely small, was also exhausted and shattered.

"Stop, who are you?"

"I am the reinforcements sent by Konoha, I want to see your commander."

"Konoha Reinforcement Army? Just you? "

After a while, Haruto Itsuki saw Shibi.

"It's Haruto Itsuki, what's the situation with Konoha now?" Shibi asked distractedly while looking at the map. freewёbnoνel.com

"Konoha, The situation is not bad. The coalition forces of Sunagakure and Otogakure have been wiped out, and Konoha has basically not suffered any losses."

"That's it, that's good, so you don't have to worry about Kumogakure's attack."

Haruto Itsuki asked suspiciously: "What's going on? Why are there fights?"

"According to our discussion, this is most likely a conspiracy against Konoha." Shibi said with certainty.

"Conspiracy?"

"Yes, Kumogakure sent a large number of troops to approach our border and attacked us. It is obvious that they may have reached an alliance with Sunagakure. If this is the case, things may be in trouble. Iwagakure and Kirigakure may also intervene. Of course we have no evidence, but things are already close. The uncharacteristic participation of Kumogakure and Kirigakure in the Chunin exam this time is the best proof. The delegation they sent is very likely to be their intelligence officers."

Haruto Itsuki was a little silly listening, what's the situation, even if he brought the butterfly effect, he couldn't change the plot so much, this is the rhythm of Konoha being besieged.

"I have already applied to the village for reinforcements. We must resolve this battle as soon as possible. The longer it drags on, the worse the situation will be for us."

-------------

"Hokage-sama, information from the border of the Land of Lightning."

Hiruzen looked at the secret letter, the more frightened he became.

"How could it be, not only Sunagakure and Otogakure, but also Kumogakure? Even Kirigakure may be involved, so Iwagakure will not miss this opportunity." Hiruzen pondered for a moment, then looked at the person next to him. Anbu.

"Strengthen the monitoring of the Kirigakure delegation, is there any news from Iwagakure and Kirigakure?" Hiruzen asked.

"There is no change yet, but the possibility of the other party's secretive actions cannot be ruled out."

"Strengthen intelligence reconnaissance, and notify me immediately when there is news. I really didn't expect Kumogakure to do such a good job in secret work. We didn't even notice the plan to launch a war against our Konoha."

After a while, the third generation called Shikaku: "How are you preparing?"

"Except for the necessary garrison troops and the wounded, 150 ninjas have been assembled temporarily. There are 52 Jonin and the rest are Chunin."

"Yeah." The third generation nodded: "Shikaku, you will lead the team to the battle line against Kumogakure, um. Let's add some medical-nin."

Shikaku looked at the third generation in astonishment: "Has the matter reached such a serious point that they are going to send Jonin directly to the battlefield without any mobilization or preparation?"

"It's too late. I'm afraid that Kirigakure and Iwagakure will also participate. You will be the commander in chief of the battlefield. The war must be ended as soon as possible, even if casualties are not counted."

Shikaku's head was faintly sweating: "Yes."

A was still dazed when he received the battle report.

"It's a fight, what? It's a fight!" A slammed the table, smashing it into pieces.

"It's our first move. Why don't I know as Raikage? Why don't I know as Raikage? I didn't even know that they started a war with Konoha." At this moment, A's face said the two words in capital letters - bewildered.

"What did Killer Bee do? I just saw that the situation may have changed recently and let him sit there. He didn't let him fight with Konoha's people. Don't you need to ask me for such things? I'm Raikage" A scolded for a long time before realizing that now is not the time to talk about this.

"Raikage guards gather, I'm going to the front line to see."

"Darui, I'll leave it to you to assemble the troops and arrange all aspects. I'll go first." A broke through the wall and came out.

"I..." Darui looked at A's back helplessly and sighed.

"What the hell is going on? How could there be a fight? There's no preparation at all. It's so chaotic. Ah——going crazy!"
