Iwagakure Shinobi Invades Konoha

"Nevermind, I shouldn't be greedy. Some abilities of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan are incredibly overpowered. How could the system offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal?"

After the experiment, Ryujin chuckled at himself in self-mockery and decided not to dwell on it anymore.

He continued to meditate, training his Chakra using the method from his predecessor's memory. After two more hours, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Ryujin's body had already adapted to his new life. As the first ray of sunlight streamed through the window, his eyes opened automatically.

He had no habit of lying in bed.

"System, Sign-i..."

Tsurugi had initially intended to perform the daily sign-in, but upon careful consideration, he suppressed that impulse. The system had mentioned that the rewards were more substantial when signing at some special locations, so he wanted to earn better rewards.

So, what were the special places in Konoha?

The Hokage Mansion, Hokage Rock, the Ninja Academy, and other landmark locations flashed through Ryuijn's mind. Finally, he thought of the Uchiha Clan territory and the territories of other major clans.

"Well, let's first try the Hokage Mansion today."

After a brief moment of thought, Ryujin made his decision. After all, he was currently a member of the Konoha Security Force, responsible for patrolling the village. Going anywhere should be no problem.

After breakfast and saying goodbye to his parents, Ryujin went to clock in at the Konoha Security Force and began his patrol within the village.

It's worth noting that this time, Ryujin wore a large pair of sunglasses on his face, mainly as a precaution. If any unforeseen circumstances required him to use the power of the Rinnegan, he could conceal it, preventing enemies from discovering his eye power.

After all, it was wartime!

As he passed by the Hokage Mansion, Ryujin, feeling a bit excited, accessed the system: "System, sign in at the Hokage Mansion!"

[Ding! Congratulations, the host has successfully signed-in and earned the reward: Flying Thunder God Technique!]

'Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique!'

Ryujin couldn't help but feel excited again. This was an overpowered ninja technique among the Hokages.

Frankly speaking, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, as long as Ryujin wanted to leave, who in the entire Shinobi World could stop him? Not even the Space-time Ninjutsu like Kamui could catch him!

In fact, this supremely powerful S-rank technique didn't even require hand seals, making it incredibly convenient.

"Haha, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if I'm just a Genin, my safety is guaranteed. If I can't win, I can just run."

Ryujin was in high spirits, and his patrol seemed to go even more smoothly.

Suddenly he received an urgent message!

"All members of the Konoha Security Force, return to headquarters for a meeting!"

After patrolling the village for three rounds, Ryujin suddenly received an urgent message from headquarters.

"Is it because of changes in the war?" Ryujin thought while returning to the Konoha Security Force, but he didn't let the thought bother him too much. After all, he was just a Genin, and he could count on the higher-ups to handle the situation.

Soon, all members of the Konoha Security Force gathered at headquarters, with the captain, Fugaku Uchiha, present, as well as other high-ranking officers.

However, everyone's expressions were grim, and the atmosphere inside the building was quite oppressive.

"According to the Frontline Intelligence report, the Iwagakure Shinobi army is advancing into the Land of Grass and launching a full-scale attack on us in Konoha. They are likely to fight to the death."

"The situation is critical, and the Konoha Security Force needs to dispatch reinforcements! We must not let the Iwagakure shinobi army cross the Land of Grass!"

"Teams One to Seven, follow me to the battlefield. Team Eight will remain in Konoha! Everyone, move now!"

After everyone gathered, Fugaku Uchiha made the necessary arrangements.

"Good luck guys. I'm staying in Konoha."

Ryujin was part of Team Eight, and when he heard he wouldn't have to go to the battlefield, he couldn't help feeling relieved. His luck seemed to be holding up well.

Next, Fugaku Uchiha led the large group of the Konoha Security Force and set off. Many Elite Shinobi in the village also rushed too with some of it are Elite Jonin.

Even members of the Anbu were reassigned.

In essence, except for the basic defensive forces needed for the village to function, almost all the troops had been mobilized.

After all, Iwagakure had gone all out, and their force was indeed intimidating.

If the enemy managed to cross the Land of Grass and engage in combat on Konoha's territory, even they face an ambush, it would be a perfect victory.

But none of this concerned Ryujin, all he had to do was stay in Konoha and relaxing.

...

Amid the tense atmosphere that shrouded the village, Ryujin continued patrolling as if nothing was happening.

What Ryujin didn't know was that in a small forest to the west-side of Konoha...

Crack!

Crack!

The faint sound of breaking earth came, and the ground suddenly turned soft like quicksand, as several heads emerged from below.

It was the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, and others.

They had activated the spy they buried within Konoha, killed the guard ninja, and then used the "Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique" to quietly infiltrate Konoha without anyone noticing.

After several heads confirmed the absolute safety, they all jumped out from underground.

"Alright, we have sneaked in at Konoha successfully as we planned!"

Kurotsuchi was a little excited as she said.

"Okay, let's proceed according to the plan. You three lead the teams to create chaos in Konoha and divert their attention. I'll search for Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Ōnoki said confidently.

"In case of any unexpected situation, evacuate immediately without waiting for me! I can leave Konoha anytime. Konoha can't stop me!"

Ōnoki spoke domineeringly, having confidence as the only Kage who could fly.

"Alright, let's go!"

With Ōnoki's command, Kurotsuchi and the others dispersed in Konoha, blending in with the crowd.

What they didn't know was that Konoha had already entered an emergency state, and the streets were completely deserted. Everyone was hiding in their homes, even shops on both sides of the streets had closed, turning away customers.

Seeing this situation, several Iwagakure Shinobi couldn't help but feel delighted. Konoha seemed to take their feigned attack seriously. Their plan was working!

"I hope this plan will be successful!" Kurotsuchi thought cautiously as she continued to move stealthily in Konoha.

"At this time, as the Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi should be sitting in the Hokage Mansion. Let's check it out first."

Ōnoki thought so and used the "Earth Release: Lightweight Boulder Jutsu" to quickly fly towards the Hokage Mansion.

However, just as he turned around a corner, he unexpectedly encountered a person – a member of the Konoha Security Force.

But soon, Ōnoki relaxed because it was just a child!
