New Heights

The pace of time never stop. Unconsciously, one year passed by, and Konoha year 44 arrived quietly.

The battle between the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Mist Village has officially begun since the end of a battle between Konoha and Sunagakure six months ago.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage perished together, ever since then Iwagakure and Kirigakure have long forged a hatred because of it. While Konoha and Sunagakure consumed a lot of energy, the Hidden Stone and Hidden Mist officially started the battle, preparing to end the hatred formed during Second Shinobi World War.

In the beginning, Iwagakure and Kirigakure evenly matched. But Onoki make many promises to the Hidden Sand Village, and even managed to pull them to form an alliance, the 2 Great Ninja Village attacked Kirigakure at the same time.

Under the joint siege of the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Sand Village, Kirigakure was quickly defeated, and even the Third Mizukage was killed in the final battle, becoming the first battlefield in the Third Shinobi World War.

After this battle, Iwagakure was naturally in the limelight, and the Hidden Sand Village also emerged from the shadow of defeat, but the 2 Great Ninja Village didn't just stopped there. Instead, they continued to slay soldiers and horses, and even started to set the blade of the butcher knife against the Hidden Leaf.

Although they haven't officially declared war to Konoha, the intention of the 2 Great Ninja Village has long been seen through, and it's only a matter of time before the war officially starts.

As for the Hidden Cloud Village, there was no action from them at this time. However, the Hidden Cloud Village has been plundering some of the nearby Small Ninja Village in recent years. It's also became a popular rumour that the 8 tail Jinchuriki of Kumogakure was also often getting out of control.

After the defeat of Hidden Mist Village, it was obvious that the Third Shinobi World War was just beggining.

After the funeral of the Third Mizukage, the Fourth Mizukage Yakura officially came to power, and the Hidden Mist Village also entered a state of emergency preparations. Obviously, as long as the form of the Shinobi World continues to change, the Hidden Mist Village will also participate in the battle and try to recapture their previous defeat.

The news of the Fourth Mizukage Yakura's coming to Konoha got passed around for a long period of time.

He remembered that in the Anime, the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by the Sharingan, and judging from the fact that Rin's still alive, the real Madara must be operating the Hidden Mist Village behind the scenes, and the current Fourth Mizukage must also already be under Madara 's control.

Thinking of this, Junrei immediately realized that if the Hidden Stone Village declared war to Konoha, then the famous battle in Naruto! The Battle of Kannabi Bridge would begin!

In this battle, Konoha gave birth to 2 Heroes with the Sharingan, one was Obito Uchiha and the other was Kakashi of the Sharingan.

But for the entire Shinobi World, in the battle of Kannabi Bridge, a ninja called Obito died, and the battle gave birth to a masked Madara that played with the entire Shinobi World in his palm.

In fact, sometimes, Junrei really wanted to find a chance to kill Obito and steal his eyes.

[Kamui] can be said to be the most perfect Space-Time Ninjutsu in Naruto, especially when the two eyes are gathered together, the speed of Space Transmission is already faster than the attack of Six-Paths Madara. As long as he can get those eyes, almost no one in the entire Shinobi World can get a hold of him.

Sometimes when he sees Obito in the village, Junrei will vaguely think about that one day that he must dig out those eyes. It's a pity that Obito is either always on his residence in the Uchiha Clan's grounds, or is going out to execute a mission with Minato. Junrei can't just quietly kill him now, and thats without even considering taking away his Sharingan.

Especially for the Obito that hasn't opened his eyes yet.

The most important thing for Junrei at present is strength.

Day after day training, Junrei's strength was been growing steadily. On the field of Medical-Ninjutsu and Chakra Enhanced Strength, he has completely inherited the legacy of Tsunade. As long as his master develops the [Yin Seal] Jutsu, the strength of Junrei will be greatly improved, completely solving his Chakra Reserves problem.

In this year, Tsunade has begun to study the [Yin Seal]. Although there are not many accomplishment nor achievements, Junrei was really moved when he first heard the news.

Since Junrei mentioned his Chakra Reserves problem last time, Tsunade has been helping him find a solution. And so after a period of time researching, [Yin Seal] this Ninjutsu has finally begun it's creation.

Junrei remembered that in the Anime, during the Sannin Battle episode, Orochimaru was surprised when he first saw this Ninjutsu. Obviously he didn't know that Tsunade would use this Ninjutsu. In other words, in the Anime at least, Tsunade should start researching the [Yin Seal] after leaving Konoha.

Now Tsunade is working on this Ninjutsu in advance to help him.

Now every time he faces Tsunade, Junrei feels a little guilty. Tsunade was really good to him, but he still had to obey Orochimaru's orders, and even prepared to secretly seize the Senju Jutsu whenever he got the chance...

Junrei's only hope now is to get enough strength that can save his life in front of Orochimaru as soon as possible, whether the [Yin Seal] or [Flying Thunder God Jutsu], can help change his current situation.

Konoha Year 44, June

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Sand Village recovered from the battle with Hidden Mist Village. At the same time, they started setting their aim at Konoha. Sunagakure even tore out the Peace Treaty without even saying hello, which was signed not long ago, once again igniting war with Konoha.

For a while, the situation in the Hidden Leaf Village was precarious.

The frontline unfavorable battle report passed back to Konoha, and the high level immediately decided to send Jiraiya to the Hidden Stone Village frontline, and Orochimaru continued to fight his old opponent, Sunagakure.

Now Konoha, in addition to their older generation of ninja, only the 'Sannin' have the ability and prestige to lead an army alone.

Although the strength Minato Namikaze had showed was0 good, the prestige was not enough. The current Minato is not famous enough to lead an army. But after this battle with Hidden Stone Village, the legend of the 'Yellow Flash' Namikaze Minato will resound through the Shinobi World, laying the foundation for Minato to become the Fourth Hokage.

After a year of training, strength has already grown into Junrei, and he's full of expectations for this war.

Junrei, who has the identity of Tsunade's disciple, can use his Medical-nin identity to join the frontline to fight Sunagakure. Junrei is looking forward to it, if he can contribute to Konoha in the Third Shinobi World War, the village high level will reward him with some powerful Ninjutsu.

There is only one way to get the [Flying Thunder God Jutsu].

Stealing the Scroll of Seals from Anbu's heavy protection is basically impossible. Junrei is not Naruto. Without tricking the Third Hokage there's no way to get it, even if he could deal with Anbu he can't do anything in front of the Third Hokage.

Just after the Jonin meeting, Junrei received an order from Shikaku to gather.

Konoha's so nervous right now that Shikaku will probable be heading to the battlefield soon. As for Asuma and Kurenai, even if they want to go to the battlefield, the village will not agree unless the situation is really precarious.

"Asuma! Kurenai! How are you!" At the 8th training stadium, Junrei greeted 2 people.

looking at these two people who have no sense of urgency, Junrei secretly said in his heart. "This team, which has just been formed for a year, may be dissolved soon."
