Chapter 120 Contacting the Village (Ch 701611598)

After reflection, Yichen had a clearer understanding of his own strengths, and then began to analyze how to improve his strengths in a targeted manner.

First of all, Yi Chen needs to give full play to his own strengths, otherwise Yi Chen will always be mediocre at the elite jonin level.

Yi Chen has only one specialty from beginning to end, and that is mental power.

With the blessing of powerful mental strength, Yi Chen has chakra control ability far beyond others.

The biggest benefit of this ability is the speed of forming seals. Yi Chen intends to continue to expand his advantage in this area. This will be the focus of Yi Chen’s practice in the future.

Similarly, Yi Chen also needs to speed up the training of earth attribute and must start practicing chakra fusion as soon as possible.

So Yichen re-planned his training plan: first, the unchanging physical training, scheduled in the morning and evening; second, the seal practice, scheduled in the morning; and finally, the earth attribute training, scheduled in the afternoon.

After planning himself, Yi Chen began to pay attention to the ninjas in the camp. The ninjas in the camp now were a little different from before.

Originally, most of the thousands of outpost ninjas that Yi Chen had summoned had never participated in a war and had only heard of the cruelty of war, so everyone was still very nervous about the upcoming war.

But after this attack, everyone’s hearts suddenly calmed down.

One reason is that the troops on the Eastern Front won a victory. Although this so-called victory may not be considered a war, morale was indeed greatly boosted.

Secondly, Yi Chen was very generous and gave each of the senior ninjas and Anbu teams participating in the mission an A-level mission record at one time.

Everyone knows the rewards for A-level tasks. Yi Chen’s actions unconsciously gave everyone an illusion that participating in the war can bring high rewards.

Before, everyone joined the battle for the village, but now, in addition to the village, there is another reason, that is, for themselves.

In addition, Yi Chen also discovered that the mentality of his three disciples had also changed. Yi Chen observed for a long time before he guessed what they were thinking behind their complicated expressions.

First of all, these three disciples, like everyone else, were no longer so afraid of war, but they also felt a little frustrated about their own powerlessness. Although Yi Chen assigned them a task this time, it was just to convey an order, a task that anyone could do.

This made the three disciples somewhat disappointed, and they also realized that their own strength was seriously insufficient. Their teacher didn’t even want to take them to the battlefield.

After thinking for a while, Yi Chen walked up to the three disciples who were practicing hard and said to them, “Okay, come over and rest for a while. I will tell you in detail about our attack this time.”

Yi Chen had already talked about it once before in front of everyone, but the purpose of that talk was clear, which was to encourage morale and motivate everyone to learn the combination ninjutsu. So he didn’t talk about some details, but just talked about the battle record and the power and function of the combination ninjutsu.

Now Yi Chen’s explanation to the three disciples was very detailed. Starting from the moment he discovered the enemy’s trace, Yi Chen described the whole process of his thinking and making plans.

He described the entire battle again, even going into detail about every ninjutsu Yichen had seen. Yichen also focused on the impact that Moonlight Starry Sky’s swordsmanship had on him.

After listening to Yi Chen’s detailed description, the three disciples’ disappointment and frustration finally disappeared, and were replaced by an excitement after having a clear goal.

Chi Zihui understood the importance of perception of ninjutsu, and Kajiyama also learned the various magical uses of ninjutsu from Yichen’s description.

The one who gained the most was Kawakita. After listening to Yi Chen’s description, he kept imagining in his mind the process of Moonlight and Starry Sky breaking a B-level or C-level ninjutsu with one sword.

Yi Chen looked at this silly boy, feeling a little speechless. Could he have started to admire the Konoha ninja? He shook his head. This possibility was not great. However, if he could have taken him to see Guang Xingkong’s swordsmanship with his own eyes, perhaps he would have gained something.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen had an idea in his mind. He was going to ask the Anbu to go back to the village in the next two days to get some B-level ninjutsu from the village. These B-level ninjutsu were the ninjutsu that some of the dozen or so jonin under Yi Chen and many Anbu members wanted to exchange.

This is also Yi Chen’s task as a temporary commander, to do his best to provide logistics for the frontline ninjas. However, the village only allows frontline ninjas to exchange B-level and C-level ninjutsu.

It’s not that the village is stingy, but for A-level and above ninjutsu, the ninja who learns it must cast a sealing technique on the brain, otherwise there is a risk of leakage.

Moreover, even if one wants to learn B-level ninjutsu, one must obtain permission from the village’s top leaders. It can be said that every application for B-level ninjutsu must correspond to a specific ninja. Whether or not the village can approve it depends on whether the ninja has made enough contributions.

The ninjas of the East Front Force had no chance to obtain B-level ninjutsu before, but this time they had just killed an elite Jonin of Konoha. As long as they brought the body back to the village and the village verified it, there was a certain chance that the East Front Force would be allowed to exchange some B-level ninjutsu.

Taking this opportunity, Yi Chen plans to create a B-level ninjutsu for Kawakita, or more precisely, a genjutsu that can help Kawakita. Yi Chen plans to use genjutsu on Kawakita, just like Uchiha Itachi used Tsukuyomi on Sasuke.

Of course, with Yi Chen’s attainments in ninjutsu and the Iwagakure’s collection of illusions, it is impossible to be as domineering as Tsukuyomi.

However, the biggest obstacle for Yichen to cast illusion on Chuanbei is the possible resistance of Chuanbei himself, but Yichen is for Chuanbei’s good, so Chuanbei’s resistance does not exist. This gives Yichen’s operation great feasibility.

As far as Yichen could remember, the village didn’t have a complete B-level illusion, but there was a related B-level secret collection. It was this secret collection that Yichen wanted to redeem. Yichen had a good talent for illusion, and he planned to develop this less practical illusion based on the secret collection.

Of course, if it is too complicated, Yichen will not plan to develop it.

This is all later. Now that the camp has stabilized, Yichen has to write a report to the village. After all, sending out nearly twenty jonin is no small matter, and Yichen has to give the village a reasonable explanation.

In addition, Konoha sent elite jonin to conduct reconnaissance, and this information must be passed back to the village, not to mention that one of the enemies who came to reconnaissance had escaped.

Yi Chen had no idea how much information about the camp the man who escaped knew, and this was something the village leaders needed to worry about.

The next day, after a night’s rest, the Anbu team leader Ben and his team were arranged by Yi Chen to return to the village to report the situation.

The team returned to the village as quickly as possible and was immediately received by Ōnoki.

Now that the war is about to begin, Ben represents the front-line troops, and there is no guarantee that he may have any important intelligence. Therefore, even if the senior management happened to be in a meeting, they stopped their work and met with Ben.

After meeting Ohnoki and several other senior executives, Ben handed the scroll given by Yichen to Ohnoki, and reported what he knew about what had happened.

Because Ben was not the commander of the incident, and Yi Chen’s report was very detailed, Ben left immediately after reporting the situation, leaving the senior management to continue the meeting.

Advisor Saka is the commander of the Eastern Front, and although he has not yet gone to the front, in theory Yichen is also Saka’s subordinate, so Ohnoki directly asked Saka’s opinion.

Ban thought for a moment and said, “The Sand Ninja’s war preparations are almost complete. I originally planned to send Xiao and Huang Tu to the Eastern Front in a while. Now it seems that it is not necessary for the time being. Yi Chen has done a good job, so let him continue to lead the Eastern Front troops.”

Ohnoki nodded and said, “Okay, we don’t need to worry about Yichen’s overall view. I thought there would be all kinds of problems when commanding thousands of people for the first time, but now it seems that we worried too much.”

The elderly male consultant said, “Yes, the most important thing is that he knows how to reflect and correct his mistakes. He is still young, so it’s not a big deal if he makes some mistakes now. When he matures, he will be able to take over our responsibilities.”

Ohnoki was stunned and asked, “What are you doing?”

The old male advisor smiled and said, “We are old and lack energy. After this war, we will leave our positions to the young people.”

Another elderly consultant also smiled and nodded.

Ōnoki and the two middle-aged advisors wanted to say something, but in the end they kept silent.

The two seniors are indeed old. Although I gave them a lot of guidance in the past, their energy is no longer enough now. It is time for them to retire and enjoy their old age.

Ohnoki thought for a moment and said, “Ikura is making rapid progress. I am thinking of giving up the position of Tsuchikage after this war is over. What do you think about this?”

“Forehead.”

The other people were also stunned after hearing what Ōnoki said. They didn’t expect Ōnoki to say that.

Saka was the first to voice his concerns: “Isn’t it too hasty to let them take over at such a young age?”

Ohnoki shook his head and said, “We were also this young when we came to power. We have two seniors to assist and guide us. We can also guide Ikura and the others in the future.”

Ohnoki’s words brought the four advisors’ thoughts back to the tragic period of World War I. At that time, in the Land of Earth, the second generation Tsuchikage Mu died in the battle, and the Iwagakure Village was leaderless. As Mu’s disciple, Ohnoki reached the level of Kage at a young age. So he was appointed to be the new generation of Tsuchikage in times of crisis.

At that time, the people in the Iwagakure were uneasy. Firstly, they were afraid that Ōnoki was young and ignorant and could not be a good Tsuchikage. Secondly, they were afraid that Ōnoki could not deter foreign enemies and bring stability to the Land of Earth.

Fortunately, everything did not develop in the worst direction. Under the leadership of Ohnoki, the third Tsuchikage, the Land of Earth came out of its most difficult period.

After a while, Ohnoki said, “After all, we ninjas speak with strength. Like me, we take the position when we are young, and step down when our health starts to decline, so that the position can be passed on to the new generation of geniuses. This way, the village will always be prosperous in the eyes of other countries, and no one will look down on us.”

Several consultants thought about it and felt that it made sense. They were not Tsuchikage and could not feel the kind of pressure that Ōnoki felt, but after Ōnoki explained it clearly, they could understand it.
