Chapter 40

Ryu was thinking while he heads towards his compound.

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

In the past months along the shinobi villages borders, skirmishes with smaller nations broke out all the time. The prolonged conflicts gradually keep spreading their flames far and wide, until at last it developed again into an all-out war. The conflicts returned and turned into an unprecedented war of attrition, tormenting all nations with a shortage of war potential.

Sunagakure participated in the war against Hidden Leaf village but were being countered by surprisingly, Sakumo Hatake, who wanted to enter 3rd shinobi war as his last war before retiring from his services as Shinobi and mainly focus the rest of his life on his family and being the Hokage's advisor.

Leading the front against Hidden Sand, Sakumo showed why he wasn't only known as Konoha war hero but also one of the strongest Leaf shinobi. Killing the Sand Jinchuuriki while fiercely fighting against Chiyo and her brother Ebizo, forcing the Yondaime Kazekage to recall his forces.

The war continued and one year later Kumogakure become a main part of this war, with at least Konohagakure clashing with shinobi from this village, specifically Minato and Ay. Unfortunately for Cloud, different from the original world, Mikoto Uchiha entered their fight using her Mangekyo, sending Amaterasu to instantly kill some Kumo Anbu that were around and after swiftly putting Eight tails Jinchuuriki into Tsukuyomi, making Killer Bee unconscious leaving Ay without other choice, Ay without hesitation choose to take his brother away while retreating. This fight gave Mikoto a high entry on their Bingo Book.

Bingo Book:

Name: Mikoto Uchiha. Uchiha Clan Matriarch.

Alias: Sharingan No Mikoto, (Kuroi Hono no Megami) Black Flames Goddess.

Rank: S

Affinity Shown: Fire, Lightning, Unknown Black Flames.

Summon: Crows.

Kumogakure: 5.000.000 Ryo Alive.

Iwagakure: 5.000.000 Ryo Alive.

Wanted For: Uchiha Matriarch fought and won against eight tails Jinchuuriki known as Killer Bee, showed her expertise over kenjutsu with high level mastery, fire and lightning ninjutsu and above all exceptional genjutsu mastery, making a Jinchuuriki unconscious and incapable of defending.

Even though they wanted her dead they wouldn't want to sacrifice their forces to hunt her, as it might make Sayuri angry. Just placing an bounty so that it wouldn't damage their village's image and for mercenaries or bounty hunters to target her without having affiliation with their villages, having faith that maybe someone skillful enough could capture her and the great villages would use her to keep Ryu away from war.

Kirigakure didn't partook in the war against any village different from the original as they closed their borders earlier to clean the bloodline users. Ryuji and Sakumo had their elite Anbu trying to silently contact Terumi and the remaining Yuki clan for support in their rebellion, Ryuji went as far as mentioning handing their swords back after the ending their civil war as a sign of trust.

Amegakure had an early skirmish with Konoha but were intercepted by Jiraya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage with Jiraya's and Ryuji's Anbu Special forces help, ended up successfully killing and driven away Rain forces. As soon as their leader, Hanzo received a report, he ordered a recall and joined his forces to deal with the old Sarutobi clan head while ignoring a new rising force on Amegakure, with rumors of one of their leaders having the Rikudou Sennin's legendary Doujutsu, the Rinnegan.

Even with their joint forces and alliance, the great villages couldn't gain upper hand on any battlefield against leaf. All invasions were meet with vicious Ambush, with the help from Anbu Phantom Squad, that had exceptional stealth and dealt with espionage, infiltration and sabotage. Even though they were never seen Ryuji Anbu unit used blank masks on black color

With countless ineffective attacks, shinobi captured and interrogated by Ryuji squads, Kumo, Iwa, Sand and Ame started to doubt if there was a mole into their ranks or if any other great village in their alliance was selling information to Konoha. This doubt made their trust towards their so-called Alliance extremely strained.

This was the second time in History that three great Villages made Alliance to destroy another village. First time was with Rock, Mist and Cloud attacking Uzugakure and failing miserably, now Rock, Sand, Cloud and Rain attacking Hidden Leaf. Unfortunately for the Alliance, they lost against Uzu and the war against Konoha is at their peak and the advantage is greatly moved to Leaf's side.

Two years passed, Konohagakure and Iwagakure fought across Kusagakure after the latter had infiltrated it in order to lay siege to the border of the Land of Fire. It was necessary to destroy the Kannabi Bridge to cut Iwa major road to supply their forces in war, increasing even more Konoha's chances and advantages.

These last year was a great year for Ryu and his family, a month before Tsubaki's 4 years old birthday. Mikoto gave astonishing news about her pregnancy, making him extremely happy but had to spend some time to spoil Kushina who was happy but a little jealous about staying behind.

Ryuji as always, never stopped training finally achieving Saint level on his swordsmanship, gaining Grandmaster level on Medicine and Cooking, and Expert level on Spear Mastery and Blacksmithing. Using his Blacksmithing ability to forge special weapons and protections for his wives and creating a gauntlet for Tsunade, enhancing even further her strength.

Ryuji is almost removing his last limiter on chakra that will convert all his chakra into God Chakra. His chakra reserves increased even more during these years.

(AN: If you forgot the skill levels: 1st Beginner, 2nd Intermediate, 3rd Advanced, 4th Expert, 5th Master, 6th Grand Master, 7th Saint, 8th God, 9th Primordial God. In case of Swordsmanship Our MC is now a Sword Saint.)

(AN: Don't worry about his Kenjutsu, I just keep it because I find weird not having it. But as soon as he goes to other world, I am thinking of removing his shinobi status and create a status for his new world, He will keep all his abilities only his status will change. Just changing for example: Shinobi Status for Overlord Status or Danmachi Status.)

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

Inside Hokage's tower was Tsunade, to her right side was Mito Uzumaki and to her left side was Sayuri. Ryuji was behind her wearing his Anbu mask showing his position as Anbu Commander. Around the room was the few of their elite Jounin, the others were fighting in the frontlines.

Tsunade: [We won't need to worry about Suna, after Sakumo forced them to retreat after heavy loses and their strained relationship with the other villages, they will most likely ask for peace, soon I might go there with my husband to sign the treaty.] seeing that the Jounin had all their attention on her speech.

Tsunade: [The destruction of Kannabi Bridge is crucial to us; it will block Iwa's supply route and increase our advantage.] said looking around the room making sure every shinobi present were given her full attention.

Tsunade: [This mission will be difficult as certainly there will be skilled guards to protect their main road, and …..]

Minato: [Hokage-sama …] Said the blond Jounin interrupting Tsunade, she just looked at him and nodded, for him to continue.

Minato: [I would like to take this mission with my team.] continued his speech while showing a serious face.

Mito: [Are you sure? Don't get me wrong, I know you are a capable shinobi young Namikaze, but this mission is extremely important.] questioned before her granddaughter could reply and was intently glancing at the blond Jounin.

Minato: [Yes, Mito-sama, I am 100% sure of my decision.] answered without wavering.

Tsunade: [Very well! I will let you go with your team 7, I know you become a capable Kage level and Kakashi become a High Jounin now, and would be of great help for you, meanwhile his teammates are Chuunin and would be a good support. …. I will entrust not only this mission to you but your team's safety. Don't forget this is an important task, we are counting on you.] after thinking for a bit, Tsunade finally relented.

Tsunade: [*Sigh* I am tired of staying in the office. I am still training but I am getting rusty.] said smiling at Ryuji.

[Hokage-sama???]

[Lady Tsunade??]

Some Jounin were clueless about Tsunade sudden statement. Sayuri chuckle at her antics.

Mito: [Tsuna, you…. *sigh* be careful.] was about to argue but relented.

Ryu: [Than, I shall accompany, My lovely lady in this dance.]

Tsunade: [Very well, tomorrow I will head straight to Iwa's invasion with Ryu. I will let the Village management with Mito Uzumaki and Sayuri Senju.] gave her orders before dismissing her shinobi.
