Chapter 11 - A great war is coming.

"Haha I did it!" Shouted our dust-covered protagonist accompanied by about thirty clones that quickly dissipated, leaving him alone in his backyard, in each of his palms was a perfectly cut stone in half.

It had already been three days since he had sucess cut the leaf in two, succeeding in slightly understanding the wind attribute transformation, after that, he passed to the second stage consisting in materializing the wind from his Chakra, this stage was extremely hard!

Normally at this stage the ninja wishing to learn nature transformation had to find a way to quickly transform his chakra by releasing it into a constant flow and to achieve this result, he had the idea of replacing the leaf with stones.

He had been training continuously for 78 hours, he had summoned so many clones that his nose and ears had bled several times due to the side effect of the technique.(Due to the monstrous amount of information received by the brain in a short period of time.)

But he finally made it.

"Well now let's try." Says Nori ashedusted off his clothes, before taking a short sword from a purple sheath about 45cm long.

Then quickly draw the sword, before closing his eyes his concentration, a slight flow of blue air slowly covered the blade of the sword and as time passed, the air flow became more important, a slight flow of blue air slowly covered the blade of the swordand as time passed, the air flow became more important.

The wind around the sword began to swirl slightly around the blade raising dust and dead leaves on the yard floor.

Nori opened his eyes gradually before taking an attack posture and injected the entire chakra that he was able to release, creating a 2m wind blade superimposed at the sword.

*Crak* *Crak* *Crak*

But as he was about to launch an attack for test the power of the technique, the sword began to crack at moment before breaking completely, causing Nori dissipate the wind, who had a facial expression giving the impression that he had eaten shit.

"Did I get ripped off?" Did he think for a moment before shaking his head.

"Nature's transformative power far exceeds my expectations, the sword clearly could not resist that power."

"80,000 Ryô went up in smoke." Says he with a slight pain, it was like paying for Ifruit 11 before breaking it in the same week, it hurts the wallet! But when he thinked to the reward he had received a few days earlier, the pain disappeared quickly.

He had received a total of 3,000,000 Ryô for his success, thanks to this money he no longer had to worry about his wallet for at least a long time.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile, in his previous life, even though he had no family, he still had no worries about money, since all the members of his family were dead, he was the only legitimate successor to all their property, not to mention life insurance. (I feel sorry for the company that insures such a family!)

"Looks like I need to get a stronger sword." Says he with a low voice as he walks into the house.

A few minutes later, he left home but this time dressed in ninja outfit with a green vest and konoha front protection hanging from his forehead.

He would have liked to continue his training longer but the day before today, he and all the other Jonin and Chunin ninja of rank had received a scroll with new information that caused everyone to worry.

Apparently after the interrogation of some Iwa ninja who had destroyed several Outpost in the border and information obtained by a konoha ninja (Nori), Konoha confirmed the news of the participation of the other three ninja villages in the war.

This war had just gone from a war of interest between Konoha and Iwa to a war between the five great nations.

Thus began the real third great ninja war.

All ninja above Genin's rank present in the village were invited to attend the conference given by the third Hokage.

Nori quickly arrived in front of the building where the conference was taking place and after entering it saw a large number of ninjas all dressed in combat clothing standing upright while staring at the platform on which was standing the third Hokage, who reciting a speech.

Nori quietly entered the crowd of ninja as he listened to the end of the speech.

"So for the prosperity of the land of fire and our village we, ninja of konoha are ready to sacrifice our lives...."

"I the third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi officially declares war among all the four great ninja villages."

"As the elite of the village of konoha, you will be assigned the task of commanding and training the newly Genins."

Hearing the words pronounced by the Hokage, the various people present could not help but sigh slightly.

Even Nori was greatly surprised, the meaning of the words of the Hokage was clear in addition to the Genins already in service, Konoha's administration was going to send the aspiring Genins to the battlefield, it was the use of children as soldiers.

Although with the clashes against Iwa Genins were used as soldiers, but the sent Genins were normally at the end of their studies, but with this decision even the Genins just learning to use the chakra will be sent to the battlefield, i.e. children between 6 and 12 years old.

This made all the ninja present extremely calm, some even had reluctant expressions.

"You will be sent to the battlefield in two days, please prepare yourself by then."Says the Hokage aloud with a serious facial expression before leaving the room.

Then the ninjas quietly went in silence, Nori also left the room and walked the streets unbmoment and finally returning home immersed in his thoughts.
