Chapter 259： Iwagakure's war strategy

Chapter 259 Iwagakure’s War Strategy

After the training, the five people gathered at the dumpling shop again.

“Kakashi, where did you meet Minato-senpai this morning?” Obito asked impatiently.

“Have you ever asked Minato-senpai about Mugetsu-sensei’s preferences? You won’t forget it, right?”

Today is the last day they agreed to conceive the gift. No matter what, they must give the gift today.

"Do you think I am you? The reason why I am a little later than usual is because of this." Kakashi nodded and said with a little aggression because of the morning.

Hearing this, the other three people also looked at Kakashi, but what Kakashi said next made them a little disappointed.

"I asked, but Minato-senpai doesn't have the kind of information we want." Kakashi replied.

“I don’t know about Minato-senpai, maybe Muyue-sensei only has two hobbies: calligraphy and education, and doesn’t have any deep-hidden hobbies.” Obito sighed, feeling that his expectations were in vain.

He thought about it, even the disciples they got along with every day didn't know, so what could Minato Namikaze know.

"But I think what Minato-senpai said makes sense. Just like Xiaolin said before, just convey your feelings." Kakashi said seriously.

“Think about it, Teacher Muyue teaches us so that we can give him good gifts. No, as long as we practice seriously, he will be very happy.”

Several disciples were lost in thought, Mu Yue said this to them all.

"As long as your strength improves, it is the best reward for me." Matkai's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the first time he won the first place in the class in the actual combat examination, when Mu Yue said this to him. .

The longer he spent time with Mu Yue, the more he felt that Mu Yue's words came from the heart and were not beautiful words.

"Yes, the most important thing is to convey your thoughts to Kakashi." Metkai gave Kakashi a thumbs up and said with a look of approval.

“Indeed, Teacher Muyue probably doesn’t want us to be entangled in this matter and delay our cultivation.” Zhishui also nodded.

“Then let’s quickly discuss what to send.” Obito was no longer confused.

Nohara Lin looked at the faces of the four people, and suddenly a good idea came to her mind, so she smiled and said:

"How about we make a few small statues for Teacher Mu Yue. Everyone makes one that looks like themselves, and then everyone completes Teacher Mu Yue's statue together. Just do it as you usually practice, and when you are finished, put it in Together."

Kakashi thought about it for a while, and realized that both the division of labor and the meaning of the gift were very good, so he said, "I think it's okay."

“That’s great, Xiaolin, are you a genius?” Obito praised with a smile.

Metkay and Shisui thought about it and nodded in approval, thinking this gift was a good one.

“I just suddenly felt that this would be very good. Even if we are not with Teacher Muyue, our statue is still accompanying Teacher Muyue.” Nohara Lin said with a smile.

The vote was unanimously approved, and the joint gift to Mu Yue was finally decided. In the first three days, I will complete my own statue, and in the next two days, everyone will work together to complete Mu Yue's statue.

The matter of giving something as a gift was solved, but Obito soon faced a new problem. This thing was not easy to do.

When Obito returned home after buying the materials and equipment, he looked at the sculpture he had made, and finally sighed and threw it into the trash can.

“The art of shadow clone!”

Obito finally decided to use ninjutsu to help him, but he had to stay with Mu Yue. He didn’t need to be very good, at least he had to look like himself.

With this in mind, Obito bought a few more tools. The shadow clone didn't waste any time and started practicing as soon as it came out.

In addition to the gifts given by the group, Obito also did not forget the gifts he gave himself, and finally completed the drawings before going to bed.

“Fortunately, Xiaolin came up with a good idea, otherwise I would have been too busy.” Obito sighed in his heart.

Practicing sculpture will also help him make inkstones. If he changes to another one, he will definitely not be able to do it well.

"I wonder how others have finished?" Obito couldn't help but think of other people's sculptures while lying on the bed.

First of all, it was Nohara Lin who had sent him petrographic pictures. Nohara Lin was experienced and should be good at it.

As for Kakashi and Shisui, Obito may feel similar to him, after all, they can also shadow clones.

As for what Metkai said, Obito couldn’t say.

Three days passed quickly. On the fourth day, the five disciples gathered together with their finished products to prepare for the production of the Mu Yue statue.

Since we had to make something, the location was not at the dango shop, but at Kakashi’s house.

“Kakashi, you are so awesome, how did you do that?” Nohara Lin immediately saw the lifelike statue of Kakashi on the table.

She looked closer and saw that Kakashi had completed all the details. He was wearing a mask on his face, holding the White Fang short blade in his right hand, and looked like he was sprinting and slashing forward.

"Let me take a look." Obito, who had just walked in, heard Nohara Rin praising Kakashi so much, and he immediately sped over.

After seeing Kakashi’s sculpture, Obito swallowed back the words he had in mind. This level was really unsatisfactory.

"Obito, what do you think? I really feel like Kakashi." Nohara Lin looked at Obito and asked with a smile.

“It’s indeed okay, it’s quite similar, but I feel there’s still a lot of room for improvement.” Obito Dianping replied.

If it were the work of Nohara Rin, he would say that it is invincible, so powerful that it cannot be any more powerful, and it is exactly the same as himself. But this is Kakashi's work, and Obito can only say that it is okay, and he still needs to practice.

"Obito, your requirements are too high. I feel that they are already very powerful compared to mine." Nohara Rin put her sculpture on the table and said.

Obito looked at Nohara Rin's statue. Compared with Kakashi's, Nohara Rin's was indeed a little rough. The facial expression was okay, but the clothes and other features on his body were far from Kakashi's.

"I think Xiaolin, you did a great job, not much worse than Kakashi, but the style is different." Obito praised.

Kakashi:…

"Having said so much, Obito, why don't you take out yours and take a look?" Kakashi asked calmly.

His sculptures were carefully carved with earth and time. He did not believe that Obito could be better than him.

"Ahem, my style is different from yours, a little more rough." Feeling Nohara Rin's curious eyes, Obito also placed his statue on the table.

Kakashi looked towards the statue of Obito. Obito depicts himself using Fire Release. The palms of the statue are put together, the little finger and ring finger are crossed, and the remaining fingers are raised up. This is Yin Seal, Fire Release. The last seal is usually the Yin seal.

But Obito also carved his fingers clearly, the face was very rough, and the goggles Obito wears every day did not appear.

“It feels pretty good, the hand seal gestures are very standard.” Nohara Lin praised with a smile.

“It’s not as good as yours, Xiaolin, after all, I haven’t had much contact with it before.” Obito chuckled. "Only the seal movements are okay. The other parts are too rough and did you forget the goggles on your head?" Kakashi commented sharply.

Since his ones are just okay, then he will use Obito's standards to evaluate Obito's statues.

“I carved a day when I didn’t want to wear goggles.” Obito said stubbornly. In fact, it was because he couldn’t handle this well, so he just stopped doing it, and it took him a long time to get the seal on his fingers.

"Really, I was thinking that if you really can't do it, I can help you do it. In that case, forget it." Kakashi said with a look of regret.

Although he made crazy and sharp comments, Kakashi still wanted to make this gift to Muyue better, at least everyone should have their own appearance.

“Well…I…”

Obito wanted to see what Kakashi would do, but he couldn't say anything. It would be really fatal for him to ask Kakashi for help.

"Actually, I probably forgot to wear it that day. It's not that I didn't want to wear it. Kakashi, please help me." Obito finally spoke.

Although face is important, the gift given to Mu Yue is even more important.

“My dear friend, I’ve been waiting for a long time!” Metkai walked in at this time and said hello.

Kakashi responded to Metkai, then turned to Obito and asked: "I didn't hear what you just said."

Obito thought that Metkai had come at the wrong time. He felt very uncomfortable after saying it once, and he actually had to say it a second time.

"I asked you to help me. The statue forgot to bring goggles, thank you." Obito used all his strength to say this. After saying this, Obito felt as if he had ants crawling all over his body.

 Kakashi raised the corners of his mouth, and a thick smile appeared on his face. In fact, he heard it and said it on purpose.

Looking at the smile in Kakashi's eyes, Obito felt cheated for a moment, but he had no choice but to give him a look that you would remember and watched how Kakashi operated.

I saw Kakashi taking out the soil block, and then forming a seal and using the Earth Release Ninjutsu. Soon a goggle was completed. Then Kakashi put the goggles on Obito's statue and used Earth Release to adjust the size, and finally merged it into together.

“So you did it using ninjutsu!” Obito looked shocked, as if he had worked hard to complete his homework, and finally saw someone cheating and copying it in a few minutes.

"What's wrong with ninjutsu? Do you think it's easy to complete such delicate operations with Earth Release?" Kakashi said lightly.

Obito can't refute, and being able to use ninjutsu is also a skill.

In the end, the five people took out their sculptures, and Obito found a sculpture that was even rougher than his own, and that was Metkai's.

Maitkai carved himself using the Konoha Whirlwind, with one leg kicked out.

“Akai, do you want to do some more work on your face? It feels a little blurry.” Obito reminded.

“No need, I feel quite like me.” Metkay waved his hand and said.

“Indeed, the thick eyebrows and watermelon head can be recognized at a glance.” Kakashi gave his approval.

Metkai is indeed very rough, but all the features are revealed, making it easier to recognize than before Obito didn't have goggles.

The statue of Shisui shows him practicing with a short blade, holding the short blade in his right hand and stabbing forward.

"Shisui, your weapons are so exquisitely made." Nohara Rin discovered that the small short blade in the hand of Shisui's statue actually had many details.

“It took a lot of time.” Shisui nodded. The short blade on the statue was the one Mu Yue gave him as a birthday gift, and he spent most of his time on it.

"The head will be given to Kakashi, and the hands will be given to Obito..." Nohara Rin assigned work according to the strengths shown in the statues.

In addition to Mu Yue’s body, there are actually other parts to be done, such as the chassis of the statue, and scenes. For example, Nohara Lin wanted to make a broken tree next to her statue to make the training scene more realistic.

With the efforts of several people, Mu Yue’s statue was completed and the scene was enriched.

Mu Yue stands in the middle of the whole work with a cheerful smile. Mu Yue is surrounded by five disciples. In the north is Shisui who is practicing short blade, and next to him is the wooden man who was cut in half.

To the south is Obito, and the front of Obito is making an explosion mark on the chassis. To the west is Metkai, who is kicking several big trees. To the east is Kakashi, and there is a bullet in front of Kakashi. A chopped wooden pile, while to the southeast is Nohara Rin, next to a large broken tree.

“It’s finally finished, but it’s too difficult to carry such a big thing with you.” Obito wiped the sweat from his head and said.

“Put it over to the southern forest, and then give a gift to Teacher Muyue there.” Kakashi suggested.

The other four people all thought it was good. If they were carrying such a big thing, Mu Yue would definitely be able to detect something, and the surprise would not be that big.

So the five of them went to the southern forest together at night, and Kakashi used Earth Release to hide the gifts in the big box.

…

Tsuchokuni Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Building Conference Room.

“Sandaime, can such an action really allow Kumogakure to increase its troops to deal with Konoha?” A bearded Iwagakure elder was a little confused about Onoki’s plan.

The two major jinchuriki were sent out, and a large number of ninjas were hidden in the ninja village.

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of Kumogakure, they must think that we really don't have the strength to confront Konoha. In order to prevent us from withdrawing from the war, he will definitely send a stronger force to attack Konoha." Sitting on a high chair Onoki replied with a smile.

“When Kumogakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure are all deeply involved in the war, that will be the time for us to take action with all our strength.”

"But the relationship between Yunyin and us is not good. They should be wary of us." Another elder pointed out the problem.

Now the ninja world has entered a melee, and Kumogakure and Iwagakure are also in a state of war.

"That's why I want Kumogakure to look down on us even more. Kumogakure is reckless. They definitely wouldn't have thought that we still have an army of tens of thousands of ninjas." Ohnoki explained in detail the benefits of showing weakness to the enemy.

The Earth Kingdom is difficult to break in due to the terrain. Even if he shows weakness to those enemies, he must take this into consideration. For the weak and difficult Earth Kingdom, Kumogakure will definitely choose the Fire Kingdom and Konoha Ganjo.

Once they have a clear understanding of the other great ninja villages, it will be time for their Iwagakure army to take action.

“Sunagakure is weak, Kumogakure is reckless, and Konoha is also showing signs of decline. In the end, we, Iwagakure, will win this war!” Onoki said with confidence.

Once, their Iwagakure village went to Konoha to form an alliance and were humiliated. Onoki and his teacher, the Second Tsuchikage Mu, were both seriously injured. This time, he wanted Konoha to see the power of his Iwagakure village, so that Konoha was beaten to the point of actively attacking him. Iwagakure asks for peace.

"Before this, we cannot withdraw from the war and must continue to send ninjas to fight." Onoki arranged the next actions.

If he just stopped fighting, then other ninja villages would definitely have to be secretly wary of him.
