This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 147 Pre-War Meeting

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat at the head of the long table, his straw hat, a symbol of supreme power, casually placed aside.

He held the declaration of war from Sunagakure in his hand, his fingers turning slightly white from the pressure.

On both sides of the long table, all of Konoha's top officials were present.

Advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu wore solemn expressions, while Jiraiya, who had just returned to the village, was gulping down tea to refresh himself. Tsunade stood with her arms crossed, her brows furrowed. Orochimaru seemed to be deep in thought, a thoughtful expression on his face.

At the other end of the long table sat the core of Konoha: Sakumo Hatake, the captain of the Anbu; Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the police force; and Shikaku Nara, the leader of the Jonin squad.

As for Nishikawa Tetsu and Namikaze Minato, although they were already Jonin and had made significant achievements in their respective fields, they were not qualified to attend this highest strategic meeting that would determine the fate of the village, as they were still relatively inexperienced.

"Everyone already knows the situation."

The third generation tapped his pipe on the corner of the table, the crisp sound instantly silencing the whispers in the conference room.

"Sunagakure has officially declared war, citing the reason that Sakumo Hatake assassinated the Third Kazekage."

All eyes instantly turned to the silver-haired man who had recently escaped the vortex of public opinion.

Sakumo Hatake sat upright in his chair, his expression unchanged despite the stares of the crowd.

"To fabricate a charge against someone."

Shuo Mao spoke calmly and steadily.

"When I infiltrated the Land of Wind last time, I retreated without even seeing the Kazekage. This was just an excuse Chiyo made up to divert attention from internal conflicts."

"Of course we know you didn't do it."

Mitokado Homura adjusted his glasses, his tone serious: "But the problem is, the people of Sunagakure believe it, and their ninjas believe it too. Sunagakure is currently in a frenzy of revenge."

"According to intelligence from the front lines." Nara Shikazuchi spread a huge map on the table, tracing the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind with his finger.

"The main force of Sunagakure is gathering here, and the vanguard has already crossed the Land of Rivers and is approaching the Kikyo Mountain defense line on the border of the Land of Fire. This time they are serious, and almost all of their puppet troops have been mobilized."

"Mount Kikyo..."

The third generation looked at the map, his brows furrowed.

"We can't let them cross the border. This battle must be fought, and it must be fought well!"

He raised his head, his gaze sharp, and finally fixed on Sakumo Hatake.

"Shuomao".

"Yes." Sakumo Hatake stood up.

"Since Chiyo specifically asked for you, then you will be in charge of this first battle."

"I appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front, in command of the border defense forces and the First and Second Battalions. You must halt the Sunagakure's offensive at the Kikyo Mountain line and prevent them from advancing an inch!"

"yes!"

There was no fear in Sakumo Hatake's eyes, only fighting spirit.

After assigning the commanders, the Third Hokage turned his gaze to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru.

This sound interrupted Orochimaru's thoughts on the next experiment.

"As the director of the scientific research institute, I'd like to hear how much of your equipment is actually usable in real-world applications?"

This question from the third generation made everyone prick up their ears.

Over the years, the research institute's enormous spending has been evident to all. Currently, the technology being used on a large scale is mainly for civilian applications, and now it's time to test the results.

"Don't worry, teacher."

Orochimaru stood up, pulled a detailed list from his sleeve, and casually tossed it onto the table.

"Although our vice president has been involved in a lot of civilian technology, we have never been idle in the military field either."

Orochimaru extended a pale finger and tapped the list:

"First, military radio. This is a communication device that does not require hand seals or chakra. After multiple improvements by researchers, the communication range is between ten and twenty kilometers, depending on the terrain."

"No chakra needed?" Nara Shikano's eyes lit up. "This is revolutionary for the command system."

"Secondly, the battlefield first aid kit." Orochimaru glanced at his old teammate Tsunade beside him. "This was developed under Tsunade's leadership, with the assistance of that Uzumaki clanswoman named Mizuki and the pharmacist Nonou. It contains high-purity antibiotics, coagulant, and painkillers."

"third……"

Orochimaru paused, a strange smile curving his lips.

"Although we've added many restrictions to the electromagnetic cannon for safety, it's still powerful enough to penetrate multiple puppets with a single shot when used against the Sand Village's prized puppets. We've also stocked up on quite a few chakra batteries in our vault."

The atmosphere in the meeting room became noticeably more relaxed after listening to Orochimaru's report.

The Third Hokage nodded in satisfaction. "Orochimaru, you are in full charge of logistical and technical support for this campaign."

"Understood." Orochimaru licked his lips.

Then, the Third Hokage looked at Tsunade.

"How's the medical ninja reform going? How effective is it on the battlefield?"

Tsunade reported, "The factory has been working overtime these past few months to equip most of the medical ninjas with electromagnetic guns."

"The medical department has now added a shooting test. If you fail the test, you will not be able to get a medical ninja license."

"Therefore, many medical ninjas have begun to systematically learn shooting skills, and with the tactical maneuvers I designed, I believe they will definitely catch the enemy off guard on the battlefield."

Inspired by merchants obtaining safety certifications, she decided that all future medical ninjas must be certified to work, and those who have already become medical ninjas must undergo an examination at the medical department.

Originally, it was met with opposition from many medical ninjas, but after hearing that even Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, had to take the medical department's exam, the others obediently went to take the exam as well.

"Very good." The Third Hokage took a sip of tea and looked at the last disciple.

"Jiraiya..."

"You and Tsunade are on standby as a mobile support force. Iwagakure and Kumogakure are still observing; I need you to deter other directions."

"Understood, old man." Jiraiya nodded earnestly.

"In addition, the Fugaku Police Department is responsible for guarding the village and preventing enemy spies from taking advantage of the chaos to cause sabotage."

Fugaku stood up and bowed slightly: "Don't worry, Hokage. The police department has been monitoring those spies who think they haven't been exposed yet, and will be investigating other spies more carefully in the near future."

……

After the meeting, in the police department building, in the captain's office.

Nishikawa Toru and Namikaze Minato were sitting on the sofa waiting when they saw Fugaku push the door open and they immediately stood up.

"How was it, senior?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked.

"War has been declared."

Fugaku took off his hat, his face was solemn, but his eyes revealed a fighting spirit.

He walked to the water dispenser, filled a glass with water, drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at the two of them.

"The Hokage has appointed Sakumo-senpai as the commander-in-chief of the western front, to defend Mount Kikyo to the death. Orochimaru-sama will be in charge of logistics, while Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama will provide support as mobile forces."

"As expected of Sakumo-senpai."

Nishikawa Tetsu was not surprised; it was just as he had expected.

"Furthermore, the Hokage specifically mentioned the research institute at the meeting."

Fugaku looked at Nishikawa Tetsuya with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Director Orochimaru reported on the status of the radio, first aid kits, and electromagnetic cannon. The higher-ups are taking these things very seriously."

"Che, your inventions are going to be put to the real test on the battlefield this time."

"Minato, you should also get ready." Fugaku turned to look at Minato. "Although you weren't directly assigned to the vanguard this time, as a user of the Flying Thunder God Technique, you and your squad may be transferred to carry out special missions at any time."

"I understand," Minato said solemnly. "Be prepared at all times."

"Since that's the case..."

……

At the entrance to Konoha Village, the night was deep.

A large number of ninjas are gathering, and a chilling atmosphere pervades the air.

Sakumo Hatake, dressed in full military uniform and carrying a short white sword, was making final preparations.

"Senior Sakumo."

Nishikawa Tetsu emerged from the shadows, carrying a black metal box.

"Che?" Shuo Mao stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at him. "What brings you here?"

"I've come to deliver something."

Nishikawa Tetsu handed over the box.

"This is a specially debugged radio command terminal; the frequency is encrypted. Also..."

He took a glass bottle out of his pocket, which contained a pale green liquid.

"This is Lady Tsunade's latest medical potion, three times more effective than those on the market. While it can't bring the dead back to life, it can keep someone on their toes when severely injured."

Sakumo took the things, looked into Nishikawa Tetsu's calm eyes, and suddenly smiled.

He reached out his large hand and vigorously ruffled Nishikawa Tetsu's hair, just like he would with Kakashi.

"Don't worry, I'm not so old that the younger generation needs to worry about me."

Shuo Mao carefully put the medicine away from his body, his expression softening.

"However, I appreciate your kind gesture."

"Senior, you must come back alive. Pay special attention to the puppeteer," Nishikawa Tetsu said earnestly. This battle might very well involve encountering that genius boy from Sunagakure—Sasori.

After all, Sasori killed the Third Kazekage to avenge his parents, and he was after White Fang.

However, Nishikawa Tetsu didn't believe that Sasori would be able to get his revenge this time, as White Fang was no pushover.

"good!"

Shuo Mao turned around and looked at the assembled troops.

"Set off!"

The army set off and disappeared into the vast night.

Nishikawa Tetsu stood there, watching Sakumo's departing figure, feeling somewhat sentimental.

The flapping of the butterfly's wings has stirred up a storm once again.

In the original story, Konoha's White Fang, who was supposed to die, has now become the supreme commander who resists the invasion of Sunagakure.
