Chapter 192 Progress, Education
In Chiyo's backyard, by the pond, Chiyo and Ebizo were leisurely fishing, completely unaffected by the storms and turmoil outside.
Even when the Fourth Kazekage visited, they were treated with indifference. Although this Kazekage was only acting, it was enough to show the mentality of the two.
"Elder Chiyo, the outside world is in an uproar. Are you just going to ignore it like this?" Rasa was getting anxious. He had been watching the two elders fish for an hour, and his already limited patience had long since worn off.
"It's not that we're ignoring it, but things have come to this point, what's there to hesitate about?" Chiyo asked Rasa, puzzled.
"For every gain, there is a loss. Since Kazekage has chosen this path, why be so hesitant now?" Ebizo added.
Indeed, given Sunagakure's current situation, it's impossible for them to take a bite out of Konoha without launching the first attack. If Sunagakure doesn't find an outlet for its frustrations, it will explode internally first.
At that point, it won't be a question of whether or not we can bite Konoha, but whether or not we'll be bitten back.
The Kazekage's purpose in coming here was simply to gain the support and approval of these two elders. Now that they have said so, the battle can begin. After all, if it doesn't start soon, Sunagakure will be finished!
Soon, all sorts of rumors were spreading rapidly throughout Sunagakure.
Some say that Konoha did not abide by the alliance treaty and helped Sunagakure attack Iwagakure.
Some say that the Third Kazekage was assassinated by Konoha in collusion with Iwagakure.
Some even say that during the battle between Sunagakure and Iwagakure, Konoha sent elite ninjas to ambush and kill Sunagakure ninjas.
In short, all sorts of rumors detrimental to Konoha spread everywhere, quickly forming a force targeting Konoha.
This power is lying dormant, brewing, but clearly, the day it erupts is not far off.
Konoha, Taiichi family.
After nearly a month of effort, Taiyi's improvements to the Flying Thunder God Technique have finally achieved a phased result.
Taiyi's original idea was too idealistic. In actual operation, even with Taiyi's current abilities, he was still unable to realize a new technique that integrates perception, feedback, and reverse communication in a short period of time.
The unfinished product developed by Taiyi currently lacks the most important sensing ability. It's not that Taiyi can't complete this function. If Taiyi is given another month, it is believed that it can be completely perfected.
But time was running out. Today, Taichi received orders from the Hokage, and his team would once again—
They were dispatched to the southern battlefield, but this time they were not sent on a mission as before. Instead, they joined the ninja army and went to the front line to receive orders.
The departure time is set for tomorrow morning.
This forced Taiyi to stop the research, but thankfully, although it was a semi-finished product, the basic functions were already completed, only the original fully automatic mode had been changed to the current semi-automatic mode.
Looking at the brand-new Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, since they lack the perception module, they can only be activated by the holder to call on Taiyi from afar for support.
Although it differs from the design, the current functionality is sufficient. As long as Taiyi takes the time to study it, it can eventually be improved. Therefore, Taiyi will no longer invest in that skill point.
After a month of hard work, Taiyi's achievements are not just a half-finished product; his strength in all aspects has been comprehensively improved.

Comment: Go for it, young man, you're ready. The village is too comfortable; the battlefield is your true home.
Ignoring the annoying comments, Taiyi's other abilities have been progressing steadily over the past month. His wind and water attributes have finally reached level 12, following his fire attribute.
The change in ice attribute was also stimulated, directly increasing proficiency by 1000 points.
It can be described as a double celebration.
With such abilities as a foundation, Taiichi was full of confidence in safely surviving the Third Shinobi World War. He believed that even if he encountered the dying Uchiha Madara, he could easily survive, even if he couldn't defeat him.
Holding the latest specially made Flying Thunder God kunai, Taichi went straight to the hospital to find Nonou.
When Taiichi found Nonou, the students following her had changed again. This time, the medical ninjas who had just learned a little bit of the basics were also transferred to the southern front.
The current Konoha Hospital is like a large factory. A large number of students who have just mastered chakra are sent here to learn some basic medical knowledge and first aid techniques temporarily, and then they are quickly sent to the front line.
Those who are capable can continue to learn in subsequent practice, while those who are mediocre may be killed by the enemy in some mission, leaving only a name on the memorial stone.
Taking advantage of Nono's free time, Taiichi pulled her into his office and stuffed the Flying Thunder God kunai he had prepared into her hand.
"Nonou-neechan, this is a Flying Thunder God kunai that I made specially. If you ever encounter any danger that you can't withstand, just inject your chakra into this kunai, and I can use the Flying Thunder God to come and help you."
Nonou looked at the kunai in her hand with some surprise. She really didn't expect it to have such a function. But then she thought that if she encountered such a situation, what use would it be if Taiichi came over? So she made up her mind that she would not use it even if she really encountered danger.
As if sensing Nonou's thoughts, Taichi added, "My sister might not fully understand my current strength. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if I can't win, escaping is still very easy. So if you encounter any danger, be sure to call me!"
Seeing Tai's unusually serious gaze, Nonou knew he was telling the truth. She felt a surge of relief and a deep sense of security. "Don't worry, I understand. I'll definitely do as you say when needed!"
With Nonou's affirmative reply, Taichi finally felt relieved. With the dual protection of the sealing talisman and the Flying Thunder God Technique, unless the enemy was really strong enough to kill Nonou in one blow, he would eventually be able to rescue her.
This is not in vain for my tireless efforts over the past month. Being able to protect the people I care about is the best reward for all the hard work I've put in during this time.
The war broke out more suddenly than expected. That very afternoon, a declaration of war was sent to Konoha and spread throughout the entire ninja world.
The Sand Village, citing the lack of assistance from its ally Konoha during the Sandstone War, brazenly broke its alliance agreement and declared war on Konoha.
What a flimsy excuse! Just a few days ago they were fighting tooth and nail with Iwagakure, and now they're declaring war on Konoha. Anyone with eyes can see that Sunagakure and Iwagakure have reached a tacit agreement to jointly deal with Konoha.
At the same time, an urgent communication from Jiraiya on the front lines was delivered to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The Sand Village has assembled 3000 ninja troops, personally led by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and entered the Land of Rivers yesterday at noon. Jiraiya has already ordered his troops to consolidate their defenses, and the two sides are currently engaged in a small-scale battle within the Land of Rivers.
A tense atmosphere instantly filled the entire village of Konoha. Although small-scale battles had been taking place around Konoha since the beginning of the year, they were too far away from the villagers, so they didn't really feel it. Some were even unaware that the border had begun to become unstable.
-
This time, Sunagakure's formal declaration of war completely shattered the peace of Konoha. The shadow of war quickly enveloped the entire village as the declaration of war was sent. Both ninjas and civilians knew that war had come.
Shops reacted the fastest, with prices of all kinds of daily necessities rising rapidly, and villagers also panic-buying various supplies.
Taiyi walked through the chaotic streets. Although he knew that this was just a brief frenzy caused by fear, and that most people would go back to doing what they were doing once their emotions calmed down, he could still see the fear that everyone had of war.
Just then, an ANBU ninja wearing an animal mask suddenly appeared in front of Taiichi.
"Special Jonin Matsushita Taichi, the Hokage has ordered you to immediately assemble your squad at the village entrance. Support troops will depart for the front lines in one hour."
Taiyi was slightly taken aback. It seemed that the situation at the front was really tense. The village was not even willing to wait a night.
"Yes, sir! I will obey your orders, Hokage!"
Taiyi immediately agreed, and the Anbu then vanished in an instant, apparently to inform the others.
Taiyi didn't dare to hesitate. Time was of the essence, so he immediately sent two shadow clones to notify Yangping and Saori, while his main body rushed home and retrieved the various supplies he had prepared: medicine, kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, and spare short swords.
This trip isn't something I'll be back in a month or two, so I can't be careless with my supplies; I have to bring everything I can.
Especially the various special medicines made on a regular basis, those are life-saving things, but when you really get to the battlefield, you may not even be able to find all the materials to make them on the spot.
After finishing packing, it was almost time, so Taiyi left home without delay and headed straight for the village entrance.
Meanwhile, at the village entrance, more than a hundred ninjas had arrived one after another. They gathered in small groups of two or three, discussing in hushed tones the Sand Village's declaration of war against the Leaf Village.
Some were filled with righteous indignation and cursed the Sand Village for being ungrateful.
Some were filled with excitement, eager to seize this opportunity to make a name for themselves.
Some were worried, wondering if they could survive the war.
When Taichi arrived, he was greeted by this lively scene. Overall, Konoha's morale was still very high. After all, just two months ago, the southern front, led by Jiraiya, had given Sunagakure a sound beating.
If war breaks out again at this time, the Konoha ninjas will still have a strong psychological advantage.
Taiichi quickly found his team in the crowd. They were with Kakashi and the others, and Yohei and Obito were arguing heatedly. Obito's face was flushed with excitement, clearly a little carried away.
When Taiyi got closer and listened, he immediately knew that Yangping was looking for an opportunity to teach Obito a lesson, but the way he was teaching him was a bit harsh!
"Obito, I've heard you're quite the ladies' man, but it turns out all your suitors are old ladies!" Yangping said with an exaggerated expression.
"Who—who said that!" Obito flailing his arms, vehemently defending himself, "I just happened to run into a lot of elderly ladies today. They work so hard, of course I had to help them!"
After hearing Obito's explanation, Kakashi rolled his eyes, and Rin smiled helplessly. It was perfectly normal for this kind of thing to happen to Obito.
Saori, on the other hand, was completely bewildered and listened with utter confusion.
"If I hadn't happened to see you, you might still be helping the old lady cross the street, and who knows when you would have been able to get to the meeting."
Yangping's tone had become somewhat somber, but Obito clearly hadn't grasped its meaning yet.
"It's okay, I can make it. It's just crossing the street, it'll be quick!" Obito was still trying to justify himself, clearly having forgotten who the person who was always late since his school days was.
At this moment, Kakashi and Rin could no longer remain indifferent. They also realized that Yohei was taking this opportunity to reprimand Obito, and they stared at Obito seriously.
For a ninja, having no sense of time can be a fatal flaw.
"Not to mention that this is an emergency assembly to support the front line, if you are late, will you be considered a deserter?"
For example, if Lin is fighting desperately against the enemy and waiting for rescue, but you die because your rescue is not timely, what should you do?
I heard you're often late because you're helping others. Is that what you mean by being able to make it on time?
Every word Yangping uttered felt like a sharp thorn piercing Obito's heart, leaving him speechless and his heart heavy. The thought of Rin collapsing in a pool of blood because he couldn't reach her in time made Obito's heart clench.
"I—I—can't—how could I!"
Obito opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
Lin felt a pang of pity and was about to speak when Kakashi grabbed her arm. This was a rare opportunity; if they could correct Obito's bad habit of being late, it would be a great thing for both him and the team.
"You should act within your means. Since you like helping old ladies so much, why don't you learn Shadow Clone Technique? Don't tell me you can't learn it. The truth is you haven't even tried to learn it. Don't you think there's something wrong with your attitude?"
"We're at war now. If you continue like this, would you rather die on the battlefield first, or see Rin or Kakashi die before you?!"
"No—please—stop talking!"
Obito was now covering his ears, his face full of dejection, showing none of the fierce and aggressive demeanor he had just displayed.
Tai, who was standing not far away, thought that Yangping had finished educating him, so he walked up and gently patted Yangping's shoulder, indicating that he could stop. If he continued like this, it would be bad if he really made Obito break down.
Yangping, having received a signal from Taiyi, took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He was really angered by Obito today. In fact, he ran into Obito not long after he went out and witnessed him helping three old ladies find their way.
If it weren't for the fact that the meeting time was approaching and he had personally dragged Obito here, who knows if Obito would have encountered some other strange old lady.
