Starting with the usurpation of Akatsuki, the ninja world was overthrown.

Chapter 160 The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.

Chapter 160 The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.

Once the ninjas of the 2nd Mobile Battalion quickly maneuvered around the enemy lines, they blocked Tsuchimaki's last desperate counterattack from behind.

The outcome of this battle was now completely decided.

The support battalion and the perception battalion are still working together seamlessly, marking targets and using ninjutsu to mark names, with outstanding results!

Finally, after a brief rest, the assault battalion, led by Ya Yu, launched a second charge, completely demoralizing the new recruits in front of them.

A clean and decisive victory!

Civil Engineering fought bravely until the very last moment, still attempting to decapitate Raven Feather as the battle drew to a close.

Unfortunately, faced with an overwhelming disparity in numbers and discipline, he was intercepted by the assault battalion before he could even reach Raven Feather, and ultimately suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of ninjas, meeting a glorious end.

After the fight, Shiba Kiyokawa brought in a medical team to help treat both sides.

Post-war statistics showed that the new recruits were completely wiped out, while the veterans only suffered the loss of about twenty men.

These twenty-odd people were mainly the result of a surprise attack by twelve Jonin before they could fully deploy their formation.

It is reasonable to believe that if the veterans were to arrange their formations before the battle and wait in comfort, they would have a good chance of defeating an equal number of new recruits with only single-digit losses!

Even though these new recruits were themselves a group of ninjas with rich combat experience!

This result shocked the civil engineering guy and deeply impressed Deidara floating high in the sky.

"Incredible! No wonder he's an artist I admire! The Akatsuki truly is a temple of art!"

On the ground, Shiba Kiyokawa approached the somewhat distraught Civil Engineering guy.

The other person was still muttering in disbelief, "How could this happen?"

Shiba Kiyokawa chuckled and asked him, "What's your name?"

"My name is Kiyono Tetsuji."

"Are you unwilling to accept this? Isn't it strange that even though the ninja levels are similar, the actual difference in their fighting abilities is so great?"

"I……"

"Would you like to learn?"

"What?"

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

At that moment, the lifeless eyes of the civil engineering guy, Tetsuji Kiyono, suddenly lit up again.

"From now on, as long as you follow the arrangements, obey orders, and strictly abide by organizational discipline during training, it won't be long before you become one of them."

After finishing his sentence, Shiba Kiyokawa reached out and patted the Civil Engineering guy on the shoulder encouragingly.

Before this battle, such empty promises might have at best elicited perfunctory responses.

But now that this battle is over, everything has changed!

The Akatsuki organization truly demonstrated its power, not only extinguishing the flames of rebellion in the hearts of these troublemakers, but also rekindling the flames of aspiration in their hearts!

If the wonderful life in the Land of Rain in the past only attracted Tetsuji Kiyono and others to stay;

Now, with the Akatsuki displaying their power and Shiba Kiyokawa's patient persuasion, the "demon" before them is clearly stealing their souls!

"The future belongs to you. Even if your rank isn't very high when you first enlist, you have the strength of a Jonin, and the organization will definitely give you priority in the subsequent promotion process!"

If you're still not content with being commanded by Chunin, then finish your training as soon as possible and prove yourself on the battlefield with merits and achievements!

Finally, Shiba Kiyokawa's impassioned words of encouragement completely ignited the scattered fighting spirit and ambition in Kiyono Tetsuji's eyes!

With this, all twelve Jonin finally fell into the hands of Shiba Kiyokawa!

"What an unexpectedly bumper harvest!" Shiba Kiyokawa thought to himself with delight.

In the battle just now, although the recruits were completely overwhelmed, the twelve Jonin led by Kiyono Tetsuji still demonstrated impressive individual strength.

They are not ordinary Jonin; they are Jonin who meet the elite standards of a great ninja village, and they are Jonin without any exaggeration!

For the Akatsuki organization, which had just had a group of mid-level officers slaughtered by Minato Namikaze, this replenishment was very timely!

Shiba Kiyokawa's transformation of the Land of Rain and Akatsuki is gradually helping him attract talent from all over the ninja world!

Time is on his side.

Unfortunately, at the crucial moment when he needed the most time to develop, the wind wouldn't stop blowing.

Iwagakure came knocking on their door again.

Before the official meeting, Deidara, who was standing next to Huang Tu, kept winking at Shiba Kiyokawa.

In the end, he simply mouthed a warning: "Watch out! My master is coming!"

Finally, he was arrested on the spot by Huang Tu and punched hard on the head.

"You little idiot! Whose side are you on anyway?"

The loess soil is filled with resentment that iron cannot be turned into steel.

Recently, Huang Tu has been quite worried: Iwagakure finally produced a little genius with a bloodline limit, but after not seeing him for a few days, his mind is wandering more and more.

What kind of mess is this?!

"Your master?" Shiba Kiyokazu looked at Huang Tu strangely.

It wasn't until the latter reminded him, "This little brat's master is my father."

Shiba Kiyokawa then realized that it was Tsuchikage Onoki of the Two Scales who was coming.

Huang Tu was merely taking on apprentices on behalf of his father.

Although he usually taught Deidara, the kid was still registered under Onoki's name and was considered his junior brother, not his apprentice.

Upon hearing the news that Onoki was coming, Shiba Kiyokawa's expression also became serious.

This is a cunning old fox who's not easy to fool! Much harder to deal with than the simple-minded, honest loess.

Sure enough, not long after they met, Onoki said it directly.

"Kiyokawa-kun, or perhaps we should now call you Chief Kiyokawa, isn't it time to share with us the information you've obtained from Root?"

The old fox was indeed determined not to back down from the start.

However, compared to their initial attitude of not taking the Akatsuki organization seriously at all, their current bluffing only reveals their fear of them.

Now, one-third of the Land of Grass has fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki organization, and important mines have also been acquired. Seeing this, Shiba Kiyokawa finally stopped keeping them in suspense.

"We have received intelligence that Minato Namikaze plans to cut off your supply lines and return to the village to take up his post after achieving a glorious victory."

After receiving the information, Onoki first pretended to be angry and loudly cursed Konoha Village, expressing Iwagakure's determination that it would never compromise or back down.

But then, his eyes darted around, immediately making Shiba Kiyokaze a little wary.

"I am aware of this matter. I thank Chief Qinghe for sharing such important intelligence with us. We will pay more attention to the defense of the supply line from now on."

But then the old man changed the subject and started talking about other things.

"Simply defending will only embolden those bastards in Konoha."

"Chief of Qinghe, you young people are generally more energetic. Have you considered joining us in attacking the Land of Fire and teaching those bastards in Konoha a lesson?"

At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa narrowed his eyes, carefully examining Onoki, a faint, amused smile playing on his lips.

He realized: This cunning old fox was trying to outsmart him!

There will be another update tonight.
