The conference hall!
"Your Majesty~~~~"
Kushina and Mei Terumī stood there with miserable expressions, their eyes pitiful and full of tears.
Lucian pretended not to see.
It was fine for them to stay at home and play games for a few days without coming out.
But to pull in a dozen or so beautiful women to play together was too much!
Lucian: I haven't even played with so many beautiful women at once!
"Stand up straight! If you do this again, I will personally take care of you..."
Lucian's words immediately made Mei Terumī and Kushina's bodies tremble, and their expressions became solemn.
Their bodies and minds had grown up.
If they were to be spanked by His Majesty again like before, if word of this got out, they would lose face.
"Do you all know the mission requirements?"
Lucian sat on the throne and looked down, once again projecting the holographic map of the ninja world.
Not to mention the more than thirty countries marked on it, the several small countries around the Wandenreich were printed with the imperial emblem.
The imperial emblem's form: a pentagram.
"Your Majesty..."
Looking at the area covered by the pentagram, the first to speak was Kakashi Hatake.
It was his first time entering the conference hall in more than a decade.
Forcibly suppressing his curiosity about the surroundings and the excitement in his heart, Kakashi said:
"Your Majesty, the five countries of Bear, River, Waterfall, Bird, and Grass around the empire, the third battalion of the Soldat unit guarantees to take them all down before tomorrow night."
To enter the conference hall meant to enter the center of the empire's power, which Kakashi had always been looking forward to.
He had been a captain for two years.
From the perspective of the entire ninja world, he was also the one with the highest achievements and the strongest combat power among his peers.
But Kakashi disdained to compare himself with his peers!
Take Konoha.
Obito Uchiha?
What's that? Never heard of him!
Might Guy?
I fought with his father two years ago!
Asuma?
I'll beat up your father another day!
But now, it was getting stricter and stricter to enter the Holy Legion.
Under normal development, it would probably take another dozen years to get in.
Kakashi was looking forward to it.
Pakura also immediately said, "The first battalion of the Soldat unit is willing to share Your Majesty's worries."
Yugito Nii also said, "The second battalion of the Soldat unit is willing to share Your Majesty's worries!"
Seeing this, Kakashi's eyebrows arched slightly.
These two women were also his seniors.
But he would not give up this opportunity.
"Alright..."
Lucian didn't care about the few small countries.
It wasn't worth the members of the Holy Legion making a move.
Apart from Kushina and Mei Terumī, who had to go out to avoid dying from staying at home, he could just leave it to the Soldat unit.
The top five captains of the army were all at the Kage-level.
The next five captains could also hold their own against a conventional Kage-level for a long time.
The company commanders were elite Jonin, and the squad leaders were Jonin.
Lucian glanced at the map and continued, "The three of you will each lead a battalion. Kushina and Mei Terumī will each lead a battalion."
"Remember to bring the new recruits of your respective battalions this time. Let them see some blood."
"Set off!"
A soldier who hasn't seen blood lacks bloodlust.
The Soldat who had killed their way out of the parallel world before were all full of bloodlust.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
The Soldat unit assembled!
The five great armies moved out.
Each army had about a thousand people.
Especially after hearing that all the new recruits also needed to go to war in the mission, the army was in an uproar.
For example, the people of the eighth squad of the fifth company of the third battalion were excited.
"Hahahaha! After two years of hard training, it's finally my, Lord Hidan's, turn to make a move! You trash, die..."
Hidan gently stroked his hair and slicked his silver hair back.
At such a young age, his posture was extremely arrogant.
Deidara pouted, "The mission is to take down the Land of Bears. It's not challenging at all!"
"As long as His Majesty opens his mouth, I dare to kill my way to Konoha now!"
The young Kimimaro said calmly, "The ninth iron law of the army: you can despise all opponents verbally, but you cannot underestimate any enemy strategically. You must go all out against any opponent."
Hidan and Deidara were bewildered.
Is there such an iron law?
I don't know?
Looking at the two confused fools, Itachi Uchiha was puzzled, "The first thing to do when you join the army is to memorize the ninety-nine iron laws, right? It's related to the monthly and yearly exams?"
"SMACK!"
Deidara directly slapped the back of Itachi's head, "You new recruit! Are you questioning me, your senior?"
Itachi Uchiha: "..."
Why did you hit me again!
The five-year-old Itachi, since he had joined the Soldat unit, had often asked similar questions.
Hidan and Deidara had taken turns beating him up. He, who had just experienced the baptism of spiritual power, was completely unable to resist.
Hidan: That's how I was. This is the baptism of the army!
Seeing that Itachi was being beaten up again and was sad, Kimimaro comforted him, "It's good to get used to it."
"Captain Kakashi once beat Hidan and Deidara until they shit, and then beat them into the shit, and finally beat them with their own shit."
"..."
Itachi Uchiha was dumbfounded!
Hiss, isn't that too ruthless?
That scene is so stimulating!
Hidan recalled, "That was two years ago. It didn't feel bad."
Deidara chuckled, "That's right! It's so nostalgic! Hm!"
Itachi Uchiha: "..."
Is there something wrong with your reaction?
Recalling and being nostalgic?
Beaten until you shit? Beaten into the shit? Smashed with shit?
"..."
In the distance, looking at the four brats and the silent Jūgo, Kakashi had a headache again.
If he could do it over, he would choose older ones.
Kakashi walked onto a high platform and looked at the tenth battalion coldly, "Listen to me! This mission is related to the honor of my tenth battalion, and even more so to the development plan of the empire."
"Whoever dares to disobey military orders and cause trouble, don't blame me for being merciless."
At this, Kakashi saluted solemnly and shouted loudly!
"For the glory of the empire!"
"Before us, there are no enemies!"
In that instant, all the members of the tenth battalion stood up straight, saluted, and shouted loudly, their voices shaking the heavens!
"For the glory of the empire!"
"Before us, there are no enemies!"
Full of momentum and high morale, Kakashi waved his hand.
"The tenth battalion, target: the Land of Bears! Set off!"
Not far away, the first, second, fourth, and fifth battalions all shouted!
The five great armies swept out!
"That's the spirit..."
On a tall building, Lucian looked at the five great armies that were setting off in a neat and solemn manner, slightly satisfied.
The strength of an army lies in its quality, not its quantity.
A general's strength lies in his strategy, not his courage.
What Lucian pursued was for every Soldat to be an elite, and then to form a king of team battles.
Any other ninja village squad that encountered them would be in for a nightmare.
"Hiss, what are they doing again?"
"That's... Kakashi Hatake! He's also moving out! Is he going to fight some Kage to a draw to solidify his title?"
"Look there! The former Queen of Explosions, Kushina Uzumaki, has reappeared in the ninja world! And that curly-haired woman is also an elite of the Holy Legion."
"Hiss, could it be that the ninja world war is starting now?"
"...Quick! Quickly send the news back!"
"..."
The five great armies moved out from the four city gates separately, which immediately made the spies of the various countries and villages nervous.
Nearly ten days ago, the full-scale mobilization had scared the entire ninja world.
It was also because of this that the other ninja villages had not agreed to Mount Myōboku's cooperation plan.
But ten days had passed, and only then did everyone discover that the empire's full-scale mobilization this time was not aimed at any country.
Even so, they could not be careless.
The major ninja villages, which had been making their final preparations, were immediately on alert after receiving the news.
"The Wandenreich..."
Then, the various Kage couldn't help but smile bitterly.
They hadn't even figured out their purpose.
Any slight movement from the empire, and they were so nervous. They were really getting worse and worse.
The tenth battalion's target was the Land of Bears.
But what Kakashi didn't know was that Konoha also had a small team that was heading to the Land of Bears for a mission.
It was for a certain rock there, to increase Konoha's strength.
If he knew, Kakashi would definitely say:
Thank you, Konoha, for offering your heads!
The Land of Grass!
It was sandwiched between the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, the Wandenreich, and the Land of Waterfalls.
In the original timeline, this was an important battle zone in the Third Shinobi World War. A certain someone named Obito had died in battle (disappeared) here.
Although the Land of Grass was not large, it was very famous in the entire ninja world.
The reason was that there was a world-famous city here.
Its name was: Hozuki Castle!
It was located on a small island near the Village Hidden in the Grass in the Land of Grass.
Hozuki Castle: a prison specially built by the Village Hidden in the Grass on the commission of the various countries to imprison ninja who had committed crimes.
The island was named after a kind of physalis fruit called 'Hozuki' that grew all over it.
And today!
A thousand-man army had forcefully broken through the Land of Grass's defensive line. Three hundred men had marched into the capital of the Land of Grass.
"Damn it! Why are they attacking here!"
"Quick! Sound the alarm! Stop them!"
"Run! The Wandenreich is killing people."
Blooming everywhere, the Land of Grass was in chaos.
The capital's gate was instantly broken.
The other seven hundred men were marching towards the Village Hidden in the Grass.
At the same time!
At the entrance of the Village Hidden in the Grass, a few middle-aged Grass ninja were shouting.
"Quick! Chase after them!"
"You damn woman! I was kind enough to take you and your daughter in, and you're running!"
"If I catch you, I'll lock you up!"
"..."
The few Grass ninja's faces were fierce, and their eyes were filled with greed!
The one who was fleeing was a red-haired woman, who was holding a two or three-year-old red-haired girl in a sorry state.
The two women were unharmed, but one could see that the woman's exposed arm was covered in teeth marks.
"Mother, are you alright..."
The little red-haired girl's eyes were full of tears, and her whole body was dirty.
Who knows why, but she was wearing glasses at such a young age.
"Get out of my way!"
The red-haired woman erupted with an amount of chakra that was difficult for an ordinary ninja to achieve, and some chakra chains appeared.
The few Grass ninja were directly sent flying by the chains.
Then the woman looked at the child in her arms and said firmly, "Don't worry. Mother will definitely take you away from here..."
BAM!
Suddenly, a huge force kicked her away.
A Grass ninja landed on the ground with indifference and waved his hand, "Take them!"
Many Grass ninja rushed over.
Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but despair and tightly held the girl in her arms.
Her chakra was purely a matter of her constitution, but she herself was not very strong.
To be able to escape to the entrance this time was purely a matter of luck.
"Am I going to be a tool again..."
The moment the mother and daughter were in despair, a domineering female voice exploded, which made the Grass ninja's eardrums ring. The mother and daughter, however, seemed to have heard the sound of nature.
"Kushina Uzumaki is here!"
"Let's see who dares to move!"
WOW
