Chapitre 105: We Meet Again
After eating, he said goodbye to Tsunade and the others. With Konan by his side, he left the camp and headed to the battlefield against Kumogakure.
He would definitely take Konan with him. She had just refined her chakra and was barely stronger than an ordinary person. Mikoto and the others might not be able to protect her properly on the battlefield.
Chen moved quickly, using his teleportation technique to travel. As long as it was within his line of sight, he could teleport directly to the desired location.
With the Tenseigan, he could have a panoramic view of hundreds of kilometers, so in less than a minute, he had already reached the battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure.
That was the advantage of teleportation. Even using the Pika-Pika no Mi, he wouldn't have arrived so quickly.
"Who...?" exclaimed Yi Uchiha, looking at Hyuga Chen in surprise, who had suddenly appeared in the tent.
Chen raised a hand, casually greeting while holding Konan in his other arm. "Hello, Uchiha patriarch! We meet again."
With a mocking smile, he deliberately ignored Yi's sullen expression. Without bothering to seek permission, he approached and sat comfortably in a chair, placing Konan on his lap.
Yi gritted his teeth as Chen spoke. "Entering where I'm not wanted... you know, it's a bad habit of mine," he added sarcastically, his smile widening as he observed the irritation reflected in Yi's eyes.
Yi closed his eyes for a moment, trying to maintain his composure. When he opened them again, he looked at Chen defiantly, but before he could say anything, Chen pulled out a letter and threw it in front of him.
"Don't act high and mighty in front of me," he said in a now cold tone. "The Hokage has appointed me as commander, and now this battlefield is under my control."
Taking the letter with trembling hands, Yi's eyes scanned the scroll, and his face darkened. Anger welled up in his heart, and the feeling of humiliation weighed on him.
To be replaced by a ten-year-old kid? And worse, by this kid! He couldn't believe what was happening.
Although he had heard the rumors about Chen, he belonged to the group that didn't believe them. This brat killing seven thousand ninjas in one strike? Using the Susanoo?
Nonsense! The Susanoo was an exclusive power of his Uchiha clan.
Killing seven thousand ninjas in one strike was even more ridiculous. Even if it were the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, it wouldn't be something so outrageous.
The other clan leaders present in the tent had faint smiles on their faces. No one liked the Uchiha, and seeing Yi replaced as commander was a source of satisfaction for many of them.
The Hyuga clan patriarch smiled even more broadly. No matter what, Chen was still a Hyuga, and seeing one of their own take command was something that filled him with pride.
"I don't agree," said Yi, throwing the letter on the table.
Chen let out a cold laugh. "Haha~~? Who do you think you are? Do you think I need your consent?" he mocked, and immediately an imposing aura began to surge from his body, like a wave of dark energy that quickly expanded throughout the tent, pressing directly on Yi.
The air in the tent became dense, almost impossible to breathe.
The atmosphere filled with an oppressive energy that made everyone feel an enormous weight on their shoulders.
It was an unparalleled power, overwhelming, crushing Yi from within. He felt as if a mountain was pressing on his chest, his lungs struggling for a single breath of air.
His legs trembled, his whole body shook under the pressure.
The other leaders watched in horror, not daring to intervene. Chen's pressure felt like an invisible claw squeezing every part of the tent.
"Get out!" ordered Chen in an icy, penetrating voice, as he took Konan's hand and calmly walked to the position of the camp chief.
Yi, visibly trembling, abandoned the commander's position without being able to resist. Humiliation was clearly reflected on his face as he tried to maintain his composure, barely able to lift his gaze.
Chen watched him with disdain before turning and taking a seat in the commander's position.
He leaned back in the seat, his eyes scanning the tent calmly. "From today on, I will be the commander here," he said coldly.
His gaze slowly traveled through the tent, observing each of the leaders present. "As long as I occupy the position of commander, you will follow my orders without question. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless," he declared in a cold voice as his murderous aura intensified, filling the place with an atmosphere of terror.
His aura wasn't simply intimidating; it was an overwhelming, almost tangible sensation that seemed to strangle everyone there.
The intensity of the killing aura seemed to tint the atmosphere a dark red.
At that moment, they understood that the rumors were true: Chen had killed seven thousand ninjas. The intensity of the killing aura emanating from him was something that couldn't be faked, something only someone who had been in the depths of battle could possess.
Those who had previously underestimated him due to his age no longer dared to raise their voices.
In this world, only strength mattered, and Chen had just made it clear that he was the strongest in that tent.
Chen had done this to establish his authority. This army was composed of members of prestigious clans, and if he didn't establish his power from the beginning, they would never respect him.
Leaning back, his gaze still fixed on the clan leaders. "I don't know how things were organized before, but from today on, the Uchiha and Shimura clans will be the vanguards. You will be in charge of the front line," he said indifferently.
"What?! That's IMPOSSIBLE!" shouted a representative of the Shimura clan, jumping up.
"I also think something is wrong!" responded a member of the Sarutobi clan loudly, standing up to support the Shimura clan.
The Sarutobi and Shimura clans had always had a close relationship, and they couldn't stay silent.
Chen observed them with a cold smile that didn't reach his eyes. "It seems the Sarutobi clan also has doubts. In that case, the Sarutobi clan will also be part of the vanguard. Pioneers together!"
The violent pressure of the aura fell once again on everyone present.
The tent filled with a suffocating atmosphere, causing their voices to be trapped in their throats.
None of them could even open their mouths under such oppression, their bodies trembling as they tried to stay on their feet.
Yi, gasping for breath, managed to speak with difficulty. "You're just... just satisfying your personal vendetta..." he said haltingly, each word costing him a monumental effort.
"That's right!" Chen looked at him fixedly, his piercing eyes seeming to pierce Yi's soul. "I'm taking revenge. And if you don't like it, you'll have to endure it," he said indifferently. "I'm taking my personal revenge. So what? You'll go to the front and attack obediently, just as I've ordered."
Rising slightly from his seat, his gaze fixed on Yi, as if challenging him to try to oppose. "When I speak, I don't want anyone interrupting me. Next time, it won't be so easy for you."
"The Hyuga and Aburame clans will be responsible for reconnaissance. The Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans will be in charge of joint operations, and the Inuzuka clan will handle the secondary battlefield," he continued indifferently.
Except for the three clans, Uchiha, Sarutobi, and Shimura, the rest of the clans seemed satisfied. However, the ninjas from the Uchiha, Sarutobi, and Shimura clans had grim expressions, clearly discontent.
The Sarutobi clan was especially upset. After all, the Hokage was their patriarch, and Chen was showing no deference to him.
"I want to know the current situation on the battlefield. Who can brief me on it?" he asked, looking at them.
"Let me speak about it!" said the Nara clan patriarch as he stood up.
"The combat effectiveness of Kumogakure is very strong, and their number of troops is double ours. In recent days, we've had several engagements with them and suffered great losses. More than two hundred ninjas have died, four hundred have been seriously injured, and..."
As he listened to the Nara patriarch's report, Chen absorbed every detail.
The situation was clear: Konoha had been crushed. This wasn't due to a lack of combat skills, but rather the fact that Konoha was in a defensive stance, not taking the initiative to attack.
Otherwise, the situation could have been even worse.
It's not that the Konoha ninjas were ineffective. The real problem was that Kumogakure had a large number of troops, and also the Third Raikage leading their army. No one in Konoha could face the Third Raikage, who was like a tailed beast.
That was the main reason why Konoha had been so soundly defeated.
"And what is the situation with Kumogakure?" he asked after understanding Konoha's situation.
The Nara patriarch smiled awkwardly. "I don't have all the information, but we know that the enemy has the Third Raikage, his son, and the Raikage's assistant."
"The Third Raikage and the Raikage's assistant, Dodai, are two Kage-level powerhouses. The Third Raikage's son, known as A, has been identified as the future Fourth Raikage."
"Although A is technically a quasi-Kage-level ninja, his combat effectiveness is no less than that of a true Kage," explained the Nara patriarch seriously.
This was why Konoha was being defeated. An army led by a man with power at the peak of Kage rank, accompanied by two Kage-level individuals, was practically unbeatable.
The combined strength of the enemy far exceeded the capacity of Konoha's army to face them.
Yi Uchiha, the strongest on Konoha's side, had skills comparable to those of a Kage, and perhaps could even defeat the Third Raikage's son. But still, the situation remained desperate.
With each passing day, Konoha's defeat seemed more certain. If Chen hadn't arrived, Kumogakure would probably have defeated Konoha within a month.
But now that he was there, things would take a different direction.
