Relying on its powerful medical system, Konoha does not fear engaging in prolonged wars with any village.

Some injuries that other villages cannot treat can be cured in Konoha. Some injuries that take several months for other villages to heal can be treated in Konoha in possibly one or two months. This back-and-forth naturally allows Konoha's strength to be displayed.

This is the benefit of a powerful medical system.

Konoha understood this point, and Sunagakure and others naturally understood it as well. Therefore, it is only natural that those villages want to decide the battle with Konoha as quickly as possible.

Of course, if they continue to wear down Konoha, depleting Konoha's vital forces so that Konoha can no longer dominate, that is also a path they can take.

The key is how to choose. Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure are naturally all harboring ulterior motives, hoping that other villages can help them absorb more hatred, making Konoha fight to the death with them.

At the same time, they are also wary of Kumogakure, as the other villages are almost at each other's throats, yet Kumogakure is still watching from the sidelines, covetously.

Not only has Kumogakure taken a share of the missions from various villages, but its new generation of ninja is also constantly growing.

Kumogakure absolutely cannot be allowed to continue developing peacefully like this.

In fact, Ōnoki is already hesitating whether to first have a real battle with Kumogakure to deplete its vital forces, because, all things considered, the relationship between Kumogakure and Iwagakure is not very good. There are often frictions between them.

However, the prerequisite for this is to first deplete Konoha.

"Forget it, Kazuki can handle his own affairs. All I need to do is provide him with protection."

Tsunade paused, then continued, "If he's truly pushed too far, only a few people can appease him. He won't give face to certain individuals."

Orochimaru understood what Tsunade was saying.

If Danzo deliberately targets Kazuki, then Kazuki is not one to be trifled with.

His strength is almost unrivaled in the world, was he going to tolerate Danzo's provocations?

Tsunade herself did not know if Kazuki would give her face. She only hoped that Danzo and the others would not do anything foolish.

...

"Ahhh, it's Kazuki, run."

"Kill! Quickly kill him! He's only one person, and there are so many of us, we can wear him down."

The attitude of Kirigakure ninjas towards Kazuki could be described as a complete reversal. There was no other way. Kazuki's displayed strength was too great, and his actions had garnered too much hatred. There was no one in the entire Kirigakure who did not hate him.

They wanted to kill Kazuki, but they did not know how to kill him.

Thus, Kazuki, along with a portion of Anbu, continuously harvested the lives of Kirigakure ninjas wreaking havoc in the Land of Fire.

Actually, if it weren't for the insufficient number of Flying Thunder God Marks, which would make it inconvenient to let the Anbu explore those areas alone, as it was simply too dangerous, Kazuki had considered letting these Anbu and other Konoha ninjas carry Flying Thunder God kunai to search for those Kirigakure ninjas.

However, he did not have many Flying Thunder God Kunai. It was better for Kazuki himself to go to various places to leave Flying Thunder God Marks and then search for those Kirigakure ninjas himself.

But even so, Kazuki still led the Anbu and some of Konoha's elite, continuously slaughtering the destructive Kirigakure ninjas throughout the Land of Fire.

This allowed these Konoha ninjas to experience the joy of fighting alongside Kazuki for the first time.

It turned out that combat could be so simple. Kazuki instantly controlled everyone with genjutsu, and then they went to eliminate these Kirigakure ninjas. This fighting style was something they had never anticipated.

Kazuki chose to give these people some military merits. After all, following him meant gaining military merits and benefits, which was a way to win people's hearts.

If you want others to follow you, you have to give them some benefits, right?

And these merits were equally dispensable to Kazuki.

If he wanted to, he could just kill these Kirigakure ninjas, why would he need to expend so much effort?

Soon, the Konoha ninjas discovered something. The time and energy they spent on traveling far exceeded the consumption of battle.

Not to mention anything else, even Rika's gaze towards Kazuki was filled with complexity.

It was fortunate that Kazuki was not born in the Sengoku era, otherwise, given his strength, it is likely that no one except Hashirama would be his match, not even Tobirama.

This Uchiha youth, with just genjutsu, was impossible to guard against. But when cooperating with such an Uchiha, it truly made one feel at ease.

Moreover, Kazuki was only using his three-tomoe Sharingan. It was hard to imagine what the scene would be like once Kazuki used his Mangekyo Sharingan.

She knew that Kazuki had controlled the Three-Tails in Kirigakure and had used Susanoo and Amaterasu.

Just as the group was preparing to kill other Kirigakure ninjas, Kazuki paused, looking thoughtfully towards the direction of the main camp.

"What happened?" Rika quickly asked.

She knew that Kazuki's sensory abilities were very great. Could it be that something significant had happened?

"Kirigakure ninjas are gathering, preparing to launch an attack on the main camp."

Kazuki's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent as he said, "It seems they plan to take advantage of this opportunity to strike us while we are vulnerable."

"Reinforcements should still take two days to arrive here." Rika became anxious upon hearing this.

"If the main camp is defeated again, it will probably be very difficult to organize another one. At that time, thousands of Kirigakure ninjas will pour in, and the Land of Fire might fall into complete chaos."

"It's fine, leave the rest to me. I can go alone." Kazuki said with his arms crossed over his chest, his face full of confidence.

"What?" Rika was shocked. "That's thousands of ninjas, plus Six-Tails and the Mizukage."

"Yes, I know, but I have confidence in my strength."

Kazuki instructed Rika, "You all are responsible for tidying up, mainly to prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to infiltrate deep into the Land of Fire and cause destruction. As for the main army, I alone am enough."

After speaking, Kazuki's figure disappeared from the scene.
