Book One: The Rise of the Blue-Haired Devil.

      - We won? – the voice of some shinobi from the crowd was heard in surprise, but due to the fact that the young man said this with a rather strange intonation, the other ninja understood this as a statement.       - We defeated him! Tsuchikage sama is the best! – the stone ninja began to rejoice, looking at the strange rectangular figure consisting of honey.       - Shut up! – Ishikawa barked at his subordinates. It was difficult for him to believe, but his senses, heightened over the years, indicated that the enemy had not yet been defeated. The army of stone fell silent. Each ninja tried to understand why their leader behaved the way he did. They sharpened their ears, trying to listen to the nature around them, which could often give many clues about the enemy and his location.       Unexpectedly for everyone, the ground under the feet of all the ninjas began to shake. The first to react to this was, of course, the Tsuchikage. He summoned a huge swarm of bees to defend the Jounin. The next moment, several snakes appeared from the ground, the size of which was more than five meters in height. There were five snakes in total. Each of them, opening its mouth, began to release a stream of icy air at the stone ninja. The bees could not save the shinobi from this. Even though they were filled to capacity with sen-chakra, the ice snakes also consisted of sen-chakra. When the temperature dropped to such a low level that creatures from the ice elemental chakra breathed, any living beings had to die. Shinobi can sometimes be an exception, because their chakra can seriously increase all the physical parameters of their bodies, but it must be dense enough to survive after a direct hit of ice. Kamizura had to send huge hornets in order to immobilize the dangerous ice creatures. It took a whole minute to destroy the dangerous monsters. Even with such a quick reaction and cooperative work, about a hundred shinobi managed to die from icy breath. The army just wanted to take a breath, but a loud explosion that occurred somewhere to the side forced them to turn in that direction with tension. In front of them stood a guy whose skin was covered in frost in places. He looked with anger at the huge army of the enemy. Even the kage winced at this look. Damn... I had to use the third stage of body evolution again. The fight with Muu didn’t exhaust me, but I didn’t really want to show such a strong trump card in front of such an experienced opponent. Kill the Tsuchikage now? Perhaps I will succeed, but my strength will clearly not be enough to escape after such a feat. Now I have the information, but how angry am I... did he seriously try to seal me away?! I'm almost a fuinjutsu master...why almost? It's just that only Uzumaki can get this title. I know all their seal techniques, but what I can achieve is nowhere near what they can achieve in this direction... seals are simply in their blood... Ishikawa looked at me with such a piercing gaze that I didn’t even feel at ease began... to respect something... Okay, you need to put your plan into action... it’s not for nothing that I’ve been playing by the enemy’s rules all this time? I hope he didn't think I was such a fool that I accidentally fell into his trap. I was just stalling for time to create my snakes. Opponents haven't even noticed their features yet... that's very good. I had enough time during Kamizuro's attack to set up a minefield. The field on which we fought was quite vast. I managed to place explosive seals using normal movement... every time I touched the ground, I placed an explosive seal in that place. The only thing I didn't take into account was the power of the kage technique... The master of bee techniques really stressed me out, I couldn't even imagine that his sealing technique was so powerful. If I could not enter the third form of ice evolution, then I would absolutely remain in the Ishikawa seal forever and ever. With an enemy of this level you need to be constantly on the alert, fortunately I still have Morgana... my personal insurance for all occasions... How to provoke them... Now the Tsuchikage will not direct his bees at me, because he has already clearly noticed that the temperature next to me is already below zero. His insects will simply die. He has already carried out a stealth attack... or rather tried... that's why he is now wincing so much from the unpleasant circumstance. Obviously, the number of hornets he has is very limited. He clearly doesn't want to waste them. Only these two reasons stopped the experienced warrior from launching an attack. He just wanted to avoid losses, but now he is beginning to understand that casualties in a battle with me are inevitable. The Tsuchikage quickly decided to send three hornets in my direction to try to immobilize me again. I answered this very harshly. Turning the blade in my hands into a long needle, I sent it towards the overgrown insects. The speed was simply unimaginable, but the hornets would have been able to evade my throw if it had been straightforward. When the hornets began to change trajectory to avoid a fatal hit from a sharp needle, my weapon followed them. By controlling the aiming of the needle with the help of chakra threads, I killed three huge creatures, but by this time Ishikawa had already given the command to his ninjas to launch an attack. Stupid? Perhaps... but what else could he do? Don’t waste some exotic bees on me... On a boy who has acquired strength not inferior to him...       - Ice element, storm coming technique! – I said with chilling calm the name of the technique, blowing out of my mouth a huge clot of icy flame... yes, exactly flame, because I poured so much chakra into this jutsu that it was approximately equal to four or five volumes of good jōnin. There was a little less than a hundred meters between us, but even when my ninjutsu was being formed, the opponents understood all its potential danger. They tried to move to the sides to avoid the blue flames, but they were only partially successful... most of the shinobi fell under the technique, the range of which was increased due to the huge amount of chakra invested in it. I don't know how many ninja were injured, because at that moment I decided to start retreating. Most likely, this was the right decision. I could quickly fall exhausted, and the remnants of the army had already come to their senses... Not all the stone ninjas immediately responded to the alarm. Ten percent at best, the elite so to speak. Basically, the army of stone consisted of young ninjas aged eighteen to twenty-five years. Young, confident and very ambitious ninja were eager to fight to show the whole world whose hidden village was better... whose ideals were stronger and more correct, although, to be honest, the ideals of all villages were the same. They are all trying to take care of their future. War is just one of many methods to quickly show the power of a country, showing everyone else their place in the world. Cruel? Yes. Not fair? Yes. This is world politics, here all means are good. However, as my sensei said: “If you want justice in the world, then do it yourself:” These words perfectly emphasize the fact that in this world, strength is first of all respected. Merits in the war... bravery and bravery, the will to win... this is what makes an ordinary person a real legend in any world... Eh... it’s too early for me to leave this world, Yumi won’t let me go... As I began to go deeper into the forest, I began to feel that Several chakra signatures were moving in my wake and very confidently.       - Katz. – I whispered, putting a seal of concentration. Many explosions were immediately heard from the direction of the clearing. The whole chain of peals lasted about five minutes. I deliberately did not blow everything up at once in order to gain more time to evade pursuit. The pursuers began to slow down, beginning to doubt their pursuit of me. Still, their comrades were dying in the clearing, and they were on the heels of the ninja who arranged all this, although how could they know this? Young people... inexperienced... think more with their hearts and fifth place than with their heads, but it’s worth playing it safe. Taking out a thin fishing line from the seal on my hand, I began to set traps on the fly. Very rough, clumsy, made in a hurry, but definitely enough for inexperienced ninjas, even jounins. It won’t kill, but it will clearly be able to detain you for some time. Ishikawa clearly won't follow me. He controls his emotions, although I clearly saw a spark of anger and rage in his eyes. He definitely won't forget about my outing. I can play on this. Only after going a decent distance did I lose all my enhancements. Fatigue came over me with extraordinary force. The desire to fall right on some tree was simply wild, but I clearly understood that now whether we could win on this front or not depended on my actions... It was necessary to move to the camp. I don’t care about my condition... I’m the fucking commander of this front... my motivation wasn’t particularly successful, although I still managed to force myself to move long enough to get to the camp, at the entrance to which Kagami was already waiting for me. I could clearly see from his face that he was unhappy. Along the way I was able to set over a hundred traps. This will delay the stone ninjas a little, but their numbers, which I have not mentioned before, are simply frightening. The army, which the Tsuchikage personally led, was in no way inferior in number to the army of the stone, which means that Muu was leading some kind of sabotage detachment, which was supposed to hit us second in order to finally defeat us. Fifteen to seventeen thousand ninjas... This is tough, I just can’t imagine how I can stop this offensive. My two sabotages could kill them, but it is unlikely that one or at best two thousand ninjas will stop the advance of the stone.       - Michiko-dono... - the Uchiha wanted to tell me something. From his eyes I realized that something adequate was clearly not worth expecting from his speech, so I abruptly interrupted him.       - Sound all clear. We are moving inland. – I said in a commanding tone.       - But... what about the front? – the head of the red-eyed clan clarified with surprise in his voice.       - Front? Are you kidding? The army there is five times larger than us. They are pressing us from both sides with two detachments. We can only delay their approach, but I need to talk to the Hokage about this. Now we will all just die here. We have an advantageous point for a battle against one army, but against two... we will simply be overwhelmed here by numbers... So we must weaken the enemy’s army while it moves through our lands, and then defeat it on our battlefield. – I clarified the whole situation to my deputy.       - Everything will be done. Within two hours we will assemble the camp, and you should show yourself to the medical ninja. – Kagami answered me, already looking at me with understanding.
