After Wave Minato left, Chao Yanqian started a one-person practice.
Putting a kunai five meters in front of him, the hands of Chao Yanqian began to form seals. As chakra started to move, Chao Yanqian's body moved slightly but still stopped in place, unable to move to the position of the kunai.
[Flying Thunder God Technique] was really difficult. Even if the control power of Chao Yanqian's chakra reached the standard, to use this ninjutsu would still require a certain period of hard training.
The most difficult point of the [Flying Thunder God Technique] was that you must sign a space-time contract with yourself, and this required the operator to understand space to a certain extent and simulate two spaces in the real world.
To put it simply, it was to imagine that oneself and the marked kunai were in two different spaces, and then through the method of "reversal summoning technique," let yourself appear at the coordinates of the marked kunai.
It was no wonder that in the original work, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, needed a team of elites to use the [Flying Thunder God Technique] together. It was because learning it required too much knowledge.
Summoning technique, sealing technique, chakra control, understanding of space these were all indispensable, and each had to reach a very high level. Especially the last one: it was necessary for the operator to have superhuman talent and comprehension.
Space was a very ambiguous concept. In his previous life, Chao Yanqian had seen many experts analyze the nature of space.
Therefore, Chao Yanqian was not lacking in brains; the key was how to show his understanding through chakra.
Theoretical knowledge was indispensable, but assiduous cultivation was even more so.
In the following days, in addition to the necessary basic practice, Chao Yanqian spent almost all his time learning the [Flying Thunder God Technique]. Even the medical squad's affairs were mostly delegated; unless it was an injury that other medical ninjas could not handle, Chao Yanqian would not take action.
In this way, another month passed.
Just two days ago, there was news that shocked all Konoha ninjas: Yunyin Village had declared war on Konoha. Orochimaru was sent to the front lines as the commander to resist the attack from Yunyin Village, and Konoha was once again caught in the situation of being besieged by two great shinobi villages.
In the original work, during this period, Konoha should have been dragged down by Sunagakure, and then Iwagakure attacked Kumogakure, causing the Third Raikage to be beaten to death by 10,000 ninjas.
But with Chao Yanqian's participation, Sunagakure had a truce with Konoha due to civil strife, and Iwagakure's main forces were dragged by Konoha. Yunyin Village, which had no restrictions, directly declared war on Konoha.
The power of Yunyin Village was unquestionable. In the original work, even though the Third Raikage died in battle, a large number of Kumogakure ninjas survived under his cover. Afterwards, Kumogakure still declared war on Konoha.
In this life, Yunyin Village simply declared war on Konoha earlier.
Originally, Chao Yanqian thought that Kirigakure would also take the opportunity to attack Konoha. After all, Uchiha Madara, who manipulated the Mizukage from the shadows, hated Hashirama Senju, who had once rejected him, and had no affection for Konoha. If Konoha were besieged by three shinobi villages, with Konoha's current strength, even if the Hokage personally entered the war, it would still suffer heavy losses.
But Uchiha Madara's thoughts were not something Chao Yanqian could easily predict.
One month after Yunyin Village declared war on Konoha, Kirigakure sent a large number of ninjas to harass the borders of the Land of Lightning, helping Konoha hold down part of Yunyin's fighting power.
Although Kirigakure did not announce an alliance with Konoha, its current actions were undoubtedly helping Konoha through the crisis.
After hearing the news, Chao Yanqian immediately began speculating about Uchiha Madara's intentions.
Although Chao Yanqian could not control the entire ninja war like Uchiha Madara, he had to understand the situation of the ninja world. Only by doing so could he adapt to changes and profit from them.
Uchiha Madara was very old now, only surviving by relying on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. For Uchiha Madara, the most important thing now was to influence Obito Uchiha and let Obito continue his plan after his death.
To accomplish this goal, Konoha had to continue existing.
Although Uchiha Madara resented Konoha, his purpose was not to destroy it but to achieve peace through his own methods.
For Uchiha Madara to surpass Hashirama Senju, Konoha must exist. He wanted everyone in Konoha to witness his resurrection, witness the peace he created, and completely overturn Hashirama's ideals.
To Uchiha Madara, no one in this world was important. Whether it was Konoha or the Uchiha clan, they were all like grains of sand to him.
Only Hashirama Senju was the goal Uchiha Madara most desired to surpass both in strength and in ideals.
Without Konoha, peerless powerhouses like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha would not be able to resist the siege of the four great shinobi villages.
If Kirigakure also attacked Konoha at this time, then Sunagakure, having recovered from civil strife, would certainly seize the opportunity to destroy Konoha.
In the original work, Kirigakure declared war on Sunagakure, restraining part of their strength, allowing Konoha to defeat Sunagakure. In this life, Kirigakure also chose to help Konoha through this crisis, allowing Konoha to win the Third Shinobi World War.
After all, Konoha was a village founded by Madara Uchiha his dream. To Madara, only he had the right to destroy Konoha, no one else.
After clarifying Uchiha Madara's thoughts, Chao Yanqian let out a long sigh of relief.
As far as Tsunade was concerned, as long as Konoha could survive the war, it would be fine. It didn't matter what other people thought the important thing was surviving.
"I underestimated Uchiha Madara's calculations," Chao Yanqian thought.
Chao Yanqian had always believed that after Uchiha Madara controlled Kirigakure, he would declare war on Konoha and take the opportunity to destroy it during the ninja war. After all, Uchiha Madara had been driven away by Konoha, and he must have harbored resentment.
But destroying Konoha was obviously not Madara's goal. Uchiha Madara wanted to defeat Hashirama Senju and create a peace that belonged to him.
If Uchiha Madara was manipulating the ninja world war with this mindset, it would only be a matter of time before Konoha won the Third Great Ninja War.
Thinking of this, Chao Yanqian suddenly had a new plan in his heart.
