Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

At this time, it was still better to be more cautious. The Two-Tails Jinchuriki should be an easy target to handle.

Compared to the other two, their strength should be slightly lower.

The head of the Hyuga clan was very surprised when he heard his words. 'Could this guy really take down a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki?'

Was he being arrogant, or was he showing off? He wouldn't think that the other party was just showing off, and even less likely to believe that he would tell such a lie on this occasion.

Even Fugaku had no intention of refuting him.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was so young, yet he already possessed such combat strength.

In contrast, his daughter, Hinata, still looked so weak, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Within the clan, only his younger brother's son, Hyuga Neji, could be considered a top-tier genius.

But they were from the Branch Family. Even if he was willing to let this genius carry the clan's banner, the elders of the clan would never agree.

When it came to geniuses within the clan, the Uchiha clan truly produced talents in great numbers.

He also spoke up. "Since Ryosuke has the confidence to take down a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, let him handle the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."

"I will deal with the Fourth Raikage. The opponent is a Taijutsu ninja, and our Hyuga clan is also proficient in Taijutsu. We should be able to hold him off."

"Then, Clan Leader Fugaku will take on the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. The Sharingan should be able to exert some influence on the Tailed Beast, right?"

"As long as the two of us can hold off the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and Ryosuke can defeat the enemy's reinforcements, then this war will have a chance of victory, or at least, we can avoid defeat."

He felt that this arrangement was very reasonable. It gave him hope for victory, and this hope was brought by a member of the Uchiha clan.

This was the confidence of the Uchiha clan.

To think that such a powerful young man had emerged.

Being able to defeat a Two-Tails Jinchuriki was already an exceptional feat.

The Uchiha clan's Genjutsu could even be used on Tailed Beasts, so they should have an advantage against the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

As for himself, he would try to remain undefeated—not because he lacked confidence, but because the Fourth Raikage's Taijutsu was at the peak level of the current ninja world.

Fugaku also felt that what the other party said made sense. Indeed, his Sharingan Genjutsu could influence a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

Ryosuke should be the strongest among the three of them. If he could quickly take down the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and then assist the allied ninja forces of the two clans, the victory of this war would tilt in their favor.

He looked at Ryosuke. "Ryosuke, the victory of this war depends on you."

Ryosuke nodded. As he expected, this war would ultimately rely on him.

He could also use the Two-Tails Jinchuriki to test his own combat strength.

At this moment, Fugaku turned to the Hyuga clan leader.

"Then it's settled. Also, I'll trouble the Hyuga clan leader to assign people to keep a close watch on the surroundings so that the main forces can properly rest. We will begin our battle against Kumogakure tomorrow."

The Hyuga clan leader nodded. This kind of task had to be done by their Hyuga clan.

———

Kumogakure's forces were stationed at the border camp.

The Fourth Raikage had already learned that the Konoha ninja alliance had arrived through the information gathered by his spies.

Sure enough, there were only members of those two clans.

These two clans were easy to identify—the Hyuga clan's pupils were different from ordinary people's, being completely white.

As for the Uchiha clan, even if they wore green flak jackets, they still had their distinctive clan emblem on their backs—a fan-shaped symbol.

To think that only these two clans had actually come. It seemed that the letter was not a deception.

This time, they must wipe out these two clans.

This would greatly weaken Konoha's power.

How foolish of Konoha's higher-ups. They thought that after winning their internal struggles, they had secured victory, but they didn't realize that Konoha would soon be trapped in a quagmire.

The Land of Fire was surrounded by three powerful forces—the Sand Village of the Land of Wind, the Mist Village of the Land of Water, and his own Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning.

All of them harbored ambitions to carve up the Land of Fire.

After all, the Land of Fire was the richest and most populous land in the ninja world.

Who wouldn't covet such a vast territory?

This time, after taking down these two clans, his Cloud Village would become the most powerful ninja village in the world.

At the same time, they would force the Land of Fire to cede its fertile lands.

He immediately ordered his subordinates. "Get some rest. Prepare to fight tomorrow."

The border between the two countries was a vast area, perfect for battle.

...

The next day.

The allied ninja forces of Konoha's two clans slowly advanced toward the border.

With the Hyuga clan's Byakugan reconnaissance, they weren't worried about encountering any threats.

Moreover, the terrain was becoming more open, leaving no places for enemies to hide.

At the same time, the Fourth Raikage led his ninja army to the border as well.

The two armies faced each other from a distance.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the Fourth Raikage, who wore a headband with the kanji for "four" on it, and questioned him.

"Fourth Raikage, why have you gathered an army near the borders of my Land of Fire? Are you planning to start another war?"

The Fourth Raikage, however, did not answer immediately.

Just as the letter described, there were indeed only the two clans' allied forces.

Their numbers were small.

Meanwhile, his Cloud Village not only had superior high-level combat forces—after all, they had brought Tailed Beast Jinchuriki—but also had twice as many Jonin and Chunin as the enemy.

This war was in the bag.

He smirked and said, "You Konoha shinobi killed our Kumogakure envoy during peace negotiations. Shouldn't you give us an explanation? We have mobilized our forces only to demand justice. Don't think that Kumogakure is easy to bully."

"While there's still time, hand over the Hyuga clan leader and that bastard Uchiha Ryosuke, and we will withdraw immediately."

Of course, there was no way he would actually retreat.

If they handed over the Hyuga clan leader, not only would they weaken Konoha's top-tier combat strength, but they would also demoralize the enemy—killing two birds with one stone.

Upon hearing the Fourth Raikage's words, Uchiha Ryosuke was dumbfounded.

'Why was he involved in this?'

Was it because he had thwarted their plans, and now they hated him as well?

The Hyuga clan leader standing in the front was even more furious.

"Fourth Raikage, you are truly shameless! Spouting nonsense on the battlefield! It was your Kumogakure that tried to kidnap my daughter and steal our Hyuga clan's Bloodline Limit, the Byakugan!"

"And now you dare to twist the truth? Do you think Konoha is easy to bully?"

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku also spoke up. "Clan Leader Hyuga, don't be provoked. They are merely trying to shake our morale."

He turned to the Fourth Raikage. "If it's a fight you want, then let's fight. Enough with the pointless drivel."

The Fourth Raikage never expected them to hand over the people so easily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered mobilizing an entire ninja army to the border.

"Then let's fight!"

According to the plan, Hyuga Hiashi was the first to step forward, pointing at the Fourth Raikage and angrily shouting. "Fourth Raikage, old scoundrel, do you dare to fight?"

The Fourth Raikage was stunned for a moment. Was "old scoundrel" referring to him? His expression gradually became angry as well. He was in his prime—how could he be an old scoundrel?

Moreover, this Hyuga clan leader was not that young either.

"You bastard, who's afraid of who?"

However, he did not rush forward immediately. Instead, he gave orders to the people behind him.

"The battle is about to begin. I will eliminate this guy first, then come to support you all."

"Yugito Nii, Killer Bee, don't hold back—this is war."

"The others, coordinate with the two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki."

After saying that, he suddenly rushed out of the formation, waving his fist and smashing it toward the Hyuga clan leader.

The opponent, after all, was a clan leader of one of Konoha's prestigious clans. He should still be quite strong, making him a good test for his own improved strength after training.

In his battle against the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, if he had been alone, he would have lost.

After that, he had undergone rigorous training, pushing his speed to the extreme. Now, his speed could be said to be on par with Namikaze Minato.
